Tbe pacific RAILROAD, Again.

The Pulley Star comments upon our paragraph
Of week before last, wherein we fslicitated our
selves upon the ''coming over" Of President
PIERCE, and other distinguished lights of the De-
mocracy, to the Wing doctrine Of internal i'm
provements by the General Government. The
Star thinks we have nothing to rejoice at, because
the Wings are divided upon the question. We
are not aware OF, any division among them except
in reference to the mere matter Of erpcdiency.-
Some Of them think it iuexpedient for Congress to
undertake the Pacific Railroad, solely as Gov
eminent enterprise, and probably prefer the mode
ofgranting land or money to aid a company, which
they universally admit to be constitutional. The
Virginia Democracy, however, deny even that
power, sad oppose every plan by which it is pro-
posed for the Government to contribute to this
great national work. The Star does not deny
that Secretaries DAVIS and GUTHRIE, and Ptesi-
dent PIERCE and the Washington Union, and the
New York Herald, &c., &C., have come over to
our side Of the constitutional question. but is seiz-
ID with sudden fit Of forgetiulness when it as
sorts that "none is left to defend it save GREEDY
In the North and the Spectator s Co. at the
South" We beg leave to remind the Star that
the President and his ''organ" and are with us.
"Asto our representative Mr.. LETcHER,"
says the Star, che may doubtless be found where
he has always been." WOnderif the present ed
i.or of that paper considers it safe now adays to
state without inquiry that any politician may be
found "where he has always BEEN?
