Mr. Gum hoped that moderation
would prevail lie thought the John

Justice between themselves and the

that both moderation and wisdom would

resolution thv special order Tor NCducs-
day at noon.
MIR Post thought MIR, Otuuu and the
other gentleman took a position that was
ukvua hundred years ago. When our
iurriathvrs were dclibcrating To- east oh
the woke ui allegiance 10 England, some
said tu wait, tu delay, and had their ad-
vice been followed, We would now bo
under the itrt uf a British Ming.
Every DELAY here Is dangerous
every day passed without action may
be- fatal Wcarv here surrounded 10y
and other almost Irresistible
influences in behalf ut TINS railroad,

irIuy their action. The mouth piece at
the Baltimore aud ONO railroad was
hrinre our senate twice and what did hc
SAY. Why hc said, You are power
less '' and what are YOU going To- du
about IL. Now, MIR Speaker, wc pro-
pose 10 show what W. can du, hy adopt
iug this resolution.
Mr. iulkvTsuU was IN favor ui
also. lic Was uu particular
friend ut the railroad aud would vote
Tor th,1 resolution should other con

measure u, Importance and could not

could hurl the IusinuatIuu back into

pr. Logan was GLAD to hear the scutl.
mvuts expressed hy thc gentleman from
Wayur. and thought they would com
mend themselves L. every gentleman
upuu the iiuur who VAS not wrought Up
o. a pitch ut frenzy upon this question.
Mir Post interrupted tp ask whether he
was friend yl this resolution. br.
Logan replied that he would answer the
question IN the course ut his remarks

their wrongs, hut It would be Do such
thing The true result would be a long
aud expensive series ut litigation, dur
iug which the ulteS would he no lOwer
and the unjust discrimination no less.
Mr. Holt dld not expect anything bet
ter frlm Ohio county than hc had heari
from Dr. Logan, as he knew they
would oppose the resolution. Tie
thought the remarks 0i that gentleman
would he an right II there was nothing
behind them o. The Baltimore and
