gress regardless of the general interest an'
without reference 10 the most feasible route
| and influenced by sectional views, have endeav
| ored to take, as it were, snap Judgn'ent, ano
get Congress committed to their fayorite pro
| iect and in such a manner, that once begun
TO carry it through to completion, would ABSORB
the whole revenue of the country for years to
come and this, too, before any surveys should
be made determining the shortest ana most
feasible route MIR. Chase has felt IL MS auty
to oppose all such selfish projects, ana iavish
expenditures of money by the General Govern
ment. He thinks this measure should rise
above all sectional interests, and that as pre-
liminary to the termination OF the route, ana
10 appropriations for building the road, care
full SURVEYS should be made, the advantages
and disadvantages of each route, and the cost
of each, be laid before Congress, that Il may
act intelligently in the matter. Accordingly
after eyery measure before Congress at Its last
session had failed and the country supposed
that nothing would be done in the matter until
the assembling of q new Congress- Mr.. Chase
embraced the opportunity when the Army bill
was before the Senate, at the very heat of the
session, when all hopes OF anything being done
had been given over, to offer an amendment
providing for the exploration OF different routes
for the road and, through his influence, and
in spite of all the opposition from sectional In
terests and hopes of private speculations, the
amendment was carried, and the results will
be laid before the next Congress, when it will
be prepared to select the best route, and adopt
suitable measures for prosecuting this great
work. This timely act has raised the reputa-
ton of its author as skillfu watchful, and .ju-
dicous legislator everywhere; and has, espe-
cialy as it ought to have done, given him de-
sirable position in the great West.
We cannot conclude what we have said up
on this subject without remarking that the
State ought to rejoice that the initiatory steps
in this great measure were taken by one of her
own Senator's Her situation between the lakes
and the Ohio river, render it almost certain
that the immense travel and freight to be trans
ported upon this road must pass through her
midst There is not a railroad in the State but
will be benefited by it not city to which it
will not give a new impulse, not q farm to
which it will not add additional value. No
State is more entitled to take the lead in this
great work than Ohio, and it is fortunate it had
a member in the Senate who appreciated its
position and what was due to it, and possessed
Of sufficient ability and influence to occupy that
position, and successfully lead off in this the
greatest and most important of all the meas
ures on which the Government is now called
upon to act.

the Hunkers see this very plainly. This edi-
torial, and others like it, proves most conclu-
svely that the question is not setted-that the
agitation is increasing, and must increase, and
never will stop until liberty is proclaimed to
all tn, inhabitants Of the land The chasm
between the old line Democracy and the Free
Soil Democracy of ls4s, III this section, is by
no means obliterated. The hope OF the spoils
covered it up for a short time-the covering is
now being torn off the Hunkers are indignant;
the Free-Soilers are getting Offices; and this is
held to be in derogation of both the law and
gospel OF the Baltimore platform.
A paper is now to be established in this
county, and others in other places, to floor the
Reporter, Judge Wilmot, and General Pierce'S
Administration. Isn't that rich The Free
Sellers adopted the platform, elected General
Pierce, sing poems to the Administration, sla-
very, and all-declare the slavery agitation at
an end-and yet they have not pleased their
masters. The fight is to be renewed. The work
must all be done over again Thus it ever rs

rule or rum. The former it has always done;
the latter is coming on as fast as time moves

The People, The Free Democracy are greatly
encouraged in this vicinity. We have constant
accessons from the ranks of both the old par
ties. AT the last Presidential election there
were three of the most populous townships in
this county that gave majorities for Hale and
Julian, over both the old parties combined
That will do to commence with. Just keep n
look out for little Potter, for she has been the
first county in Pennsylvania to outlaw the III
quor Traffic; and think there is hope of a
people that have stamina enough to do that in
State rs badly party ridden as Pennsylvania
The money enclosed is the amount of n sub
scription taken at a primary meeting of the
voters of this town, held for the purpose of or
ganizng permanently. If we have out.num-
bered both the old parties without any concert
of action, may we not hope to do little better

reconcile such professions with their support of
tho evll-born Compromises and Fugitive BIZ of
abomnatlons is their task, not mine
The Reporter, OF the 23d inst, feels very hap
by to say that the dangers to which the Demo
cratic party has been exposed and which at
one time threatened it's dissolution, are avert
ed, and may be avoided" ny, here's the rub,

control It's counsels and guide its action"
Now, ! should just like to know how much
patriotism there is in party that makes catch

Democratic. 80 do |. But if the attempt lie so
bad, what must the actual doing of the thing
be And, before all Israel and the sun, before
the eyes of all the nations OF Christendom, and
beyond all successful contradiction, tho election
OF Gen. Pierce upon the Compromise coalition
and Fugitive Bill, has capped the climax of
Matchmaking slavery. Slavery was national
enough in all conscience in this country ever
since New England enslayed not only negroes.
but also Indians. There has never been time
since We became 30 extravagantly fond of ma
tionallty when slavery did not mould and shape

The Administration Of the younger Adams look

ever had and yet his Administration, 30 far
from beng able to stand erect had to go on
all tours, and drag its belly upon the ground,
in the presence Of slavery, Any person who
now afiirms that slavery is not national lust
simply lacks intelligence or moral sense
The Reporter congratulatcs itself and read
ers upon the settlement of the exciting question
of slavery, yet its remarks in tho paper of tho

OF an under-cuyrent--a sort Of underground
railroad eutrent--which impes this editor in a
direction just the opposite Of his words; and
