THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. Long oxperienco has deeply convinced mo that a strict construction of ihe powers granted lo ton'iess is tlie only iruo, an well as Inn only tare, theory of Ihe Consti tution. AYhil.it this principle shall guido my publio conduct, 1 coupler it clear that uuder tho war-making power, Congress may appropriate money for tho construe lion of a military road through tho Terri torirs of the United States, when this is absolutely necessary fir the defense of any of ihe States against foreign invasion. Tho Constituiion has conferred upon Congress power "to declare war,' "to raise and aupport nrinics," -'to proviJo aud maintain a navy," and to call for the malitia "to repel invasions." Thcso hi"h sovereign powers necessarily involve important and responsible pubiio unties, nnu nmung them there is none eo sacred nnd en imperative us tlint ol preserving eur soil Irom the in vosonofa fonoijtn enemy. ThoConstitu lion has, therefore, loft nothing on this poiut to construction, but expressly ro quires that " iho United Siaio shall protect each of them ihn States against invasion." jNow, it n military roaj over our new I em torics bo iiidespensnbly necessary lo enable -us to meet nnd repel the invader, it follows as a necessary coiisequiinco, not only that wo possess tho power, but ii is our impera tive duty to construct such a road. It 'Would bo au absurdity to invest u govern, ment with lio unlimited power In make -and conduct war, and at tho sauia time 'deny to il tho only moans of reaching and defeating tho enemy at the frontier. Willi, out such n road it is quito evident wo can not" proleol" California and our Tacilio possessions " against invusion." Wo can not by 'any other menus transport men and 'munitions of war from tho Atlantic States iusuflicicnt time sccessfully to defend these remoto and distant portion of tho Repub lic. Kxporienco lias proved that tho rout's across tho isthmus ol Central America aro at best but a very uncertain and unreliable modo of communication, lint even if this wero not tho case, they would nt once bo cUsed against us iu llio event of war with a naval power so much stronger than our own as lo enable it to blokndu tho ports at cither end of tho routes. After all, there fore, wo can only rely upon a military road through our own territories; and ever since tho origin of tho government, Con gres has boru in practice of appropriating money from tho public treasury for tho -construction of such roads. . Tuedifliuuliiea and Iho cxnenso of con atrnctinu a military railroad to connect ur Atlantic and lilio States have boon greatly exaggerated. Tho distance on the Aruonn route, near the 3?d parallel of north latitude, between the western bound ary ol Texas en tho Kio Grande, and tho -eastern boundary of California on tho Colo, rado, from thu Lst explorations now with in eur knowledge, dors not exceed four hundred and seventy milts, and tho face of the country is, in tho main favorable. For obvious reasons tho government ought not to undertake the woik itself by means of its own agents. This ought to ho com. tnilted to other agencies, which Congress might assist either by grants of land or money, or by both, upon such terms nnd conditions at they may deem most benefi cial for ihe country. Provision might thus be made Rot only for ihe safe, rapid, nnd economical transportation of troops and munitions of war, but also of ihe public mails. The Commercial interests of the whole country, both East and West, would be greatly promoted by audi a road ; and Above all, it would be a powerful additional bond f union. Aud git hough advantages of this kind, whether postal, commrrcial. or political, cannot confer constitutional power, yet they may furnish auxiliary ar guments in favr of expediting a work which, in myjndgnienl, isclearly embraced wit bio the war-nuking power. I' or these reasons" I com men J to the friendly consideration ofCongaot the tub jeel of iho 1'acilio railroad, without finally commitiiiiL' myself to any particular route. TI1E ITBUC LANDS. Ourijrstein for the ditpostlof the public Inndt, originating from Ihe fathers of the U'puWic, hat Keen improveo at experience pointed the way, and gradually adapted in the growl Ii nnu teuirmoni i our wurrn b'latra and Territories. Il has worked well in ptaclico. Already thirteen Slates and term Tejritoriei hnve been carvil out of these lands, and still mora than a thou mnd inilliont of acres remain unsold. What a boundless prospect this present to nurcountry ol Inluro properny ami por! Wo linve lirreloToro (hpovl ol M3, 602.404 acres of ihe public land. Whilst tho public lands, ot a source nf revenue, are of great impoitanci, their im portance it fur greater as furnishing homes far a hardy and independent race of honest and iuduotrious citizens, who desiro to subdue and oullivnto iho soil. Thoy ought to be admitiUiercd mainly with iho view of promoting liiis wiso and benevolent policy. In iipprnpriatjng them fur nny other pur pose, wo ought to use even geeater ccono. my than if they had been converted into money and tho proceed were already in iho public Treasury. To squander uway (hit richest and noblest inheritance which any yeople ever enjoyed, i.pon objects of doubtful constitutionality or expediency, would be lo violate one of the most im portant IriiMs ever committed lo any peo ple. Whilst I do not deny lo Congress the power, when aciing bonu jiJe ns n propria, lor, to give nwnr portions of them for the purpose of increasing the value of the re iiiniiider: vet. considering tho great tempt ation to a huso this power, wo cunnotbe too cautious in its exercise. Actual (Cillers under the existing laws are protected against oilier purchasers at the publio sales, in their right of pre-emption, to tho extent of a quurtor section, or 1 GO f acres of land, the remainder may then be disposed olat public or entered at piivulc sale in unlimited quantities. Speculation has of Into years prevailed lo a great extent in tho public lands. Tho cniisf qiienso has been lliut largo portions ofihem have become tho properly ofindi vidnuls and companies, and thus the price is greatly eiihnnccd to those who desire to purchase for actual settlement. In order lo limit tho nren of speculation as much a-i possible, Iho extinction of luo Indian title and the extension ef l lie public survey ought only to keep pace w itli tho tide of emigration. It Congress should hereafter grant nl ternnte sections to States or companies, as lliey have done heretolore, I recommend ihal the intermcdiatn sections ietained by tho government should bo subject le pre cmpi;on by actual settlers. It ought ever to bo our cardinal policy lo reserve tho public lands as much as may ho for actual settlers, and this at moderate prices. We ahull thus not only promote the prosperity ol iho new states mid lerri lories, and the power of the Union, but shall secure homes for our prosperity for many generations, INDIANS. The extension of our limits hat brought within our jurisdiction many additional and populous tribes of Indians, a large propor. lion of which are wild, untracinble, and difficult to control. l'redatory and warlike in their disposition and habits, it is impossible altogether to restrain them from committing aggressions on each other, as well as upon our frontier cili.ens and those emigrating lo ourtlisinnt Slates and lorritories. Hence expensive military ox peditioiis aro frequently necessary to over- awe nnd chastise the more lawless and hostile. The present system of making ihcm val uallo presents to inlluencn them to remain at pence, has proved ineffectual. It is be lieved to be the better policy lo colonize them in suitable localities, where ihey can receive tho rudiments ef education nnd be gradually induced lo adopt habits of in liistry. ;o far us the experiment has been tried, il has worked well in practice, and it will dwubtless prove lo bo less expensive Minn llio present system. Ilia whole number of Indians within our territorial limits is believed to be, from the best daia in tho Interior Department, about yjo.tMKJ. Tho tribes of Cherokees, Choctaw. Chicknaws, and Creeks, settled iu the Ter ritory sot apart for them west of Arkansas, are rapidly advancing in education nnd in all Ihe arts ol civilization and self govern ment ; nnd we may indulge the agreeable anticipation that at no very distant day they will be incorporated into the Union as ono of tho sovereign States. ECONOMY ItKCOM MENDED, The late disastrous monetary revulsion may have ono good effect, should it cause both tho Government and tho people to return to the practice of n wiso and judi cious economy, both in public and private expenditures. An overflowing Treasury has led to hab its of prodigality and exlravngnnce in our legislation. It has induced Congress to mako large appropriations to objects for which they never would have provided had it been necessary to raise the amount of revenue required lo moot them by increas ed taxation or by loans. We are now compelled to pause in our career, and In scrutinize our expenditure with the ut most vigilance; and in performing this uuiy, I pledge my co operation to the ex tent of my Constitutional competency. it ought to bo observer!, at Ihe same lime, thai true publio economy does not consist in withholding the means necessary aivviii)jii3ii imionani national oojecus in trusicd to us by tho Constitution, and espe cially such as may be necessary for the common defense. In the present crisis of tho country, it is our duty to confine our appropriations to objects of this character, unless in casos where justice to individuals may demand a different course. In all cases, earn ought lo be taken that the mo ney granted by Congress shall be faith fully and economically applied. JAMES UUCIIANAN. Washington, Dec. 8, 1837.

W.L.ADAMS, OCT The "slavery agitation" which wat lo bo finally settled by lbs " conservative administration of Mr. rif kon-nan," has already been opened in Congrctt, with greater fury t linn ever. The Republicans have had no hand In it, hut lo tho demn cratt themxelvci be nil llio glory. N tooner had Buchanan's Mossago been read than Douglas pitched into it in a speech that was perhaps the best effort of his life. Ho riddled the Kansas part of the Message completely, aud planting himself firmly upon tho " right of iho people to govern themselves," boldly and defiantly pro claimed hit unalterable determination to Hand there if the democratic party, in supporting an outrage, went to the bottom of 1 lie great deep. lie it backed by Gov Walker and several other Senators, bo sides Forney's Press and scores of northern loeofnea papers, Douglas has given notice of a pacification bill, similar to the Miuno sola enabling act, by which Kansas will be required to begin anew, and call a con vention lo mako a now constituiion; the whole of which must bo submitted to the people. The people of Kansas aro now attending lo iheir own domestio concerns in their own way, through their legisla turc. It romaint lo bo seen whether an administration which has upheld a bogus Missouri Legislature will support one elected by the people. The free State men have a majority of more than two to one in the Legislature, and can pass any act over tho In ad of their new Secretary Denver. Tho meeting of tho Legislature will complicate the difficulty between the two wings of the democracy in Washington, if they adhere lo iheir present plans ; but if the people of Kansas are left to attend to their own business, quiet will soon be re stored, and Kansas will bo admitted under ike Topeka, or some other free constilu tion. "The (Iah-uoosb. A dingv, dirty, nb olition, black-republican sheet,' published nt Oregon City, (and ol course, to a consid crablo extent, patronized and supported by democrats.) nfier a long series ot low, scur. nlnns articles about us, nil passing unno ticod and nnenred lor, is at last out in a lying intimation that we at one time were opposed to tho Kansas-Nebraska bill. The intimation is utterly false in every panic lilar. From the inception of that measure until now, it has ever had our unreserved and cordial support. " VVe have already been forced lo prosti tute our columns too much in the descrip tion of such vagabonds as the baptized dog of the Argus, and an outlino of our esti mation of him, would require n descension wecnnr.ot, injustice to our readers or our. self, consent lo make.' Once and for all, iherefore, w-o dismiss thn wretch us unwor thy of notice. Thoso who fancy the lying beast, are welcome to n full faith in all he shall hereafter ulter of us." Portland Times. Wc ask pardon of those moral ''demo crats who ore patronizing and supporting" us for polluting our columns with tho fore going specimen of "sound and reusable democratic literature." Tho only impor tance that will attach itself to it, with nny human being, will grow out of tho fuel that it is from Jo Lane s organ. Tho only thing in it that shows the least sagacity, is tho solemn pledge to notioo us no farther. Il was the best dodgo that could bo inade by ono cringing under fear of being singed by the samo brand which we clapped to "Caiholio Citizen," and which has already covered Czapkay's agenl with mor scars than any of the old 0. T." Spanish cattle carried in 1849. Now lot us look nt the logic of one who "knows exactly how thick a negro's skull is." Lie argues thai, becaass we said he "charged tho Pierce administration with resorting to bribery in patsing the Kaisas Nebraska bill," e made a " lying intima tion" that he was " opposrd" to the bill. The " intimation" cannot be deduced from our statement. Suppose, for instance, that we had said he charged Pierce with being a blackleg an J debauchee, wob!I any one suppose that it was equivalent to charging biin with bciog uafritndly to Pieret f Would not the "intimation" mon nalu- rally drawn from it be that Pierce not only "had his unreserved and cordial support,'' but that ho actually loved him 1 Dut for fear of being thought too partic- alar about the rules of logic, we shall pro ceed wilh him as though he had fairly met our statement that he had chargod the Pierce Administration wiih resorting t bribery in passing the bill aforesaid. The Time ha already affirmed that he wrote Ihe "Hamlet" letters, and of course it is loo late for him lo deny that now. In Czapkay,s organ of July 4th, 1834, wo find one of these milk-and. molasses epis tle dated Washington, April 30, 1354, which it opened wi'b a putT of Pentoo far hit"lrong and powerful effort in opposi tion to the bill." In giving an outline of Benton' tpeech, he toy: " He maintaiut that the Missouri Com promise is a compact between the North and South ; that it wa colored into for iho porposo of quieting lodional agitation, which then threatened tba peace and (la bility of ihe Union, and that therefore iu repeal nnw re-opens pvery question (has adjust by the a-t of 1830. Hie tide iliriutt directed at the Cabinet organ, ihe Union, are the beat blow ho sirikoa. Tin Colonel' contempt for that tlieet it very happily expressed, anil is rather univert ally rspondd lo throuxhout tho demo cratio rank of the country, Mr, Denton i scarcely let happy in thn oppression ol his opinion ol the interference of tho t'.x ecutive wilh the legislation of Congress. This crowing evil ha denounce with weight of justice and of power worthy of any day in hi ihirly year in llio benaie." lie re wt have Col. Ronton pulled fur hit able argument against iho Nebraska bill lauded for hit " aide thrust at iht Union," and extolled for denouncing tho Adminis Iraiion for "interfering with the legislation of Congress," His "opposition to lh bill is a strong and powerful cflbri" (a very good blow at tho Adiiiinis'.ruiion), but hit "tide thrust t The Union are the brti blows he strikes," while hi denunciation of iho Executive for "interfering" with the legislation of Congress it " tea reel y let happy" and comet with a " weight of justice and power." Could a full nnd un qualified endorsement of Iten'on't position bo more plainly mndo t "A strong and powerful effort," ''side, thrusts at The Un ion, best blows he strikes," denouncing the Executive for "interfering" "scarcely less happy,'" and all laid on with not only a " power" but a "justice." But if nny more light be needed on this subject of bribery, we hnve it in the fob lowing extract of the ttme letter: " It ia rumored hnre that when the Tret- idcnl shall have become satistied of the treachery of his freo soil friends, and that not oven his immense paironngo can buy the right of way through Congress for ibis measure, the 'hards' will lake it up nnd pass it. A Cabinet Hint beasts thai every present uovernor or iheir nppoiutmeni shall return lo Washington as members of the Senate, ought certainly to have re, sources for the success of an Administra tion measure oilier than that of playing the mendicant nt tho feet of those they have estranged from their support by treachery and ingratitude, but it seoms Ihe present ono has not, nor can it have so long as it continues to violate llio customs and the principles of that party to which its illustrious head owes his elevation." Hero wo not only hnvo the Adminis- tration "buying the right of way through Congress" for this "Administration men uie," by 'bribing certain men wiih the promise of office, but a clear intimation that the Administration was even tinker ing wilh the Territorial Legislature in gelling thoir gubernatorial appointees re. turned to the Scnat", as well as a persist ent continuance in " vinlatiny the customs and principles of the democratic party," besides "playing the mendicant at the feet of those they had estranged by treachery and ingratitude," and then lo cap the cli max we are coolly told that the "Admin istration had no other resources" than such lo carry their measures ! I Well, wo set out lo provn that he charged the Administration with bribery to make good our former charge, but we have shown in addition to thai, dial it was charged w iih interfering with Ike Legisla tures of Ihe Territories (hy bribery no doubt), violating the customs and principles of Ihe democratic party treachery in- gratitude pitying the mendicant, and devoid of all other resources to carry its measures. Will some more of theso lying locofoeo papers call iu question some of our state ments? frCT" The last Standard publishes a letter from Jo Lane, endorsing Buchanan nnd enouncing Douglas. : I'oor Ilibben and Czopkny'a agent, taking their cua from Forney'a Press nnd tho Ohio Statesman, took the Douglas horn of (he dilemma be fora they knew that Buchanan would sup port the Lecompton oulroge. The Times said tho Oregon Democracy stooil opn ihe Douglas squatter sovereign platform, but since the Message has come the poor fellow hasn't a word to say. We want th6e young sprouts to tell us w hether they intend to cut looso from Je Lane and Bu chanan, by going for Douglas' plan of submitting the Constitution to the people of Kansas, or are they going to correct their position already taken by forsaking iho Oregon Democracy nnd endorsing Jo Lane's nnd Buchanan's plan of forcing the constitution down lite throats of the people of Kansas. : ' KT The steamers Pacific and Panama both reached Portland last Monday eve ning, about the same time.
