snid aword this subject had not certain gentlemen put
themselves Of their to assail the political character
Of the State Of Virginia lie should not yindicate the
Saefes doctrine OF Virginia democracy because it had

friends among the real advocates of that doctrine He
knew the views and opinions Of his colleagues well
enough 70 authorize him 10 say, that from his

ether that provides for internal improvements While
gentlemen took the ground that there ought to be
one two aud three roads constructed TO the Pacific
hA afta
ofeny road at all at the present time II the government
y connected with It IN any respect it will be for the bene
q q sort Of administering expedition worse
than the South Sea scheme the United States Bank,
il win esd to more plumber and corruption lie did not
believe the road in runping operation now, that
they would carry over it average than five pas
seugers and ton OF freight per day.
Mr. BENTON favored the reference of the snbectmatter
before the House 10 committees Of thirteen The bill and
substitute he said proposed to give this work to indvid
uas and not to corporations work Of this magnitude
could be accomplished except by body Of
der corporate authority possessing all the privileges and
benefits which be conferred by OF corporation
Che bill did not declare that the southern road shall
through the territories of the United States and 1t
question whether the people Of the South would not wish
10 stop this road upon the shores of the Gulf of California
The bill, he said ought to be explicit Again the
bill declares that the southern road shall pursue the most
eligible route 10 the navgabc waters of the Pacific The
ella and Colorado rivers of the Pacific and they
both naygable for 5aeaus and it is question II the
company constructing the road will not take advantage Of
this uncertain phraseology and call the road done when
is completed the banks OF OF those streams The
same Objection applied the northern Inasmuch
as the navignbe waters commence the western slope
OF the Rocky mountains, leaving it that the
pany under the provisions Of the BILL stop The
road There IN that Wilderness unconneced with any point
the lace Of Gods earth from which could get the
Pacific ocean Scyenty-two miles of alternate sections
were contained in this capacious maw stretching from the
western border OF the Atlantic States to the shores Of the
Pschc-and Is not that enough to make stop and
sidera Can swallow down these seveny-two miles Of
alternate sections ut gnp and then the previous
question: or to strike out the cnactng clause of the BILL the
sec OF which has been to cut off all discussion which Is
either practical to the point? ILaugher He consid
cred that road through the only ten parallels of latitude
over which any goes voluntarily and which fifty
