Ratlroad Meeting.

An adjourned meeting, called for the pur-
pose of appointing delegation TO Railroad
Convention at Iowa City, TO devise scheme
for obtaining State aid in behalf Of certain
Railroads in Iowa, was held in yerandah
Hall, Thursday evening. The matter was
discussed at great length, and at about eleven
O'Clock the question was put and the propo-
sition carried by vote of 81 in the afirma-
tive to Al in the negative.
Considering that two of the Railroads in
terested terminate at this place, and that
third one finds its Eastern outlet here, and
that the officers and employees Of oil three Of
them reside here, and have been actively en-
gagged in drumming up their friends to attend
this meeting, the vote cannot be considered
as particularly tlattering, or as very impor-
tans as an indication of the sentiment Of
city OF fifteen thousand inhabitants. And
when such meeting, on such vote, pre-
sumes to represent the sentiments of the en-
tire population of the Empire County, the
matter becomes simply ridiculous, IL not
worse.
As the delegates appointed by this meet
ing will 60 up to the State Convention as
the protested Representatives of Lee county,
we deem it due to the people Of the county
to protest against this assumption on the
part of these delegates in the name of the
people Of this county. And we declare that
there is an overwhelming majority OF the
people OF Lee County unalterably opposed
to an extra session of the Legislature, and
to the scheme recently preached by Plat
Smith Co., for issuing State Bonds in aid
OF the construction of Railroads in this State.
II ~ well known that the entire western half
OF the county, and several townships in the
north, are already in state of excitement
bordering upon rebellion against the tax on
the county subscriptions to Railroads. And
1t cannot be regarded in any other light thar
an insult and an outrage for gentlemen ap.
pointed by fifty or sixty voters OF Keok uk to
attempt to represent that portion Of the coun.
ty, in connecting scheme for the imposition
OF an additional tax upon them, not only
for building the roads for which they have
already been taxed against their will, bu,
also for half dozen other roads in which
they have not the remotest interest.
The gentlemen appointed as delegates may
represent themselves, and, If they have due
authority, can represent the railroads with
which they are connected, but we nrotos,
again, in behalf Of our city and our county,
against the attempt of these delegates 10
represent the county Of Lee.

OUR COUNTRY Wrong Country"
From the New York Sunday Atlas.
PRIDE AND PASSION,

"PrOud has been my fatal passion,
Proud my injured heart shall be-"
Not one trace Of fond emotion
Shall be cherished there for thee!
Once yielded blindly to thee
Bowed myself ct loves sweet shrine;
NOtC, delicious hate bear thee,
ScOrn and spurn the love once mine.
Love, like angel music, must be eternal
As the source from whence il flows:
Deep, intense in its devotion
As the heart from whence 1t goes;
But the sweet song once forgotten,
Never will be heard again,
Only rs q mOurnful spirit
Moaning in EOlian strain.
Rock in ocean groweth colder
When the sunlight bids adieu:
But It stands yet, firm and mighty,
Midst the play of waVelets blue.
So my heart when loves light fadeth-
Fadeth from it all away ~
Will grow chilly, oh, 40 chilly!
But beat firm as yesterday.
No: proud heart never breaketh,
Only bends the irOn chain
Bends beneath the crushing anguish,
Meth tOO great . weight Of pain.
Then the will, proud. stern and naughty,
Comes and cODquers all but life
Bids the surface sleep unruffled,
Whate'er the inward strife.
Like the star afar that shineth
Brightly in yOn ether blue,
shall dazzle with my brilliance,
Yet be diAtant from their view.
Yes, this daring thirst for power,
Silent purpose in my heart.
Neither love, nor hate, nor fearing
Fer shall quell, or bid depart.
Hearts with proud and naughty feeling
Shall before me pleading bow,
Not because ask the homage,
Nur vet court the loving show;
And I'll laugh at love they vainly
On an icy form beatOw-
Laugh be 'ause my proud neck bendeth-
Bendeth meath it's weight Of woe.
Those that know and love me truly,
Those l lave shalt pOndering hear
ln my heart the mighty current,
Watch the master passion there;
Wonder at my smile no icy,
At the words If bitter sCOrn,
When they deck the lips once loving,
Where warm smiles were always worn.
Mark. the tears are slowly falling,
V,r, bitter is the pain
will check them mot one pearl drop
Shall escape the fOunt again:
Aud when conscience, still, small WHISPER,
AsAeth why this is my will,
shall say, because loved thee,
And, oh G"d! do L0re the HtH!
