That Rail Road.

We understand thai the ciIizens Of this coun.
~ have had in contemplation, FOR some time
mast. the construction Of Rail Road from Car.
roll,on 10 the Canal, and that on effort to raise
the necessary amount Of stock failed on account
OF some disagreement among those directly in
teresIed. The distance 10 the Canal is said 10
be about ten miles, aud the rout, in every re.
spect, a favorable one. This being the case
the cost of constructing the toad would be, COM
para,ively, small, and we should think the ne
cessary amount Of capital required to construct
il might be, easily, Obtained, if a proper effort
were made.
Located as this county is The advantages to be
derived from such an improvement are incalcu-
liable. An improvement Of The kind would,
doubtless, increase the value Of real estate
throughout the county from 20 TO 80 per cent,
and in this place and tho vicinity it would al
leas, double its value. Il would be the means
of building up aourishng town and would
bring among us capitalists from other sections Oi
the country, and the farmers of Carroll would
find a market for their wheat and other surplus
produce in their own county. We believe that
capital invested in the construction Of this road
would 6e profiably invested. If this be true
the matter is certainly worthy the consideration
Of the citizens of this county.
Citizens of CarroIlton, you should feel deer
interest in an Improvement Of this kind. Un.
less some such Improvement is undertaken and
carried out your Town must ever remain an
unimporant one.-Make this improvement anC
you will thereby double the value Of real prop
erly, and Carrolton would in a few years be-
come aourishing town. lf you have not suf
fcient capital at home to construct it seek for i
abroad-resolve that the road shall be made
and YOU will succeed. road has been com
menced from Sharon 10 the Muskingum river ii
Morgan county. The distance is nearly double
the distance from this place TO the canal, anc
there is as much wealth here as there. Tha
road will, doublkss, be constructed, and all thu
is needed to enable us 10 succeed, here, is a Par
RIsH.
We hope that some citizen who has though
upon this subject and understands it better thai
We do, will hold il up before the people, lhroug
the columns Of the Free Press, until they ar
convinced of its imPortacce. Let this be don
and the road will be made; for, we are conf
dent the means to construct it could be comman
ded if the people were convinced of its impor

New Constitution,
tance.

Under the Constitution adopted by our faith.
ers, Ohio has rapidly advanced in wealth and
population. Still, we believe that experience
has shown il TO be defective IN many respects.
We are glad, therefore, that The question Of re-
modelling it has been submitted to The people, by
the Legislature, and trust that it will be investi.
gated by them, and that they will be prepared to
act understundingly, when The time for action
comes.
The passage of the joint resolution, inrodu'
ced by Gen. Goddard, authorizing the people to
vote yea or nay on the question of calling con-
veution seems TO meet with favcr from all par
ties, AMI we presume majority of the people
will be found in favor Of the measure. Wheh-
er the Convention after it is convened, will sue.
ceed in framing Constitution that will be adop-
ted by the people is, however, extremely doubt.
full. While all will, readily, admit tha, our
Constitution needs amending, many fear that
twill be worsted in the attempt to better it, and
have, therefore, doubted the policy Of calling a
NouNShHou iot hhoI Pu'POS0' W. uuHlh Inu'
there are grounds for such lears yet we are in
favor Of calling Convention and, as one ofthe
people, shall so vote.
The Cincinnati Gazette speaking of the &C.
tOn Of The Legislature on the joint resolution
passed BY that body says:
"We rejoice at this result, and also at the u
nanimity by which the resolution was adopted
there being but six votes in opposition in both
branches of the Legislature.
The gross ouIrages which have been perpet
rated the past winter, in legislative appointments
the reckless and fraudulent violation of The
popular will, and the degrading and dsgracelu
rafickng with the high judicial and civil off
GERS Of The Slnte, have caused the yeomanry o
the commonwealth to demand change, where
by these responsible officers shall be elected di
recty by the people. The high trust which ha
been delegated, by the Constitution, to the Leg
islature, having been most conupty and bold.
disregarded and abused, this trust should be with
drawn, revoked, "expunged"-and the peop
make their elections themselves, rather than b
attorneys.
In the State Of New York, under her ne,
Constitution, the people elect all their Civil Ju
diciaI and financial officers, and the 'experimen
has no, simply succeeded, but its pracIicabili,
and beneficial results are universally acknowI
edged.
Let us follow her example-let the freeme
of Ohio act for themselves, and not by anorr
ey, and never again will the power and patror
age Of the State become articles of "bargain an
sale," and the distribution thereof subjected

MAKING 1T THE lssUE.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Post says that
when the Cabinet nominations were under dis
cussion, in the Executive Session Of the Senate
Mr.. Wesicou of Fla, objected to Mr.. Collamer,
because he was 'tainted with aboitonism." Az
Ter The objection had been debaledat some length
Mr.. Seward Of New York rose and remarked
that he himself represented the most radical o.
pinions uponSIaverv that were held by any con.
siderable body of the people Of the North; and
thai he supposed that Mr.. Collamer would sub
stantially agree with him. With respect to the
objection made 10 this nomination, it was time
there should be an understanding. He would
therefore simply defy them to make this issue
