Railroad to Donaldsonvil1e.

We learn there is some excitement among
the planters along the route, respecting the
organizing of a company and the building oil
a Railroad from this place to DonaldsonvilIe
to connect with the DonaldsonviIle and Ope-
lousas Railroad, ria Thibodeaux. A charter
has already been obtained for the Donaldson,
vile aud Thibodeaux road, and there is no
doubt of its early completion. The line that
the road would take from this place 10 Dom
aldsonville would not exceed twenty miles in
extent, as we learn; and there is one thing
certain, that there is not greater wealth 10 the
State within that distance, nor a section where
tho stock could be quicker obtained, nor a
road that would pay quicker and better. Get
it into operation, by all means.
The stock for such a road could be obtained
without difficulty. 1t would be the interest of
every planter to lend a helping hand to such an
enterprise. With such a road, we could reach
New Orleans from this place in four or five
hours. Now is the time to use our RAILROAD
Tax" if we are ever TO have the benefit Of il.
We will have more to say on this subject soon.

The papers hero contain Col. Fremont's
promised letter on the great political ques.
tions of the day. With regard to the vexcd
question Of slavery, he says:
ut would be out OF place here to pledge
myself TO my particular policy that has been
suggested to terminate sectional controversy.
A practical remedy is the admission of Kan.
sns MS free State. The South should, in my
judgment, earnestly desire such consumn,a.
ton. It would vindicate its good faith md
correct the mistake Of the repeal of the Mis-.
souri, Compromise, and the North having
practically the benefit of this agreement,
would be satisfied with measure perfectly
consistent with the honor of the South and
its vital interests"
He further says, that free labor cannot be
driven from Kansas without provoking n
desperate struggle, and that the monopoly of
the soil and slave labor to kill it, might 70.
duce the emigrants to labor on the same
terms as slaves.

TO THE FACTS.

ITO judgs' tree BY it, fruits,' cannot
BE- otherwise than fair and right. When Mr..
Fillmore, by the death Of General Taylor,
became President, he found the whole country
agitsted. excited and sectional feeling greatly
embittered. Abolitionism was furious and
patriots every where trembled for the safety
Of the Union. But BY the close Of his official
term pence was restored to the country-in
oil our borders was eonfidense, the South had
csused to fsar, and abolitlouIsm was not
respectable at homo.
In this happy condition the present ndmin.
istration found our people. How is It with US
now! In doctrine, we have Squat,er sover.
eighty, nnnaturalized foreign suffrage, pro.
seription Of Americans for believing that our
own people ought to rule our own country,
the right Of all foreign governments to send
their indiscriminate population here At discre.
ton, md the right Of this population TO
equality with our own people In the division
Of our lands and the choice Of our rulers, and
a constant, wilful, slnnderous and malicious
Misrepresentation Of the American party rs
religious proscriptionists. In fact, we have
agitation, abuse Of the ballot box, nbolitionism
more powerful than ever before known; M.
tional men prescribed, freesoilers in power
foreigners converting privileges into rights
and making our hospitality the occasion o.
our abuse, positive Black Republican or
ganization, sectional strife, and actual civi
war--our own people shedding our owl
blood on our own soil. Can the ndministra
ton which holds these doctrines and produce,
these fruits be right, Shall It be continued
Mr.. Buchanan endorses II and promises il,
continuance II elected, and adds to the cata
logue other monstrous propositions in regard
to our foreign policy which even Gen. Pierce
could not approve! Mr.. Fillmore is ngain nj
our bidding, and nobly pledges scrupulou,
continuance of that constitutional polio,
which gave us pence before. Mr.. Buchanan
is but to nggravnte that policy which gives U.
so much trouble now. Which shall VIC
prefer!"
