Pacific Railroad.

The London daily news in commenting upon
the proceedings of the Convention held at St.
Louis in reference to this improvement, speaks
of the work and of its pro- ectors in the follow
ing terms:
''There are those this side of the Atlantic,
who are disposed to laugh at the undertaking, as
one of too gigantic nature to be nationally en-
tertained. But such are alike ignorant both of
the character and the necessities of the Ameri-
can people We here are apt to regard as gi-
| gantlc, the undertakings which they are compel
led to contemplate as necessary. The scale Of
art must conform itselfto that ofnature. Whilst
we connect together the Forth and the Clyde,
what the Americans have to do is to unite the
Delaware with the Mississippi In .7anerico, an
improvement, to he one, must be on great Scate;
and there are some who may think that, in more
ways than one, it is country in which there is
room for improvement.
''Viewing it in practical point Of view, the
undertaking is certainly not one beyond the en-
ergies of great people. The proposed road
will have to pass through an extensive desert, it
is true, and will have to penetrate one of the de-
files OF the Rocky Mountains, ere it de-
sccnd upon the Pacific. 1t is evident that the
land needed will not be wanting. AS for timber,
the country for some hundreds of miles back of
the Mississippi, is fertile and we'll wooded For
the rest of the road the timber can be carried
frcm this district over such portions of it as is
constructed through it. The iron required is in
the mines Of Pennsylvania at the source of the
Ohio, little above the junction Of which with
the Mississippi, the railway will have one of its
termini. What then is wanting The mate
rails, the object, and the will are there, and the
capital will soon be forthcoming.
"The only real difficulty in the way is one Of
constitutional bearing, but that may be easily
remedied. The general government has no
power to construct road through any State or
States, even with their consent. Fit had, the
different States would be willing enough to draw
upon the public purse for improvements within
their own limits. 1t can do what it pleases in
this respect, however, in any of the territories
of the United States With the exception of
that portion of it which would fall within the
State of Missouri, the whole of the proposed
line would be embraced within the national do
main, over which Congress has full power. AS
regards Missouri, the difficulty may be removed
by the State itself offering to construct the por-
ton of the road which will lie between her west
ern boundary and the Mississippi
When this great work is completed, America
will rapidly realise her destiny. The business
of Europe and Asia will then be negotiated on
her sol she will become the great exchange OF
nations, and the emporium ofthe civilized world

Had the author of the above commune alton
been open to conviction or as candid as ue have
been in treating the question Of corporation icen-
ses, be might have saved himself tho trouble of
appearing in print. Any candid man, willing to
yield point when satisfied Of its incorrectness,
would never have mentioned the word "mean'' as
used BY ourself, after the explanation we gave in
our last of the circumstances under which we
used it. Under the same circumstances we
would repeat il, aud could we forge explosives
thrice as indignant, would use them.
Weby no means accede TO the inuendoes and
insinaations contained in the first paragraph Of
the above, as its author seems to desire. II we
have stated anything but facts and truths, or per-
verted or exaggerated either, our correspondent
