SENATE.

Mr.. Douglass presented the petition of Hem
ry O'Reilly, proposing to establish line Of
Communication by mail and telegraph, from the
Mississippi river to The Pacific ocean.
Mr.. Douglass said that the petition had not
asked for money or donation Of land, but SIM
ply that his line may be protected by military
posts of Government. As military posts have
been employed in that country, he asks, that in
stead Of being placed in large bodies, they Haaag
be put in sections OF twenty miles apart; detaeh-
ments of each post would carry the mail, and
thus, the telegraph, mails, and emigrants, would
be protected by the same line Of military posts.

city, Of hs Directors of said railway from the Com
mssoners to purchase iron at New York Of the date
of the Goth February stating that contract made for
all the iron for said railway, the most favorable
This arrangement makes it certain that the Central
Railway will be completed in the shortest possible time.
II any Railroad in Indiana may be regarded Of the first
class, this is certainly of that class and such

profitable stocks. The very fact that in less Than
year from the nearly the line has
been put under and the iron procured is evidence
Of the high estimation in which this road held by tho
most intelligent both at home and abroad.
We understand that it is she intention of the Directory
to push the grading to have large portion Of
track laid and in running order by the coming fall.

The people of this country have reelected a
wing President.
They have elected two wing administrations in

cratic candidate receiving the of the States carried
by the democracy in 1S4S would be elected Since that
time the democrats have fully carried New York, Penn
sylvania. New Jersey, Rhode Island and Delaware in
the gubernatorial election. MARYLAND, North Carolina
Kentucky, Massachusetts and Connecticut and in the
Congressional election Tennessee-al of which States
voted for General Taylor.
Meantime the wings have carried, in the guber-
material election, single State in the Union which
gave democratic majority in 1S4S except Wisconsin,
which is regarded surely democratic in 1852
An offset to this loss is also given by the admission Of
California which is also democratic.
That the democratic party, therefore, will triumph in
the coming Presidential canvass, appears to he
tain as that they will exist national organization

strength and success. The Convention manifested
strong disposition adopt the doctrine Of rotation in
Office, consequently many Of the nominees men,
This principle of rotation has been engrafted our

adopted. Whatever differences Of opinion may have
existed let them all be buried with the past. Remem-
