~: In constructing this road am--exPnsive item is
— . l the tunnel through the Broad mo t untain, it being
'.thirty-seven hundred fiNt in length,and about four
a llundred feet below :the top of tile mountain at
~that place, which is the only p..i tcwithin many
; piles, either East or West where' a tunnel of so
,short n lehilh could he excavated througli the
: Mpuntitin at that level. ;By constructing the tun
' ;Ad at this.point, it will reduce the suratnit eleva
pi:ion one hundred and seventythr O- feet less than
,that of the Danville and Pottsvil e Railroad ; the
• cost of its construction will therefore he amply
,repaid in the advantage derived from this reduc 7
tion, it being about tw i enty per cent, of the whole
elevatiti,Tonrequ,cully it will reduce the expenses
of transportation in nearly the Same. ration; and
without taking into consideration this item of
,reductiop upon • transportation, the cost of con ?
,atricting the road saved by the reiuction of elcVa-
tieh will be more than equivulelit to the whole
cost of the tunnel. By the present proposed glades
it will require viz and sixty-nine hundredths miles
' of. road to overcome a summit elevation of 173
feet:-viz. 4 23-100 miles at a grade ii forty feet
• per mile to surmount the elevation (173 feet) and
'2 37.100 mild at a grade of 731 fret per mile, to
descend to the' same level, which to estimate at
$6,000 per mile for graduation and $16,000 per
mile for two iron roads, 'amount to $22 000 per
mile, or $147,180, the cost:of 6;63-100 miles of

with the greatest enthusiasm :1 •
'Great. Brilia ~ t and the United States.—Lct
!them show bitheir example. that no controversy
,can exist among enlightened nations, which can
not bo amicably a nd honorably adjusted.'
We are glad to see such evidences as the above
of the kindly feeling which is growing between the
'people of Englar d and the United States. The
time has almost come when the afferent nations
shall have ceased to look upon each other as ene
mies, when Frenchmen will no longer curse John
Bull, or Englishmen damn the Yankees. Civil
ized nations aro ieginning to sea the folly of in
volving themselves in war with, each other, for ter
ritorial extension, or on account of hereditary
•
hate.
There is really no occasion for war between
England and America. There is no point ot Na
tional honor at stake . betvreen them; neither cowl- •
try has wronged the other, and it would seem to '
the
,whole world a very ridiculous thing for the
two greatest nations on the globe to fight about a
small portion or barren territory, which ilt present
can be of no value to either. Besides the feelings
of the people are against a, war. Men,no longer,
love to kill each other. The effects of Christianity
aro felt among all civilized nations, and the peace-
ful precepts of the Bade have taken deep root in 1
the hearts of the mass. Reckless partizans, men
who care for nothing, so that their ends are accom
plished, who disregard'alitte the commands of Geld:
and' he welfare lof their fellow eitizensi such men i
still advocate war. The object of those who are I
now raising the war cry in our midst is verrevi
dent. The administration is,weak, not as regards •
the number of its supporters at the Capitol, but its
hold'upon-the affections of the people is 'weak,
and to strengthen itself it w 4 spare no efforts.- 7
The signs of the times indicate ii renomination, of
Mr. Polk, and his adherents,
,hope, by this Wa i r
-movement, by the cries of "Uphold our National
Honor," "Down' with, England," "Let no Foreign .
Government hold a foot of American soil," toe .
Cite the people to support the President and his
MeaZUTCI3. But the people are not prepared to
swallow every pill that the adrninistration may
wish to pour down their, throats. (Texas was bad
enough, hut a war about Oregon they will not
agree to. 1
About two years ago, Hon. IL D. Owen of . In-
Iliana held the following; language in the House
RepresentativeS. "dregon is our land of promise,
Oregon is our land of destination. Two thousand
American emigrants are already indwellers oflher

It was some minutes before he could obtain a hear

niiks front the united Statei and twice (1.4 'matey

probably within the knowledge of many now pres

Mr. Webster alluded to the seperate:organiza

parties. The former had Noted against ue at the
last election, and by adhering to Mr.
,Birnoy; had
elected Mr. Polk, and secured the annexation of
Texas, which they 'professed to deprecate. The
latter were bone of our bone, and flesh of our
flesh; he asked what they expected to accomplish;
they cannot elect their members of Congress, and
he asked if they- wanted to accomplish any thing
that he had not striven to _accomplish, lif they
would go further than he in the cherished object
of protecting America, and Native American rights,

in the crowd said, Good Native, Daniel.) Mr:
