INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

We rejoice to know that the House of Represen

sections of land and the right of way for the con
struction of railroad from Chicago to Mobile.
" Mountains interposed
Make enemies of nations, who had else,
Like kindred drops, been mingled into one"
says the poet. who therein uttered political axiom
While State rights maintained it is also the duty
of the General Government to facilitate the inter
course between the different sections Of our Gov
ernment that thereby not only the mails may be
transported in safety, and munitions and ornaments
in time Of war; but that sectional feelings and inter-
ests may be amalgamatcd into the Union" In
this way our vast public domain will be thrown
open to public enterprise, and the whole people Of
the United States, as people, facilitated in the
purposes of location and settlement.
Congress has full power over the public lands,
as is shown in the fact that she has given them to
individuals like Lafayette, TO schools and colleges,
and to the soldiers of our for their services
under our national flag. These lands are designed
to be benefit to the whole nation, and we cannot
see how this nation-the United States-the
Union--can be more benefited than by grants for
the purposes specified in the bill aforesaid.
"Thirteen slaves and no hoops won't make a
barre" said an old cooper when the question was
whether the Confederacy of the States should be
strengthened into Union of the States. Let us
have all the hoops" necessary-the iron hoops of
our railroads, and all other means of constitutional
appropriations Of the public domain, so that the
North and South, the East and West, may not
only be bound together as one people, they are,
but every sectional feeling and interest should be
made to subserve the interests of the whole coun-
try. We have no offending member that can be
cut off; therefore, we must guard every member as
being Of our body.
1t is time for abstractionists to give up their
distractions, or debate them as matters of amuse-
ment, like the logicians of the old school when the
truth and enlargement of the Baconian philosophy
burst in upon them.-Baltinore Patriot.

Agricultural Statistic. OF MIR. Burke.

The Union Of the 9th ultimo contained a
communication accusing the writer Of a Aooriion
Of the second part Of the agricultural report pre-
viously published in this paper, Of an attempt
TO disparage the report Of his immediate prede-
ccssor, Mr.. BURKE. The special ground was
tho statement made in the recent report that
Mr.. BURKE had estimated the crop Of wheat in
Michigan at s. Is per bushel To this it was
replied that. although Mr. BuRKE in his table
giving the aggregate Of the various crops Of the
United States had put tho value Of 81 10 upon
the wheat crop, yet that he had given state
mcnts m other portions of his report showing
that the value Of the wheat Of Michigan at the
places Of its production was much less. Inas-
much as the only reference to Mr. BURKE's
valuations and estimate Of quantities was made,
in the report Of this year incidentally and in the
way Of excusing the attempt to make such esti-
mates from the want Of reliable data. and we
bad called attention TO the report as showing the
degree Of credit to be attached to such estimates.
and thus very probably called down upon its
author the Indignation Of the. writer in the
Union, We felt called upon to say a word in his
vindicatOn.

charge with fat denial Neither Mr.. Ew-

Of suggestion or otherwise, with the article in

writer in the Southern Press, over the
signature Of Randolph Of Roanoke" gives
the first Of a series Of cpistles on the right Of
secession. In il he refers to remarks " ours
upon this subject. in a manner which would in
dictate that We had opened the discussion The
fact is, that, with the exception Of a single ar
ticle commenting on Mr. RHErr's speech, we
said nothing upon the point, except in reply to
interTogatories propouuded 10 Us by the South
ern Press, and in rejoindcr 10 It's remarks upon
such reply. The object in all that we have
had 10 say in this discussion with the Southern
Press has been, 10 repel the arguments by
which it endeavoTod 10 maintain the position
that secession by one or more States would
per Sc dissolve the Usion between those which
did not participate in the movement; TO show
that "the United States" would remain. al
though several States should cease 10 be
numbered among the constituents Of the Gov
eminent or COniederacy, bearing that title.
We started with the assumption that, in some
way OF other, one or more Of the States should
have constitutionally effected secession, not
by any means intending 10 admit that It could
be done-the consideration Of that point was
waved-but simply to show that, if it were
done, the consequences anticipated by the South
erH Press would not follow.
Randolph" is mistaken when he states that
the Republic has day by day contained "homilies
against the right Of secession" There has been
but one article in the Republic denying that
right. The "deep concern" therefore, with
which he has been affected by the subsequent
articles can only have arisen from the tendency
Of our remarks 10 show that the assertion Of the
right, if it does exist, will practically fail 10
accomplish what its advocates hope and design.
As TO the inference that these articles, or any Of
them, were to be regarded as "oracular reveal
ings Of the foregone judgments and purposes Of
the Administration" having answered Ran
dolph's object as a reason in part for address
ing his letters 70 the President Of the United
States, he will care little FOR the unequivocal de-
NAL which we feel bound TO make, rather be-
cause VIC might seem to have evsded it if not
given, than because We suppose any person will
imagine that there is any ground for it, or be
cause we have not heretofore in a comprehensive
way negatiyed every intimatiop Of that charac-

! The bill providing for the admission of Cal
fornia into the Union, as a State, was yestor-
| day ordered to be engrossed in the Senate by a
vote of 80 TO 10. As this may be regarded as
test vote, the bill will probably pass It's final
reading in that body to-day, by about the same
majority. The boundaries of California re-
main as prescribed in her CONSTITUTIONAL at
tempts to alter or restrict them having been
voted down.
Thus will the Senate, since the failure of the
Compromise bill, have promptly taken up and
passed the two most important measures en-
braced in it, 1t is to be hoped that in the
House of Representatives those measures
will be acted upon with the like promptitude
and despatch. Which shall be taken up and
acted on first is question about which some
diversity of opinion will no doubt be found to
exist; but as both cannot be considered and
passed upon at once, we trust that no serious
difficulty will be suffered to arise by any con-
tention as to the order in which they shall be
taken up. 1t is with great Difference that we
venture to make any suggestions in regard
to matter like that; but we may, perhaps,
be permitted to say, without giving offence,
that we kn0,c it is the opinion of gentle
men of great legislative experience, and who
are now, and have been from the begin
ming, fast friends to the prompt admission
Of California, that, under all the circums tances
of the case, it will be the wisest course to take
up the Texas boundary bill. and act upon it at
ha 10 IL
friends of that measure want, and what they
think the best interests of the country require,
is prompt action on the part of the House of
Representatives. They do not ask for it the
support Of any member who thinks it would be
inconsistent with his duty TO vote for it. All
that they ask is that it may be at once
taken up, andsfnally passed upon. In view
of the fact that the agreement of Texas is re-
quired by the first section of the bill to be given
to the propositions contained it, by the first day
Of December next, the great Importance, and +,
indeed, urgent necessity of immediate action
upon it by the House must be apparent to
every one. We hope, then. that the friends of
these two great measures may come 10 an un-
Outstanding with each other on the subject Of
the order in which they shall be taken up; and
if they, as we think they probably will, upon
reflection, agree TO take the Texas boundary
bill up first, that they will do so with the unal-
terable resolution Of firmly but quietly sitting ii
o'a until the matter is finally determined one
way OF the other. So, also, with the Califor-
MIA BILL and such other measures as il may be
deemed indspensably necessary to pass before
Congress adjoums. BY this course Of proceed
ing, the abors Of the present protractcd and ex-
citing session may, in our humble opinion, be
brought to an early auspicious and happy close
