am sorry that my townsman, who was chairman

SUCH an act, and il only proves how deem the
one.man Democracy has fallen, and hov ;mnos.;.
Ole It is TO remain working member of that
miserable tail-end Of . once honorable and M.

OF eievating one Of their number over 4ke hssa
OF Trustworthy servant Of the people. :
As one of the people much desi,e Ahe co,.
structlon OF Pacific Railroad, and being this
summer several weeks at Washington. made i
special work 70 investigate how il stood v;,h
that railroad. The result Of INV obaerv.,;ons
were, that became fully convinced mot oriv
that our Representative, Samuel X Curtis. M
chairman Of the Select COMMITTEES ON the Pacific
Railroad, had used all his power TO secure the
early passage of favorable bill. hut that nm.
less he had been at the head of that COMMITTEE
the whole plan would have been buried in On.
Hviou. :" o"-
The Pacific Railroad is not cor sidercd in Con.
gress az party or sectional NEE sure, but party
lsm and sectionalism have had in Auence upon the
course OF the proceedings in Congress. The real
national stand taken by our Representative. and
MS honorable and manly course in Congress, have
convinced Southern members that Samuel r..
Cur'is Is not a sectional partizau, and he could
n.u ~, nearing by southern members who would.
without any shadow Of doubt, have turned deaf
car and contemptuous smile towards such men
Us U Z. Cole, whose Democracy is for the pres
emf swallowed by the name Of Stephen Arnold
douglas. l have been q pers0n nal witness that
instead of wasting time in uscles % postponement
OF bill, our Representative he's worked early
IN the morning and late at night 90 as to get the
Dill IN such shape before the House that he
could work out its consunmation before his pre-
vent term expires
The conviction of the faitbfulness of our Rem.
resentative induced me to write Fl Sun Washing |
ION to prominent candidates for that oiii.e |
before the Republican Congressional Convention,
ana TO induce him not to press his Calm for tie |
present. but to support the nomi nation Of Sam.
lel r. Curtis
So as the case now stands, tlren, the proposed
Dill will come up next December, and il the
members OF the House will til en- not occupy
themselves too much with the result of the No |
rember election. the bill can BE- passed before
The 4th Of March, 1861, and our Representative
ought to receive then all the Gre dit due him for
his faithfulness.
ii, however, the factious opposition shall pre-
vent the passage of said measure, and the case
be referred to the next Congress, no new men,
Der, aud certainly not c. c. Cole, can be Of more
and better service than Mr.. Curtis. He is ac-
quainted with every particular in reference to
SAID railroad, which no new member can be. He
has already standing IN Congress, as chairman
Of the committee, which can with no shadow of
propriety be refused to him in the next Con.
gress 1t Mr.. Cole should present himself as a
new memb"r, he would experience that however
great and prominent he may feel himself at Des
MONIES, he would not be considered directly 20
At Washington. And if we shall have in the
next Congress, as is probable, again Repubi-
can Speaker, Mr. c. c. Cole must not imagine
mat MS importance would be so ponderOus as
to incline the Speaker Of the House to place an
unknown and untried new member of the tail.
end OF the Democracy at the head Of such q
committee. Whatever may be the complexion
Of the next Congress, we know already that the
10 called Douglas Democrats will have n pitiful
show in the House of Representatives.
1t the citizens of our Congressional District
have any idea Of self-interest they will certainly
not send such man as Z. C. Cole, who can do
no good for the Pacific Railroad, but they will
the earnest and hard work Of Hon.
Samuel r. Curtis and rc-elect him with an over.
sfelmng majority, and repel thereby the infa.
nous Islander promulgated by desperate politi-
,ians, who, having no real argument to attract
he people to the broken down faction, expecto.
ate their malgnity without shame.
As one OF the people despise Q ,ch kind Of
,ol'tlcal warcfare. can overlook it, when in |
ne warmth Of debate upon the stump, an Of.
lce-seeker forgets for moment that a man of /
honor ought never to try to blacken his adver- |
'arv before the people with slanderous and dis
honorable reports; but when men of some age |
md experience and some prOfessed Christians.
an sit calmly rs committee on resolutions, and
abricate falsehood for the purpose Of lowering
IN honorable and worthy servant of the people
n the estimation Of the public, and thereby pro-
note the chance of success for their own clique,
10 honest voter ought 10 sustain such. practice.
1 any party must resort to such means to keep
lp courage, it is an evidence Of its hopeless and
desperate rottenness.
Convinced, from personal investigation of the
lander contained in the above named resolution. !
should be inclined to believe that the Demo- !
ratio leaders Of the Des Moines Convention are
# the same Fabric as those in New York des- /
gnated by Mr.. Dickinson as political gamb-
ers"
Iconsidcr it my duty to bear testimony to the
ruth, and to protect against the malicious SLAM
lering of q faithful Representative; and for the
interest Of the inhabitants of the First Congress
