Thursday, Jan. 6h.-In the S,nate the
French Spolation bill was taken up, and
Mr. Crittenden made long speech in its
favor 1t was then laid aside, and the Pa
cfic Railroad bill taken up. Mr.. Bigler re-
sumed and finished his speech on the bill.
Mr.. Harlan followed. Mr.. Ward spoke next,
in favor Of the southern route. Mr.. lverson
opposed the whole project. He knew no
company would locate the road on a south
ern route, and if located on n northern route
it would be Of no advantage to the South,
as no southern man would travel on the road
with his servants. He thought the time
was at hand when the South would be oblig-
cd to separate from the North, and to erect
itself into distinct coniederacy. The re-
cent elections at the North gave ample evil
dence that every State was thoroughly abo-
litonized this side of the Rocky Mountains.

triumph as Democratic one. 1t was sim
ply the triumph of Free-soil Democracy over
Abolition Whggery. Mr.. |. continued in
in the same vein for an hour or two, when
