THR PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-Hon. r. J. Walker,
in letter to the New York Herald, denies
that the Pacific Railroad Company with which
he is connected, is are party to the applications
fox aid from Congress. He says that his Com
pany is already on the way to the Pacific, and
are successfully carrying a railroad eight huns
bred miles through Texas, 10 its Western
boundary at FL Psso, without any grant of
land or money from Congress. The first Sec
ZION of the road is nearly ready for the rail;
one thousand tons Of the Pennsylvania rail.
road iron have been already shipped and will
soon be laid upon the track; whilst all the
money to complete ready for use for the next
section of fifteen miles, has been provided Mr.
Walker recommends that while the Southern
route will by no means be the only one to the
Pacific, yet that it is the best aud shortest
route between the two great cities of the At
lantic and Pacific, with lower grades, without
inclined planes, unobstructed by SHOWS, passing
through the most fertile country and the rich
est minerals of coal, gold, silver, lead and
copper, and that it is the first that will be
completed. Mr.. W. believes that the sums now
paid by the Government for postal and military
purposes, fixed on the same proportional basis,
compared with the service to be performed,
would enable his company to finish the road to
San francisco, aud that it will be finished to
FL Paso without any such assistance.

FROM the Philadelphia Enquirer.
WASHING ron, Dec. 9.

" ASnANNAONi wv -
Have ever told you OF wild speculation here,
on small scale? Just after leaving the Railroad
depot, one notices on the right new building Of
considerable dimension, aud evidently intended for
manufacturing purposes of some sort. It appears
that some one or more Adventurous individuals
have purchased of the proprietor of Mount Vernon
all the trees and shubbery left the estate, at
cost, of twenty thusand dollars. The building and
machinery spoken of will probably cost ten thou
sand more, and this large outlay is TO be reimbursed
by the manufacture and sale of Washington or
Mount Vernon canes. You will perceive that it
will require sale of at least thirty thousand Of these
canes, at as low price as one dollar apiece in
order to rep9y the original capital invested 1t is
easy to see that the speculation is a rabdly crazy
one, and that the only party likely to make any
thing out of it lie the owner Of Mount Vernon pro-
Vided he gets his price. But how will that sacred
spot appear to American eyes when it shall have
been denuded of every noble tree and graceful
shrub and meet the gaze with all the arid sterili-
~ Of barren DESERT / cannot avoid a mental
connection of such sacrilege with course Of Com
duct that would strip the rich garments from an
unprotected corpse.

the introduction of slavery into Kansas, and

bring il into the Union as free State. In many
portions Of the State, flags, banners, &c. Chose

the breeze, during the recent campaign, with
Buchanan, Breckenridge, and Free Kansas"
inscribed upon their folds.
tell you, gentlemen, that no issue present
ed by the SOuth-nothing bat the solemn
pledges of his friends to the people, that he
was utterly opposed to the further extension
Of slavery-could have ever induced Pennsyl-
yanis to cast her Electoral vote for Mr.. Buch-
snan. And TO day, there are more than one
hundred th0usand men within her borders who
voted for him on that, and on no other issueI
The "New Orleans Delta, evinees more than
ordinary political sagscity, in recent article
upon this subject, by the declaration that,
when the admission of Kansas into the Union
comes TO be acted oD, the South will learn the
manner in which the late contest was coDduc-
ted. She will find, we fear, that non-extens
sion Of slavery was the middle ground on
which majority of the supporters of Mr..
Buchanan, North, agreed to stand"
Than the foregoing, no truer declaration was
ever made. And If Mr.. BUcHAHAN proves recreant
70 the issue upon which be alone received his sup
by his friends TO the people, there will be reVo-
luton OF feeling in the ranks Of the Northern De.
mocracy that will SILVER that party as a strong
mau would shiVer egg-sheli Its adhe-
rents will not amount in numbers to respectable
forsgiug party. Democracy in the South gentle
men, is not Democracy in the North. The idea Of
a Great National Democratic Party is unmit-
igated humbng. For, while the Southern Democ-
Tscy were Sighting the late Presidential battle upon
the principles of the Cincinnati Platform, and
the rights of slavery extension, the Democracy of
the North-righ under the eye Of Mr. BUCHANAN
--professed to be fighting the same battle upon
the distinctive issue everywhere presented to the
people, Of Freedom to Kansas"
What ask, the country, North or South,
expect from the administration Of q man who would
thus permit bis friends to elevate him by deception
aud fraud3 Nothing, in my humble judgment, but
g coursemsrked by disgraceful vacillatOn and imbe-
cility. But, 10 conclusion, permit me to say that,
when sectionalism seems 70 reign supreme-when
every element Of the North is opposed to the
South, aud vice VerSd-when the great Democratic
party ITSELF the long boosted conservative element
Of the country, becomes sectional stopping as it
has doue to the most ignObe measures to accom-
plish its purposes-What other measures res

representation of its conflicting interests by the
