made Bscretary ofthe meeting; after
which, Mr.. Beadle being called upon
stated in plain and forcible terms the
objects: purposes, necessities and pros.
poets Of the company and Of the peo-
pie. ,.
lie showed from the most plain and
acknowledged facts the ability Of the
people to aid themselves to rail road
connection with the Mississippi BY a
generous and united effort in that be-
half !; each man doing just what no is
able to do, x;thout injury to himself or
his other jasiness engagements.
He showed tho people the extent to
which heretofore they had taken coun-
sci Of their hopes and what they had
done under it's stimulus, urging upon
them that they now do not take counsel
o. their fears and remain inactive from
their paralyzing effects. ,a- s.-f
We are confident that our people
very generally, though not universal
", have allowed themselves to believe
they had heretofore been most egreg-
eously humbugged in rail road matters.
This may be true to certain extent.
But that they have ever suffered any
thing in dollars and cents, except that
the road has not been built is untrue.
In this county FIR the North Iowa r. r.
they rolled up good and responsible
subscription Of over $65.0o0!! yet
the interests Of our people were so well
guarded that not dollar Of the amount
was paid, or could be collected without
absolute assurances of the construction
Of the road. Now how were they hum
bussej ? Why, We supposed MIR.
Dwight to represent at least m amount
Of capital equal to, if notlmuch larger
than our subscription, while in fact he
did not represent dollar for himself or
any other parties. We Rugged to our
bosoms the delusive idea that outside
parties would construct to our doors for
US q rail roaa, transferring Us thereby
to IN elysium Of unbounded wealth and
prosperity. To this extent we we're
humbugged, no more and no less.
But in the meantime it developed the
fact that of our own resources properly
husbande'l and applied We have the
ability to all ourselves to all our am
hltion asks in that direction. In fact,
had We relied upon our own energies,
instead of the aid Of others, there can be
no doubt with the effort put forth, We
could. to-day have been in the enjoy
ment ola rail road within twenty Eve
miles Of our doors, with ths absolute
certainty Of its early completion.
And this company now only ask Of
US So 500, not o farthing Of which is
to be called for until enough is subscrib-
ed for the work, good and sufficient
bonds then to be given for the faithful
application Of every dollar
If two years ago our people felt that
they could give $4,000 to an object SO
dear, who shall undertake to say that
we cannot now, with our increased ne
cessities, give the meagre sum Of $12,-
500!
We again call upon our readers to
give the circular Of the company their
candid and earnest attention, and then
to turn out at an adjourned meeting to
be held at Sabin and Moons Hall, in
this place, ON the evening Of November
the Goth, and listen to additional rea-
sons why they should, IS one man,
embark in the enterprise. l.aa.1 .Er..
