These quotations showed that with these
views Mr. Lincoln could not have offered E4O0,-

stated: Allow me to write Union a. the bot

say, is inspired by a spirit of

its progress are cognizant that it
rolls over its proselytes and

The Car of Juggernaut,

All news from the Creek council
is so far unfavorable to the ratifi.
cation OF the agreement. If there
was a hope of something better
the effort to defeat the agreement
might be in a measure reasonable,
but it is conceded by the intelli-
gent opposition that congress will
furnish the substitute, and, as
everyone knows, congress is a
blind agency. The substitute will
therefore be Influenced by a lobby
and il is a well known fact that
the lobbyist influence is for no in
terest that does not pay literally.
The poor white man, the poor In
dian and the poor negro are not
able to pay an expensive lobby;
the well-to-do business men are
too conservative to protect their
interests in far off Washington
with cold cash; they never have
attempted it. The substitute will
therefore be influenced by: The
bar, which means seas of litigation;
by the wealthy, which means a
measure for he rich; by the town
site boomer. which means swarms
of disreputable land sharks.
Petty selfishness has prompted
the main opposition to ratification.
An honest opening Of the country
means a certain burden for every
interest and this effort to defeat
the agreement is an attempt on
the part of the rich and well-to-do
to shirk their share of the burden
to the shoulders of the poor and
ignorant, and they are using the
