cam do it. The iowa Legislature have
passed every law necessary to extend
the road to the Missouri, and have
hedged about the Directors in such
way that it is hoped and believed on
no legal quibbles or technical injunc-
tons can delay the progress of the work.
Soon after the road reaches Council

But, to their credit be it spoken, the
officers of the Northwestern Railway
have interposed no obstacle to'the pro-
gress of'the Rock Island. The opposi-
ton comes entirely from Wall street.
We may add, az an item OF interest in
this connection, that the Chicago, Burl-
ington 4 Quincy stockholders have
recently voted to loan the necessary sum
Of money to the Burlington 4 Missouri
River Railroad to complete the road to
its proposed connection with the Union
3 Pacific. This work will probably be
completed before The Rock Island extern

passes presents fewer difficulties Of en-

/ THE DUTY. OF REPUBLICANS. - An
exchange says, pertinently, that the,
democratic politicians are laboring with
a zeal and unscrupulousness hitherto UNI
paralleied To secure success in the COM
ing presidential election. with view of
restoring the old order of things in our
government, and giving the rebel ele-
ment complete supremacy, as in the
good old days of chivalry. We know
that eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty that the republican party must
organize its forces, must arouse to dtuy,
must work with all its energy to main-i
tain republican institutions and assert
the supremacy of freedom. The cam
paign must be an earnest one; loyal
men and women too, must exert them
selves with the full power of their might
to uphold the integrity Of the republic.
| We sincerely believe that the restoration
of the democratic party to power at this
time, with its copperhead leadership and
its affiliations and sympathy with the
rebel element at the south, would vir-
tually destroy all that was gained by the
triumph of the Union over the rebellion.
