The Iowa transcript. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1858-1866, 1859-06-16

from papers in Maquokcta and Marion
relative to the election Of the new board
Of Directors Of the Air Line and the re
suits expected therefrom. The Marion
Heraldtalks 10 similar way. The Lyons
advocate has turned in favor Of the Air
Line. The other papers on the line
have not, up to this writing, come to
hand. But there is complete unanimi
ty Of opinion and 10 this con nection VIC |
may state that we have watched the course
OF the papers west Of Linn County, and,
except the Tama Transcript whose VIC
lent and reckless misstatements show it
to have been bought up by the Clinton
managers, We have not seen paper that
takes either side. They appear to have
stood uncommitted, watching the course
Of events. In this they have done as
would any sensible man. On oar action
will deperd their decision. Let US act
honestly and wisely. 1t is the only safe
plan.-Anansosa Eureka.
With less spirit Of talyying, than
IS shown IN the above article, We reply
to it, by asking the Eureka to point out
those "reckless misstatcments We
ask it to point out any, whether reckless
or not? Come now, Mr.. Eureka unless
you do SO We shall hold you to the wall
One Of the Marion papers have accused
us in connection with other Journals
west Of the Cedar River Of being "subsi.
died = the other accused Us Of being
bribcd' by those in the interest Of the
Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska Rail Road !;
and now the Eureka chews the same cud,
and spits it out in the form Of " bought
up by the Clinton managers.
When we took charge Of our Journal
VIC deemed it no part Of our duty to fal
sify, misrerresent, or exaggcrate facts
for the purpose Of misleading the pub
lie, and tickling the ears of few whom
chance or fortune might place above US
in wealth or power. Neither did we con.
slider ourselves at liberty, to ransack our
vocabulary, Of bitter adjcctives in order
to traduce brother editor or any one
else, for entertaining opinions not in
consonance with our own.
Such is our standard still. We con
slider that w owe our existc ace to the
public, and consequently are in duty
bound to watch over their interests to
apprise then, Of tho approach Of dan.
ger, and point out means Of escape; to
awakea them to all benefits and advsn.
tages which may be within their reach,
and furnish them with the current news
Of the day.
And if in the discharge Of these du-
ties, BY exposing the frauds and reckless
mismanagemeLt, treachery and rascality
Of one Of tho darling pets Of Anamosa,
whose existence in shape once assumed,
would be decided curse to the MAORI
~ Of tho citizens Of this county, We have
incurred tho wrath and displeasure Of the

Our influence is given 1T present to
the Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska Rail
Road, for the reason that ieofers as the

outlet; and more, that if built, it will

our county BY running through on.
Town whereas the Iowa Central started
upon the plan Of building its own towns
to the destruction Of those already in
existence, and had its route located just
far enough north Of as to effect that pur
pose if ever built through our county
upon the old alignment. If it should
ever be built there, not one dollar Of
county aid would ever be given it, and
not enough Of private aid to build one
half Of milo Of tho road for the reason
that far the greatest part Of our popala-
ton resides in the southern part Of our
county. - -
