of the Rooky Mountains This is bo self
evident as to require no illustration.
But again, in a commercial point of view,
I consider this the great question of the day.
With the eastern front of our Republic
ttretcbing along the Atlantic, and its west
ern front along the Pacific, if all the parts
bould bo united by a safe, easy and rapid
intercommunication we musi necessarily
command a very large proportion of the trade
both of Europe and Asia. Uur recent treaties
wih China and Japan will open these rich
and populous empires to our commerce; and
the history of the world proves, that the na
tion which has gained possession of the trade
with Eastern Asia, has always become weal
thy and powerful. The peculiar geographi
al pofition of California and our Pacific
possessions, invite American capital and en
urpriao into this fruitful field. To reap the
rica harvest, however, it is an indispensable
prerequisite, that we shall first have a rail
road, to convey and circulate its products
throughout every portion cf the Union. Ue
ides. such a railroad through our temperate
latitude, which would not be impeded by the
frots and snows of winter, nor by the tropi
cal heats of summer, would attract to itself
much of the travel and the trade of all nations
passing between Europe and Asia.
On the 21st of August last. Lieut. J. N
MafEr, of tho United States brig Dolphin,
captured the slaver Echo, (formerly the Put
nam, of New Orleans, near Key Verde, on
the coast of Cuba, with more than three
hundred Africans negroes on board. The
prize, under the command of Lieut Brd
ford of the United States navy, arrived at
Charleston on the 27th Auzust. when the
negroes, throe hundred and six in number,
were delivered into the custody of the United
States marshal for the district "of South Caro
lina. They were first placed in Castle Pinck
ney, and afterwards in Fort Sumter, for safe
keeping, and were detained there until the
19th September, when the survivors, two
hundred and seventy-one in number, were
delivered on board the United States steamer
Niagara, to be transported to the ccast of
Africa, pursuant to the provisions of the act
of 3d March, 151U, "in addition to the acts
prohibiting tbe slave trade." Under the 2d
section of this act, the President is "author
ised to make such regulations and arrange
ments as he may doem expedient, for the safe
kscping. purport, and removal beyond t e
limits of the United States, of all such ne
groes, mulaitoes, or persons of color", captu
red by vessels of the United States, as may
I delivered to the marshal of the district to
which they are brought; "and to appoint a
proper person or persons residing upon the
jast of Africa, ss agent or agents for. receiv
ing the negroes, mulattoes, or persons of
oolor, delivered from on board vessels in the
prosecution of the slave trad by commanders
f the United States armed vessels."
A doubt immediately arose as to tbe true

from its terms that the President was author
ised to provide "for the safe-keeping, sup

ibe time of their delivery to the agent on the
oat of Africu; but no express provision was
ifiadt) for their protection and support alter
lLe had re ached the place of their destination.
Bull an agent wa to be appointed to receive
them in Africa, arjd it rouii not have beoo
MppofO'1 that Congress iutended be should
desert thera at the moment they were receiv
ed, and turn thein looe on that inhospitable
it to perish from want cf food, or to be
come again the victim"' of the slave trade.
Had ths been the intention of Congress, the
employment of an agent to receive t'aem, who
U required to reside on the coast, was unnec
essary, and they might have been landed by
our ve-Hsels anywhere in Africa, and left ex
posed to the sufferings and the fate which
would certainly await them.
Mr. Monroe, in his special mcr3aze of 17ih
December, 1S10, at the first session after
the act was passed, announced to Congrcs
what, in his opinion, was ita true construc
tion. He believed it to be his duty under it.
to follow these unfortunates into Africa, and
make provision for them there, until they
should be able to provide for themselves.
In communicating this interpretation of tho
act to Conerec?, he ctated that some doubt
had been entertained as to it intent and
meaning, and be submitted the question to
them, so that thy might, 'should it bo deem
ed advisable, amend the same before any
further proceedings are had under it" Noth
ing wasdone by Congress to explain the act.
and Mr. Monroe proceeded to carry it into
execution according tohisewn interpretation.
This, then, became the pi actical construction.
When the Africans from on board the j&cAo
were delivered to the rtarshal at Charleston,
it became my duty to consider what disposi
tion ousrht to be made of them under the law.
For many reasons, it was expedient to re
move them from tbxt locality as speedily ns
possible. Althouh the conduct of the au
thorities and citixens of Charleston, in giv
ing countenance to the execution of the laws,
was just what might have been expected from
their high character, jet a prolonged contin
uance of three hundred Africans in the im
mediate vicinity cf that cify, could cot have
failed to become a eourcc cf it convenience
and anxiety to Us inhabitants. Where to
send them, was .hi question. Thera was no
portion cf the coast of Africa, to which they
conld be removed with any regard to human
ity, except to Liberia. Under these c renin -tUcct-s,
an agreement was entered into with
the Colonization Society on the 7th cf Sept.
last, a copy cf which is herewith transmitted,
under which the Society engaged, for tie
consideration of forty five thoueaud dollars,
to receive these Africans in Liberia from the
agents of the United States, and furnish them
during the period cf one year thereafter, with
comfortable shelter, clothing, provisions, and
medical attendance, causing the children to
receive schooling; and all, wether children
or adults, to be instructed in the arts of civ
ilised life, suitable to their condition. This
aggregate of forty-five thousand dollars was
based upon an allowance of one hundred and
fifty dollars for each mdiviiual, and as there
has been considerable mortality among them,
aud may be more before tbey reach Africa,
tbe society have agreed, in an equitable spir
it, to make sueh a deduction from the amount,
as under the circumstances may appear just
and reasonable. . This cannot be fixed until
we shall asertain the actual number which
iay become a charge to the society.
It was also agreed that, under no circum
stances, shall this government be called upon
for any additional expense.
Tie agents of tho society manifested a
pp4bij dtire to conform to the wishes of
lir OTcruujeot throughout tho tntMiion.
They assured us that, after a careful calcu
lation, they wonld be required to spend the
sum of one hundred and fatty dollars on tacn
individual, in complying with the agreement,
and they would have nothing left to remu
nerate them for their care, trouble and re
sponsibilijy. At all events, I could make
no better arrangement, and there was uo
uiu "iiimnc """"s r "
government itself, through its own agents.
unuenoo iue itt. oi piurumS v y
negroes in Africa, the cost per head was
verv much creater
There having been no outstanding appro
priation applicable to the purpose, I could
not advance any money on the agreement. I
therefore recommend that an appropriation
may be made of the amount necessary to
carry it into effect.
Other captures of a similar character may,
atd probably will be made by our naval
forces ; and I earnestly recommend that Con
gress my amend the section of the act of
March 3d, 1819, so as to free its construc
tion from tho ambiguity which has so long
existed, arid render the duty of the President
plain in executing its provisions.
I recommend to your favorable regard the
local interests of the District of Columbia.
As the residence of Coogiess and the Execu
tive Department of Government, we cannot
fail to feel a deep concern in its welfare.
Thi is heightened by the high character and
peaceful and orderly conduct cf its resi
dent inhabitant.
I cannot conclude without performing the
agreeable dutv of expressing my gratification
that Congress so kindly responded to tbt
re-coin nieudation of my annual message, by
affording mo sufficient time before the
close of their late session for the exami
nation of all the bills presented to me for
approval. This change in the practice of
Congress has proved to be a wholesome re
form. It exerted a beneficial influence on
the transaction of legislative business, and
elicited tho general approbation of the
country.
It enabled Congress to adjourn with that
digtity cud deliberation so becoming to the
representatives of this great republic, without
having c.owded into general appropriation
bills, provisions foreign to their nature, and
cf doubtful constitutionality and expediency
Let me warjnly and s'rougly recommend tb

guide to their proceedings during the present

HOW STANDS.TILE CASE ?
When the Black Republican party was first
organized, its leaders denied that it had any
connection whatever with abolitionism. The'
declared that their only object was to prevent
the increase of slave States by prohibiting the
extension of slavery to the Territories, and that
they had no desire to interfere with it where it
already existed. This kind of talk was resorted
to, in order to deceive conservative men, who,
while regarding slavery as a great evil, were yet
unwilling to sanction the doctrines of the Aboli
tion party, because, if carried out in the admin
istration of the National Government, they wo'd
inevitably lead to the dissolution of the Union.
However, it is hut just to state that lut'few were
deceived by this exhibition of false colors. - The
fact that the party was controlled by bucL
fanatics as Horace Greely and Senators Seward
and Hale, was enough to convince all sane men
that it was really nothing but Abolitionism under
a new name. Cut if any doubts were entertained
on the subject, they were dispelled by the speech
ueiivertd by Mr. Seward, the acknowledged lead
er of the party, at Rochester a few mostis ago.
We not long since presented to onr readers a num
ber of extracts from thii celebrated manifetto,
which breathe the spirit of genuine true Uueabo
tlonism. He dots not treat slavery as a local but
a national question. Ha contends that .the free
p.r.d stav States are engaged in a fir rce struggle
for the mastery, aud that the United States
must ere long beeome entirely a shareholding cr
r.on J-hiveholeiing natic n. Slavery must be abol
iaLe l hi South Carolina and Georgia, or it -will
be Introduced into Vermont and Massachusetts.
The North, that is, the Black Republieaa p6rty,
p.re laboring fi-.itLfully and fearlessly to crush out
slavery wherever it exists iu the Union, and they
will never rest satisfied until slavery is abolished
in every State of the confederacy. This i3 what
Mr. Seward's doctrine amounts to, and it is tho
doctrine of every Black Republican in the land.
CerUiuly such a doctrine never wa.1 entertained
by the Fathers of the Republic. The Union hav
ing been formed fcr the purpose cf establishing
justice, insuring domestic trarquility, providing
fjr the common defence, promoting the general
welfare, aiid securing to the people the blessings
cf liberty, and the powers not delegated xo tho
general govornmect by the Constitution, being
reserved to the State respectively or to the peo
ple, it was confidently behoved that each St-te
could carry out and enj.y its peculiar 'domestic
institutions, without interfering with the happi
ness or prosperity of the other Sutes of the R
public. But Mr. Seward and hU follower! think
otherwise. Tho existence cf slavery in South
Carolina u a real grievance t the citizens of
Massachusetts, and it is both the interest and the
right cf the people of Massachusetts to extermi
nate slavery in tho Union wherever they can do
so. While slavery continues to exist in South
Carolina, Massachusetts occupies a hostile posi
tion towards her, and the one State is contending
for the mastery over the other. Such is the doc
trine promulgated by Mr. Seward in his Roches
ter speech, and it is certainly the quintessence ef
Abolitionirrn. The pill is merely sujjar-coaU-d.
to induce us to aw!lw it williDgly. regarulefi
of the poisonoim ingredients it contains.
Th contest then ii narrowed down to a strug
gle between the Democratic r.a Abolition par
ties, and the Presidential contest cf 1SG0 will
determine which shall bo successful, We re
joice that the Black Republican party is, at tail
early clay, arrayed under its true cwlorj. To be
forewarned i3 to be forearmed, and it: will be
strange if the Democracy are not thoroughly or
ganized for the next Presidential contest. If they
fail in thi3, if they continue to waste their
strength by quarrelling among themselves, they
are unworthy of the exalted trust cf guardians of
ths Union and Constitution confided to thera.
The Black Eopublican party is sectional, and
its leadejs dare net at this timo dc-clars that it is
not so. The dangerous tendency of Its principles
should at once induce every true friend of the
Union to tako a bold and decided stand beneath
the standard of the Democratic party, now the
only national organization in the country, Tho
protection of our free government is a duty which
the men cf the present generation owe to them
Pelves and their posterity "to themselves be
cause they enjoy it; and to their posterity, who
will claim at their hands this the noblest birth
right the noblest inheritar.ee of mankind."
CLEARFIELD COUNTY-
At a recent meeting of the Democracy ef
Cleat field county held in the Borough of Clear
field, the following resolutions wer adopted :
Resolved, That we recommend Israel Test,
Esq., of Clearfield, and Wm. P. Jeuks, Esq., of
Jefferson Co., as delegates to represent this
Representative district in the next Democratic
State Convention, and Gen. Joseph il'Donald,
of Cambria Co., as Senatorial delegate to said
Convention.
Resolved, That R. J. Wallace and T. J. Mc
Culough be and are hereby appointed represen
tative, and L, J. Crans and G. F. Hoop, Sena
torial conferees to meet in conference with the
other comities composing the district in case it
shall lecon-ie necessary.
General SI'Donald has long been justly regar
ded as the favorite Son of Cambria,and commands
the unlimited confidence of her DemoCr acy.
We have no doubt that the Senatorial Conferees
from this county, will cheerfully ratify the re
comtnsndation of 6ir Clearfield brethren.'.- f-'-

Railroad from Creescn to Ebensbt-g.
Tbis u? the great topio of conversation
among our citizens at tbe present, time. It
will bo "recollected that, more than a year
ago, this project was agitated, and a sufficient
amount of stock subscribed by our citizens to
construct the road. Nothing was wanting
but the consent of the Penna. R. R. Co. to
receive the stock subscribed bs stock of the
Company. The "right of way was also
granted by all owners of real estate between
this place and Cresson, through whose lands
the proposed roads- would pass. Unfortu
nately, at the very time when the negotiations
between our citizens and the Company were
progressing favorably, the memorable finan
cial crisis of 1857 occurred, and nothing
more was heard of the branch railroad Hut
now that times are growing better and money
beginning to circulate freely, tbe project has
again been revived, and our citizens seem
determined that it shall be put through We
learn from reliable authority, that the Indi
ana Branch Road pays ; and we are confi
dent that tho Ebensburg branch, if con
structed, would pay much better. Wo will
have something more to say on this subject
in our paper next week.
GENESEE FARMER.
We desire to call the special attention cf
our farmer friends to this old and well known
agricultural journal. It is a paper that can
not tc too biguly commended eminently
practical and scientific, and abounding with
matter interesting and useful .to every far
mor and fruitgrower. It is the oldest agri
cultural paper in the State, having been pub
lished in Rochester for twenty-eight years
It is said to have a larger circulation than
any similar paper in the world, and certainly
no agricultural journal ha? such a host of
able correspondents, or furnishes so much
matter at so cheap a rate. Each number
contains thirty-two pages, making a volume.
at the end of the year, with index and title
page suitable for binding, of three hundred
and eighty-four piges; and all this for fifty
cents a year! Nothing can be cheaper.
No intelligent farmer now thinks of doing
without an agricultural paper, and the Gen

WASiiiNGToy, Dec. 18 A difficulty oc
curred this morning between Congressmen
English, of Indianna, and Montgomery, of
Pennsylvania, on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Tho two members of Congress happened to
meet for the first time this season, when Mr.
English, extending his hand, said:
"How arc you, Mr. Montgomery?"
Mr. Montgomery withheld his hand, and
utteved an insulting expres&icn, something
like
I don't speak to puppies."
Whereupon Mr. English struck him a severe
blow over the head, breaking his cane to
pieces by the blow, knocking Mr. Montgom
ery into the gutter, but not entirely down,
Montgomery, on rising, hurled a brick at
English, striking him on the boot, but doing
him no injury.
Mr. English states to his friends that he
was entirely unarmed, and was not aware
that Montgomery bad any ill feeling towards
him up to the timo of the rencontre,
Mr. Montgomery, as to strength and sise,
is superior to Mr. English.
An American Ladt Rivaling Empress
Ecgenie. A well-Known leader of fashion
from tbe United States, says a Paris letter
in the Philadelphia Gazette, who was sharing
the splendiu hospitalities of Compeigne, ap
peared one evening at a ball, in a dress pre
cisely identical with that worn by her Imper
ial Majesty in person! Great was the aston
ishment and dismay of the court ladies, for
it is known that the Empress Fugenie, whose
soul appears to be about equally divided be
tweeu her mactuamaker and her confessor,
insits upon the strictest secrecy being obser
ved as to what is destined to adorn her ira
perial limbs, Evidently, however, Jthe se
crets of the confessional bad been this time
betayedand the audacious citizeness" vied
in fashion aud novelty with the Empress.
Nay4 worse still, when her majesty at last
steppcu up to her rival, and good naturedly
asked 'wnicn dress was to be considerd tue or
iginal," the American lady was able to reply
that that was her
"second" appearance in
that character!
The Indiana Legislature baa passed an
act repealing tba lienor law of that State.
THE PACIPIC RAILROAD.
The bill was introduced by Mr. Curtis,
in the House of Itepresjntatives, to secure
the construction cf a central Pacific Rail
road, provide for branches from two points
on the navigable waters cf the Mississippi
river one opposite to Iowa, and the other
opposite to Missouri the two branches to
converge and unite within two hundred miles
of the Missouri river, and thence run to the
navicabie waters cf the Sacramento. The
appropriations of the alternate sections -within
six miles are to be appropriated, and gov
ernment is to appropuate the contracte-s
twelve thousand dollars a mile, to be reimr
bursed to the Government in transportation
of mails and stores. The construction to be
offered by the President to the best bidder,
as proposed by Senator G win's bill. This
plan starts at the outer rim of our present
railroad counections, and terminates on the
navigable waters in the centre of California
population. It is claimed that it would be
equally convenient to elave and free States
to the North and South and for connec
tions with all cur Pacific Territories. Itt
would follow the emigrant route up the plat
te, through Utah, snd be about sixteen or
eighteen hundred miles loEz. The bill was
referred to the select committee on tho sub-
jeot of the Pacific Railroad, which was revi
ed for the purpose ot us consideration.
