Bridging the Missouri.

The Seargents Bluffs Independent, learns
that the "Big Muddy'' is about to be bridg-
ed at that place, and that the contract has
been taken by the we'll known firm Of Bore
AS, FRosr & Co. This firm has had much
experience in bridging-they always fulfill
their contracts, unless prevented by unfa-
vorable weather. We learn that they intend,
during the coming season, to bridge the
Missouri at all convenient points from its
mouth to its source. We have implicit con-
fdence in the ability Of the firm to do so,
but we decidedly object to the proceeding
considering it uncalled for. But, as one OF
our up-river contemporaries remarks, the con-
tract is made, and the contractors have COM
menccd operations, and we suppose, any
thing which we may say, cannot vitiate its
validity, or rctard the progress Of the work,
therefore we must knock under, and submit
to be tared for the purpose of aiding wha.
is facetiously termed a general system OF
internal Improvements. As this is one OF
the fundamental principles Of our political
faith, it may not be considered consistent in
US to object to its thorough application ia
our inland waters, VIC therefore forbeal
further remarks.

Demonstrated.
The recent elections clearly establish the
fact of the Permanency Of the Republican
Party.
A party that can stand up under the cir
cumstances of the present time is impregna-
bic. This is the first year Of sBuchanan's
reign. 1t was deemed by the leaders of his
party to be all important to crush out Re-
publicnnism at the first election held after
the Inauguration. Hence in Maine, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
&C., all the forces of the Pro- Slavery Ad-
ministration were brought into requisition.
Every Custom House, Post Office, Land
Office, and Light House were ordered to put
forth in money and men their utmost exer-
tons. All the Government newspapers,
Mail Agents and Contractors, and even the
| soldiers of the United States army, were
pressed into active service. 10 the Party of
Slavery this appeared the very time to strike
the strongest blow against Freedom. But 1t
has all been in vain. The Republican prin-
ciplc has come out victorious. Never before
did a party rally with such strength, after
Presidential election in which it had been
defeated, as the Republican Party has, in
the State elections of the present year.
Beyond all question it is to be the great
Party Of the Future. 1t will obtain the Gov
eminent and save the Republic.-Alb. Ere
