SENATOR'S Brown, OF Miss, Pugh, of Ohio,
and Thompson, of KY, take ground against a
Pacific railroad, and in support of their views
adduce the Wheeling and Cumberland (nationaD
road:
| That it would never be completed Mr..
Brown argues from the analogy of the national
turnpike, which the government undertook to
build from Wheeling to Cumberland, aided by

plenty; stone is plenty; few expenditures for
gradings are required; few tunnels or embank-

with here and there an exception, have turned
out improbable investments What would q
railroad over the deserts and mountains of
vast wilderness be likely to pay?
