TRANSIT ROUTES.

It would be a useless repetitionto to do more
than refer, with earnest commendation, to
my former recommendations in favor of
the Pacific Railroad, or the grant Of power
to the President to employ the naval force
in the vicinity for the protection of the
lives and property of our fellow citizens
passing in transit over the different Central
American routes, against sudden and law
less outbreaks and depredations and also to
protect American merchant vessels, their
owners aad cargoes, against violent and un-
lawful seizure and confscation, in the ports
of Mexico and the South American Repub-
lies, when these may be in a disturbed
and revolutionary condition. 1t Is my set
tied conviction that without such a power,
we do not afford that protection to those en-
gagged in the commerce of the country
which they have right to demand.

July, 1858, were exchanged at Washington
on the 22nd of May last, and the treaty it
self was proclaimed on the subsequent day.
There is good reason to expect that under
its protection and influence, our trade and
intercourse with that distant and interesting
people will rapidly increase. The rati6ca-

Gov. Letcher sent in message to the

Virginia, recognizing in our present relations
with nonslaveho ding States, an imperative
necessity for decisive measures, does not yet
mistrust the capacity of the Southern States,

reserved powers, to protect the rights and
liberties OF the people, and to preserve the
Federal Union. For this purpose we earnestly
desire the concerted action of the Southern
States but the General Assembly respect
fully submits to the consideration of South
Carolina and all sister States of the South,
that efficient cooperation will be more
safely obtained by such direct legislative
action of the several States as may be ne,
cessary and proper, than through the agency
of an assemblage which cannot exercise any
legislative powers, except to debate and

The Old Dominion is again furious mad,
because, forsooth, Gov. Kirkwood refused to
issue warrant for the arrest of Barclay
Coppock, in the illegal and unconstitutional
manner required by the disguised Vrginian
now in this city. Weprint in another column
q references to the message of Gov. Letcher
concerning this matter, as reported BY tele-
graph. If on account of their laundering stu
pidity, Virgins officials cannot get up the
papers required by law to be presented to our
Governor, they ought to call in requisition the
services Of somebody who knows how, and
not wilfully misrepresent the position of the
Chief Executive of this State Gov. Kirkwsod
distinctly stated in his letter to the Governor
of Virginia that, if the application had been
made to him in proper form, the requisition
must have been granted. As it was, he had
no more authority to surrender Coppock than
if requested to do 50 by private letter. Who
so stupid as not to understand this? Although
we should much regret to see young Coppock
arrested and taken to Virginia, we perceive
no way that it can be avoided under the law,
if the proper legal steps are taken. This is
the view taken of the matter by Gov. Kirk.
wood and large majority Of the citizens o.
Iowa.
1t may be proper to remark in this con.

creeds, in regard to the arrest of Coppock
They think Virginia has carried her bloody
work far enough, and that it is time for hsl
to stop.

DOUGLAS alternating HIS FRIENDs.-The
proposition of Senator Douglas to enact a
sedition law, as thorough and effective as that
which conferred an enduring odium upon the
Federal party, for the benefit of the pro-slavery
Democracy, is not met cordially by the
Douglas press. The Douglas editors fight
shy Of it. They wish it had never been made.
They dare not defend it, and from apparent
indications it would appear that they cannot
be made to connect themselves with it.
Douglas has ''put his foot in it." Such a
proposition cannot be carried through the
House, even if it should pass the Senate; and,
while it will be defeated, Douglas must bear
the odium of its origin throughout all his
future career.

East TO the West: If you can bring mol :

hands, $500 will to-day buy more land, or

than $1,000 would have bought two or
three years ago. With $1,000 cash in hand,
you can buy pretty fair farm in any State
west of OHIO. There is a great abundance of
land still held at absurd prices, but there
is enough that will be soll-indeed, much
of it must be soid--at reasonable rates. Go
