Of refuge afforded by Richmond Island, near Cape
Elizabeth, he visited that place on Saturday last,
and has given directions proceed with the TRAN
gulation OF il. Typographical and hydrayraphi-
cal parties will follow Immediately, and If the
weather during the fall proves favorable, all the
material necessary for complete chart Of this inn
portsnt harbor will bs obtained before winter sets
in. A chart win thus be furnished TO nAvigators

Rail Road to the Pacific.

WHO ARE TO DE MR.. ASA wHITNEY's AssIGNsi
am told that committees in both Houses have
reported bills to authorize Mr.. Whitney to make
a road from such point on Lake Michigan TO such
point on the Pacific as he or his assigns may de-
signate, and granting to him and his assigns at
ten cents per acre, thirty miles of the public lands
on each side of the road. sT
Such a road as he is required to make, may be
made for fifteen thousand dollars per mile, but say
that will average 500 900 per mile, and that the
road will be 1900 miles IN length, then the cost
will be SAC, 900 900. .a
Let us see what the value Of the lands will be.
Col. Child, the engineer Of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, estimates the increased value of the
land on each side of that road at FIVE dollars per
acre for the first tier Of sections, and gradually di
nnishes his estimate of the increased value on
each successive tier Of sections for thirty miles
Congress have always assumed, that land is
doubled in value by these improvements. IL we
assume that the land is worth two dollars and
6fy cents per acre, this would give $I54 1000 600
Deduct cost of the road, 100000 600
And Mr.. Whitney and his assigns
would divide as profit NJ SlI4, 900
the land alone, to say nothing OF other contin-
gencies. y btf B-naN
But he is authorized to locate the road and make
one city on Lake Michigan, one city on each bank
of the Mississippi, one city on each bank of the
Missouri, and one on the Pacific, to say nothing
of towns on the whole line Of the road. What
will Mr. Whitney and his assigns take for this
item 3E rl} sFaE Of 5sE
But this is not all. The bill authorizes Mr..
Whitney and his assigns, to select any other pub
lie lands in any State territory in lieu of all
such lands as NAV have been previously appropri-
ated within thirty miles Of the line Of his road,
how many town sites, gold, silvers, copper, and
other valuable mines and mineral would this
grant enable Mr.. Whitney to takei What part
of the gold mines of California and Oregon would
Mr.. w. and his assigns leave for others' We re-
peat who are to be Mr.. Whitney assigns?
Let us estimate what Mr.. Whitney will have to
distribute as profits between himself and these
assigns.

funds between them'

nor should the South ever be satisfied with il.
II is wholesale swinde upon her portion of
the California territory, to say the least of il
aud the South should never rest satisfied until
il is restored, or she is cut loose from the rds-
cally concern altogether.
From the Riehmsnd Eraaiser,
Texas is dismembered. Slave territory is
joined to that which the dominant party, with
Mr. Clay at its head, declare to be by nature
and by Mexican law, frec-soil forever The
game has come to the checkmates The principle
is established. The Constitution is no more.
People of the South. $50
You have no voice in the
government of this country, save at the grace
of a Northern majority. Your rights are those
retain.
Avarice and venalty, Yankee greed
and hate, and Southern corruption and imbecility,
have manacled and paralyzed a powerful and
courageous people. You are freemen no more.
Your are conquered, subjected and enslaved.--
Your lands, and the product of your labor, are
no longer the property of yourselves and your
children. At best, you are the foremen and
middemen between the cotton lord and the
negro bondsman.
On this point we have never seen our views
so well expressed as by the Richmond Enquirer.
In an article published February 5th, 1850, upon
Mr.. Ciays Resolutions of Compromise of the
Senate,' we find paragraph which we will take
the liberty Of borrowing
"Mr. Clay, in his hot haste to propitiate the
North, boldly advances upon the rights of Texas,
and, despite her treaty of annexation, and the
faith plighted to her therein spite of the treaty
with Mexico, in which her boundaries are accu-
rately defined and solemnly settled-he cuts "a
huge, great cantle out big enough to make a
State larger than all New England--and this
plundered and disnembered portion of a sover-
eign and independent slape State Mr.. Clay pro-
poses to embrace in that territory acquired by
the United States from the Republic of Mexico
and achich he declares rs country ,chere Slavery
