since, Mr.. Whitney, the protector Of the great
Western Rail Road, called on Mr.. Webstor to know
if he was favorable to the project. "Now-
"Wby ~ "Because will not support any means
of improving the intercourse with the country west
of the Rocky Mountains. All that country must
become n separate and distinct union; and f,r that
object, will oppose this railroad with all my in.
fuence !--Ncw York Morning Ners.


We regard this nnecdo,e as important, not as
bearing on the question of railroads, but Of Oregon.
Is it true that Mr.. Webster Tone of the Wing
champions of the Senate) is in favor Of erecting
distinct republic on the Shores Of ID" '-~'>
Then does he not share the American ,hu.
he adopts tho policy of England and of
Mr.. Guizot is for trimming the balancr -wer'
in America. Mr.. Webster appears to fall into
similar policy. Great Britain was in favor Of
establishing IN independent government in Texas.
The London Times enforced it with all its power.
|, was for establishing another republic on our
borders, for the purpose of balancing the weight
and of cornteracng the influence Of the U. States.
For the same reason too, many Of the English
politicians are anxious to cut us of from Oregon.
as well as from California, and, indeed, 10 cripple
US in oil directions. Such, we apprebend, is the
spiri, of Mr.. Webster himself. II he has mads
this declaration 10 Mr.. Whitney, he i: cutting US
adriit from Oregon, aid inviting her people to
erect ,haticountry into nn ndepenjentsrePubc.
How different is this feeling from the sentiment
ascribed 10 General Jackson: "No compromise
(of Oregon) but at the cannons mouth !"-- Wash.
ingior Union.

By Mr.. McAdam, who went up 10 Albany on
Saturday. with petitions for the lives Of the doomed
men Of Delaware, we have advlces which justify
the strongest hopes that tei sentence will bo COM
muted. We could give reasons for this hope bu;
deem i; better no. to do so, at present. We conf.
IDENTIFY expect official notice Of commu,aton before
the close of this week.
