HON. MIKE WALSH.

We are gratifed to learn, by sdYices from
New York, that this gentleman Is In fair way
of recovering from his recent accident. 1t had
been feared that his injuries were of a nature
so serious as would forbid his attendance at
the next meeting Of Congress, end we now re.
joice with his numerous friends all over the
country, at the prospect of his presence here,
indicating with his eioquence and ability the
great cause of the national democracy. The
services of such man could lily be spared at
this juncture.

not vote our ticket even in a State election.
They have right to vote as they please.
These groundless complaints of coalition
come with good grace, indeed, from the free
sellers who, in erecting the Buffalo platform,
and supporting the nominees of that CON
yention, severed every party tie, repudiated
every party principle, and straugled every hon
est sympathy. To relieve themselves from
odium, they attempt to cast it on others, and
with characteristic audacity they cite them
selves as authority, and rely on testimony that
they hal fabricated for the occasion. That
evidence is inadmissible, and can have no fur
ther weight with the public than to prove de
liberate and matured purpose to commit vio-
lence and treason.

Bsy~THE RICHMOND TINES calls our atten
ton to an article which we copied from the

says, "we are unwilling to believe that the
Editors of the Sentinel wish to be understood

We assure the Editor of the Times that we
would endorse nothing that touched his charac-
ter or implicated his honor. Editorial courtesy
would forbid so wanton and unprovoked an ag-
gression. We but copied an article which con,
tanned specific reference to the Times, whilst
it applied to the wing press generally the terms
that the Times complains of

BsJ~THE Press OF THE COUNTRY has gene
rally welcomed our advent into the editorial
family with marked kindness and cordially.
We value, beyond measure, the high compi-
ments that have literally been showered on US.
We are gratifed to be able to say that but two
or three deviations from this kindly tone have
fallen under our eve. These we will bear with
out complaint. Yet we are not conscious of
having failed in courtesy towards any of our
brethren of the Press. We are certain that
we have done injustice to none. From our
heart we wish that abundant success NAV crown
their iabors and reward the hourly sacrifices of
pleasure and OF feeling 10 which their profess
sion subjects them.
It is pleasant to be on good terms with the
numerous journals that daily come to us--to
see in them the evidences Of fellowship and
good feeling.
1t may seem invidious to distinguish where
all have been so kind, but we cannot forbear
from expressing to the gentleman who conducts
the Richmond Wing, our sense of his liberal
and friendly course towards rs He has the
good sense to see and the good heart 10 feel
tibet political differences should not interfere with
private friendship or arrest a pleasant inter
change of editorial courtesies.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

1t is generally conceded democratic doc
trine that the general government has no power
z to build road from the Mississippi Valley to
the Pacific, regardless of the rights and juris-
dicton of the States In this connexion, may
we ask:
lst. Has the government a right to build the
road through territory for national purposes
when national necessities do not demand it?
ID Has the government right to build
such road through territory for local pur-
poses in advance of the settlement of that ter
ritory, and, consequently, without consulting
the wishes and interests of those who may be-
come its inhabitants?
Sd. Would it square honestly with the ad-
mitted doctrines Of the democratic party to
advocate the building of this great road through
our territories, upon the plea that IT is neces-
sary as a military defence"
Now, we believe that this road can be built,
and will be built, in less time and with more
general and universal satisfaction by the CO
operation of the States and individuals. The
experience derived from the past proves the
utter inability and inetticiency of the general
government in completing great work of in
ternal Improvement, to say nothing of the dan
ger of exercising that power. The great Cum
berand road was for thirty-six years constant
drain upon the treasury, and but little more
than half is finished and Congress has been,
and is now and will be for years, pressed down
with all sorts of claims from people along its
line, and contractors, which, if entertained,
would materially diminish our surplus revenue.
Let the government keep within constitutional
limits, and the people viii see to take care of
themselves.

Will there be War I'm Europe .

There seems to be a settled opinion in this
country that Russia viii maintain the stand she
has taken, and that the Sultan being unable to
restrain the enthusiasm of his iniidel subjects,
the Turks will precipitate war. We do not
think So The pear of the Hellespont is not
yet ripe enough to fall into the mouth Of Russia ;
and too many other hungry mouths are opened
for the same delicate morsel. The Emperor
may refuse to accept the Sultans notifications
of the Vienna note, but still these viii remain a
hundred ways for willy European diplomacy TO
wriggle itself out of the ENHANCEMENT Our
London papers are to the 10th ult but the
Times OF the 18th, as we learn by telegraph
from London to Liverpool, asserted there was
no reason to doubt that Turkey would in sub
stance yet accept the note as originally drawn
up at Vienna by the representatives Of the
four great powers. There is always an "if" ora
"but" tor tLese representatives to use as a knot
hole, through which 10 cresp. 1t is not the
interest of any European power-Russ,a IN
cluded--to go to war either of them would
gain loss by the experiment. Peace is their
policy; war their ruin, and the unchainer of
all the democratic hopes and republican aspira-
tons which have been imprisoned for years
past A general war between European
crowned heads would be the signal for Kossuth,
Mazzini, and the other leaders in the cause of
mans emancipation to re-appear on the stage
Of action. 4he touch Of the Cossack may set
Europe in blaze, but though the names viii
arise the spirit Of democracy soaring aloft,
over the funeral pyre of despotism. Neither Of
the rsc great powers of Europe in our opinion
dare 90 TO war at present, end there are potent
reasons to keep them Of the same m'nd for .
long time to come.

generally, than to be dependent on one great
monopolizing power for their supply? Is 1t
not better that they should receive them at the
low prices which competition, cheaper means
of production, and nearness of market would
furnish them by the former, than to give the
high prices which monopoly, dear labor, and
great distance from market would impose2 Is
it not better that their labor should be ex-
changed with new continent, rapidly inereas-
ing In population and the capacity for consum-
ing, and which would furnish, in the course Of
a few generations, market nearer to them,
and of almost unlimited extent, for the pro-
ducts of their industry and arts, than with old
and distant regions, whose population has long
since reached its growth?
The above contains those enlarged views of
policy which, it seems to me, an enlightened
European statesman ought to take, in making
up his opinion on the subject of the annexation
of Texas, and the grounds, as it may be in
ferred, on which England vainly opposes it.
They certainly involve considerations of the
deepest importance, and demanding the great
est attention. Viewed in connexion with them,
the question of annexation becomes one of'the
first magnitude, not only to Texas and the Uni
ted States, but to this continent and Europe.

all suitable occasions, where you think they

GeA-With reference to the American japan
expedition, we find the following in the Wese,
Gdzette:
1T is stated that the Russian government has
resolved 10 resist the attempts of the Americans
against japan, and that the Russian squadron
which recently sailed for those seas was intend
ed for that purpose. The Russian government
has sent for Professor Siebold, who resides on
the bank of the Rhine, to obtain from him every
information relative to Japan, and as to the
best means to be adopted to defeat the attempts
Of the United States. M. Siebald is well ac-
quainted with Japan, having resided there
many years. The Dutch government is said to
be pleased with this determination of the cabi-
net of St Petersburg, as the Americans also
threaten the Dutch archipelago, and as, more
over, the English press express themselves in
favor Of the Americans, and have lately begun
to throw discredit on the Dutch rule in the
East Indies.r-N. J.. Herald.

From Mackellar's "Droppings from the Heart"
Let's SIT Down and Talk Together.

Let's sit down and talk together
Ofthe things of olden day,
When we, like lambkins loosed from tether,
Gayy tripod along the way.
Time has touch'd us both with lghtness,
Leaving burrows here and there,
And tinging with peculiar brightness
Silvery threads among our hair.
Let's sit down and talk together
Many years away have passed,
And fair and foul has been the weather
Since we saw each other last
Many whom we loved are living
In better world than this;
And some among us still are giving
Toll and thought for present bliss.
Let's sit down and talk together
Though the flowers of youth are dead
The ferns still grow among the heather,
And for us their fragrance she'd
Life has thousand blessings in it
Even for the aged man;
And GoD has hid in every minute
Something we may wisely sean.
Let's sit down and talk together
Boys we were,-we now are men;
We meet awhile, but know not whether
We shall meet TO talk again.
Parting time has come: how feetly
Speed the moments when their wings
Are iann'd by breathings issuing sweetly
From tongue that never stings
