a QUESTION FOR THE HUMANE There
seems to DO some conflict of opinion be-
between our town Authorities and the rail-
road company in regard to the disposal of
persons injured on the St. Louis railroad.
We have beer informed that that railroad
company for year or SO past have been in
the habit ct bringing persons Injured by
their cars to this city and leaving them here
to become town charge. We understand
that there are two cases of this kind now
at the Atlantic Hotel, one, a brakeman
named Berry. whose arm was crushed a few
days ago 50 that it had to be amputated at
the shoulder, and the other a stranger who
had his foot crushed in attempting TO get
aboard Of the cars nearly hundred miles
from .hsFe and ,FAa4 va s4esbtJ hsta np JFgidaY-
formed by DR.. Macarthur assisted by DR..
Casey. The Railroad authorize. perempt-
orally refuse to take care of those unfortu-
nate men or to pay any of the bills.
On the other hand it is contended that
our town is under M obligation to support
and take care of persons injured by the
railroad and brought here from distance
And thus it is feared the unfortunate will
be left to suffer without the necessary care
and attendance. 1t is PROFESSIONALLY the
duty of the railroad company to provide for
those who may meet with accidents on the
road, but we submit if this is inhumanly
declined, that the poor unfortunates should
not be allowed to suffer ia & humane and
christian community We trust that our
city council will look into the matter.

of the reasons given as cause Of the

Ifoprosition to the principles and policy

E5- The return of Mr.. Weed to the ed i

Is signalized by the conservative tone of
its recent leading articles. Who were one
Of the parties that brought about the pres.
ent state Of affairs, and who are now
rendering re union difficult if not impos-
sible," is thus stated in that paper:
The chief architects of the rebellion,

aided in their internal designs by the ultra
Ab1litionists. of the North. This was too
TOO true, for without such aid the Sonth
could never have united against the Union

lion, are keeping down the Union men of
the South, and rendering re>union difficult
1t not impossible"
That Is u pretty heavy battery brought
t. bear upon the Abolitionists. 1t comes,
too, from one who has courted and petted
them for their votes. 1t tells undeniable
truth, however, when it says the Abolition
lists "are aggrayating the horrors Mey
helped to create, and thus, by playing in to
the hands of rebellion, are keeping down
the Union men of the South, and rendering

The first article Of the new constitution,
after deiUirg boundaries, was in these
words: ~
THAT we hold these truths to be self
evident; that ell men are created equal;
that they are endowed by the Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit OF
happiness, and of acquiring. possessing
and protecting property. That to secure
these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
SEC 2. That all power is inherent in the
people, and all free governments are found
ed on their authority, and instituted fer
their peace, safety and happiness.
SEC. B. That all men have a natural and
indefeasitle right to worship Almighty
God according to the dictates of their own
consciences that no man can of right be
compelled to attend. cree. or support any
place Of worship, or to maintain any min
istry against his consent; that no human
authority can. in any case whatever, con-
troll or interfere with the rights of con-
science and that no preference shall ever
be given by law to any religious establish
ments or modes of worship"
The Stumptails voted down all those sec
tions, and deceived scores of thousands who
had no opportunity to see the constitution
to vote them down.
The Stumptails called those principles a
swindle.
History tells US that in the days of the
ancient federal domination, it was asserted
and many were made to believe that il
Jefferson's Democratic party succeeded. III,
| bibles would all be burnt.
| In the election just past. the StumptaiI,
declared and made many believe that i
/ the new constitution was adopted, the
right Of trial by jury would he abolished
and yet the new constitution contained
these express and emphatic words:
"SEc. 6. That the right of trial by jur,
shall remain inyi9late."
The Stumptails declared and made man,
people believe that the new constitution
was a secession instrument. made by seces
sionists and intended to enable this Stat
to secede from the Union, and yet in it
this emphatic section:
SEC 81. That the people of this Stat
regard the union of the States, under tn
federal Constitution, as permanent and in
disso!uble. from which no State has a con
stitutional right to withdraw or secede."
The Stumptails induced thousands VIII
Ind M nnportunitv of seeing the new con
stitution tn vote against that section.
In other words the Stumptails deceive
thousands to vote against the Declaration
of Independence, against religious libert,
and in favor of secession.
How long will it be before the doom
the Stumptais will be sealed forever.
