THE NEW ERA.
Gek. Tatx-or and ins Views. A writer In
tdo Cincinnati Gazette, gives on Interesting tic-
count of a conversation held with Gen. Taylor,
on a recent visit to his homo at Baton Rouge.
Wo extract so much of his loiter as appears to
bo of general interest j simply premising tb'i
although it appears In an anonymous form, wo
have no doubt of its authenticity, nnd that Gen.
Taylor will act in accordance with the viows
hero attributed to him :
General Taylor told mo that ho wos already
overwhelmed wiih Applications (or oflico, so much
eo that it occupied nil his time, not necessarily
devoted to business, to read llm numerous letters
many of which aro long and tedious, so that
it Is quite out ol III? power 10 gtvo nnswers.
" Besides," says the General, "Iain not yet
President, and when 1 am, let thuso applications
bo made through tho proper departments, and if
it is wished to remove an incumbent, let it be
shown that ho docs not answer tho Jelfersonian
standard fur an oflico holder, and that thonppli
cant docs; for as far as lies in my power, I in
tend that all now appointments shall bo of men
honest and capable. I do net intend to remove
any man Irom office, because ho voted ngcinst
inc, for that is a freeman's privilege; but such
desecration of oflico and official patronage as
some of them have been guilty of, to secure tho
election of the master whom they served as
slaves, is degrading to the character or Ameri
can freemen, and will boo good cause for remo
val of friend or foe. Tho offices ol thugovcrn.
ment should bo filled with men of all parties;
and as 1 expect to lino: many ot those now hold
ing to bo honest good men, and as tho now up
nointmcnls will cf courso bo Whigs, lhat will
bring ubout this result. Although I do not in
tend to allow an indiscriminate removal, yet it
grieves me to think that it will be necessary to
requiro a great many to give place to better men.
As to my Cabinet, 1 intend that till interests
nnd all sections ot the country shall be repre
sented, but kot, rs some of tho newspapers will
lunc it, all parlies. 1 am a Whig, as 1 have al
ways been tree to acknowledge ; but I do not
believe that those who voted fur mo wished mo
to be a mcro partisan President, and I shall there
lore try to be a President of tho American peo
ple. As to the now territory, ii is now free, and
slavery cannot exist thero without a law of Con
gress authorizing it, and that 1 do not believe
they will ever pass. I was opposed to the ac
quisition of this territory, as 1 also was to the
acquisition of Texas. I was opposed to the war,
and although by occupation u warrior, I tun a
jieuco man."
Upon the subject of improving our great riv
ers and lakes, tho friends of that incisure may
rest satisfied that '.hey have a friend in President
Taylor.
' Gen Taylor was sixty-four years old last No
vember, lie is now hale and hearty, and in the
full cnjownenl of his naturally strung intellect
ual faculties.
The Albany Journal states, on reliable auth
ority, that the above is authentic. It certainly
is accordant with tho Allison letter.
Foreign .Mails and Postage. A postal treaty
has been concluded between this country nnd
Great Britain forrcciprocal postage, and also pro
viding for the transmission of British mails thro'
this country to Canada. Tho following instruc

RAILROAD MATTERS.
fX?" Jin old Railroad Project. A part of the
Ogdonsburgh (N. Y.) road is finished, as slated
in our paper a fortnight since. On the 8th of
Dec. 18W, the Watchman contained an article
from a correspondent advocating Uailroads ns
preferable to canals, and suggesting a " Kail
rood leading from Boston in Massachusetts to
Ogdonsburgh in tho State of Now York. Tlu
route lo bo n3 follows: begin at Boston, and
inako tho road to Lowell ; then f:illow up tho
Alerrimac River lo Plymouth N. II. ; thi n cross
Connecticut river to Bradford, Vt.j thenco from
Bradford to Burlington, through tho Valley
of Onion River," &c. It is worthy ol remark
that nolo railroads are constructed, or in tho pro
cess of construction, over tho entire lino sugges
ted, except from Bradford lo .Mor.tpelicr. At
that time it was expected lhat the trains would
bo drawn by horsc3, but Dr. Jackson of Boston
predicted that steam would be made available.
Tho clever Doctor modestly calculated that u
doublo track would " bo equal lo sloop naviga
tion," und the public were faithless at that. By
tho way, if the Ogdonsburgh nnd Boston line
has on earlier supporter thin the Watchman,
and its correspondent, bring him on that we may
honor him.
Oy Wo are told lhat some of the Portlanders
are opposed to tho now Portland, Montpeiier and
Montreal route. If thoy find it the shortest nnd
cheapest route, to both Montreal and Ogdons
burgh, they will change -their tune probably.
Wo aro glad to learn that the Plaiufield people
aro moving fur a survey.
fXln 1845 we loaned to some engineer ot:
the Central Bond a report of a canal survey
through Vermont. Please return iu
I n ou r - fir nl
an inkling of ihe returns, wo judge that tho Cen
tral road is already doing an excellent freight
business. An extension of iho road will in
crease this business far beyond tho proportion to
the distance extended.
Burlington &. Rutland Railroad.
The question is daily asked, at what limn the
completion ol" the Burlington mid Holland Rait,
road may bo justly anticipated. The works ore
now in such u condiiion of forwardness ns to
warrant an authoritative drawer to this question.
Upon the northern Division ot the road, lrom
Burlington to Brandon, tho rails can duublless
bo laid and ready for use in llio courso nf the
month of July next That portion of the ro:id
between Brandon and Rutland, cannot uu mush
ed so promptly, but will be ready for the (rack
early in September, or at lurtnesi uy ucloucr 1st.
On the southern division of llio road, the lino
Irom Bellows Falls northward to Cuvcndish (or
nearly) some twenty nines, win bo reaily lor thu
rails as early in llio sprint? ns the season will per
mit them to be laid. On Iho whole it is sale to
promise, making duo allowance fur Iho ilelav
which mi v bo encountered at tho more difficult
points, and for tho various contingencies ot the
future, lhat the entire work irom Burlington to
Bullous balls will ho ready (or public uso within
the present year. Our Burlington gallants (wc
doubt not) will bo able, on the fir at of January
icau, to compieio kuieir conipiimenlury calls at

to finish the courtesies of tho Now Year with the
Beautiful in Boston!
Tho above dates (in fixing which we havo re
sorted ta the most nulhuritalivo sources of in
formation) arc less sanguine, but more safe, than
llioso sometimes indulged; and while wo think
it certain that tho road cannot bo completed
sooner than the first, or probably tho last of next
December, wo proclaim it ns matter of congrat
ulation to Vermont, and incidenlally to Now

More Annexation.
The provinco of Nuw Brunswick so lately
so loyal has been reduced, by Biilish legisla
tion und bad crops, !o a stale almost of destitu
tion, and there is a feeling, which seems to be
gaming Btrenglh daily, lhat ils deatinv is to shake
(iff the heavy yo! oof England nnd become part
and parcel of tho great North American Repub
lic. The following extract of a letter from n
member i f tho Provincial Parliament, explains
thu condiiion of tho I'rovinr.e, the causes of its
present condition, and tho remedy to which some
of its intelligent and influential citizens at least,
are looking forward :
"Since 1 have been in business, I havo never
known the country in such a state. Tho crops
having failed, both of potatoes and grnin, we
may expect the greatest destitution. We havo
nn irado to any country. So much for Brilibh
legislation. I do hupi that your Government
will ullow our exporls to go to the Slates fiee of
duty, so that wo can have some chance of living.
1 am sure, had thu question uomo up last sum
mer in iho House ot Commons, of throwing off
llio Colonics, there would havo been u majority
in lovor of it, and I hoarlily wish it may be
done. This provinco is rich in mines and miner
aid, and onco let our productions havo frou in
grets into your market, and yours into ours, it
will be the making of us, and of great benefit
to you. Our iron and coal, if wo only had u
market, aro more valuable than your California
guld minns, nnd iho onu will nxsist to uuiko thu
other useful ; to devclopu iho resources and con
solidate the interests of tho best half of tho
world."
It is doubtless true, os our correspondent in
timates, that such a connection would bo fur Iho
joint bencfl. iu a commercial vie. New Bruns
wick has wood, coal und irun.in almost exhaust
less quantities. Till within n low yours, she lias
lived upon her wood; but llio discriminating du
ty in her favor bus been abolished in England,
and eho has no longer a market for it. Her iron
beds and coal beds havo been hardly opened ;
fur like in, alio cannot manufactuio iron or raise
cual withutit protection, nor lias sho u market for
them if sho cuuld. With theso causes o: dis
content, hampered in every way by hur depen
dence on England sulVenng fur lood, wuho.it
the means of paying for it, becauso tho policy
of England lorbids her industry Irani creating
thoso means out of her ruw materials, we do no"
wonder that sell-interest is getting the better of
loyalty, for "ielf preservation is the first law of
nature."
Wo have always boen opposed to increasing
our territory in any direction j but if wo iiium
havo enlarged duinininus, we should very much
prefer taking into partnership such a country and
such u people, as New Brunswick and ils intel
ligent population ull parlies interested consent
ing thereto tlun any oilier country und people
on our burdcrd. oi(m Atlas.
fXTThe following paragraph is from tho St.
John's, Now Brunswick, Observer of Dec. 15th j
It is not without significance i
" There Is so much respect and regard for
monarcl y and monarchial principles, in New
Brunswick, that tho ideu of separation from Eng.
land cannot, without great nnd cogent rtuions,
bo entertained) but our tradu is pruslralo uur
population is gradually removing to the neigh
boring republio und it is hard to say what man
in self dejence maybe forced to dot Tho rulers
of the British empire, if they wish tu retain tho
affection of the colonists, must unito them under
a common head."

fur tho appointment of a Select Commlttco to

Mr. King moved to lay tho question of tho

Mr. ilulu contended that Mr. King was out of

which was laid en tho tablo as above, without a

Tho bill reported by Mr. Dix for admitting
certain articles nf Agricultural produce, ores,

up.
Mr. Dix briefly explained its provisions, con
tending thai it would havo no mjuriuus'eflect in
regard to whatever Protective features now ex
isted in llio Tuiilf.
AI.. Pearco and Mr. Hunter opposed it on Iho
ground that it would remove whatever of Pro

est, and that they believed that all countries with
which wo had reciprocal treatiue, would bo en
tilled lo tho benefit of iIiik net, so lhat Flour
could bo sent hero from tho Baltic freo uf Duty.
After a fuw remarks lrom Alossrs. Niles ti rid

Tho Clerk replied in tho negative.

The Speaker. It is the gentleman's right to

The Speaker. If the gentleman did not vote

The Speaker then called on iho Clerk to an

perceive theiu was no neccsiily for tho Chair lo

Some conversation took placo between sundry
members, tho Iloiito appearing to be in a very
undecided stalo us to what sliuu'd bo done, when
Mr. Sawyer icsolvod Iho ditUculty.by moving
a reconsideration of tho vole.
The Speaker then uuiiouiiecd that the bill be

Homely numerous, and nniinated groups were to
bo seen here and there, through llio hall. Prince
Louis Napolcur. was not present at tho openins
uf the silling, but his cousin, Jeromo Bonaparte,
occupied his sent. Tho public galleries were
crowded. In one of them wo remarked Iho

AI. Rousseax began by reminding llio Assem
bly that, being itself elected by universal suff
rage, it had wished llul thu President of the
Republic should derive his powers lrom tho
same source, and receive the baptism of power
from tho same hands. The people had respond
ed to that appeal. Nothing cculd exceed the
dignity evinced by the people on the occasion,
and Eurupo would admire that grand and mag
nificent spectacle, and the calmness und freedom
winch had presided nt ihe election. Not less
than 7,:j:jy,000 citizens had deposited their votes
in the electoral urns. Tho elect belonged to no
party. There was no victory, no defeat; no
cunfjiicrors, no vanquished. Alter ao calm, rOIN
giousj and patriotic u manifestation, no man could
prcsuinu lo substitute the will ot a few for the
will uf all.
By the number of tho votes and tho regularity
of iho operation, AI. Lonis Napoleon was tho
really elect of tho nation, nnd (hu Assnmh!.- i,n,i
only to order that thu executive power be irans
ferred to his hands. After paying n Iriliuto of

devote themselves with you lo tho application of

coming into power owes its debt of thanks to its
predecessors, when the deposit ot us authority is
handed over to it intact, und in particular 1 uwo
it to the Honorable General Cuvai!?nac io say
lhat his conduct is worthy of the generosity uf
his character, and that sentiment of duty which
is thu first quality of a statesman. (Hear, hear.)
We have, citizen representatives, u grand mis
