FOURTH DISTRICT!!

There will be Mass Meeting, composed of Lber-
ty men, and all those who are opposed to the Exten
sion of Slavery into territories now Free, whether
North or South, held at the Congregational Meeting
house, at PEACHAM CORNER, on WEDNESDAY,

the purpose of nominating Elecor for this district,
and the transaction of other business W'lmot PrOvi-
so Democrats, and Anti- Slavery WhgS, are especially
invited to attend and participate in the doings of the

when the people of the North should rally one man
around the standard of Liberty, and present un.
broken front to the slave ogarchy of the South,
solved to carry the battle of freedom to the last ditch
rather than yield to the unreasonable aggressive de-
mands of the slave power. 1t is for the purpose of
concentrating the anslavery strength of the fourth

hope that there will be such gathering has
been seen in this District. 037There will be speech

Party was organized, with a platform broad enough to
embrace the entire free States. On this they have
battled for the inaenable rights of man, life liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. We fear the result of
so many separate organizations as calculated to dis
tract the energies of Anti-Slavery men. I have no
doubt that the question of the Presidency will be set
tied satisfactorily But does seem that there should
not be another party so far as the State of Vermont is
concerned. Ispeak to wise men, Judge we what

Another plan NAV be adopted:


Suppose the land is acquired (for with
out this nothing, at present, can be done
in the premises); and this land given to
companies who will engage and bind
themselves to construct the road. One
company then files a bond in double the
amount Of the value, to complete the same
say in three years-through Dubuque
county, 26 miles; the subscribers to the
capital stock being the inhabitants Of the
county, the jobs are let. Each stockhold-
err takes an amount equal 10 his shares
The farmer grades with plough and scra-
per; the mills supply the lumber; the
carpenter frames the timber; the mason
erects the bridges and culverts. In fine,
the labor is supplied instead ofthe money.
Now, we have the road bed complete, and
the land besides, with which to secure
purchases of iron, locomotives and cars
Where, now, is the difficulty? Is not the
inducement of $4,000 per mile enough
10 enlist the energies Of our community
These suggestions are thrown out al
random as the conclusions OF my own
mind; they may be erroneous; if SO:

Editor OF inc Express.
SIR:-I have learned that a Railroad
has been commenced by Company a
Milwaukee, to intersect the Mississippi a
Potos.
1t is said that the grading has progress,
ed for some distance west, through the
swampy lands adjacent to the Lake shore
1t is used at present as a common road
but designed ultimately for Railway
The company have secured a liberal char.
ter from the proper authority, and with
public spirit deserving all praise, are
determined, in due time, to push forward
their enterprise. From Dubuque to a
point opposite the terminus of this road
at Wells Ferry, the distance is only nine
miles. The ground is exceedingly we'll
adapted for a Railroad being a level
way up the bottom lands bordering the
bluffs, with no considerable grades or
short curvltures. A connection with this
road, then, will be comparatively a slight
unde rtaklng; indeed Steam Ferry Boat
having Railroad track upon it, would
afford complete union of this with the
Dubuque and Keokuk line.
The same may be said with respect to
the Galena and Chicago railroad, now in
a rapid state Of progression. From Du-
bulue to Galena, the distance is about l3
miles. The road for railway will be
down the level bottoms Of the river, to the
mouth Of Comstock's creek thence up the
same to its extreme head, where it inter
locks ITS branches at deep depression in
the dividing ridge, with the ravines which
fall into Fevre River just below the city
OF Galena. The construction Of this por-
ton Of the railroad -from Galena TO the
Mississippi river-is favorable in the
highest degree; being for the most part
dead level, with only three considera bic
streams 20 cross, viz: the Little and Big
Menominee and the Sinsinawa, requiring
bridges of perhaps $50 feet span; or, the
connection may be formed by means of
Steam Ferry Boats, as in the other case.
These two lines west, from Lake Michi-
gan, converge to point at Dubuque.
It will be an important object for these
roads to unite with US; and thus secure
continuous way to Keokuk, the head of
certain navigation.
A single glance at the maps, will dis
cover the eligibility Of Dubuque as one
point on the great western railway. c.
dar Rapids, Racoon Fork Of the Des-
MONIES, and Council Bluffs on the Missou-
ri rivers, are in the line Of direct con,mu-
nication through the south pass Of the
Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast.
The former projected improvements,
however, will soon be completed to the
Mississippi. Let the energies Of our peo.
pie once be aroused, and union Of all
these important objects effected, and tho
work is accomplished.
The anticipated grants Of Land from
the general government, would 60 far 10.
wards completing the railroads ia ques-
ton. Let us see. The alternate sections
for five miles in breadth on each side Of
the routes, would give five sections per
mile; which, at the Congress price, would
yield in money, $4,000. This, on the
average in this prairie country, Is more
than sufficient TO make the entire road
beds for single track. Then the Iron
can, presume, be obtained on time. and
the payment amply secured by the road
