EKLY TIMES THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY 90 1853

On motion of Mr.. Smith, of Caldwell, the
Lexington and Davess County Railroad bill :
was taken up. t r'
Mr.. S. then entered into defence Of the
merits Of the bill. He spoke of the nature
and effect of the security the State had in
the various projects TO which she had al
ready loaned her credit, and appealed TO
the friends Of each of those improvements
TO know whether they did not consider the
security ample. He said he fully concur
red with them in such an opinion.
He then adverted TO the fact that this COM
pany intended to extend this road to the Iowa
line in direct course for Fort Des Moines,
the contemplated seat of government Of
Iowa. In this point of view, he argued that
this improvement would be q great advant-
age 10 the Hannibal and st. Joseph Railroad,
and TO the State at large. He then spoke of
the bill as being well guarded in its provis-
ions, so far as the security Of the State was
concerned. He said that he could show
from facts and figures, that this road would
be useful and profitable, but he was not
disposed any longer 10 consume the time of
the House, unless some opposition was
manifested to the bill, which he hoped
would not occur. .,
