Ra.road Meeting in Monroe County.

| At large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Monroe county, in the town of Aberdeen, on Saturday, 3d of January, 1857, Washington Pecbes was called to the chair, and Dr. James F. Boren was appointed secre- tary.
 On motion, the chair appointed committee of three to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, and said committee con- posed of Col J. G. McGaughey, Major Will liam Meek, and J. F. Boren presented the fol- lowing resolutions, which, after the full e1- planation and dlscussion, were unanimously adopted.
 1 Resolred, That while a sufficient quantity of swamp land should be appropriated to complete the unfinished levees, it IS the sense of this meeting that the swamp lands, or alternate sec tons thereof, within fifteen mics on either side of the solvent railroad companies, should be vested as stock at far price. in such com panies. and the dividends thereon be set apart 1 for ever as a fund for maintaining and repair ing levees.
 Resol,.d That the Memphis and Little Rock railroad company should be held to astrlct con- pliance with it's contracts with the State, and should not be allowed an extension of time, and that an act should be passed by the present General Assembly, vesting in the He- lena company any forfeiture which may accrue to the State from said Memphis company un- der the act of 1855.
 ResolueI That the above resolutions be for warjed to the True Democrat for publication, and that our Senator and Representative be and they are hereby requested to support the policy therein set forth.

Swamp and OyerfOwed Jer1s.

The laws upon the swamp lands of the State, passed at the present session, will be found on the outside of this number of our paper Our columns are too much crowded to allow us to express fully our views upon them. They contain many wise and salutary provisions, and had they been passed five years before they were, the swamp land grant would have been one Of the most valuable over made to any State As 1t is however, the grant is still a magnificent one, and well worthy the superin- sending control of the Legislature.
 We believe most of the gaps upon the Mis- sissipPi and Arkansas rivers have been let to contractors. and, as the present laws will at once appreciate scrip, the contracts will be mostly finished in the next two years. If we are not mistaken, by enhancing the value of scrip the present action of the General Assem- ply will cause more work to be completed in the ensuing two years than has been done in any previous two. The adoption of the cas h system in dsposing of the lands and the build ing of levees, as far as it could be done, con- sstent with existing contracts, we believe was wise move. We are at all events willing to See it tested during the next two years. If it works well, as we believe it will, we wish it forever adhered to. At some future day, we will speak of these laws more fully.

The AdjOurumcni.

On Thursday evening, the 18th inst, at about 10 o'clock, the General Assembly terminated its session. It got through pretty well with all the business before it, previous to adjourn ing. It passed several wise and salutary laws, which will, in our judgment cause it long to be remembered by the citizens of the State, ss body of clear-sighted, patriotic men. On the whole, the General Assembly has done well | for the State
 | While on this subject it will be as well for us to direct the attention of the people to one im- portant point It is not our intention to ani- madvert upon the past, but to guard against the future. It has been too much the custom, heretofore, at every session of the General As sembly, for members to leave for home before the session closes. This is wrong-grievou.ly wrong. Within the last ten or twelve days of the session. the whole business is done-all the laws are passed. The first part of the session 1t is true is important as that is devoted to ma turing the business, but the final action is taken near the close. It is then that the peoples Ue Ol Hduu. LdWs Ol the most important character are to be enacted the peoples money is to be appropliated- and these are done just at the winding up of the session when there is barely quorum present.
 At all future elections, we trust the people will exact from their candidates for the legisla- ture, distinct and positive pledge to remain at their posts to the very last day. If they are not able, on account of their private interests, to give this pledge to the public service, they ought not to be elected. No man should seek position, the Hhos duties of which he Is not able to discharge. It is true that unforeseen occurrences may take place, sometimes that would compell members return home.- = Against such DO provision can be made, but a member should not hereafter be held excused who deserts his post upon any other than an extraordinary occasion.
 We make these remarks just now because 1t Is our determination, durin. the canvass be- fore the next general election, to impress this subject earnestly upon the people This cus- tom of members leaving before the adjourn ment, has become a srievous and crying evil, and ought and must be corrected

trAmong the many members of the General Assembly who labored faithfully and deserved ly during the session, Senator TRIMBLE of h. dependence county and Mr. BUNCH Represen- tative of Carroll county, chairman of the Sen ate and House committees on enrolled bills. might, with great propriety, be Inentioned.-
 Their labors, during the last few weeks of the session, were exceedingly onerous, as well as, in the highest degree, important That they were performed well and faithfully, during both day and night, every member of both bodies will bear cheerful witness Too much credit cannot be awarded to Messrs. TRIMBLE and | BUNCH for their services.

Swamp Land Laws Puhiished

We publish to-day the two laws upon the subject of the swamp and overhowed lands. passed at the present session of the General Assembly. They will be found on the title page of this issue. Instead of being headed Stoamp Land Laws," by some mistake they are published under the title of |" Cairo and Fulton Railroad Bill"
 These laws are very important 10 both swamp land scrip holders and to swamp land contrac- tors, and ought to be preserved by all such for constant reference. Their great importance is the cause of our anxiety to lay them so early, before the people.

 MR. EDIToR--I notice an article in vour last weeks issue wherein my name was made ra- ther free use of as giving some information re- lative to the proceedings of our present Le,is. lature; l cannot for the life of me account for the manner in which snch an item crept into print, unless perhaps unwarranted differences were drawn from a conversation held by me some days since with some gentlemen in my store; but if the author of that article had heard me through or represented all my remarks made at the time, l am confident he would not have used my name in connection with the decla- raeons made by him. I write this therefore to set myself right before the public fully satisfied that the article alluded to arose from a mistake Tn the understanding of the author. The pre- sent Legislature. l conceive, has passed many portant bills, calculated to rebound largely to It's credit hereafter and in justice to that body as we'll as to myself, who had the honor of be- ing an humble member thereof, I a,n proud to here endorse its acts as in the main in acc,r. dance with my own views of justice and econ omy and as especially necessary to the wants of our iourishins State.

Last week whilst we were abseut at Little Rock an article appeared under the editorial head of the Hempstead Democrat, comdemna- tory of the action of the Legislature on the one hand and approbatory of the course of Mr. Block on the other. We deem it an imperative duty weowe ourself as well as matter of sheer jus tice to the present able and efficient Legislature, 30 far ss our humble opinions are concerned, to protest against the views expressed in the article, and to emphatically disclaim having anything to do with its authorship. We never saw the article until 1t appeaerd in print, and we saw it then, only to condemn it. We are not respon- slbie for one of its sentences, lines, words or letters. It aliedges that the present Legislature mas expended some ten thousand dollars in changing names;;" which. allegation is grossly incorrect. It applauds Mir. Block-of this we will have nothing to say, only that whilst we are wiling to award due praise to MT. Block or any one else wherever he may deserve it. we can never consent to do so at the expense of the well earned reputation of the present Lesisla- ture.
