1t should be the constant efforts of every de-

Resol0ed, That while we would maintain and
preserve the sacredness of the public debt of
the State and nation and the gradual payment
of the same according to the letter and spirit
of the contract; we are also in favor of the re-
duction of the burdens of taxation, internal and
external, so far as is consistent with the public
credit and wise regard to all the industrial
interests OF the country, and we are opposed to
fostering one branch ofindustry at the expense
of another, but hold that the burdens and the
benefits should be equally distributed to all.

The GRAND TRUNK-I have recently re-
turned from long journey to the West, pass
ing both ways over the whole line OF the Grand
Trunk Railway. have nowhere seen a better
road than this; in all the divisions where the
rails have been relaid the cars run smoothly
and without rattle or noise Very soon the
entire line will be relaid, and will then be in
perfect condition. The stations are substan-
tally and handsomely built of blue lime stone,
and are far superior to the majority of the sta
tions on the other Western roads.
The quantity of business offering to the
Grand Trunk is almost without limit; it would
be safe to say that it will always be up to the
full capacity of the road, even with double
line of rails. Milwaukee has now become a
shipping port of importance, nearly or quite
equal to Chicago, and the course of transit
from that port is by water to Port Sarnia,
where every facility is found for transhipment
from the vessels to the cars of this road. The
interests of this city require that the Grand
Trunk should be encouraged and sustained in
all proper ways. ND.
