Sun of Juuo l9, contains au article uron this
subject, which is as full Of sectional prejudice
as 4 ,5og is fpH ofGeos" We would advise
San Francisco scribblers, IN viewing this sub
.iect to DO so in spirit which IT'S importarco
demands, and not exhibit sectional rreju-
dice which renders them Objectionable tc two
thirds of our Pacific coast Al that northern
California has ever claimed, is Il fair cxamiua-
ton Of the route she Las presented, and has
ever expressed readiness to cheerfnlly abi1e
by the selection of the route, after al have
been examined, which offers the besl facilities
for the construction Of this great national
enterprise. While the north have been thus
controlled By national feeling upon the sub
jec5, the press Of San Francisco. with one or
two exceptions have exhibited prejudice
against tic examination Of a northern route
that must heartily disgust every candid per-
son who world facilitate the construction of
this great work. We make al extract from
the article alluded to:
"Doubtless there is much dficulty to be
overcome on the more northern r0Dtes in con-
sequence Of deep SHOWS during the winter
season, especially III elevated lands: and it by
no means argues that snow is not to be dread
ed st such times, because the gentlemen who
reconnoitered those routes, and from the very
uatlrc Of the circumstances by which they
were surrounded were compelled to move in a
hurry, met with TO great trouble from this
cause. It aGcs not follow, that because they
met vita little Or no snow that there Is never
any there, or that all winters are equally
