opponent of a genuine Pone itailroad

'a nullity. So long as the Republican

itself on ono side or the other 'et this
question, tide Seziatoewak it liberty to
act in referee= MR as he pleased. It
was in the name case as the queition of

or st Protectionist, as he Wilt But the
last State CanvenUort at Williamsport
adopted FMedem in Hallooed Badding
as a plank' in the Republican Platform,
and, so far, has bound its reprieettalives.
How, we concede that if st y On* grin :
ciple la involved it 0. question no
man cut be concluded by the action of
his fellows. 'De is bound - to Make his'
conduct thereon accord with his indi

question. It has no absolute moral
character, Imt ,
is purely a question of
political economy. It falls exclusively
within the legititusti domain of Policy
or Expediency. In party fealty, there.

his ofilelal conduct to the judgment of
the Conientiot. Be* probably will not..

Another; view remains to be :taken:
The Republican party fast' yes: promised
the people of this State a Free Railroad
Lui in cue it was rmitn'entrtuted with
power: This was one of the definite
pledges on which it was. trusted. It
will shortly be demonstrated whether
that promise was made in good faith or
no:. If the law demanded and prom
ised shall be enacted; all will be welL
What if it shall fait? More, if Retail:mei

If se, that delusion may as *.Ube put
aside, and that right speedily.
Them are indications that theDemo
cystic as auch, means to commit
itself to the monopoly; that.even Mr.
