Railroads through the CITY.

Inc OofPoihpo authofltieS passed on Monday
last a joint resolution authorizing the appoint
ment of committee to meet committee of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad The object
of this conference VIC have not yet positively
learned, though we suspect the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is seeking privilege which the
authorities Of this city should never grant. We
have been led to believe they are seeking the
privilege Of extending the g Washington
Branch" through the very heart of this city to
the river, and then to connect with the rail
roads concentrating at Alexandris, by means of
a boat. Why should they seek such a privi-
legee There is now being constructed road
from this depot to Alexandria, which certainly
will be more convenient mode Of travelling
than tho one which We suppose they have in
view. There is now Tor soon will beg n contin-
GUS railway travel, there win be railway boat
and either staging or hacking. It is then clear
that public convenience IL not the consideration.
What is its In Baltimore, through tickets
are given to any Southern city, and the con-
struction Of a railway to the river through this
city by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, and thence its connection with the Alex
andria roads by means Of water, will enable this
company to convey tho through passengers and
freight as far as Alexandria. This would
doubtless be a profitable investment to the
company, because the construction Of the road
through the city would cost, comparatively, but
trifle. The effect would be to withdraw from
the Washington and Alexandria railway. which
is in course Of construction, connecting the
Same points as desired by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company by the shortest and
most practical route, and to which this city
loaned it's endorsement all the through travel
and much of the freight Washington city is
hardly prepared to commit an act 80 suicidal
Doubtless the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company will threaten us with the removal Of
their depot without the limits Of the city, and
the extension ofthis road, from some point be-
tween here and Baltimore through Maryland, to
q point opposite Alexandra. Our citizens
need not be alarmed ut such threat; such
road win notpay, a bridge win haveto be built
across Rock creek, and ferry will have TO be es
tablishcdat Alexandria; besides, the cost Of con-
structiDg a railroad from such a point through |
or even Washington county, will be |
considerable. We are aware that, through |
The excrtions ofthe Hon. Henry May, Congress
granted TO this company permission to pass
through Washington county, and to construct
! bridge across Rock creek. This was the first
'tcp in the grand scheme to Brighten this city
nto terms, but the grant viii amount to moth
ng, and our citizens need not be uneasy.

American Cause.

At public meeting Of the American party Of
Fayette county, Virginia, held October lltb, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Resoired, That instead Of being disheartened by
the result of the recent elections in this State we
are more than ever determined to press forward,
with the full assurance that American principles
viii ultimately triumph over Foreignism and party
thraldom. y ~ ea1a
Resolved, That we rejoice that the obligation o.
secrecy has been removed. and that men are now
permitted openly to proclaim their connection with
the American Order; and We cordially invite all
our Brother Americana of Fayette to aid us in up
holding and maintaining those free institutions for
the establishment Of which Washington fought
and Warren died.
Rssoiped, That we view with utter scorn and
contempt all low and slanderous insnuations that
may be made against the American party, and
challenge our adversares to full free, and fair pub
lie discussion, a. the only mode Of warfare worthy
Of free and honorable men.
We believe (says the Annapolis Gazette) Gen.
Bowie viii be reelected to stay at home, by ma
jorty Of about 800 votes, and Anne Arundel will
give $50 Of them.

Irish Remittances from America to Ireland.
We copy the following paragraph from the
Cork qrelandD Examiner:
"In 1853, the amount of money sent home for
payment of passages, as well as for various other
purposes, was FL ,439, 900; but in 1854, that
amount, vast and wonderful it was, was far ex-
ceedcd, it having reached FL 100000, or nearly
f3o0,ooo over what II was in the previous year.
In the history Of the world there is nothing like
this amazing proof Of the strength and attachment
which has ever distinguished and adorned the ca
Illuminated Irish race" a Az \.
Thus it is readily perceived that the Irish
population Of this country RENTED, during the
year 1854, eight millions two hundred and fif-
ty thousand dollars which amount Of money
was expended in dcfraying the expenses Of inn
migrants to this country. 1t is more than
probable that every fanily in ireland has a
representative in this country, who hoards.up
from his scanty earnings, enough to pay the
cost Of transportation of the remaining mem
bers Of the family. This Irish paper asserts
one other fact, viz: these remittances evidence
the Z. strength and attachment" Of the Irish Of
this country to the land Of their birth.
We expcnd annually millions Of dollars in
maintaining foreign paupers, and large
amount in prosecuting foreign criminals; we
feed the hungry and clothe the naked; we
grant them the rights Of citizenship, and CON
fer upon them honors and emoluments, and
yet they are not satisfied; we must even pay
the cost Of transportation, What a privilege
indeed, we are thus permitted to enjoy We
arc not only permitted to invite "onr compa-
ny and entertain them" but must even pay
the cost Of conveyance. What pleasure,
And all this charity and benevolence on our
| part but proves the +" strength and attach
ment of this illuminated race. Eight mil
lions of dollars annually expended in Irish re-
mittances-cnough to float our entire navy.
In the history Of the world there is nothing
like this amazing generosity they are mot
satisfied They live upon our substance. yet
they want our political blessings, and seek to
model them after their own crude ideas Of lib,
erty, freedom, and equality. They sit at eoui
table and around our hearthstones, and still
they grumble. Their appetite cannot be sati
ated, their wants cannot be supplied, nor car
their wishes be gratiicd; yet our doors are
open to them How long must we bear al
these grievances2 Selfpreseryation is thu
first law Of nature" The time is not far dis
4 tant when We shall even be compelled to for
sake the 81 Old Homestead, " and leave 1t to thu

honors,' to protect our rights to perpetual,
