The Lnst Argument.

On Monday next, the voters oil thlS
county will be called upon 10 say, wheth-
er they wish Rail Road to carry of their
produce or not. To all those having a
surplus of Wheat, Corn, Pork, &C., it is
of the utmost Importance, that they come
to right decision in the matter. Ifthey
understand it properly. we have no fears
for the result.
Various objections have been made
some aimed against the Road itself, some
against the route and snme against the
county subscription, Many false state
ments have also been made and have
been used to some extent among those,
"who do not take the papers" 1t has
been said, for instance, that this $4,000
is donation to the company, when in
fact it is nothing more than loan and at
the most all the tax that is paid for the
road by the county is merely the interest
on this sum for two or three years. Even
this has not been paid in some counties
since the premium upon the stock more
than balances it. Many individuals say
that they are willing that Company
should construct the Road, but that they
will neither subscribe nor vote county
subscription. Yet they are anxious TO
see the Road and after others have built
it, are perfectly willing to join with them
in reaping the benefits.
Others object to the route; but we 10
not think that they properly understand
why it was selected. Should we 60 TO
Newark, everything would have 10 be
re-shipped there. The cars upon our
track could not run upon theirs, from the
simple fact that under the law we can
not make the track wide enough.
Others object to the time. They say
it is too soon. How too soon2 Make
the Road and in three years the whole
E. expense of constructing it will be made
up by the increased value of the produce
, of the county, not to say anything of the
rise in Real Estate aud the impetus that
will be given to all kinds ofbusiness.
But it is too soon, because the grea
Central route will not be finished as soor
as ours. Granted but why wait for it
1t may never 5e finished. There an,
other outlets Tho Road from Colum
bus to Cleveland will be done as soon a
ours. About the same time, Cevelan
and Buffalo will he connected, so that W
h will have continuous route to the grea
l. Commercial Emporium ofAmenca in a
bout three years, Then why wait te
" years or even FIVE for a communicate

and Rail Road, the cheapest, safest, an
IF speediest mode of transportation.

The Freedom Of Speech and the
Press.

We Gull the following from Blackwood's Maya
zine, one of the high Tory Journals of the Brit
ish Empire:
ibid Premier illuminate his DICTUM 10 The
effect hatno Jonrnaha had right 10 find tauh
trith his measures, he wOWid raise pretty set Of
hornets about his ears"
This is what Tory writer, in England, de-
clares concerning the Freedom Of the Press +.
ven there it seems that the party, who claim the
highest prerogatives for the Government and al
low the fewest privileges to the subject, dare not
avow the sentiments which Mr.. Polk and his
minions have declared to the world, ,---"that the
citizens of this Republic have no right to inquire
into certain measure of his Administration, that
if they do SO, they do it at their own hazard and
should be declared TRAITORS" at home who afford
"aid and comfort to the enemy"
The freedom of speech and ofthe press is de
cared to be the unalienabe righto an American
rreemen, guaranteed to him in the bill of rights;
and yet the party now in power would rob hin
of this an act that would, in England, raise "hor
nests nest" about the ears of her MajeSty's Gov
ernment. Give the Presidento of the United States
the prerogative asked for him and where woult
| be the liberty of the American citlzenl"

Mr. Moses Y. Beach has retired from the "New York
Sum- leaving the helm in the hands of his two sons, Mo-

very hospitable and magnificent dinner given at his
own residence to his brethren OF the press Toasts
speeches, music, and the generous wnes animated the
scene. "Among the speakers the veteran Major
Noah Messrs. Greeley, Brooks, &C." The New York
Journal of Commerce says:
"There has been instance in this country,

credit, it having then but just risen. From that
nsn, ahead with astonishing rapdi,y and he
etrcs with Independent fortune, leaving his

We had the honor of invitation to this Attic Supper;
and though could have wished TO accept it, yet the
ates forbade it. If we had enjoyed the honor of seat
at that festive board, we should have called upon Mr.
Beach to explain the secret of his success, for it
is great mystery to how these splendid fortunes
rapidly accumulated by the magic of the press. We
have been three times long at the business Mr..
Beach, and undertake 10 say that each year have la
bored three times harder an yet with it is the chase

brethren the solution OF the problem!
