PACIFIC hAnAoAp SiA'"
The Pacific railroad bin being under consideration
! Mr. SHIELDS made some remarks in favor of the
northern route explored by Coy Stevens as being the
most practicable route and also alluded TO the adran
tages Of Puget's Sound as The western terminus over
SIN Francisco as ii was so much nearer to Asia and
therefore afforded a more direct route for the commerce
Of the eastern hemisphere The objection which he m ide
10 the bin under consideration was that while ii fixed
the termin it left the line of the road undetermined
and it might be carried north near the British posses
sons or south alopp the frontiers OF Mexico
Mr. DOOLITIIE inquired what WAS the question be
fore the Senate He had understood the senator from
Georgia 70 move to reconmt the bin with instructions
! The CHAIR stated that the motion had been made and
! decided not to be in order at that time
The question was put to the Senate whether the motion
| Affirmative
Mr.. DOOLI1II.E then moved TO amend the motion Of
Mr.. IvERsos by nsnctDg the committee to report bill
which he had prepared for three routes TO be selected
BY three boards Of engineers He spoke OF some length

read extracts from the speech delivered yes
! terday by Mr. WERsoS, commenting upon the same
He thought the dsunion sentiments there avowed were
to he regarded as the sentiments OF the party IN power
and presumed the senator from Georgia was tar expo
nent OF the administration, and possessed Its confidence
Mr. lNERSoN. The senator is greatly mistaken when
he says that am in the confidence Of the adminstfa
ton do not speak the sentiments Of the adminstra
ton so far as understand them. do not believe the
administration maintains sentiments such as ayosed
yesterday; and certainly have no tfhcal or personal
conncxon with the administration or any member OF it
although must say that approve of The conduct and
4 OF the general measures OF the administration
Mr, IluMBuLL proceeded to discuss Illinois polilcs
the Drtd Scott decsoi The case OF the Wanderer the
fugitive slave law, and various kindred topics ne sad
that While laws IN favor OF slavery were executed with
rgor, those opposed to slavery could not be enforced
and the official organ had declared that our institutions
were failure so far as their ability to resist this viola
ton OF law concerned Yet the people oi the North
in favor OF union because they expected IN due
time, and IN constitutional mode to redress these
abuses, When he concluded ilis renarks--
MI. WILSON obtained the foor and, on motion, the
Senate adjourned until Monday next
