THE Upton RAILROAD.

We give elsewhere report Of the pro
ceedipgs Of tie railroad meeting las
week. 1t will be seen that only $40, 0O(
additional subscription is needed TO com
Plete the grading aud tieing. Will that
amount be raised! If will Be, if the
people in this vicinity will bu. do their
duty, aud il would be a very easy matter
to raise it, if the people were convinced
that BY SO doing a railroad would be Sc
cured. The citizens Of Upton have
been often humbugged in railroad ura,-
tiers aud We are determined, as far US We
are able, to give nothing but facts, and
We believe it would be better for US to
look at the facts as they are, then to i'm
asiue that things are thus and SO, and
then proclaim our inaginipcs for facts.
We are sorry to differ with any one
who wi hes to get railroad here, but US
VIC believe "hopesty is the best policy"
10 railroad as we'll US other matters We
must refer to statement made in com
munication 10 Il last Utmocrat. /. was
calculated to excite hopes that may not
be realized, and in case they are not, i,
would BE- still harder to induce our citi
gems to take hold ut any future time 49,
We have seen similar statement in the
same paper before and have said nothing,
aud should have done the same now, had
We not seen that the statement was being
copied into other papers, aud is calculat
ed to place our citizens in "a false posi-
tion. The Muscatine journal Of Satur-
day last refers to the communication in
the Democrat aud says that, speaking of
Messra Gelpcke & Co., the owners OF
the Dubuque aud Auauosa road, the
communication says:
"They .ifer TO furnish all the iron and
rolling stock, to put i. in operation to
Upton. This is encuuragin. to the
friends Of the Upton road. aud ought to
stimulate them to more activity than ever
IN he securing its early construction
lfthis statement is true, We shall be
looked upon BY our neighbors as being
without any public spirit aud as not be-
ing deserving 0 any road, if We do not
at once finish the grading and tieing Of
our road. Unfortunately for US the state.
ment is not true. We have had no such
offer from any responsible source, but We
hope that the men named will soon make
US that one, and our hope is not with.
out reason, As will be seen from the CON-
nunicstiou 10 last weeks ADVERTISER
on the subject Of railroads. We are as
sured that Mr.. Grlpcke is turning his
attention to our road and that it is gain.
ing in his favor. We had the opportu.
nifty last winter Of calling his attention
to it and improved it Us well as we were
able to do.
One thing is sure. We have got to
grade and tie the Upton Railroad before
the cars can run over it, and it NAV be |
thai We have got to do it, before We 6ud
any man or set of men WHO will agree to
iron aud run it. At any rate, We shall
be more likely to succeed if We can say,
'here is our road ready for the iron,"
than if We say I'VE will grade and tie i.
it you will agree to iron aud run it,"

Why NO Bargais can be Made.

The secessiouis,s arc divided luto three
! classes:
l. Those who intend to 20 out of the
Union, and stay out. This Includes all
the Cotton States. excepting, possibly,
Arkansas, aud Texas.
III. Those who Intend to GO out, not to
stay cut, but for the purpose Of ext rtin-
from the adhering aud loyal States Of the
North, concessions to Slavery as the con
dition Of their return to the UnioI-
They call themselves reconstruction.
i,ts,' aud their leaders are Hunter aud
Breckenridge.
Ill. Those who intend to stay in the
Union, but who keep threatening 10 the
most terocious manner TO 20 out on short
notice, unless the Free States will get
down upon their knees, beg pardon tor
voting for Lincoln, and tender to the
South the most sbject pledges in favor
Of eternal Slavery. This class rail-.
around the Crittenden resolutions for
amending the Constitution in all unc,n
stitu,ional mode.
The Republicans are asked to placa,t
the Secess ionists, and thus save the Tn
ion. Can it be done? Not BY unworthy
and Illuminating concessions; aud fol-
! these reasons:
l. Nothing can be done to restrain tn,
first mentioned class for their seccss o,
was II foregone purpose. So much fo'
them
III. The second class are equally bent
upon going out Of the Union, provided
they are able to effect that object For
they fancy that if once quasi cut Of tn.
Union, they can ex'ort from the Nortl
better terms as the conditions Of their
return than they now can as the condi
tions of their staying in. Present con
ccssions are therefore thrown away upor
this class. They prefer to negotiate out
side of tie Uni.n
III. The third class are playing .
hypocritical part. and h.nce are da" ger
Gus men to trade with. Besides, they
have not sufficient strength in their sey
eral States to control the secession senti
ment, therefore are not worthy of serious
consideration.
What, then, can Republicans do cx
cept to adhere firmly to their priDci pies
stand by the Constitution as it is, hol,
no party with conspirators aud traitors

The great speech OF this Congress is
that of Sherrard Clemens, Of the Wheel
ing (Ea.) District, to-day. 1t was an
eloquent and mastery dissertation on the
sccess,ouists, from border slave State
point of view Its power in many parts
was tremendous, and its effect not yet to
be measured Clemens proved upon the
dlsunonists that their scheme was long
since maturetl, aud will embrace the OF.
ening Of the African slave trade, and con.
seauent destruction Of all the interest Of
Virginia in slavery. lie quoted all the
Aboition,sts, English and American up.
on the secessiouisis, showing both to be
working to the same end-the dissolution
of the American Union. lie show d
how the suicide Of slavery was being pre-
cpi;ated. aud its grave dug by the very
ucu who had withdrawn from Congress
to protect it more effectuaIy. lie told
the South that if they fought till the last
armed foe expired, they never could ex.
pect from the North the same guarantees
for slavery enjoyed under the existing
Constitution
The speech was full of gems. 1t was
nervous aud energetic in manner, brave,
inci,ive, at times terribly sarcastic. aud
surchar.ed with earnestncss aud power
Coming from the source it did, it fell on
the House aud thronged galleries like a
thunderbolt. All Union men thanked
God aud brea,hed cas- Ter, while among
dlsunlonl,ts Was great wrath and ynash-
Ing Of teeth. His merciless invective,
when he showed up the secessionists as
playing directly into the hands of the
Aboiltlonists a d all the enemies of free
Government all over the world, was a
most bitter dose for some of them. Many
Virginia and Kentucky members were
very FESTIVE end tried to conceal their
chagrin by loud laughing, talking. and
marching about the Hall Some fed to-
tally, initiating the example of the seces-
soni>ts. Clemens charged them -ith COW
ardly treason to the common interests Of
the slaveholding States. He paid beanti
full tribute to Mr. Adams on the floor for
seeking means of harmonizing difficulties
On the whole it was the most brillicut
speech delivered in the House this sss.
sion. and produced great excitement and
admiration in an immense audience.

OH. DON'T

Some Of the Democratic papers. such
as the Cedar Democrat and the Dascn
port Democrat and Ne9s have commen.
ccd praising Senator Grimes and Repre-
sentative Vandever. We beg those pa.
pcrs to desist. Messrs Grimes and
Vandever have heretofore received uu-
measured abuse from these sources. and
have succeeded in spite Of them, but We
fear they never will be abe to endure
their praises. Fortunately, however
Messrs. Grimes and Eandever have not
abandoned the orthodox Republican
wing" True, Senator Grimes conerstu
lated Mr. Seward on his speech, but Mr..
Seward did not abandon any Of the prin,
ciples of his party. These ayers say
that Mr. Vandever voted for the Border
State compromise. This cannot be SO,
for that compromise, contemplates an
amendment Of the Constitution and we
fnd that on the 2Sst inst, "Mr. Van
dever offered resolutions declaring that
the Federal Government has no pow
er to interfere with Slavery in the States;
that whatever may be the power of the
relative to Slavery in the
Territories, etc, it was no ground for
dissolution of the Union; tina. it is not
to amend the Constitution at
this time. A government without power
TO maintain itself is not worthy to b.
preserved" Further comment is unIec,
essary.
