York and other ports of the Union. This
project" the writer continues "from q
financial point Of view, is the most stupsn-
dous ever submitted to an American Con-
gress, and what was given In I'D Of the
construction of the Pacific railways will
appear small in comparison With what will
be required for this. There is but little
doubt that a sweeping measure Of this kind
will be passed within a few years, &c.
Years passed after this ''stupendous meas
ure" was recommended; and even at this
writing no definite plan has been matured
for the execution of the great plan. But
in the meantime the farmers of the North
west, the planters of the South and the
agriculturists of the country at large have
been provoked by thetyranny of an obnox-
ious common carrier system to rise in their
political might and demand from their
recreant representatives that the very
method recommended by the President for
their relief shall be enacted into law. -s
Again, following the primitive rule Of
regulating the nations finances in the came
manner that the business Of an individual
is conducted, he recommended a return to
solid specie-p paying bases for the money
transactions of the Government. Seeking
instruction from every source, and not dis
claiming advice from any quarter. he sifted
the good from the bad Of the nancy pro-
jects submitted, and in the end evolved IN
original system which emhraces a radical

many oficials-the only proof which the
Times had-was offered to three or four
other journals before it was taken to the
Office Of the Tins. We recall these things
TO the memory Of the angry English editor
that hemaN if be can, profit by the lesson
which they should teach him. We desire
to see him mako all the Improvement pos.
sible, and shan contrfsate all We canto his
education in American politics. Let him
carefully read The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,,
and he will be all right in few years.

AN IMPORTANT PROJECT,
by Which Our Market VIII Gain from
Six TO Eight thousand Bales
OF Cotton.

A petition Is now circulating in this
city asking for the sum OF four thous.
and dollars for the construction of a
bridge aud causeway over the East fork
of the Trinity, fifteen miles northwest
of Dallas, on an air line to Rockdale.
BY this means it is proposed to secure
to this market from six to eight thous-
and bales of cotton, which, as the mat
ter now stands, is diverted to other
towns. The names of several of our
most prominent merchants have al
ready been obtained to the petition,
and the balance We think will not hes
itate when called upon.
The construction Of the bridge will
open to us not only the cotton, but
greater portion of the trade of the coun-
ties of Hunt and Rockdale, and a
large portion of Collin, Rains, Kauf-
man and Hopkins.
The completion of this project, 1t
is then seen, Is worth to lis several
hundred thousand of dollars, which,
when 1t can be commanded at so small
an outlay, should awaken at once the at
tention of all earnest citizens. The
span of the structure is estimated at
ninety feet, with approaches ON either
side sixty feet each, with road bed
fourteen feet wide. A causeway will
only have to be built ON this side,
which will be a mile and half in
length, the people of the town OF Rock
dale and county STIMULATING to build
this without any cost to Dallas, and to
raise one thousand dollars in addition,
towards the building of the bridge.
Let the citizens Of Dallas bestir them
selves in matter of so vast q benefit
to them.
