THE UNION.

The history Of the world affords no exam.
pie OF a nation arising in SO short a period
from such small beginnings, TO such heigh,
of greatness and glory, as has been attained
by these United States. No other population
on the globe, twenty millions in number, are
so generally prosperous, intelligent, and hap
py. Instead Of wasting our energies in fierce
and bloody wars, one State or section against
anoiher-ins,ead of imposing all manner of
restrictions and hndrances upon each other
we have lived together in harmony, CO.
operating in all matters Of joint concern, but
leaving the separate interests of each State
10 be managed in its own way. When we
call to mind the vast and immeasurabe sac
riices made by our fathers in laying the
foundations Of this great republic, we cannot
but admire their far reaching sagaciiy, nor
less the devotedness with which they laid
themselves and their all upon the altar of
their country. They felt that the prize for
which they contended was of inesimable
value, and therefore that no hardships or
sufferings, no expense Of blood or treasure,
were too great 10 be endured in such cause.

PROM HARRISBURG.
HARRISBURG, Feb. II, 1850,

HARRISBURG, req. ~, lSoO.
In the Senate yesterday, resolution was
taken up, relative 10 payment Of interest on
the loan made to the Danville and Po,isville
Railroad Company, and the sale Of the Rail.
road, when some disclosures we're made re-
la,ive to the affairs Of tha, Corporation, which
were any thing but credi,abc TO those impli.
Gated The condition Of the Company may
be imagined from the argument Of Mr.. Pack
er, who advocated the passage Of the bill, for
the reason that the Commonwealth had guar
anteed the interest on $500, 900 Of the bonds
Of the Company for 27 years-only IS years
Of the 81 have elapsed leaving II years yet
TO run. He con!ended, that BY an immediate
sale of the road, the liability Of the State
would be reduced to the amount for which
the road with its appurtenances would sell
under the hammer of the auc,ioneer-which
could not be less than $780, O,000-that sum
being fixed as the minimum value Of the
road in the bill under consideration. Five
per cent, or s120, 900, would be $4,000,
which, multiplied by II, would give s66, 900
as the sum actually saved TO the Common
wealth by the sale. The bill heretofore pas.
sed authorising the sale Of the corporate fran
chises of this road, requires the assent Of three
fourlhs Of the Bondholders before sale can
be had. Hitherto the bondholders have re-
fused their assent. The road is in state Of
utter dilapidation-ien miles at the Poi,sville
end have been totally abandoned, and the
iron sold. The Sunbury end extending abou,
twenty miles, wa. still in use, but could not
possibly las, another season wiihou, extensive
repairs. The bondholders had abandoned
the road, and like the "dog in the manger,"
would neither keep it up themselves, nor
permit il to be sold, and thus place it in the
hands Of those who would preserve it from
destruction. Mr.. Packer cautioned the bond
holders TO beware how they used their influ-
ence TO prevent the passage of this bill-f it
fail said he, they may perhaps knock at the
door of the Treasury in vain for their interest
The stock holders had no interest in the result
the company was hopelessly insolvent.
The bond holders, who have the State guar
antee, in,erpose and prevent a sale-,hey
receive their five per cent, whether the road
be abandoned or not Let them beware, OF
perhaps the Commonwealth may pause, and
inquire into the causes of their opposition.
