reason TO believe they will receive, their cordial
support. They are pledged TO sale of the pub

departments of our State affairs. The issue is
fairly presented, aud the people are to decide

tary TO that CITY, and in the latter by the mining
companies and those interested in the mining Sec
tons 10 which the roads are devoicd. In neither
case do the roads possess much general interes: n
the people of the State. They are o1cned by the
uery mentor whose benefit they are constructed.
Now look at the other side. The public
works OF Michigan are to command the immense
and decreasing trade aud travel Of the West which
must otherwise pass around the Stale by tedious
aud dangerous navigation. They will command
1t despite all efforts TO the contrary. But this is
not all, they must be the outlets to the produce of
the Stale Of M ichigap. This, they are to great
extent now. Look then, and see how they Can
effect the price Of this produce. When wheat is
9aeted at 20 cents at Detroit it is not to exceed
So or 6Oc;s at Jackson. Surprising the roads in
the hands of company, how could they make
money faster than by buying in, by their agents
the produce of The Farmers of Jackson, and trans
porting tito eastern markets on their own account?
This difference in the price of wheat is made
by the charges on the Rail road company own
ing it then could make the difference still greater
by increasing the rate of charge. Is j; said let
tine rate of charge be fixed by law +? At the best
the State could not havethe "brass" 20 Tx the rate
below that al which il has once corn out the roads,
But even with the most rigid restricion,they could
not be compelled 10 carry freight against their

could do would be to neglect the freight OF other
shippers, and serve themselves by sending their
own. The aggrieved Inhabitants OF the interior
cannot then seek relief by transporting in wagons
to the Southern road, for that will be but another
Of the mighty monsters tolls, nor by the Toledo
road for that is already in tho hands of those who
wait only the opportunity which the sale of our
works will afford them, to play the same game.
Before any comparisons are made, lie; Us find
some road commanding at least the commerce of
the whole State owned by The people of another,
no, of another State, but of distant city.
| We in for farmers this year and we appeal
to the common sense of farmers; if you had but

away the produce Of your farm, would il be safe
to sell that road to the mar TO whom you wish 10
sell your produce. Might he not either erect a toll
gate and charge you all your produce was worth
for passing over The road u Or might he not re-
fuse to let you pass until you had sold him your
produce at such price as he pleased 10 give. If
you owned the whole state of Michigan, and de-.
pended on the markets Of Boston and New York
would you not like 10 have control OF the roads by
which those markets are to be reached at least as

Mr. EDITOR
The reason why the steam cutter Spencer was
at during the late, was, that her compasses
would not traverse, and che was unavoidably de-
tanned to adjust them, and has now gone out wholly
u0prepared on this point. During her late cruise
she encountered very heavy weather ard came
near being wrecked, in consequence OF her compass
being thrown out, by the attraction OF iron about
it. They were obliged TO run by guess and judy
ment.
The activity Of Captain Hunter and his officers
in the Ewing, last winter is pretty. good evidence
that the Spencer would have " taken IT." as the
stace above named. Your knowledge of going to
sea must have convinced you that good and true
compass is a necessary article in the dark and
thick weather. A SUBSCRIBER.
