Political Arsuments.-How the
e'Columniators'' Agree.
Every Carney paper in the Northern
Tier has been filed with accusations
against Senator Lane regarding our rail-
road interests.
They charge that he sold out the inter.
eats of The Northern Tier to A.chison,
and this is about the only charge that
does amount to any thing against Senator
Lane. We have had good reason to be.
lieve that Lane did what he could for Us
and was only beat becsuse Pomeroy was
the Senator from Atchisss and devoted all
his talents and influence towards making
Atchison great railroad centre, to the
detriment Of all other portions Of the
State aud especially TO the interests of .he
Northern Tier.
But we will publish the record of the
matter. We take the following from the
Atchison Champion bold Carney paper,
and give it to our readers to show them
that in Atchison the Carneyites try 10 make
political capital by asserting that Lane
,oorked for the Northern Tier, while the
Carneyitss, Fraudites, and Coppsrdi;e.,
try to hurt Senator Lane by asserting that
he worked for A,chison:
Now and then we meet citizen, who ia.
vors Lanes reelection to the U. s. SEN
ate for the reason that he pretends to fa-
vor Atchison's Railroad interest. Any
citizen who gives this reason for his sup
port of man whose baneful influence has
been so injurious to tho fair fame of Kan
sas, labors under most woful ignorance.
We have before US the Washington Daily
Globe of the date of May Goth, 1864, and
propose for the benefit of our readers, to
show what Lanes position was in Cong.
ress, less than three months ago, wheo
the Atchison Branch of the Pacific Rail.
road was under discussion. The Globe
is in our possession and any person desiring
to compare to official record with our ex-
tracts can have the oporiunity so to do.
"The Senate, as in committee of the
whole resumed the consideration of the
bill @. no. 32) TO amend an set, entitled
"An act to aid in tho construction Of a
Railroad and telegraph line from the
Missouri river to tho Pacific ocean, and to
secure to the Government the uses of the
same for postal, military, and other pur.
poses" approved July 1st, 1862. And
thereupon, Senator James H. Lane, of
Kansas, spoke as follows:" As
II have an Amendment here, such as ]
think the Government demands, and the
interests of onr State REQUIRE.
1T IS TO COMMENCE THIS
BRANCH AT FORT LEAVEN-
WORTH, AND RUN 1T THROUGH
ATCHISON. TROY AND MARYS.
VILE. THE HANNIBAL AND
ST. JOSEPH COMPANY HAVE \
ROAD GRADED TO TROY WHICH
Is IMMEDIATELY WEST OF ST.
JOSEPH.
BY running TO Troy you give the Hanni-
bal aud St. Joseph Railroad a western
connection. do not propose, to-day, to
discuss this connection. I have asked the
Secretary of War TO furnish the Senate
with the state ment of the!amount that the
Governments pays yearly for transporting
government supplies from Fort Leaven-
worth to Fort Kearney aud Fort Lara
mie. 1t will be found when that comes
in, that it is indispensable to connect Fort
Leavenworth with those poiEts; that the
expense that accrues to the Government
every yoar for Transporting Government
supplies from Fort Leavenworth to Fort
Kearney and Fort Laramie will almost pay
the amount that ,he Government agrees
to pay on these hundred miles. The Mill.
tary ROAD now to Fort Kearney, the initial
part Of the branch propose, runs from
Fort Leavenwor.h within four mile of
A,ch,son. close to Troy and through
