The Kentucky election has
shown that the democratic party
of the southwest is strong, united,
powerful, and devoted to the main
tenance of the Federal Constitu-
ton in its original purity of pur-
pose, letter, and spirit. It must
be animating in q great degree to
the democrats of Ohio who are
now in the canvass for the election
in that State. Increase the ma
iorities. Arouse the people. Unite
the party. Go to the polls for the
Constitution, the rights Of the
State, the prosperity, peace, and
union OF the sections. Fight the
radical party on the great princi-
Piles of government, and by no
means put in peril democratic sue
cess by any side issues about cur
rency. Don't permit the radical
party to hide its crimes under pa
per money, and seek to divide the
democracy, that Grant, the negro,
the corruptionists, the carpet-bag-
gers, the usurpationists, the " force
bill" bandittisberidans may over
throw constitutional liberty in this
country. This is the solemn in
junction, the prayer of every pa
triot in the United States to the
democracy of Ohio. Follow Ken
tuokv, take courage, and abide the
times Of regeneration. Common

ton from our wharves, In insur-
ance, commission, conveyance, la
Dor, drayage, warehousing and
COMPRISING, any one can easily
estimate. Yet considerable as It
is, it sinks into comparative utter
insignifcance, when we regard the
general ruinous losses in every de-
partment of business originating
in similar causes, namely: the
want of railroad communication to
Northeastern and Middle Texas.
From stocks of merchants in
store to-day in our city, compared
with the amount several years
since, it is safe to affirm there is a
decline of from fifty to sixty per
cent, and with this falling off In
stocks In merchandise, as your en-
lightened board will admit, has
come greatly diminished profits to
our insurance companies, diminu-
ton of rents TO the extent of thirty
to fifty per cent, reduction of sala-
ries, discharge Of employees, and
universal prostration andsufering.
Challenging a contradiction Of
these selt-evident statements which
all recognize to be true, and pro-
claiming our confident convictions,
are that the enterprise of connect
ing by a first-class railroad our
city with the north of our own
Commonwealth and the northeast
ern counties of our sister, Texas,
will not only restore to US much of
our alieuated commerce and di-
minished prosperity, but will do 50
without the necessity of any mans
sacrificing a single dollar for we
sincerely believe we are able to
construct a road of the very best
character at a cost that will enable
it under faithful management to
pay regular and reasonable diVi-
dends to its stockholders in return
for their Investment.
We ask no gifts from our citi-
zens or from our public institu-
tions we disdain to regard the
installment of support already ex-
tended to this great undertaking
MS money thrown away, for which
no adequate return can be ex-
pected. On the contrary, we con-
scientiousIy believe this road will
be great memorial-of the success
New Orleans can command if her
own children will only be true to
their mission.
Earnestly inviting the attention
of your honorable board to our
application for your friendly pecu-
mary aid cooperation, I have the
honor to be, very respectfully
yours, E. B. WHEELOOK,
