APPOINTMENT HT THR POST MASTER GEN
staAL.—Henry Allison to be Post Master at
Fairview, vs. John Clemens, resigned.
02" Our State Legislature hes resolved to
adjourn sine die, on the llth of this month,
making a session of 99 days.. After the 12th
of April, their pay would be redtmed,from St 3
to ei 50. They would have savedtheir cred
it by baying done so long ago.
07- Balmy Spring has come at last.—
Thursday was a beautiful day--the aim shone
bright, and its warm rays spread an invigor
ating influence over ail
.things, animath and
inanimate. The birds, nature's feathered
minstrels. warbled forth their glad lays at the
prospect of returning summer. Take it all
in all, we rather think this is the best world
we ever saw.
U 7 The Butler Herald comes to us this
week in a new dress. We hail such improve
ments as evidence* prosperity among our
. cotanporaries. Not tube behind, however,
_we intend presenting the "Observer" to its
readers in an entire new dress about the first
of May. The campaign is coming on, and
we want to be "tile best looking chap in the
country, 0."
07. Late advices from Mier, on the Rio
Grande, announce that tho 3d dragoons sta
tioned there, are making preparations fur a
march to Victoria, the capital of the State,
with the intention of occupying it as amilita
ty post. We presume our correspondent,
"Otsego," goes with them, from which place
we shall most probably hear from him West.
Rail }load to Banta
We have seen a bill, introducet into the
New York legislature, authorizing the for
mation of a company, under the General Rail
Road law, of that State, for the construction
of a road from Buffalo to the State line, there
to unite with the North East and Erie Road.
We are informed that there is no -doubt that
it will become a law, and that immediate
measures will be taken to carry out its pro=
visions. To this section of the country this
is an important movement, and should theact
referred to become a law, immediate:measurea
ought to be taken to hive the Pennsylvania
portion of the road survefed and put under
contract. OtW New York -neighbors when
they move in a matter, do not do things by
halves—what - they undertake they accom
plish in about the time allowed to others to
talk—hence we should be ready, at the short
set weld the iron bands that will
unite cour,,interesta more firmly than ever.—
The New York and Erie Road Will be finish
ed to Pitikirk in two years, when, if this
link is C,ompleted, Philadelphia and Pittsburg
may build as many Central roads as they
please,thaY cover the country between Cleve
land and the latter city, with as many tracks
of iron as they can lay, and they will have
they trouble fur their pains—they can never
secure whit they are striving for, the trade of
the lakes—but will most probably lose a large
portion of what they already have, the trade
of the Ohio valley. • •
Faction and its Fruits
The democratic party have been obliged to
'carry on the war alone, and make Peace alone!
The Whig leaders opposed the war, and now
oppose peace. • They abused the President
for punishing Mexico for invading our soil—
and they are now abusing trim for accepting
terms of Peace! Was there ever, since the
world began, such an inconsistent party as
the federal whip. The peace party in war;
and the war party in peace . They will be
held to a strict account by ( the patriotic por
tion of the people.-
Galena and Chicago Railroad.
, We learn from the Chicago Journal, that
contracts for the grading and bridgiog of the
'first thirty-one miles of this'Road have been
taken. The Journal says; in relation to it:—
"We are confident that the Iron Horse will
be heard among us before the coming of an
ether winter, and that no small share of the
produce of the next harvest, will come to our
city over this road.
We regard the successful completion of
the road as now beyond a doubt. Every
mile built aids in building another; and it will
be with this road as it is with individuals—
the moment they see it prospering there will
he enough ready to assist in urging it onward.
We expect to ride into Galena in a handsome
railroad car, before we pull out our first grey
hair—if we do not there is no faith to be
placed in present indications, which are of
the most auspicious kind. -
We should not bee great deal surprised if
we found ourselves riding out some ten or
fifteen miles towards Galena on this track
about next Fourth of July."
A Speck of Baniony
The friends of Gen. Taylor attempted to
get up a grand Taylor demonstration in Bal
timore last week. They could n't cone it,
however—the friends of Clay bad their speak
ers on the 'ground, and the partisans of each
candidate successively hissed and hooted
them from the stand, and it is said that Rev
erdy Johnson, who was very tioisterously as
sailed for his last two-aided speech on the
war, leaped from . the "tribune," swearing that
ho did not-know that the "Whigs" of Balti

The world was startled last weeki by the
news brought by the Cambria of another rev.
elution In Fiance. Fort. Week or tittj ~ daYe
the public pulse' beat high, and hoites and
fears for the' good cause bold alternates away,_
The clouds have now disappeared, aid the
fears of the friends of progressive democra4
are allayed. The Caledonia brings the wel 7
come news that the revolution 'is complete
freedom and the people have triumphed, and
Prance—gloiious. France—is once more i s
Republic! God grant that:she may so contin
ue—that monarchy and despotism—titles and
nobility, the iron hand of misrule and oppres
sion, may never again find a resting place on
her fertile shores! And.not only France, but
the whole continent appears to be convulsed
by the throes of approaching revolution. In
Germany and Prussia, the news broUght by
the Caledonia says, the people are fire for re
volt and revolution. Like a skillful mariner,
who nee the storm approaching afar off;
Prince Metternich, the despotic priine minis
ter, has resigned. In Bavaria the people ha?e
risen, and, at Me point of the bayonet. de
manded a constitution from the King! R.+
Gluttons never go backwards, and although
force may for a time triumph over right, !a
better day must eventually dawn, and map,
disenthralled from the bondage of the feW,
regain the position God end nature intended
him to occupy, a freeman! That great and
good man, Rev. Robert Hall, said, when he
heard of the result of the battle of IVaterloo.
that ho felt as though the clock of the world
had gone back six centuties. To the friends
of freedom such must have been the aspect of
Europe, but the Pren' l ch nation have once more
set her right, and we confidently believe she
will not. run down until the broad banner of
freedom waves over her from centre to cir
cumference.
Since commencing the Ohne article, our
eyo has lit upon the following "picture,"
dramin by the Editor of the Pensylvanian,
which is so appropriate, that we adopt as it our
own. At the very moment, says that paper,
that the journals of tho European monarchists
are pFedicting the overthrow of American
institutions, on account of the war with
Mexico—even just after GU/ZOT was talking
in tre"assurance of safety and prerogative,
of preserving the balance of lower on the
North American continent—in the midst of
the vapid eloquence of Lord GEOROB BEN-'
TINCK, in favor of Eezing Cuba.—and while er
ery repro entative and dependent of priviiege
abroad, is feasting his eyes uponlke hope and
the belief, that:the United States are fakt
hastening ton prematurograve—a few-Fretilt
workmen, "in blouses," begin to sing a song
of liberty in the, streets of Paris, which is
presently responded to by thousands of others,
until at last an attempt is made to drive thetu
back to their dwellings, when in an instant the
smothered embers of revolution burst into is
blaze, which immediately consumes all the
instruments and ensigns of monarchy, drivitig
c
the Chamber of Peers into the high-way l ,
and causing Louis Pitmen?, himself to rt n
for the tauter. Thus in a few short hours,
vanish all the expectations of our enemies!
Thus Despair takes the place of Ilope! ,
Thus, by the unseen power of Providence, is
the mighty stricken down in the midst of his
greatness!
It is difficult to ,show in which aspect of
the late movement in France; the finger of
God is most distinctly seen— l whether in the
fact that it must ultimimatelyi be productive
of grave and healthy conseqUences tai this
country, or to the whole of civilized Europe.
When we remember how the plots.of &rope
in reference to the war with Mexico have
been counteracted and defeated by this move
ment of revolutionhow the predictions of
our enemies have been diliappointed in the
anticipated consequences of foreign interven
tion in that war—and what vast commercial
benefits to our country May follow—when we
see all this, we might be it:duced to regard
ourselves as the exclusive, objects of •this .
mighty revolution—if, at the same moment,
we did not-hear-the glad'sounds of the mas
ses released from the,chains 'of power in an
other WlS.—if at the same moment we did
not see Monarchy fleeing betnre the wrath of
an arroused people, and calling upon the hills
to cover and to hide it!
Truly is it a 'great and an exciting pic
ture.
•Their Walking Palms:,
The 13a) timore Argus says the following i:
the substance of some remarks madeby,lien
ry Clay to a ,whig of that city , during his last
visit. , These are rather peremptory orders
for Taylor whigcry, but they cannot -deny
their justness. It may, also, account some
what fur the hissing of Reverdy Johnson
when he attempted to make'a Taylor speech
in that city last week. Who says that whig
ery is nut harmonious:
"If there are any men who sincerely. be
lieve, that the old issues of a bank, tariff, pub
lic lands, &c., are 'defunct and worn out, as
declared by some of the friends of General
Taylor, why do they not go over to the o.em
°erotic party, like men, as they are bound to
to do, if they would be consistent. The idea
of creating a third party s itheut any defined
principles, or a political _chart for them to
steer by, is on undertaking in which none but
fools will be found engaged."

We have itiea faVored With ti:` copy of ap

tore of this State, explanatory of his project'
fer.a Rail :Read fAm tile. Waters. of E Lake
Michigan to ':thir Pacitia Ocean, .and:have
'read it .with inierest. ..The project is stu
pendous We know, and at •first its consumma
tion seems almost impossible, yet 'when we
tike into consideration tbi facts set . forth in
the - address, relative to its great importance
in a commercial point of view, and the • vast
benefits our-country would derive iu every
other branch Of industry, as well as the fa
cilities it would afFortfthe great country still
uninhabited on loth sideof the Rocky Moun
tains, the - greatness of th project disappears,
and we are constrained' o wonder thati the
ei t
government hesitates a moment in graniing
the necessary amount of the public dometin.
To our mind the terms upon which Mr: Whit
ney proposes to receive the requisite grant,
obviates all objections we have heard tilted
ageiinse surrendering into the hands of an in
dividual so large an amount of our public
lands. •But we may as 'well let him explain
his project in his own words. After demon
strating the practicability of the route pro
posed—that portion of it from the Mississip

"I have sought to and believe have matur
ed a plan which 'shall leave %%lilt Congress the
power of control, and of holding• all as secu
rity, making it a national road; while at the
same time the work would be carried on no an
individual enterprise, treed from the immense
government patronage which, as a govern
ment work, it would create, and also freed
from the delays, expenses and, insurmounta
ble difficulties sure to arise from constant
legislative changes of direction. 1 ask Con
gress to set apart (not grant to me) 60 miles
wide of the public land from Lake Michigan
to the Pacific ocean, for • this especial pur
pose.
- '1 make the starting point froiu Lake Mich
igan.first, as the road Would add value to the
lands; and as theland is the only source of
means, the road must be located where 4 4he
land on its line could be applicable to it. Land,
distant from the road,, could not be made
available, and therefore the project would fail.
There is no point :south of this route where
the public lands could be made produce means
for the work, and there is no point south
where the streams can be bridged. Your own
experience must,j think, satisfy you all of
the impossibility of bridging the principal
streams of this great valley of the Missis—
sippi below the route I Moro selected, and the
Rio Grande would be equally impassible.—
The commerce which we expect on this road
could not be cccommodutod by ferrying the
streams: ushil cats must be at oided: a
cargo of n. reh dize put on the road at
either ocean in not be changed until rir-•
rived at its demi tion in the interior or the
ocean." -
• * * • *
"It has been esti - ed that the road will
be from the lake to the ocean 2,400 Miles, but
the actual distance-froth the lake to the ocean,
allowing 260 miles for detour, will not ex
ceed 2,030 utiles. And it is estimated that a
good road, single track, heavy rail with turn
outs, can be built for $20,000 per mile,
amounting to $40,600,000, and Ili the road,
except this side of the Missouri, cold 'not
earn tiny income until all is completed to the
ocean, and must be kept in operation fott its
construction, a further sum of repairs, opera
tion and machinery, would be required of
s2o,ooo,ooo—making the total sum when
.ready for operation, $60,600,000; hut it has
been estimated as high as $100,000,000.
The 2,030 miles by GO wide, would give to
this wort 77,952,000 acres of waste land;
son miles nn 11w firot part ie good, nay 30, -
72 0,0 0 0 acres less fur waste laud and ordina-'
ry expenses of sale, and :allow that by the
road it might.he made to average the present
government price, sl*2s per acre, would pro
duce $32,1432,000. Thence to the ocean is
1,230 mile*, .or 47,232,000 acres, the greater
part of licit is represented as being too
poor to sti tain settlement; but allow the fa
cilities which the road would undoubtedly
create, to Make it a•erage one-half the pres
ent governMent price, and deduct 5 per cent.
foi expenses of sale, and we have $27,044,-
000, together $59,879,000, or a little less than
the estimated costof the road. But Suppose
the graduation bill to become a law# fixing
the minimum price of land 10 years in mar
k-et, at 25 cents per acre.for any of the best,
arid this '77,952,000 acres would at the full
price for all, amount to but $19,488,000.
This then is the capital stock for this great
work, to he brought into life and use only
. by
the work iti , elf."

"1 will now explain the simple plan by
which 1 - propose to carry out this great'work.
As 1 hat whefore 'said, 1 tin not ask Congress
to I grant me one acre of land'until the road
is built in ndvance. I first build 10 miles at
my own expense, which will cost e:2O, ( 00

pointed by the government, then, and not till
then, I take five miles •or l one-half of the
lands, with Which to reimburse myself—the
other half, With the road held by the govern
ment or soh!, as the demand fur settlement
may require s and as Congress shall direct, at
public auction in lot sof front 40 to IGO acres,'
and so on for the 800 miles, or so far as the
one-half will furnish means to build the 10
miles of mil, and afterwards on to the moon
taiis and tol the ocean. When the entire - GO
miles wide of poor lands do not furnish means
to complete the road through them, then the
fund which may hate been created and held
by the govermnpt in trust, from the sale of
the one-half of the good lands before named,
or the lunds shall be applied to this purpose,
but in all cas es the 10 miles of road must be
built, in advance of, receiving any lands or
money front lands sold. ,

the vast wertltl i of the 'great European bank
ers, who have t ade such %vise diseriminaticns
