sESArE.-on Saturday, after our report closed,
On motion Of Mr.. Gwin, the House Pacific
Railroad bill was taken up; when
Mr. Seward said, that he regarded the connec-
best securities Of the Union of the States He had
aided to the best of his sbilipUsll measures pro.
posed for the construction Of a Pacific Railroad,
and had subjected his own views and preferences
to the majority Of the committees engaged upon
that subject. In regard to the details previously
laid before the Senate by him. the northerly
route Of the road was the most natural and feas-
ible. One road was better than two, but he
yielded his own views for the sake of harmony
and peace He should vote for two roads instead
Of one, because he believed that bill for one
road cannot pass, but bill for two can; and he
would not delay the passage Of the bill by send
ing II back to the House with amendments, as
the House had already adopted IL, which was
half the work done. II after thi. bin passed,
would vote for Il The evil of our time il ser-
tionalism, and the peril disunion. Whilst be
should listen and continue to listen tn ali prop
esitioHs for the removal Of the threatening diff
culties, for this one he was prepared to vote
He wanted It to be seen and read Of all men,
that whilst the Union 10 said to be falling to
pieces Congress was apPropriating 800 0O0, 900 to
carry into effect a work which will bind the
North, South, East and West, with a bond Of
eternal Union. This measure favors the progress
Of the North and the development Of the South
There was no wasteful sacrifice in passing this
bill. He did 1t to save the Union; and In few
years Ii would bring back into the Treasury
enough to reward the whole outlay. Itwould be
