willing now to give up their expensive canals
and railroads, with their deep cuts, tunneling and
inclined planes, and resolve his State and people
back again into the condition in which they
were before these improvements were made =
DO they not very much prefer these works, pre-
mature and unwise though some Of them may
be, than return to the pack horse, the bell team,
and the stage coach? Although the construc-
ton of those great works may have saddled
Pennsy Iylanis with an onerous public debt,
cannot doubt that the benefits and advantages
arising from them more than counter balance the
evils of tina, debt.
Mr.. PRESIDENT, besides the INTRINSIC merit OF
this measure, and the deep interest felt in Its sue

among these is my worthy friend from Georgia,
Mr. Dawson, whose smiling countenance and

ences in this re gard do not in the sl'gh:est de-
gree lessen my respect and kind feelings for
him, nor for my worthy friend from Maine, Mr..
BradbETy,l who usually taxes the same side,
and between whom and myself, owing to a mis-
apprehension OH my part OF his views and posi-
ton this question, the first day this bill was
DISCUSSED, there was an unpleasant alteration,
which, however, passed off with the occasion,
leaving us the same good friends we have ever

The sickness in cur port has displayed itself
among American shipping, and for the season OF
the year it has been an extraordinary feature in
the few days past. Those placed in hospital at
San Francisco, under the care of Doctor Wilson
have been saved; the mortality has been light.

There are causes of some excitement said to ex

IMPORTANT DECISION Relative TO BRNrvoLRnr
sooIETIEs-The Cayuga Lodge case, /. o. o. F.,
some time pending in the supreme court Of New
York, on demurrer, has been decided in favor of
the plaintiffs on all the points involved in the issue.
Inc principal point was, whether the courts will
enforce the trust created by the constitutions of
the order. The decision of the court sustained the
position assumed by Cayuga Lodge, and overrules
the demurrers interposed in behalf ofthe members
who withhold the funds contributed for the objects
of benevoience and charity. 1t is therefore an i'm
portant decision not only to the Order OF Odd Fell
lows, but to the Order of Sons of Temperance,
Free Masons, Martha Washington, and other
charitable societies which are not Incorporated.
1t recognises their constitutions, and maintains
that the courts will enforce the trusts which they
create. f@ go &Esf RS S .st4sF4

superseded by the Democratic Revieac
We incline to the opinion that another visit
from M. KossUTH would teach very salutary
lesson. A week in Washington, from the first
to the seventh of March next would teach him
more concerning the cardinal principles of his
Democratic admirers than he was able to Learn
before from speeches and resolutions. He
would detect their animating and controlling
principle at glance, and know henceforward
how to estimate the relative excellence of theil
professions and their practices. He would dis
cover, moreover, the evanescent nature of his
own popularity and the utter uselessness of his
five hundred orations. A second visit, there
fore, would be notifying, albeit instructive.

SEARS G. WALKER, ESQ.,, of the Coast Sur
vey, distinguished especially for his successful
researches in practical astronomy, died at the
residence of his brother, Judge WALKER, near
Cincinnati, on Sunday evening last. His
health, impaired by long continued and severe
mental exertion, has been failing for some
eighteen months past; but recently we are in
formed that he had been able to resume his
computations forlongitudes in the Coast Survey,
and for the ephemeris of the planet Neptune
for the Nautical Almanac, and his friends
hoped that he might yet be spared for further
usefulness. American science has sustained a
great loss in this death of one of its most sue
cessful cultivators

When we suggested that the revelation of
Mr.. BUcHANAN's diplomacy in relation to Gu
ba derived all its annoyance from the objec-
tionable nature of the diplomacy revealed, the
Union and its echoes protested that we SLAM
dered Mr.. BUCHANAN, and that his negotia-
tons were distinguished by consummate tact.
They said ''tact" or Craftsmanship" we
think; looking to success rather than to prin-
ciple, which our city contemporary placed on
level with nonsense
s Well, the New Orleans Delta, which may
be regarded as an outside if not an Indifferent
witness of the controversy, has just expressed
It's opinion in the premises-briefy and point
eddy, but probably with sufficient emphasis to
satisfy Mr.. BUcHANAN's indiscreet champions.
"BUCHANAN," the Delta remarks, 'sn.ade a
ridiculous failure to purchase the island, and
in conducting the negotiations betrayed Lo-
PEI and his patriotic companions to the Span
j. ish." IL the Delta had said 'sdiscreditable
and ridiculous failure" it would have covered
the whole ground.
