will tend to more corruption and greater in.
crease of the patronage of the government,
than any project that can be well imagined,
declares that it is mere passenger prepared
| Tor any contingency that may arise. If it could
see any vigorous and concerted effort to save
'ne Government from the gulf of consolida.
uon' IL would joyfully sustain it ; but ''under
existing Circumstances" it is 'of necessity
content to let matters take their course"
Inc Enquirer continues its augmentation
upon the Pacific Railroad-direc,ing its a,ten
ton to the chief ground upon which the Sec =
retary of War, and the Washington Union
base their support of the project, viz "the
common defeace." The Enquirer thinks this
the very weakest argument that could be of
fered for tit "had supposed that If there was
an impossible ground on which the measure
could be rested, it would be this very ground
of common defence" The Ensuirer declares
that when itiooks at the Unions argument "for
the common objects of this common defence
that Is TO Say common in regard TO the whole
Unioni we [theyI see but the single specifca-
ton OF San Francisco city, or at most Cal,for
nia." The Enquirer proceeds to argue upon
this point at length, utterly denying any force
whatever in the scheme as one of necessity
as military road for The common Defence
1t denies that it even has the "merit ofcandor." :"
The Mail has an article to show that il ia
moro difficult TO get up war now, than in an
eient times.
The Times, alluding 10 the cause of quarrel
between Turkey and Russia, considers il es
sentialiy the same as that which gave rise TO
the crusades more than seven hundred years
ago.
The Examiner commences its editorial dis
sertations yesterday, by speculative article
upon the designs of Russia, taking as its text
some suggestions of the London Sun. The
Examiner thinks it not improbable that Rus
STA covets the dominion of China, and that she
will shape her diplomacy and military marou
vres, so as to accomplish that object. 1t be-
lieves in the success of this grand scheme,
and that in course Of time the Muscovite will
prevail in the East, and the Republic of the
U. States, in the West-the two great political
powers dividing the world between them.-
Pretty tall specializing thal!l
The Examiner also has an elaborate and
very interesting article ON sc host Mania,'' re
ferrng to many remarkable dslusions in past
days and their solutions. Ii contends that
after the exposure of all unnatural and myste.
rious performances-,hat after the proof, "that
whatever conflicts with the revelations of the
Bible and the experience of mankind for three
thousand years, is the result of imposture, of
jugglery, of sleight of hand and kna,ish tricke,
ry,"-"it is disgraceful that the people of the
United States should be made the laughing
stock Of the civilized world, by the numberless
humbugs that afflict the land!" This is too
true.
