pEMoCRATTc MEETING

Last Monday night the Democracy had a
sermon preached TO them by Jas. S. Green, an
exhortation followed from Col. Richmond, and
VIM. P. Harrison closed the meeting with a
benediction. At least these were the terms IA
cetiously given by the speakers themselves to
their several parts. Mr. Green, however, we
should judge from his misrepresentation, had
been called to preach by the rrOng authority.
For instance he had great deal to say about a
large appropriation to the Quarter Master Gene
rails Department, under Filmore's administers
tion--apparently quite oblivious of the fact that
the debts incurred during the Mexican War
had to be settled. He said good deal about
Cerwin acting as counsel, and being interested
in the Gardiner claim, and deciding on it, as
Secretary. Now it happens that Democratic
committee, appointed by the House, to invest
igate the matter, acquitted Mr.. Corwin of all
blame. They reported the claim fraudulent
but said there was no evidence that Mr.. Corwin
knew, or could reasonably be supposed to know
il to be 50; that he sold out his interest before
he became Secretary of the Treasury, and not
only refused to act any further as counsel but
even refused to consult with those employed to
prosecute the claim. Under these crcumstan
ces, Mr.. Green's charge must be branded as
slanderous.

RAILROAD MEETING,

The Messenger suggests that there be meet
ing Of our citizens this evening at the City Hall
for the purpose of appointing delegates to the
st. Charles and st. Louis Railroad Conventions.
The former is to be held on the 10th of this
month, to deliberate on the project of building
a railroad from st. Charles to the Northern
boundary of the State. Let delegates be ap-
pointed who are preparedt to attend the conven-
ton in spirit of liberaIity, and willing to 90
for that route which shall appear calculated to
benefit the largest number and greatest variety
OF interests, or which will accomplish the most
general public good. OF the two routes propo-
sed, let that be chosen which shall appear best
for Northern Missouri.
The St. Louis Convention, to be held next
Monday week, will have before it the same
subject, but on amore extended scale, and called
the Louisiana and Minnesota Railroad Conyen-
ton"
AT ooth these Conventions, we hope that sec
tlonal prejudice will be entirely thrown aside,
and that every member will be actuated by an
enlarged view of the true and permanent inter
ests Of Missouri and the West

Iowa and Wisconsin have large and growing
trade. The larger portion Of this has heretofore
been with Tire SeaihI but increasing facilities FOR
transportation North and East, together with the
impcdiments in the Rapids, threaten TO divert it
from its natural direction. A railroad running
through Northern Missouri, parallel with the
river, and penetrating Iowa through Kcokuk,
would avoid the difficulty in the Rapids; accom-
modate Northern Missouri, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin with choice Of markets; and would not be,
as the ST. Charles project il, liable TO the objec-
ton Of arousing the jealousy and opposition Of
Burlington, Keokuk, and those other most
populous portions Of Iowa lying on the
river bank. We presume that few now think
seriously of improving the Rapids by blowing
out the rocks. This would require years Of la
Dor and an outlay Of millions OF dollars. Yet
they are most serious commercial obstacle.--
Freight from St. Louis to Nauvoo is 10 cents a
hundred when boats can pass over the Rapids;
| it is 75 cents a hundred when they cannot. A
railroad is proposed around the Rapids, on the
lIllnes side. from Rockford down to Warsaw.
in Iowa for our Railroad.
The Sc. Louis people will favor a railroad
anywhere that will benefit them, iniure whom
else it may; and so it contribute 10 Che welfare
of ST. LOUIS, they would as soon see Rail
road built in Illinois as in Missouri--their pride
of State is swallowed up in their higher pride
of city. Hence, they literally proiTer aid to
the Rockford and Warsaw Railroad, while they
move heaven and earth to make St. Louis the
terminus Of the Hannibal and st. Joseph Rail
road. They would doubtless be glad 10 see
railroad built from their city, extending the
whole distance 10 the boundary line of Iowa.
but so il intersects the Hannibal and St. Joseph
Railroad, their present purpose will be accom-
plished, and they will allow the remainder Of
the project TO sumber awhile, 50 far as they are
concerned. II the back track should be the one
chosen, it is not probable that the road will be
built beyond the point Of intersection with the
Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad for good
many years to come-perhaps never. This is
BUR answer to the Bloomington Republicans ar
sument that the interior ought to be accommo-
lated with Railroads. In other words, counties
hove the line of the Hannibal and ST. Joseph
railroad, are not likely ever to be benefited by
he North Missouri Railroad, if built on the in
erior route; their most reliable dependence is

For the Journal.

FOr lle journal.
Mn. EDIroR: observe that your paper, and
the Messenger Of this city, have made a call up
on the citizens 10 hold meeting this evening,
TO appoint delegates 10 the St. Charles Conven-
ton. This Convention, you are aware, is to
promote the construction of road from St.
Louis, via. St. Charles, TO the northern bound
airy of this State; and thence, by the preten-
ltons of its st. Louis advocates, to Dubuque
and TO be baptised into the name and scheme Of
the great route from MINES ota to New Orleans.
Now, Independent of the "humbuggery" of
the scheme, you and the country ought to know
that, for two substantial reasons, this road, if
ever, cannot be built in the time Of the pres
ent generation. First, the stock of no such
road can be remunerative: for, as is well
known to the Pacific Railroad Company, no
crossing, by bridge, can ever be made over the
Missouri river, and this impediment will des-
troy the value Of its stock, by whomsoever Ia
ken. But, secondly, we may not expect anoth-
er grant Of lands to this State, for these purpo-
ses-and, with the present engagements of the
State, sOber-lnindei persons cannot, nor will
not involve it for any other improvements, I'M
til the experiment of the two roads, which she
is now aiding, shall be fully developed. o
But above al, can you not see that the project
Of the "North Missouri Road is got up and
intended, TO divert from, and subvert the Han
nibal and st. Joseph Railroad that it is
cub to the whale?" VIII you, voluntarily, |
nd parties in the humbuggery of impractiaaJle
schemes? surely not.
But sir, one Of the potent arguments for this
whitney scheme" is to enable the commerce

nrrY RAILROADS..

The Railroads which have been constructed
in New York city have not, as yet, relieved the
principal sireet---Broadway 1t Is almost inn
possible for pedestrians to cross Broadway be-
low the Park during any time OF the day be-
tween 7 A. NJ. and 9 P. NJ. Females are in dan
oer of losing their lives while crossing; they
have 10 run for life or DEATH II has been cal q
culated that 800 omnibuses pass single point
in Broadway every hour, or more than eight
every minute. II is easy 10 see from this that
il is almost impossible for persons to cross from
one side Of the street to the other. To relieve
The street il is proposed 10 build arailroad with
a triple track each feet wide, and 10 employ
100 ears, so as to despatch one every minute
each way, or 60 an hour; and it is said that
these cars will carry more passengers than all
the omnibuses. It is proposed to lay down
grooycd rail that will not interfere with carri-
ages. A single horse has drawn thirty tons at
the rate Of ga miles perhour on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and it is contended that the
great amount of load which horse can draw on
a railroad, in comparison with what 1t can draw
over our paved streets, should at once lead ev-
cry reasonable person to give his support TO the
railroad for passengers, In preference to the
omnibus.
On the other hand, the owners of property
assert mat q GallIOau Will luJuio VIC Ch"IdVleT
Of tic stIDvs c. Lae;nnre, -raA destroy il as a
public thoroughfare for promenade and pleasure.
Science, progress and reason, appear TO be on
the side of those who advocate the railroad. but
the only arguments which can safely be applied,
are those Of facts. If railroad is more danger.
Gus, does not look well TO the eye, (this is for
the taste of the promenaders) and is more in
convenient for private carriages so as to prevent
them passing through Broadway for business or
pleasure; in short, if the advantages of the rail.
road are less than the present omnibus system,
1t would be folly TO build one; here lies the gis
of the whole question. Every person can see
that some reform is required to remove the oh.
structiOn TO the free crossing Of the street; what
shall that reform be ? is the questions; the only
rational one is the railrOad.- Scientific Amer

NAIL ROBBERY.

: We yesterday met Capt. Carson, on the New
Lucy on his way to investigate case of mail
robbery. The robbery was committed by mail
rider near Fairfield Illinois, who took eli ht land
warrants and five hundred dollars in money
from the mail bags. The stolen property was
passed over to his three brothers, who sold one
of the land warrants at Mount Vernon, about
thirty miles distant, and the other at Piuokney-
vile. To prepare these warrants for sale, the
IObher must also have committed forgery.
-Four OF the warrants are located at Kaskaska.

At night, last Tuesday, apparently laboring
under the hallucipation that the Rails county
folks, by swelling the democratic vote of this
township to small majority, had elected Pierce,
the "unterrified" rolled out some tar barrels on
the Levee, and set the small boys to make a
great light TO attract an audience for Mr.. James
S. Green, who with face newly shaved and
washed, and hair slickly Oombed, harangued the
Democracy on their glorious elepen maj ,rity.-
There was such an uproar, however, from the
boys that nothing could be heard. After Mr..
Green, Mr.. Harrison talked as well as he could
for the noise and confusion.
