We direct the attention Of our readers 10
! communication 10 ioday's Papct from .
Linn County correspondent on the above
subject, We have seen and read Col. Nor
gans letter, The proceedings Of the .Bar.
lington Pub.ic" Meeting, and the editorial
rsmarks Of the dialogue Herald, over
Mosgan's letter, and We we're no less sur
prissd than our correspondent, At the course
pursued BY the Herald.
When the frieods Of the dialogue and
Keokuk, and Davenport and Council Dlufs
Railroad 6rst started tho projects, there
wss 10 open opposition from any quarter,
but just % soan a. the matter was present.
Cd Congress 10 a tangible shape, backed
BY memorials from The General Assembly,
there arose general hostility from every
quarter not directly interested in the
Roeds; and Burlington was lavish Of her
abnse Of those who had the temerily TO ask
Congress for gran, Of lands ia sid Of the
work.
Wehave scohjection to Burlington build
ing q many Railroads ~ she plsases, bu'
when she strives 10 do il al The expense Of
defeating the Two FIRST undertakings Of the
kind IN Iowa; the only two indeed that have
been sanctioned by the people Of the State
through their Representatives; the onl,
two respecting which our Delegation 10
Congress have ever been instructed; and
in favor of which they have, limo and
again, individually and collectively pledged
themselves; we must protest against The
policy, and insist that our Delegation in
Congress acs 10 good faith, regardless Of o
pop gun var on our roads from any quar-
ter.
We can assure our Linn county friends
that Davenport, and the friends Of the Day.
export and Council Bluffs Road, arc just
where the always have been, firm and uni
ted with the friends Of the Dubuque and
Keokok Road, and no moonshine project
can be held out to Us that will swerye US
from our course.
The friends Of the two Roads have stood
side BY side 10 many 4 contest with those
whose whole aim was our defeat, and now
that We are about 10 realize what We have
% long been asking for, il would be base
in Us to cut loose from those who have ever
proved true 10 Us.
Judge Grant after his return from Chi
csgo, will immediately start for Wash.
ineton, to take The "bull by the horns"
and sny lodging among our Delegation
will meet with promp, exposition ;. his
hands.
We will add for the qualification OF our
friends every where, that private adyices
from Washington assure Us that we may
reasonably expect the grants during the
present session Of Congress.
