Alexandria Gazette

Louis M'Lane.—The Wilmington Gazette, in reply to some remarks of ours, says that Mr. Louis M'Lane changes his position from New York to Baltimore, less with a view to pecuniary emolument than to promote the great objects of the latter city in the Baltimore, and Ohio Rail Road. The object is worthy the talents of the distinguished gentleman.—We wish him success as we wish success to all who devote time and talents to the promotion of internal improvements—that source of public and private wealth, and of national Union. It is a good sign for the Republic, when men who have occupied the stations which Mr. M'Lane has filled, and which he might with a little more flexibility have continued to fill or to look down upon, find honor and content in the discharge of duties unconnected with political office—secure in the possession of talents and character, and in the reward of earnest and honest industry, satisfied with a "private station."
