RAIL ROAD TO BUFFALO.
Thbirecent action' of •the Legislature e
New York In chatteringa,company to con
struct a road from Buffalo to the Pennsylvania
line, openisto the people of this section of the
State an opportunity which, if improved as it
should be, will give thetkwhat they htits so
long striven for, a rail road communication
with the Atlantic cities. We have been
down on our knees begging Philadelphia for
years to give us this privilege by means of
the Sunbury and,Erie route. We have, rep- ,
resented the great end lasting advantages
which
,would accrue to them, to the State,
and to us, by such a connection, but they
have rudely and contemptuously spurtied •our
appeals. Duty, state pride, and the in
terest of the commonwealth, require nothing
more of this kind at our hands. New York
is extending her iron arms toWard us, and in
viting us to her embrace. Nature, itself
points ton her as our market and metropolis,
and we Would be foolish indeedif we did not
accept the proffered offer and.follow the path
which nature has • pointed out. The means
to do this is now within our reach. II( w
long they will remain so, is another question.
The charter by the legislature of New York
of a company to construct a road from Beira--;
le tnour line, and•the charter• of the North
East and Erie road, now enables us to con
nect with the New York and Erie road at
Dunkirk, which will be completed - in two
years, and the Buffalo and Albany road, which
has been completed for a number oryear's.—
'But if we would secure this contemplated
connection with New York, We must have
prompt and immediate action. Thei work
must be commenced at once, or alt - Will be
lost. When we say at once, we mean
riotsexT SRASON! We have it from coon
Aunionrry that an effort will be Made at the
next session of the Legislature, by - membera
in the interest. of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
and the Central Road, to repeal the act char
tering the North East and - Erie road. That
effort vitt.t. BE SUCCESFUL, unless the work
shall be previously commenced. Philadel
phia and Pittsburgh will stop at white; to
retain their present trade of the Ohio, which
is fast leaving them, and seeking New. York
by the way of the lakes and Fail roads. They
think they can alse secure a portion of the lake
trade and travel, by building their Central
Read, with its tunnels, curies and inclined
, planes„ end extending it on to Cleveland.—
What a fallacy. Already a large portion of
the travel between thelollio and Mississippi
rallies and the Atlantic cities, is leaving
them by ineanb of the Cincinnati nod San
dusky tca ', and when t h e New York and
Erie road is finished to this place, as it will
be if they. do pot succeed in repealing the
charter of the North ) East and Erie road, the
balance of it will follow in its track. How
important, then, is it that the matter should
at once be taken in hand, and placed where
Legislation cannot reach it. By commencing
it immediately we shall place it there, • fur
even a Philadelphia legislature dare not ab
rogate private contracts. • •
Besides our cm n citizens, the facts set forth
above are interesting to those of New York—
especially those of western New York, who.
with the stock-holders of the.NeW York and'
Erie rOae,have a deep intetest in the final com T
plet ion of the road to this city. If the chart

will be• unless iv i lAt we have suggested is
adopted, the Nen York and Erie road will be

by of,,either 'protracting oi
the contest.
I respect the to eof 9.: H.' .'s communi
cations, though t disagree with his conclu
sions. He bases tis cepclusio s upon .prern-
lies which have t emselves no foundation.—
He thiliks the Me ican war is war of con
quest, end that e ery act of t e administra
tion goes to.prov. it. . But this supposition I
am prepared to r - Cute by afe very simple
considerations. )ilea the Admi hstration ever
avowed its object to be that of onquest? If
the war was begun, or -lAA be n prosecuted
with a viztv to the conquest of Mexico, why
has fair and honorable terms of peice been so
repeatedly offered during.its pro ress? Now,
'gentlemen, I think it very inonsistent for
:any man tp, , conceive the ? pi ffle ', and utter it
in print, that this is the Piesid nt's war, and
4)
that its avowed and ultimate object is to usurp
the whole of Mexico, and big her from the
list of nations; It is true ou armies have
swept every-thing before them from the Rio
Grande to the city of Mexico... But the Mex
icans would have 'it so. When a nation In
vites us to hostilities it is our part to "Con-
Tier n peace" when conciliatory means fail to
obtaielit. This is not only the law of nations
but the law of common sense. A nation that
invites mar and then refuses to put a stop to
it, must be made to feel its consequences.—
But 1 - consider* to be a flat contradictioU of
truth is assert that it is a President's war.—
The'President has no constitutional power to
dcclarwilrid carry on war. Dire he usurp
that power? Such an attempt would impeack
him in a moment. Nothing could shield him
from the indignation and execration of his
countrymen. The war was declared by , the
aletost unanimous voice-of Congress. _ They
voted supplies of men, money and provisions
for its vigo rous
,_d prosecution. , Encouraged by
this our little army breasted manfully the
"tog of- war," and have 'covered themselves
with glory and honor. put what cry does
the next gale that sweeps from the halls of
Congress bring to our ea4.s? Why, the'cry
of certain members who have discovered their
'patriotism and are now doing penance in sack
cloth and ashes. A change %times over the
Spirit of their dreams. Their patriotism ebbs
arid !flows with the tide—being chiefly at an
ebb. , Havitig discoverer. that the war is in
doner of drawing down the "vengeance of
Ilea 'en," they wish to divest themselves of
its t rrible responsibilities, and the crime of
imbr ing their hands in the blood of their fel
-1
tow en, by throwing it un the President. 4—
Most surely this is capping the climax Of abL
surdity. I '
'Another complaint of G. 11. M 's is, that
' I:. i a mbition has taken its Seat in k the ' counci s ofi
nation; and g re a t o bject the nation; and that the great Object Of the ,
Administration is to increase the slave power
in the States. It is hard to discover here
whether he argues causes from effects or eft
fects From climes: Whether ambition was the
primordial mover in this tatter, or whether it
is the result of the war. The only way I
have of getting nt the meaning is, that it is
•the'rely his opinion for it.' , Will any man at
`itiTyipt to sa that our grasping ambition was
the cause o the war? Can any man believe
j ,
that it has been prosecuted with -ambitious
motives? The continual: of the war, as
eviory body knows, is uteri utable to the ob
.-
.stinacy of the Mexicans.,-,. c if our efforts to
conquer a peace have involved us in vast ex
penses, the burden, according to the laW of
nations, must fall upon the vanquished. The
ihabitity or refusal of Mexico to mike indem
nity for the - expenses of the tar, must be met
by seizing a requisite portion of her territories.
But this method , of getting our pay, G. H. M.
calls ambition:l' If it really is ambition, it is
hardly necessaq to say that it is a sort °fern
bition which is very prevalent in the world,
from governments and potentates, down to the
honest anti retired citizen.

Tho Ugh a southerner, and liable, as is ev
ery man, to fall in with the prejudices of, my
countrymen, I am free to acknowledge that I
have no sympathy with the extension of sla
very. I believe it to be a blot which can be
washed away only by prudence and time. I
have no respect,, either for the persons or
opinions of headlong innovators who would
take to arms, in their blind fanaticism, march
againsti their southern brethren, and set their
slaves free at the point of the bayonet. The
zeal of abolition crusaders have no doubt
ii.res
tored eie t i the compromising spirit which had
gained g oirnd at the South. Though we
took Os esjion of M exico, I have little anti
cipitic n that slavery will be entailed upon her
instil lions. The mass of the Mexicans are
theme lvs but mere serfs. Were our Insti
tution. elstended over them it would raisethem
.
from t ns thraldom, and encourage the spirit
of indtistry by placing them-on an, honorable
basis. 1- ,The fact of their being acclimated

FROM MEXICO. Fr.
A correspondent of'the New Orleans Del
ta, writes from Vera Cruz on the 3d inst. as
'
"The Propeller Massachusetts artived yes
terday?morning from your city, bringing dates
of the 27th ult., and Nathan Clilibi l ifl (Attor
ney General,) Minister Plenipotentiry from
the United States government to AI ”tico.—
Mr. C. leaves this evening, accompanied by
Major Stewart, Paymaster, and escorted to
the city of Mexico by a company Of the Lou
isiana Mounted volunteers under Capt. Fair
child. Information was received here on Sat
urday theist inSt., that Gen. Santa Anna had
arrived that day, with his lady and daughter,
at his hacienda at Antigua, 26 miles from
here, escorted by Capt. 'filglitna'n, (of the
ILight Artillery, District of Columbia and
Maryland Regiment.) with 50 men, and San-1
to Anna's Lancers, numbering 100. At ,ten
o'clock yesterday, your humble servant, with
inreo others, proceeded to pay our respects, fff
&c. After riding at a fast pace for two hours,
we arrived at the river Antigtia,•at which
place we entered a narrow -path and continu
ed'onir pace through the chapparral until we
aiti‘ecl at a small village, and were informed
the one opposite was Antigua. We then
swam our horses over the ricer and rode to
the only brick' house in - the the place, and
found, on ourentrance, the Senora Santa Ann/
na smoking a cilgorito. We were introduced
by Capt. Tilgliam. Senora Santa Anna was•
very plainly and simply dressed in figured
muslin, with very short sleeves. She wore
nolornaments of any kind, except a very small
watch and and a costly chain. She is very
handsome, of a light complexion, and evident
'ly no more them 'lO years of age. The Gen
eral, being at the time in bed, could not be
disturbed. So we had to remain until four
o'cleck, the hour appointed for, his appearance..
As we had to wait an hour, we enjoyed the
interim by walking through the village. Not
a house but was filled with Citierrilleres,- and
all armed with swords, shaped like a carving
knife. On our return the General was ep and
dressed; he received us with much courtesy,
and :.aid he ,received more kindness and atten
tion from the Americans in adversity, than
from his own countrymen.- He was d ressed
.
in a brown linen frock coat, white pahts, vest,
and neck-cloth, and a pair of polished boots
—the one on the cork-leg was a tight fit.—
Capt. Tilghman read the article in the Delta,
(which I carried along) of the revolution in
Paris which was iimnediately translated' by a
Lieutenant present.—The General: merely
shook his head and made no comments. Ile
is very anxious to leave the country; and in
quired-if we had observed a brig at he mouth
of the river which is to take him t 4Jamaica.
Being answered in the negative, h presented
us his gold sthiff-box. We helped ourselves,
shook hands with him and his lady, at the
same [ time presented her a bouquet, wishing
them:a pleasant passage, &c., we mounted to
return home.l
Gen. E i cott is expected to arrive here to-I'morrew. lam informed he is to leave on the
Massachusetts for your city. Col. Vilson,
Capt. Winder, and some few others, !eft this
morning to pay Gen. Santa Auna a visit. Ex-
L ieutenant John Smith of Capt. White's com
pany Louisiana Infantry, who deserted' a few
days ago, with seven men, were brotight [ to
this place yesterday, and are now confined in
the Castle. They will be tried in a few days.
There was a bull fight here yesterday, the
bull being tame. I am informed it was not
worth looking at. The Mexicans are getting
quite saucy, and things continuo so much
longer, the devil won't stand their insolence.
The mail by the propeller Washington, was
turned °veil to the Mexican Postmaster. • Af
terwards he refused to pay the U. S. postage'

Mustange , the Delta's correspondent, wri
ting from t e city - of Mexico, on the 28th ult.,
says:l -
,
The pres s nt government is certainly acting
with ,ftfore energy and determination than has
ever -ibeen known in the country since' the
conquest by he Spaniards. Every revolu
tidllia-ry spirit that has thus far, either by its
-
own designs, .or the promptings of ethers,
stood up exciting rebellion against the pow
ers that he, has been taken by the collar and I
. 1
placed in safe keening.
All the official newspapers coming from Ole
interior for the past week, manifest a decided
determination to support the present govern
ment, and all agree that the only salvation of
Mexico depends upon immediate peace.
Some of theni are lashing the revolutionists 1
in good round terms, and contending that their
only object in producing new dissensions is
either for personal aggrandizement, .) or kr the
object of selling the country Vi a foreignipow
t
er. -
Ma. C LAY .—The Delaware Gazette, speak
ing of the - proclamation or pronuncirtento of
Mr. Clay to the peUple, truly observes:
"So mach vain• glory combined with such
an lactation of modesty, can hardly be found
in any paper, of a similar description, extant,
He intimates that his friendsi, think that he
alone con save the,country, and although he is
not willing tu vouch for the cOrreetness of that
opinion, ho evidently does not entirely disbe
lieve it.
o:?The Democrat says that during one of
the battles in Mexico, a soldier, after being
struck by a bullet, was beard to exclaim:
"that last shot knocked all the Whiggery out
of mi." The fair 'presumption is, that tho
shot carried away a gooportion of the fel
low's brains.--. Louisville Journal.
That presumtiou is unwarrantable. If the
fellow had had any brains, he would not have
had any Whiggery in him; he was undoubt
edly hit in the rear.—Salem Times.
