OEM. PIERCE AMD THE CATHOLICS
' We publish this morning extraats token from
the speeches made byJudge Woodbcey and
Gen. Pieece in. the Now Hampshire Convention,
in favor of removing the odious property and
religious lest for eligibility to office. The sen
timents expressed by these tvro distinguished
men are the same as the democracy entertained
then andnow. But their eloquent arguments,
added to the clear honesty of the reform they
straggled far, had no influence npon the proscrip
tive feelings of the whigs and abolitionists, and
the measure was by a Bmall majority,
. Mr. Woodbury, chairman ,of the Judioiary i
Committee, reported the following: ■
1. Jiaolved, That no belief in the doctrines of
any particular religions sect shall be required os
a test for bolding office, or be entitled to any
preference whatever, under the constitution -
And this amendment shall be effected by striking
: from itj in part 2, section 14, the words, “shall
be of the ProtCßtant religion;” and from section
29, the words, “ who is not of the Protestant re
ligion;” and &om section 42, the words, “nnd
unless ho shall bo of the Protestant religion; 7 ’
and. in the bill of rights, article C, the word
*• Protestant.”
2; .2lwott«if, ,That no particular qualification
by property shall bo required for holding any of
fice under the constitution. And this amendment
shall be effcctod.by striking from it in part 2d,,
seotion ■ 14tli, tho words •• shall have an 'estate
: within the- district which he may bo chosen to
represent, of the value of one hundred pounds,
_ one half .of which- to be afrce-hold, whereof he
is seixc'iLin his own right;” and from section
29th the words, “and seized of a freehold estate
in . his own .cf the value of a hundred
pounds,lying within this State;" nnd in section
-42d the words, “ and unless he shall at the samo
time have an estate of the value of five hun
dred pounds, one half of which shall consist of
afreebold in bis own right, within this State.”
Mr. Chamberlain, of Keene, moved that tho
resolutions be indefinitely postponed, and adro
coted,-in n spoeolf of some length, the retention
of the religions test and the property qualifica
tions the constitution.
' This same Mr. Chamberlain, who advocated the
retention of the religions test; was the Whig candi
date for Governor in New Hampshire; and his
defeat was deeply regretted by.all tho Whig pa
pers in the country. Bat wo would not bo sur
prised to hear that he would nowtako an active
part in circulating the. base falsehoods that his
party has started against Mr. Fumes on this
subject. , The man or party that will advocate a
religions test under our form of government," is
. malignant,enough to commit any act of baseness.
Judge Woodbury replied to Chamberlain’s nar
row-minded appeal in favor of religious prosorip
tion, and said:
That striking out the Protestant test was right
on every sound principle of toleration and equal
rights, he had endeavored to show fully at the
last session of this convention, when this propo
sition was adopted almost unanimously. Not
. withstanding, then, what has so unexpectedly
fallen from the gentleman from Keene, (Cham
berlain,) in favor of this test, it cannot be thata
majority of the people of New Hampshire, dis
tracted by no other issue or excitement, but act
ing on this question singly, could sanction such
an opinion. They did not sanction it oven sixty
yean ago; but a decided majority then voted
against the Protestant test, and the reason why
it has since disfigured the constitution is that
: the - majority then looked a few votes of- being
two-thirds—that ratio being required to moke
an amendment-'-tbe question then as now being
on striking out this since test. And, he asked,
have we. in reality and: deliberately, traveled
backwards ? Are we now in truth, despito of
free schools here,- a powerful pross,and the pro
-gress of free principles the world over, in great
er darkness and more bigoted? He, for one,,
did not betieTO it. Far more probable was it
thatasort of snap judgment, as lawyers might
call It, hod been obtained in support of these
tests in the hnrry, excitement, and intermingling
of other business in the late eleotion. He did
not believe the majority of the people of this
. State were deliberately hostile to the equal rights
of an upright citizen, because that citizen trust
ed in a different religions creed. He did not
credit that they supposed turn entitled to hold
property and vote for all officers, as he was now,
- and-yet not fit to be an officer, or, if fit, despot
ically to be; forbidden to be one. He did not -be-1
tieve that they did not choose to trust themselves i
with the power to -vote: for a citizen if: they |
deemed him. best qualified, when the time of
eleotion arrived; that they considered it proper
to make atoAife slave of- him and disenfranchise
him-or equal political power, when so much feel
ing existed against: this. even towards block
slaves; that they considered' it right :in a. free
- country to brand snob a man, though eduoated
and talented, ond virtuous, with infomy and dia--
graco, and sendliim and his family through our.
streets'and social oiroles, marked liked Coho, ns.
a sort of degraded outcast or helot; not fit to bo
intrusted-with either legislative or- executive
rights,- though bestowed: fully on tho' most igno
rant and reprobate.
But-some say that without this there is danger
°? an increase of Catholicism. Danger! when.
• reason and Protestantism are left free to combat
wrong. Danger! when Deify himself
favor the right Danger!—then if that jus-:
tines proacnpti°n, why not go further ?- why let'
jt hold property and vote? Then why not, on
. the same, principle, establish an inquisition to
put it down., ; But he had' said so much at the.
last-session on this subject and to whioh he re
jerred pcmous, it nna not necessary on
this occasion to say more against the continuance
of suoh a persecuting and illiberal test.
As Gch-Piebce says in his own speech, an
■ extract from whioh-we publish, these are the
sentiments which, he trill flxlly endorse. What
can the whig tricksters make out of them? 'let
them tty their best; •
learn from the California papers,

Bioiek is lying seriously ill with bilious at-:

We are indebted to our friend, W. M. Ron-
EET3 t Ea(}.,.for a copy of the 'Sccontl-Atmualßo
port of tie Directors of the . Beliefontaino and
Indiana Railroad Company, with the Report
of the Chief Engineer, whioU“ha3 just been pub
lished in Cleveland. ’■ v
Eor thp benefit of nuch of our readers aa may
be unacquainted with the location of this Rail
road, we would etate that it commences at Gall
on, Ohio, near the termination of tho Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad, and runs from thence in
0 westerly direction, through Morion and Belle
fontalne, at which latter place it connects with
the Indianapolis and Bellefontaiue Railroad.
Tho road continues on to St. Louie, through Ter
ro Rente, by means of the Indianapolis andTcr
rc Haute and SL‘ Louis and Torre Haute Rail
:fc-v;.^'V;'V^;'i;-*. i
iJCNE IC.
: The Beliefontaino and Indiana Railroad is now
[Under contractt .and the worki9 progressing fine
ly. The Engineer (W. M.Roberts, Esq.) in his
■ report says.:” Coder favorable circumstances,
we can open the several divisions of the road as
follows, namely: From. Gallon to Marion in July;
.from Beliefontaino to Sidney in September; from
Sidney to Loramic Creek in Ootoher; from Lora
mie Creek to the Stato Line in November; and
from Marion to Beliefontaino in Deoctnber next.”
In speaking of the importance of the geo
graphical position of this road, Mr. Bobebts
sayß:. ‘‘lt must forever remain a part of the
great main roato between Boston, New York and
St. Louis. But your linoia not only apart of
the shortest railroad connexion between Boston,
New York and St. Louis, it forms also tho most
direct south-western cxtension.of the Ohio and
.Pennsylvania Railroad, and is part of tho great
loading thoroughfare between Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and the great west This important
line is new finished from Pittsburgh to Massil
lon, IOS miles; leaving but 77 miles, which is al
ready in an advanced stage,-to complete tho con
nexion. . But 28 miles of staging now remain be
tween Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and but 41
miles are unfinished between Terre Haute and
your western terminus.”
Mr. Bobbbts enters into a very nice calcula
tion bb to, the probable business and earnings of
this road, when completed.Ho has calculated
its daily Tcoeipts at $1,852, or yearly income at
$610,976; and deducting therefrom 40 per cent,
or $248;704 far expenses and repairs, would
show a net incomo of $867,072, from whloh to
pay interest on bonds, dividends on stock, &c.
This income would.be 18J'per cent: profit on
$2,000,000, which latter sum, Mr. Bobeiits
says, is: more than adequate to complete the
road. Ho also believes that the business of the
road will increase with tho increased facilities
offered to it.
E2J*The Buffalo Express is extremely indig
nant at the picayune manner ia which the City
Councils are acting on the matter of paying the
expenses of Kossbth’s reception. They gave
him a special invitation to visit the city, made
a great noise about him, and now refuse to pay
the paltry bill of $498 GG. It was presented to
a committee, anil, after grave deliberation, that
committee report:
That.they have examined said accounts, and,
without admitting any liability of the city there
fore, recommend that the following be allowed:
Of the Union Brass Baud at $24 00
Of Stephenson, Brothers at...... GO 00
Of Gatos & Halbert nt................... 7 00
Of P. Dorsheimer at. ; GO 00
Of Col. G. A. Scroggs at.... 84 00
Total .„......:...$175 00
sail that the clerk bo directed to draw orders on
tho general fund for the same.
They are willing to pay $175 00 for $498 SG.
The Express truly characterizes this us a piece
of very small meanness. The Mayor received
Kossuth; made a speech to him, welcoming him
as the city's.guest, and now gives tho casting
vote refusing to pay the bill. This msy be all
right, when dohe by whigs, bnt if democrats had
been guilty of such conduct; they, would have
acted very mean.

As we promised yesterday, :vffo now give the 1
record in full on thjs subject. We copy it from
tbe official report ofthe proceedings of the Now
Hampshire constitutional convention, ospublish
ed at thetimo of. its session in the *'Daily Pa*
triot” of November 1-1, 1850, and subsequently
in the t'Jfew Hampshire Patriot” of April 24,
1851.
Our readers will observe the strong and con
clusive opposition both of General Pierce ■ and
Judge Woodbury-to the test clause in question j
and they will see that General Pierce denounces
it as “a tiagma” on tho pages - of the constitu
tion.: They, will Olso percoive the pertinacious
support of■ the obnoxious olaußO by Mr. Cham
berlain, the whig loader in the convention and
their candidate for governor. But it is gratify
ing to know that Mr. Chamberlain was voted
down, and the obnoxious clause, upon the argu
mont.of Gcneral.Picrco and Judge Woodbury*
by a large majority, struck cut of the constitu
tion. ■■ —— • -
From lhe ( ‘Daity PulrioL"of November 14, 1-50.
COMMITTEE OP IDE -WHOLE.
On motion of Mr. Parker, of Nashua, the
convention resolved itßelf into tho Committee of
tho Whole on the report of tho Committee on
Property Qualifications and; Religions Tests,
(Mr. Sawyer, of Nashua, in.the chair.)
Hehgmm ttsU. —The first resolution, striking
out nil religious teats, was taken up.
Judge Woodbuuv made tho following ro
marks:
Mr. OiiAinsi/ui; Being opposed to the test,
that some of our principal offices shall not be
filled except by persons of tbe Protestant reli
gion, I ask leave to offer a few reasons for it—
I do it quite ns much to vindicate our fathers in
part for inserting it ns myself for resisting it.
Constitutions, it is conceded, ought to be dura
ble instruments, being the great fundamental
laws passed by the people, -and lasting nttimes,
as ours bos, -withoat -a shadow - of change for
half a century; yet lam willing, when a pro
vision like this becomes ; hostile to the tolerant
spirit of the age and a more enlightened public
opinion, to expnogo it at onoefrom our system
of government. Ido this, too, the more readily
at tho present moment, in order to present anoth
er illustration to the world how easily laws and
•even constitutions, where objectionable, can bo
Changed and rechanged in this free country with
out a resort to violence and to measures treason
able to public liberty and tho Bafety as well as
best interest of our blessod Union. Nor is it
that I oppose religion, but snpport it. I am
neither deistio nor innovating rashly.
On a little examination it will bo foand that
this test crept into the constitution originnlly un
der a temporary impulso, and without having
any influence on the affairs of the State practi
cally ns they thenstood. This is the vindication
of onr fathers.
Tradition says—and I probably had it in ear
ly life from tho venerable parent of the member
from Epping, [Mr; Plainer]—that parent, the
Nestor of tho politicians of that generation and
Bole survivor of the convention of 1791-—that
the provision was inserted in 1784t0 repel taunts
which had been Sung ont by some after the
French alliance, that ..there was to be an alli
ance also with tho French religion, and tho es-
tablishment of it here. The provision fell then
still-born—so few. Catholics existed in the State.
But in 1791 tho impropriety of retaining it on
prinoiple became so manifest, that after one or
two ineffectual efforts, the convention voted to
erase it, and a majority of tho.pcople concurred
with them ; yet not being quite two-thirds, the
provision remained, though against .tho will of a
decided majority.
Tho principle ofthe test was, oven then, so
odious, that, as Catholics increased since in tho
State, From a mere hnndfal as then, another con
vention would, I thiuk, long ere this, have boon
called for expunging this alone, had they become
numerous, or had tho test been much more than
uhrvtvm fulmat, or used -.practically to oppress
them. If any soreness against. Catholic perso
; cutions of the Puritans abroad mingled with this
and rendered prejudices stropger with'some
against erasing tho test, they ought, for more
recent persecution by Laud and the Episcopa
lians in England, to have excluded them also.—
But it was right to exclude neither. ■ Now, un
der more auspicious circumstances, we have, and
I trust will, improve the opportunity to do jus
tioo to all. There is uow no dread of Fronch in
fluence or French religion. The .rights of all
Christians, at least to eqnal freedom and power
in our system of government, have become ft
practical question, and should of coarse bo set
tled on broad, enlightened, and human princi
ples. Fifty years, with their discussions, and
researches, and experiments, havo poured a
flood of light over tho true nature of liberty of
conscience and all its great safeguards. Let us,
then, do what our fathers themselves would,
if now living, under increased light and experi
ence.
How does tho question stand under republican
principles of government'? By them constitu
tions and laws are made more to protect rights
than to confer them. They are made for pro
tecting liberty, equality, conscience, property,
and life, rather than to give most of these, or to
establish any particular set of religions opinions.
This iB not that religion is a minor oonccrn, and
not in some view tho greatest for on immortal
being, bat rather that religion is a concern be
tween God and man, and seldom to bo interfered
with by governments. Such intolerant interfe
roncohaa caused oceans of blood to flow, and
millions to perish at the stake, and was ono of
the great causes which expolled our fathers to ft
wilderness and tho mercy of savage foes. The
republican government afterwards established
hero should, if true to republican principles,
shield allin their religions tenets while conduct
ing peacefully,and protect all in thoirparsaits and
worship, however different, while noting as good
citizens, or it besomed suicidal, and like despot
ism, persecutes differences of opinions, and in
troduces the grossest irregularities.
How does the question stand on the principles
of our bill of rights?
It is forced to admit that eaoh Boot should en
joy, and it does now enjoy here, tho privilege to
holdproperty, If to hold that, why not to pro
tect it by laws which each helps -to make ? It
ooncedes to caoh scot tho right to sue forinjnries
to character, for injuries to children and wife,
and to worship God iu freodom. "Why not, then,
let them aid in legislating to protect all those ?
You hold out the husk, but withdraw tho kernel.
You allow fire arms, but neither gunpowder nor
load to load them and make them effective. In
. the. bill -of rights you pledge also to all sects
equality, but afterwards by this test you make
all but Protestants unequal. Yon promise en
tire freedom of oonsoionoe to all, and treat it in
the 4th article as so high a privilege as not to bo
iu any way unalienable, and yet you leave oth
ers than Protestants defenceless as to it by dis
franchising them from filling offices to seoure it
by legislation.
- It is contrary to the Declaration oflndepend
ence, and of the very first article iu your bill of
rights, declaring all men . equal. You do not
thus give to • all men equal privileges. It is also
in the teeth of the same bill of rights to say ouo
soot shall nothe subordinate to another, and
still disfranchise one, or let ono hold offices for
bidden to others. It is likewise contrary to all
sound experience and reason to eay, os wo do,
•thatCatholios may votc, but not bo voted for;
and that they may bo well competent for ono
duty and not the other. So it is inconsistent to
say, as wo. do, that thoy may bo jurors or jndgos,
yet not legislators—or agree, as wo do in the
constitution of tho Union, that Catholics may be
fit and safe for members of Congress, senators,
cabinet: officers—yea,; Presidents—and yet do
nounoo thorn ns unfit and unsafe at home to rep
resent one hundred and fifty polls in one of oar
small townships. It is in trnth mnoh like tho
grievance which led to our revolution —taxation
without representation. ■ AU othor than Protestant
sects are deprived of representation, ns they are
ineligible to tho legislature. Their opinions and
wisheß are unheard there, from dhomeclves ;■
They are branded. They are driven forth as
with the mark of Cain, for - serritndo.ond igno
miny.
Why not as well explicitly say—rand not do it
covertly—that nonebut Protestants are fit for a
republic! Why not say that Catholio Maryland
is unfit? Catholic IrolnUd? Catholio Hunga
ry? Catholic .France ? Why holt • at h'alf-way
measures? Why not say it is a mere creed in re
ligions faith, and not the mind, heart, morals;
Whioh renders men suit able for self-government ?
or that we establish government for the former
alone, and not to secure liberty, character, prop
erty, and life? :
Indeed, this test debars man from what we al
low to tlio degraded African, as he is eligiblo
hero to hold'office ns-woll as to vote. It seems
often to have been overlooked; likewise, that
these tests are restraints or chains on those who
mahe them, os well as on others: The Protest
ant himself oannot now vote hero for a Catholio
any.moro than a Catholio vote for one,: though
the candidato may be on all hands confessedly
the beet qualified man for State representative,
senator, or governor.
; If .nrwd that the power to make such teats in
constitutions, exists, it is no argument for the
******** '
~ ,* *4 * f '"«
moral .and political right to do it than it 13 be
cause we have the naked power, that we have
also the moral and political Tight to unite Church
and State, create an inquisition, or having strip
ped .other seots of- the privileges, to hold office,
to go further and rob them-of equal rights to
earth, air, fire, and water, and tho same hopes
andmeana for Eappinoss both in time and eter
nity, One profession alone in. business might,
on,.alike ground; be admitted to sit in tite legis
lature— auoh as merchants or lawyers. While
the present tost continues, it is with an ill grace
wo con call other countries bigoted, who, liko
England, have emancipated the Catholics, and
mode contributions for their education. • All the
former fears B 3 to their numbers or political
principles havo now become groundless. In
moat Cotholio conntries Jesuitism is banished,
and the inquisition abolished, and the Pope him
self has becomo quite a reformer and republican,
and Catholics generally are not believed in mor
als or the religious sentiment to bo; behind the
age.or the true standard for public liberty. What
other sect shall throw at them the firststone?—
What one vindicate tho present exclusion and not
admit that if other than Protestant seats had a
majority here, these last should not also be strip
ped of power 1: and that oar nnoeßtors- complaints
of penalties and disfranchisements were ill found
ed? It is doing what we have always censnred
in others. Theerror is that this exclusion con
cedes,, in principle, that religion is to bo rega
latal by o majority rather than-thc sincere con
viction and conscience -of each individual; or
that only certain sects are moral and intelligent
enough to-exoroiso political power,: which ia fal
lacious and false "under: onr systems of free
schools and universal education; or that reason
and Providence cannot uphold correct principles
without our feeble aid and onr proscriptions;
and that Deity or his adorable Son need persecu
tion of some seots tosustnin and render triumph
ant pure religion. So if it be insisted that one
denomination must be better and more trust
worthy than the rest-—which may as. well bo
done even among Protestants —why not trust to
that one alone and proscribe all tho rest, though
Protestant ? Whioh shall he that special favor
ite ? So, whioh one profession shall under a liko
system rule ?
What sect do Sidney, or Book, or Jefferson, or
Madison think fit to be trusted with legislative
power? How is this, too, in onr neighboring
republics? Do they thus ostracise o partV On
tbocontrary, they had the experience of the re
volution to aid them—by the Catholie Carrols
and tafayettea—being moral and brave os the
most Puritanical—and many others of that creed
have fought side by side with us since at Chip
pewa and Bridgewater, and under the walls of
Mexico, and shown that their orced is not de
serving proscription. In short, without going
farther into tho question now, it seems to my
mind not only unjust to other seots, bat not re
putable to us as a peoplo, or to the age in which
we live, to retain this teßt longer.

Without fatiguing theconvontion with more on
this occasion, wo would only add that considera
tions liko these havo led to the abolition of such
tests in many other of our sister States, and in
the constitution of the United States, and, in my
view, requiro us to imitate their wise example.
- Mr. Pieuoe, of Concord, said that he conld
concur heartily in all that the gentleman from
Portsmouth had ottered, except his last remark.
It was quite obvious that, so far from having
taxed tho patiende of the committee, bis speeches
upon both the great subjects embraced in thero
solntions under consideration had been listened
to with unqualified gratification. Not bocansc
he threw tho weight of-his high character and
the power of his arguments into the scale on the
side of-right in a cose where there was hcßitan
cy—where the judgment of members was not de
finitely formed—whoro there was a shade of doubt
ns to tho result; but because it was desirable
that the grounds ou which we proceed in matters
of sach grave import should be stated, as they
had been, with singular force of reasoning and
beauty of illustration. It wa3 also a service well
rendered, not less in vindication of tho past than
tho present. The motives of tbo fathers of tho
present constitution and of tho people in 1792
had been placed in their trne light. So much
was due to them. It was also duo to this con
vention and tho people whom they represent, and
duo to tho reputation of tho State abroad, that
it be well understood that both of tho provisions
—the religious test and the property qualification
—had been a dead letter, .at least as long ns the
chairman [Mr. Sawyer] had participated to any
extent in tho councils of the State. They had
been practically inoperntivo from Mr. P.’s ear
liest recollection. The chairman would remem
ber that mauy years ago, at a time of high party
excitement, it was suggested that a member of
tho Ilonso of Representatives occupied his seat
without tho requisite property qualifications.—
But two objections at oneo occurred to auy ac
tion upon the subject: the first was that investi
gation and action, instead of rejecting one mem
ber, might probably vacate twenty scats; the
second was, that no member could probably be
found to move in a matter so utterly repugnant
to public sentiment. :
The religious test in tho constitution hndnn
dcniably been a stigma upon tbo State, at home
and abroad. It had been repeatedly named •to
him, and onco at least in a foreigu land, ns un
worthy of tho intelligent nnd liberal spirit of our
countrymen. . Althoughhohadnttimcsfcltkeen
ly tho reproach, he lin'd uniformly referred, as
he had no doubt other gentlemen had done, to
other parts of the constitution as illustrating tho
true and free spirit of our fathers, nnd to those
as, at least for many years, a blank. The great
question of religions toleration was practically
settled; and settled in a manner never to be re
versed while we retain our present form of gov
ernment, moro.than thirty years ago. The pro
visions now claiming the attention of the com
mittee could hardly be said to invotoo an open
question. They bad been tbo subjoot of discus
sion in every lyocum, every academy, debating
dub, every town; and tbere was, perhaps, no
subject upon whioh public opinion and public
feeling was so uniform nnd decisive. Tho sub
stanao—if substance they ever had—having long
since passed away, he rejoiced that the proper
ocoasion had at longth arrived to dispense with
the form. '
Steamboatmks’s Convention.— ln our col
umns, the proceedings of-this body yesterday
will be found. It will be perceived that the oon
vention have acted upon the whole of tho bill for
regulating steamboats, introduced by Senator
Davis in the U. S. Senate, introducing -amend
ments and striking ont so as to adapt it to tho
wants of tho west and south-west.
Tho convention have resolved that they will
ask for a law exclusively applicable to the boats
employed in navigating the western and south
western rivers, because these, from tho pcouliar
.ities of construction nceessary to meet the pecu
liarities of tho navigation and trade, require pe
oatiar, construction, equipment and management.
In their proceedings, the members of this con
vention have shown that the steamboatmen of
the West are fully alive to the importance of
having the vaßt interests of our internal commer
cial marine brought by Congress under the con
trol of a uniform system of national law, and of
having all possible safeguards provided for the
greater security of life and property in our
steamboats. And they, havo shown themselves
men of sufficient intelligence to entitle their re
presentative to be heard and acted upon by Con
gross. ■ .. ..■■■■ .■ ■

Expenses of uur Government;
In thlaway does the DouisviUe Democrat tails:
“ Sixty millions of dollars per annum I—only
think of it! Nearly ono hundred and fi fly tons
of gold, or twenty-five -hundred tons of silver!
The annual expenditures of the federal govern
ment in gold would load a train of ono hundred
wagons with a ton and a half each;. or in silver
a train of sixteen hundrod. Two-thirds of the
annual product of California can not more than
keep the treasury supplied. The. statistics of
our cotton crop are sometimos reckoned immense,
but in ordinary seasons ' the expenditures of the
federal government would swallow up tho whole
of if at marketyolue. Sixtymilllons gone, con
sumed, and sunk in unproductive bonds 1 This
sum would educate every youth, n»de and: fe
male, in the Dnited States. It would build three
thousand miles of railroads—about twioe as
many as have been built by the State of Now
York, with all her wealth and enterprise, and
nearly oneathird as many as havo been built in
the U. 8. np to this date. This is paying dearly
■for Government. Suppose a man could earn CO
‘ cents per day over his expenses, it would require
the earnings of 384,000 men to supply the treas
my of the D. S. if they were day laborers, to
support that systom of extravagance and profli
gacy at Washington.”
