large meeting composed Of the most prom

Rcsolred, That it is the sense Of this

assist in improving in an cfeclual manner
our great national highway, the Ohio river
Resolcetl, That under the oppressive
measures embodied iu the present steam
boat law the interests of our commerce are
likely to be embarrassed and our citizens
taxed to an amount, in the way Of addi-
tional freight charges, far beyond what the
Government should impose upon any COM
munity, and that the law as it now stands
will fail to insure the preservation Of life
as it proposes to; therefore,
Resolred, That we, as citizens. call up

head and j. S. Graham, through o COM
mittee appointed BY the chair, to procure
the necessary aid from Congress, to i'm

prevail on Congress to throw open free to

cannot Justly be viewed as unreasonable.

OUR SAY.
CHAs. STODDARD

AS friend Stoddard has seen fit to become
severely personal in his remarks, we may
be pardoned for replying to few of them.
1t may not be out of place to remark that
it is matter of news to us that "on more
than one occasion legislative nomination
had been rendered him" OF course We
would not question his assertion, but we
might question the power of the person or
persons rendering the nomination, to fulfill
the contract and nominate him. for in this
the people, and not at the beck and nod of
a few wire-workers. We hope all will read
the paragraph beginning-"The sad truth
is, Dear HERALD" sc. He says in that,
that we are unable to rise to the level of
principle, aid explains his meaning to us,
verbally, to be that we worked for the rail
road tax. We claim we had as good right
to our opinions, though they favored the
tax, as Mr.. S. had to his, opposing it, and it
never entered our minds to condemn him
or any man for their opinions, though he
bears down upon us severely for ours.
Does Mr. StodGard think it would have
tended more to Republican unity" for US
to hsve taken the other side of the ques-
ton and fought the tax. Then we would
have agreed with him, but is that a fair off
set to the very large majority in favor of
the tax. We think not, and cannot see
how the unity would thus be preserved if
the party wished to divide on local sub
ject in which politics did not enter. Mr..
WEIGH is MIR. Stoddard's especial cham
pion, and yet after considerable fluttering
from side to side, he settled down and
worked for the tax. If the sin is so unpar-
donable in us, how is it with him? The
fact that he helped nominate and is now
working for Stoddard makes the sour
grapes, sweet He says the present man.
ayers of the HERALD are "Unable TO COM
prehend that men may sacrifice ease, COM
fort, inclination and private INTEREST," in or
der to vindicate principle" Friend
Stoddard, both proprietors of the HERALD,
forsook the lease" of a citizens life, the
comfort" of a pleasant home, and laid
aside their "private, pecuniary interest,"
for they were then receiving good wages
as printers, to wear the blue of Uncle
Sans private soldiers at $13 per month,
and this was done for principle. For over
three years we each partook of the "ease,"
comfort" and profit" to be found in
soldiers life, fighting the men who were
striving TO overthrow the Government, be-
cause the principles of the Republican party
the party you arc now striving to break
down-were about to triumph. So much
for our principle. AS for our future course,
Uncle Charlie, We shall work as we always
have done, for what zoe consider the best
interests of Mahaska county, and ask no
one to mould opinions for us. flour opin-
ions were so far wrong, why did not friend
Stoddard, who dearly loves to write, accept
our proposition, openly made, time and
again, to discuss his side of the question.
Our columns were open upon that subject.
