the Columbia river, the Only great river Of the
Pacific, with the finest karbor in the world, not
wiihstanding the statements which it is alleged
have been designedly made to the contrary. This
is the opinion Of the most intelligent men of the
day, and those who have entered into the exami-
nation of the question, without personal motives
to influence them. The policy of the maritime
States must now yield to that which will recog-
nize the greatness and the value Of our trans
Missssippian territories those vast and temperate
plains reaching to the base Of the mountains, the
immense and fertile plateaus which le on aud be-
tween the ranges, the immense population waich
is to thrive there the great trade direct to grow
up with the Eastern world, and the Capitalization
geographically and politically Of the future
power Of the United States.
Mr. Buchanan then may well be excused even
by his Southern supporters for having taken the
only view OF tbe Pacific Railroad question which it
s possible for him TO take under the circumstances
He understands, as well as any American states
man ever did, the inevitable progress OF our couu-
try westward. He sees new maritime coast on
the Pacific, which cannot be refused; h. per-
celVes the necessity OF q dlrect and rapid CON-
municatiOn with our possessions there, and that q
railroad is only question of time. He, therefore,
cutting loose from the internal Improvement policy
of ancient federalism, adopts that undoubted and
unquestioned constitutional power Of making a
military road to the Pacific, which relieves the
question from all political embarrassments We
should not be surprised therefore, if in his first
message he should take this ground and zealousy
defend it. The expansion of this country beyond
its original limits must carry with it the neces-
sary means Of union, government and. defence
The great West is to be the future theatre Of the
most rapid progress ever yet made on this CONT
nent, and Mr.. Buchanan will not, and cannot,
check the march Of civilization in that direction;
nor will he strive to do so.

proprietor, and in addition has served as bank
president and cashier, and has sat in the Senate
of the United States Both Forney and Cameron
are selfmade men-both were born in compare
tive povery-both achieved their present posi-
tons by energy, skill and talent of various
kinda Forney, although born in Pennsylvania,
Is, we understand, q descendant from one of the
old Hugaenot families which were banished from
the South Of France during the reign of Louis
XIV, and that his family name was originally
written De la Forne He is Of good Calvinistic
stock, with touch of the fiery Imagination, the
frivolity and the generous susceptibility which
runs in the blood rich as the product of the
sunny vineyards of France. Simon Cameron on
the other hand, is descended from the old High
land tribe or clan of the Camerons. Proud
cold, selfish, determined, positive, money making
old fellows they were. Rugged as their own
mountains and rigid as the Presbyterian faith,
which they were first to accept from the teach
ings of John Knox.
With this chronological analysis of the candi-
dates, it will be seen that they make most beau
titul match, and if no outside influence was to
intervene and have direct bearing on the ISSUE
we hardly know which would come out victor
FOrney or Cameron-Cameron or Forney. In fact,
we wish there were two vacancies in the
United States Senate to be filed tomorrow by
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, so that both
Forney and Cameron could be returned to give
dose to the selfsuffcient Southern statesmen
who affect to look down upon men who COM
menced life as printers aud editors But in re-
gard to the present contest there is no doubt that
Forney will be elected, and that Simon Cameron
will have to wait until he performs better duty
for Colonel Fremont, in 1860, than he did during
the last summer.
The kings name is tower Of strength"
not only in Washington, but at Harrisburg as
well. Mr.. Forney is closely identified with the
fortunes Of the President elect, and his star is
now eliminating over the horizon. Mr. Bu-
chanan, according to the best information we
can obtain, has expressed himself as decidedly in
favor of MI. Forney as United States Senator.
1t is the first distinct, positive generous decided
statement of his views he has made since his
election, and will therefore have a great and
overruling effect on the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania Why should it not? II is really Mr.
Buchanan's first act indicating his intentions
since the result Of the Presidential election has
been made known. He did, indeed, pronounce
sort Of embryo inaugural address to the students
near Lancaster, in which he said he had decided
to so organize his administration as TO put down
secfionalism in every part Of the country, and
his first positive act is his decided preference for
John W. Forney. Upon that ground we have no
doubt that Mr. Forney will be elected to the
United States Senate-that the democrats will
rejoice while the republicans must take it quietly
and prepare to make better use Of their adj
vantages in the future.

tions naturally led to an increased expenditure,
and to more reckless, more profigate, and
therefore more brilliant society.
1t is due to Washington, to Congress, and to
the country at large, that the committee nov
appointed should take means to verify these no
torious charges. If Congress and Washington
are as corrupt as they are said to be, the truth
should be known; if they have been maligned,
they are entitled to vindication. In either case
the committee will obviously fail in its duty if it
confines its inquiry to the particular charge which
is its especial care.

ELECTION oF M UNITED STATES SENATOR IRON
PENNSYLVANIA Tomorrow the Legislature of
Pennsylvania. convened al Harrisburg will be
called upon 70 choose Senator o. the United
States. Only two candidates are presented
John W. ForDey Wy the democrats, and Simon
Cameron Ivy the republicans and Know Nothings
This election has excited great deal Of atten-
ton al over the country. in consequence of g.
intimate relations which have bncn maintail a
for over twenty years between the President elect
and The Senatorial candidate Of the Democrat,
party in Pennsylvania. IL Is supposed that the
contest will be clos. Some accounts state that
The majesty Of tledemocrlts on Joint ballot dor
rot exceed Fix votes others place II a. los -
three or four. From the intelligence conveyed
TO us by our well informed correspondents az Har-
risburg We are inclined 10 believe that The d.
mocrats will have clear majority Of SIX or more,
making all allowances for the absence or illness
Of members.
The democratic press, not only in rennsy lvaoa,
but elsewhere has expressed preference for NJ.
Forncy and have published eulogiums upon his
character. This appreciation has, however, been
confined 10 the democratic journals of New York,
New England, and the central States. The Vir-
GINA newspapers and the Southern press geue-
rally have been silent on The subject They have
heretofore expressed little or no sympathy with
he political aspirations of Mr. Forney. The fact
is that the Southern politicians and Southern odi-
tors are too apt TO assume empty airs of superb
orify when discussing the merits Of Northern edi-
tons and politicians.
Mr. Forney, like his competitor, Nc Cameron,
commenced his political life as a type setter he
was then foreman Of printing offlce-after-
wards an editor then proprietor ofa newspaper
was subsequently Clerk TO the House Of Repre-
sniati,es and has 6lled considerable space ia the
political world. IL is little singular that Simon
Cameron has run the same career with John w.
Fcncy IL also has been typeset,er, editor,
