FShhiN1s mr. blooMeI introduced u se
Eriea Of resolutions, which be offered .
! an anendment Or d substitute, he di'
know which, for che resolutions repoE
ted By the Committee. After half 81
hours discussion, it was determine,
to receive Bloomer's resolutions as
substitute for those reported by Ia
Committee. Upon the question Of thsi
adoption, spirited debate arose. Som
Of the delegates were in favor Of grant
ing aid to the amount Of IS, 900, 900 O.
| $l2, 900, 000-others favored aiding al
the roads aos or hereafter projected Il
the amount Of 81, 600 per mile, and il
their enthusiasm dsclard that they die
not fear State debt Of $50 ,00O, 900, snt
would be in favor Of granting aid Il
that amount. Bloomer Was in favor Of
State aid, but thought the people were
not sufficiently aroused upon the sub
| jet, 30 risk an extra session Of the Leg
islaaage. Ault was Of the same opinion
and said the Press were against the pro-
jecs.
hr. Baldwin in his remarks in the af-
teinOon, said that the Press did not re-
feet the sentiments of the people. Mr..
Tes. declared that the Press was in IA
vor Of the project, bat tha Editors dare
not espouse the esuse-they were afraid
Of injuring their party, and he denoun-
eed politicians as towards andihypo-
crises, and declared that the question Of
State Aid vas above all political cor
siderations, and that he (being no poll
tician Of course) was willing to risk his
future prospects and aspirations upon it.
Mr.. 4Qlt called for the Ayes and Noes
upon theTesolqtiop requesting the Gov
eFnor 70 cali an extra session. This
presented q question to these valiant
patriots, that could not be lodged, and
finding thas they had to put themselves
upon the record, they took occasion as
/ their names vcre called to define their
position-lct of a little steam, aad give
/ the "a corrupt Press" Of tbs State Ats,
aud were in 40 wise sparing in their de-
nunciasions Of the NonpGTeiI and Bugls.
/ TAey declared that the citizens Of Coun-
Gil Bluffs was without an Orgau-that the
two presses dii not reflect the views Of
the people. In short, the editors we're
corrupt and cowardly politicians, who
dare not express the opinions secretly
held By themselves, and opcaly a7owed
By the honest ~ delegates in the Con-
yenEioa.

suned a right to Judge our motives and
Fass sentence upon Us, courtesy on our
