The language of the President is so eignifisant, that we 41l especial noel, . Lion to it by quoting It in this place. Ile Rtlyi : ','Let every people choose for itself, and make and alter its politldal institutions to suit its min condition and convenience. But, white we arow and maintain this 'neutral policy ourselves, we are anxious to ace the same forbearance on the pot of t iher rations, whose forms of govern -' Meat urb different from our own.

There is a remarkable similarity to the eon *slant of this paragraph with the language of Kossuth, when !Peaking of the duty of England and. the tfoited States towards sister rtataons Euetpe which are struggling for independence • lie thinks that the great cause of human liberty 'odor human brotherhood, should induce Eng landand America to insist upon a policy of etrict non-intervention, by all t he powers of .Europe t illaC4oo of revolution for independence, •r or for reforms in Oovemment, between any two nations, or between any people and their pros ' ant rotors.

If a large majority of the people are not in favor of the revolution it will -not succeed. ` If they are, they should be per teittad to ;decide their own political destiny. The language : of the President, above quoted, la very. eignificant, and sufficiently direct and siring for the present emergency.

Its eulogy of the "great Christian Empire" of Austria in in perfect keeping With Its gross and open slander upon the Hungarians, and its covert stab at American republicanism. The Arcbbieuop and his organ have defined their position—the clo ven foot is fully exhibited—we know where they are; but we cannot believe that the great body of American Catholics are prepared to endorse such sentiments. It is false that Kossuth and his associates In Hungary did, or attempted to do, what is here attributed to them; and it is equally untrue that red republicanism, as we understand the word, exerts any influence upon American politics of any party. If love of freedom, and sympathy for the oppressed; if hatred of tyranny, as It DOW exists and is acted out in Austria, Naples, and Rome, is red republiosniam, then are we all red republicans, and the Archbishop will find that he has only excited the hatred of free. men, and caused himself, and those who hold with him, to stink in the nostrils of the Ameri can People, by the utterance of such sentiments as the above, ALLEGREri VALLEY RAILROAD A meeting was held in Kittanning last week, at which over three hundred and seventy shares of the stock of this road were subscribed, to which more can and will be added. This amount is more than ten-dollars for every man, woman ; and child In that town, and considerably en ceeds,itt proportion to the population,all that the people of these cities have yet done for all the roads terminating here. Kittanning has done pretty well for a little town on the nue of the road, but not more than D. ought; for it will be greatly benetittad by its construction, probably to an amonntrauch greater than its present sub senption Bill Pittsburgh, es one of the termi ni of the road, the head quarters of its oera tions, thogreat sourest of its supplleA, the mart for a large portion of its business, and the collect ing and distributing point of all its tend. and travel, will be benefited in a for greater ratio Does it not follow, then, that Pittsburgh ought to . cootribute proportionably more than any oth er place ou the Hue towards its euestruction We think this will not be denied. But what are the facts so far? After the people of Pittsburgh'. shall have subscribed the two thousand shares necessary to secure the charter, they will only have doneabout one-fourth as much in proportion to their newborns the people of Kittanning. We gay nothing shoat relative wealth; but we sup• pose it will not he pratontled that Kittanning is relatively more able to tabs stook then pinc her& • But take another view. After the stock shall have been subscribed, the first instalment of 5 per cent paid in, end the company organised, the work will be put under contract, and pushed for. ward with energy. A great number of men will be employed upon it, nearly alt the sapplie,o for whom, both implements and provisions, will be drawn Prom this place. Why, If Pittsburgh were to subscribe fire thousand shares, it would be more than reimbursed in this increased trade before the road cap be completed; and when completed, the outlet which it will afford to her manufactures and 2rovisioss will probably do as much to increase her business as any role's' that terminates here. There are two dangers menacing this enter prise, or rather we should say, the iutereats of this city, which ore little thought at. Those who read the late ropact of the Central Railroad Company will remember that It .92441: of - a branch road extending from Blai to the town of Indiana. We knew that there was such a project, but ilia not think it was likely to came to much. We hare recently ascertained, however, that the ctoel is nearly all taken, and that it will soon be made. nut that is not all. The Lord step is to extend the toad northrerd. ky (rum ladisas to the nab oiling. and down that stream to the Allegheny river. Now what will be the effect of eli that! The Hemp!!leld route extends from Whetting to within a few tulles of Blairsville. Blairsville is but a Niles from In' thank sad Indiana is within 20 miles et Idaho- Ding. Thus we see that a man could be on the hfahoning from %Beeline, by that route, ici less time than he could react . Bittsbugh in a steam. bast. We tell the people of this city, that an leas they arouse from their lethargy they will very soon find themselves stranded high and dry. We have, it is true, the shortest and best route by whlch to reach the valley of the Alle gheny, sad, through it, Western Now York; but what good will that do UE, unless we avail our- selves of it! We have let the New Yorkere get rotted us on one aid*, and the Beldam:eat= will loon Le round as on the other, end now, by the Bempflold and the Blairsville and indi ami roads, we are likely to lose a part even of the valley of the Allegheny. Pittsburgh bay lost enormously by her slowness. But there is another danger more immediate. We have an excellent nor of AsJembly for a road from thin city to the New York State line, near Olean, tr any place that suite as; but remember, it in only an act of Assembly, which may be re pealed ati easily as it was enacted, Cud in all probability, will be, =dens we secure the Mor t, before the meeting of the Legislature. We do not speak unadrleedly when we say this. By the terms of the law, this road will be for ever free from taxation, and in everything, it is as favorable as could be desired. Let us lose it in the way we have indicated, and it will be in vain to ask for another one like it. There are many and powerful interests In Pennsylvania inimical to it; eo look out. There is yet a month in which to fill up the stock, Cud secure the charter; and short as the time is, we feel satisfied that our citizens will come forward and mato 411 secure. Hor. Johnston is in town, making arrange ments to take up his residence amongst us, when his term of office shall expire. He will then be ready to enternpon his duties as Pre!. ident of this Company, and if any man can make It go, he can. Tin Pai2SIDIM—Th: emitting year will be one of exciting interest in•politics. The Pres idential contest will be swarm one, and although the State elections this fall have gone with few exceptions, adversely to the Whigs, wo look for ward confidently to success next November. This year the vote In nearly all the States has been very light, and' the Whig strength bas not been brought to the polls, or if brought, in too many instances it has been divided and weaken-• ed, by causes that will not exist in the National contest. In a fitw months the National Whig Convention will be held, and candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pietidoncy will be present- ed by the united Whig party of the UlllOll.

The democrats-hold their conireasion al caucus In the Representatives' hall .at eight o'clock. It seems that brethren of all shades and stripes are going in, Preston King, of New York, Burt, of South Carolina, Grow, of Pennsylvania, and Towashend of Ohio are rushing to a close embrace. The hither and the nether swing of political factionlem will Hap in unison there to gether. But the anti Hankers of *Ze and the other extreme of opinion will muster in such force, it is supposed, as to present a most formi dable check to the contemplated plan of pro ceeding by stringent compromise resolutions, which, rightly interpreted, mean sheer and out right proscription of all manliness and inde pendence. I have not yet learned how the whigs propose to act. It seems to be the opinion of many that as they are in a hopeless minority, It will be bettor to.hold no caucus. That, upon reflec tion, is my own opinion. Between tho candi dates propotted by their adversaries they can have no particular choice, and to call a conven tion for the interchange of opinioM into which the insolent renegades, whose treachery defeat ed the project of Whig organization at the open mg or the but Congress, should intrude, would but renew old controvernisa, and weaken the in tegrity of the party. It is certainly better to forbear, us far as possible, any concert of ac tion, until such persons as the Toombs, Cabello and Clingmansahall have settled themselves In to such party affinities as they are probably intending. That they will never again belong to the Whig party, except to betray it, I oonsid. er quite manifest.

That was properly the work of the Hatioscal Convention, which would meet at Baltimore next May, and he was in favor of leaving it en tirely to the action of that body.

At this unto ward and unexpected result, the recolutiotdsla, Polk, Johnson, and their followers precipi- I lately left the banding, probably thinking like the man who wse left maimed and bruised by the way side, that they had fallen into very bed 1 company, and only anxious to get out of it as quickly as possible. The secession of the Se- I ceders wee soon followed by the adjournment of , the caucus. I consider it now pealed that the regular Democrats will hays it all their own way.
