Not only will | throughout this discus
sion openly and boldly take the ground
that slavery, as il exists in America,
ought to bo perpetuated, but that slavery
is an established and inevitable condi-
ton to human society. Twill maintain the
ground that God always intended the re-
lation of master and slave to exist that
Christ and the early teachers of christi
anity, found slavery differing in no ma
terial respect from American slavery,
Incorporated into erery Departmental $50
ciety: that in the adoption of rules for
the government of society, and Of the
church, they provided for the nights of
owners and the wants Of slaves; that
slavery having existed ever since the
first organization Of society, it will exist
to the end of time. -Bro,cnlotc- Ryne

that the national debt would ever be paid,
and he thought il onght not to be paid.
To support this, he stated that the North
had repudiated the relation between
master and slave, and attempted also TO
repudiate the debts justly due to soldiers
and sailors. He concluded by asserting

August By December, an aggregate OF
about l5O more miles. including work a.
both ends. will be finished, leaving only
1000 miles of staging TO be performed
next January. With these figures an
approximate estimate may be made OF
the actual time the mails will take IN
reaching San Francisco within the next
twelve months.
The eleven hundred aud fifty miles OF
staging can be made easily, alta speed OF
Eve miles per hour, in nine days and
fourteen hours, The eight hundred and
fifty miles Of rail, at twenty miles per
hour, will consume forty.two and half
hours, which will give for the August
time between Omaha and Sacramento
eleven days and eight and a half hours.
At the same rate of speed, with the one
thousand miles of rail which will be com
ple,ed in December, the mails will 90
through to Sacramento in ten days and
fourteen hours, or say ten days and
twenty hours, to San Francisco next
January. The time will not be mater.
ally greater from Kansas City, so that by
next January, ST. Louis mails will reach
San Francisco in eleven days and halt,
and thenceforward the New York and
English mails will take no other route
for San Francisco, Japan and China
Passengers in haste to reach the Pacihc
coast will abandon the twenty-five to
twepty-four day steamer route and 60
overland, making the time to San Fran
cisco from New York in thirteen and
half days. During the year 1868,
surprising four hundred miles more
Of rail to be laid, which is not
unreasonable, the time will be soredueed
that ST. Louis mails will reach San
Francisco in about six days and half
by the first of January, 1869, and pas
seueers from New York anxious to
catch the China steamers, can 20
through in less than nine days, or less
han half the time now consumed by
steamer via Aspinwall and Panama.
There seems to be very little reason to
doubt that during the year 1879 the rail
way connection between New York and
San Francisco will be completed, and
that which, comparatively, a short time
since was pronounced chimerical and an
impossibility, will be an accomplished
fact. Scarcely three years ago many
friends of the enterprise who believed in
its practicability and in its final accom-
plisbment, were unwilling to express
their opinion that it would be completed
within the coming ten years. But that
which has already been done furnishes
ground for the confident calculation that
the road will be finished in 1870, and
that then ST. Louis passenger can go
from here to San Francisco in less than
five days.
