FANATrcisM--lTs PRoGREss-About ten OF
twelve years ago, variety of little streams oil
isolated tanaticism began to flow from various
quarters in the northern States. Who has not
heard of Abby Kelly, of Boston, the great patron
ess of some of the queerest notions IN social and
political science as well as in kitchen affairs,
tina, have been developed down East! Mr.. Bris-
bane. few years ago, also introduced Fourier
ism from France there. A few years ago, too,
agrarianism, or general division of property,
was made the object of political organization in
this city, and Its founders actually sent one men,
Der to the Legislature. Ant-masonry sprung up
in the western part of this State, and ragged with
it elevated Thurlow Weed by its surges, TO be the
State barber of New York. Abolitlonlsm, ANAL
gamationism, Fourierlsm, antl-masonry, social
ism, and all other sorts of isms, have sprung up
in single shoots during the last few years; but now
an attempt has been made to unite all those va
rous shoots into one immense movement, by the
vast magical skill of Mr.. Van Buren,, of Kinder
hook. What a strange position for that statesman
TO occupy at this particular time' The wlldness
the insanity, the folly, the nonsense, aud smpli-
city, of all these eccentric and extraordinary doc
trInes, are now brought together under one tent
IN Buffalo; and Mr.. Van Buren, has undertaken the
task TO unite them great and wonderful
movement, for the purpose of preserving the free
dom of the negro in California and New Mexico
Well. let us see how they will accomplish this

RAnRoAp To HE PAcrfc-WlLEEs's ScnEME.-
We publish, in another column, communication
from Mr. Whitney, who is now at Washington,
one OF the proe ctors OF the railroad from the Mis-
sssippi TO the Pacific. We also publish COM
munication from Mr.. Wilkes, of this city, repre-
senting that his plan ought to be adopted by the
government, as far more feasible, and likely to
avoid the errors and bad consequences which
must follow from the plan proposed by Mr.. Whit
ney We do not wish to enter into the merits OF
either of those plans Mr.. Whitney, no doubt,
thinks that his plan is good one, and we presume
that Mr. Wilkes entertains the same notion OF his.
Both plans, and all plans, for railroad from the
Mississippi the Pacific, are, doubt, plausible'
magnificent, and SPLENDID. We have INDUCED in
the vein frequently, and pictured to our magma
ton the grandeur of the project of going over the
Rocky Mountains, down to the shores of,he Pacific
at rate offorty or fifty miles an hour But all these
plans and projects, come from what quarter they
will, are visionary, at least during the presen,
century, and utterly impracucabe for many years
to come. In two or three hundred years hence,
when the population of the United States shall
have been spread around the foot of the Rocky
Mountains, both sides, with towns, and vii
lagos, and country seats, hanging on the crags of
the mountains, 1t may be possible then TO PROJECT,
with some degree of success, railroad of this
kind 1t is useless to talk, discuss, or project,
before the people of the northern part of this con-
tnent shall have increased to one, or two, or three
hundred millions. On the continent OF Europe,
railroads can be constructed, because there there
is "a ropuoton and cities covering the whole sur
face Of the territory. China might do the same,
if the people of that country were an energetic and
goahead people but the United States, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, is merely in its infancy,
and for many years to come, the construction of
railroads will naturally be confined to the most
populous parts of the republic, and they cannot be
constructed with any prospect of success IN any
other part OF our territory.
1t Is perfect insanity, or the next step to It, Tor
any one to indulge IN further discussion about the
feasibility of railroad from the Mississippi to the
Pacific, at the present time. If Congress had COM
mon sense, they would not discuss such subject.
They have sufficient matter for immediate use be-
fore them, to occupy their time and attention but
those men in Washington, seem to be more DIS
posed make fools of themselves, at the price OF
eight dollars per day TO the people, than to go to
work and do their duty to their constituents.

BUFFALO, August 9-S A. M.
Five thousand persons assembled last night, In
a tent. Several distinguished men addressed the
meeting. Adjourned at o'clock this morning,
to meet at the same place, in prayer
Committees have been appointed to prepare and
report rules for the organization of the convention,
and to select permanent officers for the conven-
ton. These committees will report Charles f.
Adams, son of John Quincy Adams, for president
of the convention.
BUFFALO, August 9, 1913.
The park of two acres was filled with delegates,
committees and sub committees, and meeting is
held in almost every vacant room to be had in the
city.
1t has been decided that the business of the con-
venon shall be transacted by three from each con-
gressional district IN the States represented, and
chosen by delegates from each district.
"All is harmony"
Il any serious opposition exists towards Mr. Van
Buren,, it lacks organization
All the speakers, more then twenty, including
wings, democrats llber.y-men and abolitionsts,
of every shade Oh opinion, seem favorable to Van
Buren's nomination.
The meeting has Just ad journed, IN consequence
Of the fall OF tho staging, which delays the organ
izng Of the convention.
