and the private history of Mr.. Sears, as ]
can't see that these things are at all necessa-
~ for the legislature to consider, wish to
call the attention of our senator and repre-
sentative to few plain facts, viz
The signers of the remonstrance against
the passage of the Sears bill are property
owners near the point which viii be affected
by the proposed dam.
The signers for the Sears bill are persons
who reside in Rock Island, Moline, and
places not interested in or affected by the
proposed legislation, and | venture to say
that not one in ten of these can tell what
kind of a charter it is proposed to grant
People ought to be careful how they sign pc
titions affecting the interests of others. 1t
probably seemed trivial matter for them to
sign the paper, as there was nothing to pay
but it is no trivial matter to the men whose
property and business are TO be ruined by
the charter.
Why does not Mr.. Sears get his charter
printed and show it to the people ? Then
all can act Understandings. Does he think
he can push charter through the legisla-
ture, granting extraordinary and unusual
privileges, over the heads of people directly
interested in the property here and on the
Rock River bottoms, and keep US in ignor-
ance of the outrage
The property holders on Rock River ask
the legislature to think before they act, and
not give any man a charter behind which he
can shelter himself from damage to the
owners of lands which will be overfiowed: or
under which he can destroy the business
prospects of any man or place.
The article in the Union says 'Mr Sears
can make all the improvements necessary for
his own purposes without a charter Why,
then. does he ask the state to give him about
Is acres of land On which the state has ex-
pended $4,000 in digging a canal? And
why does he ask for power to condemn more
land? Why does he not specifically locate
the point he proposes to dam the heighth
of the dam, &C. &c, instead of asking a kind
of locomotive, floating charter, allowing him
to settle down wherever he can make the
most money, regardless of private or public
interest to be affected thereby? And GER
tainly l cannot see why the legislature should
give weight to petitions from people who
have no local business or pecuniary inter
ests to be affected, or fail to outweigh all
such names with even a petition from one
man whose interests and rights are to be af.
fected.
he article pupnSneu IN MI sears interest
says there exists combination of one man
in your city and one or two in Camden whose
object is to compel Mr.. Sears to pay them
large sums tor their property, or to concede
to them important and unusual privileges
This is not true. There can scarcely be
found man in this place who is not strong
| " opposed to the Sears charter. They ask
| no privileges of any sort. They ask to be let
alone, and that the legislature shall not give
to any man the power to ruin them.
Equal and exact justice to all special
privileges to none" is the principle on which
governments should act. This is all we ask

Senator Yates sometimes attempts to quote
the bible, but Senator Yates generally gets
his quotations his rotations consider

members of congress elect, held in Washing

ideas which seems to be the misfortune o.

the authorship of the Psalms to the Apostle
Paul. He said:

The Sears MONOPOLY.

Mr.. EpIroR-On the 23d inst. the Union
contained lengthy and labored article, the
purpose of which seemed to be to convince
the legislature of this state, or. at least Sena-
tor Webster and Representative Coe, (which
would be the same thing, as far as passing
the bill is concerned) that the Sears bill
ought to pass. A very considerable portion
of the article was devoted to the biography
of Mr.. Sears, and the military exploits of
General Grant, of Vermont, the partner of
MrSears but what all this has to with the
matter, we people of Camden can't perceive.
We are willing to admit that "Mr. Sears
lived in the first house built in Moline =
that he has built several dams. &c. &c. that
IL. A. Grant, formerly lawyer of great
promise in Vermont" went to the war that
he was good general; and that he bears an
honored name, if that win please those who
are seeking to monopolze and lay under
contribution all of Rock River, from its
mouth to Sterling. But when we admit
these things do they really constitute any
reason why the legislature should pass an
act which will do great injustice to our place
and injure thousands of acres of land on the
Rock River bottoms? We cannot so view
