Mr.. NorvelTs Resolutions. the pro.
ceedngs of the Senate of the United States
on the 2sth ul.. which we publish to-day,
it will be seen that Mr.. Norvel of this state
has introduced into that body series Of
important resolutions in regard to the re.
ception of petitions which relate to the reg
ulation of the slave trade between the states
and TO the abolition Of slavery in the Dis.
trict of Columbia The resolutions are
drawn with great skill and ability, and they
exhibit the powers and duties Of Congress
upon the subject which they refer to, in the
clearest and most forcible light, that they
have ever been presented TO the considera.
ton of Congress or the country.
Although Mr.. Norvel's resolutions pre-.
sent the question of the powers and duties
cfCongress with regard to the petitions re-
speeding slavery, in a new and strong att.
tude before the Senate, it will at the same
time be remarked, that they go no farther
than wha, both houses have heretofore
practically adopted. They only Gull upon
the Senate 10 assert and declare to the
worls the principles by which it has been
and will be guided indisposing of petitions
respecting slavery. The manner in which
both houses of Congress have heretofore
received and acted upon abolition petitions,
has been virtual adoption of the princi-
pies set forth in the resolutions. Some
times the petitioners are received and refer
red 10 committee, with instructions TO re-
port against the prayers of the petitions ;
At other times they have been received and
laid upon the table, without being read, re.
ferred, printed, or discussed. And how,
we would ask, does such disposition Of
petitions differ from refusal to receive
and entertain them, as provided for in Mr..
Norvell's resolutions? For ourselves we
can see no practical dfierence.-Detroil

Case County Meeting.-We publish to-day,
the proceedings of a meeting which was holden
on the 18th inst. at Edwardsburgh, Cass county,
the subject of the location of the southern
Rail Road. 1t appears that CAss County meet
ing had been holden in some portion Of the Coun-
ty. some weeks previous. and they have just re-
ceived the intelligence from Detroit. Tuis Sc
crecy and under handed work, on the part of the
enemies of the present location of the southern
Rail Road shows for itself that they are not act
ing openly and above-board, as honorable mon
should do. when engaged in good cause. Their
proceedings are not known to their own citizens.
We received letter from Detroit few days
since stating that similar meeting had been
holden in this county short time since.

CONSTANTINE REPUBLICAN.
WEDNESDAY. JANUARY a, 1858.

Southern Rail Road-A meeting has been
called, to be holden at CentrevilIe, the County
scat of this county, tomorrow, on the subject of
Internal Improvement, and the action of the pres
emit legislature, with regard to the present loca-
ton o: the Southern Rail Road. We hope the
meeting will be fully attended, as it will be ne
ceseary to look into the course pursued by Mr..
Bradford Of the Senate, upon that subject. He
is now opposing the best interests of st. Joseph
County, and of this district He has introduced
resolution in that body suspending all opera.
tons upon the southern Rail Road for an unlim-
tied period. We have too much respect for the
Justice of thu other members of the senate to sup
pose for moment that the resolution can pass.
Mr. Bradford knows very well that any new To-
cation that could be made for tho southern Rail
Road would create much greater dissatisfaction
than the present location. He must know too,
blow to the southern Rail Road. Mr.. Bradford
ought to be politely requested to advocate, and
not oppose the best interests of his constituents.
1t is notifying to the feelings of thsoe who were
foremost in placing him where he is, to perceive
that the trust conidsd in him should so soon be
betrayed. We did not suppose that Mr.. Brad
ford was elected for the particular benefit Of any
one town, but for the whole district. He should
recollect that his own town and his own county
gave heavy majority against him.
We believe there are but few individuals in
this county, who, however much they may have
/ L - Al. lzoa - a..
Rail Road, are now willing to see the work stop
and the Internal Improvement system broken
down.
In the House of Representatives, all the mem
bers of the middle tier of counties, who inter
ested in the construction of the Central Rail Road
vote for the suspension of operations upon the
northern and southern routes. This we are moi
surprized at, for they opposed. last winter. the
construction Of such works-but We must Say
we are surprised to see the members of the south
orn tier of counties joining with them. to the pre-
judice of their own constituents.
There has been concert of action on the par
of those who are opposed to the present location
Of the southern railroad. They have secret,
held meetings and called them county meetings
composed perhaps. of ten or twelve individuals
They have circulated petitions, both at the nortl
md south of the present location, for signatures
praying Notwithstanding the people at tn
same time. that if they succeed in raising tn
present location, it should be relocated to sui
th,ir interests better-which is an absurdity;-
no alteration can be made to better subserve tn
interests of both, the citizens of the north an,
the south of the present Location.
