We repeat, we cannot believe Congress will have the hardihood to curse the country again with this iniquitous scheme; It was no argument in its favor for Mr. Van Buren to state that it had been adopted by twenty, three out of the twenty-seven foreign and de. spotic governments he had consulted upon the subject.1 , Hon.

We are indebted to the author, George Wilkes, Esq., for a copy of his work enti tied, " Project of a Rail Road from the At lantic to the Pacific Ocean, for the purpose of obtaining a short route to Oregon and the Indies." We have only had leisure, hastily to glance over ths work In his preface the author says: "The project of a National Rail Road across the continent, though gen erally denounced as visionary and impractica. ble, "will, upon examination of the following pages, e found more feasible than many other plans now in the contemplation of the Government." We place ourself in the same category with those who look upon the scheme as being windy. The Mormons have determined to leave the State of Illinois, and go either to Oregon or California. They leave, it is said, with feelings of ill will towards, the State of . Illi nois and the Government of the.U. States. The Washington Union expresses a belief that our Government should look to this mat. ter in season ; and goes on to say with an gry and fanatical feelings such as the Mor mons would carry with them, our own cili. zens would fini them troublesome custom. ers, let the tide of emigration be directed to Oregon or to California.
