Gentleman A bill has been presen ted
for the Executive approval, entitled AN Act
to Incorporate the Phisdelph aCity Passenger
Railway Company"
1.-THE bill proposes to authorize the incor-
poration of Company. with the power to
construct passenger railways upon Chestnut
and Walnut streets, in the City cf Philadei-
phia, upon certain terms aud conditions set
forth in the bill
Ihe streets named are veil known to be of
the greatest Importance to the city OF Rhlia-
delpEia, and any legislation affecting them
should be carefully considered, well matured,
and only adopted upon the clearest evidence
that it is in accordance with The wishes of
the people of the City, and particularly OF
those directly aud immedi ately interested IN
those great ehoroughfares Unlike nearly
all the bills which have became laws. in
reference to passenger railways the city Of
Philadelphia, the one under consideration
does not require to its validity the assent of
the local leg lsiature OF the City. The ex-
clusisn of this wise provision from the most
Important bill! of the class, is Of more than
duobtful propriety.

is that the General Assembly. at its last ses-
sion, passed an act incorporating Company
with power to occupy the streets referred to
for like purpose. The act, however .contaius
a provision that it should not go into opera
ton until the assert of the City Councils had
been first had and obtained Now if this
assent had been Withheld. it is clear evidence
that the body whose province it is more i'm
mediately to oregulate and controil the streets
the streets of the City, are unfavorable to
this grant Of power Whilst, OF tie other
hand. if the consent of the councils has been
obtained, and the former act has hereby gone
into operation, | know Of no reason why that
act should be repealed and the proposed one
substituted in its place and stead.
For these reasons, l am constrained to
refuse to this bill the Executive approval
and herewith return it for reconsideration to

1t is to the superiority of her mechanical
skill that England is indebted for ner wealth
and her prominent position as a commercial
nation. The immense commerce of England
is based upon her manufactures These she
gives in return for the grain, the cotton and
tobacco of America. the costly spices and
luxuries of Asia and The West Indies, but for
the skill of her workmeu. for her machinery.
or the inventive genius of her race. she wo'd
not have that commerce and that wealth
This genius is our property too It has
found under our free institutions and liberal
laws, most congenial atmosphere, wider.
nobler field of activity. 1t has achieved great
things already, and will achieve greater ones
still.
Let US not underrate the value of the in
veLtive turn of the American mind, and the
mechanical aptitude of our people. These
are our talents, which we must not bury into
the ground 1t is by industry, not glorious
battles, nor brilliant oratory, and such like
feats, that true national greatness is acquired
and it is wise government that adopts and
enforces the most effective laws for the en-
couragement and development of industry

American Inventive Genius.

Most Of the really great inventions of the
present age have been the result of American
ingenuity In the appliances of the arts OF
and peace We have taken the lead of the
world
If the United States ere not as yet entitled
to claim position among the great manufac-
turing nations of the world, they rank bis her
than any of them in point of invention and
instructive genius. This is something to be
proud of, and in fact it is the truest test o.
capacity for the arts of civilization and sure
guarantee of future emiuence. The London
Quarterly Reuie,c, in an elaborate essay on
this subject, advances the proposition pat
cnts and progress go hand tn hand" and
proceeds to state that in Europe, England
and France grants the largest number, Aus
tria, Russia and Spain the smallest
The number of patents granted in the
United States however, exceeds that Of Great
Britain by one half nearly. as will appear
from the following table of patents granted in
four countries during the year 1857

eGs~ In looking over an old work a few days
ago, our attention arrested by the following
sentence, which we think embodes a great deal
of truth in few words 1--WE have just enough
Of religion to make us hate, but not enough to
make US love, one another" 1t is impossible for
a sincere Christian to be bigot. for charity is
the essence of christianity. The idea embodied
IN the above sentence might be applied with
truth to portion of the Democratic party in
this State at the present time. They have just
enough OF Democracy TO make them hate their
brethren, but not enough to make them sincere
members of the party. They are sufficiently
identified with the party to warrant them in
claiming share Of the spoils when it has pat
ronage to dispense, but are always among the
missing during the hour Of darkness and trial
They are always ready to condemn the course
pursued by the majority of their brethren, if it
does rot chance to tally with their peculiar views,
but are always loud in talking about Democracy
and consistency when they think the current is
running in their favor.
The efforts of few demasogUes to keep alive
the Lecompton controversy is truly disgusting
1t is now an obsolete issue, and yet we hear the
deluded followers Of the editor of the Philadelphia
Press prating about it daily, and procIaiming
themselves to be the only champions of popular
sovereignty. While they claim to be the true
Democracy, they are endeavoring to disorganize
and destroy the party. We would advise them
to take on an additional supply Of genuine De-
mocracy before they undertake to vindicate and
assert the principles of the Democratic party.
