efforts for the acquisition Of an independ-

comes the test which shows whether a

solved by the Hudson River Railway, that railroads
cannot only compete with steamboats,, but almost
persede them, with the travelling public when run
ming side by side, it would seem 10 admit of no
doubt but that railways must prove eminenly sue

Texas Boundary.

We regret TO learn that Gov. Bell has vetoed the
bill passed at the recent session of the Legislature
submitting the proposition of Congress TO establish
the boundary of Texas and TO pay her, as an indem-
nifty for her claim on New Mexico ten millions.
Governor Bell is opposed TO the whole settlement.
He contends that the State has constitutional right
10 ALLEVIATE any portion of her Territory. We trust
the sober second thought of the people, will induce
the Legislature TO pass this measures by the Consttu
tonal majority over the Executive veto. The prop
ostion is liberal TO Texas A compromise honour
able TO the parties-and we hope Texas will be gov
erned by the dictates of reason and not heed the adj
vice of hot headed and headed disunoniss, who
would like to put Texas in the front Of the battle,
and then profit by her ruin and disgrace.

At,antic and Pacific Railroad.

Our Readers win recollect, that some years ago
the indefatigable Mr.. Whitney, set on foot a
grand project of connecting the Atlantic with
the Pacific by railway, 10 at the West end
of Lake Michigan, 10 be constructed by means of a
sixty mile strip of public lands, to be conveyed 10
Mr. Whitney at nominal price for that purpose.
Conventions of delegates on the same subject were
hell last fall at Memphis and St. Louis, and this
spring at Philadelphia. During the recent session
Of Congress committees reported favorably on the
plan Of Mr.. Whitney. From all these proceed
ings we see that il is now conceded on all hands,
that it is expedient necessary, and practicable, to
construct the work but that the great difficulty the
way is the mans; how are they to be raised? Some
of the friends Of the plan Of constructing the work
by the Government, say that the whole of the public
lands should be appropriated, and if they should not
be sufficient construct the work, supply the def
cheney by an of Stocks and private subscrip-
tons The friends of the Whitney plan object TO
this, and seem 10 think that Mr.. Whitney can con-
sruct the work out of The proceeds Of strip of hr
~ miles of public lands each side of the road. 1t
seems TO us, with all due Difference 10 the opinion OF
Others that the mans, have not yet been found to
construct this gigantic work, costing by estimate not
than one hundred millions of dollars. Applying
the whole nett proceeds Of the public lands, fast
as sales can be made il would take thirty years
TO make the work, and allowing third much,
for The proceeds of strip thirty miles wide, il would
require about ninety years, suppose that no repairs
were needed in the mean time. We would gladly
see the work constructed and we feel confident that
some plan will yet be devised and carried out for
the accomplishment of an end that all seem TO desire
still in the meantime railroad is gradually progress
ing west by private companies, to the mouth Of the
Kansas river the point at which il was proposed al
the ST. Louis convention, the main trunk line should
commence. When the branches shall reach this point
so many interests will combine to extend the line
that the means will be found either by the govern
ment, private companies, with, or without the aid
OF the government. A work necessary and impor-
tant can never rest until it is constructed.

The Union Meeting.

The Auditor calls the union meeting held last sum-
mer in Indianapolis "Humbug." This meeting
was recommended by Governor Wright. He was
principally instrumental in getting it up. 1t met
with the almost universal appreciation of the Demo-
cratic party and bad the concurrence of the union
loving wings all over the State. Governor Critten-
den was the invited guest of worthy and efficient
chief magistrate. He treated with kindness and
hospitality. But the Auditor call the whole
concern humbug. Then Governor Wright. in his
estimation, must be the chief of humbugs. We pro-
test against these inSidious attacks. The Governors
motives were pure and patriotic. Motives which
have always marked his conduct both in public and
private life. But VIM. Lloyd Garrison, the High
Priest Of Aboltionism, has long since denounced
the Union as Humbug. Now the Democratic %
Auditor Of State the same language TO charac-
teriZe meeting for the preservation of it.

''We believe, however, that the Convention will have
power to elect its ofiicers-we don't think the leg
islature exercised such faherly care provide
single one for t--and among these officers think
there will be one called Printer, for the people will
certainly expect the proceedings &c., be printed.
''The conventions that have in other States
amend their respective Constitutions, have invariably
elected their Printer to the Convention, independent Of
the State Printer. And we think Convention
will do"
Thus reasons the Franklin Democrat, the Conven-
ton printing and it is the opinion of all that have
heard express themselves that have written the
subject The law making provision for the Convention,
has the following clause
'sThe delegates who shall be elected aforesaid,
shall assemble in convention the Capitol in the city
Of Indianapolis, the first Monday in October next and
organize by cectng president and all other necessary
officers"
That printer is necessary officer" to the Conven
ton, will deny, but his office. unlike that of
Governor, Secretary Of State &c. is not Constitutional
ly created but is created by the body that has for
him in the way that the Office of Clerk, door,
keeper is created; and their Of Office is fixed by
the body electing them.
OF Convention will elect their printer
