through the press, from the forum, and, We had
almost said, from the pulpit, in private and in

.nodvpe administered By FArnham to public
sDpjon in osksloOss, through leading citizens,
hss not effected the people At large 30 much a.
vas expected, il We are to judge BY the argu-
pents now presented through the press, from
which " infer that there lie . ground swell in
that reeisn Of county in favor Of the Burling-
sos Road We infer from the shallow argu-
ssnts and ridicaleus falsshoods put forth that
u 0skaloosa gentlemen who have invested ~
ID the Y. / N. road are alarmed and afraid
their stock wont pay.
We we're ted BY Mr. Fasaham's disinterested
nd sslfsacri6cine agents, the editors of the
Bsald and Timea that Aahaska county, BY q
ssaaimous vote, in large and enthusiastic pub.
u meeting, had instructed the County Judge |
b issue Bonds to the amount Of 100000 to
be y. N. This We supposed vas settler of
- whole matter, more especially as We we're
old that the County Judge hal or very soon
seuld issue the bonds.
Since that time several townships four GER
6nly, have repudiated This debt in advance. and
ech has been the outside pressure. the popular
exclamation of the proposed large subscrip.
doa, that the County Judge has not dared to
nse the bonds, and from the tone and charac-
Ter Of he articles in the papers, We irfer that
they are At ssa again upon the whole subject
Ia fact the County Judge has issued bis pro-
eanation for an election the fret Saturday in
April to decide whet her the County will re-
SEND lie former vote of subscription TO this
road
The argument nos used to convince the peo.
pk Of the advantages Of . connection via the
L. n. Road and the great bridge and the folly I
Of uniting with Burlington by a spifch are
among the curiosities Of literature and clear a.
prairie mud. In the opinion Of these learned
editors and their lucid correspondents it 10 bet.
t' for Nahasks county to pay two hundred
ssousand dollars for . connection with the N.
= l. road than to take one via Ottumwa and
burlington for nothing And this they not only b
as'sf, but prove. yea demonstrate. A CORES.
