"A mesTge from the President,

The above from the W.-i.-hington

animadversions on our course Uward
Omaha in rela i m to the Pacific R. R.
The Republican either inadvertently
or wi lfuily mi .-.understands us on this
question; we are t'.u friend of Omaha
equally, but not sohlinJIy as her own

Smoky II. II route, bat always have and
do now earnestly advocate the Repub

we see plainly what is mea nt vi, that
in one thousind jniles by one route
Denver ani Colorado are penetrated,
and consequently cue end of the dis

While ly the other, or Platte route,
Colorado is no touch -d and beyond the
S"t lements of ranch.io-n on the P.'atie
the route is, comparatively speaking,
"an unpeopled wilderness."
We hr-pe the memorial of the Leg
idature of Colorado will meet with
proper consideration from Congress,
and we hope too that ihe prayer may
not be granted literal V, but lhat a
eomprunise may be (i'ected by which
the route up the Republican Valley
will be selected as the middle ground
on which ail conten ii-ij interests may

as to insure justice to nil panies.
