AwAkE.-Our respected contemporary across

~ relative to Railroad action; "Peopie 81 Rock

our Corporation Officers have concluded to
put down $4,000 Tor the same purpose -
Not content with all this, some OF our citi-
zens are actually clamorous that the res
pectiye amounts be doubled. Why, our
Corporation subscribed 500 last week to
pay Mr.. Fulton for running along the res-
aern line Of Railroad and inlusing portion
Of his spirit into all the people along that
route. Judge Grant, at the same time,
with untiring energy and spirit that sleeps
not, has passed through Rock Island on his
route to addressthe people along The whole
line of the eastern Raad to the sleepy town
Of Peru itself and arouse them like "rat-
Ting peal Of thunder" to knowledge and
an appreciation Of their own interests
When these, our Delegates, return-tor we
wish YOU TO remember Mr.. Fulton took the
subscription paper Of the Rock Island and

to have nearly enough stock subscribed to

Of constructing Rniroad from Davenport

preamble and resolutions adopted on the
occason:-
U1ereas, Our State will in a short time be
reached BY continuous chains OF railroads uniting
the eastern part Of Iowa with the Atlantic sea-
board and whereas these roads will avail our slate
comparatively little unless they are continued
through its interior and whereas, these roads VIII
all become tributary 10 the great trunk III COM
pletion to the Pacific which route we conceive
nature has opened up through the heart Of our
own productive State, with fewer lmpediments
than upon ony other route, and whereas, we are
confident that the erection Of such road through
the ale would soon add thousands to her pop.
ulation, and millions 10 her wealth, BY furnishing
easy transportation and sure market for her sur
plus productions. Therefore
Resolrra, That we recommend 10 our fellow
citizens throughout the State to petition the
General Government lor grant Of land for the
purpose ofconslIuc'ing a railway across the State
from Davenport 10 Council Bluffs, via Iowa City
and II. Des Moines.
Resoled, That the interests Of Iowa, as State,
require The speedy construction Of roads into The
interior, which only be built by the assistance
of appropriations from The general government
Eesolrea, That the general government would
soon receive an equivalent for such appropriation
from The ready sale OF lands which would other
wise remain Tor years ni.sod and unsettled
Reso! c9, That in asking Congress Tor appro.
pria,ions 10 build road IRON Dubuque to Keokuk,
aud another from Davenport tothe Missouri river,
Iowa is asking no more than has been granted
10 other States for similar improvements.
Resoffe1. That we look upon the contemplated
Railroad from The Mississippi 10 The Missouri, as
a work, not only vital interest 10 our own State,
but as work OF great national importance u
will terminate a'the most probable commence
ment Of the great Pacific railroad, and thus be-
come link in the great tho.oughare which Is to
put ,he Atlantic ssaboard in communication with
The Pacifc. thus dver,ing large proportion oil
the commerce Of the world 10 more easy and
natural channel.
Resoired, That we acknowledge our obligation
10 our Iowa City friends for the very prompt
manner in which they have responded TO the cal!
for this convention.
Re:oiei, That every man in the upper Des-
Mones Republic, be requested to circulate petit
tons and memorials for the above mentioned

TEMPERANCE.

Fellow citizen, Prof. Z. Ripley, gave a
Temperance discourse upon Wednesday
evening Of last week. i was mainly re-
cital of his observation Of the traffic in the
devils own in a small town in this State,
but told in his off.hand aud quaint style, II
became quite interesting. Instead Of arous-
ing spirit Of revenge in the breasts Of H.
quor sellers, It was calculnted to induce
them to renounce all such bad spirits-in-
Guiding those in which they traffic.
