people the little agency they have remain- ing in the choice of President. This combination of Members of Congress is going to do the very thing which they inl- puted to MT. Clay--they mean to take the election of President into their own hands, and cheat the people with nomin- al instrumentality. And who are the men who compose the combination Men who are seeking office-one is to be Secretary of State, another of War-another of the Navy-another of the Treasury-This one is to go Minister to England-that one to France.-This expectation of office-this hope of preference from Gen. Jackson, flattered by his confidential friends-tAis is the cement which binds together hetero- geneous mass called the opposition.-This IS the principle of those "combinations which are nearly completed to elect Gen. Jackson" This is at the bottom of all the sentimental patriotism so abundantly uttered by the tongue!-Rich. Whig. A SOW belonging to Mr.P Preserved Bart lett, of Northampton Mass, had 35 pigs 6 litters) in 13 months. Nineteen of these were butchered in January last and sold for $299, 50.

 Great Rail Road.-The Legislature of Maryland have incorporated company under the title of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, with capital of $3 ,OOO,OOO, to construct a rail road from Baltimore to the Ohio-a distance in the shortest line of about $50 miles. The Corporation of Baltimore are expected to subscribe for half million of the stock one branch of the City Council having al- ready passed a res olution, which will, it is said, have the confirmation of the other branch, authorizing such subscription. The State reserves to itself the right to subscribe million of dollars.

 The Legislature of Virginia have con- frmcd this act of Maryland, so far as it is to take effect within the limits of Virginia, stipulating only, that the rail road shall not strike the Ohio below the Little kenha- wa, and that no lateral roads shall be con- structed in Virginia without the consent of the Legislature. Iti expected that Penn sylvania also, will as far as the contempla- ted road may trench upon her southern boundary, ratify the act of Maryland.

 This is cerainly very magnificent pro- ject; perhaps feasible within the amount of capital named. We say, however, per- haps-for nature has intcrposed between the Atlantic and western waters, the great range of the Alleghany mountains-which are to be travcrsed, or penetrated, by this rail road.

 The Baltimore papers cxult much, as if it can be carried into execution-they just ly may, at the prospects of benefit to their city from this undertaking. We wish their utmost hopes may be roalised-satis6ed that it will, like all other such schemes, when wisely planned and executed, con- duce to the general good.-N. Y. Amer.
