Address of the National Itailroad Convention, Assembled at St. Louis. T the P'ople of the United Stale: The Convention of Delegates from fourteen States of th Uni.m, which assembled at St. Louis on the 16(b devot O lbr last, being unani oualv ftvornl.le 1 Ihn conatnicyon of a Central National Railroad from the Minisaippi river to the waters of the PaciCe Ocean, authorized the undersigned members of a committee appointed tot the purpose, t address the people of the United States, and to urge their co-operation in procuring such action on th part of Congress aa maj be necessary to carry out the views nf the Convention. We bespeak, therefore, for the voice cf the Convention, . National audience. We aak, for their proceedings, the . serious consideration of the whole country. The subject I addressee itself to the whole people, aa elevated above J parties, above sectional divisions, and personal attach- j menu, and aa one in country , in government and in destiny. The spirit of Columbus, afier the snared of cen-! - - . . I..: ' tunes, point to "ine secret strati, wmm u"5 """v and America in direct communication with Asia, by the Western route, through the heart of North America, and invokes us to avail ourselves of its unspeakable advantages. The great and leading idea to which the Convention gave its cordial and unanimous assent was, that Central National Railroad from the Mississippi river to the waters of the Pacific, is of eminent and over-ruling necessity : necessity arising from recent events, correlative with our duty to sustain our country in its mission of Ireedoji andcivilization.and in its material progress, and of preserving our union of States whose eitension from ocean to ocean is practicable only through the achievements of modern science, which assure us of easy intercourse with all its parts, however remote. But the convention did not undertake to dictate to the country the plan or the route to be adopted. Nor diJ thf y enter into the queationa of constitutional power, or attempt to demonstate the prospects of through freight and travel, or the probable value and increase of way patronage, or affect to know more than is already in possesion of the Government in regard to the great coal fields and other mineral deposita of llie Western plains und nl the Mountains, or of the oilier qualities of the Central region, as they relate to the question of economy ind practicability in the construction of the road. Satisfied that practicable route exist prarticahlo lor construction and operation, refining to the adaptations or the surface as well as to the acceibility of fuel and water, and practicable in respect to the patrmiage which will support a railway, especially as connected with the interest oi the Government as a land proprietor, and with the political, military and social reason which juatify it all doubts and questions were waived in the expression of the emphatic opinion, that it ia "the dutt of the Government" to construct the road. The public mind is evidently prepared for the consummation ol this great measure. The numerous Conventions which have assembled in various parts of the country, the expressions of more than half of the State Legislatures, and of many other respectable bodies, indicate the readiness and decisiveness of the general will. To make these indications more complete and indisputable, it is only necessary to awaken cur countrymen to a sense of the glorious responsibility lliat is resting upon their age and generation, ana io give mem ippuitunuj iuucale their claims to intelligence and patiiotism, by submitting to them the alternative of approval or rejection. Clear it is that, however men, according to their knowledge, may have favored or condemned particular routes or specific termini though they may have differed in regird to the mode of construction however conflicting may have been men's interests, and theugh remote from each other and variant in character may have been the assemblages of the people, all have united to swell wih one voire the universal acclamation in favor of a central national railroad acioss the continent. And they have made still further pregress in the general union. They have intimated but one opinion as to the auspices and authority ander whirh the road should be built. Tliey have elerred unanimously to the federal government. And yet further, they have agreed that the road should be constructed speedily, and that the preliminary steps for that purpose should be taken immediately. The establishment of line of military posts from 'he western confines of the Western Statea to the Pacific Ocean; in all proper places, not far distant from each other, was deemed by the Convention an important preliminary step in the 'preparation of the railway. Theae posts, although they need not be permanent garrisons, yet would serve to mantiin peace among the aborigines, tould lay out and open military roads, assist in the erection and protection of the electric telegrsph, offer present pui.hs and refuge to the emigrant, and give aid and security to the various parties of engineers which may be sent out by the government to locate the best route for the railroad, white settlers, by a liberal policy exercised toward them, might be induced to cluster rapidly in the neighborhood of the posts, soon by their own numbers and strength superceding the necessity of the military. There seemed to be no argument in favor of establishing this line of posts along the Mexican frontier on the South, that would not be good in behalf of a similar line along tlie British frontier of the North. The Convention, therefore, contemplated only such line aa would lead directly through the heart of our Western territories, on or near the route which nature seemed'to indicate, and commercial and political convenience teemed to require aa the most suitable location of a national Railroad. And the Convention, not fearing physical difficulties so much as those which might be interposed by political and sectional feelings looking to the fact that a Northern route from the lakes to Oregon, and a Southern route through Texas to San Diego, were each strongly ure-d iipoo the pnblie consideration, and well knowing the tatal dangers or the delay winch the threatened disputes would be sure to involve, indicated a Central route be tween these two extremes for the main stem, wilh branches to the Northern, to the Middle, and to the Southern States. This offer to propitiate the claims of nationality will it is hoped, be as satislactory to the ex treme sections as it seemed to be to their respective representatives in the Convention. It is that fraternal spirit f concession and compromise, in which our Government itself was founded, and bat been tafely conducted through many portentous storms, which the Convention consult ed, and to which the country must look for a speedy So lution or ail the dimculliea which sectional selfishness will interpose against the construction of the road. Sectional jealousy without patriotism, like avarice without benevolence, tinka to a vice that, "to be hated, needs but to be seen, and in relation to this great measure, whose influence and whoa benefits will be co-estensive with the Union, cannot be tolerated, and we trust will not be teen. Elevating ourselves shore the prejudices of party, the paions of persons, the jealousies ol sections, let us proceed to the execution of this work with the singleness ol purpose which distinguishes true patriotism. Let us exhibit to the world a people united and busy in securing the foundationa of unprecedented grandeur, and conscious of a destiny which it it vain to oppose, and which is every dsy more and more unfolding itelf to the atr nzement of contemporary nations It needs but the fiat of the people, and the application- of the tneana and authority of their government, to consummate the master-piece of a powerful and patriotic nation. For such, a Ming the Constitution, would it truly be. No nation has ever executed a work of superior importance to the interests of the human rare. The Appian Way, the Regina Viarum of the Romans, though listing eight centuries and exhausting at onetime the ;loman treasury, and on which five daya were consumed in travelling from Home to Capau. bears no comparison wilh it. That pointed to Asia Minor, which Rome absorbed. Thia to A-ia itself, and to the Indies, looking to the commerce t f three-fourths of the population of the world, and passing through the heart of a continent. The temples of the ancient cities, the pyramids of Egypt, the wall of i.iuua, ins great roaa oi me incas, are insignincani monu. tents of pride and power, as compared with the importance of the great Continental Railroad of North America. The mind of man cannot conceive all its vast and unlimited consequences. Let the work be finished ; and then the trident of the sea would gradually fall from the b inds of England; the question of northwest passage would cease to vex the world but as matter of mere curiosity ; long and dangerous voyages around the Capes wiAj'd be lessened: we should no (oncer be subject to pass tarough foreign territory in going from one part of or domain to another; tune would be saved, distance i.nniliilsted, new resources discovered, new markets wei, a belt of civilization and cultivation eaiended ni-riMui th continent, improving the public lands, and rendering government intercourse and authority with the Inr)tn tribes, and oir own distant ptovinces, more easy and efficient ; the wealth of Asiatic commerce would commingle with ourt in the heart of our country, and the lights of civil and religious liberty would inevitably fall upon the slumber on the shores end islands of Iii Pacific, while our own Republic would advance in power, wealth and grandeur, and receive a new guaranty of its ur failing strength and durability. What, then, remains for us but to orge the co-operation of the friends nf the measure everywhere, in concentrating eoa the Crigreso the United States, in all its indisputable majesty and strength, the will or the raor-LE. And let IhoiHi people, aa they value the importance of preserving the unity or the ltepublie, as they love their Iriends who are settling upon the shores of the Pacific, as they desire to maintain the dignity and authority of their government, and as they are faithful to the miaion of Iheir county in advancing the cause of civilization and humanity, demand of their Representatives in Congress, wit Soul ronfusion, hesitation or tii.guise, immediate action artion, decisive, liberal and effectual. An intelligent people need not instruction in the forms of bringing their will to the knowledge of their Representatives. The resolutions and memorials of state snd municipal lef lslatcrev, the expressions of district and county conventions, and town meetings, of corporate bodies, the columns of the pres., the letters and petitions of indi iduhIs, will doubtless all combine in rolling down upon Congress an avalanche of popular opinion, which ran neitner be misapprehended oor withstood. But another and important fjrru ia that which may be anticipated from the

proposed re-assembling of the St. Louis Convention with the addition of delegates from all the St iles of tbe Union, in the city of Philadelphia on the first Monday of April next. To that re-union, we respectfully invite the attention ot the whole American People. Let it be at comprehensive and national as its object. Let States, counties, cities and towns send their representatives, until Philadelphia, broad-rimmed snd capacious as she is, shall be as overflowing with "delegates," as she will be, and always is, with hospitality and "brotherly love. In a word, let it be a Convention worthy of (he Hall of Independence. And as the issue of that Hall in 76 established the Union of these States, so may the issue of the Conventions of '49 and '50, by adding e bond of iron to the ties of kindred, of interest and of sympathy, for? er confirm and perpetuate it.

FbciT8 or War. We noticed lately the session of a Peace Congress in Pari. We see by a letter of one of the American delegates that Emile de Girradin, Editor of La. Presse, a piper which is said to havo the largest circulation t f any in Europe, lias commenced the discussion of the subject, and hails with his best wishes the cause of universal peace. The following fucts, frum the columns of La Presse, are appalling: . "The army of 1813 was composed nf recruits from eighteen to twenty years of age. Illness, fatigur, and misery decimated them. Of tbe 1,200.000 raised in 1S13, there retr ained in 1314, to defend the soil of France, but ne hundred thousand men above the iToiind. As the result of the various conscriptions made in Fro nee between the years 1791 and 1313, we find that four millions five hundred thousand Frenchmen were blown to pieces by cannon, brought down by musketry, impaledupon bayonets, or cut down by broadswords and sabres; and by all this sacrifice France obtained literally nothing not so much as one square inch of ground added to its territorial limits in her wars of 1790." The London Times follower up the above calculation, and computes the loss sustained by the allies at ten milliors of men cut to pieces in the prime of life ! The mind can scarcely realize such a dismal picture. And yet this enormous sacrifice of human life produced no advantages for which the cost of a single life would not have been tx dear. We look with loathing and hatred upon those savage tribes which period, cally offer human sacrifices to their g'dJ. But their blind yet honest zenl is pardonable, and their destruction of life but limited, compared with the pyramids of bloody oblation which civilized men of

fer at the shrine of national ambition, avarice, and revenge.- Richmond Republican. False Econemt. We suspect there is a false impression, among even intelligent citizen, regarding thtir tax for the support of the public press Do not gentlemen, whose subscription has been given to Inlf a dozen or more journals, often feel that there is a species of extravagance calling for curtailment, and an investment which yields no return! We fear tlii i often the case that it is a habit of men generally intelligent, to depreciate the press and economize in that direction,' while the whole list of other expenditures for pleasure, for dress, equipage, costly residen-. ces and tables, esc pes examination and retrenchment. A retrenchment of the pleasures of Ihe table, of house-rent, of apparel, would inflict no injury rather would be a benefit, perhaps, to health and comfort, while the neglect of some paragraph in the journals which he receives may involve him in serious and lasting difficulty or loss; and the habitual negiert of newspaper intelligence must infallibly place any man in a position unfavorable to the advantageous prosecution of business. In general intelligence, no man cad keep pace with the age who is not an attentive reader of well-managed journals of news. We would ask any man who lightly esteems his newspaper, to reflect seriously upon his indebtedness to this great instrument of light and knowledge, and to consider what he would be and where he would be, if he lived in a land or in an age where the newspaper had never circulated. Certainly he could not hope to compete in business with men enlightened and stimulated by the press. He could hardly expect to meet his fellow men on equal terms, in social fellowship, with out the influence upon his heart and Intellect of this informing, invigorating power. Horace Greeley reads the original Taylor men a long lesson as to their merits and deserts. He thinks that nine-tenths of the Taylor vote came from the whig party: and that consequently Taylor belongs to the whigs. He allows that the original Taylor men have a claim to some spoils, but not to all, nor to the major part. He complains that every Taylor man who started for him and nobody eke, claims an office, and falls out with Taylor if he does not get one. This is a question between the whigs and Taylorites. Let them settle it as they may. Taylor was the candidate of the real eitnon pure Zacharites, at first, and the whigs pitched in at the eleventh Lour, because they expected to get help outside of their - party, which they knew tu be in hopeless minority. Democratic principles were never stronger than they were last year; but thousands who had no love for whiggery, loved old Zach; thought he would be a no-party president, as he promised; and hence they voted for him. These no-party men furnished the candidate. The whigs mainly elected him, and appropriated him all to themselves. This is the true state of the case. The question now is who should hare the pay or most of it. The editors of the Journal should come out on this point. It is important that it be settled on approved principles. Say, neighbor, how is it, aud how should it be! Isu. Deni. Mr. Clayton, in his'Ietter to M. De Tocqueville,of the 5th of last September, said that the reason he addressed the French Secretary of Foreign Affairs (in violation of all precedent) was because, at that time, Air. Rush was on his way home, aud Mr. Rives had not yet probably ariived. It now appears that at the very time this letter was prepared and sent, Mr. Clayton had directed Mr. Rush to remain until Ihe arrival of Mr. Rites, and the former accordingly did remain. This fact was of course known to De Tocqueville when he received Clayton's letter! These circumstances place the Secretary of State iu a very equivocal position as a man of truth.- Pennsyhanian. Burtino a Woman with Military Honors. The Mexicans have such a martial spirit that they even bury women with military honor. The wife of Gen. Hernadez, Governor of the State of Vera Cruz, having died, her remains were e-corted to the cemetery by a company of the Guard Naciona and one of artillery, with all the great men of the city in the funeral cortege, guns, as the procession moved, firing from the Castle and Forts of Conception and SantiagoOCT A singular accident is said to have occurred at Opelika, Ale., on the night of the 18th inst. Two men from Coweta county, Ga., camped in a wagon under a large tree, near which they kindled a fire and left it burning. About two o'clock the neighbors were aroused by the crash of a falling tree, followed by the inuet piercing cry of distress. The fire had taken about the nvits and the tree had füllen across the wagon. After a few moments of the most intense agony, one expired, crushed to death. With great difficalty the other was extricated with no limbs broken. . ENLIGHTENED MINNESOTA. The L"gillittlire of Minnesota afforded a proof of their wisdom, in passing a direct vote instructing the Secretary to subscribe for all the newspapers published within the Territory, and to cause the same to be ftl-d end bound for future reference. The Legislature of every State should tike the same course, and thus place in the archives of the State, day by day, a chronicle of events, as selected from mirrors that nhow every hue of opiuion.

Beauty or a M-theks Iaive. Ossian E. Dodge hns just returned from a very successful tour at the West. An incident occurred at one ot his concerts in Cleveland, which is deeply interesting. We copy from the Tiue Democrat : In Dec, 1821, Mr. Blake with his wife and infant daughter were travel. ing over ihe Green Mountains, in Vermont, in a Ieili. A snow storm came sud denly upon them; and so wild and thick did the snow fall, that soon lite Lnrses refused to stir. Mr. ii. re adzing his position, determined to seek aid at the first house, and protecting his wife and child, started oil. Soon the cold numbed him, and he fell, unable tn move. His wife, as is supposed, alarmed at Lis absence. Quitted the sleigh, and determined to seek him. When within forty roda of him, she was overcome Knowing her fate, she stripped herself of the thickest part of l.er clothing, and wrapped up her infant daugh ter, and in a cold snow-blanket as her winding sheet, died. In the morning, travellers passing that way, discovered Mr. R, with his feet and hands badly frozen. "Are others near!" was the hrst question, lie was unable to reply, and pointed with his frozen hands in the direction of his wife and child. Part of the travellers pushed on. Soon they came to the body of Ins wife, all lifeleps and rold ; Mid Iiiuog up the infant from its snowy bed, were rejoiced to see it smile. Mrs. Seba Smith pul these events into a stirring song, and that sung Mr. Dodge sang with great effect But imagine the state of feeling in the room when it was announced that Mr. Blake and his daughter was present ! Not a dry eye was seen in the room. We ubjoin Mrs. Smith's sing: The cold wind swept the mountain's height, And pathlesa was the dreary wild, While mid the cheeilcss Imuis of night, A mother wandered with her child, As through the drifting snow they pressed, The babe was sleeping on her breast. And colder still the winds did blow, And darker hours of night came on, While deeper grew the drifts of snow, Her limbs were chilled, her strength was gone. "Oh God!" she cried, in accents wild, "If I must perish save my child." She stripped her mantle from her breast, And bared her bosom to the storm, While round her child, she wrapped tbe vest, And smiled to think that it was warm, With one cold kiss, one tear aha shed, And sank upon her snowy bed. At dawn a traveller passed by. And taw beneath her snowy veil, The frost of death waa in her eye; tier cheekt were cold, and hard, and pale, lie moved the robe from off the child, The babe looked up and aweetly smiled. Women. It seems as if nature connected our in telligence with their dignity, as we connect our hap piness with their virtue. This, therefore, is a law of eternal justice man cannot degrade woman without himself falling iuto the degradation; he cannot raise her without becoming better. Let us cast our eyes over the globe, and observe the two great divisions of the human race, the east and the west. One half o the ancient world remains without progress, without thought, and under the load of a barbarous civihza tion: women there are slaves. The other half advan ces towards freedom, light, and happiness; the women there are loved and honored. Never shrink from a woman of strong sense. I she becomes attache J to you, it will be from seeing and valuing similar qualities in you rut If. You may trust her for she knows the value of your confidence xou may consult her, tor she is able to advise, and does so at once with the firmness of reason, and the consideration of affection. Her love will be lasting for it will not have been slightly won; it will be strong and ardent, fr weak minds are incapable o the loftier grades of passion. If you prefer attaching yourself to a woman cf feeble understanding, it must be either from fearing to encounter a superi r person, or from vanity of preferring that admiration winch springs frum ignorance, to that which approach cs to appreciation. Woman under a .Vonarch and a Republic The Paris correpondent of the Philadelphia Ledger Writes: In Vienna where soldiers abound, women dig eel lars and carry hods. Theae are Bohemian beautit's I have betöre me a medical work, which speaks of death 6imply when a woman carries a hod and a child together. In Fans women clean the streets. In Ca lais, they descend into pools -f filth in wharf-laying men recoiling before the immensity ot the Augeanlike task. If in England wfnen only drink gin, and work in turnip fields for sixpence a day, is it because democracy has in a degree curbed the influence of privileged orders ro degrading to them. While on this topic, once of the last importance let inc remark that it is impossible to conceive the difference in which women are held and treated in America, compared with Europe, without living in the latter country. The democratic principle shows Us most marked influence in this particular. As standing rebuke to pride and insolence, it saves the more feeble part of human kind from degradation and tyranny. It to the same extent idealises their char - V .1 a.i sit. acter,ana aennes tneir rignuui action, iney are not made coarse and desp'sed drudges, while men was'.e and dissipate their means and time. The ex treme pcrasitic functions in a moral view which they are forced to play here, owing to the disorganized forces or social lite, are almost unknown in America. Under free institutions, persons and things are elevated to their level if not immediately, prospectively. In Europe, the social sce-saw shows one high up in the air, careering joy lusty in the sun and air, and the other grovelling hopelessly and wretchedly in the dark and tilth. ' Shocking Suicide Burning Herself to Death. A most distressing suicide took place in Newark yesterday morning. A respectable lady, wife of Mr. John Smith, residing in Ferry street, rose immmediately after her husband had left the chamber and gone down stairs, and lighting a loco-foco match communicated fire to her clot'ies, and was at once wrapped in flames. Her hu.-baiii, hearing her shrieks, ran up stairs and succeeded eventually in extinguishing the fire, but nut until her face and almost entire person was burnt to such a degree as to present tbe appearance of being nctually bak-d. Stie died in the aftertuioti of the same day, suffering dreadfully, and bewailing up to the last moment her fatal frenzy. She had become a mother about four weeks previous, and for the lust week or leu d iy had hown such symptoms of insanity, mauifsted chiefly in the form of melancholy and a disposition to self-destruction, as made it ieresary to keep a constant watch on her. About five years ago she made an attempt to commit suiciJe by taking la-idaiium, whirh was the second attemut of the kind at considerable intervals of time. Sue was a member of the Methodist church, and fir four or five years rust had enjoyed good health without exhibiting any signs of insanity. Being questioned as. I. the motives tint influenced her to commit the dced, she replied that being o miserable while all around appeared so happy, she felt that he could not live another day; but that she "would give millions of world" could she recall the act. Jler lamentations were heart-rending in the extreme. N. Y. Couri-r.
