The PAcuIc RArLRoAD.-It will
be Ave years since Congress passed the
bill for the construction Of the Great At
lantic and Pacific Railroad, making an
immense donation Of Government lands
on the line Of the road, also aiding by
Government securities amounting to mil
lion upon million Of dollars more, in order
to secure the early completion Of this great
,horoughfare between these oceans and
their inestimable and invaluable commerce.
The companies incorporated to construct
this important work, up to the present
writing, Notwithstanding all the aid given
them by the Government have not com.
pleted more than about ons-tenh part oil

quire between forty or Gtiy years longer

time about oIe-third Of the ties would bt

ing the efforts of the constituted authori
ties to maintain the life of the Republic
They did this:
BY infaping the passions of their ig
norant followers against the legally elect
ed officers ofthe Federal Government, ,ant
refralning from all reproach against trea
son or armed traitors.
BY procuring decision from the Dem
ocratic judges of our supreme court deny
ing the right of the Government to tht
services of the citizens of this State fol
the defence of their lmperilled country.
By discouraging men from volunteer
ing into the armies of the Union Thu,
rendering it necessary to succumb tt
treason or to pay large bounties, and sc
burdening every ward, township and
borough in the State with debt TO FL
the ranks of our armies.
BY opposing the enlistment of negroe:
for our defence, although one white man
less was required for every black one who
could be enlisted, and this at the very
moment when the battle of Gettysburg
was raging on the soil of Pennsylvania
and the result of that decisive battle was
uncertain.
By denying to our soldiers the right
to vote while fighting for the flag of our
fathers, on the plea that such rights were
not allowed by our constitution, and by
opposing an amendment which removed
their objection, and relieved our brave
soldiers from this disability.
BY exaggerating the public indebted
ness, denying the public credit, ,and teach.
ing that the financial resources of the
north were unequal to the suppression
of the rebellion.
BY shameful opposition to the meas
ures for extending relief to the families
os Union soldiers. and by a malignant
effort by these means to secure the sue
cess of the rebels in the field, or such q
protraction of the war as would exhaust
the nation in its efforts to subdue theil
friends.
BY now hcaping abuse upon the Gov
ernment for Furnishing assassins and their
accompices by demanding the release Of
leading traitors, by frowning down all
attempts to bring to punishment the
fends who starved our soldiers, and by
assuring rebels that neither in person or
property shall they be punished for their
crimes.
And if anything were wanting to COM
plete their intamy, we have it in their
determined opposition to free labor, and
to tariff which while it would make Ia
bor profitable by protecting the working
men of Pennsylvania from British com
petition, would largely increase the reve-
nue. essential to the maintenance of the
public faith and credit.

True 20 its Instincts.

The New York World is now engaged
in the work of destroying confidence in
the credit of the Government In this
it will feel at home, for it has had four
long years of experience in the business,
and has devoted itself to the labor with
great diligence. 1t says:
Secretary M'Culloch, then, is at the
eud of his tether He cannot come into
the market to borrow another dollar, un-
til after Congress meets and authorizes
another loan and it is currently estimated
that, by the middle of December, there
will be three hundred millions of unpaid
acquisitions or, in other words, that the
excess of the liabilities of the Treasury
over its resources will reach this amount
After giving utterance to this alarming
statement it adds:
This condition of things prove such a
want of foresight, prudence and capacity
on the part of the Republican rulers, as
demonstrates the necessity of putting the
Government in Democratic hands at the
earliest period the election will permit.
Instead OF coDgratulating the country on
the success of the late loans, we are filled
with indignation at the disgraceful man
agement by which the Treasury is bro't
to the verge of bankruptcy, notwithstand-
I ing the war ended the next month after
Congress adjourned.
To which the Buffalo Erprcss replies
that in such stuff it iuds the milk of the
cocoa nut. The government must be put
in Democratic hands. There is one diff
iculty the World will find in the way of
its remedy, and that, we apprehend, will
prove very serious one. The people
are to decide the question of handing
this Government over into Democratic
hands, and they will have to forget the
history of the past four years, before they
again entrust power with party which
gave aid and comfort to the enemy, by
assaulting the Administratlon--be -berating
its smismanagement-damaging its credit,
and declaring openly that tho war was
failure, when falsehood is indelibly
stamped by the record upon its every
position. The So called Democratic party
can never attain to power in this Govern
ment until traitors, rebels and the mur
derers of our fathers, brothers and sons,
are permitted voice once more in the
ballot box. When such are restored to
the rights of citizenship, there may be
kindred power enough, North and South,
to take the Government from those who
have saved it, but we do not believe it.

I..should fail to abjure you to remember
that all our national triumphs of law ano
humanity over rebellion and barbarisn
have been won through the wisdom and
the power of a simple, honest, christian
heart. Here is the grand lesson We are
to learn from the life of Mr.. Lincoln. -
Yon, Christian men who have voted, and
voted again, for impure men, for drunk
ards, for unprincipled men for selfish
men, for unchristian men, because they
were men of talent, of genius, or accom-
plishments, or capacity for governments,
and because you thought that good head
was more important than good heart,
have learned a lesson from the life and
achievements of Mr.. Lincoln which you
cannot forget without sin against God
and crime against your country. We
have begun to be Christian nation. We
have recognized the controlling power of
Providence in our affairs. We have wit.
messed in the highest seat the power of
Christian wisdom and might of an hum
BILE, praying man. Let US see that we
remain Christian nation-that our votes
arc given to no man who cannot bring to
his work the power which has mdae the
name of Abraham Lincoln one of the
brightest which illustrates the annals of
nation.
And here is paragraph beautiful in
inauguration and usefulness
/
I dare not speak the thoughts of gon-
geance that burns within me, when re-
call this shameless deed. I dare not
breath those imprecations that rise to my
! lips when think of this wanton extinct,
ion of of great and benefcent life. l
can hardly pray for justice, fully measur-
ed out to the mad murderer of his truest
friend, for, somehow, I feel the presence
of that kindly spirit, the magnetism of
those kindly eyes, appealing to me to for
bear. have come into such communion
with his personality that [ cannot escape
the power of his charity and his Christian
forbearance rnd the curse, rising like a
bubble from the turbid waters within me,
breaks into nothingness in the rarer at
mosphere which he throws around me-
If he ceuld speak to me from that other
shore he would say, what all his actions
and all his words said of others not less
guilty than bis assassin "My murderer
was mad and mistaken as well as malig.
nant. He thought he was doing great
and glorious deed on behalf of great
and glorious cause. My death was nee
essary to the perfection of my mission
and was only one sacrifice among hund,
reds of thousands of others made for the
same end" All that other Shore
The commander in chief is with his army
nov. More are they that are with him in
victory and peace than they who still
tread the earth The largest body of
the soldiers of the republic pitch their
white tents and unfold their golden ban
ners and sing their songs .of triumph
around him. Not his the hosts of worn
and wearied bodies, not with him the
riddled colors and war stained uniforms,
npon his ears breaks never more the dis
sonande OF booming cannon, and clashing
saber, and dying groan but youth and
life troop around him with love purer
than ours, and a joy which more than bal
ances our grief.
