Senatorial Plumber.

We cut the following from the Baltimore CLIP
per:
1--WE see it charged in The Nev- York Tribune,
that, Notwithstanding the passage Of this act,
some members of the Senate actually charged,
and received payment for, constructive mileage,
in attending the called session of the Senate, al
though that body was organized 10 afew moments
after the close of the session Of Congress. We
must suppose, until evidence be exhibited in sup
port of The IriJuneS statement, that it has been
misnformed; for it can hardly be supposed, that
any Senator would make a claim in direct oppo.
stion to law, or that it would be allowed, if
made"
Why can't you suppose that the members Of
the Senate, with few honorable exceptions,
would take any money from the treasury without
right to il Is it the previous virtue Of the
gentlemen that inspires such confdencel But
the matter has nothing to do with supposition. 1t
is fact that nearly all the Senators have taken
that money and would do it again if they could get
q chance. There are degrees in corruption, and
the Senate has taken several of them.

Reply.

Our correspondent proves himself alike
reckless, ignorant, impudent and blunder-
ing. Let us show him how and why.
In the first place, he has no right to as
sail the fidelity and capacity of public otfi-
GERS as he does without giving his name
True, we warn our readers that his charge
is good for nothing for want Of respon-
sible voucher; but that does not Justify
him in making it. Any man who will at
tack public officers in this way, yet shield
himself from responsibility behind mask
is certainly a coward, and probably ca
lumniator.
Next, he utterly mistakes and misstates
all IRE have said on the subject. We have
never affirmed that the Census takers have
discharged the duty with especial accura-
CIV. for on that point we are unihtormed.-
What we did say was in substance this -
that the plans, schedules, blanks, &C., pre-
pared at the central office for the taking of
this Census were decidedly superior to any
ever before devised-calculated first to Sc
cure fulness of information and accuracy on
the part of the takers, and afterward to at
ford the means of correction should any er-
rors be made by them. This is what we
have stated, and it is strictly true.
And now we say that if there be persons
residing at No. 178 FultOn-st. end in other
houses of our City on the lst of June last
who were not enumerated by the Census
takers (which we do not believe,) Truth
has only to specify the numbers Of che
houses so omitted, sign his at tho bot
tom of his charge, and transmit It to Jo-
seph G. C. Kennedy Superintendent of the
Census, Washington, D. c." and in three
minutes after its receipt Mr.. X. will ascer-
tain infallibly whether his charge is true or
false; and, if it prove true, he will have
the Census of the Wards in which the er-
rOrs are shown to exist retaken at the ex-
pense of those whose negligence or inca
pacity caused the error. This is what the
arrangements for the present census pro-
vide for and secure, while those of ne form
er Census did so. Can Truth compre-
bend it? Ed.

have formally endorsedit; and large party
in Congress have been in its favor
Dependent altogether on his own pecuniary
resources, Mr.. Whitney, without compen-
sation or assistance, has labored with con-
stancy and fidelity which could only pro-
coed from great purpose. But after this
period of arduous exertion he has failed to
carry his plan through Congress, while
great part of the lands on which ne must
depend for its execution, have already passed
from the control of the federal Legislature.
Accordingly, though he would greatly pre-
fer that his own country should reap the
splendid harvest of honor and substantial
power which the building of this Worlds
Highway. would assure, he has no choice
but to consider the means which may De
offered him for king it through British
America. To the world at large the con-
sequences would be the same, although to
the United States very different.
The route through British America Is,
in some respects, even preferable to that
through our own territory. By the former
the distance from Europe to Asia is some
thousand miles shorter than by the latter.
Passing close to the northern shore of Lake
Superior, traversing the watershed which
divides the streams flowing toward the Arc
tic Sea from those which have their exit
southwark, and crossing the Rocky Noun
tains at an elevation some three thousand
feet less than at the South Pass, the Road
could here be constructed with comparative
cheapness, and would open W a region
Astounding in valus .1per and other
natural products, anu admirably suited
to the growth Of grain and to grazing.
Having its Atlantic seaport at Halifax and
its Pacific Depot near Vancouver's Island it
would inevitably draw to it the commerce
of Europe, Asia and the United States.
Thus British America, from a mere colo
NAL dependency, would assume control
ling rank in the world. To her other ma
tions would be tributary, and in vain would
the United States attempt to be her rival ;
for we could never dispute with her the
possession Of the Asiatic commerce or the
power which that confers.
Bat the matter reaches beyond the
suggestions Of national interest, and has a
wider scope than the mere sentiment of
patriotism. We have hoped that this
Republic mi ght make the easy effort ne
cessary to grasp a prize so magnificent,
but we shall hail with satisfaction the
actual commencement of such a work
wherever and by whOmsoever it is under

The Whig 'UItimaium.'


The Tyoy Wing In a controversy with The Tribune, re-
speeding "uimaiums7 The Tribune charged that the ST.
yer Gray section OF Whggery offered to support Mr. Fsh
for Senator II the Legislature would endorse the Com
promise The Troy Wing ignores this, but mentions that
an umaium held out the other side, to the follow
ing effect:
1t WIS., that II Mr.. Fillmore would turn John Young and
Hugh Maxwell out Of Office and give the Regency the
troll Of the NeYork CustomH Juse they would agree TO
Puetiye Slave Law, and all. We need not say that

n We did not happen to note the
above in the Troy Wing so have to
thank The Express for a sight of it.
Of course, we cannot pretend to say
what sort of an ultimatium was or was
not proposed by Tom, Dick or Harry
but we do say that no person 'oas ever an-
hOri2ed by majority Of the Wing Mem
bers of the Legislature TO make any agree
ment pledging them 10 endorse the Fagitire
Stare Lar on any terms or for any conS'd-
Grafton 1ohaterer. We do not know who
are indicated by The Wing as q" the Re-
eency," who were to have "cOntrol Ofthe
New York Custom House" but if Wash
ington Hunt, Christopher. Morgan and
Thurlow Weed, or any of them, are in
cluded under this term, we ere sure that
any one who has ever represented them IS
willing to endorse the Fugitive Slave Law
in order to obtain control of our City Gus
tom House must be an Unreasonable liar.
There has been so mucn said of what
the Legislature does or do mt think OF the
Fugitive Slave Law, that we trust for
NAL, deliberate, lucid expression Of the
estimation in which that act is held by the
majority will be given before the adjourn
ment. We think little harm and much
good would come of it. But it is now so
late in the Session, with so many impor-
tant subjects requiring decisive action, that
we trust no part of the regular sessions-or
at most, no more than single day-will
be devoted to it. Let the morning session
be employed as usual, and let the Houses
reconvene at P. M. to hear aud sit out a
discussion on Compromise and Slave
Law Resolutions. When that discussion
shall have closed, we suspect there will
remain no room for further speculation as
to the non partiality of our Legislature for
man, hunting generally.

Asa Whitney and the Pacific Railroad.

Asa Whitney and the Pacific Railroad.
Among the passengers who left New
York in the Asia yesterday was Asa
WHITNEY, known to the people Of this
country as the originator and untiring ad-
vocate of grand schene for building
Railroad to the Pacific. He goes out to
Europe to confer with the English Govern
ment upon the subject, having long since
received authoritative limitations that his
plan would be cordially entertained in that
quarter with a view to its execution in
British America.
If we are not mistaken, it is now nearly
ten years since Mr.. Whitney first devoted
himself to his great project, and he has
pursued it with force of purpose, an in
telligent apprehension of all its bearings
and consequences upon the world, no.
bility of ambition, and a sustained, intel
lectual enthusiasm which belong to the
rarest and most admirable characters. We
40 not know in any country aman in whom
great intellectual and practical elements
are more happily combined. 1t is not
with the warm partiality of private friend
ship that we thus speak of Mr.. Whitney,
for, like all men of ideas, and all of nature
positive and deep enough to have special
mission in the world, he puts others
into relation with the thoughts which en-
gage him rather than with his own person.
atty, and you become Intimate with them,
not with him. A native as we believe, of
Connecticut, brought up to business in this
city, where he acquired a competence,
having conceived the idea of vaster and
more inspiring enterprise than the political
and Industrial world had ever attempted,
he quilted the pursuits of trade, and the GER
tain wealth they promised him, to perfect
and realize his conception. He studied the
great routes of the world and the causes Of
their adoption. In residence in Europe
and By voyages in the East he made him
self acquainted with the facts relating to
the trade and productive capacities of Asia.
He thoroughly surveyed and mastered the
whole subject before beginning its discus
sion. Then he proposed the scheme to his
countrymen and for many years has sought
exclusively to commend it to their favor.
He has travelled il every direction, ad-
dressing public bodies and meetings Of cit
jzers, writing newspaper articles and pam
phlets, and spsring no occasion to bring the
idea and the facts connected with it 10 The
knowledge Of all. Wherever he has gone
he has left some sparks of his own genial
enthusiasm. The plan has found advocates
in every section; many State Legislatures
