Mr.. BADGER on THE VETo.-We find in
Mr.. Badgers speech upon the constitutionality
of the bill for the relief of the INDECENT Insane,
recently voted by President Pierce. He con-
tended that Congress had the power, without
limitation, to dispose of public lands, and read
from the journals to show that such strict con,
structionists as Messrs. Buchanan, King, Nc
Duffie, McLane and Polk had voted for and
supported such bills and that they had been
approved by Mr.. Fillmore.
The National Intelligencer styles this effort
of Mr.. Badgers mastery argument, and says
it was listened to with profound attention.
We shall lay this speech before our readers
in a few days. N. c. Star.

This is Monday, and, to test the truth Of the
universal opinion that the E. T. & Ga. is the
best railroad IN the United States, jumped up
on the cars this morning, and in few hours
found myself "away down South in the State of
Georgia" in the midst of pineapples and par
rots, and other tropical fruits, flowers and
birds. This railroad is all, and more than he's
been said of it. 1t is the old Hiwassee road,
graded Is or l8 years ago, and its name has per-
haps been changed in consequence of the bad
repute of the script of that name a few years
back. Talk about your Baltimore and Ohio,
your Central, or Richmond and Potomac, your
Danville or Southsde roadsi Here is a road
that is a road. As friend in the cars express
ed il, they pull off the bride, let go the strings
and turn the iron horse loose, and he dashes on
his way with fearful velocity. By the watch to-
day, we travelled upwards of 40 miles per hour.
