KASTMAN. ’Tis a fearful night in the winter time, As cold as it ever can be ; The rear of the storm is heard like the chime Os the waves on tlie angry sea, The moon is full, but her stiver light Tlie storm dashes out with his wings of night. And over the sky from south to north, Not a star is seen as the winds come forth In the strength of a mighty glee. Al! day the snow came down—ail day— As it never came down before, And over the earth at night there lay Some two or three feet or more. The fence was lost, and the wall of stono ; The window block’d, and tlie well-curb gone ; The haystack grown to a mountain lift; And the woodpile looked like a monster drift As it lay at the farmer's door. As the night set in, came liail and snot. And the air grew sharp and chil 1 , And the warning rout ol a suiieu blow Was lieaid on the distant hill; And the Norther ! see ! on the mountain peak In lus Great 1) ho a the 01. l trees wiiihe and shriek ! He shouts aiotig tlie plain, Ho! Ho! He drives from his nostrils the blinding snow, And growls with a sat age will! Such a night as this to be found abroad In the snow and tlie stinging air, A shivering dog, in the field by the road, When tlie hail through his shaggy hair Tlie wind drives hard, doth crouch and growl And shut his eyes with a dismal howl! Then to shield himself from the cutting sleet, His nose is pressed on liis quivering feet, Pray, what does the dog do there ? His master came from the town to-night, And lost the traveled way ; And for hours he trod with main and might A path lor his horse and sleigh ; But deeper still the snow-drifts grew, And colder still the fierce wind blew ; And his mare, a beautiful Morgan brown, At last o'er log hud floundered down, That deep in a huge drift lay. Many a plunge witii a frenzied snort, She made in the heavy snow ; And her master strove till his breath grew short, With a word and gentle blow ; But the snow was deep, and the tugs were tight, His hands were numb’d and had lost their might; So he struggled back to bis sleigh again, And strove to shelter himself iu vain, With his coat and his buffalo. He lias given the last faint jerk of the rein To rouse up his dying steed; And the poor dog howls to the blast in vain For help in bis master’s need ; He strifes for awhile with wistful cry To catch but a glance from Ins heavy eye, And wags Isis tail in the rude wind flap The skirts of his coat across his lap And whines that he take no heed. The wind goes down ; the storm is o’er ; ’Tis tlie hour of midnight past; The forest writhes and bends no more In the rush of the mighty blast. The moon looks out with a silver light On the high old hills with tlie snow all white ; And the giant shadow of Camel’s Hump, Os ledge, and tree, and ghostly stump, On the silent plain are cast, tint tnere are tney —tiy tne motion log — Who came that night from the town — All dead! tlie man and his faithful dog, And his beautiful Morgan Brown ! Ile sits in his sleigh—his face is bland— With his cap on his head,and the reins in his hand; The dog with his head on his master’s feet ; And the horse half seen through the crusted sleet, Where site lay when she floundered down ! From the Daily Globe. SPEECH OF Hon. .Alfred In r erson, On the Pacific Railroad Bill—Pelivered in the Senate, Jam. 6, 1859. Mr. IVERSON. Mr. President, when this bill was under consideration at the hist session, I sub mitted some amendments to it, the object of which was to provide for the construction of two Pacific Railroads —a northern and southern road. The bill then reported to the Senate by the select commit tee, and which is tlie same now before us, provi ded tor Government aid to only one road, and confined its eastern terminus to some point on the Missouri river, between the mouths of the Rig S’oux and Kansas rivers and its western terminus lo San Ei uncisco. It proposed to grant the alter nate sections of the Government lands for twenty miles on each side ol tlie toad on its whole route, making twenty sections, or twelve thousand eight hundred acres to the mile. It also proposed to contract with the person oi persons, company or companies, who should undertake its construction, for the transportation of the Government mails for twenty years, and to agree to advance by way of pay lor this service, in regular and equal portions, #25,000,0ik) in government bonds, its sections of twenty miles should be completed and put in ope ration ; the company constructing the road to re fund back this advaned pay in railroad service, in carrying the mails, soldiers, sailors, munitions of war, and otiier Government stores and property, at certain rates of compensation to be agreed upon in the contract, and limited iu tiie bill itself. My amendments proposed that the President should enter into a similar contract or contracts, for the construction of two roads, the eastern ter minus of one to be on the Missouri river, anywhere north of the thirty-sixth parallel of north latitude and within the boundaries of the United States, and ending at any point or place on the Pacific coast that might be selected by the contracting par ty ; the other road to be located on any route south of the thirty-sixth parallel of north latitude west of the Mississippi, within the United States, and ter minating at any point on the Pacific selected by the contractors. My plan proposed a similar grant of land to each road of twenty sections to the mile, and a contract with each road to the extent of 812,500,000 in Government bonds.for mail and other government service, to be advanced in like proportionate sums, and under similar restrictions, limitations, and conditions, as were imposed in the original bill. Upon my amendments, as well as upon the mer its of the whole subject, the necessity and proprie ty of a railroad communication between the Atlan tic and Pacific States, and the constitutional power of Congress to atlbrd Government aid in land and postal contracts, I submitted my views at some length during the last session. These views were well matured and have undergone no change. 1 have no doubt whatever that Congress has the power, under the Constitution, to “ dispose of the public territory” in this or any other way deemed to he for the general public good. It is a subject within sound discretion of Congress ; and ordina rily, railroad grants, as they are called, contribute largely to the public good. It is true they benefit individuals, those who on tiie roads; hut it is not an objection to them in my view, if they, at the same time, do not diminish the value and price of the lands reserved by the Government, or lessen the aggregate sum tor which the whole Sell. If the Government by the operation and effect ot these grants, obtains as much money for the re served alternate sections as the whole would com mand without the road, and sells them sooner, and at the same time stimulates their settlement and cultivation, thus increasing the population and wealth ot the country and opening avenues of com merce and travel. I cannot, for the life of me, see what objection there can be to the exercise of this power, regulated and controlled always by a sound discretion, as to the object of the grant, and the necessity or propriety and value of the propos ed road. Believing that we have the power to grant the lands, I do not doubt the expediency of making the grant in this case. If ever tlierc was a necessity or propriety in building any railroad, and giving the aid of the Government to its con struction, it exists, in my opinion, iu this very case. • I shall not consume time in enumerating the rea sons for the construction of this road ; they arc to numerous and so very obvious that none can doubt, and may he said to establish an absolute necessity. Nor have I any doubt that Congress may autuoriz* and provide for a contract with the constructors of this railroad tor the transportation of the United States niuils, troops, munitions o! war and other Government property, for a definite petiud of years, at a certain annual price, and may undertake to pay the contract price, cither in whole or in part, in advance. This is also a que:-tiou of mere expediency, within the” constitutional powers of Congress, and only to be guided and governed by a sound and proper discretion. If, therefore, by the exercise of these constitutional powers, aud within h w holesome discretion, the construction of this great work of public necessity and usefulness can be secured and accomplished, I think the obliga tion upon us to exercise tue power is imperative.— But sir, whilst I am a warm advocate for the con struction of this toad, and am ready and willing to giant Government aid, withiu the constitutional bounds, and to a reasonable extent, I am not will ing to vote an acre of land or a dollar of money towards the construction of a Pacific railroad which will be so located as to confer all its bene fits upou one section of this Union. I made this objection at tiie last session, and I stand by it at ibis. Now, sir, I have not a solitary doubt, that if on ly the road is provided for and the route is left open to be selected by the company who shall un dertake it, a northern route will be adopted, ma king its immediate connections with tlie northern and northwestern roads, and pouring all its vast travel ami freights over those toads and into the northern States aud cities of tills Union. The Tiie South may now and then get a straggling pas senger, a box of stray goods, but the great bulk of all its operations will be turned towards the North ; and sir, I cannot but be surpiised that any -outhern Senator should tie willing to vote such a magnificent donation of land and money to an en terprise from which his section is likely to derive Mich trifling profits. Will it be said, sir, that if the South lias the best route, capitalists will build the road on that route ? Is it likely that northern cap ital will be invested to construct a southern road? No, sir ; not a dollar will ever be so spent.* Tiie political and sectional prejudices which pervade the northern people against the South would be suf ficient of themselves to deter them. llow mueh northern capital is ever invested in southern enter prises ? It is a notorious fact, that w hilst no north ern railroad ever pays more than six per cent, and many of them pay less, whilst some pay nothing, there is scarcely a railroad in all the southern States that does not pay seven per cent, a large majority of them yield eight per cent, and many of them even more. And yet, sir, there is not one dollar of northern capital in a thousand, yea, probably not in ten thousand, invested in southern roads.— Northern capitalists shun all southern investments as if the very touch was pollution. Why, sir, whilst a northern man, with northern security, can bonow any amount of money in New York at from four to six per cent per annum, 1 venture to say that even the Scnatof from South Carolina, [Mr. Hammond,] as wealthy as he is and as popular as he ias lately rendered himself in the North by his Barnwell speech, if ho were to go to New York and ask for a loan of SIO,OOO, and propose to mortgage his plantation and negroes, worth half a million, as security, he could not get a dollar. Such, sir, is the worthless opinion which north ern capitalists have of southern securities, south ern enterprises, and southern investments. And, sir, do you think that these feelings, these opinions these prejudices, would not operate in the selection and construction of a Pacific railroad ? But, sir, there is even a more powerful cause than these, whieh would control the question of selection and force the road upon a northern route. Open this speculation to northern cupidity ; put this glittering prize of twenty-five million acres of the public land and twenty-five millions of Gov ernment money, in the shape of a twenty-five years’ mail contract, up to competition, and who can doubt for a moment that it would be clutched bv northern speculators and capitalists ? And when we add to these the countless millions of commercial benefits and money receipts which a Pacific railroad would bring to the section into which it is to run ; w lien we look at the vast mon eyed interests already invested in northern and western roads, and the large number of people concerned in them, ail residing in the North and West—lie must be indeed blind who could for a moment suppose that a southern route would bo adopted. Do you think, sir, that tlie railroad com panies of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, loiva, Wisconsin, Minnesota, to say uothing of the New England States, with all their various, extended,and ramified interest, their numberless stockholders and vast moneyed and commercial connections and relations, would fur nish the means or permit a southern road to be built? No, sir; they would have unlimited control over the subject, and would place the road where their own interests would be most promoted. I am not opposed to a northern road. I am w illing to give the North the privilege of building one if they choose, and put them upon the same footing with the South. lam willing to grant land to a northern road, aDd give it the aid of a liberal mail contract; but I insist that the South sliull be put on a perfect equality with the North. If the Noitli can take the land and the mail contract, and raise the means to construct a northern road, let her do it-. If the South, with like advantages, cannot do so, let the South suffer from the failure. All we want is to have an equal chance. Give us that, and for one, I shall never murmur at or envy the North any benefits it may derive from a Pacific railroad built by its superior wealth or superior enterprise. But l do object to and protest against any arrange ment bv which the aid of the Government is to be invoked to construct a work of internal improve ment which is to be so unequal in its operations; which will confer untold benefits and blessings up on one, and comparatively none upon the other, section of tlie Union. Sir, this unequal flow of the Government money and Government benefits into the great northern maelstrom has been going on long enough, and shall not continue any longer by any vote of mine. I do not object to northern prosperity ; but 1 insist that, in the dispensation of Government money and patronage, every section shall be put on an equality. Sir, if the statistical tables of Govern ment expenditures were consulted, it would appear that more than three-fourths of the money and lands expended by Government have been appro priated to the North and West, comprising the free States of this Union. It. is all wrong, sir. If ei ther section is to have the advantage, it should be the weaker one. The North boasts oi her superior numerical strength and her great preponderance in wealth, and yet her Senators and Representatives in Congress let no opportunity escape, but are ev er pressing and pushing forward every Government scheme that can add to these elements of power on the one hand, or weaken them on the other. Such, sir, have been the workings of the Federal Gov ernment since the formation of the Federal Union, and such, I apprehend, will be its workings as long as that Union lasts, or until the South asserts her equality of rights and benefits as the conditiou of remaining in tne Union. And speaking of the Union, sir, I take occasion to say that there is another reason connected with it, which makes me object to any bill, the provision of w hich will secure the Government aid in the construction of a railroad to the Pacific, exclusive ly confined to the northern States. Sir, I believe that the time will come, when the slave States will be compelled, in vindication of their rights, inter ests and honor, to separate from the tree States, and erect an independent Confederacy; and 1 am not sure, sir, that the time is not near at hand when that event will oeeur. At all events, lam satisfied that one of two tilings is inevitable : either that the slave States must surrender their peculiar insti tutions, or separate from the North. I do not in tend, on this occasion, to enter into an elaborate or prolonged discussion of this proposition. I content myself with expressing my lirtn belief, and a brief allusion to the foundation of that opinion. It is unnecessary to look back to the commencement of the anti-slavery agitation in the northern States, and to trace its regular and rapid growth to its present monstrous proportions. I remember twenty-five years ago, when peti tions were first presented to Congress for the abo lition of slavery in the District of Columbia ; it was the beginning of the agitation, and was limi ted to u few deluded religious fanatics amongst the men, and some of the weaker sex, of the New England States. It nevertheless aroused the fears and excited the angry feelings of many of the Southern people ; it produced much discussion in Congress, ami amongst the newspaper press of the southern States. Many expressed their belief that it was a beginning of a storm which was to sweep over the free StHtes, carrying everything before -it; but they were met with the syren song which the distinguished Senator from South Carolina lias re cently so eloquently poured forth, “ there is no danger; slavery is too strong to be overturned,let the sound, conservative mind and heart of the North he appealed to, and all will he right ; our friends there will protect us.” Behold the result of”the late elections * With the bold, undisguised declaration of hostility to slavery at the South, as VOLUME XXXVI.—NO. 44. I euuncuted by the h > great leader of it* enemiea 1 Ht Rochester, with hi# loud aounding pronuncia mento of “ down with the accursed thing ” with 2 the bloody flag of anti-slavery unfurled, arid “war I'* lb r ku “ e ’ “ riWen “PO' It* fold., there i. not at this day a majority of trite ■ #n#ervative friends of i lhc r, K h{9 of llle isoi'ib ti a single free State of this j L “ lu “ 11,19 sule l ‘ ,e *owkv Mountains. The demon | ot Hbohuoa, iu his most hideous shape, has cover i ed them all over with the footprints of his onward j and remorseless march to power, j ci * r he knows but little of the workings of hu man nature, who supposes that the spirit of anti s.every tanatieisui which now pervades the north | er “ tie “ rl s: °P short of its favorite and linal ! “** ? ml mi—the universal emancipation of slave rj ghe Luited .States by the operation and action ol the Federal Government. When Mr. Wilber force began the agitation of his scheme of emanci pation in the British West India Island^there wsa uot a corporal’s guard in both Houses OT the Brit ish Parliament who sympathized with him or ap proved the movement; and ret, in less than a j of a century, all England became nboli | tioniied, and perpetrated, by a decroee in Farlia | iiient, one of the most arbitrary and outrageou# violations of private rights which was cvcrruili#- tad by despotic .power upon peaceful and loyal sub jeetr. And so it will l,c in this country. The stun# spirit which brought about emancipation in tha British Islands, wiil produce it here ‘whenever th# power is obtained to pass and to enforce its de crees. When the present Republican party, or its legitimate succeseor* in some other name, shall get possession of the Government ; when it has the President, both Houses of Congress, and the iudi ciary, what will stay its hand? It cannot aland still; it it does, it dies. To lire and reign it must go on. Step by step it will be driven onward in its mad career uatil slavery is abolished or the Cnion dissolved. One ol these two things is as mevita b!e as death. I know that there are men even in the South, who, like the distinguished Senator from South ( nrojina, argue that slavery is stronger and safer now in the Union than it ever has been—that the South, by unity and concert, can always combine with a party at the North sufficiently strong to car ry the election and control the action of the Fed eral Government. In my opinion there never was a greater mistake. Suppose the election of Presi dent were to come off at this time, and ail tha southern States, including even Maryland, wera united upou a candidate : how many free States would he carry t Perhaps California, and Oregon if sh# is admitted; but not another State. *The recent elections show clearly that the Abolitionist# have n#t only a decided but an overwhelming ma jority, in every free StateSm the Atlantic slope.— In all the late elections, conservative and sound democracy, the only element sympathizing with the South, has not carried a single free State. I do not consider the triumph of the distinguished Sen ator from Illinois [Mr. Douglas] as a victory of sound Democracy. It was a victory of Froe-Soil Democracy over Abolition Whiggery, and no more; and I would not give a copper for the difference.’ So far as the South and her constitutional rights are concerned, it was a victory over them. I would not turn on my heel for choice between the Wil inot proviso and the squatter sovereignty doctrine and policy of the Senator from Illinois. Indeed, I was driven to select between them, I would take the former. It is open, manly, and decisive; it settles the question at once, by debarring the southern people, in terms from cute ring Ihe Ter ritory with their slave property ; it is an open and undisguised denial of right to the South, which the South could resist or submit to, as her sense of honor or her policy might dictate, whilst the squat ter-sovereignty doctrine and practice, as defined by its distinguished advocate, is plausible, delusive, deceptive, and fatal. No man of common sense can suppose that, under it, the South will ever ob tain another foot of Territory, oradd another slave State to this Liiiou. Both are political heresies, finding no authority in the Constitution ; equally violative of the rights of the southern people, sub versive of their equality in the Union,and an insult to their honor, which in my opinion, alike demand their reprobation and resistance. The people ot the southern States, as coequals in the l uton, and as joint and equal owners of the public territory, have the right to emigrate to these Territories with their slave property, and to the protection and the enjoyment of that property bylaw during the existence of the territorial gov ernment ; laws passed by Congress as the trustee and common head of the joint property—head of all the States and all the people of the States in the public territory ; laws recognizing the equal right of every citizen to go in and possess and enjoy th# common inheritance ; laws, not to deprive men of property, but to regulate and secure its enjoyment; laws to put every man’ in the United States upon an equal footing in the exercise of a great consti tutional right. This, sir, is what we of the South are entitled to at the hands of a common Govern ment ; and we ought not to lie content with less, or submit to a denial of it. I am free to declare here, that if I had the control of the southern people. I would demnnd this of Congress at tl.e or ganization of every territorial government as th# terms upon which the South should remain in the Union. 1 would hold our “ right” in one hand and “separation” in the other, and leave the North to choose between them. If you would do us jus tice, I would live with you in peace; if you de nied us justice, I would not live with you another day. Sir, abolition is advancing with rapid strides to the accomplishment of iu great end, the universal emancipation of slavery in the United States. The distinguished Senator from New York, [Mr. Sew ard,] when he uttered his anathemas, and ushered forth his declaration of war against southern slave ry at Rochester, understood well the feeling which sways, and is likely to sway, the masses in th# northern States upon this important and exciting subject. The North intends to put down slavery at the South, “ peaceably if they can, forcibly if they must.” It is true the Senator'from New York, the great embodiment of this abolition sentiment and will, has very kindly and condescendingly told the world that this great eud and object are to be accomplished by “ constitutional means !” What fool does not understand that? A majority party, controlling all the branches of the Government, aud bent upon an objeet, would have no difficulty in finding a grant of power in the Constitution for the accomplishment of any object. What better authority would they waut than the power given to Congress to “ provide for the general welfare” of the Cnited States ? Slavery, they say, is a great curse, a political, moral, and social evil; a dark and damning stain upon the national escutcheon ; a blight upon its prosperity ; a great aud growing injury even to individuals and States who tolerate it. The national welfare demands its extinguish ment, and Congress may and must do it. Here is the grant, and here the necessity and occasion of its exercise. What is to deter or hinder ? Tne union of the southern people in presidential elec tions ? That is the almighty panacea of some gen tlemen. Such an idea is not only lollj, bnt it is trea son against the South. The constitutional power will soon be found ; there are more clauses than one w hich would justify such a proceeding upon the part of a hold and reekless majority. 1 have heard that John Quincy Adams once said, in a speech delivered in the House of Representatives, that there were so many clause* in the Constitu tion open to eonstruction, that he could drive a four-horse wagon and team through forty places in it, and find authority in each to abolish slavery in the southern States ; and so, sir, when the lit pub lican party obtains the possession and control of the Government, President, Congress, Supreme Court, and shall feci secure of its power, and con fident of success, there will not only be no consti tutional barrier to stay its hand, but abundant au thority will be found in the Constitution, as it is, to justify aDy measure its wisdom or its folly may prompt it to adopt. Sir, there is but one path of safety for the insti tution of slavery in the South, when this northern avalanche of fanaticism and folly shall press upon us ; and that path lies through separa tion ami to a southern confederacy. This is the groat ultimate security for the rights, honor, and prosperity of the South. Sir, there are even now thousands of her sons who believe that the slave States, formed into a separate confederacy, and united under such a government as experience and wisdom would dictate, would combine elements of more political power, national prosperity, social security and individual happiness, than any nation of ancient or modern times; and, sir, lam among the number. This is not the time or place to en - ter upon the discussion of this proposition ; if it were, the demonstration ol its truth would be easy’ ami irresistible. But whether this be so or not — whether the southern States would be better off in a separate confederacy or in the present Union, one thing is certain ; and that is, that no Union, *r
