CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g.
HoTsE-The House resumed the consideration
of the motion to refer the Presidents message to
q committee of the whole.
Kr. Smith, of Tennessee, replied to the argu.
ments of Messrs. Campbell and Sherman, saying
that he saw in the remarks of the latter gentle
men, an effo,t to unite all the elements of oppo-
sition to democracy in the next Presidential eec.
ton; but he believed the scheme would fail.
He proceeded to argue that the repeal of the
Missouri restriction was not condemned iu the re-.
cent canvass, as had been so freely asserted by
gentlemen on the other side.
House-Mr. Smith of Tennessee, replying to
the remark of Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, and Mr..
Sherman said if they had confined Themselves to
making excuses for their defeat he would not have
thought it proper to respond. They had charged
on the democratic party the entertaining of differ
ent sentiments in different sections of the Union
but this was silly-it amounted to nothing on the
public mind. He saw in Mr. Sherman's speech an
effort to unite all the opposing elements North and
South against the democracy in the next Presiden.
tial election. Sd.
He saw back down from all the positions
heretofore taken by the Republican party in this
House relative to the question of slavery, but this
scheme will not succeed, the other gentleman (Mr.
CsmpbelD, had stated that the great principle of
Nebraska bill, and the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and the policy of thepresent administra-
ton had been condemned by three hundred thou
sand votes So far from this, as he proceeded to
show, they have been overwhelmingly approved
by the people of the country. He maintained
that they are opposed to sectionaism as was shown
in the result of the Presidential election. As to
Mr.. Buchanans principles they are embodied in

ANOTHER TERRITORIAL QUESTION.


The territory of Utah, of which BRIGHAM You've
is Governor, has a delegate in Congress with in
structions from his constituents to ashland if
needs be to demand-its admission into the Con-
federscy Of States. The only grounds of opposi-
ton to her admission, will be, we suppose, the in
stitution Of polygsmy which exists there by legal
authority. However shocking to the morals of
more enlightened civilization, Congress certainly
has 20 power over the matter. Like the institu-
ton Of savery, it is one of the domestic relations
that can only be regulated by the people them
selves. There is nothing in the Federal Cons.itu'
ton on the subject, and if Congress undertakes to
say how many wives man shall have, there Is
serious danger Of their establishing bgamy IN the
District Of Columbia, where they are personally
interested, and over which, it has been said, they
have absolute jurisdiction. If Congress could
determine that man should have but one wife,
the same power could impose upon him Dozen
As there is q superabundsnce of old msi1s in the
North and as Free Love is getting to be one of
their popular heresies, with their present heavy
majority in Congress, who can say that they would
not take it into their head to impose species Of
polygamy on the South 2 We shall oppose Con-
gress having any thing to do with the subject.

SPIRIT OF THE PREss-PACIRIo RAILRoA

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The special Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia PennsylUanian, under date Of Dec 4,
says:
sit is supposed that the Republican majority in
the House, led as it is by notorious spectators in
the public lands will attempt to force bill through
to construct the Pacific Railroad, during the pres
ent short session; but as it is evident that no
measure can be agreed upon by them that will be
supported by the Democrats and receive the sigma
ture OF the President, 1t is fair to presume that it
will go over and constitute one of the great mea-
sures of the new administration. Much specula-
ton is being INDUCED in this subject, and ideas
have been thrown out by the opposition press that
because MIR. BUCHANAN, has repeated the dsclars-
ton which he made in 1858, that he was in favor
OF building railroad through territories to the
Pacific Ocean, in his late letter to the California
Democracy, therefore he will be in favor of great
plumber scheme upon which this project is to rest.
Now, the very reverse is the fact. / regard the
declaration of Mr.. BUCHANAN in favor of the Pa
ci6c Railroad, as suspicious of its economical and
speedy construction. 1t is in vain to evade the
issue 1T must come upon US. =
cit s not my purpose to enter into discussion of
the Constitutional power of Congress; the Ma
honal Democratic Convention, and other eminent
authorities, and the policy of the Democratic par
ty IN reference to grants Of alternate sections of
lands for railroads, have measurably disposed of
that question. But, standing as it does upon the
ground of high necessity it constitutes case en-
titled to the greatest consideration. li.l..
"Had there been any doubt as to Mr.. BUoHANAs's
position upon this question the present Congress

rsipt bill might haze been hurried IT, ough, based upon
the idea that anesS the Pacific railroad scas carried

The Natchez (Miss.) Free Trader, accompanies
the publication of Mr.. BUcHANAN's Pacific Railroad
letter with the following paragraph:
"We publish the above letter because it bears
the marks of authenticity. At the same time we
can not forbear expressing our hope that it is a
forgery. If it should however prove to be gen.
uine, it will then be time, as it will be the duty of

The Know Nothing Secretary of State, ST Frank
fort, Kentucky, having, with his colleagues, re-
jected and not counted the votes of six counties,
in the Presidential election on account of tech
nical informality, refused to allow committee OF
the electors the privilege of seeing and reading the
returns by which they were elected, in order that
a full and true statement of the vote might be
given to the public in semi official form.
Happily, however, the real Kentucky vote is
known accurately, but uuoffcially and it is one

AN ENCHANTED ISLAND.


A,wonderful stream is the river Tine,
As it runs through the realms Of tears 's.sf-
With a fautless rhythm and & musical rhyHe -
With q broader sweep and urge suoiimesd -
And blends with the OCEAN Of years
There's musical isle up The river Tine,
Where the sofest Of airs are playing
There's cloudess sky and tropieat climes
And song sweet vesper chimes
And the tunes with the roses are staying.
And the name of this isle Is the Long Ago;
And we bury orr treasures there; asz-as.s
There are brows of beauty and bosoms OF snow
There heaps Of dust, but we love them so;
There are trlnkets and trssses of hair. q
There are fragments Of song that nobody sings,
And part of an infants prayer;
There's lutte unswept, and harp without strings; -
There are broken vows, and pieces of rings,
And the garment she used 10 wear. j ffo
There hands that waved when the fairy shore
BY the mirage Is lifted in air; -. - = - +-t
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent roar,
Sweet voices heard in the days gone before, +
When the wind down the river is fair.
OH remembered for aye be the blessed isle, p
III the day OF life till night
Anfwhsn evening comes, with the beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing 20 slumber awhile,
May that "gEeenwood' Of soul be in sight!
