THE HON. s. s cox ON GAG
LAWS-HLS GRANDFATHER A
VICTIM.

The Opera House in Newark was jam
med the other night to hear the speech
of Hon. s. s. Cox. Mr.. Cox said:
want free press, free speech, and no gag
laws. The right Of going and coming at
will. This is not practised in louisiana
nor anywhere in this country to-day.
From Maine TO the Gulf the Republican
party is a mass Of corruption. Now
come the protests from New Hampshire,
Maine, Indiana, and my own native
Ohio. Put your ear to the earth and
you'll hear the tramp Of the Democrats a
half million strong. The thunder is in
the SIX :, and has turned all the Radical
milk sour. Seventy years ago my grand
father was prosecuted in Monmouth
county for criticising President John
Adams. He was prosecuted under a Ere
linghuysen gag law, and the waves Of
time have thrown his defendant here to-
night to defend free speech.

Trying TO Kill the Canal

On the morning of the canal convention.
the Union put forth studied effort
to kill the canal project by representing
that the width of the canal is to be 100 feet
on the surface of the water and l32 feet at
the bottom. and a uniform depth of seven
feet The locks, % in number, each to be
$50 feet long by IS broad, and lift yes
sci weighing 1000 tons \ and cost
Sl2,4SO,9I0."
The twelve million nonsense of the Union
was well answered by Col tley, Of Dixon,
IN the convention, who said that the canal
thus referred to was not exactly the canal
contemplated by the bill now pending in
Congress. Under direction of Col. Ma
comb Mr.Low made an estimate OF a canal
60 feet wide, feet deep. and not the
grand ship canal that was contemplated
by previous survey. The project under
consideration costs, not $l2,0o0,O0o, the
estimate for the great ship canal, but less
than $4,0OO,0OO, This canal, however, will
allow the passage of boats bearing the
freight of AZ trains per day, allowing 2OC
tons OF grain per train.

The Rock Island Canal Convention

The credit of this manifestation of the
sentiment Of the people of the Northwest
is wholly due to J. NJ Allan, of Geneseo,
who has worked for the canal extension for
years, devoting considerable time and
money to the project. He has labored in
season and out Of season, and at last has
had the qualification of securing an expires
sion of public sentiment that cannot fail to
have influence in Congress.-R. l. Union.
This is exactly true. Maj Allan was
among the earliest friends of the canal and
has worked for years to develope what now
appears to be nearly unanimous senti-
ment for it. He may be said to be the
father Of the project and entitled to more
credit for working it up than any other
man

Old Papers.

Many things connected with the early
history of this county will be forever lost
unless file of some of the early newspa-
pers can be rescued from the old boxes,
trunks and garrets of some of the early
settlers. Since we came here, in 1851, we
have a complete fle-but of the papers
published here previous to 1851, none is
known to be in existence
We therefore ask the early settlers of
this county to hunt through their old
boxes, trunks, closets and garrets for any
stray copies of any paper published in this
county previous to 1851, and send them tC
US. We will get them bound in an endur-
ing form 50 that they can be preserved and
referred to by anybody who wishes to see
them.

We cannot but regret that an equally
emphatic expression in favor of national
freight railway from the West to the East
was not made.-R. l. Union.
Nobody but paid or interested advocates
of railroad monopolies regret it. We have
more railroads from West to Fast now
than are needed. And the more we have
the worse the people will be of-for the
railroads will all combine to extort such
rates as will make money, and the people
haye to foot the bills. The Logan railroad
scheme, which the Union advocates, con-
templates the most gigantic monopoly in
this country. Not single feature Of it is
in the interest of the people. The cana
project is the only genuine competitor OF
monopolies. Everybody can use the canal
and nobody can make monopoly of it.
