article which has thus provoked his ire is
one we aimed at our neighbor the Demo

meet q synopsis ofthe proceedings OF Con-
gress on the subject of the. abolition petit
tons. It reads as follows:
"The resolution was passed by vote of
1872 to IA, Mr.. Claiborne voting in the af-
firmative, thus declaring to the people. of
Mississippi that he thinks it is right for
Congress to receive abolition petitions.
Now our opinion is that Congress does not
possess the power to abolish Slavery in the
District of Columbia, and, therefore do not
believe that Congress. has any right, even
10 receive any petitions or memorials rela-
ting thereto, but that as soon as the pur-
port of such petitions is understood. they
ought to be rejected. This is, or ought to be,
the belief of every southern man. Asto les

SOUTHERN RAIL ROAD.

Mr.. Bradford, not satisfied with the committee
on Internal improvements, to whom have been
referred the petitions and remonstrances in rela-
ton to tho location of the Southern Rail Road,
ON the Gath inst. moved in the Senate that a new
Joint committee of both houses be appointed, and
that the present committees BIO discharged, to the
end that the whole subject be referred to joint
select committee. The resolution, after creating
much excitement, was laid on the table.
On the Goth inst a resolution passed both
houses by which it is provided that the investi-
CATION of the conduct of the Commissioners of
Internal Improvement, and the propricty of re-
moving tho present location of the Railroad is to
b. referred to select joint committee OF both
Houses.
Much excitement prevails in the Legislature,
on the subject of Internal Improvements. 1t is
believed, and in fact there is but little doubt that
II is the object of the members representing the
counties through which the Central road passes
to join in with III, disaffected of the north and
south. to destroy the whole system. Indeed their
votes show it. On almost every question con-
cerning the Southern or Northern Railroads.,
those representatives, vote with the disa ffected
members of the north and south.

0 An abusive article appeared in the Detroit
Morning Post, on the 9th inst, on the subject
of the Report of the Commissioners Of Internal
Improvement, over the signature Of "ExPosE.'
We recognize, in the author, the self.same high
fanctionary, who has abused his constituents for
his own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Werecognize
in the author Of that abusiee article, the same
honorable gentleman ,oho OWNS SIX OR SEW
EN- HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND IN THE
VICINITY OF LOCKPORT, in this county,
and a heavy LANDED INTEREST at NILES,
in Bcrrisn County--and who, because the Board
of commissioners of Internal Improvement dared
to locate the Rail Road upon route which did
not suit his convenience and Immediately benefit
his property, (even when they gave as reasons,
that the cost Of construction upon that route,
uhrough Lockport, Cassopolis and Nes) would
be $ll7,70s more than upon the line they have
adopted,) is determined to break down the Inter
nal Improvement system. and the Southern Rail
Road, without it can be made to go by his Land
in this county and Niles; if he can raise influence
enough, by uniting, as he does at present, with
those who are known to be hostile to the construc
ton of southern rail road.
This same honorable gentleman has displayed
rccklessncss of feeling in regard to the inter.
ests Of his constituents than any person we have
ever before known, to be placed in legislative
hall, by the votes of free and enlightened people
We take the following extract from the com
munication
"Again the report states son the limo located
very excellent water power may be obtained al
Mottville." The author docs not say there is any
there now, and he never will say so with truth
If good water power may be obtained at Mott
vile, one can be obtained at any point on the riv
er. The author Of the report may rest assured
that the st. Joseph River runs by the villages o
Mottville and Bertrand, smoother and less broker
by rapids and other distractions than the rail roat
ever will. The people will make such mighty
rapids near those places, that the owners will fnC
il impracticable for them to get the southern raj
road there"
The honorable gentleman, not satisfied will
descending to this species of blackguardism a
gainst the different places along the southern raj
road, has uttered falsehoods in order TO injur
the character of the members of the board of Com
missioncrs, and create feeling in the Legislature
against their Report. 1t is known to us, and t.
every man in this country, that there is goo'
water power at Mottville-and what is said il
tho Rport upon that subject is correct.
We shall revert to the honorable gentleman
communication again.
