MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-Ot
this great thoroughfare the Detroit Tribune says
" Both the passenger and freight traffic of this
Road appears to be steadily improving. In the
second week of March, the receipts were s32, 1872
against sSo,ss7 for the corresponding week last
year. We observe that the stock at the East is
rapidly rising in favor. When most other stocks
are dull the Central is almost invariably buoyant
This is not matter of surprise to us here in the
West, who are cognizant of the consumate ability
with which this important thoroughfare is managed
It's local advantages indicate an uncommon degree
of prospective prosperity. 1t traverses very rich
and productive region, having population than

Lincoln and the Mexican War.

There is strong and deep feeling ex-
listing against Lincoln among the surviv-
ing Mexican war veterans, on account OF
his bitter hostility, to the war. Lincoln
was against his country in that war, and for
Mexico. At late Douglas meeting in
Swede Point Iowa. the following incident
occurred in the speech of Capt. Griffith.
1t is thus described:
.The votes of Abe Lincoln, and his ac-
tion on the Mexican war question, had
been adverted to by. Messrs. Finch and
Hutchins. when the Captain was called
to the stand.
"Shaking the stump of his right arm
which he had lost on the Mexican field
he asked them if he, who was willing to
lose the other in defense of his country
was murderer, and deserved welcom,
to "bloody grave by ihospitable hands,
whether or not he had fought in wa
unnecessary and unjust, and whether o
not they would vote for man who so de
clared2 The .Noln that proceeded from
that audience would shake stronger nerve
! than Mr., Lincoln's.

State against judge Douglas for the Uni

"Judge Douglas has said to you that

answer to the question whether I am in
favor of negro citizenship. So far as l
know, the Judge never asked me the
question. He shall have no occasion to
ever ask it again, for tell him frankly
that am not in favor of negro citizen

States have power to make. negro a
