COUNTY RAILROAD SUBSCRIPTION.
We understand, that some Of our friends
who are warmly in favor Of this snbscrip
ton, entertain apprehensions, that the
county bonds may be disposed Of, at less
than their par value.
There is no foundation for this apprehen-
sion: A law has been passed by the Legs
la,ure Of Illinois. (nnder which the coan-
ties, on the line Of the Chicago and Galena
Railroad are proposing to subscribe,) by
which the Railroad Companies IN the State
Of Illinois are authorized to receive county
bonds, bearing six per cent interest at their
par value, in full payment OF their sub
scriptions to the road.
This law is general in its provisions, and
spplies 10 our Railroad Company.
There is still another reason why our
county subscription canno, be disposed oil
below its par value. Oar County Com
missioners stand pledged, as we are inform
ed, not to part with the bonds at less
than their par value.
Under this law, We perceive. that the
people OF 10 Davies county, having only
three times cur population and wealth pro-
pose to take tlro huadfcd and fifty thousand
dollars in the Chicago and Galena railroad
company as county subscription, jus, ten
times the amour, required Of US 10 insure
the success of our road.

The odium connected in the public mind
with the word tax is great absurdi,y, but
~e have been so taught. and it is our mis-
fortune TO have employed interested or s-
norant instructors. Does the farmer think
he is paying tax, when about purchasing
a wagon or plough? Is he paying fax,
in building house for the protection Of
himself and family? Does The mechanic
pay tax, when purchasing the tools for
carrying on his business, or the merchan,
in building warehouse or steamboat, or il
borrowing money to increase his traffic

mas UNION IN DANGER.

Although the Olive Beanch has been o.
fcred. we have cause tofear thatthc Union
is not safe. The elements Of commot'on
arc at work. There arc restless spirits
among Us who prefer the storms Of political
commotion to the mild and gentle breath
Of peace. They aro actively engaged ~
inlr, lucing new questions involving the
rights of tho States and Of the Federal Gov
crnmen,, and il is apparent that this once
happy aud united people arc again destined
to be distracted and divided BY their infiam-
mstory discussions. When every means
is employed to excite tho feelings and a.
rouse the very worst passions ofthc people,
we came, expect tranquility. lfthey are
received with favor, we sec no other resu's
than a dissolution Of the Union. II be-
comes then every friend Of the Federal
Government friend Of the Union OF
the S,a.es-every advocate Of the supre-
macy of the Constitution and the laws, to
stand forth and oppose every effort, having
a tendency to impair the bonds Of union
between the States, and TO resist every at
tempt to introduce in any shape the od'ous
and revolutionary doctrines of dlsunlon,
Unless the good sense Of the people shall
frown upon al! such attempts, our country
will present the melancholy spectacle Of
downright anarchy, in republic profess
ing to be governed by mild and equal laws.
We trust that the people, before they en-
brace these doctrines Of designating dem
agogucs, will maturely reflect upon their
nl,i,na,e tendency.
