INDEPENDENCE OF THE PACIFIC TERRIFIC.
RI. A long time ago that sagacious and far
seeing statesman, William II. Seward, said,
in the Senate, that the Pacific railroad was
more needed for the preservation OF the
Union, than was any legislation on the sub.
jec, Of slavery, He apprehended no danger
that the people the South would desert tho
federal Union, because they could not
stretch the institutions OF slavery beyond
the constitution but he plainly saw that
the enierprising and adventurous people OF
California would not consent 10 be separated
from the seat Of government and the facili.
ties Of commerce by distance which rem
dered their position provincial.

fornia, looking towards separation, indie

IMPORTANT II TRUE-THK PRosPEcT IN
EUROPE. A Paris correspondent Of the
New York Tribune aflirms that the mission
Of Lord John Russell is not peace mis-

Conference Of Vienna. England, at this
moment, desires the destruction Of Sebas,o-
pol more than a peace, but she desires,
above all, war. This is the real seniimen, Of
The aristocraiic men OF England at this time
