‘The Pacific Railroad, LETTER OF HON. PSBSLEY EWING, OF KENTUCKY, TO HUN. BOBRT J. WALKBR, New York, Sept. 14, 1853. How. Roveat J. WauyRR:—~ Deaz Sme- You did me the honor to encourage me to proseat, in the form of w letter, for publication, the views whieh | bad expreared to you, amd my reasons for pre- fecring something like the plan for building the Pacific Raitread proposea by the company incorporated by the Iaat Legislature of New Yerk. Although I cannot expeet @ay peculisr importance to be attached to any opinions I may happen to entertain, buyond the value of a solitary ‘Voto in the next Congress, | cheerfully comply with your G@uggestion, aad the more readily since I am led to believe ‘that the compsuy and its proporals have not as yet se- Gured the fair stare of public attention to which they Bre entitled If 1 wederstand the proposition of the New York company, they offer to build the road simply as other great works of a similar oharacter have been effected. by private emterprise, and to be owned as Deivate "property, asking of the federal government me charter—ao grent of peculiar powers or privi- Jeges—n0 partuership or srscciation—nothicg save a fair Comjonsation fir such uses of the road as may be de manded by the necessities of the government, that com Pengation to be made either by & loan of government eredit er otherwins, aud im such am amount as may be @eomad reasvcable for the Mivantages enjoyed, and. otther before or after the completion of the road. If be- fore the completion of the road, then in such inatal ments, anc upon such recurities, by a lien upon eo much eC ths road as may be completed, or otherwise, as may Assure the government agsimst loss. And I msy add, that one of their most important, and a very reasonable maud, is that before they enter upon so stupendous ao mad g the government may be simply committed mot t #» competitor. the first place, it wit be readily perceived that the plan of the company relieves us from the necessity of renewing the endless controversy about the extent of federal power over interval imaprovemects, which has already reared iteelf aa a formidable enemw, in the way of this grest en- terprise, and which, however it ae be determined, ‘would result in such dissentions and discontents between the different parties and sestions of the couatry as are always dangerous and ought always to be avoided. I Gay we are relieved from this difficulty; for, whatever may prevail about internal improvements, no (ae can question the right of the government to pay for the specdiest and safest transportation of her mails, tueops, and muvitions of war, upom such terms as may bs most secure aad most advantageous te herself. without further reference to the constitutional question ©! internal impro rements, and indeed meeting no necessit: for the argument.ot such » question, I take:for gran’ wil will agree that the least possible connection the go- vernment ba« with the road, either in its construction, Or ite ownership, in its rer ponsibdilities, its abe its ofits or ite loests the beter for the governme: the iter for the road. The exclusive construction, conduct @aid ownership of the road by the government, would lead to ‘nnumerable freuds ‘corruptious—it would be to Bubject the smo mee conte tS thore Lori a wor! creasing its cost 3 arom gr | Completion and economising the outlay Ali experience stande ¢ppored to the wisdom of such an- Gertakings even by the State goveraments, whore finances ‘are managed with much more economy than those of the {federal government. There are those who contemplate with horror the existence of a corporation for such a purpose, aad who sould yet convert the federal govern- Mest into unwieldy corporation for the purpose of Building, owning, and couductiog a railroad. I think it ‘would pot be unfair to anticipate that in such a case it weuld be the built amc worst conducted road in the ‘world. But the core probable hypothesis is that it would never be built at eli or at so remote and at 90 @mermous a cost, that a single generation could not see ita heginnirg sd te completion or sustain the burthen of tae expenditure. ‘This wis. ut be thoughtan unreasonadle, though a brief aad very imperfect presentation of the consequences of a exclucive construction and ownership of the road by the government. A partvership and association between the government aud individuals or corporations, in pro- viding the means, in bailding the road, snd in its subze- quent ownership snd condu:t, may eomplicate. but caa Dardly diminisn the difficulties. In « idition to the evils already anticipated, such a partnership might furaish the pretext and oecssion of continual exastions and un- ‘e demsads upon the part of the private part- it might lead to intermeddling, tnconvenient, Bad oppressive legi:lstion upon the part of the govern- Ineat, serving at some day to excite the frenzy of party epieit or furmshing ® war cry for some ambitious dema: ey another ‘mportant advantage offered by the Company's plan, and similar to the one al- zeady mentioned it jlieves us from the diffi- culty oceasicued by the scruples ontertained by a very seepectable class of atatesmen—and among them the very Bble Sena ‘cr from South Carojina (Mr. Butler)—as to the power of the ‘ederal government to ereate a corporation. ‘This company already standa before the country a cor- porate body by virtue of the unquestionable act of the New Yo Legislature. It asks nocharter fron the feda- zalgoveroment. It seeks no farther privilege from any goverament save the right of way over the public lands, = perhaps permission from two States to crods their erdors, Sub avother difficult, obviated by the plan of the com- pany, and ove badly loss formidable than either of thore already mentioned lies in the discordan! interests to be reconciled in the choice of the route. At every period, whea a Pacific Railroad has been proposed of Congresa, this has reared itself as the and it now threat- @as to postpone, if not wholly to fri astra’ Congress, ¢ of monise niin the strugg'se for rival rout Sogendered thereby, would destroy the enter; ‘Tapia was so sensibly felt by able advocates of t! tae late sessicn of the Senate, that they turned from Congreas to the President, ae if hoping that « solitary ia- eivideal cht determine the matter, even though he de- termined it improperly. But whatever might be the con- fideace reposed by the country in the execative, this would be a respomibillty which he could neither Cape nor wisely assume, and which he could not satisfactorily Gacbarge. The locality of the it executive—on the extreme border of one section of the Union—is uliarly unfortunate for the assumption Ee his part of sueh ap office. For however fairly and honestly he a exer: Give his dixcretion, as it ia but fair to presume he would Go, he could not excape suspicion of sectionsl prejudice up- ©2 ta ome hand, or of & treacherous purchase of a popularity upon theothes. But if the road be wholly constraeted and owned by this or another company, the route wil be 1eadily end properly determined, as it alwa; is im such caver, by the commercial instincts aud careful explorations of men deeply interested, azd on!; interest- ed im chosing the best and cheapest route. It does not, of course, come withia che pu: of this letter to enter Pa & comparison of the relative advantages of the Gifferent routes propased ; and especially since ove of the advant I cleim for the scheme Iam attempting to advcca'e is, that it obviated just such a discussion. Besides, upon this subject, I frankly confess myself very imperfectly ‘nformed. It is rurely premature, since we i official reports upon vague rumors, or hasty ex parte letters from per- fons entausiastic in their own explorations, aod as yet unedie to ge yy? them with those of others. It is eoffciest for present that all the information from all paitios us to believe that there @re several routes more practicsble than it was believed say one would ve found to be before the recent explora- ‘tons were rat on foot. I may, however, confess that I fosi, in common with the people among whom I live—as it ts paterel I shoulc—a decided preterence that the east era terminus sbould be tolerably far south on the Missiz- Bippiciver. I will, however, at the same time express my confidence that. with » company seeking, of neces- hity, the best :oute, the advantages of climate, and the inestimable and undeveloved, though not altogether un- appreciated, wealth of ihe country, must secure the route upom Southern territory, if & pass through the mountains hee ticable with those farther north saoald be exhib! in the reports shortly to be laid be- fore us. But if these advantages are not found with us, we could not fairly expect a favorable decision in any mode of arbitrament. ‘Tha: the road can and will be speedily built by the compazy, we Bave a sufficient guarranty in the fact that a number of eminent financiers, statesien and capital- ints, are willing to embark in the enterprise. A failare i isastrously te them and to them alone, and (vr the terms (hey propose cannot porsidly devoive any ows upon the goverpment I will venture to hope that "ou l youreelf, at no distant day, by the exhibition of facts acd arguinente which I know to be within your reach, place the feasibility of this project beyond a coubt: and when it is demonstrated that the work can be wOblove. by private enterprise the last vestige of an ex conse fr terference of the government will be re- 4a to the eoment t vantages to be enjoyed by the go & government, from such a con- tree I bave briefly shsdowed forth—and for which he ls expected simply to pay, and for which eae bas the urquestionabie constitutional power to pay—withont going into any minute matistics, a bare ailuson to them wiil yengest some ides of their magni rude.

For ail these reasons I thivk it fair to conelude as I do, that the scheme for building the Pacific Railroad pre sented by the York company is the best, if not ‘tae only practicable which any of those now living moay ly hope to see that great wok We seein ( live in an ere parbap: even more woxder fc. 1 +p not refer back to the advesoss io ert and science raneous with and «ubsequent to’ our Awerican Revolution, which st free humea eargy, ia- tellectusl and physical. this continent—the most magnificent theatre fer in@ ever yet given to man, But im our own day, just as California became our own. we have seen the gold discovery, apparently only Ihely to enrich a few adventurers, yet, like that similar @iscovery which hastened the peopling of America, oc- easion an empire to spring up upon the Pacific seaboard like the palace of Aladdin, as it were, ine niget.

James HiH, of Evansvtiie := ine nelley of Gardner und others, on board a flat-boat, near ‘Troy, have just bad their trial, and sentenced to be nang. { was present during the close of the trial, and heard the closing sp on behalf of the prose- cation, The jury went out, and in about one bour returned a verdsot of guilty against both of them— Moses and Robert Kelley. “Oh, it was an awful mo- ment—uvot a whisper, orscarcely a breath, broke the | awful stillness that reigned around, and awaited the coming in of the jury and the reading of the verdict. As soon us it was announced, the Judge, jury, lawyers, and the whole immense throng of specta- tors, remained in deep and fixed silence for some time. Moses Kelley, the eldest and most hardened villain, dropped his head in his hands for a few mo- ments, then resemed his usual appearance of bold defiance, with marble countenance, and fixed eye on the Judge. The younger man has a pretty, inno- cent looking countenance, mild blue eye and deli- cate white bands. During the whole trial he was very low with flux, and had to be brought into court onabed. Here he lay, pale and subdued. When the verdict was read “Guilty,” I saw no visible change in his countenence. He looked as a dying Man, and may yet elude the sentence ot the law by a natural death. when asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be pro- nounced against bim, the elder Kelley rose and said he hoped they would show mercy to his brother, who was young and delicate, bet for himself he bad no- thing to ask, he was ready for tie worst. He seems to bid deflance to God and man. I un- derstand be said the other day, “if they do hang me, I hope they will do it in the morning early, that I may have suffisient time to get to hell by dinver time.” Never did I see the awful majesty of justice in such a light as during this solemn scene.
