which in reality was personal attack
upon the character of our most promi-
nent business men, and influential citi-
zens. What have you to say, ask, in
jusufcationl Did you expect to favor
the Rail road company by bringing the
character of these men into disrepute;
if you did you have most signally failed
b. over doing the work.
Envy and malice, are so apparent in
It's productions that it loses all its force.
Why, if he who drafted it, were called
upon to preside in trial Of manslaugh-
ter, he would hardly hesitate to admit
in evidence such a document to prove
malice atorethought. Was IT your in
tentlon to strike at foe? perhaps it was.
| have heard it said that it has been iusti-
fed by kind friends on account of some
Incorporate, or uncalled for remark from
one OF those you have stigmatized as
monopolists. If so, and you feel called
upon to strike, why, in the name of a
righteous cause, strike But strike like
man, and not coniound the innocent

memorial declared that a branch road

outlet to market at all seasons Of the
year, at least equal If not greater than
