The Qnitmnn Farce.

Mr.. Hunton, the Attorney Of the United States
forwarded copy Of the indictments against Gen
Quitman and Judge Smith, to the Attorney for the
Southern District Of Mississippi, with instructions
to procure the proper authority from the Federal
Judge for the arrest of these gentlemen. He, how
ever instructed the Attorney to ascertain If those
gentlemen would voluntarily appear in New Orleans
within any reasona bic tame to be fixed he would
not provoke their arrest Gen. S2usssaa4. after a
consultation of several months, declines to appear
until his term Of office expires, which is year from
January Judge Gholson refuses to issue tie
proper serit, and the power Of the Court of the
United States is TINS nuied II, instead of being
charged with mere misdemeanor, the offence were
one OF the gravest known to the law, this excuse
would equally apply. 1t follows then, that Gov
ernor Of State may commit any crime against the
laws Of the United States, and so long as the peo-
pie choose to elect him Governor, he is not amen
able to the jurisdiction Of the Federal Judiciary
Thus, if person holding the Office of Governor Isl
charged with eounterfeiting, or stealing from the
post-otfice, robbing the mail, or any other high
crimes he is 70 go unwhippedof justice, But why
the Govsrnor alone Does not the same exemp-
ton apply as well to u Constable Has not this
officer also duties to perform to his State
In vain we look in the statutes to find any pro-,
vision which exenpts either Governor OF Constable
from answering TO the laws. We have always sup
posed that in the eye Of the law all men stood
equal. But it is left for democratic Governor to
teach the people that office shields man from legal
responsibility. Gen. Quitnan, doubtless, enter
tains these opinions. He can leave Mississippi
with propriety and visit New Orleans on planta-
ion affairs, but he cannot spare equal time to
stand his trial. lest, forsooth, some present bust

RAILROAD TO THE PAoFIo,-On Monday, the
10th, Mr. Benton introduced, in the u s. Senate,
a bill to provide for the location and construction Of
a central national highway consisting of railroad
and common road from the Mississippi river, at
st Louis, to the Bay Of San Francisco, on the
Pacific Ocean, and to extinguish the Indian title to
the land along said highway, and to establish mill
tary posts and grant land to actual settlers thereon,
Mr.. B., in introducing this bill, explained its OBJ
ects and purposes, and the nature, character, and
Uses Of the road contemplated He showed its
nationality by its centrally, andits forms and uses,
end its adaptation to all the known modes of travel
To those with whom money was nothing and
Time every thing, there would be the speedy means
Of travel afforded by the railroad To those with
whom time was nothing and expense every thing,
there was the good and broad road common high
way There might be also plank road con-
structed if desirable. The main road would be a
straight one through TO the Pacific, with branches
to the right and to the left That to the left would
lead to Santa Fe, the other to Oregon. The main
road would be on strip of land one hundred miles
wide and would be from ST. Louis to the Pacific, and
would be sixteen bundredmles long. The branches
would beson a reserved strip of land fifty miles in
width, that TO New Mexico about two hundred and
sixty miles, and that Oregon about five hundred
miles in length The Whole number of acres Of
land reserved for the purposes Of the road would
be about one hundred and fifty millions OF acres.
The revenue arising from the sales of the public
lands in the Territories through which this national
road was to ron to be applied to its construction
His bin proposed that the road should be free from
tolls, except such as would be necessary TO keep
the road in repair. The bill was twice read, and
referred to the Committee on Roads and Canals.

THE TEXAS BOUNDARY AoT The President,
on the 18th instant, communicated to the two
Houses of Congress copies of the act of the Texas
Legislature accepting on the conditions specified,
the proposition Of the United States Government
in regard to the boundary line between that State
and New Mexico. The President thus closes his
brief message on this subject:
81 cannot refrain from congratulating Congress
aud the country on the success Of this great and
difficulties felt, and the dangers apprehended from
the vast acquisitions of Territory under the late
treaty with Mexico, seem now happily overcome
| by the wisdom of Congress Within that Territory
there already exists State respectable for the
amount Of her population, distinguished for singu-
lar activity and enterprise, and remarkable, in many
respects from her condition and history This
new State has come into the Union with manifes-
tatons not to be mistaken Of her attachment to that
Constitution and that Government which now
embrace her interests within their protecting and
4 bene6cent control
g Over the residue of the acquired Territories,
| regular Territorial Governments are now estab-
lshed, in the manner which has been usual in the
| history Of this Government. Various other acts oil
| Congress may undoubtedly be requisite for the
benefit as well as for the proper government o.
these so distant parts of the country. But the same
| legislative wisdom which has triumped over the
principal difficulties and accomplished the main
end may be safely relied on, for whatever measures
may YET be found necessary to perfect its work; 81
that the accession of these vast regions to the
| United States may rather strengthen than weaker
| the Constitution, which is over us ALL and of the
Union, which affords such ample daily proofs of it,
nestimable value. MILLARD FILLMORE"
