cause its domestic institutions may not in
all respects comport with the ideas Of what

other State. Fresh from g~roundiess i'm

men will commence the agitation of this
new question with indubitable violation Of
an express compact between the indepen-
dent sovereign powers Of the United States
and OF the republic of Texas, as well rs Of
the older and equally solemn compacts,
which aseure the equality Of all the States.
But, deplorahla as would be such a vio-
Iation of compact in itself, and in all its
direct consequences, that is the very least
OF the evils involved. When sectional
agitators shall have succeeded in forcing

different States be compelled respectively
to meet extremes with extremes? And,
if either extreme carry its point, what is

/ ga company was Incorporated by the Leg
/ islature of Missouri, nj its present session,
! for the establishment of stage line from
Weston to San Francisco. 1t is supposed
that the passage will be made in twenty days"
/ And so the first step towards the opening
! Of regular communication and public con
yeyance TO the farther side of the continent,
I has been taken. And the enterprise will, no
doubt, be carried forward,-if not by this
company, and now, certainly very soon, by
somebody else. And the same interest which
prompts the establishment of stage route,
swelling continually in Importance and daily
increasing in its demands,-the interest OF
trade and the chance for proht,-wil soon
demand more speedy and capacious means OF
travel and transportation. Railroads Will
follow, and follow soon; it cannot be oth-
erwise. the tendencies of emigration ana
the laws Of trade are as inexorable as late,
and though, for the purpose OF binding TO-
gether more firmly and ndissolubly the fra
ternal feelings and mutual interests OF our
countrymen on either side OF the Rocky
Mountains, we might wish that this great
enterprise were already done, or could be
commenced al once aud prosecuted with the
greatest possible energy, yet It is perfectly
certain that It's only question of time, and
that time not much longer than is necessarily
requisite for the construction of so great
work. We need trouble ourselves not at all
about its being ultimately done; and we need
trouble ourselves as little about the points OF
its commencement and termination: the ten
denotes Of trade and population, and the
weight and influence Of commercial enter
prise, will determine them both for US. AND
so much time has now been spent IN debating
the question of the general government un-
dertaking the work, that we are IN faror oil
It's being left 10 private enterprise and the
public spirit of our people. Mr.. Whitney
had plan Of his own for its construction
We thought il practicable enc, and thought
then as we think now, that it would have
been wise thing to acceptit. But il IS get
ting late for his scheme. Mr.. Whitney has
abandoned It himself, and publishes his hon
est belief that the expectation Of such work
is henceforth groundless. His plan may have
been good, but his prophecy is worthless
That the road will be built, is every day
growing more certain. The graeitation OF
trade is an ample foundation for better au-
gurv than that of NJ. Whitney. Commerce,
unaidedby any other than iher.own golden
sinews, will soon stretch her iron arms across
TO the far Pacific.
