Pacific Railroad.

This Road has been principal sub.
;ect Of consideration in Congress for the
last week.
1t is greatly embarrassed by the null
tiplicity of projects submitted for it's
construction. and by the conflict Of local
interests in respect to the location of
the Eastern termini of the road. II will
be q gigantic undertaking. requiring the
employment! Of immense pecuniary
means and the. public lands proposed
70 be donated for its construction con-
stitnte fund ofincalculable amount for
profits and speculation. Hence there
are many competitors rushing into the
field who desire to secure the anticipa-
ted profits to themselves. Each bas his
own plan to propose. and these are al
ready 80 nume' GUS asto be embarrassing.
The Bill of Mr.. G vim is Objectionable
in creating q corporation to exist for
thirty years, with powers too gigantic.
and with monopolies too enormous to be
tolerated in this country, hating consoli~
dated power. The Senate Committee
10 which The different schemes were re"
ferred has reported a bill Of its own
through it's Chairman, Hon. Mr.. Rusk Of
Texas. 1t proposes the issue of thirty
millions Of dollars Of National securities,
redeemable at long period, TO be de-
voted, together with alternate sections
of six miles square of the public land,
to the construction Of the road. The
President of the United States is au-
thorized to cause surveys to be made.
and to select and designate this route Of
the road. and after receiving bids for its
construction. to let the job to the par
ties who propose the best terms and
guarantees to the Government. The
Government will by that plan, pay for
the road. and after its construction will
be its owner. Had it been proposition
of Henry Clay's and made at 9 former
period Of our National history, it would
have been assaiIed with all the virulence
of partizan malise. and condemned as
unconstitutional. But the times have
changed Mr.. Clay and his Wing CO ad-
tutors have fought through the battle Of
internal improvements. and now the doc>
trine for which they contended is endcr~
sed by sound Democratic Committee.
The most Objectionable feature Of Mr..
Rusk's bill is the almost unlimited dis
c, dictionary powers which it entrusts to
the President. Yet this very provi-
sion has the merit Of holding in check
The friends of conflicting routes. until
after the construction Of the road is pro-
vided for.
The subject is q momentous one.-

Not in the dewy morning,
Shall his cherished one arise.
When the sun begins his shining
In grandeur through the skies
Not when the flower uncloses.
And the bird awakes his strain,
Nor with bees amid the roses
Shall the loved ono wake again.

From what we have already said, it will
readily be inferred, that the great question OF
the present day is, the crushing out "-of abo-

slavery question shall no more distract our
