plCIEIC RAILROAD.

Col. CcETis' Pacific Railroad bill, which
passed the House some weeks sincs passed
the Senate on Wednesday last, 30th inst,
by vote Of 81 yeas to IA nays. The Sen
ate tackled on several material amendments.
80 tha. the fate of the measure is still
doubtful, though We are not without hopes
that the House will concur in all of them,
6nd thus secure the speedy passage of the
bill and what is all important in this con-
rection, the signature Of the Presidsns-ss
it is pretty generally believed that Old
Beck approves of the Bill as passed BY the
Senate. The amendments of the Senate,
may be re.atsd in brief, as follows: Fixing
the Southern terminus of the Central Route,
at the mouth Of the Kansas river; providing
for Northern branch from Lake Superior,
through Minnesota, to the Pacific Coast.
changing the Western terminus Of the
Southern route from San Francisco 10 the
nearest point on Pacific coast: reducing
amount appropriated for Southern route,
and increasing that for the Northern roads.
If this bill shall pass, and become law,
as We have hopes it will, Council Bluffs will
be the starting point Of the Northern
branch, and new era will dawn upon US.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

A Convention Of Commissioners from the
several States, was proposed some days
since by Virginia, for the purpose Of agree
ing, If possible, upon some plan of adjust
ment. S.vera! States have responded to
the proposition, and the Convention meets
mex. Monday, February 4th. The PROPOSE
ton is well enough, and We hope the Gov
errors of each and every State, will appoint
commissioners to this Convention, though
We have but little faith that the Convention
will be able to effect anything satisfactory
in the matter it proposes to taks under its
special advsemsns. Still, We say, let all
the States be represented-a friendly con
sutation of this kind can certainly result
in no harm.

REvIEw on TIE VAN DYKE SERNoN.-The re-
vew Of this somewhat noted sermon, on Sun
day afternoon last, by the Rev r. H. CoNKLIE
drew together on audience OF unusual size, ill-
ing the large hall with compact and earnest
mass Of hearers The audience was OF mix
ed character as to sentiment, and embrsced ev-
cry shade Of opinion upon the subject Of slav'
cry. The portion barmonizing with the author
10 the claim that slavery is divinely sanctioned
Institution, being perhaps the least numerous.
The review was founded upon various texts of
Scripture The scope of the review was pret-
ty extensive. and embraced full tarersing of
the grounds taken, in a manner which no candid
mind will deny the fairness or ability OF. The
bold positions OF the Rev. advocate of slavery,
and in many respects the adroitness and piaus
biity with which they we're sustained, we're met
by the reviewer and stripped with ability and
concIusveness. so that it was easily seen, that
those who sympathised with the author showed
an unwillingness TO have its nakedhess made so
palpable, while those whose predictions were
with the reviewer wore an easy aud comfortable
air of selfsa,isIaction. or course, the estimate
OF the performance will take its force and col
oring from the proclivities Of each individual,
and as we understand il is the design Of the
friends Of Mr. CoNKLrN to solicit copy Of the
review for publication in The Telegraph per-
haps a further notice Of it is uncaed for, as in
case of such publication, every one who wishes
may come to.a deliberate and satisfactory con-
cusion about its merits or demerits If the
copy shallbe furnished US in time, the review
will appear in our columns next week. Those
in want of extra copies will please notify US
before the close Of the present week.

EaitOr sf lAs TslsErspA

You are aware, sir, some movement has been
made to suppress gambling and selling liquor,
contrary TO law and which has become an in
tolerabe nuisance 10 our village. Divers of orr
saloon keepers have been 6ned and promise re.
form. The question is many times a day asked
me- Why don't you complain Of your merchants
who violate the law as we'll as the poor saloon
keepers Now, Mr. Bditor, l, as an individual
have no personal feelings to crafty in this mat
ter, only in common with all good and right
minded citizens. The thing eumplaued Of is an
evil great evil, not only to individuals, but TO
uS as commupily, and one that ought to be
driven from our midst and which believe may
be done, If the good citizens Of Ashtabula will
come up to the mark Of duty. And in answer
to the inquiries made, pledge myself as Mayor
Of this village that will notice any complaint,
accompanied with sufficient evidence. against
any person violating either in gambling or sell
ing liquor contrary to law without fear or favor,
care not where it falls, on high or lOlO. rich or
poor, and will administer justice wherever il
may fall to the best of my judgment will
say in conclusion that the matter Of abating the
things complained Of does not lay with the
mayor, or with one or two Individuals who have
thOs far entered the complaints and furnished
the evidence bat is with the people Of this
village to say and do. The nuisance complained
OF may be Abated, but the people must do it.
