Ra,l Road Neefinr-

According to previous notice, portion Of the
citizens of Winchester, met al the Court House,
on w ednesday evening for the purpose of consid-
sring the interest of the people OF this place in
connection with the Lake Erie and Pacific Rail
road.
On motion, Alexander White was appointed

Mr. White then in few appropriate remarks,
stated the object Of the meeting. He also read
some letters from prominent men on the line, in
favor of making Winchester point, aud that in
order to do this, the cit zers of Winchester must

WAS not raised, the Company would locate their
| line of road about four miles South East of Win
chester After Mr.. White closed his remarks,
Judge Peelle was called on for speech The
Judge responded in a very able speech, IN favor
of the road being made to Winchester. He said
/ it was not question, whether the road would be
made, as that was a settled point; the road being
now in operation at both ends. But the question
for US to consider was, will we have the road or
shall we let il go three OF. four miles South East
of our town, and thereby cripple our trade and
reduce the value of our property. After the
Judge closed h:- remarks, Judge Smith was call
ed on and responded in few remarks in favor of
the road.

WEEKLY JOURNAL.
No Tinlxering with the COnstltal'
tlOM.

The Crittenden amendment has received
its quietus in Congress. We are glad OF it. If
our people once commence tinkering with the
Constitution there will be no end to 1t. Du-
ring the last Presidential canvass our pollt-
cal opponents stood on the platform, as was
asserted, of the "Constitution as II u.s." AL
though many Of them have deserted it and
are asking amendments so as to give ad-
ditional protection to slavery, we think it
the duty of every patriot to cling to the old
chart of our liberties and dresistall attempts to
change it. Itwas framed with the utmost care'
guarding jealousy the rights ofall sections,
and has been amply sufficient for our coun-
try during its existence. Especially should
the attempt to alter or change that noble
instrument be abandoned at this time, when
excitement and passion prevent that clear
headed perception which is necessary for
such delicate and important task. Let US
have no tinkering with the Constitution, but
let every man stand by it and defend it to
the last.

The ORIrr KNDEN PaoPosIT.oN.- pro-
posed remedy for the ills that the country is
suffering, was laid aside by majority OF
four in the Senate on Tuesday, to make way
for the Pacific Railroad bill. No Republican
voted for it. Some of the Southern Senators
who voted to take up the resolution, would
probably have voted against its adoption
On the other hand, Messrs. Gwin and Latham,
the only Democrats who voted in the mega.

An Air Line Railroad from Mus
catine to Chicago.

The Rock Island Aryus says that the cars
now make daily trips between that city and
Port Byron, ON the Sterling and Rock Island
Railroad. This is an announcement of i'm
portance to Muscatine. Wehave never before
referred to the fact but it is nevertheless true
that sagacious railroad men have for some
time regarded the extension of the above road
to point opposite Muscatine as one of the
certainties of the no-distant future. The Rock
Island and Sterling Railroad connects at the
latter place with the Chicago and Fulton Air
Line Railroad, making almost an air line
between Chicago and Rock Island. The road
extended to Muscatine would make an air line
from Chicago TO this city, giving us railroad
connection with Chicago at least thirty miles
shorter than we now have.
OF course, it will be to the interest Of the
parties owning this road to extend it to Mus
catine, as it will give them an opportunity to
compete more successfully for the trade of
Central Iowa. We hope, however, that our
citizens will do all in their power to encourage
It's construction as soon as possible.

SECESSION CooLlNG Down. - The latest
news from the South indicates more mod
Grafton on the part of Southern men. 1tis
believed that Georgia, the "Empire State Of
the SOUTH" Will remain true to the Union.
1t now appears that the forts and arsenals
taken possession of BY order Of the Govern
or of that State are held in trust for the
Federal Government, lest they should fall
into the hands Of lawiess and designing men,
bent on mischief.
We earnestly hope that a peaceful solution
Of our difficulties on grounds compatible with
the honor and rights Of both North and
South may be accomplished. We deprecate
war as o great calamity-next to the loss
of national honor and principle.

For the Journal.l

FRIEND MAnlN:-I'send you letter from
another brother, who speaks free Republican
doctrines very much after my mind. L do
not think anything in his letter can be con-
strued to interfere with slavery in the States
where it exists. If thought it did, would
not approve it; for we are bound by the
Constitution aot to interfere. He formerly
lived for some years in South Carolina, and
on his return he was convinced that the
South were sure to rule our National affairs,
and to rule with stronger hand from time
to time, as opportunity offered. Such has
been true. lhe question now presents
itself Shall We again put ourselves under
the rule of the South by compromising ?
For my part, would as soon put myself
under the monarchy of Napoleon as under
the tyranny of the South. ALI our best
statesmen have warned us against civil
war. am for a peaceful division, by the
amendment Of the Constitution to that
effect. SUEL FosrRR.

An Extra Session Proposed.

The Desmoines Commonwealth urges an
extra session of the Iowa Legislature to give
the expression of the State in favor Of the
Union. The Iowa City Reporter says efforts
are making in various directions to induce
the Governor to call the Legislature together.
1he Reporter is opposed to proposition. So
are we. Iowa is true to the Union, always
has been and always will be. Her position
cannot be construed as equivocal, and conse.
quently there is no necessity for her Repre-
sentatives to go to the trouble and expense
OF declaring what nobody doubts. The ex-
igencies Of the times do not now demand any
extraordinary action on our part, but when
such action is demanded our sister States
may rest assured that Iowa will be ready and
eager to do her part towards maintaining the
Union and the Constitution. Her people
and her presses have spoken with an almost
unanimous voice, and, in the language of the
sentiment contributed by Iowa to the Wash
ington monument, 'thc affections Of her
people, like her rivers, flow to inseperable
Union" --

Message of the Governor Of Ken.
lucky.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. II.
Gov. Magofdn's message to the extraordi
nary session of the Legislature asks them
to express their appreciation of Crittenden's q
resolutions, and says eight States will have
seeded before their deliberations close that
Tennessee has referred the whole subject to
her people.
Virginia and North Carolina are discuss
ing the propriety of q similar compromise.
Missouri seems likely to adopt similar
policy. He submits to the Legislature the
propriety of providing for the election of
delegates to the Convention, to assemble at
an early day, to determine the future inte-
rests and federal relations of Kentucky.
Meanwhile he would leave no experiment
untried to restore fraternal relations be-
tMeen the States. He recommends that the
Convention of the border States meet early
in February in Baltimore. The Governor
says hasty and inconsiderate action of the
seeding States do not meet our approval,
but kentuckans will never stand by with
folded aTms while those States are strug-
Cling for their constitutional rights and are
being subjugated to an anti-slavery govern
ment. The Governor asks the Legislature
to declare by resolution the disapprobation
by Kentucky Of employment of force in any
form against the seeding States. He asks
for arming and equipping,
&c., volunteers for the militia.
