JOHN F. HENRY, M. d.
From the Iowa Stats Gazette
THE PLANK ROAD.

Your able editorial of last week in favor of
the Plank Road loan, has rendered great service
to the cause of the road. It is to be hoped that
no property holder viii withhold his vote in ia
vor Of the loan and surely all who are not prop
erty holders, but are in favor of giving universal
prosperity to every branch Of industry, will sup
port this measure.
A loan Of $4,000 for this road can never EN-
barrass the city, or increase taxation. The In
terest for the first year, will, perhaps, have to be
paid out of the revenue or in city bonds. After
the road is built its earnings will pay more than
the interest; and at the expiration of the loan
10 years-the stock owned by the city will un-
questionably be current par stock, and COM
mand in our own market the money to repay the
loan.
The project of such road is new to many Of
our citizens, who are able but not willing to bear
their share in the enterprise.
have received two letters from gentlemen
living in other States; but who are interested in
aproperty in this country. One, writing from
papers, the movement in regard to plank road
from Burlington to Mt Pleasant. Should it be
undertaken and pass near the present road be-
tween these points, l should not only be willing
to give the right of way, SO far am interested,
but would be willing to take some of the stock.''
The other gentleman, (who resides in Missis-
sipp, and never saw Iowa having been informed
says: "You speak Of plank roads. am glad
to know that they are about beginning such i'm
proyements in your State. They are emphatical-
ly the farmers road,' and in the section of the
State of New York where am acquainted, they
are very successful. If you sell the house and
receive the money as expected, you can, if you
please, invest that and any balance in your hands
in the stock of your proposed plank road, in my
name. may reach your place before the stock
is all taken if so will increase the amount as
l may have the means. If you will let these
roads stretch out from your city in all directions,
it will give great impulse to the business of the
place and Of consequence increase the value Of
real estate"
Another gentleman of st. Louis has offered to
subscribe $500, to the stock, if necessary.
Now can it be that our own city or citizens
will hold back in this matter?
If anything is to be done this year, the COM
pany should be organized and get the right Of soay
without delay. Let every citizen reflect serious
ly upon this matter and talk with his neighbors
about it before Monday next.

We think our cotemporary shows disposition TO
beg the question: at least TO anticipate the move
ments Of the Secretary OF the Home Department,
without sufficient grounds. We cannot see that
such bloody tragedy he anticipates Is At al FORE
shadowed in the mere calling for the names of the
Clerks, as Mr. EwIx0 has done. How could he 9TH
erwise ascertain the names OF the subordinates who
were to constitute this new Department. may
be that he intends to apply the rule, which all seem
willing to abide by, and If on examination, he dnds
any Of these clerks have employed their official In
Huence in eiectoneering for their late master, why
then it will be his duty to discharge them. We
doubt not there are many who held office under J.
X. POLK in this State, who tremble when memory
brings to mind the exertions and pilgrimages they
have made In attempting to perpetuate Polkery. 1t
is expected by all parties that such men will reap the
reward Of their doings. The single office holder
who has not in this State violated this Wing rule,
would be curiosity. We know of none. The To-
cos have relied on making capital out Of the reno
walls that are anticipated-thcy have almost prayed
for general sweep, as groundwork on which to
effect this. All, gentlemen, you may, try to pump
sympathy from the eyes Of the democratic masses,
but It will be in vain. Office seekers will doubtless
cry. All other eyes will be fearless. We believe
the Administration win apply the rule, and we shall
uphold them in their action.
