He has found out at last that they will have nothing more to do with filibuster- ing, and, in fact, are heartily tired of them, Mr. Thrasher, General Goicouria and all. If Cuba ever is to be annexed to the United States it will moet probably be through honorable negotiation with Spain and o1r own government, or with the unanimous consent of her own people when they ehall have achieved their independence. The Pacific Ratsroaad—Mr. Bachunan’s Course —A Wagon Road Best. The letter of Mr. Buchanan to his democratic friends in California, in which he admitted the necessity of a railway to the Pacific, and gave an opinion as to the power of Congress to con- struct it asa military road, took many of the Southern politicians by surprise. The strict con- structionists, the men who think more of an omis- sion in the constitution than they do of its most admirable clauses, have more than insinuated that Mr. Buchanan might not have reeeived as many Southern votes as he did, if the letter had been seen in the Atlantic States on the day of the date, instead of the day of its return. But we undertake to say that Mr. Buchanan has impor- tant views on the subject, founded on a long and intimate knowledge of the policy which has pre- vailed in our government with regard ‘o the meritime States and our western Territories; he knows the secret movements which led the go- vernment away from the continental policy of the sages of the Revolution—a deep, a great and a splendid policy, which we can trace up to and through the administration of Jefferson, bat which was abandoned during the eras of Madi- son, Monroe and Adams, to be re-attempted, but only in part secomplished, by General Jackson. We say, then, that Mr. Buchanan must kaow that it has for years been the understood desiga of the leaders of all parties in the maritime or Atlantic States to preserve the power of the country in their own hands. Most of its great officcs have been, from time to time, at their disposal; the embassies, the Cabinet appointments, the army, with West Point to give it direction, and the mavy, have been the heritage of the great politicians of the Atlantic coast. The policy of the govern- ment in accordance with this seems to have been to detain and keep back the march of territorial population. The public domain so vast, and at that time so valueless, might have been given to actual settlers for their labor alone. The Indians removed from the Southern and Northwestern frontiers need not have been placed as a cordon round our new settlements to frighten away the pioneers of civilization, nor our little army post- ed as policemen to arrest the man who dared enter the plains for the purposes of settlement. It was a deep rooted opinion of Gen. Jackson that the political leaders in the maritime States agreed in this, that the legislation of the country should in ail cases have reference to the permanence and power of their constituencies, and that the seat of power should not go beyond the valley of the Mississippi, if it ever went even as far as that. He considered the United States Bank, the details of the public land system, the increase of the army, the navy, the bounties granted the fisheries, and other similar acts, as being managed chiefly to sustain and enrich the Atlantic and maritime States. Jt is believed that Mr. Calhoun under- stood this intention, and that he was understand- ingly one of the parties to this political league in favor of the Gen. Jackson left his un- finished pluns in this direction to the judgment of his successors. The discovery of the gold mines of California inaugurated an entire new policy in this gountry. No political combinations could resist this ap- peal to the cupidity of men. A new empire has risen on the shores of the Pacific, where before we had « doubtful settlement in Oregon, a doubtful boundary, and most slender connections with its sparse population. Tois new empire demands closer relations with us than now exist by a pas sage round Cape Horn, or the transit of an uu- friendly country. Thousands upon thousands have preferred an overland journey, in which they could take their cattle and household goods with them, and procure subsistence on the way, and it is now admitted that an inland road and a railway system must finally supersede the preset § circuitous routes. In consequence, surveys have lately been made in every direction by officers of the government, and by individuals on their owa responsibility. The country is thoroughly ex- plored, but the whole truth about it is concealed. Our maps are not accurate in their topography and some of them were never intended to & Not one half the mountains between Mexico au Californis are delineated, although they are abs: jutely full of gold, and in massiveness equal al) the mountains of Europe and Asia pat together. The character of the soil and climate of the grest mountain plateans between the Sierra Madre and the Sierra Nevada have not been fairly given: Nor has the fertility of the plains, irrigated by the waters that flow trom the mountain bases, been properly commented upon. The people are astonished, even now, to find that Kansas and Ne braska, which were onee thought as distant and a* ld as Siberia, are countries unsurpassed by any other on the globe. Unfortunately, too, the interests which have sprung up during the prosecution of these sw veys, and the increasing prosperity ot California, h ve bean divided fatally in reference to the T ute of tye Pacific Raitroad—a mere bubble in itself, tor a good wagon road is only practicable t certain. The Northern, the Southern, and tle Cemtral interests have been at variance over this bambug. Indeed, no momber of Congress fo the South or West who should dare act against the supposed views of his constituency could hope for @ re-election, and, finally, we have a many-headed monster project before Congres which it is supposed will swallow up all opposi- tion, aud yet please all. But this rigantic scheme is mixed up with so much of spoliation and plaa- der, so much of impracticability and impossi- bility, that it is justly considered merely a mask for the lobby, and a mantle for the conspirators, To come to the point at once, then, we entertain the opinion that but two lines of road can be established successfully, one south and one north —that the best grade of the coun'ry, aad the only practicable northern pass between the Pacific | \ and Ailantic are coanected with the valley where the head waters of the Platte aud Snake | rivers almost interlock each other, though their mouths are thousands of miles apart, There, with a double inclined plane, and grades alt ysens ble, mpared with others which art bas overcome, with soil, oli me end uoparalleled natural advantages cou formable, a road can covsstully located, which shall unite the F ic and Atlantic end from thence it mn* proseed to the month of the Columbia river, the ov‘y great river of the Pacific, with the finest arbor in the world, not- withstanding the stetements which it is alleged have been designedly made to thecontrary. This is the opinion of the most intelligent men of the day, and those who have entered into the exami- nation of the question, without personal motives to influence them. The policy of the maritime States must now yield to that which will recog- nize the greatness and the value of our trans- ‘Mississippian territories, those vast and temperate plains, reaching to the base of the mountains, the immense and fertile plateaus which Jie on and be- tween the ranges, the immense population which is to thrive there, the great trade direct, to grow up with the Eastern world, and the centralization geographically and politically of the future power of the United States, Mr. Buchanan then may well be excused even by his Southern supporters for having taken the only view of tbe Pacific Railroad question which it is possible for him to take under the circumstances. He understanda, a8 well as any American states- man ever did, the inevitable progress of our coun- try westward. He sees a new maritime coast oa the Pacific, which cannot be refused; he per- ceives the necessity of a direct and rapid 2om- manication with our possessions there, and that a railroad is only a question of time. He, therefore, cutting loose from theinternal improvement policy of ancient federalism, adopts that undoubted and unquestioned constitutional power of making a military road to the Pacific, which relieves th question from all political embarrassmenta. We should not be surprised, therefore. if in his first meseage he should take this ground and zealously defend it. The expansion of this country beyond its original limits, must carry with it the neces- sary means of union, government and: defence. The great West is to be the future theatre of the most rapid progress ever yet made on this conti- nent, and Mr. Buchanan will not, and cannot, check the march of civilization in that direction; nor will he strive to do so. The Fillbustering Complications 1 Central Amenica. When Marey instructed John McKeon to ascer- tain whether Commodore Vanderbilt was a fil!bus- ter, that astute official thought the shortest way to attain the information required would be to ask the Commodore himself. He accordingly indited ® letter to the Commodore in the usual judicial formula, guilty or not guilty? which was at once replied to with a spirited not guilty. The indignant terms in which the Commodore’s reply was couched led us at once to the conclusion that instead of being a filibuster, or one of their aiders and abettors, he was rather the other way. This fact being well ascertained—thanks to Mr. McKeon’s brightness—we were not at all sarpri- sed to learn a short time since, from Washington, (about the time of Commodore Vanderbilt's visit there) that Costa Rica had obtained a loan of half’a million of dollars; and we have been still Jess surprised since to learn that that flourishing republic intends to establish a mugoificent steam navy, and has purchased and is now fitting out here the Falcon as the pioneer ship. It is not yet decided whether the new war steamer of the Costa Ricans will be sent to the Pacific to capture Commodore Faysoux and Walker's one brig navy, or whether she will go at once from here to San Juan del Norte and enforce the claim of Costa Rica to the whole of the right bank of San Juan river, including Punta Arenas, with the Transit Com- pany’s buildings and one-half of San Juan har- bor. The latter seems the most practical and feasible, as she could not get a com n to cruise until she reached the Costa Rican territo- ry, which is most approachable at San Juan de! Norte. As soon as she gete her commission from Preeident Mora she may run up the national flag, salute the British and French ships in ports, and, landing a small force, take possession of Panta Arenas in the name of Costa Rica. Su informed, is the plan now combined, and ia which Senor Irizari and Commodore Vanderbilt are said to be engaged. This movement opens a new phase of Wolker’s position, and shows that whatever may be the news from him, now expected to arrive by the ‘Texas at New Orleans, his ultimate fate is very doubtful. Should he succeed in driving back the allies now, the new plan of operations may cute!’ all hope of his succees, for if Costa Rica commis ‘ons one steamship in the Caribbean sea, the port of San Juan del Norte, which is entirely de- fenceless, and the San Juan river must pass inte her hands, She now claims the sovereignty of that territory, and Wf she enforces it, one end of the Transit route, at least, may be returned t» Commodore Vanderbilt. The errors that Walker has committed, in m') tary as well as in political affairs, have been sufficient to have overwhelmed any man, or any cause except one that had such great elements of vitality as a Southern move has among our people. But notwithsta all that, it is evident that he can be over- thrown only by aid from New York, which has already been sought by the allies, and which Costa Rica is now about to re The true battle is being fought here by the con- testants for the Transit route, and whatever may be the fate of Walker the result will be far Other Saxon influences will rule in Central America, either through Vanderbilt or some other party, and our Indian Empire mast become ® fixed fact. The whole plot is becoming y Ly interesting, and we wait to see what the friends of Walker will prepare to meet the new 9 steamer, , We are ive. Tur Resowetion ov INgemy iro Tie Lonny. It is to be hoped that the Committee of Ia- quiry which has been appointed to inquire into the corroptions charged upon members of Con atess will not confine ite labors or inquiries to the particular case which has led to its appoint. ment. An opportanity is now afforded for a thorough investigation of the general system of corruption ae practised at the federal ©, 3 it should not be thrown away. Ever since the Galphin claime. it has been the belief of many persons, and has been freely asserted by the press, that corruption was rife at Washington, and that members of Congress, officers under government, writers for the press, and politicians and lawyers generally, were deeply immersed in it. It has been a eulject of common remark that the lobby has within the last few years—and expedially under the administration of poor Pierce—ewollud to unexampled proportions; that it includes among its acolytes notonly the rank and file of Congressional suttlers, but men in high statiou, ladies in fashionable society, clergymen, and many who from their position and character would never have been supposed to have dirtied tbeir hands with such things. And it has gone rally been understood that the whoie influence of Washington society has been thrown into the reale in favor of the lobby, became ite opera tions naturally led to an increased expenditure, apd to a more reckless, more profligate, and therefore more brilliant society. It is due to Washington, to Congress, and to the country at large, that the committee now appointed should take means to verify these no- torious charges. If Congress and Washington are as corrupt as they are said to be, the truth should be known; if they have been maligned, they are entitled to vindication, Io either case the committee will obviously fail in its duty if it confines its inquiry to the particular charge which is its especial care. * The Festival at Tammany Hail. No small part of our space. was occupied yesterday by an account of the festivities’ at Tammany Hall in honor of the auniversary of the battle of New Orleans, To criticiss after dianer speeches is usually an ungrateful task; under the genial influence of a social bottle men are not apt to weigh their words, and though champagne may lend eftt: vescence to the fancy, it certainly does not cool the head or clear the eye. But the speeches at this celebration were something more than after dinner oratory. The speakers knew what they were going to say before hand; their words were carefully premeditated, and in not a few instances the probable effect of every sen- tence was elaborately pondered. For it is well known that while General Jackson. was the nominal hero of the festivity, Mr. Buchanan was the real deity at whose shrine the democrats were worshipping; the real battle that was sung was the battle of the spoils, aad the only enemy that was heartily denounced was he who seeks to deprive the chiets of Tammany of their legitimate share of the public plunder. The big mouthed eloquence which was Jet off on that occasion wears a comical aspect when it is remembered that it was aimed solely at pelf. One can't help laughing at these poor fellows, who pour forth such grand phrases about Jackson and New Orleans, and the glory of old Tammany; they are really such sorry actors, they take such little pains to hide the cords and springs which set them jumping. There is not a theatre in the city that would employ performers who were #80 awk- ward in assuming the personality of their role. There is not a manager who could tolerate such clumsiness of style and so much forgetfulness. But the comical is not the only side of this affair which is worth looking at. Read the speeches—Ludlow's, Walbridge’s, Van Burea’s, Schell’s, Cochrane's, and the others—and you will think there never was, in ail the world, so happy and united a family as these democrats. Damon and Pythias, Pylades and Ores'es, and all the other classic types of brotherly love were fools to them. The New York democrats, it would seem, are in a perpetual embrace; they have not a secret from each other; not a cload overshadows the beautiful harmony of their intercourse. From Schell to Cochrane, the public must conclude that they spend their whole leisure in private caresses and interchanges of mutual affection. Whereas, the fact is, that without exception every one of these loving creatures devotes his whole thoughts to the subject of cut- ting his neighbour's throat, Not one of the speakers on Thursday but would jump at an op- portunity of contriving the political assassination of his colleagues on that occasion, Cochrane wowd kill off Schell, and Schell would kill off Van Buren, and Van Buren would kill off Lud- low, who would kill them all off if he conld; at the last opening every one of these model breth- ren would fall to an internecine war, and w fight until strength failed him. Nor wil! the op- portunity long be wanting. When the tata! mo- ment arrives that the offices must be divided, and the sheep finally separated from the goats, we ball see with what rage and fury this democratic band of brothers will fall upon each other. If classic history failed to supply a parallel to thei Jove and affection on Thursday, it will be founc equally barren at this time, too; unless, perhaps, the famous crop of armed men who sprang fro the dragon’s teeth, and fought steadily till t last couple fell dead on their shields, side by side, may be assumed asa faint picture of the New York democracy during the first week In Marc) next. A happy thing it is for this country that poli- tics have so little to do with it, and tho people have so little with politics. Men buy and sell; sow and reap; turn logs into guustocks, or iron into sey thes; raw cotton into printed dresses; earn their living in what bonest way come+ easiest and best; and think no more, at r tions of politi problems in astronoiny. On the other band, politics returns the compli- ment. It pase the qu itizen, the farmer, the merchant, producer, the movhanic, the of qnes- man of mind, to stir up the Cochranes, the Lnd- lows and the Van Burens to the verge of frenzy; but who cares—what matters § what these poli- ticians do or 10N oF aN Uxirnn States Pexxsyivaxia —To-morrow the Leg Pennsylvania, convened at Harrisburg. will be called upon to choose a Senator of the United States.
