deney, The fallowing is. the concluding portion
of the letter, which sufficiently indicates where
Daniel Webster intends going:
, z It is now more than thirty years since }-cu and
your fellow citizens of Isiew Hampshire, assigned
me- a part in •political affairs. - My public condUct
since that period is known. My iatinions on the
great questions, now most interesting to the ,coun
try, are known. The constitutional principles
which r have endeavored to maintain, arc also
known. If these prinriplei and these opinioni,
now not likely to be materially changed, shoUld
recommend me to further marks of public regard
and confidence, I should not withhold myself from
compliance with the general *ill. But I have no
pietensions of my own to bring forward, any trust
that no friends of mine would at any time use my
name for the purpascafprecenting harmony fencing
those, whose general political opinions concur; oar
for any cause whatever, but a conscientious regard
to the good of the country. r
It is obvious. gentlemen, that at the present roc.
rfient the tendency of opinioreCmong those' to be
represented in, the Convention is generally - dnd
strongly set in another direction. r think it nay
duty, therefore, under existing circumstances, to
request . those, who may feel a preference for isle,
not to indulge in that preference, nor oppoie drip
obstacle to the leading wishes of political friends,
or to united and cordial efforts for the accouiplish
ment of those wishes.
The election of the nest autumn must involve,
in general, the same principles, and the same cids
tions, tt,e belonged to that of 1840. The cause, I
conceive, to be the true cause of the country, ite
perinanent prosperity, and all its great interests;
the cause of its peace, and its honor; the cause of
good government, true liberty, and the preSeq•a
tion and integrity of the Consiitution, and none
should despair of its success. •

Great was the outcry raised against the last

Most- ; unjustly and unrightehusly, to never. was

EAR AND TEAR OF RAIL ROAD IRON,
r, In consequence of some recent publications by
C. Ellet, Jr., Civil Engineer, on tlie coat or
t ' ransportation on rail. roads, the subject, of the
Wear of rail road iron has excited some.intercst
and enquiry, and aspirited controversy has sprung
hetween the advocates of canals versus raif=
roads has again been warmly discussed. With
this 'branch of the controversy I shall not at present
meddle—lit. leave the champions to fight it out
emong themselves.,
To no district of the country is, the subject of
the Wear of mil road iron of greater importance
than to this; for Wbatmjer may be the fate of the

arc to be IMd, for the great bulkof the large ton'-
page of the Schuylkill Navigation and the Read'•
ins railroad, to which Mr. Ellet so frequently al,
iudes, must first be rolled over - our railroads. -
The result at which hlr. Eliot arrives is that
ihe common two, inch by ball inch flat bar laid on
{wood will be worn out by the passage over it cif
i 50,000 tons of freight drawn by locomotives,and
; ,
of 400,000 tons drawn by. horse power; and that
;he common T rail will worn out with soma
thing less freight passing over it in proportion . to
the weight, and therefore the cost of it. The plain
ference from which is that the •fiat bar would be
the cheapest;
'After observing that the rails of the Reading

a second track of GO pounds to the yarcl,l am Of.
opinion that the transportation of twenty milliabs i
of tons will not wear out the rails and render new
iron necessary." '
Now although we may consider this latter cat.
culation rather a wild one, yet there is evidently a.
great discrepancy betw'een the theoretical deduc
tions of Mr. 'Viet and the experience of the rOad .
The latter seems like many other rebellious sab:
jects, determined not to obey the laws which have
been so benevolently, laid down for \ it. Now
'whether the road will ultimately have to Conform
to the law, or the law to the road, certain it is tbat
iron will wear out in the course of , time, and it
becomes an important enquiry to us, how scion
will that time come, or rather, in what form, and
shall we have the iron that it may afford the great
est wear for the money expended 1 ' ' I
There is one important error common to !all
those - who have treated on the subject; so far i ng I
hate mad their 'works, and thatja, they have paid
to little attention to ascertaining whether theybad
and the iron on it is Propintiorked to the duty
Tro
quired of it ; for if it is not, it is in vain to expectit
to be durable, and equally vain to . attemPt tole's
' tablish any laws for the wear of iron predicated
on the experience derived from such ill contriVed
affairs. ' - ,
' I A I
This may be illnstrated by the experience of thi..:
place; when we, first began to open coal klrifts,
rsit.roai iron was not 'easily prozareal, an d re s o d
was sometimes had W r ite use of hoop iron, sitch
:--.
as is used„ for pooping casks, for our drift roads.
While we worked with quarter ton waggens,pov
ed - in and out by men, this answered very sell,
or at least better than pushing thern on .wood; but
when Larger waggons' were introduced, this iron
wore out anddisappeared rapidly. When after
wards.rail road iron could be obtained, a bar one
inch by a quarter of an inch was used—this ',did
very Well for half ton waggons, but as soon aa'we
put ton waggons CID with horse power, it iliSap

Might have stopped and said,' iron was notthe,
thing it bad been Cracked up to be, r and then set to
work to 'discover the laws of its rapid destruction;
but our 'operators took 'a more common sense view
of 'the matter; 'they believed that .they had 'trot

" Anthrax" was to administer a well merited it
buke for the indelicate andlunceremonious intr
dUctierit of the statue of a gentleman, with whom
was siire he had no personal acquaintance, into 01
columns'of a newspaper; and to reprove , that is
position for meddling in the:discussion ofprachea
questiOns which he has not studied, and which
frequently are not within the range of his obaer
vation• and experience: : 'I; '
penlanse also to make an inaccurate and un

•
tillable comparisOn of the respective merits of the
Reading and Stoekton'and,;Darlington Raiiwas ;
with the'esign, apparently of adding the weight of
his influence as P writer in the extension of at er
ror which had Proiously:;been circulated with
great industry by the adherents_ of the Rea ing
Railrqad Company.
Regarding his ;remarks as very innocent in de
sign, lie affects ;astonishment that they shuld
have balled for such pro:riper:nil decided refutation.
Thaeithey were innoxious is most 'certain; certain; blt I
cannot recognise anything as: innocent, whatev
er may be the intention, of which the effectto
encourage and prolong a pUbile delusion. \•,

I have no timato follow 'Anthrax through his
special pleading - , 'or discuss ingenious colln eral_ .
i..suesrand new, propositiona. The Reading 'ail- i
road Company, •may ; no* commence. pre ing.
through his aid, that they can carry coal at $ -50
per tqn,•instead of 40 cents; if they think that heir
interest will be Promoted by moderating their pre
.tensions. I hive nothing ter do with these specu
!afire-estimates ; my present business is with facts ;
iziul facts only. , I have therefore !list to_tr3i the.
issue :which now; exists between Anthrax and (my
self, in regard to the lengthand cost of the Stock
ton and Darlington Railroad, the charges exifcted:
and the speed maintained Upon it. I havet-,
Mp u
ten touch en such subjects I hare never wri b-.
fished a line which I did nut believe, to be strictly,'
true in word and sense,, and I' shall {not now, lover;
an anonymous title, depart from the rule o' my 1
life; ,; ' ; I • . :.• .
...;
-
First then, what is the lend:, and what the cost;
of the Stockton and Darlington Road!
f
The fe'iowing. quotations are from Wishaw's'
'Work "on the Railways of Great Britain," pith-,
fished in 1840. ;The factswhich he presents weroi
obtained by him; during his tour, from S. Derniird,';
Esq.; an officer Of the Stockton and Darlington;
Company.. I qiiote, in evidenr.enf the correctness
of my assertions the folloWing,passames:
"The capital us shares is altogethlr - .4 1.59,000
and the whole amount raised by loan .£100,d 1 00.",
On this authority I stated the cost of the work tol
be, in round numbers, $1,200,000. Anthrax ,old-'
ly charges me with error,:with stating 'not one
wont of truth,' and puts the cost at. $4,700,000.
The 'author preceeds to describe the line, and the
length of its brandies, remarking in etineldsion,
' Thus; the aggregate - length of the main Frzi
and tbranch'ea Li 38,129-1000 oaks.' Witaw,
p. 414.. 1 . • ;
This is in conformity with my previous state.;
mono; and this' is my authority for what I stated.
Thef4cta aro confirmed by the sth and 6th % J ot. of
the Itailway'Makarine, and by other writers. I
Tile Stockton and Darlington - Road is pruilent i
ly and economically managed ; and the coal cars
do not pasit'ove. the mainline, and then cireulate
through all the branches, as intimated by Anthrax,
for the purpose bf reducing the apparent charge
per mile, but pass directl,v from the mines tip the
wharves where the coal is shipped. •
The length .of the line and its branehes l is 38
miles, but the coal passes ever en average distance
of only 25 or 26 miles. ; .
The Charter! of the Company originally Ft mite(
the Charge for 'railwaY.du'es at half a penny (one
cent) per ton per mile onall coals which hall be
.
ilt s
shipped on bOard any vessel in the po of Stock: ton-upon-Tees. forthe purpose.of ex ortatitnt.'—' 7
Thei.land sale coals,' as !they, arc called—ithosi
not intended for exiiortatiou—not being subjt tO
this, limitation, by the act bf incorporation, nr nose
charged the company; according to Wi haw,
t
2}d; or four. and alzalf cents per loss per mif
Mercharullse; of which; there' passes throw
lineinix trains ,a day, or about six - times as
as Passes over the Reading road—is charged cart
ous!priccs, ranging from !six cents to nine cents
per; ton per mite. It is only under the limi.atioh
of the Charter that a low price is adopted "on neer
tain class of coals. Now, it is particularly to .be
noted that the 'above ch rges on coal are fo 'rail
way, dues' only, and that the company makb still
1
andther charge! of half aenny (or one cent). per
tonper mile fort,thaulage. . .•
Inaddition to this, the colliers own rind k ep in
13.1 p
repair the cars; the expe se of 'upholding' which
is notincloded in these ms. And further 4 there
is an additional charge- bffour cents per eon for
thense of the wharves at Stockton and Mid leshO.
rough no, art Ofwhieh goes towards the sh ppirig_
i
of the coal.' I Conchived,l therefore, that a charge
of four and a half cents, was a correct representa
tion of the average charge on this line—thotigh
that average would obviously be muclrhighlr, but
for:;the restrictions imposed by the charter.
Finally, it is! stated by - .lWishaw, p. 422, tat 'the
coal engines are limited in 'velocity tosix miles
per hour; and if the engine mon are found driving
at 'a - velocity exceeding eight miles, they are inea
riably
fined.' 1 It is 'owing to this rigid lindtatien
of the speed that the company have destro3lcd but
si tracks of edge rails, in bringing down less than,
7,000,000 tons of coal. I I
`'Having nevi' disposed of the disputed points, Wo
will repeat our comparison of the racti, for faets
are truths, and see what ',there is in the success of
one of these roads to justify its quotation evi
dence of the probable success of the other.
It was stated by Do Pambour, a distinr
ishbd
water, who spent much time on this work, that the
i company after! nine years' experience, estimate the
expenses of hanlage by locomotive engines, 'at 1 ,1 ,
(two cents)Thr ton of coals ckried t"; one milcin

Whether he. thinks they make all this money ihy

iWhy were the accounts of the month or De-,
eember suphressed7 The want of no time is no
available eicuse. The Schuylkill Navigation Di
reetors met! their stockholders, on the morning of
Oat Ist :of Jetmary; and their .report of all expen
ses' and receipts, of all the affairs of the Company,
uP to the MOW of the 31 December, was full,
Salisfactoryand perfect. The 'Reading Railroad

cchaber: The stockholders—fifteen of thent_only
—"came liag , tiler op the 9M of .faquary, when
an eleven month's report was presented to them
for their adOinton. Now, why did it require forty
ildys for the preparation of that document? And
isiit not a feet . that this report was' talks. printed
before it colild be.fairly adjustel for the inspection
of the public eye? ;
: , ...Again, Mr. Anthrax. I reminded

form a preity certain conjecture of the motive, if
the motive be not satisfactorily -explained.
I reipiest:you to follow inc a little further.
i I find. by the eleven month's report, that during
the last yepx the Company purchased twelve loco
motive engines and 450 coat cars; and that they
had-laid ten additional miles of single track, see.

be one nrifC, and made some slight, improvements
at the . Richmond wharves. I find also that. du
ring -this period, they expended the sum of $221,-
000 for repairs and transportation. By clo , :ing
the a.ecOunts onthe 30th November, they reduced
the, apparent interest to probably less than
$200,000.1; - . - . • •
