Of course nothing deGuite is yes known as regards the railroad survey. So far ag the engineers have progressed everpibing is eatisfactory; the natural grades found, al- though heavy, are not sufficiently #0 to prevent the con. struction of the road, or even to present avy obstacle to it; in fact, sney are regarded by the engineers ag a great advantage, for by them the country ts go tho- roughiy drained by the steep water courses consequent thereto, that the groand, even at this feason of the year, is rm,’ hard, eolid—the best, they declare, {as they bave ever seen for railroad purp ees.

Since my return home my attention hss boen called to an editorial article in the New York Times of October 27 beaded, ‘‘Mr. Yancey on Matters of Fact—Tho North and the Slave Trade.”” The article purports to be a reply to assertions made in my speeches in New York and Boston, ‘Their substance will be found in the following quote- ions from those speeches. In my epeech in New York I tala: " Our forefathers were not only slavebolders, but | }orted alavea from africa. Virgiula wivhed to suppre that trade, but Massachusetts ard other States wished it to be carried on. (Laughter.) Mat: sachasetts ‘ther States insisted that the slave trade sboula pot be probibited by any act of reas, and resisted all at- prohibii it antil the axt of of 1808 tempts to wes passed; for, by an article of the constitution, whieh as beyond the reech of Congressional amendment, it was provided by our fore‘atbers ibat no should be made in the slave trade uptil the year 1 How did that sound with the modern theorists as to the existence fan irrepressible conflict? (Applause) Tn wy epeech at Boston I satd:— Well, then, your fathers, in demanding that the sia trade, which existed when the Declaration of Indepen- dence was mace, should be continued; in demanding thas the fnstitution of slavery, which existed when the coustt- tution was formed, should bave 3 wider basis; in demand- ing that slaves should be increased in mandivg tbat they should have the privilege them, of buying them and selling them to our satis sr pateae eas pee moana jemand of their posterity per! ‘the title to that property? — (“No!” ea!”") The editor of the Times aeserts that ‘these statements show that the disuaton orator is either very imperfectly read jn the history of our country, or very reckless aad unscrupulous in the statemens of facts.'' The whole tezor and spirit of the article cag be best shown by the follow- tng extract: — It is true, as he alleges, that Virginia was opposed to the contipuance of the siave wade, and we are sorry to say iam ‘this is the only truth contained in the state- ment, The editor then proceeds to give garbled extracts from the debates in the Federal Convention, and adds his own weak attempts at argument to sustain his aweeping ae fertion. Av the point made by me is one of some import- ance in the present aspect of political affairs, I ask the use of your almoet universally reat columas to spread my reply before te public, Analyse my statements and they will be found to consiat of the following poiuts:— 1, The slave trade existed when the Declaration of In- dependence made 2. Virginia desires to have that trade suppressed. A ‘“dleteachusetts and other Staves withed it to be car- ried on.” These are ibe only watters steied aa facts, and the truth of each and a!!, exeepting that numbered two, te unqualifiediy Genied by tbe editor of the New York fimes. 1 might alors io leave the tgroranes or mendacity of tae editor of the Times to be jadgea of by the public iutelll- sence as 10 the fiset statement made by me; but as ( have fore me the ‘Debates in the Federal Convention,” from which be bas wade hia quotations, I wilt simply refer bia tu the 31 vol, Madison papers, p 2,390,0n which will befound Mr Shermeo’s (of Ut.) stalemect—“‘ag the Staics are now porsezsed of the right t> smport slaves, ag the public good did not require it to be taken from them, &c, he shought it best to leave tue meiter,as we find i."
