is believed that its united and ell
cient action would give the south
this enterprise. The entire south,
in and out of congress-, is united on
it, and, though we know of but one
Kentucky congressman who pro-
poses TO vote against the bill, we
have to complain, and the state and
south have to complain, Of the in
difference thus far manifested by our
representatives, We are far from
undertaking to over-persuade them
against their Judgment and their
voIition. We certainly have no
idca of popping any lash over their
heads. But they ought to be adj
vised rs to the true issue that 1t is
one of imminent and overwhelming
import; that it will be made all
over Kentucky and all over the
south that the south is bound to
have this road and means to see that
no man-however shining his merits
or signal his services-shall mis-
represent us y second time,
