ter TO members Of our state legislature asking then
OF his canal scheae Mr. HAwley seems to realiz
that his efforts in behalf Of the enterprise dom
amount to much In congress and therefore ne want
through with the 50b."
sMr Hawley seems to imagine that his futnr
success as politician depends upon his sncces
with the canal scheme, and he is naturally ANTON
to have all the aid he can muster. Copies Of thu
| trtcf for signatures"
And after Mr.. Hawley had introduced
The bill. the Union sneered at it by say
ing:
I'm Introducing the (canaD bill after such long
oelay Mr. Hawley deserves little credit"
Here we have the Union as proof that
MIR. Hawley labored energetically. to ad-
vance the canal, besieging the legislature at
home, and sending memorials all over the
district for the signatures of his constitu-
ents: and itmight have added that he ap-
piled to the Governor Of Iowa for help, and
resolution was thus secured from the
Iowa Legislature in its behalf.
The Davenport Gazette says:
sit is a wonder that Mr. Hawley was able to get
the bill fayorably reported from the committee with
the leading paper Of his district published in his
own city, Iesolutely opposing it: This opposition
was carried TO the extent of sending marked copies
Of me Paper containing articles hostile TO the ca
nal TO the members of The committee IN Wqshing-
Throughout the whole OF last winter the Union
was doing its utmost to thwart Mr., Hawley and de-
feat the canal
And now the Union and Gen. Hender-
son give the cold shoulder to the canal by
the following announcement in Hender-.
sons organ:
Gen Henderson favors the National Govern
ment building comprehensive fe rIiot, rarwaS
confne the relief afforded to the people py 1oyerh-
ment exclusively to water ways Gen. heh'
derson believes in the National government cohtro-
troll" "''''
Summed up, the course of the Union is
about like this:
1t pretends to support the canal now, but
eight months ago it denouncedit as wild
scheme" on which millions were to be
wasted.
1t has been inconsistent and treacherous
heretofore. and it is fair inference that 1t
is seeking to be,ray the canal now The
only safe course for the friends of the canal
is to vote for Elliott. 1t is now pretty GER
tain that the Opposition will have 40 or
more majority in the next congress. Hen
derson, if elected, could not, therefore,
have the infence which Elliott could exert,
as Elliott would be with the majority and
Henderson with the minority. Every
friend of the canal every friend of cheap
transportation every friend of competing
lines and no monopoly should do their ut
most to secure the election of Gen. Elliott

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor of the Vermont Farmer
see by your paper OF March 9TH that
persons 10 our state are anxious 10 learn
facts, and to do something towards suppress
ing the influence of party rings. | congrat-
ulate them upon their irankness and the true
good feeling manifest relative to right men
in public trust. think we should seek for
II candidate that has been free from political
intrigue in any torm; one who dares to
stand alone for truth and principles sake,
having the good Of all in view rather than
iavoring a few. am aware that the rights
of many have been bargained away by po-
litical rings, and in order to get rid Of these
things do not know but they will have to
take the benefit of the bankrupt act )" for
they cannot pay all with offices who have
had the promise Of them.
In reply to questions asked, relative to

Initiation.

The man who owes a great deal Of mon
ey, the bankrupt in business, has occasion
to rejoice, for Congress seems bent on in-
fating the currency 10 the tune Of ferty mil
lions in other words, II proposes to say TO
every man who has a dollar, your dollar is
worth dollar and twenty cents and shall
pay that amount of debts. All of which is
very fine for The debtors. II would be finer
yet IL, instead Of forty, Congress gave uS
four hundred millions and wiped out 6fty
per cent. Of what every man owes. II isn't
so fine for the creditor who, having lent a
dollar, naturally wants dollar in return
or for the laborer who don't want prices in
creased twenty-five per cent. while his wag-
es are not increased; or even to the man
who is Just comfortably of, who neither Dor.
rows nor lends.
The scheme is wholly in the interest Of
the South and West, which owe money Ia
New England, and against New England
which holds notes of the South aud West
to a large amount.
The bill ought to be entitled, An act fol
the relief of bankrupts If passed, as II
seems likely to be, it will send the insnca
balloon up to height from which a SAFE
descent is impossible, and those of us who
live to see it strike the earth again viii
probably witness a panic compared with
which the one OF last fall was only an admo
nition-Mirror and Farmer.
