Judge Mclean. of the United States
Court, in his decision surrendering mp a fu-
gitive slave from Kentucky, to his owner,
answered several points raised by the com-
sci for the slave, by saying, in substance,
that the fugitive slave law of 1893 and 1850
are constitutional, and that no State has
power to pass a law preventing fugitives
from being delivered up to those to whom
they owe service. That no proof was nec-
essary before the Supreme Court that slare-
ry existed in the State from whence the fu-
gitive escaped, as it should be taken for
granted that the Supreme Judge knew the
laws of all the States. That the State could
not be compelled to give up fugitivcs by law
of Congress, if the provisions in the consti-
tution did not do so. That slavery can only
exist by authority of law. and as it so exists
in slave States. said law not being an in
fringement of the constitution, the free
States are bound to recognise it in deliver
ing up slaves from these States, upon clear
proof that they are SUCH

The special Washington correspondent

The special Washington correspondent
of the New York "Herald" writes that
President PIERCE is determined to leave
the subject Of the proposed railroad to the
Pacific an open question for settlement by
Congress, the different State Legislatures.
and the people. In his message to Con-
gress, next December, he will merely give
the result of the labors of the different ex-
ploring expeditions so far as known, without
advocating any particular route, or even the
road itself. Gen. PIERCE comedies in the
opinion expressed in the Herald at tie
time the debate was going on in Congress
relative to the imposition upon the Presi-
dent of the extraordinary duties of attend
ing to the surveying of Railroad routes.-
He is of the opinion that he was elected
President of the United States. not Presi-
dent of Railroad, by the the people. As
to the Cabinet, it is understood that its
members are opposed. upon the ground of
unconstitutionaEty, to any project which will
grant more than the mere right of way to
the road. Under any circumstances; how
ever, the people have determined. says the
Herald, that the road must be built. The
only real difficulty in the way is fixing up

Col. Benton's Northern Rams
Horn Route Exploded.

The st. Louis 'Republican" of the Both
ult., has received news from Gov STEVENS
party, after their arrival at Fort Union, on
the Yellow Stone, with copious and inter-
esting Notes of the reconnaissance thus
far of the northern route for the Pacific
Railroad The impossibility of this route
is made clearly manifest
1--WE learn, says the Republican, . chat
Gov. STEVENS preliminary report of the
progress of the expedition, and of the sur
veys, maps, and estimates, which he has
been able to prepare for the War Depart
ment, have been placed in the hands of
Capt. L. s. EVERETT, who has proceeded
to Washington Whether this preliminary
report will be published depends upon the
authorities at Washington. We learn that
Gov. STEVENS expected to complete his part
of the duties assigned to him by the month
of November, and Immediately afterwards
additional reports will be made of the whole
route. The prospect now is. that they will
be ready to be submitted to Congress BY
the time appointed-in the early part of
February next.
Respecting the practicability of the route
over which the expedition has passed." con-
tinues the Republican" nothing is said
in the Notes Perhaps. in the absence
of the report of the chief of the expedition
it was proper that this should be so. We
have private information, however, that the
facts to be communicated will satisfy Con-
gress and the country that this route will not
do. If it be practicable TO construct rail-
road at all, it must be at an enormous ex-
pense and over country not adapted to it,
nor likely to be populated for ages to come.
One fact may be stated in proof of this
The expedition travelled for EIGHT DAYS
WITHOUT SEEING TREE OR WOOD IN ANY
SHAPE. There were evidences, also, that
much of the country was subject to annual
overflow, and a very considerable portion of
it was marshy land. The distance, too, al
ready traveled-over 700 miles-and an
examination of the map FOR the further route
in the direction of San Francisco, must
make it so great as to take this route out Of
all competition with those which have been
directed to be surveyed. 1t must be sever
al hundred miles longer. Indeed, every
fact which we have learned in regard to the
Northern route for a railroad to the Pacific,
convinces us that it must be Abandoned
