Elections in the Northern States The-news-from elections in the'North ern States, though very meagre, are quite 'discouraging, and if they are a eorrectindioation of the final result vre may regard Lincoln's election as certain. The strongest hope at the South was that he might lose Pennsyl vania. but his - Mends are confident that that State has gone for Curtin, the Bl^ck Republican candidate for Govern- o>, by from ten to fifteen thousand ma jority. The returns from Ohio indicate increased Black Republican gains, and the same unwelcome intelligence reach es us from Indiana. These two latter States, however, we did not expect to see go otherwise than for Lincoln.— And the Influences whioh were brought to bear in Pennsylvania, and the imper fect arrangement* for a fusion against Curtin, account, in some degree for the result ,$here. The iron manufacturing interests in that StMe are very consideable and the number of persons dependent upon it are great. For several years post, some- of the manufacturing establishments have been suspended, on account of the low tariff on iron, and hundreds, perhajp thousands of operatives thrown out' ^employment. These, and all others interested id this department of industry will of course support that po litical party which Is 4 most fully com mitted t<> a protective tariff. Lincoln and his mends have pledged themselves in every way to carryout this policy 'and have .thus secured this vote in Pennsylvaniai.whlch is by no means inconsiderable. Mr. Buchanan in 1856 received a large proportion, oftfals vote, on account of known hlgh'tariffproclivities, and he was enabled, with this vote, and such as State pride, and his personal influenoa gave Mm^ to carry Pennsylvania. While WO do n^t entirely despair, fet, we have little hope of taking this Stato from Lincoln, and we must now turn our eyesto'New Yotk to rescue the Gov ernment from fbedisgrncG of Black Re- ppblicaq, m$tijfiv. 3pj[ the calamities Which are almost inevitable. m at siatce, out mu juiuuroy tmu, ~ iron? vpafou* & people'dn not rise in their mqjesty and put down their would-be rulers who are pressing them on to revolution and ru in, Thus believing, I do not feel at liberty to deeline your invitation, and will address the people of ftoydon coun ty oh Wednesday, the 10th hut., when and where I may give expression to the Opinions I entertain upon the great and momentous question now . agitating the people of the South, and threatening to “precipitate the Cotton States into a rev olution.” Very respectfully, r .

He called dVftcate W his^bdn [communicated.] A Pacific Hallway. In his late report, Mr. Wadsworth, Engineer of the Dalton A Jacksonville Railroad, says: “From Cleaveland to the Gulf at Pensacola or Mobile, your Road can have no rival, and these are, in fact the most important points of the whole Southern seaboard. This seems to be the point at which the future commerce of the country is likely to be concentrated, and a glance at a rail way map of the United States shows there are already several prominent lines about being finished up all the way from the great Northern Lakes.— Upon this coast will eventually be built up the great commercial emporium of the continent and the ports from which not only the productions of the South, but also of the Northwest will find their departure to foreign markets. Thus the R. A J. Railroad in connection with other liu«a travelling In the* same gene ral direction will become one of the important througlifares betweon the in terior States and the tropics. Its suc cess thus becomes of common interest with these lines, and they are equally -interested in its progress and the gene ral features of its construction. Every commercial, community perceives the importance of reciprocal support and when the advantages whioh will accrue from the completion of the D. A J. Railroad to the connecting roads is ful ly understood, they will offer their hear ty oo-operation and endorsement, for the interest is one and identical, and in aiding the construction of this they but contribute to their own existence and extension. From Dalton Northeast there are at this day 1320 connecting miles of rail- ^ ond, in operation reaching to Bangor, the interior city of Maine, thence to Halifax the most Eastern harikJf 'ipf the continent 415 miles, of whichjtriqre than two thirds of the distance is- operating and the remainder in’progress towards completion Southwestward.to New Or leans, 520 miles (the Ala, & Tenn. River Railroad is to bo completed to Jackson ville by Feb. 1st. ’61, and the Selma A Gulf Road is being worked with vigor) and even to the Rio Grande, the west ern border of Texas, 1220, this Great Railway is in progress of Construction for the greater port of the way. The Rio Grande, Mexican A Pacific Railroad will complete this extended, chain of Railway. Its whole length is some 3500 miles, and with but few modifiestionl it is the shortest and without doubt the most practicable route for a Railway across the continent. It is tangent to the ooast of New England and the Gulf of Mexico, the general bearing being about- Northeast and Southwest. It passes through some of the flourishing and populous cities of the Union, and in its latitude and longitude embraces the road. Of the Mexican portion of (tips “Conti nental Railway” as It will eventual ty iiornpe, it Is sufficient to say that lilfe. ral charters have been given, and that too, to citizens of .Ota United States, and all other privileges that could ho granted for tho favorable prosecution of the work; and that Its progress has on ly been staid by the unstable condition of the government, The Railway wHl not be arrested at the .border of Mexico. The necessities of the commercial world demand that the best route across the oontinerft shall be made available and that at an early day, and the progress tf he age is of itself sufficient guarantee that the ground will not long remain ‘unbroken” and unoccupied. The opening trade of China and Japan, as well as Australia and our own Western coast require this to be done pronfpt- iy. The distance from New York to San Francisco direct is about2800 miles; by Monterey and Masatlan some 3800 miles; but the difference is much -less than 1000 miles when the excessive curvature of the northern route is taken into consideration.

" the athapin. his own nerant advocate of ms, and said tbat'tliis of itself dis qualified him for the Presidency. He remarked also that.he would have been better satisfied if Mr. Breckinridge hod listened to the;solicitations. of his lad to hear bim applaUd the course of ohn Bell, by saying that be “nod stay ed at ho(neand,behave<l^iimself like. a gentleman.” Benton, In his reply, pro posed’that this should decide the claims of tho great aspirants, and that as Bell, even in the estimation. of the distin guished Senator, had done better than either of tho other opponents of Lin- ooln, and, like a dignified candidate for Presidential honors, “had stayed at home and behaved himself liko a gen tleman,” the people had better take him. Mr. Bem.’s Soundness.—One can scarcely take up a Democratic paper in this section without finding Mr. Bell denounced as unsound. At the North a different opinion prevails. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, a fit col league of Sumner, made a speech in Jersey City not long since, and declar ed that “John Bell hod been the most eoruietent, most determined pro-slavery man who ever held a seat in the Senate, lie had cast over 50 votes directly against Freedom, and/or slavery. m m m “Ion,” the Washington cores pondent of the Baltimore Sun, (Breckin ridge,) writes, October 3d: The great Union meeting to be held in New York next Monday is to heal all the dissensions in the democracy, and to consign to political oblivion all the anti- fusion is ts, whether they be few or man' >y- we w Not only the President but Mr. Breck- ... r a»,d * s„ 2C r ran cisco no more than is that of the which Committee is composed of ama- Atlantie to New York, and much the larger share of the commerce of the world would find itsolf nearer its desti nation at Masatlan than at Son Fran cisco. Anything destined for Asia would find itself equally well placed, and the time to the Sandwich Islands U -Vnnrt tho same. I learn from reports of Engineers who have given their personal observation to this Mexican part of the route, some facts which may be well mentioned in this connection and will bear compari son with the various reports at govern mental surveys to the Pacific. The route through Monterey and Masatlan is easily accessible to the ocean, smooth in profile, pleasant in cli mate, and abounds in materials, food and labor, Ac., Ac. * * * As to the cost of building the two roads and the expense of working the contract is as great as that of their climates. Politi* cal considerations may force a road at governmental expense by a route more northern and circuitous, but this of all the projected routes, connecting our Railway system in the East with the Pacific, it is believed will alone pay in terest on the cost. Out roR Bin, and Everett.—Wo learn from the Alexodnria (La. j Consti tutional that E. N.

It odds that “the great issue of this campaign is Union or Disunion, and on that issue there is no silent party but the Breck- nridge party—no mum candidate but JobnC. Breckinridge.” composed < ority of Breckinridge men. _ _ 'In Fauquier county, Va., three hundred Democrats have come out for Bell, and the cry is “still they come!” We shall carry Virginia by 20,000. Gov. Letcher writes to a friend in Mississippi, as stated by the Vicksburg Whig, that lna ?±“Bdtt will carry Virginia and nothing can prevent it.” (Greensboro' Patriot.
