THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC R. ROAD.
No. II.
The first and second proposition* of having the
tei minus of the Road at Crosa Plains or Red Clay,
were advocated on the grounds that they would
cost much less and save the State the expence of
building the Road to tho Tennessee 5 and yot glvo
her, through the Hiwosseo and the Gunter'* Land*
ing Roads, the facility of trading with both East
and West Tennessee, also to the Great West, and
that without encountering the obstacles to the navi-
gallon of the Tennessee; and becauro tho funds in
hand would serve to complete the Rond nnd set tho
cars in motion to Cross Plains } while if these
funds w ere expended in grading to Ros*’ Landing,
tho State might, under thu present embarrassed
condition of tho monetary world nnd of her own
affairs, find it difficult to provide mean* to com*
plcto any portion of tho Road far service. Those
propositions were rejected, because the contractors
offered to grade tho Road to Ross' Landing for
State scrip, which removed, in some degree, the
question as to tneiins t nnd because our Road, in its
communication with the West, would bo dependent
opon those Roads, would have to await thnir com
pletion and then be subject to thoir disorders, and
tho interests and whims of their managers nnd ow*
; ners. and becauso Georgia might, through her own
work, placu Charleston and Mobile in competition
with her own seaport. These propositions were
considered ns advocated principally by those inte
rested in the Alabama and Highwassee Roads, by
the Charlestonians, and probably by soma Chore-
keenns, who may have hoped that tho*o road*
would not bo finished, *o a* to bring tho Western
productions into 1 competition with the productions
of their country—and probably by some others, who
may have wished to make a largo city of Rome.
The Alabamians desired the success of those pro
position^ because they would glvo Mobile an ensl
er connection with Tennessee, nnd possibly with
North Carolina and Virginia, and probably bring
. to their assistance tho aid of Georgia, to iculo tho
.Sand Mountains. The Stockholders of the Hlwai*
see Road and tl.e Charlestonians are intimately as*
aociated in the Drench of tho Cincinnati Rail Road
Bank at Knoxvilte, and they propose extonding
this Road te Cincinnati—thu* would be built the
Great Charleston nnd Cincinnati Rail Rond. The
completion of this .project wouliT verify the predlc
lions made years ago, viss that Charleston s plan
wa* to make use of the Georgia Road in her pas
sage to tho West, and that she was pressing the
object of the Charleston nnd Cincinnati Rond,
merely with the view to obtain from tho Western
Slates charters for Branches to her groat Bunk, well
knowing thnt money maket the mare go, and thus
ahe would ride over Georgia and aheaJ of Savan
nah. It I* the interest of ihore roads to unito with
the Western and Atlnntlc Rail Road, nnd no doubt
4hey will be united with it, ns soon ns their respec
tive Stockoldcrt nnd Stole* enn supply the means
to build the junctions. Tho Highwassee Road is
already traded to the Georgia line, within 15 or 18
•miles of Cross Plains—the timber for tho super
structure is snid to be prepared, nnd the Stockhol
ders have the right Trent Georgia to run their Rond
.to Cross Plains. The Leglslo'ure of Georgia havo
also granted a Charter for n Drench Rond to Rome;
so that these plans may yet be carried out by Com,
panics, urid will mo»t certainly be, in time, sinco
the additional cost from tho nature of tho ground
for both routes cannot bo otherwise than smull.

From the N. York, Evening Pott Oct. 3.
"A Democrat Dyed.lti the Wool," was the ox*
prcsslon matin use of by a distinguished eastern
politician of the federal schuol, in ridictilo of some
of his brethren who had given thnir support to
General Jackson.—When Mr. Webster uttered
til's sneer, he probably did not think that he should
11vo to become a democrat. Ho could not havo
had in his mind tho stotyoi tho chimneysweep,
whosuwhisboy grinning at tho great trngodian
Garrick, and told him to stop his fun, for ho did not
know what tho might como to himself.
They aro now dying Mr. Webster in tho wool
for tho Virginia market. Ho gave himself tho
first infusion nt Patchngue, and emerged from tho
vat, as somo of his friends thought, with a very
tolerable colour, under which but very litilo of the
original blue could bo scon. Tho Nationnl Intel
ligcncer of yesterday morning has given him afresh
plungo.ond it is now thought that tho huo is deep
enough for tho Virginians*. Mr. Webster is nc
cordlngly to proceed to that state, nnd will make a
spcoch ol Richmond on Monday next, in tho capa
city, wesapposo, of a Virginia dcmocrotof '98.
Not only is Mr. Webster, as ho declared at Pot
ehogue, a Jeifi rsoniou democrat, but according to
tho Nnlional Intelligencer, ho has been so for the
last fourteen years. The Inteligencor says*
" Whatever may havo been tho nature nr degreo
oftho political hostility In which Mr. Webster is
supposed to have been early trainod to tho politics
or persan of Jefferson, woliavo abundant evidence
that it has not withstood thu assuaging influence or
time, nnd the more enlarged views and intelligence
which time and experience must necessarily bring
10* a mind liberal nnd enlightened tin bis.
" IJoppy would it be for any of those who now
desecrate tho nnmc of Jefferson by invoking it to nil
thoir malignant and solfish denunciation* of better
nnd more patriotic men thnn themselves, if they
could adorn his memory with »urh no offering ns it
received from Mr. Webstor fourteen years ago.
" Dyed in the wool” nur renders will see; n Jef
fersoninn democrat of vary ancient standing; a most
consistent nnd venerable Incofoco.
If Mr. Webster’s friends will connive nt hiamak
ing this indecent exposure of his own inconsistences!
if they will encourage him in this catching at po
pular doctrine* and popular party names, ns they
may liappon to sorvo hi* present purpose, it is not
for us to interfere. Let him flounder on, like n
shark on tho shallows, from one inconsistency to
another. Like thnt huge creature of tho deep, ho
will exhaust himself sooner.
Yet we are a little snrprisod that Mr. Webster
should bo taken by a great party as its gaido ami ora
clo—a man whose whole political courso lias boen
little more than a series of gross contradictions. At
one timo we find him against a national bank, nt
another its advocate; nt one timo a freetrado mnn
nt another timo llio friend of a high tariff; at one
tiino tho enemy of a war with Great Britain, atano
tiler randy to cut short all negociatinn nnd te decide
u dispute for a few acres of wilderness by immedi
ate wai; at one time a hard money man, at another
in favor of a paper currency controlled by the go
vernment; at ono timo a Hamiltonian federalist, at
another a Jeffersonian democrat. Wewjll specify
these matters more particularly.
In 1816 Mr. Welmer, then in Congress, opposed
tho establishment of a nationul bank, declared that
it was not a propor remedy for tho disorders of the
paper currency, and said that " the only legitimate
power of Congress was to interdict tho paper of such
banks as do not poy specia from being received at
the custom house."—In 1032 Mr. Webster became
the odvocate of granting the national bank a second
charter, nnd thu other duy at tho Merchants’ Ex
change he maintained the founding of such on insti
tution was the proper mode of restraining the excess
es of the local banks.
In 1816 Mr. Webster said that "the framers of
the constitution and those who enneted thoerriy
statutos on this subjoct were hard money men, who
felt and therefore duly upprechted the acts of a pn-
per medium," and that "the legal currency of the
United States was gold and silver coin." In 1840
Mr. Wobiter, on tho steps of thu Merchant's Ex
change, tells ids hearers that a mure metdlie cur
rency is either a delusion or a fraud; that there
must bo a paper currency, and that this papor must
bo "nationalized" by tha Government.
In.1324 Mr. Webster argued with great energy
and ability against n protective tariff and in favor
oftho nnksd doctrines of True trade. In 1828 Mr.
Webstersuppoited,in Congress, an increase oftho
protective tariff. In 1833 bo opposed the "com
promise bill," as it is called, on the gronnd that it
was hostile to the interests of the protected classes.
In 1813 and down to tho dose of the late war
with Great Britain, be withstood tho government
in its attempt* to carry on the-war, with spirit sad
effect. In 1839, at the close of the session of Con
gress, his warlike ardor was so violent that he
called on the government to decide the question
of tho northeastern boundary by the sword and to
march an army into tho disputed territory on the
fourth of July.
From 1813 downward, through a long series of
ytars, we find him an avowed federalist. In 1840
be statu up a Jeffersonian democrat of ancient and
venerabla standing.
Thesa are but a part of the beauties of Mr
Webster'* political course, which we have collect,
ed on the surface with little trouble. We thought
It neossinry to put them together, because there are
some pauplo who gather up his word# as If they
were uiimed on authority from which there Is no
appeal, and make his speech#* ilidr political gos
pel. He is a skilful and able advocate of any csuia
Harriion in favor of Tteatury AW*.—Ill the
speech mndn by thu whig presidential candidate, nt

And if tho conspiracy to excite disgust should prove
successful throughout, these combined parties will

that tho race for the commerce uf tho West is run
ning— that she Ims started under advantages—and
that there is no alternative left for hor hut lots and
disgrace, or to press with nil her speed to the goal:
a point which will place hor in the tome position

tho Legislature to hnve tlm road finished with nil

THE ATLANTIC AND WESTERN R. ROAD.
No. III.
Tho Legirinture wisely dntoimined that our road
should bu independent of tim arrangements of any
other road, or any foreign Company or body—nnd
to effect this, that it should lie extended lo tho Ten-
nesieo river, whose wido spread commerce would
be attracted by tho short route to tho Atlantic.—
But it yetr- main* a question, whether it would r.ot
have been morn judicium to havo completed the
ruad to Cross Plain*, setting the car* to work, and
leaving tho extension to Rost’ Landing to a period
when tho monetary nffuir* of tho State were not so
contracted, and until timo and further examination
and knowledge of the country should hove anlighl<
ened nnd concenirated tho public mind on one point
alone for tho terminus. It was, however, thought
most prudent, under the declining Rail Road spirit
throughout tho country, to fix at once the tei minus,
and proceed at ones to that point, so as to avoid
if possible, all risk of an abundonni'-nt or delay of
this great project. Vnnvillc was suggested and
urged by some as tho most proper locution for the
terminus on thu Tennessee river—being a much
cheaper and somewhat shorter route than that of
Ross’ Landing. The Legislature however decided
that Ros*’ Landing should bo the terminus} b<>'
cause Col. Long, tho Engineer employed, as chief,
to locate and build tho road, recommended Ross'
Lending, notwithstanding tlw much greater amount
required to construct the road, as the best point nn
the Tennessee for tho terminus. lie is so Engi
neer of eminence—hnd been employed in improving

charged with having entered into speculations at
that point and others along the rood, end to hsvo
bean influenced in locating the read by his Interests
in those speculation.—and it is said, that capitalists
of Georgia, Tunnessee and Carolina, are united
with him. Very probably not enough is yet genu
