The PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL

After protracted discussion upon the va
rious projects proposed for the construction of
a Railroad to the Pacific, the bill introduced
into the Senate under the auspices of Messrs
Gwin and Rusk, failed to receive the support OF
u majority of that body. There was a prevail
ing desire to adopt some efectual measures on
the subject, but opinions were too discordant i'll
relation to details An amendment, 80 mod-
fed at the instance of Mr.. Chase that he was
fairly entitled to its paternity was received
with considerable favor, and would probably
have prevailed, but for the determination to
force a question upon the original bill
This having failed, it became doubtful
whether any step could be taken upon the sub
lect but Mr.. Chase, securing the sanction OF
the Committee ON Roads and Canals, reported
from that committee an amendment to the
Army BILL embodying the provisions of the one
! proposed as n substitute for the Pacific Rail.
road bill, authorizing explorations and surveys
under the direction of the President, with
view to ascertain the best route for railwa,
to the Pacific.
Mr.. Chase, with Nlessrs Hale and Sumner
were coarsely excluded from the standing com
mittees, in the early part of the session, on til
ground that they did not belong to either q
the healthy organizations but he had tn
pleasure of seeing his amendment laying tn
foundation of one of the grandest enterprise
that can be undertaken by the country, tr
umphantly carried

self to one wife 80 that the laws of Illinois and
other States, forbddng polygamy could have
been no infringement of their rights of con-
science.
Had Bishop Hughes clear appreciation OF
the nature and foundation OF civil and religious
freedom, were he imbued with the spirit of real
Democracy, he would scorn to appear before
the American People as an apologiSt Tor the
mean expressions of petty Dukedom' he
would manfuly denounce the attempts OF his
Catholic brethren in other parts of the world
to eoeree uniformity of faith. he would not re-
gard American guarantees OF freedom oil con-
science as a merely convenient arrangement
suited to the States of this Union, in which the
Catholics are greatly in the minority, but as
the expression of fundamental principles
founded upon the essential nature and necessi-
ties of Man, and therefore universal in their
adaptation And he would promptly avail him
self of every such case OF gross persecution az
that of the Madiai family, to inculcate upon
his Church the great doctrines of Religious
Freedom.
But he ridcules the idea of American inter-
vention for Religious Freedom no European
State would listen to us. Let us try. We
have right to ask for our citizens sojourning
in Italy or other lands, the right of worship in
their own way, and that they shall not be mo-
Tested therein and this right may be secured
by firm and judcious negotiation And we
have a right too to labor to arouse the Public
Sentiment of the world against any State
which subjects to torture, imprisonment or
death, men and women, for non-conformity to
certain religious dogmss or ceremonies To
what extent we shall exercise the right, il a
question merely of expediency.
