That Bridge.-A writer in the Fort Madison
Statesman, in speaking of the mammoth bridge pro-
posed to be built at Keokuk and which is to cost
over 10000 1000, says: -
"In the meantime, should like to have some of
your subscribers, who good at ciphering tell us
how many teams, &C., would have to pass over that
bridge at Keokuk, "vhat amt thar to pay the
$1,000 per hour for twelve hours Of each day in the
year; and want the calculation based upon the
data that the ferry boat .Horse-fy," Capt. Augu-
bright, at sPerrys landing, charges, only 10 cents
for four wheeled vehicle; drawn by two scrit-
ters." And the Capt. intimates his determination
not to retire from the contest-bridge or no

The excellent Steam Ferry Boat Flint Hills has
been crowded with immigrants during the past two

The Davenport cenve .,iea.

There never was . more propitious time to secure
the removal OF to the navigation in the
Mississippi than at present. The Congressional
delegations from Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, iowa,
9th in the House and Senate, should be requested
to insist upon separateoH for adequate appropri
alton for he improvement Of the Rapids and they
ceve alarger majority of votes, than any other that
may be introduced in Congress during the approach
ing session.
We have said so much on this subject in former
years, and the utility and practcabilty of the pro-
ect are SO well established, that there seems to be
no necessity for us to offer single argument in its
favor at the present time. If Lieut., now Captain,
LEE had been permitted to prosecute his excava-
tons another season, the Lower Rapids would have
been cleared out ten years ago, and about as many
millions of dollars would have been saved to the
people Of Iowa and Northwestern Illinois alone.
He demonstra that in another season, with an
additional number Of hands, and by putting sepa-
rate gang ofworkmen on each chain, the work could
have been finished. The public documents, con-
tanning his report and maps Of the rapids, will be
before the Convention, SO that the members can
judge for themselves in relation to the ease with

Federal Patrsnase.

Federal Patronage.
In commenting on an article In the Republic, yes
terday's Gazette enumerstes the federal offices in
this state, and declares that sbut single ONCE
within the gift of the President in this State is filled
by democrat! The Surveyor General, Mr. Booth,
still holds on.,' This declaration is made in view
OF the influence of the federal patronage in this
State and to combat the idea that if such appliances
were used to have affected the result in the late
election, the wings had the best of it. This we de-
ny. In the first place, The Surveyor Generals office
WELD greater inlueace by far, in its distribu-
ton Of patronage, than all the other Offices put to-
gcther. We have had this demonstrated. 1t was
the patronage of that office which secured the cleo
ton of the present u 5. Senators in this Stae who
in their turn exerted their official influence, thus
obtained, in securing the ascendancy oftheir party
Besides, ii whig otiice-holders were ever SO much
disposed to WELD, in this way, their official infu-
ence, their recent induction into office could not
have affected the late result On the contrary those
whose places they now occupy, smarting under
their disappointment and out for their re-
mova, had it in their power and did more in sesu-
ring loco foco victory, than the new corners, with
out such means as the late incumbents had at COM
mand, could have done. We think, therefore, that
the Republic is right and the Gazette is wrong,and
that the defeat Of the wings is in great measure
seowing to the fact that the federal patronage has
hands Of our adversaries.'

but the most attractive article, and which occupies
great portion of the number, is well written view
of the various routes for Rail Road to the Pacific.
Mr. Loughbor ough, the writer, gives very liberal
weigh. to all the arguments in favor of the Memphis
and the Prairie du Chen routes, but points out
many insuperable obstacles which do not appear in
the st Louis project as to nearly demonstrate the
latter to be the route. He has travelled large
portion Of the way and speaks by the book. We
would like very much to give synopsis Of the ar
ticle, had we time and space. II must exert . large
influence in favor of the st Louis route at the APP

The Spoils! The spoils::


The New York Globe is well known rs the Or
gan Of one Of the sections Of the Democratic party
in New York. The following plain and honest APP
peal is extracted from that paper. Such plain talk,
destitute as it is from all hint about principle, could
only emanate from unprincipled locofocos. BY the
late successful second attempt at Union between
the Barnburners and Hunkers, it would seem that
the object recommended is to be tried. The dec
laraion OF Mr. Calhoun that the leaders Of the loco
foco party are ever kept together by the "cohesve
power Of public plumbers" it would seem has again
been strkingy verified. An eterna, thirst Tor splun-
der'' seems to be their only prompter to action.

The PRESENT AND LAST ApMIsIsrRA.
rross.-One cannot but be struck with tho
contrast between the attitude occupied by
Gen. Taylor's administration, in regard to
questions Of foreign policy, and that OF the
late Government. The general complaint
with the enemies OF the Administration 10,
that Gen. Taylor will not disclose his poll.
cy and define his position, both upon for.
eign and domestic questions. "Wha. do
you mean 10 do with the French sffair!"
What about the Mosquito King?" "Are
you for or against the Monroe declaration"
These are the incessant inquiries OF his po.
litical sdversaries. Their curiosity seems to
be as perpls1ing and ill'timed as tha. Of
Santa Anna, who dispatched q message to
Gen. Taylor. in the midst Of the battle Of
Buens Vista, inquiring ",rhat he ,Da,,ted'"
The old hero sent him back word that he
wanted PEACE. We have no doubt tina. he
is striving foI the came object now. though,
il it cannot be secured upon q permanent
basis except by a resort to the "last srgu.
ments." Old Rough and Ready will no. be
the man to take fright q, tho alternative.
We admit that Gen. Taylor does not come
out ana say WnaI 10 Inc American demand,
and that he nnst obtain that or nothing
His course 10 just the reverse Of the las. Ad
ministrs.ion. With them i, was the "ahols
Of Oregon or none," inscribed even upon
The banners Of tho preceding Presidential
contest. and boldly proclaimed in the insu.
gural address OF the President. The flame
and impotent" conclusion OF all that blus
ter has made mortified nation heartily sick
Of oil rash and vain,glorious declarations
The country has assurance. from the charsc'
ter OF Gen. Taylor and the wisdom OF bis
counssllors. that he will demand nothing
but what is right and submit. to nothing which
is wrong" II he is slow and deliberate in
coming TO his conclusions. he will be equal
ly slow in relinquishing them when formed
If he deals in no bravsdo. it is because h
is ono OF those men who prefer actions rathe
than words. and who. once nssumin, posi-

HANNIBAL AND ST. JOSEPH
.'#I RAIL ROAD. III
SURVEY COMPLETED.

We learn from the Hannibal presses
Of las, Thursday, that the survey of the
Hannibal and 81. Joseph Rail Road has
been completed, and the result will be
laid before Congress at an early day,
in order to facilitate grants Of land
along the route, so that its construction
may be commenced at an early day.
The report of the engineer was high.
Iy satisfactory, and the citizens of Han.
nibal, as we'll as along the route. are
in high spirits at the prospect Of on
early beginning of the work. The
Journal gives the opinion of the engi.
neer, TO the effect, tina. there is no line
ofthe same length in the United States,
having SO few impediments, so many
natural advantages for construction,
and which may be made so cheap. The
general fertility Of the country, the
abundance and fine quality of stone
coal, with evidence of other valuable
minerals, on the route, 10 q gain that is
fully endorsed.
The friends of this road--those i'm
mediately connected with it--deserve
great credit for their energy and liber.
atty. in having the route surveyed at
their own expense. and we trust they
will be fully rewarded. Let the press
and the people urge early and liberal
action upon the part of Congress in
behalf of the work.
