Under all systems of, government con
'forming to modentideas: no matter in what
manner the supreme - authority mar , bedis.;
tributed and exercised, 'the Majority and
Minority sustain definite relations to each
other, and Mutually ;modify the -course oft
political action. .Bven. in what are called-'•
absolute Monarchies, ibis' inle holds good. i

though conscious of the co-operation of the

he cannot tell ho* soan,through the fickle

In strictly representative goverimente
the co-relations ofthe Majority end Minority',
are more clearly recognized and , their action, •
upon each other provided for. Tim rights
and responsibilities of governing belong:l6'
the Mkerity, while the 'ilutY of criticising
and holding in check pertains to the Minori- :
to. .It is• sometimes difficult to tell whether
the Majority or; the Minority renders the
most - valuable service to a nation. .
It isin ponsequence of , this action: and re-;
action of Majorities and Minorities upon.
each other that the true balance of govern
ment is maintained. Of course, such ac
tion iand, rety:tion prevent the, Mejority
front fully carrfing Out Any. Peliey to which
It may stand pledged' and actually have at
heart, This principle_was, admirably inns
trated 'ffiirink the' longperiod, before the:,
Rebellion, in which the Del:Comets had al
most undisputed sway in every department
of the govertnnent..
~Dnring that protracted
term they failed fidly to carry out every
yolicy by espousing which they won the
popular confidence. This was •not owing,
as was sometimes testily charged, to inhe
rent duplicity, but to the natural and health
ful influence of a numerous and intelligent
Minority. In strikingA balance, it would
be fair,to,decide that the Minority rendered
quit; as important services to the republic as
the Majority.
Whoever will turnhack to, the official re
cords of the debates in , Congress during
that period, and particularly Or latter part
of it, will be strangely impressed` by the
Arrogance of the Majority; by the assump
tion of its members that they alone had a
right to be heard; and the brutal threats of
personal violence with which they constant
ly interlarded their objurgationa of the Mi
nority. In the'whole hiatory of representa
tive bodies there is nothing approaching
this exhibition of fiendish' malignity except
the course of the Jacobins in the French
Constituent Assembly: Even in the excite
ment of those stormy. debates, the scenes
enacted were sufficiently revolting; but the
considerate man---respectful - of his own
rights and of the rights of ethers—who shall
now Peruse those American controversies
cannot help feeling the motions of , intolera
ble loathing and disgust.
It happens, unfortunately for the country
that the • party which was then in, the,
Majority have carried the same habit of
coarse abuse with them into the Minority,
where they have been during the last eight
y : ears.
Perhaps at no period in .this country and
rarely in any other, have the Minority in
the national council been so powerless as
since the Rebellion broke out._ This has
resulted frommeciALeauses. Prior to 1860
the Democrats had held possession of the
Government for so long a `time that they
imagined it to belong to themin fee simple,
and that the most unconstitutional thing
their opponenta - could' do - was to carry> a
presidential. election. They felt that they
alone were "the people;" that to them ex
"elusively pertained the right Ito - construe
and interpret the constittition, to detrisePoli:
cies, and to consolidate them into, laws; that
the Republicans were good enough to bear
the burdens of tie government, but not to
participate. hi its honors: much less to im
part to , it direction and momentum.
That was a comfortable_ delusion for the
Democrats to cherish. It gave them a
wonderful conceit of themselves, and in
spired them with a corresponding contempt
for the Republicans. Being a delusion,
however, it was destined to be dissipated;
and coming down from such self-exaltation
is not pleasant. Theresult was that when the
Republicans elected Mr. Lmcour to the
Presidency, half the: Democrats broke out
into %yeti, flagrant Rebellion. They
I felt and acted precisely as ; royal Princes do
when their assumed prerogatives are denied
,and obedience refused. While the other
half remained behind. they constantly gave
tokens that their feelings and principles
were. with the - insurgents and that they
would join them but forthe fact that they
were living in -States whose local govern
ments were strongly against them. , These
pare the leading filets which have made , the
Minority in the United Statei less poirerfal,
during the last two presidential terms, than
ever any Minority was before at Wash
ington.
- Some 'yearsUgo the Democ r at s introduced
a new rule; beating upon Minorities in their
Natiomd,Conventions. This rule provides,
that two-thirds of thh, m em b ers of the body
mot Vote - for any =Alai°. in order to
make his nomination regular and. valid.
This gives the Minority a negative control.;
that ie, the power to declare :who shall - not
be nomlaated. Nothing can be plainerthan
that this rule is in *laden of' the elementa

THE NEW CONSOLS AND TAXATION.
It is understood that a bill, the result of
careful preparation by leading financial
members of the two 'louses, may be intro
duced in Congress this week, which au
thorizes the issue of two thousand millions
of dollars in "bonds of the consolidated
debt of the United States," to bear five per
pent. interest, payable principte and interest

- The Kansas PACAIe Railway.
To the Editors of the Pittsi , Nryk Gazette:—
Gratrimitsr—Thismost important of any
national work ever undertaken by the Gov
ernment and people of the United States
gains rapidly in popular favor as it becomes
better understood. Very quietly, but with
.
peat 'energy, it has been pushed forward
.
until upwards of four hundred miles have
been finished, which is as far as the acts of
'Congress of 1866 extended the authority
and aid of the Government. This portion 1
of the road extends from the Missouri river
up the Valley of the Kansas and 'Smoky'
Rill, (ane river), almost directly from.east
to west, through the midst of the State of
- Kansas, one of the most • fertile, beautiful
• . .
„and healthy regions in our country. •
. From the point to which it has cat-,
ried, (near the Western herder of Katisas,)
it is the intention of the Company to con
tinue it in a southwest direction, through
New Mexico to the Rio Grande; thence
'westwardly, on or near the 85th parallel,
through the centre of •A.rlzon% to , the Great
Colorado, which is the' eastern' ' , border; of
California in that latitude. ' Froth the Colo=
rado to Sari Francisco the Brie. • runs. in a.'

of Southern California the marvelous pro 4,

has
The length , of this - line—which ;h all
been carefully surveye - 4.-iri 190 miles from
the Missouri, - at Kansa Oity,4o San Fran-
Cisco, which is just abo t the same as the'
Union Pacific Railroad, which begins on the
west bank of the Miss° *, at Omaha, 'and
terminates at Sacramen , 120,miles north-
west. of San Franciscw That 120 miles
must, be made by Steamers on the Bay of
San \Francisco and the Sacramento river.
The bay, which stretches far inland, lies be
tween those cities; • and to unite them by
rail would require aline of between two and
three hundred miles in length,- for it would
have to ran almost entirely round the bay.
In this the Kansas Pacific liner hes a great
advantage over the other, for it runs direct
li to Ban Prahcisco—which lies on the south
ern shore of the bay near, its entrance froth
the ocean—without any deviation from its ,
proper course. The Omaha and Sacramen
to line is being prosecuted by two separate
and independent companies, the Union Pa
cific in the east, and the Central Pacific in
the west." These two companies' eipect to
meet in their operations somewhere in the
neighborhood of Salt Lake, and, uniting,
form one line of road frorii the Missouri to
Sacramento. _
There are many reasons why the Kansas
Pacific Raitway ought to be pushed forward
steadily and vigorously, some of whichn ay
very properly be set forth in brief terms in
this connection. This ought to be done—
Because so large a section of it is already
completed and is in very successful opera
tion, paying well, and causing the fine re
gion through which it passes to fill up rapid
ly with an intelligent and thriving popula
tion, who already enjoy in their new ,
homes all the " blessings and benefits of an
advanced civilization.
Because the business it has already done
for the Government, at rates greatly below
those paid for wagon transportation, has
more than reimbursed to the national treas
ury the amount of interest on the bonds
loaned by the Government to the Company;
so that thus far, instead of being an ex
pense and burden, it has been a pecuniary
advantage to the Government of many
thousands of dollars. See \ Report of the
Committee on Military Affairs of the House
of Representatives, of March 4th, 1868,
which, upon a careful estimate, puts this
saving at 1346,382 for 1867.
Because, in the opinion of the highest
military officers of the nation, it Is the only
way in which the murders and depreda
tions of the savages who still roam almost
unchecked over the vast and valuable region
across which it is proposed to carry this
road—extending from Kansas to California
—can be successfully prevented—a method
more effectual, more humane and More
'economical than any other that can be de
vised. Bee letters of Generals Sherman and
Sherridan, addressed to General Gnint, and
by him endorsed and transmitted through
the Secretary of War to Congress.
• Because the • country through which 'the
surveyed line runs is well adapted to rail-,
road purposes • and is, with trifling excep
tions, abundantly supplied with timber for
ties, fuel and other purposes, with water,
and, in New Mexico' especially, it runs
through or near to 'an extensive and inex
haustible field of mineral coal of good quali
ty. See Report of the Survey of 1867, made
by the engineers of the comptuy.
Because the line of the road traverses
throughout its entire length a region of great
and varied reiources, agricultural, pastoral
and mineral, which will ensure to it a way
trade of great and ever increasing magni
tude, putting its success as a road beyond a
peradventure, and rendering it reasonably
certain that it will cost the government
nothing more than a loan of its credit.
Because its construction will add im
mensely to the available area:of our national
domain and to the durable basis of taxable
values, and thus, by diffusion, relatively
lighten our already existing national bur
dens.
Because it will bring within easy reach o
our people thousands and tens of thousands
of mines of precious metals,. which, with
railroad facilities, can be worked profitably,
but not without. Our present inconvertible
paper currency is a standing , attestation of
how greatly these are needed.—See J. Ross
Browne's Reports, and many others. , •
Because there are even uow one hundred
thousand people in New Mexico, (whose
entire trade will be over this road,) await
ing its coming; while Arizona Is rapidly,
filling up, and probably half the population
Of California are found south df the Bay of
San Francisco, through whose midst this
load will In addition to these, the
people of Chihuahua, Sonora' and Durango
will trade with the outside world Mainly,
over this road., ' -
Because the line of this road Is so liapPi
ly located' that it can be reached at its east
ern end with almost equal' facility by, :the
great lines of trade end travel running
westward from Boston and Portland,, and
from Baltimore and Washington, the basin
of the Lakes or the valley of the.hlo, And
then, in its great southwestern deflextion it 1
Is exactly in the right location to receive on
this aide of the mountains and of the Rio
Gnmde other lines from important points
on the Lower Mississippi and the . % Gulf of
Mexico. It was this truly national featture
of this enterprise which drew forth that;re
cent strong and eloquent petition to . Con
gress from sixty presidents and executive
officersbfleading railroads of the country,
from Maine4to Alabama, praying, that the
;work may 'be continued and ' vigorouslT
prosecuted. See maps:
Becauie this toad,. in 'its entire course

Francisco, will cross no formidable 'mom;
Win range. In New -.Mexico the RoOky
Mountains sink into a broad elevatedplateau
a little north of the line, and the great Sierra

Because this road, by means , of ,branches
of moderate length, will put us into connec

the Gulf, of California, San Diego, os:
Angelos, &c., and also, directly on the Main
line, with the steamboat navigation of the
Colorado river, about 800 miles this side of
.San Francisco. ,
Because, as a careful inspection of the

of a better civilization and , a purer faith
than many of the regions it will penetrate
