A SLTGH1 LIBERTY TAKEN BY kEo-
Kux.-The Burlington Hawkeye says !:
Our impressions yesterday in regard
TO the mutilation OF the second resolu-
ton passed at the Oskaloosa Conven-
ton are confirmed. The Muscatine
Journal publishes it just as it passed
the Convention, viz:
Resolved, That we have full conf
dence in the good faith of the Keokuk,
Fit. DesMoines d. MINI. r. Il. Co., and
if it can show itself in condition to
build the road speedily, this Conven-
ton would recommend the extension
to said Company of such aid by coun-
ties and individuals AS will insure its
completion at the earliest practicable
day.
Ia this shape, it will be seen, the
resolution amounted to nothing-did
not answer the purpose. Therefore,
between the Secretary desk aud the
office Of the O>kaloosa Herald, or at
the Herald Office the words "good
faith of the" were stricken cut and
thus the most unqualified endorsement
of a bankrupt Railroad obtained by
fraud.
