The business of the Convention be-

dler was called to the stand, and made
Fone of his characteristic speeches.
He committed himself and the Con-
vention fully to all practicable aid to
the Evansville, Henderson & Nash
vile Railroad, and was in favor of the
Straight-Line Railroad, whenever any
one could see any chance. for it to
be built He had been a Director on
that road, and it had died; and he did
not believe that any power--not even
the Democratic papers of the city
and he acknowledged their great abil-
ity-could resusc tate it.
He was warmly for a railroad pene-
trating into Southern Illinois, by build
ing branch from Princeton, or PATIO
ka, to Mt. Carmel, and connecting
with the proposed road from Mt. Car
mel to Nation; and showed the in
calculable advantages the city would
derive from such road. He said the
great Republican Union party-of
which any one should now be proud
had no real competitor in this city or
township. The Democratic party was
dead, and there was not enough of it
left in this section to bury its rotten
>carcass; but he urged to watchful-
ness and vigilance and united effort
to maintain the advantage we had al
ready gained, enumerating the inter-
terests we had at stake, to-wit: The
City Government, two Representa-
'tives, one Senator, and member of
Congress. oA Fsn ss.as) r.
