Resolutions.


Passed by a meeting of the Ottumwa City
Guards, and the citizens of Ottumwa, Jan.
10th, 1861.
Lieut.. Eaton in the Chair. The usual
order of business of the Guards was quickly
passed over, when the committee of one
C. c. Cloutman-which was appointed at a
previous meeting ofthe Guards, to draft res
olutions, to be acted upon by the general
meeting, reported as follows:
Resogre3, That the present crisis in the
affairs of our country demands of every
good citizen that he put forth all his inhu.
ence, and exert all his energies to allay that
spirit of political hostility which has so long
been arraying one section of the Union
against the other, and rescue all he holds
dear from the ruin to which we are now
drifting.
Resolpea, That the firm maintenance and
rigid enforcement of the laws of our country
is demanded of the Chief Executive, and all
others in authority over us; that the union
of these States be maintained, and the gen.
eral welfare of the country be promoted.
Resolred, That we approve of the action
of MAJ. ANDERSON in evacuating Fort Moul.
trie and taking possession of, and fortifying
himself in Fort Sunpter-and do hereby
express our admiration Of the gallant con.
duct and spartan heroism of his little band
in resolving there to defend themselves OF
die for their country.
| Resolged, That we as heartily disapprove
of the acts of one James Buchanan, in rela
ton to the secession movements in the
South.
! Resolse1, That we are in favor of main
tanning the union Of these States at all haz.
ards, believing the Republic is one, and its
real interests identical.
Resolsea, That we are clearly of the opin
ion of Gen. jackson, when he announced to
South Carolina his solemn conviction tha
they could not succeed in notification or Sc
cession.
| Resolcea, That the Ottumwa City Guard.
hold themselves in readiness to battle fol-
the support of our glorious government, fo
the upholding and enforcement of our laws
and for the integrity of the Union, as found
ed by our fathers.
Bv motion, the resolutions were actet
On singly, and each resolution was adopte'
unanimously, with approving remarks ant
short debates. They were then adopted a
whole; and By motion copy was prepares
and the publication Of the same requested
! in both our city papers. Adjourned.

The Pacific Railroad Bill.

The Pacific Railroad Bill passed by the
House of Representatives last week, and now
pending before the Senate, provides for two
roads-a Northern Road starting from two
points, one on the Iowa Border, the other on
the Missouri Border, the two branches
converging at point within two hundred
miles West of the Missouri river, and r,n.
ming thence in single trunk line by the
nearest and most direct route, and by the
vicinity of Great Salt Lake, to the city Of
San Francisco
The Southern Road, starting, likewise,
from two points, Fort Smith in Arkansas,
and a point on the Western border OF Louisi-
ana, with the branches meeting at some point
West of the 9th meridian Of longitude, runs
thence by single trunk line by the nearest
and best route, crossing the. Rocky Noun
tains South of the oath parallel of latitude,
and terminating at the Pacific coast at or
near San Francisco.
The company is to carry the mails, troops
and public stores Of the United States, to
erect telegraph line along the road, and to
complete 500 miles of the road, within six
years after the passage Of the bill. 1t grants
a roadway 400 feet wide, and row Of alter
nate sections of land to the Northern Road !;
and to the Southern Road ten alternate sec
tons through New Mexico, and six in CaIifor.
MIA.
The Southern Road is to receive $40 ,O00.-

them Road receives $50 ,Ooo,O oO--the prin-
cipal and interest to be paid in Transporting
mails, stores, troops, ammunition, &C., &C.,
Boath roads are required to be finished
within fifteen years.
The Government Bonds arc to be paid to
the Northern Company as follows: From
the places of starting to the 9th meridian of
longitude $4,000 per mile; thence to the
9Sth meridian $4,000; and for every ad-
ditional meridian, an increase Of $4,000 per
mile, until the 1OJth meridian is reached
From the Pacific terminus the rate is to be
ST., 900 per mile, increasing $4,000 every
mile for meridian, until the base Of the Sicr-
"a Navada is reached, from whence it is to
be increased $4,000 per mile for every de-
gree to the top Of the Rocky Mountain.
The provisions for the Southern Road are
similar. Both roads are to be constructed
n the best style, and none but American
iron used in them.
| Among the names of the corporators OF
the Northern Road are the following gentle
men from the West: In Illinois, Charles G.

Shall we COMPROMISED

We are decidedly ofthe opinion that what
is ordinarily called compromises is the poor
est remedy for existing difficulties, and for
this reason the compromises all demand
concession TO one section only, forgetting
entirely that there is North as we'll as q
South, to,be consulted in any compromise
that may be entered into There are some
100000 voters in this country, who have
some feelings, some interests, some rights in
this Union, who ought and who will be con
snltoeisin any compromise that may be entere;
into Those 100000 voters, representing
nearly halfthe population of the country
love the Constitution and the Union, and are
willing to sacrifse everything but principle
to preserve them but they will not humili
ate themselves, they viii not eat dirt, they
will not erter into any arrangement, unless
it is fair, unless the rights of the North as
well as the South, are fully secured, by guar.
antccs that cannot hereafter be broken.
Republicans are for the Union to the last
man. They pledge for its preservation their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor
They Lave taken their position deliberately
in full view of all the consequences, and will
maintain it TO the end. They VII! lstain
the regularly constituted authorities of the
Federal Government, and the institutions of
the country as the Fathers E,ade them, at
every hazard, and they are decidedly of the
opinion that in this patriotic work, they will
have with them, not only the sanction Of
law, but three fourths of the liberty loving
and Union men yofthe county. Ifthere are
any among us who have or may conclude to
give aid or comfort to those who have levied
war against the Federal Government, and are
seeking to supplant and overthrow it, we
can only say to such, that they will be com,
PEELED to lay On the bed that they make up.
Nothing is palmer now, than that every
mans opinions will soon be put to practical
test. The question is, will we sustain trait.
ors, or will we g for the Union. All must
choose between these two sides. For one,
we are for the Union, and the fairly ex-
pressed will Of the majority, and against
secession. .s...

Mr.. Cprwin is preparing i.is report to ac-

He intends hringing the House to direct

Border States refuse their assent

There arc but two Parties!
tits said that there are now practically
but Two parties in the country, a Union
Party, determined to maintain the Union, the
Constitution and the laws IN their integrity,
ond a Disunion Party, seeking to overthrow
the Constitution and nullify its laws. This
is so, and il is time for every citizen to indi-
cate to whic'a party he belongs.
1t is not to be supposed that these parties
are to be divided strictly by the lines which
seperate the Free from the Savs. States, al
though tn. Indications Of the last week rem
der it almost certain that disunionists in the
North ara few and far between, Everywhere
in the North meetings composed of all par
ties, have been held, at which expressions of
the most devoted attachment to the Union
as il is, have been uttered while we are not
advised that any meeting sympathizing with
the South, has anywhere been he,din any
Free State. If there are any Secession SYM
pathissrs among US, they keep themselves
very quiet, contenting themselves with an
occasional fling at the North, and "A hesitating
apology for the South but this class of per-
sons is small, and without organization or
Influence Now and then one of these, less
discreet than the rest, talks of helping the
south, but'they do'sohesita.inglya ifafrail
of being heard. In fact synpathisers with
treason will grow small by degrees, and
beautifully less, from this time forward. THE
Union, it must and shall be preserved" is
the motto under which an almost unanimous
North, and not a.few even in'the South will
dc battle, until the Stars and Stripes again
