o%We have received the memorial
of the Directors OF the Iron Railroad
Company to The Legislature. They
demonstrate against the transfer Of
the Jackson county subscription from
the Iron road, TO the Scioto and
Hooking Valley road. But should
the Legislature see fit to alter or re-
peal the law, they ask what appears
to US reasonable and proper, that
the Scioio and Hooking Valley Com
pany shall construct their track the
width provided for in the general
laws OF the State, and that the Iron
company may use that part OF the
Scioto and Hooking Valley road
which may be consti ucted between
the point OF junction of the two
roads, and the intersection Of the
Belpre and Cincinnati road.
The width Of track Of the two
roads is not the same; the Scioto
company intending TO lay a wider
one than the Iron company had com.
menced with. We think the request
Of The memorial ought 10 be granted
if the Legislature thinks proper tc
allow Jackson county TO transfer
her subscription to the other road.

Last week we announced the de-
feat, in the Convention, Of HumPh-
reyville's amendment, providing that
the Legislature shall have power TO
repeal or revoke any charter OF incor-
poration now or hereafter granted.
&c. The following Democrats vo-
ted with the Whighs in the negative:
Archbold, Case Of Licking, Case OF
Hooking, Grosbeck, Hawkins, John
son, Kennon, Swan, Thompson,
Vance, and Warren. We give these
names to indicate the character OF
the Democrats that have called down
upon themselves the particular indig-
nation OF the Statesman, Cincinnati
Enquirer, and the small fry locofoco
papers. whose Office il is to prolong
the notes OF wailing and threatening
of their superiors.
Hear the Enquirer:
There was a proposition which,
in our opinion, lies at the foundation
OF popular sovereignty voted down
By a Convention protesting to be
Democraticl God help such Dem
ocracy.'
The Salesman talks thus;
I'VE hope-we trust-we. conjure
the democrats to remember that they
are democrats and that they will be
held responsible for the doings OF the
Convention.
Since the vote on Repeal, we con-
fess we have some misgivings as TO
the future, but by no means are we
discouraged. We still have conf
dence that a section Of the kind will
be adopted. We must have some
thing to guard the public against
vicious legislation--something TO pro-
tect the earnings Of labor from the
grasp Of privilege and capital. Can
it not be done BY democratic votesp
The editor of the Enquirer, after
listening 10 Judge Kennon, decidedly
the ablest Democrat in the Conven.
tion,) on this question Of introducing
radicalism into the Constitution,
went and wrote the following:
we heard Judge Kennon in the
Convention yesterday afternoon,
and are compelled to say, that the
Wings even are in advance Of him
in true political progress. He is now
where the Wings were ten years
ago. Indeed. take him all in all, he
Is a capital representative Of stand

necessary to offer any opposition to
