Pacific KanfIrOad CaBiTer Speeches
Some Of the Old line Democrats-strict
construcsionists, are very much displeased
al Tie tone Of some Of the speeches made
81 Tie Cabinet officers on the late Presiden-
tiaI tour On the subject Of the Pacific Rail-
road Mr. Secretary fIuthrie and Mr.. Sec.
Rotary Davis at Newark, both advocate
the building Of this road by the General
Government. as The only sure way Of per-
maneutly holding California. The Consti-
tuition gives the President power to build
military roads; and Mr. Secretary Davis
says inasmuch as California and New Mex
leo could only be held in time Of war'by
the United States by the easy and quick
communication which the railway could
give us, therefore il comes under the head
of Military Roads, This is whipping
around the Wing doctrine Of internal In
provements very adroilly. But some Of the
old fogies Of the party don't like It. The
Pierce papers had better be careful how
they commit themselves against the Gov
ernment's erecting this TOAD; FOR Mr. Davis
said that his views were those Of his honor
ed chief and his hcnofed chief, President
Pierce stood close BY him and did not con-
tradict him. Those that see their wy into
a mill stone. or what is more difficult % do,
into the policy of democratic administra-
ration, say that il Pierce can't get the Uni
ted States into war with somebody to sig
nalize his reign, he will immortalizeit By
building the Pacific road. Who blames
him? II viii be monument to any Presi-
dent who shall erect it, more enduring than
any that can be erected after he is dead, By
picayune contributions. We advise the
small Democratic sheets that are opposing
the scheme to be quiet and wait Till their
konored chit is more explicit as TO his de-
signs If we are to have war with Spain
or with Mexico Or build the Pacific Railroad,
twill certainly add more tothe glory and
prosperity of the country TO have tie road
besides it viii pay back good per cent
age-and wars pay back nothing-and
dresdfully swell the pension list.

major brad forsl,s speech.

This distinguished gentleman followed Gen..
Foote last Monday in amost able and interest
ing speech. he was just getting into the spirit
Iof his subject, when he gong at Winn's adj
monished the patriotic citizens Of Yazoo, that
though the Union had been shaken to It's foun-
dations, and might be again IL the Secessionists
ever get anolher chance, the important. cers-
mony Of citing dinner must be attended to-
The Mississippians viii fight when occasion
offers, let Monterey and Buena Vista and Maj.
Bradford answer for that; but IKE the honest
Dutch army under the redoubted Gen. Won
Pufenburg, who, when in the midst of ter.
rible battle with the Danes, (see Knickerbock-
er's history Of New York) sounded truce and
all went to camp for dinner and renewed their
valor and strength by butter milk and sour
krout, and afterwards fell to and whipped their
hungry adversaries of the feld--they never
forget when it is time to eat their dinner. Judge
Burrus, in his mildest nanner, reminded Maj1r
Bradford of this peculiarly, and he like true
patriot and courteous gentleman, drew of his
forces, and deferred his speech till night. He
then commenced where he left off in the mori-
ing, and Cor the space Of two hours spoke with
great force on the questions connected with the
Compromise measures, the consequences grow
ing out Of them. etc. His remarks about the
positions of Col JEFF. Davis during the canvass
of 81 and at present, were quite severe, but
marked by considerable forbearance consider
ing how assailable the Hon. Secretary of War
is on these points. But we have al;eady
taken SO much space in our notice Of General
Foote'S speech we cannot give even an
outline of Major BIS. powerful effort. Our
readers know that Major Bradford is cand.-
date for Congress for the State at large. He
is Wing of the old school,, brave soldier and
m honest man He is popular with the peo-
pie ami highly respected and beloved by his
friends and those who know him best. Every
voter knows Major Bradford, and knoWs him to
be as brave a man as ever lived. and one that
will reflect honor upon our Stateif he goes to
Congress. Personally and politically, we wish
him al manner Of success.

tE~f Judge w. 1erger, CANDIDATE Tor fe-eicc-
ton to the office he fills--that of Judge of the
High Court of Errors and Appeals for the first
Judicial District, made very able and accep-
table speech last Monday night. As this office
is not political, we iatendea only TO notice the
fact that he and Mr.. a. Handy, his competitor,
spoke on the occasion, but the editor of the
Democrat seems to dwell specially on the fact
that Judge Yerger is Bond payer. After
eulogising Mr.. Handy's speech and giving his
readers to understand that although he says
nothing about It on the stump, he hns long since
made up his mind that the Bonds are unconeti-
tutional He SAYS:
.sJudge Yefger spoke very ably and beau
tifully pointed to the great dispatch with
which he and.his colleagues had disposed
of the eight hundred causes on the docket
at the time he took his seat on the bench,
eighteen months since. All Ibis was very
well, and seemed satisfactory to the audience
but-butl when be told them that he was
one Of those Judges who lately decided that
the State of Mississippi was legally and NOR
rally bound to the--the UNION BANK BoNDs,
we saw change upon the audience which
appeared as perceptible as wonld have the
effects of flash of water or "a wet sheet
upon their heads;s They may not blame the
man for doing what his judgment mislead
him TO do, but the voters of Mississippi will
never again elect Judge to situpon the Su-
preme Bench, who is Union Bank Bond
payer-though he flood the country with
pamphlets more numerouslysthan were the
locusts ofEgypt Oflhis we shall have more
to sBy in the future
We have only space to say, that both the
speeches Of the candidates for the High Court
were candid and courteous, and showed them
lie gentlemen Of fine scholastic and legal at
tainments. If the Bond questionis to be made
the test of their election, let the present ergan-
izaton of the party be disbanded and placed
upon an anti-bond platform altogether, or we
may believe that this great love of certain pull
fishers FOR Mr.. Handy, rather than for Judge
Yerger, proceeds from old Secession and Die
union affnities. We have nodesire to rekindle
any old controversies in which MrI Tandy was
engaged in 81. for the beneftof Judge Yerger.
Dir. H. is our personal friend, and We have not
the pleasure of q personal acquaintance with
Judge Y, but let justice be done, though the
heavens fall. We want no political Judiciary
God forbid that the ernaine should ever be-
dragged through the mire Of partizan canvass.
Mr.. Yerger stated that he had done whas he
considered his duty when he gave his late de-
cision il favor Of the liability Of the State to
pay the Bonds of the Union Bank and If tie
same thing vas 70 be done oyer, he would colt
again. Tie audience received this ayowal with
applause, and we saw none Of the schange''
that he speaks Of falling like q wet sheet upon
the aud nce: on the contrary, we thought he
made fine impression, as we understand he
does wherever lie is heard

0.rWe did not intend mentioning the little cpl
sode iii the discussions the other night, wherein
Gen. Foote interrupted DIR. Handy in his speech.
But the low personal abuse of TIE Democrat
against Gen. Foote, compels Us to do it. Mr.
Handy seemed to contrast the Importance Of
the Office for which he IS "a candidate with that
for which Gen. Foote is canvassing the State,
in manner that the Governor took exceptions
t, as Mr.. Handy said something about the
scrambing for the political offices Of the day.
Cen Foote interrupted him and Rir Handy re-
Piled cautiously, but still left the impression
on Gen. Foote'S MIND that though noindign.ty
was intended, his cause was treated with mark
ed disrespect. The Democrat says that during
the interval that the waking up Of Dan Russell
caused "the little agitator popped into his place
and made violent attack upon Gov. Brown.
We we're sitting near the Governor on that oc-
casion, and joined Mr.. Dougharty in persuad-
ing him to fill the stand to keep the audience
together till sDau'' could be found. because we
knew they expected speech from the immor-
tarauditor before going home. If Gen. Foote
made an attack upon Gov. Brown, he viii main
tain that attack, or one ten times az severe, il
Coy. Brown ever dares to meet him face to face
again The editor Of the Democrat of course
intends to do right and tell'the truth, but what
does he mean By such paragraphs as the follow
ing. Henry s.Foote sitting dumbfoundered be-
fore Albert G. Brown! Does Col. Benton Of
Missouri believe that!
1--WE suppose Foote did not know that the
people Of this county read. That they were
rot aware that GOV. Brown so.used Foote up
in debafe upon the stump in this very canvass,
that he. the immortal Foote, could not open his
mouth, hat sat like d stump dumbfounded"
There is not Secessionist in Mississippi
that viii travel the State and discuss his pr;n-
ciplss and antecedents With Gen. Foote. Gov.
Quitnan once tried it--but got sick. JEFF. Davis
aevefwould attempt it; and A. G. Brown would
as soon shoulder his own political coffin and
beat dead march to his own Secession stained
grave, as to do it.

ImpoRrAsr RArIxoAp DEcrsros.-The

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION. Su-
preme Court of Illinois, at its recent session
at Springfield. as we learn from the Chica-
60 Democrat, made very important decision
in the case of the Alton and Sangamon
Railroad Company vs.. Carpenter, in regard
TO the proper measure Of damages for the
right Of way over private lands. The court
held, that in estimating the damage done to
land by the construction of a railroad, the
advantages which the land will derive from
its construction. are to be taken into con-
sideration and deducted; and that estimation
of these advantages is not to be confined to
the advantag peculiar to the tract Of land
bears in common with other land, beyond
what it would bear if the road was not con-
structed or to be constructed at all. If this
increased value is equal to or greater than
the damage done, then no damages eau be
assessed, or compensation gwen for the ap-
preparation of the land.

Fun IN WAsHrNGroS-MR. HUNTER RAM
PAkr.-A few days ago Mr.. Hunter and John
Tyler, appeared as rival app licants to the
Postmaster General for a ma il route Agency.
each for a particular friend OF his own. The
Correspondent of the New York Tribune
says, that Tyler was encouraged, but Mr..
Campbell seemed disposed to evase noticing
the application of Mr.. Hunter, or to examine
his papers. He next applied to the Presi-
dent, but with. no better success; he then
returned to the p. o. Departent and finding
Mr.. Campbell out waited there until he came
in. Atlength the gentleman appeared and
still strove to evade the subject, when Mr..
Hunter exclaimed, "God damn you, who
commands this concern" and continued to
curse the Administration. He said "the
Attorney General, was a renegade Wing,
and the Virginia route Agent was also q
renegade" and quit the Office in "a great
rage.
