By audi , means n these, lie hu contrived at aevuial successive elections in making it quite apparent to mull w are pre j disposed to tlats marvellous, ilia nothing "hurt of ln! personal effort in Consent would avail to nave tin- j Western Reserve " from all the horror and moral pollution of negro slavery ! He had played thin game with great adroitness, it in true ; but it frequent repetition brought along the (lunger of running it into the eround -ami hence, for two year pant, he ha been upon the alert to get upsouni now issue, which should bring to liim the same result. Hence, while profess-ing in lie a ever a Wing, he omitted no opportunity of inflicting upon the party a stab whenever in hi power; and it became quite evident that bul a tingle alternative remained to the. Whig party wliieh was, to submit ila entire policy, in mi age men!, and detmy, to the hands of Mr. Joshua II Guiding, or to forego all hi elFirts and care, fur and behalf of the Mid Wing party. The latter horn ot lliu dilemma ww taken ; and Mr. Giddmgs' chief employment from that lime forth, ha been to demonstrate the folly of the Whigs, in not preferring htm above all other coniidu-ration.During the first session of the late Congress, Mr. Gidding left lna put, and spent leveral weeks in bia district arranging to take his Jeave of the Whig parly, on term moil advantageous to himself. Hefore the close of I lul session, he ngnm abandoned Ins pott and liii duly, at & critical hour, to abet in filing up a "platform" on which to exhibit the falie god then about to be presented to the political Israel of the We urn Reserve." He wen I to tlie second session of that Ciingn-Si to spy out, if possible, oim-tbing wherewith to justify himself nt least, fur In acta of flagrant aposlney ; but he watched in vain. Not until lie bnd passed the c mtinesof the Western Reserve," did he rnise hi voice of warning. Tln-re, at Wiirren, he ventured upon the aierlion that Gen. Taylor "was found personally urging member of Congress to pnaa Mr. Walker's auieudim nl through" " the effect of winch was to extend slavery." From the moment lie uttered this bane c itmiiiiy, it Ins not ceased to be denounced through the length and breadth of the laud at a fliigrant falsehood, and il brazen author has been challenged to the proof. Well, Mr. Oidding has done his very best toward meeting this demand upon him. He wrote to " a Senator who supported Taylor," but gets no responio. He wrote lo Mr. Jonathan D Morris of Ohio, theLo-cof-eo member from the Clermont District, but Mr Morns gives him neither aid nor comfort. Ilo wrote to Mr. Linn Boyd, a Locnfocu member fi-mi Kentucky, but with no better success. Hut Mr Guiding does not despair !

In its leading editorial it is more th in insinuated that the delay in the appointment was occasioned by hesitancy on my part to give the Governor a pledg- for the removal of Mr. Roll.

The Hay was one of the very finest of the charming season of Spring the drive, a little rising of two miles, was delightful the company, a spontaneous, gathering of whosoever will, wa cheerful and animating ihe occasion, one calculated to elicit the better teel-mgs o( our nature. The grounds consist of about t5 acres, and are for the most part in a state of nature, covered with a fine growth of indigenous forest trees, now pulling on the verdure of Summer. The sur-liico is handsomely undulated, presenting a vast number of beautiful spots, to be improved an . yet further beautified by the hand of art, gmded by a chnsiened taste, and then consecrated lo the most holy nllecti'uis of humanity. The location is of easy access, and yet one of the most retired nnd rural spots to be found any where in the vicinity of the city. A temporary fence now encloses the grounds, and thu frame for a neat cottage, to be occupied by lie Superintendent, is already erected. Other improvements are projected, and which thu Trustees sre urging to a completion with all possible, celerity. Considerable labor is yet requisite, before the necessary avenues can be laid out and constructed, and the grounds- thus prepared to be laid off into lots, to be registered, numbered, and dis-p sed of to individuals. No unnecessary delay will attend the completion of this work. Among those who vinited the grounds on Wednesday, were a .org portion of Ladies, who with a provident forecast becoming the IVfl, the Mother, and Ihe Sinter, had taken wilh them ample supplies of such creature comfort as be needful to the nourishment of the hoi.y.u herewith to refresh those whoso kindly volunteered to bear a hnnd in urging forward the work of clearing tlie ground of brush and fragments of fallen tree. A few weeks, it is hoped, will sullice to prepare ihe grounds for disposal into lots; and the day is nut fnr distant, we trust, when Columbus will be in possession of a plucc suitable for th? occupancy of those who mt jnnit thar labors, nol inferior in point of beauty and attractions to that of any in the whole country.

It has long been a source of deep and profound grief to our affectionate and very courteous neighbor of the Statesman, thnt we do not feel and posses that ariteni lone for tho dear people that would lead us to be blind to popular errors, and even convert them into fit sub jects of public admiration. We are sure it i no fault if Ins, that we have been found so obdurate as utter ly to resist the meHine mood, whenever the great body corporate has committed a roily il is merely the force of early education, and we readily acquit him of all responsibility in ihe premise His ardent admirer, lirig Gen. Lrwu Cass, mode great proficiency in tint school of philosophy ; and hat laid it down as a distinguishing and characteristic trait of the two great political parties which once divided our countrymen, that whereat one of the smd parlies entertained heretical doubts of the infallible wisdom and justice of his majesty The People, the other was ever enraptured with the result if every demonstration uf popular ivcreigntr, and ns in duty bound, rendy to shout A mm lo whit-ver ullermico Vox Populi may condescend to give forth, llo rejoiced in belonging to the latter school ; and we congratulate the distinguished statesman of Michigan on thn practical illustration of tho exact truth uf Ihi bin favorite theory, as derived from the action of tho people in the very matter then in full view when hu laid down lna theorem. And we would congratulate our distinguished neighbor the Statesman of tint New Coiulitution, but for difficulties which arise from time to time, seeming to militate ngainst this bis favorite doulriue, rendering it incon venient to apply it practically to the concerns of every day life. We are suro we have every disposition to aid hnnin the establishment of a proposition so productive of the unction of self love, ever so grateful to man's humnn- ity bnl ever and anon we are met by obstacle lhat we cannot evade, nnd which a'o too formidable to be lurmountcd. And what is nmre, these " modern in stances arc continually, though no doubt unconsciously, rising up before us, even in the dnily teach ing of rfur neighbor himself! One little year ago, who could have persuaded him that the dear people would have been guilty of the great folly of turning a denf ear to his earnest counsel, and doggedly persist in refusing to elevate to the Presidency " the bravo old volunteer" who had so significantly fawned upon them, and whispered such exquisitely nonsensical 11 it- lery in their ear and thu afford another notable in stance of the proverbial ingratitude of republics.9 Whi would have believed the report ? There must be some exceptions su rely there niunf be to this rule of the infiillihiliiy of the popular Voice ! Ktse how coun-s it, that alter the rver-memo- rab!e Kith of May, .hi no Domini IHH, the people of Ohio nre found living under n Constitution then pro. flounced by our neighbor and his oracular conventicle assembled for thai purpose, I t bi utterly void, and of none effect ? Can it be possible tint the people ilo not know lhat our neighbor signed and sealed the death- warrant of Ihe old Constitution of H02, and that the Hon Rufus P. Spauldiug publicly pronounced the funeral oration? And here we meet another perplexity, in the fact lhat after all this, this same Judge Spauldiug took upon himself a solemn oath to support tins same Constitution, which he and our near and very dear neighhor had for six month been constantly telling the people was dead, and utterly at an end ! Another instance of popular delusion presses upon our mind : The Columbu Post Oih ;e. Our neighbor had taken some pains to esconce himself therein, and oiigtha -Ithjof Much last, was found cosily reposing upon its honors anil emoluments. He evinced no disrelish for In situation, nor any disposition to forsake it; and yet, by the force of public sentiment hu is converted into an outsider. H-w is tins ? Were the the people w:se and just in this ? Wi re they f liy whatever means these dith:ulties may be over come, in subscribing to the doctrine that the people nerrr err, and lint toose who think they d ar fule-ralhtt, our neighbor hu presented a case, ill view of which his own faith sUmyer and when he falters, what shall become uf those uf weaker confidence.: In announcing to Ins readers, a day or two since, the death of the gallant Geii.

The editor of the Ohio Statesman is one of tho very few who have stooped so low as to attempt to make political capital by an appeal to llit prejudice of the people upon Ihe subject of the Into unhappy riot in New York, and its lametituble consequences. In this, of course, he places himself in the position ot justifying tho authors of the disturbance, and of defending those who, in defmnce of the law, made a murderous assault upon a peaceful assembly. Last winter the ciluens of Columbus could not gather wiihm the walls of the Stale House, to behold, with no sentiments but those of curiosity, the antics uf the Statesman's legis lative puppet nliow, without being accused, by thai law- abiding and truth-worshipping print, uf riotous intent and a desire for bloodshed and breaches of the law; now the same print is justifying a most disgraceful transaction, ending in the loss of ninny liveS, got up upon a niern question of taste in play acting, between a lot uf well dressed and a lot of ill-dressed loafers. We have no sympathy wilh either siile of the original controversy, nor any love for those dramatic champion in whose cause it wa commenced. We despise wilh the same feeling nt contempt, the overfed aristocracy of tho one, and the grovelling demogogueism of ihe other. Doth contemn the people out of whom they draw their wealth ; and it is impossible to tell, had each tho opportunity, which would be the worser tvraut. 1 he one is the cherished idol of ihe over- proud, the other the spoiled child ol the over wicked. Neither has done Ihe world half as much good as mischief; and at best, their position is no lie iter than that of the itinerant elephant who gratifies a rational curiosity, or the equestrian monkey that excites infan tile mirth. Hut the Statesman, whose editor is a great light of modern law, anil who publishes a weekly Volume upon constitutions, has no sympathy wilh peace nor its ministers. The peam-ful ciluens whose heads were broken and their bodies bruised with brick-bats and paving stones Ihe police attacked and wounded in the discharge of their duty, nut only tiring upon the cecums niob, when it seemed necesary for self-pre servation with these he has no community of feeling. He bears the pall of the dend law-breaker; weeps loudly and ostentatiously at his fuuernl obsequies, and m thu robes of a high priest to the god uf confusion, burnt cloudy incense at Ins apotheosis, happy to be so well employed. We set out with the declaration that the Statesman ia one of the few pnK-rs which have made the atiemplto excite disturbances by an appeal to popular prejudices in (his matter. It is hut justice lo any that we expected from the eduor precisely the course which he ha pursued. The hankering for riot and bloodshed which he has exhibited, here at home, within the ont two years the scream for carnage which has ruig from his throat, throkrh the broad expanse of our own happy (and thank (tod ! aa yrl peaceful) State, had prepared us for the action uf Ins carrion instincts, wherever the cry of civil slaughlcr should rend the public car with its shrill nnd ternble tone.

These works have been purchased by eastern companies which these gentle men represent, and the object of the meeting, as we understand, ia lo take measures for the extension of tne Southern road to Chicago, and to effect a junction so as to unite the two branches at Adrian with ihe ter minations at Toledo and Monroe. The lines are to be relaid wilh heavy rail upon improved structures, and every necessary expense incurred to place the whole in the best possible order for business.

Ohio HiiilroadN. Ohio has been late in entering the field of Hailrond construction, hut will probably in the end surpass ev cry other Stale iu the number and value of her Railroad. Al present this subject engnges much uf her public attention, nnd there are few tilings more intimately connected with Ihe commerce, or with Ihe use nnd profit of capital. Indeed, it seems inevitable, that in the United States an immense amount of capital must find it way into lUilwny investments. Already we siirpus any country in Ihe world, in the extent of Riilwnys, nnd the fact, thul they cost fir less than in Kurope, will only increase the Ihcihty and number nf future constructions. The Riilwnys of the V. States now exceed five thousand miles in length. .The cosl h.i exceeded one hundred und twenty millions of dollars. The same number of mih-n constructed in nny part of Lumpe costs more than double thai sum. The immense amounlol nirricultural ntid mineral products transported upon R;nlro.id here, and the rapid increase of that produce, taken in connection with the suialleit cost, must make llie investments in Railways profitable ur many year to come, i bese reasons exist with still stronger force, in regard to Ohio; for here these work nre mnde much cheaper than they are in the Atlantic States, while the produce of the State to be transported, is vastly greater in proportion. These facta and this reasoning, will unquestionably cause the rapid increase of Railroads in Ohio. That our commercial renders mny be posted up on what is done and doing, in tins important field of commercial enterpnze, we give the following very brief view of Rnilrond in Ohio 1 The Little Miami Rnilrond Compniiy waa char tered about the year l(i, but wns not fairly commcuc- u till some years atterwanl.

Tho number of p pi sue liters transported on it is very large. It. Tho Mansfield Rnlrond. This work extends from Mansfield, tho county Beat of Richland county, to Sandusky city. The length ol tins work is tAj miles. We are not informed of it precise cost; but it i immensely profitable. In one year it divided about iiO per cent nlmont nil of winch wascnim-d by the transportation nf wheat, Mansfield being tin ren-tre of the most productive whcnl country in the United State. Tlie commercial value of the work, therefore, is great. The above three works have beeen completed several year; but there are in course of construction, and probably will be finished this year, oilier works, which are continuation ot these wurks, and of equal extent. They are as follows: 4. The Columbus, Xenm, and Cincinnati Rnilrond. This is sll under contract, and il is supposed will be finished tin year, f Ins is coutmunlion of the Little Miami Rail Road from Xenu (Im miles from Cin cinnati) through London, the comity seat of Msdison county, lo Columbus.

The whole distance is Tm miles; it pnsses through a rich and beautiful country, nhnost entirely level. 1 he cost of this work will be )H,0(HI dollars, and it must be very profitable.
