Congress should elect General Armstrong pub

to support the administration as its measures
correspond to the creed Of the party, the pub
Usher of the Sentinel is willing to surrender
the Office which has been conferred upon him
if he has been mistaken in this behalf.
In our article of yesterday we exposed the
impudent effrontery which charged that co
alition had been entered into by our democratic
friends and the abolitionists. But the charge
has been made that our democratic friends in
the Senate coalesced with the wings in order to
obtain for us the patronage and endorsement
of the Senate. There was no caucus on the
subject of the Senate printer; and each and
every member of that body was free to cast
his vote as his judgment dictated. But we
would remind the Washington Union that men
who live in glass houses should never throw
stones If there be any truth in the uncontra-
dicted report that legal controversy has arisen

prietors Of the late Republic, and the state
ments with regard to it be true, the Union made
an alliance with whig organ at a time when
party spirit ran high, for the purpose of obtain
ing the printing Of the two Houses Of Congress,
with the understanding that the profits should
be divided between them. We have made no
bargains. We have entered into no alliances,
although the President, in his annual message,
assures the country that party divisions are fast
disappearing.
But, in conclusion, we would advise the
Union to cultivate equanimity Of mind. Sene-
cas- is good book on philosophy, and, in his
death, he illustrated practically all the lessons
that he taught. To Seneca's book and Sene-
cas- example, we commend the Union. II may
derive benefit from the advice. s
One word more We have never had one
line Of public advertising--we have never had
one iota of the public printing. They have been
given to every paper here save ours The
Union has had the lions share. Will it be
content with nothing less than a monopoly
continuous, eternal monopoly?

Later from Texas.

BY The arrival of the steamship Louisiana this
morning, we have Galveston papers of the 81 st
inst, Austin of the 29th ut, and number of other
Texas papers.
The Austin State Gazette, of the Doth nt has
the following paragraphs
Governor p. H. Bell has resigned the Office OF
Governor of Texas, and the duties Of that station
have been thereby devolved upon our present
Lieutenant Governor, J. w. Henderson, by whom
they Will be discharged until the 2ist December.
General A. Sidney Johnson who returned on
Sunday evening last, from his periodical trip the
lorts on the upper waters of the Brazos and
Trinity, informs us that the Indians are quiet on
that part of our frontier, at present.
In noticing the proceedings in the legislature,
the Gasee has the following paragraph in relation
10 the Pacific railroad:
| The committee on internal improvements of the
Senate have given the bill for the construction of
| the Mississippi and Pacific railroad a thorough
| examination, and although not yet reported, we
| are informed have come 10 the following conclu-
sons: To extend the time for the construction OF
the first fifty miles 10 eighteen months. To re-
serve from location belt OF country sixty miles
in width, 10 leave open aud undetermined the
point at which il shall enter the eastern boundary
OF the State, but 10 bear in such direction rom
where il does enter as 10 reach the 5sd degree Oh
north latitude in the vicinity ofthe Trinity. they
recommend the striking out OF the llth, TIA ISth
and nth sections as their substance is provided
for in the general railroad law OF the STATE Ihe
principal difficulty is now the hSing the point at
which the road shall cross the trinity river
Twenty instead of sixteen sections OF land, TO tho
mile are given 10 the company who shall construct
the road,
Referring, in another place, 10 the internal in-
provement committee of the House, the Gazette
says:
"Their action on the Pacific road was characl
terized by unanimity, agreeing 10 grant OF twen-
five sections per mile the road TO enter the State
not north of Fulton, Arkansas, and 10 cross the
Trinity river near the 32d degree OF north latitude
and thence 10 pursue the nearest practicable route
on that parallel"

viding for the construction Of Pacific railroad
with government money, if the National Legis-
lature should lose sight of republican princi-
pies SO far as to give its sanction to such an
undertaking. Constitutional barriers should
not be permitted to give way before considera-
tons of mere convenience. The principles of
the sacred compact must not yield precedence
to expediency. But leaving out Of view con-
stitutional objections, we do not believe it to
be .convenient-we do not believe it to be ex-
pedient for the government to undertake the
construction Of Pacific railroad In our hum
Bile Judgment such an undertaking would delay,
for many generations, a speedy communication
with the Pacific, whilst it would entail innu-
merable evils upon us as people. AS we
said, on a former occasion, a railway is not
only road for travel, but an institution; be-
cause it requires corporation to keep it in
repair and make it useful. Even if Congress
had the power to create such n corporation,
and endow it with public funds, would it be
desirable to exercise that power? Most surely

the head Of such an establishment? Most
surely not. If either course should be pursued,
the door would be opened wide to extrava-
gance, proiigacy and corruption, and the
government would become the mere append
age to railroad company, or the Executive
would be clothed with such power and patron
age as to destroy and overthrow the checks
and balances of the Constitution.

Surely the Washington Union does not fully
understand its own course. Surely it does not
perceive that its efforts tend directly to infict
lasting injury on the democratic party and on
the administration it pretends to serve with
dsinterested fidelity. 1t would degrade the
principles which constitute the basis of demo-
cratic fellowship into a mere piratical league
for spots and plunder. In attempting to bind
its fate IN the Senate with the fate of the ad-
ministraion, it would, for the purpose of Civ
ing fore. and effect to its mortifying exhibi-
tons ofspleen and disappointment, declare to
the world that the administration has already
lost the confidence of the highest Legislative
body in the nation. BY assaiing with fierce
vituperaton the representatives of the sover-
eign Stahs Of this confederacy, It seeks to
place the Executive in most offensive atti-
tude, by painting him as a weak but ambitious
dictator, whse dictation has been disregarded.
But it alwaysputs itself before the President.
