Our Western Railroad.

We are happy to learn that the prospects of our
Western Railroad continue to brighten. The
country Is coming up to the work, with ''mate-
rial aid, lin the way liberal stock subscriptions,
and we are told that the prospect is fair that the
necessary amount viii be taken. The citizens
of Walworth and MeHenry counties are taking
a deep interest in the success Of this road hav.
ing become fully convinced that Kenosha is, and
must be, their most convenient, as we'll as best
market. 1t is the natural outlet for their album
dant products, and the medium through which
they can most directly and cheaply receive their
supplies ofmerchandize, lumber, &c. We UNDER
stand that the President of the Road went on
tuesday last, to confer with citizens of McIIen-
ry Co., at Genoa, upon matters connected with
the road Meetings and consultations have been
held at different places in the southern part of
Walworth, and in MeHenry Comfy, all tendinn,
to the establishment of confdence and good feel
ing in and towards this enterprises. ruseg
We hope to sec a renewed rally of our farmers
towards filing up the subscription books at an
early day. sothat the road may be completed and
set to work at once. There should be no hesita-
ton or holding back on the part of any, for there
can no longer be an honest doubt of the benefit
all are to derive, from the completion of the en-
terprse, of its ultimate value, in and of itself
Since writing the above, we learn that the cit
liens of Genoa and Woodstock have raised the
necessary subscription TO secure the survey of a
line, running from the point where Kenosha &
Beloit Road crosses Fox River, direct to Genoa,
and thence to Woodstock. Chief Engineer No
BILE, with sufficient force, enters upon the sur
vey to-day. Mr.. Noble has already been over
the route, and found it to be remarkably feasible
with easy grading and no distractions Should
this route be determined upon, it is proposed to
run from Woodstock TO Marengo, point only
"a miles from this city, where junction with
the Galena a. Chicago Road may be made, put

The Rural Districts.

In Ohio, at the recent election, it was the rural
districts which saved the state. Such must be
the case in this state. The Republican cause has
here as elsewhere, little TO hope from the cities

VIII not our friends of the rural districts bear in
mind the responsibility which rests upon them.
II we could be assured, beyond pcradvontUre
that the voters of the rural districts would turn
out, we should have no fears but the Republican
cause would triumph in the state by over ten
thousand majority. But VIC know people are apt
to think-"I am but enc. my vote is Of no impor
lance, every thing viii go on just IS wcH with

box on the day OF election.
And let friends in each and every town whC
realize the Importance Of the occasion take soul

We honestly believe, that with perhaps one
exception, there is not man on the Republican
State Ticket, who is not better man, and bet
ter qualified for the duties of the place for which
he has been nominated, than on the Barstow tick
et This may sound like somewhat sweeping
assertion, but we candidly and honestly believe
it to be true one nevertheless. And the ex-
ception we do not wish to be understood as nd
admitting does exist, but simply that it may ex
list 1t is in the office of Comptroller. Mr.. Den
mis- who is on the Barstow tickeg, is admitted to
have proved himself good officer and to be an
unobjcctionable candidate. We have had moth
ing to do with his Office, and of course are with
out any experiences but snch appears to be the
popular impression, and doubtless 1t is true. We
VIII admit that Mr.. Dennis may be as good 9
Candidate as the nominee OF the Republican tick
ct, but we are not prepared to admit that he is
any better. Mr. WEST the Republican nominee
has been Senator from Green County for the
past two years, and we have had opportunity OF
seeing something of him and learning more. We
believe him TO be abundantly capable of filing
the place, in all respects in 4 satisfactory man
ner We are sure he has the honesty and the
capacity requisite for the place, and that the
State will suffer no damage whatever from the
change. Mr.. Dennis ought to and we presume
will get the whole vote of his party, but there is
no good reason why single Republican i'll the
state should prefer him to the nominee on his
ticket We hope to see AIr. West, poll as he
should, the whole Republican strength.

to notice that while Ross and kindred spirits are

~ MEW. A. ROWE, of Racine, took occasion

to PROFOUND certain heterogeneous to him, in
writing, touching his standing and views and
! purposes relative to Know-N othingism; request
ing thereto written reply. Mr.. Bashford die
not reply, whereupon Mr. II communicated his
letter and the facts to the Barstow organ at Ra.
cine, which gives them to the world with great
| flourish. Now, it strikes us Mr. Bashford, with
due respect to his own dignity, could have pur-
sued no other course toward Mr.. Rowe and his
letter than he did. The points in MI RS letter
! upon which he desired written reply from Mr.
Bashford We're all contained essentially in the
resolution against all secret societies adopted by
TIE republican convention, which resolution Mr.
Bashford openly ard publicly announced was il
harmony with his opinions and would govern his
conduct. Now how would it look for Mr.. Bash
ford after making this public proclamation in
the car of the whole state, TO be writing letters
to Tom, Dick, and Harry, TO convince them that
he had been telling the truth. Would Mr.. Rowe
be any more apt to believe him by his reiterating
what he had already stated and cannot any per-
son perceive that ii was not SO much information
Mr. II. desired, as to make capital out of the po-
sltion he knew Mr. Bashford or any other sensi-
bic man would take under the circumstances with
regard to his letter. Mr.. Rowe is Of course held
up as a Republican, but 10 one will need to be
told that he had fully made up his mind to go for
Barstow, and his move on this occasion was sim
ply in the hope to aid him. uFe
It's instructive to remark that this organ pub
fishes at the same time a letter from Barstow
which just exactly hits Mr. r. necessities Gov.
Barstow may feel it necessary to write such let
ters in his own case, but our candidate very pro-
perly feels that his position on the question is
not doubtful enough to require it. a

whole thing to be as we supposed, Barstow
