themselves that, notwithstanding the refusal of the
Legislature of Pennsylvania pass an acceptable act
granting the privilege TO the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company 10 extend their work within the
limits Of that State to Pttsburg, they have secured
a law for another road which will amount to the
same thing, by connecting it with the Baltimore
road at the State line. For the immediate prose-
cution of this road which is to extend from Pitts
burg to any point on the waters Of the Youghio-
gheny river, books for subscriptions Of stock are
to be opened on the 25th Of the present month.

dominates Legislative trckery, describes the manner
in which this route has been secured, as follows

Speaking of the habitual contradiction by the gov
eminent paper Of every statement rumor, in regard
public affairs, which does not itself put FORTH the
New York Commercial Advertiser well remarks
II must be observed, however, that the hear
ings' and present ADJUSTMENTS of the Union do
moi amount to much. There has been scarcely
an important movement of the Administration, in
reference to the Oregon affair, the rumor of which
was not, in like manner, contradicted by the Off
cial paper, on non-advisement. The rule seems
TO be, that the Union shall be the last to have
esadvice' Of what has really been DONE"
remarkable illustration Of this observation is TO
be found in the instance of the consultation which
the Members Of Congress (of the Unions" own
partly have held with one another as to the expe-
diency Of an early termination of the present
session, which the Editor Of that paper not only
persists in denying but Justify abuses those Of his
political friends, who, it seems, have not thought
fit TO take him into counsel with them on this
question. ~

Our readers no doubt freshly remember what we
stated, in our paper of Saturday last, of current
rumor of disposition on the part of leading Demo-

the well-informed and respected correspondent OF
the New York Courier and Enquirer, published
in that paper of tuesday, shows that the rumor
of which we spoke was not only current at the
time, but known by others than ourselves to be
well-founded
