thize with the people of the West in
their want Of railroad facilities, and
pledge ourselves to use every available
means to secure the early completion
Of their projected lines.
RCsOireCL, That the Republican party
having despoiledthcS State of millions OF
| dollars heretofore appropriated for
railroad purposes, is unworthy Of con-
! tidenCe, and that experience iustifies

tration of our internal improvements,
its leaders would again prove recreant
! to the sacred trust, and would divert
the public fund to their private pur-
| poses.

nj advantages of the children North
