table majority.
!, Those with whom We conversed upon the sub

OF that road be 40 desperate as you wish ours to be,
we need never fear that tremendous opposiuon
which our friends Of LIE Claire have asserted would
proceed from it's completion.
The above is taken from the last Davenport Ga
zette. We do not know with whom the editor
conversed, but we do know that he does injustice
to our Community in attribuing to them wish for
the failure of the "Rock Island and La Sale Rail-
road" We are anxious to get direct communica-
ton with the east vs Peoria. and we have not in
terfered in our anxiety in the prosecution Of any
other enterprise. Those most interested have
expressed willingness to cooperate with the
people of Illinois, in connection with our Plank
