which Is completed iu Scott county. end
hes been in operation for several years
The very condition Of the vote proposed. is
to exte-.i the road from Iowa City to Grin
nell. T.. proposition makes the whole
vote void f7,are is. no dlviaib'lity Of the
question, submitted ty the County Judge,
and this brings me to NJ second objection
2nd The proposition is to tax stock in
three roads. by one vote, and thus induce
electors, who might favor one project and
oppose the others, TO vote for the whole,
though two-thirds Of them may be against
their judgement. Indeed it has been
avowed by its advocates, that no separate
proposition could be carried by vote Of
the people.
Sd. The poposal is violation of the spir-
it Of the Constitution, that prohibits coun-
ties and cities from going in debt. more than
five per cent. OF their State and County
valuation. The City Of Davenport is in
debt more than the Constitution permits
These Railroad subscriptions are really for
the benefit of Davenport; but to avoid the
Constitutional prohibition, you propose to
lug in Scott County. Davenport has seven
tenths of the taxable property Of Scott
county, and the effect of this vote will be
to increase seven tenths of $325 900, and
seven-tenths Of $4,000 of annual interest
tax. The citizens cannot pay their presnt
taxes. Reputation follows the success Of
this vote, and the building Of the roads
named as sure as night does the day.
4th. The only,,road that will receive any
benefit under the vote, will be the Missis-
sippi and Missouri Two of these roads
have no active organization the Cedar
Valley and LeClaire. They have no sur
veys, no reasonable estimates Of cost, no
subscriptions.
Who that is responsible will go security
for their completion? Ifany man with the
money ssys he will, let us have his bond re-
corded. The NJ. Il NJ. Road may give
bond; they may get the money, the others
cannot Now this is matter of business,
when you talk of going in debt Don't make
pretence of security. If the proposition be-
fore the people was to issue bonds when the
roads are finished, then could see a tangi-
ble thing. but as it now is, we shall 60 in
debt, on the faith off corporations secu-
rity which now has no existence, or
which is worth nothing. The NJ. 4 NJ,
railroad is already under bonds of the
most stringent sort, to finish 81 miles Of
road'n less time than proposed by this vote
and 80 miles each year after, for five years
See acts July l. 1856, page 4. The com
pany have 300 900 acres of land dependent
on performing that contract 1t is better
policy to make them fulfil contracts al
ready made, than to let them bleed us
more. G.

GREAT DEMOCRATIC GATHERI Nc IN
Rock IsLAND-Yesterday afternoon, a large
and highly respectable meeting Of the Ma
tional Democrats of Rock Island assembled
at the Court House in that city. The Court
room was crowed to suffocation, and in the
audience we observed many Of the slanch-
est democrats of the twin cities. When we
arrived at the meeting, the Hon. Thomas
Hoyne Of Chicago was speaking with his
accustomed force of argument, and elo-
quence of style. Mr.. Hoynes speech was
highly effective, and dealt heavy blows to
the opponents Of the Administration and the
Democratic party. 1t was heard with the
greatest attention, and only interrupted by
hearty and enthusiastic applause. Mr..
Hoyne's peroration, in which he portrayed
in glowing language the progress Of the
county under seventy years of Democratic
rule, and appealed to the Democrats pres
ent, if the party Of such glorious achieve
ments and hallowed associations, should be
abandoned and destroyed to crafty the
vaulting ambition Of one more man, was
the choicest burst of eloquence we have
heard during the campaign. When Mr.
Hoyns had concluded. Henry S. Fitch.
the pride and hope of the Young De-
mocracy of Illinois, took the floor, and for
more than an hour. enchained the attention
Of the meeting by one Of his inimitable de-
lneations Of the character of the great in
ventor of "the great principle which under
lies our free institutions" From Mr.. Fitch's
reputation. a speech Of no ordinary abil-
ty was expected, but never were expecta-
tions more fully realized. It is not too
much to say that Mr.. Fitch surpassed him
self, and cast into the shade his famous
speech at Chicago Round after round Of
the heartiest applause greeted each telling
wit at the lite giant, and testified thd pop
ular appreciation Of the wit, the sarcasm,
and the invective in which the address
abounded. Mr.. Fitch drew most ludicrous
picture OF Douglas. extending the aegis Of
his protection over the shades Of CLAY and
Webster, which brought down the house,
and shook the sides Of many an Old Line
Wing. The mantle OF John Randolph and
Tristan Burgess in descending upon Henry
S. Fitch, has fallen upon no unworthy shoul-
ders. At the conclusion Of Mr.. Fitchs speech
the meeting adjourned. In point Of num-
bers. responsibility and enthusiasm, the Ma
tionals Of Rock Island have reason to be
proud Of their gathering
