1t is useless to attempt to stay the III arch
of the spirit Of manifest destiny. The Anglo
Saxon race is destined to predominant on ev-
cry section of arabic ground under the juris
diction of our laws and it is merely an idle
sentiment Of humanitarianism that raises OBJ
jections to the opening up of this prolific
country to the adventurous spirit Of our peo-
pie. The mere agitation Of the subject has
directed the attention of many to this desi
rable region, and each succeeding day will
develop the fact that the sooner all restric-
tons are removed to the freedom of emigra-
ton, the better. It is not to be expected
that a country presenting SO many advanta-
ges can long remain under the exclusive do
minion of any other than class of men who
are capable Of developing it-harmonizinz its
institutions with the progressive spirit Of the
age, and affording an outlet to tho surplus
population of the States :

DALLAS, TEXAS, March 2S, '73.

DaLhho, ih-NhSi 4huiCii 90 io'
EDITORS HEaALD: / see an ar
ticle in your paper today; furthe
abusing the Central Railroad
This thing has become chronic il
Texas, and / know of no better rea
son assigned for it, than the fact
that we have had no other road in
the State worthy of abuse. I never
see q paper in tho State scarcely
that undertakes to show up any
thing to the credit of the Central
road; but on the other hand, arc
generally ready to tako sides
against her with all parties who
assail hcr, and there is and never
has been greater injustice done
that road, than in espousing the
quarrel, or rather supporting the
M. X. & Il. r. r. in her fight with
the Central. The Central road is
chartered to run to Red River, and
under that charter has tho exclu-
sive right to build a railroad, with
certain limits-say thirty miles to
Red River. The M. X. & r. r, R
has no charter extending their road
into Texas; but disregarding the
rights of tho Central, they pre-.
sumo to build q road, running it
parallel with the Central, to Den
nison, in this State, claiming no
other right for so doing, except
that they own the land. They
would, with the same propriety,
buy up tho right of way, parallel
with the Central to Houston, and
extend their road to that place.
1t strikes me that the M. X. & II.
Railroad presume on this proposed
unpopularity of the Central road
in doing this, and that tho people
will sustain them for that reason:
and the tendency being to do this,
| think we should consider this
subject more before passing our
opinions.
The people are suffering great
Inconvenience from the failure to
connect by these roads, and 1 un.
hesitatingly say that the fault is
in tho NJ. X. & T. Railroad. The
Central is perfectly right in refus-
ing to connect at Dennison, and
we ought to make the M. X. & II.
feel the consequences of their acts.
Let us do justice to our parties.
While on this subject would
say, that the Central road has done
more for Texas than any road wo
have ever built. She has built
more miles of road, and settled up
the country to support it at the
same time. She has charged high
rates, but the country was so thinly |
settled that this was necessary. |
AS for her soul, that is about as |
big rs any other corporation we
know of. She has accepted less
than some others are asking for. |

to return by the adoption Of q con.
stitutional amendment, leaving il
to the discretion of the Legislature
To him as the originator of the
policy when n member of the Log
islaturo, we are indebted for the
munificent school fund, tho State
possesses, in United States bonds
railroad bonds and the alter nate
sections of lands donated to rail
roads. But he is now, as he has
ever been, opposed to the donation
of monied subsidies to railroads
With his policy carried out this
would DO unnecessary and but for
the folly of the convention of
1869, it would never have been
thought of.
When q convention meets to
designate candidates of tho Demo-
cratic party for Governor, and
other State officers, the people of
this part of the State, with una
nimity almost without precedent,
will insist upon his nomination.
And, according to our information,
he is the choice of an overwh elm
ing majority of tho people in every
part of the State. The people look
to him to bring order out of chaos
to reduce their burdens; to redeem
the credit of the State and to guide
it in its onward progress to great
ness. And that they may not be
disappointed, it is important that
their wishes be expressed and made
manifest, and that steps be taken
in due time to carry thom out.
