SENATOR LANAI.

The recent speech delivered in the
Senate by Hon. l.. q. G. Lamar, on the
proposed new Pacific Railway, was n
of the ablest yet made in Congress up
on this important question. II en-
braced a very thorough discussion of
the various schemes before Congress
to complete a Pacific railroad on the
Southern line. He favored the Texas
and Pacific measures as the best pro-
sented to complete the symmetry of
the transcontisental system, contem-
plated BY the statesmen Of all parties
u quarter of a century ago, and pro-
vided by the government in various
enactments. lie also advocated the
Texas and Pacific bill as due in equity
TO the South, and as securing TO the
commerce of the continent the advan-
tages of competition with the existing
lines. All these ends, the Senator
claims, are assured by the passage of a
measure which is demonstrated to In
volve no risk of loss to the government
in it's limited loan of credit. Abundant
quotations from Hunter, Davis and
other authorities OF the Strict Consti-
tuition school of politicians, supplement
an able argument to show the power
of Congress to extend the asked for
and under the authority OF the Consti
tuition. The Washington correspond
cnts say that various New England
Senators listened with marked inter.
est to the Mississippi Senator. This
fact made all the moro timely his
earnest appeal to that section. In sub
stance he said Anew England is now
the representative and, in an important
sense, the custodian Of that vital prin-
ciplc of the Constitution-State equal
ity. Out OF all proportion to your
numerical strength, you have not only
a negative, but an affirmative power
in this body by virtue of that principle.
The South is not jealous of your pow
err; on the contrary, she regards your
title to it by virtue Of the principle OF
State equality, as sacred. Once sue
cesstuly dispute that title, the Consti-
tuition itself falls a hopeless ruin. Your
power enhances your responsibility
You cannot, while enjoying it, afford
to deny equity and generosity to
others. The events OF twenty years
show that as against the organized
popular will Of the country, the essence.
not less than the symbols of constitu.
tional privilege, is annihllated. II is
the Constitution of the whole country
that makes New England's privilege
sacred, despite her comparative numer-
ical weakness. Therefore let her Sen.
ators make the whole country theil
constituency, and by justice and gen
erosity to all sections make all sections
the allies OF New England in defending
her high constitutional privilege"
With his fervent pleas for the South
Mt. Lamar blended appeals for a pol
icy in administering the government
which will promote the integrity 0
the Union and the diffusion of prosper
ity among all sections and localities
1t is no unmeaning compliment to say
that this speech will rank among thu
best intellectual trophies of n of thu
foremost Americans of his time Bal

rHE ALARMED ~DEuAGoGUES

An excitement has been created in
the political world by these resolutions
far beyond what could have been ex-
pected by friend or foe, 1t Is seldom
the American people are agitated or
disturbed by resolutions in or out of
Congress. They know what they
mean and how little good or evil at
tends them they have grown familiar
with their harmless character and sleep
undisturbed by the stage thunder Of
supernumerary politicians. But in the
present instance we think that Mr..
Eugene Hale's brazen trumpet has
sounded o false alarm. While the press
is making great noise and uproar in an.
swer to the frantic appeal OF Hale's
card, We yet perceive no signs of revo.
luton in the land 10 fury of litigious
war yet blows her horn on our noun
tains and again TO fraternal
strife. We sec 10 gloom, such as Hale
shoulders ut, east ove every household.
We are dwelling thus far as becomes
brethren in peace and unity. Aud why
not ? Shall tbs investigation Off few
political knaves in Florida and Louisi-
ana, and their aiders and abettcrs found
in both parties, alright onr souls and
make us again prepare for the ensan'
guined plainP The Presidents title IL
neither threatened nor endangered
Even il it were meant to impeach the
President (Which is not), would il not
be an abuse of language to call tho pro
ceedings revolutionary We all re.
member the impeachment of Mr.. John
son, and how little ground there was
for it but who called the action of the
Republicans then revolutionary W.
are convinced that the Democrats will
gather cypsess rather than laurel from
their Investigations, unless the folly OIL
the Republican press be found Their
most efficient ally.
1t certainly strikes us tho Democratic
party numbers more people than the
Republican party, and certainly are al
deeply interested in its prosperity and
progress. Because they protest agains
being openly robbed oftheir rights ant
shamefully defrauded Of their Presi
dent, they are to be tainted with con
spring TO disturb the peace o fthc coun
try. Democrats are not to Investigate
