NASHVILLE, Marcn 10, IDOL
To the citizens of Davidson and Summer counties Ten
nessee Stockholders in the Louisville and AaShUiAe
Railroad Company:
Having determined 70 move to Louisville, 1t be-
comes my duty to tender my resignation OF the Of
fee of Director in the above mentioned road. The
charter provides that the stock in Tennessee shall
be represented by those living in the State, in pro-
portion TO the amount held therein. The above
named counties and their citizens equal owners
and the only owners of the stock in this STATE Each
county having subscribed S30OOOO The stock
owned by the citizens arises from the taxes paid IN
the county bonds. l believe there is not another
share of individual stock owned in this State except
that subscribed by myself soon after the Ofganiza-
ton of the Company. The two counties are thus
equally entitled to voice in selecting their repre-
sentative.
In connection with this notification of my inten-
tiOn to resign, deem it not improper TO say to you
that since the organization of the Company in Ten
nessee have been member of the Board, and that
have faithfully advocated your special interest
well that of the entire enterprise have ex-
pended much time and labor and some money in 80
doing. have never sought to make display of my
efforts to promote the public interest in this matter
should now allude TO it but for the injustice
done IN what purported to be the official report
of the proceedings Of Merchants Meeting, held in
Nashville the 10th of October last. in which dis
paraging remarks of my Official conduct were made,
but in such vague and general terms as to make 1t
necessary for me to call upon the merchants in a
published note, addressed to their chairman, for
plain and explicit charges against me, so to afford
me an opportunity for defeRce. None have ever
been preferred against me. And consider myself
as fully acquitted of any innuende or insinuation
brought against me in said meeting.
To the citizens of Nashville l beg leave to say
that prior the amagamaton of the Louisville and
Nashville and the Bowhnggreen and Tennessee Rail
road Companies was the earnest and laborious sd
vocate of the indedependent road to Bowlinggreen.
Could / have secured their hearty cooperation,
that road would have been built and given to them
full access the trade of the Green River Valley free
from any undue influence, supposed or real coca.
stoned by the rivalry of Louisville in the manage
ment of the road as now built
might refer 10 many special acts, and speeches,
and published articles of mine, both in and ont of
this county IN and out of the Board Of Directors,
in refutation of any suggestion that have been in
different to the prosperity of Nashville My pro
perty interest good degree, has been for years
and still is located here and may add, my attach
ments of every kind, have for many years caused
me to feel deep interest IN the locality and the
population of the city of Nashville, which l trust
may not be diminished by my removal
