route is that of the 80 deg. parallel. The
Colorado Desert is noiunsusceptible of cul-
ture. The Secretary is quite favorable to
this route, setting forth its advantages in
glaring colors. The practicability of sink
ing Artesian wells along the route was test
ed. The contributions to physical science
included In the results of these surveys are
exceedingly valuable
The final portion of the report is an elab-
crate consideration of the military defen-
ces of our Pacific territory 1t is argued
that Il railroad to the Pacific is indispensa-
bic, for the reason that it will be the only
means of throwing relief into the Pacific
country, In case of any co lision with a
maritime Power, and our Navy being in
adequate to the convoy of the necessary
number of storeships. A railroad commu-
nication is not only likely to be paying
enterprise, but will have the effect of for
tifying the western coast against attacks
from abroad. No stronger ground in favor
of a Pacific Road has been taken bv any
party not direc ly concerned in the specu-
lation, than that which is assumed by Mr.
Secretary Davis.

Convention,

The State Sentinel represents the Con-
vention Of the 9th inst as the largest that
ever assembled at Indianapolis. Harmony
and good feeling prevailed during the en-
tire deliberations; many were disappointed
no doubt. in not being the favored individ-
uals; but one thing should console them.
that is, that there were others whom the
Convention considered under all the cir
cumstances, to be better men to be put in
nomination, than those who were left out
for the present Every man has his friends
and every county has its favorite, and a
great many must necessarily be disappoint-
ed, but at the same time, if the convention
has been conducted fairly all will eheerfully
acquiesce in the will of the majority and
use their best exertions for the success of
the whole ticket. Some two or three Of those
who were nominated were not our first
choice, but we regard them as national men
standing right on the record worthy of

There seems to be diversity of opinions
among the fusionists of the country in ref
erence to the propriety of the President
sending his message to Congress before the
Lower House was organized.
Greedy argues that the President was
right in SO doing; one month, after the
meeting of Congress, he thinks was long
enough for the President to withhold the
message, under the peculiar situation of our
foreign relations. Others argue that the
act has no parallel in the annals of history,
and come down on the President in no very
mild terms. We look for the fusion Press,
except those which had committed them
selves before Greedy spoke out on the sub
iect, to follow in his wake and justify the
course the President, in his wisdom, has
seen proper to pursue. 1t is not expected
that the fusion Press Of the ninth will
censure the President for sending his mes
sage when the House was In chaotic state,
for the very good reason that Greedy justi-
fees the President in SO doing, and as they
take their cue from him, we shall expect
them to fall in with Greedy, or remain 81

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
NASHINGTON, Nov. ), 1854
SIR: | proceed TO communicate the
Presidents reply to the proposition of the
Danish government to the United States to
Join in a convention with other powers in
terested in the Sound dues, at Copenha-
gen, for the purpose of celebrating on that
subject
The friendly relations between Denmark
and the United States have never been In
terruptei The President chcrishcs an ar
dent disposition to sustain and strengthen
them, and he would extremely regret that
this determination to assert what he be-
lIeves to be a just right in an unexception-
able manner should be regarded as an indi
cation of disrespcct for Denmark, ora wan
of a proper appreciation of her friendship.
The exactions on foreign commerce at Tho
entrance into the Baltic have been a pro
ductive source of revenue 10 Denmark. and
it is very natural that she should struggle
to retain it. If these exactions were foun-
dcd in right the United States would be the
last power to interfere with her enjoyment
of them.
1t is not proposed to discuss the qucs-
ton of right in this communication: that
has already been done, and the United
States have adopted the conclusion that
they are under no obligation arising from
international law CIR treaty stipulation to
WELD to this claim. Denmark, on the con-
tcary, has adopted different and an oppo-
site conclusion. 1t is readily conceded
that both nations''are anxious to arrive at a
satisfactory solution of this veXed question.
The subject interests several other powers,
indeed all maritime nations, and Denmark
has invited them to be represented in con
vention to assemble this month at Copen-
hagen, to consider a proposition to be of
fered by her to capitalize this revenue, and
TO apportion among commercial nations
the sum to bc paid tor tins remuneration OF
the present mode of collecting it. The u.
States have been respectfully invited TO
send representative to the proposed CON
vention.
Without at all questioning the fair irten
ton of Denmark in proposing this meas
urc. the President feels constrained, bv a
sense of duty, to decline the acceptance of
this invitation The convention is to as
sumo as the basis of its proceedings the
very right on the part of Denmark which
the United States deny. 1t is assembled
without any power to pass upon the right
of Denmark levy a contribution upon for
eign commerce, but only authorized to add
just the share TO be paid by each nation in
lieu of the collections Heretofore assessed
upon their respective vessels and cargoes.
The United States, however; contest their
liability to pay any contribution whatever.

Col. Harlan,s speeeh.

C0l. John NJ. Harlan, OF kentucky, made q
glorious Fillmore speech last Saturday even
ing in this city. He had large and enthnsi-
aStc crowd of our best citizens in attendance.
although but few hours notice had been given
of the intended address. A couple months
ago Col. Harlan made in this city one of the
best speeches to which we ever listened. Pass
ing through Evansville on Saturday to fulfill
his engagement to speak at Henderson to-day,
he was not allowed to proceed till once more
he had gratified the friends of Fillmore in
Evansville in way similar to that in which
he had first introduced himself That he did
crafty them, it is unnecessary to say.
We have not space for even an abstract Of
Col. Harlan's speech. He drew comparison
between the men whose names are now before
the people for the Presidency, and the princi-
pies and objects of the American, Democratic
and Republican parties-reyiewin the lives
and characters of tie men, and graphically
depicting the present condition of their par
ties, and the consequences Of the success of
the one or the other. de pointed out the dan
gerous tendencies of sectional parties, and
more particularly Of that party Of men calling
themselves Republicans, with Fremont at
their head.
Lie gave the origin, rise and progress by
this party, and the dangerous principles sus-
tanned By many Of its acknowledged leaders,
looking directly to disupion. He asked OF
Fillmore men to affiliate with no party in the
Presidential election, but to pursue their own
course, fighting for the best man Of the three,
the only national man,and the only representa-
tive of National principles. Both other candi-
dates were the representatives of sectional
ism-and the triumph of purely sectional
party might prove the dissolution Of the Union.
If he spared not the Republican party,
neither did he show mercy to Buchanan and
his followers. He exposed Bdchanan's neon
sistencies, and more particularly his infamous
course towards Henry Clay in connectioniwith
the bargain and sale charge. He pointed out
to old Wings their duty in this canvass, and
made a strong appeal to old jackson Demo-
Gratis. Inhls remarks Col. Harlan spoke of the
success of Fillmore in kentucky by a heavy
majority as certain, and stated that he was
daily gaining friends in the South, and these
friends looked for triumph in States where
probably the enemy least expected Americans
would be successful We cannot now pursue
his speech further. 1t was good and an elo-
quent speech, and received with hearty enthu-
siasm. This will be admitted 10y even those
VINO may have found Objectionable matter in
the speech.

doings of the Vigilance Committee The cir
