":..,., Our attention was next directed to the propriety of giving some expression of opinion as to the route whicliwe thought the Charleston and Cincinnati Rail Road should take, through the State. Our opinion was soon made up upon this subject, after a statement from a member of our body that some of the stockholders of that company were anxious to locate the road west of the Blue Ridge, a location, which if made, would deprive us of any partici pation in the advantage of said road. Your committee therefore, believing that we had the right to participate in the advantage of said work, have di rected me to report a resolution recom mending to your body the appointment of a committee to memorialize the Le gislature upon tliis subject and to u se suchjueans as will be most likely to make us participants in that stupend ous work. ; ' v -; r ': "" In conclusion,' your committee Will indulge the hope, a hope founded upon , their knowledge of the character of the members composing your body, that sectional feelings will be sacrificed up o the altar of the public good: that up on the propositions reported by them. as well as upon all others that roar be I, !.

Let me bring Mr. Van Buren into Court . " . ; . , - . During tlie canvass preceding tke e lection of 1824, there were four can didates in the field, namely Gen. Jack son, Mr. Adams, Mr. Crawford, and Mr. Clay s-AJ I f these gentlemen stood before the people upon their own 'merits,- except Mr, Crawford, who was brought out, under tlie imposing sane tion of a Congressional caucus at Wash iogton, the prime mover of which was Martin Van Buren. .The people fail ed to elect their President, and Gen. Jackson entered the House of Repre sentatives, backed by 93 electoral votes, Mr. Adams by 88, and Mr. Crawford by 53, Mr, Cla being ex cluded. The House, voting by States, conferred the Presidency on Mr, Ad ams, in derogation, as it was strongly iot4idr-.f the-4perif; right of Gen eral Jackson, Mr. Van, Huren vehe-mently - J . .J- V.y.MUII Ul ,,.

The point which puzzles me is, how so many freemen s spresd over so wide a space, proud of that equality which they had bren taught to regard as their inestimable birth-right, could be approached, with : tlie immoral and debasing proposal to ' ' sieze upon the offices, the power and the money of the State, and, by con-' fining the distribution of the plunder to their own body, virtually ; exclude eveiy other freeman from those cove, nanted privileges, for th fniini.. of which his fathers fought and aa as well as their own. And when thus approached, how , could they be thus persuaded, corrupted, and case-hard ened against all the natural suestions of conscience, patriotism atnl honor? xui me worst aspect ot the case was the open, the avowed, the shame ful effrontery with vliich they proclaim ed their turpitude. The contest was one, which, in the firm belief of the great mass of the American PenlQ. involved "pri . and jupnn the triumph of which was to depeml the purity, if not the very aicuceoi our mosi .cnfmiieit jntUu. f tions.
