THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.

The line of Magnetic Telegraph from Phila-
depha to Pittsburgh has been completed. We
are now in the receipt of news from Washington,
through the medium of the pittsburgh Gazette"
in the remarkably short space of tIcO days and a
half. Whatwould have been Ihoughtof the man,
thirty years ago, when the pioneers of this cOun.
trywere in receipt observation-disclosures FROM the
Capital of the Nation, who would have predicted
that many of those pioneers would live to see the
day when only two days and half would be re-
quired to transport news over the same route?-
A "slrat- jacket" would have been deemed an in
dispensable article of apparel, and the "Lunatic
Asylum" his most appropriate place of residence.
Yet all this has been accomplished, and much
moro can yet be done Where will human in
ventions have an endl Where will mans amb-
ton find an abiding place1 The spirit Of the age
is certainly progressive" Onward! onward is
the predominant passion of mankind! The Indi-
an trail gave way to the State road;-that in its
turn was displaced by the McAdamized road;-
that gave way to the Railroad; and now the Mag.
netic Telegraph renders that of but secondary i'm.
portance What will be the next project for an.
nihilating space! Who can tell

"a WAR REGISTER"

The editor Of the "Ohio Patriot" proposes to
open ga war register" The object of the saga
ciOuS editor seems TO be to aWe the Wing party
into silence upon the subject of the war with Mex
icol We are not disposed to throw obstacles in
the way of accomplishing what the editor so de-
vouLly wishes; indeed, we are anxious to render
him all the said and comfort" within our power
We are wingthat the "register" should be OPEN
ed Immediately; and that it should not only con-
tain record Of the reasonable acts and senti-
ments Of the tories, but that the acts and senti-
mcnts of the patriots shouldbe emblazoned upon
its pages. Therefore, in spirit of kindness, we
propose the following items for the consideration
Of the "Pariot." Believing that those who oc-
cupy "high places" should stand conspicuous in
the "regstcr," we propose the name of JAMES X.
Polk, as the first on the list. He authorized the
commander Of the blockade before Vera Cruz, to
permit Santa Anna, ex-Presdent Of Mexico, to
enter that porundisturbed. Bythis act, the Mex
leans, on the eve of a civil outbreak, were
united; Santa was enabled to take command of
the Mexican forces,-the army, on the verge of
dissolution, was invigorated, and the Mexicans
empowered to procrastinae the war for an inde-
finite period. Opposite this reasonable act, on
the creditpa we would place, in gIarng capi-
tails, the names Of the volunteers from Columbana!
QUERY!-Why does not the editor of the Spa
uiot" come forward, like an honest man, and ad-
vocate his real sentiments? propose the passage
of sedition law; gagthePrcss; and ject those
who express their honest convictions that "His
Royal Highness" has not acted with that fore
sight and prudence which ought to govern Chief
Magistrate to fine and Imprisonment; and, final
ly close the doors of Congress and expel the re-
portera Tor thepress, that petty tyrant may carry
his nelarious designs into execution without having
his ears saluted by hevoicco Of an injured people!
The "Patriot" might as well endeavor to stay
the current Of the "father Of waters" as 10 i'm
pede the progress of popular opinion. The one
sweeps all opposing obstacles into the Gulf of
Mexico; the other will not be stiIled until the
scattered remnants of Locofocoism are safely an
chored at the head waters of "Salt Ri ver."

From the Albany Argus
spccch Of Gen. Cass the WIlmot Pr0vIse.

Among the speeches which we have promised to lay
before our readers on this subject that of Gen Cass
Certainly the friends of the proviso, however welded
to it, can take exception to the manner in which Gen
Cass presents the question: and his views and conclu-
sons in relation it His speech is calm, well treason
ed and candid exposition OF the clear grounds OF oblec-
ton to this Ill timed proposition, and to the graultous
and Improbable agitation could scarcely fail to produce,
and which did produce 1t could effect practical re-
suits 1t could form no part OF treaty, and was not in
tended to operate practical enactment upon the ad
mission of any new State And il it could be operative
in either case If was obvious that at time during the
session could the provso receive the sanction OF the Sen
ate Consequently its only effect could be to throw into
the discussion of the essential war and peace measures,
desired by the administration and demanded by the ext
gences OF the country, element OF srlfea sectional
discussion always exciting calculated to enbarrass the
prosecution of the by retarding essential government
measures and calculated also, by omentng divisions, to
weaken the hands of the democracy OF the whole Unon
and to give aid and comfort to It's political opponents.
Besides these mischevous consequences its effect was TO
put at hazard the passage of the three million bill and
while it thus directly retarded withheld the means OF
negotiating early peace held out to the Mexican enc
my the hope that through divided councils, they might
persist in their hostile and aggressive attitude, with the
prospect of coercing obtaining terms less honorable
and less advantageous to our government
The speech of Gen. Cass is worthy OF candid penIsal
BY every friend of the country by all who desire to look
at this question with fairness and who desire, aso an
early and honorable termination of the present war
