Ma. WHirSEY, the protector OF the railroad TO the
Pacific Ocean, recently gave lecture before the men,
bers OF the Legislature OF Maine, in favor Of the
scheme and the Legislature passed resolutions approv
Jog il, and expressing hope that Congress would
cede TO Mr. Whiiney's demand, which is TO grant TO
him the land for thirty miles each side Of the
templsted road, the whole distance. Last week, Mr.
Whitney repeated his lecture before the New Hamp-
shire Legislature. The Senate passed resolutions APP
proving the scheme, similar to those passed by the
Legislature Of Maine. When these resolutions came
up for action In the HOUSE, Gen. Wilson spoke against
them. He was acquainted with much Of the territory
through which the road would pass, if il was ever
made, and he said to grant TO company a tract Of
land sixty miles In width, extending from the Lakes
TO the Pacific Ocean, would be 10 create one Of the
most powerful monopolies that ever existed His
speech had powerful effect for when he sat down
the question taken, and the resolutions were laid
on the table by unanimous vote.--Bosion .afias.
