I' the expl iintions which hat? been oITt-r-td

M. Fiiin'ston is riht-in tin-Kits that
our objections to the message oi the Pre
sidcut are eonfined to these two points:
It The mcssaee impeaches the good
faith of His Majetty Uorrnmew.
ii. It contain a thrt-at to secure the
execnriin of t!ie treaty, by the ferf of
reprisals.
It i indeed under this double point of
vivr that ihe message of PnsideHt J .
son excited in I'ranee the greatest in
ttignation. The Cabinet of Vashin?iou
will readiiv admit that if I'.e aliecatiou
was real, the indignation would bt? jul
Xo nation eoti'J f-r one moment In-ar,
wiiiiout dc;ra Jinjj t'self. either iht direct
or indirect imputation of the want of jmtd
faiih. or the idea of another ?v eminent,
or another people, endearorini lo obtain
ihri!:ih menace what could only be grant
ed by it to justice. It must equally be
admitted that when lUi impression pro
duced by the appearance f d-tcumem
is general, wi.cu that impression is f--h
not oulv by the whole nation whom the
document concerns, but een by foreign
ersby disinterested people by jeron
the least disposed to take a pari in the
contest the rery universaloy of that
impression is a sufficient evidence agaia-1
the general tenor of t!i document.
If we cimitne in detail ihe message of
the President of the FniteJ St't. I
mean that part of it whioli concerns the
relation between ih F.aiud Suu s a id
France) it will pn-stbly hv' uv. i. th..t

such a fun true in itif. r the assertion
of su-li or such a n ,ht which ho one
contests, or the performance of such or
such an oblijitioii impo-ed on the Pre
sitlent by the very nature of his functions.
There will certainly be found aeieral in
which the idea of impeaching the g'md
faith of the Frenrh government, or of act
ing upon it through menace or intimida
tion, is more or les disavowed.
Yet, when the whole succession ol
lacts is taken tnio vn ww'aen we per
ceive the care win- h seems to h ive hppi
taken to .r tr. tbe-u in an unfavorable
I'ht, withiM.t uiiWi.--' a!!oT-mej for cir-ctinis'.anct-s
wLi'-li -t -iawi then, without
payint; any renard to considerations
which the government of United Suites
its-lfhal previously admried; when we
see at the end of this uninterrupted se
ries f :i!ieaU'tis, which have the ap
pearance of wrong lor the ole reason
they are made to ret on isolated and in

proposiiioti the ( vrt-me propoitHn to

first apeei n is even liiilieolt alter re
flection, to escape me thoujht, thai all
that part of the mf'zs had been wrtten

cannot see how he could find ai.y linii
culty in declaring it.
Is such a declaration realiv cmjtuin -i!
in M. Livingston's note, addressed to the
French goveruineiit on ihe 2'Jth Janua
ry, or in that which the same minister
left at his departure, on the 27th Apul?
We would be equally at a loss, to af
firm or deny it; and lot this reason it is
evident that neither the one nor the other
can be considered si.fliaeiit. The note
of the U'bti of January is intended to th-,-cuss
contradictorily witli the French
fi-ivernnieiit, the correctness of facts an-
j scried in the message of President Jack

i taken by hiia of those ficts, is at lea-t
plausible. 'It U in the midst of this long

Permit me.

ol" your paper, to oiler a (lan br the lo
cation of this road through Cast Tenm s
s.s. North -and South Carolina, and as
sin oieh reasons as in my npinion
-hotial induce tie stockholders tn adopt
my plan. First, then. I will by down
the riittte, with a detail of its advantages;
and finally contrast its probable cost with
other routes th;t have been s;oken of. It
:s contemplated that the road shall enter
Tennessee, passing it or near Mean's ta
'i .-i, t-iVe thence the best route from that
t the North Carolina line; my plan is.
ihal the road should take the he-t and
nearest route to llie Watauga Valley;
tins would lead near f Ireensvilk-, Junes
horouub lo Kliabethtown. tbr-net eouti
tiitin n; that valley lo tits- foot ol the
Ir :i Mountain on th road to 'he bepp
(i-.ru where they will de-end 'in: l'.loe

Niite villi- -itid rhiflotte, thenep to the
Sooth b irolina hue. cross the Catawba
near the Old Nation Ford. pj through
Y'ork. Chester and Fairfield lo Columbia.
Now the indiK-einents to this mule are
llie facilities which the fo e of the coun
trv and its productions offer for the eon
Mruclion of the ro nl, the iiimi' rise ininnnt
of tirodure which would find lis wav lo
i
market on t!o- mad from that country,
if it were mi loeati-o; and the suhncnj
Hon that could he obtained in Tennessee
and North Carolina n that cae would
form an item no' to he disregarded.
From the tune that tin- road reached
tin- viilev of the W a m i no ili.listilties
n its construction would be encountered
until it came t the foot of the Stone
Mi.ioit mi. It is stt ui :e, but not the
b-ss true. th:u front the nme you enter

Ahe county in North Carolina, in which
a part of the iron region lies, would also
benefit from the same s,ource, opi-niii to
them new avenues of profit and Iresh mo
tives of enterprise and industry. Wilkei
county is throughout a emu growing
and provision country, and would in the
course of the season send lnre qu intt
lius of produce to Soulh Carolina, w here
they would always find a fair market.
At this time they have no mode of car
rying off large quantities of surplus pro
duce; hence lliere is little inducement to
make more than they use. Almost lbs
same ntav be. said of Iredell county; it is
