OF MISSOURI:
Tic St. Louis Democrat, discussing the poll
" Of completing the Railroads Of Missouri By
Stale aid, says: |
t'The State Of Missouri dismcmbcred itself, |
Tue moment it erunted charter |
to tic Hannibal and ST. Joseph 1laiiroud Com !
obliieratcd the nntural boundary Of the State
the Mississippi riser-aud substituted an artiG-
ciai line, thereby dctaching wide and fertile |
tract Of territory from ITSELF and annexiug it to
tho opposite State Of illinois. We, pcrcLance,
may he rcconcIed 10 this violation Of the terri
torial iutc=rity-to this partition Of the State
by the certainty that tie cause Of free labor
must necessarily take deep root in the coded
province; but what consolation or compensa'
ton the National Democracy can derive from
tue result VIC are at loss 10 conjecture. ST.
Louis, broad in her sympathics as the State,
reFer bcsitatcd to gTnnt moral and material
support 10 the Hannibal and ST. Joseph Rail-
road. In return, The owners Of that road and
their satellites are making osteatatious ef-
forts to rob St. Louis Of aPortion Of her traf~
fic.''
4 writer in the ST. Louis Republican, with'a
great prodigality Of Italics capital letters and
exclamation points, adds lis testimony thus:

anti ,siasouri policy Of the Quincy and St. 10
seph road. as adopted by its Eastern and Chi
ing fair, Legitimate business, and making
1uoncy for this road, but TO injurc st. Louis u
fur as possible, aud prevent the legitimate trade
Of tile Missouri Kirer going to that point I
took occasion 10 sta1e that while The means to
build the road had been furnished BY the State
nre still liahe for these means, it is not only the
duty but the right Of the people Of al1 pnTts Of
tue State to look into its operations, aud cxnm-
inc into lis affairs, and thus prevent great
wrong to our State in general, and to ills com
xnercial metropolis, from which the State de-
r1rcs 50 large proportion Of ITS revenue.
Mr.. Editor, although some, for sinister pur-
poses, may occasionally decrr St. Louis, yet the
great heart Of the people Of Missouri will not
allow strangers to even make IN effort to rob
ST. Louis Of its glory without resistance. Our
people feel proud Of St. Louis-of its rising
freatness, OF lis soHu sroHtn. ol As increasing
