Of The construction BY Congress, OF rail-
road to the Pacific; but the citizens Of the
extreme South are much more concerned
10 regard to the prospects Of the next cotton

Railroad; and 50 i, il with all tho other

lighted 10 talk Of, and taught their children
10 understand, have been forgot,sn--''in
endless ma.es lost"-drisen into obscurisy,
By the one great and all-sbsorbing negro
question, . question that has been dis
.urbed from the quiet rest in which the
Sage Of Ashland left is-violen,ly dragged
into the Arena Of politics by INSCRIPTIONS
dsmagoguss, and forced upon the country
and the people by ambitious politicians
{. has spread itself over the whole
nation it ha, penetrated oil tho minute
manifestations Of our political economy. II
has entered the sanctuary, and from the
sacred desk ministers Of all demon nations,
preach the gospel and the "nigger;" it has
found It's way into tina Presidential mansion
a, Washington, and the venerable Chief
Magistrate talks and writes only about the
'nigger !" /. has gone into the Capitol, and
American Congressman spend their time,
aud the peoples money, making avs to
regulate the "nigger !" i. has gained admit
tame. into the higher branch Of the national
legislature, where grave and dignihed Sen
a.ors are occupied exclusively 10 discussing
matters pertaining TO the "nigger;' the
assembled wisdom of the harmonious
Democracy il thrown into worse than bab-
yionio confusion by the unceremoni
.,eppIn, 10, Of this gentleman from
Africa" Men Of all grades and conditions
10 society, think and talk only Of the all
enyrossing niger question. Eus this, like
other questions, has had its day-it has
IN onopolised public attention long enough
and is destined soon to take its place in the
back ground, with other supcranuated
hobbies. The question is one that has been
thrus. upon the people without their consent
and they are now determining to place upon
i; an eternal quistus. From the Atlantic to
tho Pacific, the people are preparing to
arise 10 the majesty Of their power and
silence forever, with ono effective blow,
'hi, vsxed and .roublous issue and upon
those unprinciplsd agitators who laid vile
hands upon the sacred compromises of the
constitution. and dragged forth, from its
quiet resting place, this question which has
so long disturbed the public peace, will
justly fall the full weight of public con-
dcmnasion. Crushed by the force Of popu-
lar Indignation, they will be, politically,
buried in oblivion - dead beyond all
expectation of regeneration or hope Of
resurrection.
