compel portion Of their followers to abandon
them for the sake of preserving the Union.
The PeansyIuanian pursues the same dis
ingenious system of tactics. Ii claims the
exclusive merit for the Democracy of Pennsyl-
vana of having ''voted for the important inca
sures of peace that contributed TO the settle
ment of the question" OF what Question 2"
OF the .squeston" that DAVID WmMoT, a
Pennsylvania Democrat, introduced--a ''ques-
ton" upon which MARTIN VAN buren,, another
Democrat, attempted to ride into the Presidency
upon--a Question" by which Mr.. CALHOUN,
Southern Democrat, endeavored TO achieve,
the cherished purpose OF his life, the disunion
of the Slates--a question upon which ma
jority of the Virginia Democrats voted i'll direct
opposition to these Pennsylvania preseVers of
the Union! The following language Of the
Pennsyipanian would be worthy of all com
mendation, except for the insidlous context,
which would pervertit TO party advantage: ''And
how has the decision of this great question
been received? With Joy and with thanks
giving. Throughout our whole Common
wealth it is hailed as an act of deliverence
and of peace. The brightest victory ever
achieved over a foreign foe never excited
more enthusiastic or more widespread re-
joicings Party teuds were forgotten in the
universal feiicitation that hailed IT,"
Indeed, we think, the Pennsyluanian has
every reason to rejoice in the settlement of
the question:" 1t is a question which owes its
existence to Democratic policy The annexa-
ton of Texas was the political sin that so
nearly brought death into our Eden. 1t was
the Mexican war, commenced by Democratic
President, and waged at cost of milions-it
was this policy which created the notifying
strife of brothers warning over the division of a
common patrimony. 1t was this piratical policy
which has created the excitement that the Penn
sy!ranian is so much delighted to see adjusted.
We rejoice with him, but with different sense
of our own responsibility. The Wings advised
against every measure in the atrocious series;
but they sustained the Government in all it's
action. They have sacrificed their party and
sectional prejudices to the good of the Union.
They have abstained from approaching their
opponents with Just responsibility for all
the difficulties which have resulted from their
policy. They have even, with commendable
modesty, abstained from claiming for the Wing
Administration the merit of settlement which
has been effected under its auspices, and with
its appreciation. But our Democratic antipodes
first stimulate the national difficulties, and then
claim the merit of their adjustment.

Florida Railroad.

The Senate, on the Goth, passed bill appro-
prating public lands 10 the construction Of a
railroad from Pensacola to Montgomery, in Al
| ALBANIA How magical is the influence of
| name. These States, which thus receive aid
from the Federal Government for the construc-
| ton of these Improvements, are classed in the
category of neU States they are so fortunate as
to contain within their limits public lands; they
ask that a portion of these lands be applied to
| render the remainder more valuable. Now,
these lands were purchased with the money of
| the old States, or won by their valor, and yet
there seems no device by which any portion of
them can be applied to the construction of their
improvements or to the education of their peo-
| pie. We observe, however, that a new prn-
ciple has been developed, by which the public
lands can be applied to the construction of rail-
roads within States in which there is no public
land belonging to the Federal Government.
The Chicago and Mobile Railroad" will be
| constructed through the State of Tennessee
a State in which there is no public land.
The section of the railroad passing through
| Tennessee will be made with the proceeds of
the public lands lying in Illinois and Ohio. We
perceive, moreover, that the bill granting lands
to the Florida railroad has been so amended
as to grant land to branch of the Florida rail
road running through Georgia. Now, Georgia
| holds no part Of the national domain, yet a por
ton Of the proceeds Of the public land in Florida
will be applied to the construction Of railroad
| in Georgia. We submit that the extension Of
the principle of applying public lands to the
construction of Improvements, 80 as to include
States which contain no public lands whatso-
ever, renders it matter of palpable absurdity
in the statesmen Of the old States to refuse to
participate in general application of the pub
lie land 1t s an act of palpable injustice to
exclude any Of the States from its benefits.
| We are gratified that this bill has passed the
Senate, because it will do something for the
cause of internal Improvements, and will afford
at least incidental protection to southern inter
ests,

FOR THE REPUBLIC.

The popular opinion in favor Of a steam navy,
and the many convincing arguments in favor of it,
have not made converts OF all who debate the ques-
tion and have interest in It.
Some time since was converting with one of
our "old captans." and in the course of converse
tion expressed hope that it would not be long
before We should have steam navy, which was Of
the first importance, to bring up to the great i'm
provements Of the age, and to enable to compete
successfully with those nations who were in ad-
vance Of US in the enlarged adoption of steam

instantly, and denounced ''thc whole thing as

We trust these denunciatons of the Free
apprehensions are unfounded; for whilst the
one condemns the adjustment because it Sc
cures 10 the North the political control over the
South, its Democratic opponent condemns the
adjustment because it does not secure TO the
North sufficient advantages, but gives part ''of
the finest region of New Mexico" and ten mil
lions of dollars, TO the South-advantages it
must be admitted, OF very substantial charac-
ter. We trust, that as the end Of the Union is
not yet, the political Millertes who have
been 50 long foretellng its dissolution will ex-
change their ascension robes for some more use
ful garments, and abandon forever calling
which is alike visionary and pernicious.

We suppose il will not be denied that the
late measures Of pacifcation were the work Of
the patriotic men Of both parties. 1t was an
union of the conservatives for the sake Of the
Union. We have kept no account Of the exact
contributions Of each party 10 this great object
because we never expected TO insist upon our
own superior patriotism as a merit, nor t.
condemn our opponents for any want Of devo-
ton to the common interest. We have not
spared those who intcrposed obstacles to ad-
justment, but have visited with an impartial
condemnation all those extremists without re-
gard 20 their party associations We have
not temPorlzcd, but have stood boldly for tho
Union, and against its enemies. But the Lo-
coiocos seem to have no ideas beyond the pro
motion of their own party. They manifest
no gratitude for the salvation of the country
no abatement Of their malignant hostility to-
wards the Wings. They value the Union for
Its official salaries They are only willing to
cease their strife for fear the vessel and its trea-
sure should sink beneath them; 50 soon as the
danger has passed, they not only resume their
warfare, but absolutely charge their opponents
with being responsible for the tempest which
has threatened with wreck the political fortunes
Of al.
We laYsy reviewed an article in the Union
which cfxmed that the Northern Democrats
were the best friends of Southern institutions.
We then undertook TO show that when VAN
BUREs, WILMoT, and WENTWORTH had de-
voted their energies to Frees agitation,
1t was in vain to say that the vote of a
portion Of the Northern Democracy for pacifca-
ton atoned for the mischief done by these emf
nent Locofocos. Indeed, it would seem that the
danger into which the Union was brought by
their talents and influence was 90 great as to

Naval ECnuOIEY.

The debate in the House on Friday and Sat
urday, on the Naval Appropriation hill, directed
attention to the great practical importance Of
supplying the boilers of seal going steamers
with fresh water. An effective apparatus thai
will answer this purpose will save large sum
to the Government, annually, in diminishing
the consumption Of fuel, and preventing the
destruction Of the boilers. In this view there
was not much good sense in Directing to its
use on the ground that the money that might
be paid for it would come out of the pockets of
the people. Some men seem 10 imagine that
every thing paid to inventors for Improvements
that save or make money for those that use
them, is so much actual loss. Mr.. BowLIN
argues that the people are cheated by paying
one dollar to save five.
We apprehend that the amount proposed to
be appropriated TO test the several marine con-
denscrs now before the Department will be al
together inadequate. Let the Government SET
about the matter in earnest, and, having demon
strated the superiority Of one OF the other of the
inventions, remunerate the author by liberal
proportion Of the actual gain to the service. If
the Government is in possession of the means
Of ascertaining which is the best apparatus,
there seems to be no good reason for withhold
ing the authority necessary for its immediate
application.

Sir Robert Peel's Papers.

We find, in the London Times Of the Both
ult., an abstract of the contents Of the will OF
SIR ROBERT PEEL, and its codicils. The third
codicil, which is dated the Oath Of March,
lS49, touches the disposition Of his papers, and
is important and interesting.
BY this codicil the testator bequeaths in
trust TO Lord MAHos and EDWARD CARD
WELL, Of Whitehall, NJ. p, all his unpub-
lished letters, papers, and documents, whether
in print or manuscript. This collection of let
tiers and papers includes the whole Of his conf
Dental correspondence from 1912 TO his de-
cease, during a considerable portion Of which
period he was employed in the service Of the
Crown, and when not so employed took an ac-
tive part in parliamentary business. The will
gives full discretion TO the trustees, with re-
spect 10 publication, both as TO matter and time;
IN the assurance ''that no honorable confidence
shall be betrayed, no private feelings be unne-
cessarily wounded, and no public interest inju-
riously affected in consequence of premature
or indiscreet publication"
Especial anxiety is expressed that no portion
Of his correspondence with the Queen or Prince
ALBERT should be made public use Of during the
life Of either, without previous communication
with parties who may be enabled TO ascertain
that there is no objection to such use on the part
Of either them. Authority sgiycn to the trus
tees to sell or dispose Of the copyright Of any
OF the documents in question, fairly the subject
Of copyright, and to apply whatever may re
suit from such sale, after paying the expenses
Of publication. to the assistance or relief Of
persons who are or have been engaged in the
pursuits Of art, literature, and science or in aid
Of institutions established for their relief or
benefit.
The codicl directs that the trustees shall.
with all convenient speed after his decease,
collect and examine the letters, papers, and
documents in question, bringing them in the
first instance to London. II then authorizes
the trustees to give any or all Of them to the
State Paper office, or the British Museum. or
any other institution of the like nature. upon
such arrangements as may be satisfactory. The
residue, not otherwise disposed Of, to be per-
manently deposited at the mansion-house of
Drayton Manor.
