Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1854-07-20


inst, a large number of the sovereign peo-
pie Of this county met at Bee Branch Town
ship, pursuant to previous notice, for
Rail Road meeting and also to listen 10 the
political candidates who are now canvassing
the county.
The Rail Road meeting was the first on
docket, and passed off with much satislac-
tion to large number of attentive listeners
who seemed anxious to learn and understand
the benefit of such kind Of internal improve
ments.
At the close of the Railroad meeting, the
entire company enjoyed an excellent barbc-
cue dinner, which was prepared by the lib
eraI citizens of the township.
After dinner Judge Frcdrick Rowland
'ther djmmircratic nominee" for the ninth
Senatorial district, in this State. was called
on for speech. He occupied the stand
about an hour. The principal topic he had
TO speak about, was that he wished to sub-
Stantia'e the fact that he is a farmer and that
no one else would do 10 trust to legislate
for farmers but himself, and he thought he
n1ough suit them, for he was q Gtucral
Jochsjn dimmjrcrat, and as lie was tier DIM
mjrCrdtic nOminee without wishing for the
office, he would like dimmircra'ic votes to
elect him. He would trust to their patriot
ism for this. Just before closing his re-
marks he was asked, II elected, il lie would
vote for the loan of the State credit to the
amount of three millions Of dollars TO assist
in building the Weston and 81. Louis Rail
Road?
This was a poser. He twisted about,
drank water, &c, SO as togve time to frame
an answer for siich an impudent question:
He said he considered the "Wcston and ST,
Louis Rail Road q main Road, and as he
was an internal Improvement man, he would
do So;-and afterwards TO leave a small gap.
he puts in this answer a small prov<o. in
order 10 pu!I wool over the eyes Of our Char
ion voters, SO as f. make them his Gupcs.
He has fairly caught himself. IN his spec
chrs in Linn County, he was down on the
recharter of the Bank, and also against fur
ther ioaning the credit of the State for inter-
nal improvements until the works were fin
ished that have been commenced These
speeches We're made in a county where the
State credit had been given, and as they
were well fixed, that was the string to play
on there;-but al a Rail Road meeting in
Charlton County, he tacks about and SAYS
if the question comes up sing'y he would
vote for three millions Of the State credit 10
help us Charlton folks build ortr road. We
do not expect 10 want over one million of
the State credit, and as Rowland seems onx-
ious to he elected, there i no doubt he will
promise to vote, TO Loan at least ten millions
of dollars if he is asked to do so.-and up
in Linn and Macon counties. he will tell
them he wont vote for a cents worth Of cred.
il. Fe IS a perfect old weather cock in
changing his positions.
VIM, f. Moberly, E,q, answered the
Judges speech, and proved that sine, he
(Rowland) had opened the canvass, that in
different counties he assumes different po-
sitons. Mr. NJ. knocked more Of Rowe

could have been expected in so short time
"Old fogyi<n" cant stand the charges Of
Young America" as Moherly proved
himself 10 be. We think il a fortunate cir
cumstance to have Mr.. Moberly candidate
to oppose such voscilatrg man as Row.
