Pacific RAILRoAp.-The passage of a
Pacific Railroad Bill through Congress, is
cause for hearty congratulation to the people
of this coast, provided the law contains a
Hye Railroad. We will have to wait several
weeks before copy of the law will arrive
(assuming that it will become such,) so that
the public may be informed as to its provi-
sions. The bill may have been materially
amended since its original passage in the
House, and therefore more likely to engage
Railroad capi'alists-for it was the opinion
in we'll informed circles, that in it's original
shape there was no Railroad ia the BILL
Again there is a great want of faith in the
Government being able TO assume heavy
money responsibility in this work, at the
present time, when the resources Of the ma
ton are taxed to the utmost to sustain war
the end of which may yet be distant.
But the passage Of any Railroad bill thro'
Congress, is an encouraging event for the
Pacific slope, and let US hope that there is
really locomotive in it.

Tie Democra OF Utica had time on
Thursday evening over the result of the
election, and Mr.. seymour, being in the
city, was called out for speech. A synop
sis is thus given in the Utica HefdlG "'.
His address was mostly COZ gratuatory
Of the fact OF his election. -- lie Thanked the
electors for their verdict on the aspeIsions
that had been cast on his principles and 10y
atty. The decision OF the ballot box he re
gardrd as sufficient justification of his
antecedents. The victory had been won not
alone by the votes Of Democrats, but by
those OF conservative men, OF all parties.--
1t was due largely to the letters OF soldiers
who had written home entreating their
friends to support tie Democracy. The vic
tory would carry joy through the whole, ma.
ton. From this time hepceiorth it would
be seen there is q great Union party all
through the South, who desire to co operate
with party ,bcy know to be ready to wel-
come them back into the Union. The suc>
cess Of the Democracy would bring back the
country to the position Of years ago, when
the Constitution was the supreme law, and
the laws were impartially administered. L.
Hence iorth the laws were TO be obeyed, and
constitutional authority respected The De.
mocracy would offer no opposition to the
legal actlons of the President. 1t was not
their intention to ohstiuct any constitutional
measure OF the Administration; on tie con
trary it would be sustained in every constliu
tioral demand for the prosecution Of the war.
There must be no higher laws but only
the law OF the Federal compact. lie denied

not loyal to the Government. They opposed

The Washington Repubic, the organ of The
Aboliionists at the Federal capi al, declares
the meaning of the late elections to be re
bake Of the Generals ior their tardy prose
cution Of the war, and that the President
will doubtless so regard it. We have no
doubt that the persons who brought the
pressure on Mr. Lincoln to compel him 10
issue his Emancipation Proclamation haye
got him in that condition Of mind that they
can, if they wish, make him believe the
moon is made Of green cheese. When he
yielded to the pressure OF the force of which
he complained 10. the border slave State Rep
resenatives in Congress, he acknowledged
to being veak-to his inability to resist it,

pressure to bear on him. They have Since got

TreasOH!

Section of Article 3 of the Con-
stitution provides that
'TreaSon against the United Ssates shall
eenaist evly in levyiRg war against them, or
In adhering to their enemies, giving them aid
and com 'ort.n
Under this definition of treason, the
Abolitionists claim that man who op-
poses any act of Lincoln's Adminis-
tration, or who exposes the frauds and
peculations of which many of its men,
bers are guilty, is traitor. And the
President himself has gone beyond the
bounds of che Constitution and laws,
and authorized his Provost Marshals
to arrest persons for "discouraging
enlistment" or ''any disloyal practice"
By the loose Interpretation of the Abo-
litionists, voting the Democratic ticket
is the highest degree of treason. Be
cause, they say, no acts could afford
such aid and comfort to the rebels and
give such encouragement to them in
their unholy word as the success Of the
Democratic ticket. And if giving ut
terance to opinions be treason, much
moro is ittfeasen to sustain those SEN
timents by votes. Talking is the in
cipient crime-voting is the commits
sion Of the overt act. It is only, how
ever, in the shallow brains Of the fa-
natcs that such ideas exist; and now,
since the election, they can see their
folly in the impracticability of punish
ing whole political party, who all
hold the same opinions and whose bal
lots have gone in the same direction,
when the traitors exceed the loyal cit
izcns by over 100000 men. IF the
Abolitionists can not learn what trea>
son is from reading the Constitution,
they cAnast fail to catch glinpses of
THE true Interpretation from seyerer
lessons in political defeat. Along with
the definition of treason by modern po-
litical charlatans, comes a new mode
of trial. A deputy Provost Marshal
is stationed in every county, whose bu-
siness it is to arrest men guilty of that
new crime, set down in the catalogue
by the President, and without the least
authority, known as "any disloyal
pracsice." lie takes the culprits in
hot haste to some military camp or
dungeon, and there they remain till
the pleasure Of some one-man power
to hear the case made against them,--
IF tried at all they are tried by mil
itary commission, and disposed of as
the commissioner shall direct. And
! this, too, is done under the Constitu>
ton which provides tat
"Fhe trial Of all crimes, except in cases o
impeachment, shall be By jury; and such tia
shall be held in the STATE where such crimes
shall have been committed
It will not do to say that the inno'
vation is founded upon any necessity
Because, in the Northern States, thu
civil laws are unobstructed and every
offender can be adequately punished
for his crilnes.-Ohio Patriot.

Illinois, All Hail!

The result of the late election in
the State of Illinois, which the tele-
graph was so tardy in announcing, is
gradually developing itself by the old
hut sure agency Of the mails, the results
from every quarter of the State are of
the most extraordinary character.
The Democrats now claim the popular
vote of the State by $4,000 majority;
they claim the Legislature in both
branches by large majority, and they
claim ten members Of Congress out Of
the fourteen elected. laos 7.e 7a'l -a.
This political revolution in illinois
is the most remarkable that has occur
reed in the late elections. In Penn
sylvania, and New York, Aboiitionism
was somewhat encouraged by the ac-
cession to its ranks of certain Dem>
ocrats, whose regulations, generally,
were not attractive. The desertion of
these didas but little harm. In Him
ois, however, some who, while Douglas
lived, were his most noisy followers,
went over to the opposition. Mr.. In
