which alike honorable to them and crafty
ins to the court. Much time had beeHspent in

the last counsel had referred to, might be reali-
zed from it: and he hoped that asperities far
and wide might be allayed on both sides of Ma
son and Dixons line. The court alluded to the
contignity of the States of Maryland and Penn
sylvania, their similarity of products and iden-
tity of population, and said that it would be a
cause of great regret that any case of this char
acter should be- disposed of in way to incraase
prejudice either side Such cases of feeling
could not be removed by the decisions of judges
or the verdicts of juries, but they may be allay-
ed by the effects of magnanimity of this kind.
Such instances this, evidencing to another
State, no desire to commit wrong, could not
result but benefcially. The court, in conclusion,
fully appreciated the adjustment of the case
just made.

Gen. Cass and the Pacific Railroad.

When such grave, conservative, and dignifed
men of the Senate as Gen. Cass, talk thus about
this great project, it is bound to go ahead. In
late speech, the General said -
s'It is my decided conviction that one of the
most important measures-the most important,
for this government-is the construction, so far
as our constitutional authority permits, of rail
road from some point upon the Mississippi, to
the Pacific Ocean. / say some point upon the
Mississippi for it is perfectlysindifferent to me
where it is, and 1 hope the friends of this object
will not fritter away their strength by mere 10

uniform, the architect to be Clark Mills, Esq,
who has gained so great reputation by his
admirable statue Of Jackson. Senator Gwin

great Pacific Railroad, from Missouri to Caifor-
mia, and the friends of the measure are sanguine
of success. Commodore Stockton has reported
bill fol the reorganization of the Navy, and
Gen. Shields one for the Army. The Senate has
passed sever al bills for paying just claims to
the surviving families of revolutionary soldiers
In the House, Mr.. Marshall, of California made
an Intellectual attempt to introduce resolution
appropriating $40, 100000 to be used by Presi-

ize its expenditure. Many speculations are
indulged in concerning the Cabinet, and every
body seems to know what no one knows Pierce,
We take it, will have s'a hand in the business"
