It "wil greatly enhance value of every species of property; it will enable all producers to obiain increased prices and a certain market lor all their products, and give them their supplies at reduced raus from what lhey are now paj-in. It gives every man in the county a choice between a southern and an eastern market every day in the year. It will open new branches of trade, and manufactures. It will develope the hidden rich es of our soil and our mines. It ill furn-u emp'oyincxit for all who desire to labor; it will disburse a lar ge ntno-mt of money the whole length of our county, and stimulate our whole population to activity and enterprizc.

And all without costing the county a single dollar. All that is wanted is to vote the loan. The company agree to pay theinterest until the road is completed, and then the dividends will, doubtless, be double the 8 per cent, interest on the county bonds, as the very lowest estimate of dividends on stock is" 134 percent; Col. Wagtey one of the directors, stated in a public meeting in this ehy', when he was last here, that he would not lake any mans guarantee of 20 per. cent pr ennuin dividends on his slock.

Hence, such paying stock always commanding a par value ifi market and often a premium, could at any time be sold for enough to take up the county bonds. Now is tlie time when farmers desire to dispose of their grains but it is utterly rn-? possible lor them to thip to martcei. Wheat in St. Louis now commands over a dollar a bushel, but what good does that do our farmers? It is so of all other crops; they cannot take the advantage of markets because they cannot reach them-The annual loss to the producers of this county every year, from this cause, is more than the Whole loan asked for.

Cur Candidates 'The Democratic party of Rock Island! county, by its regular ciiosen delegates froin each precinct, met in the Court House in tliis city on the 15th day of October und presented fur the consideration of the i fiee.nen of the the ticket wineli stands at the head of this column. YYe venture to soy from the organization l.timil nountv to the nrcsenl dav iio ticket lias ever been presented to the people that is so eminently desurving an election as "this; As a whole it cannot be matched by any combination of names like ly to be pres-eiited for the suffrages of the people. It is a combination of talent, in-tegriij-, and uprightness rarely found in the Humiliations of any parly. As individual, no man on the ticket can be assailed upon any unless it is because he is a Democrat. This is the only show, of opposition that can be made to the ticket, or to any man on it.

It is, then, the imperative duty of every Democrat to rte all honor atilB exertions to secure the election of the ticket. A large portion of the freemen of the county are personally acquainted with al' the men in nomination, and need no urging to work hard to secure their 'election. But our county is filling up so rapidly, and there tre so many new voters every year, that it may not be improper to make, a brief statement in regard to the history of each candidate for the suffrages of the people: For County Judge: JOHN M. GOULD of Mollne. Mr.

Gould is of. the well known firm of Dimock Gould, of Furniture and Paxils, at Molinc. He was born in Pierraont, Grafton count yi N. tht of February, 1822, and is therefore, 31 years of age. He has been a resident of this for nine years has been a justice of the peace for two year, has been, pl.iced in various responsible and honorable positions by his neighbors, the luties of which he -has always dis- lu "manure nccepiance or uie people.

He was a delegate to our fast state convention, and was one of its most active and useful members. lie has always been a democrat of Ihe most firm and reliable sort, inever had an "ism" of any and always voted he regular ticket. i lie is not what may be called a politician, nor an office-seekerr He did nol de- ire the honorable pbsiiion in which he is is now placed by his friends, 'but' if al- would liave preferred' to remain in the ranks and work mure heartily for the sue- cess of any other than his modesty will now i.ltow lnm to work for himself. To a largo experience in the affair of the woild, a clear and quick judgment of the of the actions and motives of men, and a 'thorough and accomplished business, cduca-! lion, he Unites ihe manners and bearing ofj an agreeable A Jhorougli me- chnnie, and hard-working mail 'himself, he knows the waiits aul the riglilV of all who earn their bread by the sweat of! the brow, and possesses a firmness ot character to assert J'hd maintain the of all. His excellent business and rigid hiibits of econoiy, point hiin out i as precisely ihe man our county need for i I i sheriff of the, county.

He was 12 years of ik pence, and at different times held various county ana town ora Since he has been in county en a justice oF the peace for three ces lias been ilis tnorongn pvnpriencs itl resuonsio-e ofn.u avians' he has occupiedt him to dischnrge acceptably to the jeop tl.k nf. lice for which he is in nomination. Mr- Kistler1 was born in Westmore land county, Ta in 1803, and is fifty years old. In 1830 be came to this county, and was one of the pioneers of Buffalo Prairie. Then that whole section was a wiWerness.

Jlr. K. has lived to see ,1 oloom i.Ke a rose. He is one of the, moot industrious, hard-working and farmers in our county. Some yrars otfa he held the office of county coimisioneHn tlnscun-ty, the duticsf which he in an able maimer.

The promptness and energy' wiiA w-hicli he manages! his own business, -1 a sure guaranty uf his ability to ifve the public. No man bossesses in a liigher degree the attributes of one of na urc's noblemen thai! "old John Kisller," as he is called, ike will make a verv efficiciit and worthy officer. For Count; Clerk: DR. ALBERT M. tOOP-fof Camden.

Dr. Lrop is a native of Elmira, Chemung N. and is 37 years of age. lie was educated in Chenango N. and is a licentiate of the N.

York State Medical Society. From 1S40 to 1850 he was engaged in the practice of his profession in Elkland, Tioga coiintyt tlie latter jwrt of which titne he was commissioned as a justice of ihe peace for said county. For sometime previous to his emigrating to this state, lie was the able editor of the Sentinel, a sterling democratic paper published in Tioga Fa. Since 1850 he has been a resident of this state. I His first stopping place was at Galena, where he remained for short time.a'nd then came to Dr.

Loop is possessed of nh Cicellent education, of agreeable and accomplished manners, is a line book-keeper, and a beautiful lie is a man of sterling moral worth, feels a deep interest in the cause of education, and in the' improvement' and rosperity of our county. We trust the freemen of the county will place him in the position he is so well qualified to fill. For Jlssessor and Treasurer: ROBERT T. SHAW el Edging! Shaw, of Full on county, in this stale. He was born in Licking county, 1822, is 31 years old.

Ilis father came from Maine in 1815, settled in Ohio. In 1S36 the family moved to Illinois, and settled in Mercer county. Mr. S. was then about 15 years old.

In 184G he came to this county, where he has since resided. He is well and favorably known in the county, having been engaged in various places as a school teacher. A better judge of properly of all kinds, or more responsible or talented man, is'not often presented for a public office. He is'an excellent boolc-keeper, a superior penman, and eminently qualified for the office for which he is a candidate. Ilis slerlino- in- upriglit and honest charaeter'i are qualifications not to be ovcrlookti in a candidate for the iinporta nt ollioe of Treasurer and Assessor.

For County Survvor: AMOS STILLMAN of Rock Island. Mr. Stillmax was born in the state of New York in 1810, aud is 43 years of age. IBs father was an officer in Gen. Harrison's army, and was killed in the war of 1812, leaving young Slillmm an orphan.

He received his first lessons in surveying from JuthVe Phelps, of N. went to Toledo, Ohio, in 1S37, and to Adrian, Michigan, in IS3S. While there, in 1839 lie Was appoimed county' and village sur- Yeyor, and electcd to the office by the peo ple Ii'vJ' lUk Island, and. soon after went out to Panama, S. America under G.

M.Tulloii) as engineer on the great Panam i Railroad. He set the first stakes for cuttings and embankments oil the first division of that road, and saw the first pile driven. While at Panama, engaged in the laborious duties' of his profession, his health was so impaired that he was obliged to resign his place, und return to bis home. Since his return he has so far recovered his health as to be able to pursue the business he has chosen. He has acted as sur- vei'or, city during the past year, a11 10 le- entire, acceptance of We not intend to disparage tho abilities member -of his -profession, when vve we believe: him to be the most and ucciMnplished surveyor we 'ac ill the county.

L3gi3latur3 Extra S3ssion.

The jress of this state have generally be6n diseusing the propriety of an extra session of the Legislature, the. coming infer. We have placed on the outside of our pi per this week, an article from the CAicagol Democrat, upon this subject; the sentiments of which we believe are fully eiuioi sail by this community. If- thee has ariseriy in this part of the state, any "extraordinary for an exJra session, it has, not come to our knowledge. We.

know not why in extraordinary occasion could not be manufactured every year, as well as this, and thiis annul the provision of our constitution which provides for biennial sessions. Those persons who are generally most clamorous for fin extra session have some private ends to accomplish, some old humbug ciaim they want- allowed some "poor relation" they want an office for, or some chartered monopoly lhey want the people to help keep on its legs. We are not advised of any parties in our vicinity are interested in furthering any of the pafr iotic objects' named above, but the are in preventing them all. They prefer not to be taxed for the support of people who cnu't support themselves. Ve have noticed a letter from Lt.

Gov. Koerner, in favor of an extra session, in which, we have not been ajjle to discover any more important reason for the fneas- ure than "to complete, at the earliest possible period, the railroad system of our followed by an elaborate argument in fa-vor of granting a charter for a railroad from Tern Haute In IlliHfiUfnuMi. nrid hi r. i i favor of amending the charter of the Bell- ville and Murubvsboroti2li II. It." Co.

i Ve believe jJudge Knjerner lives at Bell ville and was formerly editor of a paper there.) Now, we do not wish to say a word for or against granting the spoken of, nor dinending the other charter, but we hardly think the whole state would deem these two purely local matters of so "extraordinary" importance as jQ call an extra session of the legislature. 5 It will require some time and money to buihl the railroads already chartered, and we do not think the great industrial interests of the slate will suffer materially if another batch is dth-yed until the regular session, Another reason B5ig, 'Koerner 'fox an extra session, is, that "by recent decision of our Supreme Court, the Mayors in all the cities incorporated under the general law, have been held to have no judicial powers under our constitution, whereby it has become impossible, in some of the most important citjes in our State, Beltvilte included,) to enforce a single city ordinance." Any matter in which the whole state is interested, such as war, pestilence, famine or bankrup'cy', would be deemed such an "extraordinary as the constitution contemplates, but the carrying out the designs of speculators, et id bmne ftmus, is in'oiir opinion, an "extraordinary occasion" requiring the whole slain squander-its hard earned funds, or spend a winter of dissipation -it 'Springfield. We 'should deem i( extraordinary if the governor, should alhiw any such thing to be done. km nope hoxes will be opened in each precinct noxf Tuesday a hat uhe lers may eoi.li ibute somelliinrr the Wa.shington A dime from every inhabitant would raise this ruly national structure to its cunpletioti. ttrl mi ino wiii reluse a dimei Tor so noble anj object Four.
