The Pacific Railroad

Hon. Thomas Allen, of Missouri, has
written long letter in reply to an invita-.
ton to attend the Memphis Railroad Con.
vention. which we find in full in the St
Louis Republican, of the 18th. We COPY
the estimate of the cost and the business
OF the Pacific railroad After citing the
Western Railroad of Massachusetts, as
an example of the most perfectly regula-
ted roads Of the country. Mr.. Allen pro.
ceeds:
Upon these data, and others of SINH.
lar character, which doubtless have come
to your knowledge, you will be able to
form an approximate estimate of the wants
and capacities of a road which we pro.
pose to carry two thousand miles through
wilderness, across the continent. You
Will see for example, on the supposition
that the business Of the Pacific road will
be IN proportion to that upon the western.
mat 1t Will require over 5000 tons of wa.
ter per day; over 5000 cords of wood
per annum, and over $4,000 gallons Of
oil to grease the wheels. These apparent
difficulties, we trust, will all vanish before
the applications of genius in developing
the resources of the country. The want
OF water and wood upon the few hundreds
OF OF miles of plains intervening between
tne forests which skirt the State bounda.
RES and the mountains, may possibly be
supplied by Artesian wells and pumps.
Will doubtless, at the same time, expose.
occasionally at least, subjacent beds Of
coal IN ample supplies for necessary fuel.
1t is fact probably not thought of. but
n the diminishing supplies of sperm oil
We snail hnd the necessity of elevatine
ne swine to the dignity of the land whale
md OF taking from him the oil which the
leep will no longer give up. The Pacific
abroad, in full operation, will consume
ne oil OF more than Thirty thousand hogs
'er annum. ,E0a ~ 90

For the Spirit Of Democracy.
TO the Citizens of Monroe County

The time will soon arrive when | will
be called upon to represent you, to the
best of my feeble abilities, in the Senate
of Ohio. To impartially carry out the
will of those interested will be my highest
pride and aim. Being a stranger to most
ofyou, | trust it may not be deemed i'm
proper to obtrude few hastv remarks
concerning my duty as your agent-ask-
ing your aid, advice and instructions on
all public business in which your rights
or interests may be involved. To the end
that may be conversant with the wishes
and opinions of the people, | respectfully
request that they write frequently, giving
me their post offices; thereby enabling me
to correspond with them and forward doc
uments. Instructions, from the sovereigns
TO their servants, are as essential to good
government, as advice from father to his
son.
Americans should never forget that the
liberty they now enjoy was obtained by
years oftoil, and suffering, and bloodshed.
They should ever enforce their sovereign. {
ty: Failing to do SO, they may, in short {
time, be called upon to regain their lost S
liberties. Their fate, in such a contest, q
may be the same as that of the brave men,
who, within the present year, contended jt
for the rights of man on the TIBER, at the tV
walls of ROME, at GENOA, MEssINA, and C
SALERMo, and lost their all on the plains |
,f BADEN. Their sorrowful condition may o.
De the fate of Americans, if they fail to W
control their lawmakers. Power is al e,
Ways passing from the many, where it o.
egitimately belongs, into the hands of the tn
sy. Our fathers, when they passed the W
'olitical Rubicon, with theirgarments dyed

IHE POPULARITY OF THE ADMINIsTRA.
TIoN.-On the 4th of March last, when
General Taylor was sworn into office as
President of the United States, one hun
dred and thirty seven members of the
next Congress had been elected, as we
learn by the Washington Union, of which
eighty.t1co were wings, and but Gtiy.6re
were democrats. Since that time, the clio.
ven foot of federalism has been discoy-
cred in the repudiating of pledges, and
out of the eighty-fve members since elect
ed, only thirty are wings, while the dem
ocracy have elected .jftiy.fre!
These facts speak volumes, yet whig
papers in the face of this evidence still
claim that Taylorism has lost none of its
popularity with the people. STATESMAN.
