We publish today an article to which we az
taeh some degree OF importance, from the Pnila-
despbia Pe4.sasysGasa,s, ON :" the Pacihc Railroad
project before Congress-" and another and .
very curious article from that rampant organ Of
the JEFF Davis Southern disanion fac.iOn-the
New Orleans Delsa-on the hate Wheatland
parties, North or South
First, concerning the Pacific Railroad we sus-
pect there is something mere in this article Of
the fe,nsxoan,0a than appears upon its face,
from the fact that Mr. Buchanan has been spend
ing the last four or five days in the good city Of
Philadelphia, during which interval the Penn
syl,uatca has been spreading itself upon great
political distractions, and the glorious history,
victory principles and prospects OF the intallib,e
democratic party In this view, it is quite posi-
bic that this article upon the "Pacifc Railroad
PROJECT before Congress = may have been written
hy and with the advice and consent of Mr..
Buchanan himself and to clear bis skirts Of any
constructive responsibility for this grand land
swindfng Pacific Railroad conspiracy. 1t win
be remarked that the article in question covers,
substantially, the same line of argument against
this railroad project" as that Of the HERALD of
some ten days ago; and II We may receive
il as the semi Official foreshadowing OF Mr. Bu-
chanans policy touching the public dsmain, and
these railroad land joboers and spoilsmen, we
may well consider the President elect as entitled
10 the thanks of the country.
In this acceptation the democratic consprators
in Congress viii receive warning which viii
be apt to arrest their zeal IN this Pacific Railroad
project" AID which may, perhaps, persuade
them to await an Official Interpretation of Mr..
Buchanan's San Francisco Pacific Railroad let
ter. We interpret the editorial in question as
signifying tha; Mr.. Buchanan does no. intend
that his name or his correspondence shall be used
TO bolster no this monstrons railroad land swim
die but that be washes his Lands Of the whole
business, and that his public land policy will not
be the railroad land joboing aud lard robeing
spoils policy Of poor Pierce, nor anything like
il.
The other article, from the New Orleans Dtlta
on the declaration o. n. Buchanan n bis lac
speech 10 the Lancaster college yCuths-lhat 1t
would be the purpose OF HE administration 20
destroy any sectional party is also worthy Of
special notice 1t is very evident that this
Southern clique Of disunicn fre-ea;ers are
every day becoming more and more CONVINCED
that in catching NJ. Buchanan they have caught
a tartar. They cannot manage LIN, and
they cannot escape, FOR he is pledged
to destroy them. But they are r.
solved at least TO die game. Hear our
New Orleans contemporary. Speaking Of tue
signs of the Incoming administration, the DGtG
says:-"Tbe signs appear sigrifcaG: Of tenden-
ey, ifnot deliberate design, to nationa.ize tie
democratic party Of he North into practical
black republicaDisE; and o. the Soatn into sui
missonism-the same thing, only worse Then
comes the caution and III peril TO The President
elec;-"I.et Mr. Buchanan beware Row be aids
directly or indirectly, such result; sc hope be
win be wise aud not do 50. Ia. should he choose
10 array himself against the South, ua3er the
plea OF crushing secsonalis,n. Lex lin look - i.
well. aud De sure hat when be strikes Le ca1 al

such clustering and threatening IS tA.s ba.gay
. state Of serious alarm, among orr Southern FIRE
eaters. We gave a specimsn Of the sane sort o.
coiu frorn tho Richmond Ea.g,Ter tie o:h37 day.
From Richmond 70 New Orleans lively sgs-
pici5n exists AMONG these disurion Adventures
that they have oyerdoqe tie tning, and expected
too much Of The Pennsylvania creduiity o. Nc.
Buchanan, and are sold. We apprehend, too.
that before the expiration u the moatb or Matc1
this ultra sectional party Of the South viii
have learned that Mr.. Buchanan is not the Pres
dent to be intimidated by the noisy bravado o.
disappointed iactionists. disunionists and spoils
seeking demagogucs, however fr.shtful may be
The monsters they may draw that are 10 rush into
the White House and devour him should he re-
fuse to crawl in tho degrading footsteps Of poor
Pierce.
Tie declaration u Mr. Buchanan at Wheat
land against "any sectional party takes the
sting olt 81 this southern dsGnion faction, which
Lad modestly assumed for itself the privilege and
the exclusive right Of controlling his admns;rs-
tion. THIS faction now understands that 80 far
from being even tolerated Il Is TO be destroyed
for destroy is the word which Mr.. Buchanan
uscs; ard 10 this connection the word "destroy"
i good and We would not cnange il. "Des.roy"
viii do. Next. with regard to the Pacific Rail
road swndle: Considering the article to which We
refer a. at least approved by Mr.. Buchanan, let
cur democratic railroad jobDes in Congress. wao
are counting upon large iand spells operations
under his approval-let them. we say. pls this
hint into their pipe and smoke It, Little by lit
tie ve arc finding our way into the programme
81 the new administration and thus far i've deye-
Opponents are good-very good. Let Us have
-ome more. Like little Oliver, VITA his "nas,y
