New YoRK, June l. 1860.
The HoN. NJ. :. LATuAM-Dear sir. \ com

gions which it is hoped will I've the western
portion of the railway TO the Pacific The
company has ample means to construct the
work, although the cost is estimated at Sl7,-
O0oO00. and it is composed of some of the
most euterpri-iug and responsible men in
England l expect parties here soon to rep
resent the company, with ample power to
place matters on a footing to commence as
soon as possible.
cannot, of course. put spade Into the soil /;
nor cnn it enjoy any franchises Such pro
ceeding must first be made lawful by Cali
fornia. But it is supposed her Constitution
will prevent the Legislature from passing
/ law enabling such company to build this
! road | know it prevents the Legislature
/ from charterihg any railroad corporation and
/ it prevents the formation of limited liability
companies therefore it may prevent it from
declaring it shall lie lawful for this company
to build the railway.
The State has however. conceded the right
to the United States to build or cause to be
/ built n railroad across its territory, and Con-
| grrss is now considering what is the best way
| in which it can he done.
This company supposes it is in the power
! Of Congress, under the above mentioned con
cession, to make it lawful for it to build this
road, as W ell as to authorize any citizens to
| build it, and the parties pray for the passage
of an act to this effect. 1t asks no money or
! Government bonds in advance 1t asks no
/ Government contracts in advance for carry
| ing the mails and munitions of war 1t will
| be ready to perform any service for the Gov
elnment in its power. 1t does however ask
and expect grant of public lands, on the
condition it shall build the railway.
1t seems important that public work so
much wanted by the people and so well cal
culated TO augment the resources of the
country, should be uudertuken and these
parties will do it if they can be permitted
and encouraged.
Now the question is, can Congress, or will
il, pass an net making it lawful for this com
pany 10 make this road? = Ina few

Free Speech.

Very peculiar is the line Of action adopted
10y the Republican party Since the time Of
the organization Of that party, it has herald
ed forth to the world, the cry that it was
not allowed a free expression Of opinion.
This cry has daily been growing stronger and
stronger notwithstanding they now set up
the boast that they are the strongest party
in the land and can elect the next President
The first appeals Of That party for sympathy
might have been parloued. from the fact
that they had just started into existence; it
was acknowledgement of weakness on their
part But how can we reconcile This cry
tor sympathy now, with the vaunted alleged
strength Of the party. 1t cannot be recon
cjled by any course of reasoning. The truth
is. IL is but one of the tactics (nnd the prn-
cipal one) forming the line Of action adopted
10y the party. They have inscribed the
words free speech" upon their banner
Free speech" forms the staple of many of
their speeches and writings. In short, it is
a subject upon which they are remarkably
fond of expatiating. 1t has perhaps served
their purpose to some extent, but we believe
the day of its availability has gone by-and
why? Because the Republicans themselves
have abused the right Of free speech This
will be shown by the debates in Congress
and speeches elsewhere delivered. Free
speech does not consist in browbeating OF
hot boastful and abusive TRADE. 1t is digni
lied, calm, courteous and firm. 1t is a right
guaranteed to every American. but one which
is too often shamefuly abused.
We hold that the Republicans have, even
since their organization as a party, abused
this right, and that their continual cry OF
free speech" has been for the purpose oI
subservng political end. But let them re
member that "yaulting ambition doth DER
/ sleep itself" 1t will not do for them TO APP
plaud the abusive harrangues of their Sum
ners and Lovjoys, while claiming that they
are denied the right of free discussion In
this connection we also commend to them the
good old saying that "those who live in glass
houses should not throw stones at their nigh
bors." Let them first learn what free speech
is, or ought to be. We have had quite
enough Of the kind which they would give
