NIKE w JOLLY, OR ARE w NOT E
That the wisest and best men omctimes
disagree was first remarked, We believe,
by celebrated Roman Consul; hut its
truthiulness has received It's latest illus
tration in the case Of two eminent living
statesmen, each OF VIII ,m is willing to be
IN American Consul after the Roman
model. Messrs. Cess and Buchanan
have each recently made public ex-
preston Of their views of the conditions
and prospects Of the Democratic party
from which we make the following ex-
tracts:
Gol. Cass in a ienu TO Mr.. Buchanan %
young men Of Baltimore. friends in Baltimore.
"The political pros "If rightly read thc
poets are so brigh that signs Of he iimcs,'
they cannot hut add to there has seldom been u
the social pleasure OF the period when the Demo-
evening for the decree cratic party of the coun-
has gone forth that the try, 10 which you and
next Administration Of are warmly attached,
the General Government was IN greater peril than
must I've in the hands Of at the present moment"
the Democratic party"
Now, the question is, is the Demo-
cratic party in peril, or is il not? Are
we Jolly, or are we not !?
If the various candidates for the Pres
idency will give the public their opinions
upon this critical question, il will faciI-
tate the selection for q candidate. II we
read the signs OF the times right, no
man can be nominated AT Baltimore who
is not sound upon this question. A gen.
erous latitude will be allowed on every
other, but there must he no dodging the
issue here presented by these two emi-
nent statesmen. Is the Democratic par
ty Jolly. or is it not ?--New York Erening

RAILROADS In ILLINOIS.

A correspondent of the Era in Southern Hill
nois gives us glimpse at the railroads there,
now and in t,tpe.-Ed. Era.
The railroad Of commanding Importance IN
this State will be the one designated as Cen
trail The main trunk extends from the juno
ton of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, due
4sf..''!E-,, ..ii1.sggFFi ..teE.g ) o. - ~
the southern tsrninus of the llhuW - set-...-
gan canal. From that point the northwest
branch extends TO Galena-the Chicago
branch, dverging from the trunk at point
midway between Cairo and Peru, traversing
the eastern edge of the State. The Central
road, when completed, will be about seven hun
dred miles of railway, located within the terri
tory of Illinois. This road has been taken by
the weathiest capitalists in the United States,
who are bound to finish the whole i'll six years :;
the major part will be completed in three.
When the valley of the Lakes and the Gulf of
Mexico are connected by this chain Of rail
way, of which the Central road in Illinois is
the most important link, there will be no con-
tinuous line in the Union equal to it-forming,
as it WILL the connection between the network
OF eastern roads centering at Chicago, and
those Of the Atlantic board, converglng to
pOiIlb Nv NlODlle, Dut tIlS 10 Ouly Oio VI lnc
roads over which the Iron Horse will puff and
snort at the rate of thirty or forty miles per
hour. The Ohio and Mississippi thoroughfare,
which will connect the Queen City with st.
Louis, is located from Illinoistown, via Leba-
non, Carlisle, and Salem, to point opposite
Vincennes, Indiana, and will soon be under
contract, to be completed in three years. The
Rock Island and Lasalle route, terminating at
Chicago will be completed in due time The
Garden City has the cars running some fifty or
sixty miles towards Galena, on a route that will
terminate at the latter point, and will in this
way open up the whole interior of the north OF
the State for the benefit of the agricultursts.
From Alton the cars are under way towards
Springfield. from which the road is to extend
due north to Bloomington, at which point it
will intersect the Central road These are but
the important routes, all of which are either
under process of construction, or on the eve OF
breaking ground, without danger of failure.
These constitute merely the main arteries of
the State, and will rapidly bring about state
of things that will send the locomotive painting
and whining into all the interior; for the sim
pie reason that many sections will be too dis
tant from the thOroughiares to reach them
conveniently. But having heightened out this
epstle beyond what intended, | will leave
what have to say further on this and kindred
subjects for subsequent scrawls.
