Protest of sonthern Senators.

We copy from the eastern papers the following, which contains the gist of the protes; of some of the Southern Senators against the passage of the California Bnl
 "We dissent from this bill, and solemnly against it's passage, because in sanctoning measures so contrary 10 former precedeuts, to obvious policy, to the spirit and intent of the Constitution of the United States, for the purpose of excluding the slaveheldiug States from the territory thus 10 be erected into State, this government in effect de- clares that the exclusion of slavery from the terri tory of the United States is object high and important as to justify disregard moi only of all the principles of sou nd policy, but also of the Con stitution itself.
 "Against this conclusion we must now and for ever protest. it is destructive to the safety and liberties of those whose rights have been commit ed 10 our care, fatal to the peace and equality of the States which we represent, and must lead. if per- sisted ia. to the dissolution of that confedereey in which the slaveholding States have never sought more than equality, aud In which they will not be content to remain with iess.'
 The Protest was signed by Messrs Mason and Hunter of Va, Butler and Barnwell, of s. C., Tur- ney, of Tenn, Sonie, of La Davis. of Miss Atehison, of Mo, Morton and Yalee, of Florida.
 The motion to enter the Protest on the journals of the Senate was reiected--ayes 20, nays 24

Plank Roads.

Since the spirit ot improvement hss ss.@s4 dpon the citizens of many portions of our Slate, we will every endeavor 10 keep stirred up until it is manifested in some practical result. This we hope not far of, among ihe first acts of improvement to be desired IS the establishment of good roads, and of all the roads now in the Plank roads seem ,o be universally acknowledged 10 be the best. and for a wooden..conntry like ours, most undoubtedly the cheapest. The Etlitor of the New York Tribune, writing from Northern New York thus warmly eom- mands them.
 Let not close this has,y scraw without n- voking blessing tlle inventor of plank roads - Looking at one travelling if, cannot imagine how the world has contrived to blnndet on SO long without blundering into the making of them. The stretching from Rome 10 Watertown has dimiTi- ished the cost Of transportation thaB hsl and added ten 10 iweuty per cent 10 the value ot every arm. The toll it levies all belongs to and stays In the county; iravelisg is easy and sure at all sea- sons; and Wa,eItown IS now neaTerer New York than LewistOwn was two years ago. Railroads are excellent things-that from Rome 10 Cape Vincent. through Waiertown, shall be made weleoIne-but plank roads are for everybody, and should every where that railroads do not. They are cheap and profitable and greatly promotive of comfort"
