rRIENn EDIT0R: I have observed an
article in the Democrat & Ne0s duplicating
another Coy pic in The heinous crime of
running IF negroes, and saying that his home
is a depot for new underground railroad,
and that the y, ung scamp is likely to be
are ted by Missouri authority, who no doubt
will bring him to &ustice. This is the i'm
port of malicious falsehood which no
doubt the editor would be glad was true. As
to my house being depot for the afflicted
and suffering. may inform him that We
have not altogether that honor, as there are
so many of the neighb rs who wish to par
{ cipate in the generous attention. That
have son who feels it his duty to assist the
noble image If God to a land Of liberty,
am happy to acknowledge. Viewing things
in this liz t, how would the sFathers Of In
dependence feel? How would they blush
for shame could their spirits rise amongst us
and see that the defenders of the cause
which they espoused and laid down their
lives for, have to take refuge under the very
government from which they emanated. |
may now inform this editor that | have
tire surviving sons. The eldest is in South
ern Jail. about to be offered up as willing
sacrifice to his county, not for the dark
crimes for which he has been condemned,
tfor defending the great cause of Freedom.
he second is in Queen VIc.'s dominions
(although falsely reported as having been
taken), ready to do anything for the great
Cau,c. The youngest is at home attending
school, except when the calls of humanity,
as before alluded to, claim his attention. !
do not believe in the principle of war, or
the taking of human life On any occasion
but nv Bible tells me o do unto others as L
would have them do unto me, and to undo
the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go
free, Sc feel it duty to lend my intiu-
ence in support of these Divine Truths. l
am proud to say that have endeavored to
implant the seeds If the great principles of
humanity in the m nds Of my children, and
am rulv thankful to the great Author of my
being that those seeds have taken root and
are sI,ringi,g up and producing the fruits
which may in time repay the labor.

of waiting for the approach of the locomotive
across Iowa from the Mississippi, have COM
menced the construction of the Council Bluffs

The proposed road commences at Council
Bluffs, and is to run along the fertile valley of
the Missouri to St. Joseph, where it will con-
meet with the St. Joseph and Hannibal Rail

over 100 miles between the two places, and
several miles Of grading on the northern end
has already been completed, and is now ready
for the ties. .ft. n
