The actions OF U. s. House Of Representatives
in relation to the admission Of NJ SIBLEy has IN
vow ed that body in dilemma out Of (which it would
be we'll to extricate itsefas soon as possible. The
proposed teritoryof Minnesota it is we'll known EN-
braces the lands on both sides Of the Upper Mssis-
sppi commencing respectively at the northern State
lines Of Iowa and Wisconsin,. To press Congress to
grant them Territorial government without delay,
the citizens of that territory met last fall in Conven-
ton and conferred their sufrages on Mr. Sibley to
represent them Delegate in Congress. AS the
formal existence of Minnesota was not recognized
in Congress, and probably with good intentions,
proposition to admit Mr. Sihley to scat as Delegate
from the Territory Of Wisconsion was made, anu
we believe carried. The ahsurdity Of this move
ment was subsequently made apparent on a motion
to amend the appropriation bill, to add $4,000
to defray the expenses Of the government OF Wis
consin Territory. If there was such an organized
territory-and the admission of delegate from it
presupposed there was-then it was entitled to
full government. Mr. Schenck moved, in the midst
of the proceedings, similar appropriation for the
Territory Of Iowa. All will see that was just
as reasonable as the other. If the territory of Wis
con sin still exists, so does that of Iowa. On the
prevalence of such measure, our friend and CO.
temporary across the way might still claim to be
governor of iowa Territory and come upon the gov
eminent for his unpaid salary, during the time Iowa
has been state. Several other propositions were
made to make the absurdity Of the proposition more
apparent, such to recognize the old territories of
Arkansas, Missouri, &c. Mr. Schenck's amendment
in relation to Iowa was adopted, after which the
original motion was very properly rejected.

The CALIFORNIA RAILRoAD.-As citi-
zens Of the West, we have no objection
to our Government contracting TO use a
railroad across the Isthmus of Panama, pro-
vIded it thereby puts no obstacle in the
way of the vastly more important work
nationally considered railroad to CAL
Norma. In any contract by our Govern
ment, with the proprietors of that road, il
should be understood tina! our Government
will withdraw its patronage from il the
moment it can have the use Of a railroad
across our ownterritory. The New York
Sun is of opinion that the Panama project
will interfere with the other road. 1t urges
the matter as follows:
Ii the press Of the western and south
western States, which certainly should
feel deep interest in the matter, will but
unite in condemning the Panama project
for railroad, Congress will never give
. any contracts TO such Il route. II is sur
prisiDg that there should be more than one
feeling among the American people on this
point. Any road crossing foreign soil ,
backed by American enterprise and capt.
OF commercial and national rivalry. Gre
NADIA felt this when she offered such libe-
raj grants in her treaty with us, and had
she offered double hat she did, still she
would have been TIE gamer, had she en-
trapped us on her soil.
Even if Panama were our own, are we
to accept sixty days route for our COM
merce and travel, when we can accomplish
the distance in five or seven days? Shall
we enrich foreign soil when home en-
terprise would employ our labor, consume
our ores and timber. and open up our vast
territories for sale and settlement? These
ATE the questions for our Pennsyl, anians
and Missourians to consider, and when
well considered. Panama and Tehuantepec
will yield to the nobler enterprise of a
road direct from the Mississippi 10 the Pa

: RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH ILLrNoIs.-
The bill granting right of way through
Illinois, to the Ohio and Mississippi Ohe
Cincinnati and st LOUSY Railroad Com
pany, was rejected on the Isl inst, in the
Illinois House Of Representatives, by a
vote of 81 to 34-lacking one of the con-
stitntional majority, which is SO.
II is thought possible that general in
corporation law will be passed, under
which the privileges asked for in the re-
jected bill may be secured. 1t is said, how
ever, that such law will, so far as con-
Germs railroads, be guardedin such way
as to prevent any railroad in Illinois from

Il Proposition Made and anspered.-
The Washington Union, the very enlight-
ened organ Of our present enlightened adj
ministration, seems to think that there is
no hope for the country unless Old Zach,
who never surrendered in his life, now
Yields at discretion to the Loco Foco party,
Hear this croaker: SO y
"But there is one way by which this
Slavery excitement can be suppressed, land
perhaps the Union preserved. 1t will not
be Ivy the wisdom or patriotism Of North
ern or Southern Wings. This impending
convulsion can only be prevented by Gen.
Taylor. He can do it; but it will require
on his part an act--a coup d'etat in peli-
ties worthy only of the genius and wis
dom of Napoleon. He can save the South,
and perhaps the Union, only by marching
right over 10 the democratic party. This will
rally the whole democratic party of the
North and South to his support, and thus
he will secure popularity for himself and
safety for lis country"
To this modest, yet characteristic pro-
posal of the Federal ofice-holders, the
New Orleans Bulletin responds thus
truthfully and tartly:
at is hardly possible to conceive of
more simple plan for cutting this "Gordian
knot" than is thus suggested by the cor
respondent Of the Union, and approved by
the editor.
The only difficulty in the opinion ofthe
writer is whether Gen. Tay lor has the
nerre to carry ont his suggestion. We feel
authorized TO sag he has not.
'He has the nerve TO do any thing in the
line of his duty, without regard TO conse-
quences, but he has mol the nerve, either
10 be knave or traitor, nor to sacrifice
his principles nor the interest of his coun-
try, all Of which he would do, were he to
follow the advice thus given to him. He
is not the man to be guilty of any such
"coup d'etot in politics." and yet, withou:
attempting any thing of the kind, he "will
secure popularity for HIMSELF" from all
the good and honest portion of the nation.
