I am thoroughly convinced that no line
f rail-road communication between the Atantic
and tho Pacific oceans will be estabivhed
in our time other than the routo I
have indicated. It is the shortest route, the
freest of natural obstructions, tho most convenient
to carry out our national policy, and
to aid in executing our treaty stipulations
under the treaty of Guadalupe llidalgo, and
will distribute its commercial benefits most
equally among tha States of the Union. It
establishes a convenient and rapid communication
between each of the original States
-and the extretnest limiis of onr national domain,
and brings tha wealth of Asia and the
Pacific islands, from Jesso to Australia, to
our very doors. This commerce will be
distributed through the northern portion of
Alabama, Eastern Tennessee, North Carolina
nnd Virginia, by the Alabama and

from thin lino to Selinn. The Mobile and
Ohio rnil road intercepts it, by crossing the
line near the eastern border of Mississippi,
nnd which connects tbe Gulf of Mexico with
tho Northern lakes. Tho New Orleans nnd
northern railroad, which connects the cities
of New Orient"? n?d Crncinnat i, will cross
tho line at Jackson, and pour tlic treasures
of our eastern worid upon oar western nnd
extrctno southern States; while tho
sippi river, as if in gratitude to its tributary
waters will give to the tide of commerce a
reflux llow, and in exchange for the substantial
products of its valley, returns all the
conveninnces, delicacies and elegant luxuries
which the finest civilization could demand
or desire.
I anow, sir, that 1 shall be suspected of
giving preference to this route because of
sectional feeling. If so. I am unconscious of
it, and the facts which I have presented will
acquit me. Tho time his been whon I was
sectional; but tho old trio of New England
[Messrs Macdoxald, Hubbard, nnd Ixgersox.J
have tavght me to tear the word trom
my political vocabulary, and insert in its
place another which is more elevated and
patriotic, the word constitutional.
The people of my State were told, on a
memorable occasion, by very high i uthority
there, that if ono of them should be asked
if ho was an American, the answer should
bo "No, sir ; I am a South Carolinian." This
statement has had its day nnd its votaries,
of whom no one was more earnestly zealous
than myself. But, sir, a recent act of this
r'nnrrroaa vvk'iok transit*.tkn
plea of non-intervention, popular sovrcignty
and the rights of the States, has verified the
dictum of Mr. JctFeraon, that "error of opinion
may be tolerated when reason is left
f ee to combat it," and will hcuct forth cause
my heart to swell with loyalty and pride to
bo culled an American. No, sir, my devotion
to uiy own Stale, to which my ullc iance
i? first due, desires not to be propped
by the cultivation of sectional sentiment*:
and if it can be shown, to the satisfaction of
through the territories, and one which can
be built upon at less cost to the government,
can be trneed from California tu,the western
extremity of Lake Superior, or to the city of
St. Paul, I pledge myself to give it my countenance
and support.
Towards the perfection of this great enterprise
I would give liberally of lands which
lie in the Territoiies; and to avoid the incon
venience of a large land monopoly, I would
require a certain number of sections to be
sold, at such convenient intervals of time,
as would at once conform to the interests
of the road, and avoid emb irrassmentsto the
Government. I wonld stipulate a reasonable
time in which the work should bo finished,
and extend the line in which the contractors
should enjoy the emoluments of the
road, to a period which would indemnify
them handsomely, and beyond casualty; and
then 1 would cause the road and its furniture
to be sold to the highest bidder, and
put the money into the Federal Tacasury.
Judge Hoar, a son of a lawyer of that
name who was delegated to this city bv
Massachusetts, some years ago, for the avowed
object of testing our State laws in the
Supreme Court, in an address to the Grand
Jury of Boston, last Monday, acknowledged
the obligation to carry out the fugitive slave
law, And at the same time condemned the
Mayor of Boston for having transferred power,
to the Militia which should have boen
faithfully enforced by the civil authorities
in the Burns case. The Judge, we believe,
is himself a free soiler, but nevertheless
stems disposed to maintain inviolate the law
of the lend. What a contrast between his
conduct and that of Senator Humner, who

The marked attention of the audience
was convincing evidence of the opinion
held. VVe congratulate l)r. Mobley on the |
happy result of his effort and as one who
was greatly interested, would be mucb pleased
to see it in print.
After the oration, the members of the

where they were bountifully provided for in
physical comforts, by its worthy host, J. A.

We arc pleas-djto say that Catawba Lodge

Mr. Editor :
The glorious Fourth haacomo
and gone, with all its henrt-stirring reminiscences.
We have observed it according to
the prediction of the elder Adams with rejoicing
bonfires and illuininntions. Old men
and matrons, young men and maidens have
united in celebrating our national birthday ;
and it is to be hoped that amid the festivities
of the occasion genuine emotions of patriotism
were awakeued and a fervent thanksgiving
went up to Him who has dealt kindlv
with tia nhova others.
The occasion was commemorated, ns usesi
by a fine display of our citizen soldiery.
Fourteen regiments turned out, and after parading
through Broadway were reviewed in
the Park and dismissed in time to avoid the
scorching heat of the middle of the day.
The universal holiday was enjoyed in differ*
eoi ways according to the inclinations of
each. Some courted the quictuf tioiua nud
made it a day of rest; othrni patriotically
burned gnnpowdcr till they were tinrd;
while a third party preferred joining tome
of the countless excursions got np for the
occasion. In the eroding fireworks provided
at the public expense, Hem sett off in the
various square to the great delight of crowds
wfio assembled to see the sight.
Guns are dangerous things and so. moreover,
are pieU la and crackers in the hands
of anfledged youths. Accordingly, we have
the nsssl catalogue of accidents?kjotilated
arms, fingers blown off, 4te. Tkirc wers
several alarms of fire during"the d?y ; but
none of the? tamed out serious.
Philadelphia has not been so fortunate.

SOLITUDE.
There in something sweet, grand and kuI?lime
in Solitude. To b? and live alone is
congcnir.l to the fvelingsof the luiiiinn heart.
Soon we muxt nil al?ne dcjatrt thU life.?
Wheth* r we live in a populous City or a
noisy country; wo desire?we lung for Sol.
itode. For it in thin that pools our temper ;
turns away our anger; ivdms our feelings:
quiets our coitcietieeu; and gives us rent. It
offers strong indu'euvnU for know lodge
and. improvement. WIdle nil alone;?not
a leaf that Mire: not a {pile that wafts hy :
not a voice that Im heard, but bring* back
the past to recollection; strikes calmly, but
forcibly, the tender chord* of the hej.rt, and
leaven a long?a hinting imprerrinn. Without
Solitude reflection in Weakened,contemplation
in obneurid, and knowledge is diuiininhed.
It penetrates farthest ir.to the
mysteries of Nature; mid through nature,
up to nature's God ft wings the imagination
to its loftiest flight, whitdi visits worlds
