nity and with the means Of gratifying
that disposition, is it presumable that
the persons who were actuated by it
would amuse themselves in the ridicu-
lous task of ~fabricating election laws
Tor securing a preference to a favorite
class Of men? Would tncY not be like
ly 10 prefer q conduct better adapted
to their own immediate aggrandize-
ment2 Would they not rather boldly
resolve to perpetuate themselves in Of
tee by one decisive act Of u~surpatlon,
than to trust to precarious expedients,
which, in spite Of au the precautions
that might accompany them, mightte T
inmate in the dismission, disgrace and
ruin of their suthors2 Would they not
fear that citizens, not less tenacious
than conscious of their rights, would
flock from the remOtest extremes of
their respective States to the places of
election to overthrow their tyrants, and
to substitute men who would be dis
posed TO avenge the violated majesty of
the people2'
Again, on page2z3, he asks: Suppose
au article had been introduced into the
Constitution empowering the United

A Card.

NASHVILLE Mercn <UtlJ 1000.
Mr.. EDIroR-Please oblige us by insert
ing the following:
We do not object to the criticisms Of the
Chamber of CONNIE cree, and of the signers
of certain letters that have appeared IN the
city papers, upon the management of the
railroads with which we are connected. We
excuse and overlook those things, on the
supposition that one may know more of an
other'e business than Of his own. The result
Of q mans labor is brought into question
and decided upon, without regard to the
peculiar circumstances which may surround
him; or the unavoidable facts and forces
which may compel him to adopt q particu-
lar course. And 1t not unfreouently hap
pens that those most ready and eager to
pass judgment are the ones least qualified,
by a knowledge of the case, to decide upon
its merits.
In view Of this, we take no notics Of so
much Of those letters, reports and proceed
ings as consider the workings of the roads,
in a general, business sense. But such part
of them as reflect, or attempt to reflect upon
US personally, or upon our motives for the
course we have pursued, We declare false
and without foundation.
The statement that a remark was made
by a superintendent to Mr.. Harrison in st,
Louis, detrimental to the interests of Nash
vile, if intended to apply to the General
Superintendent of these roads, is wholly
untrue. The statement that Mr.. Ewing
said freight must go by his route or he
would sink Nashville, is false in every
word, syllable, and letter. Finally, any
statement in any letter, resolution or re-
port, which conveys the idea, or intends to
convey the idea that the officers Of these
roads have been governed by other than
the best motives in transscting the business
of their several departments, for the good
of all concerned, is unquslifedly false from
first to last and those who originated such
statements were either ignorant of the sub
ject upon which they wrote, or knew the
statements 10 be void of truth.
Yours respectfully,
WV. P. INNEs,
Gent supt.
J. B. YATES,
Asst supt.
E. H. EWING,
Gent Fgt. Ag't.
