what does this mean! Is il because the depots
are filed to overlooking, as was the case a few
months ago?
Louisville has suffered much through Interrupt
ton of her Southern trade Is that trade to be al
most entirely cut off? Cincinnati has hitherto been
the competitor of Louisville for the Southern trade
Political occurrences Of recent date have destroy
ed this competition. If suicidal madness does not
control matters here, this entire trade must in f-
ture be ours. The effect of this movement of
railroad, TO the building of which the city and the
people of Louisville contributed so largely, will be
to deprive us Of the advantages which have been
thrust upon us. Do the people of Louisville, cut
off from all trade with the North, also wish to have
an embargo laid on their Southern business7
We want, and the merchants, business men, me-
chanics-the people of Louisville demand an expla-
nation OF this movement. We hope it will be in the
power of those who are responsible to give sat
isfaetory explanation. Surely the gentlemen who
determined after their long and anxious Sunday
conference on this measure can give good reason
for what they have done.
If not. we shall certainly recur TO this matter
again.-Louisuige Courier, april 20.
