to the bridge across the Mississippi aud stating
that not single drawbrdge will be required
upon the entire line. Tho established fact thai

The Lone Star order.

Young Americanism, although the growth
Of a soil essentially republican. is of that ex.
pansive, far reaching character, which illu-
mines the hopes and awakens the enthusiasm of
all nations where elements Of kindred nature
are smouidering. Especially does Young A.
merica find sympathetic spirit in the adven.
turers Of Europe, who have lost home and house
hold in the unequal strife of prince and peas
ant and in the yet unfaltering hearts of the
oppressed and imperilled in every quarter of
the globe.
It's Lot enough that our Republic may
proffer them liberty and an abode, never en-
joyed before. but they must seek herein those
instrumentalities, by which to carry on and
out, their radical schemes of progress and po-
litical disenthrallment.
Hence has our country become not only the
refuge bnt the rendesross, Of those restless
spirits whose whole life seems intent upon
certain ends, glorious in tho abstract, butt ca
pable of contamination, only by the most ques-
tionable means. Here has union sprung up
with Young America, and combination re.
suits. which is the only dangerous element in
our political organization.
Cuba must be arrested from the hands oil
the Spanish oppression. The law of nations
must be trampled under foot, for the ostensi.
BILE purpose of extending the area of freedom.
The Sandwich Islands must be annexed. The
end is desirable, therefore why question the
means7 Why wait for the dilatory measures
of "Old Fogy ISM" while an intrepid band
stands ready and eager for the immediate a.
chievement of the object
Love of adventure. the excitement of hazard
the nnremitting fervor of an enthusiasm which
foments recklessness of consequence, hardy
ambition, well concealed lust of gold, a high

II will require very different timber from this
to build the Pacific road. There is not what
may bestcrmed first class name in the whole
list, nor a person calculated to command the
confidence Of that class Of men who are to
build the road. There are on the other hand
such sprinkling Of politicians and spectators
"a to throw doubt over the real intentions OF
the parties, and lead to the belief, that they
have a very different object than the one set
forth. At least one half of the directors must
step aside before they can secure the confidence
of the public. or the cooperation OF capitalists.
Such being the fact, it may be as well to say
SO 1t once. Under the present lead, the COM
pany will make themselves ridiculous, and be
equally powerless before the country and
Congress. No company can succeed in this
work without the efficient aid and support OF
both. The more this company parade them
selves before the public, the sooner will they
be laid on the shelf. They do not even con-
stitute respectable vanguard Of the army that
is to follow to fight the battle. The latter
does want their services, will not follow their
lead, and will be Indifferent, even, whether
they are found in the ranks; SO That ihe Pacific
Company may make themselves as happy as
possible over the subject Of . railroad to theil
