' blinded by personal interest and deceiv- "d by 1I19 guide of private gain. fL At the nrescnt time llieie is a nroiect on foot for th relief of the distressed in Kansas, which w fear is of this J- lind. Tluit our people need aid, need it badlyanil quickly, is beyond doubt; tfbut the'idea of building railroads out of the product of tlio benevolent sympa -4.4 thies of dispeople of tiie States towards their brethren in the territory, we think is a mistake. Like a taper ton'u, it looks Hell on paper, . and, sounds well in speech; but it has to our mind a certain lok of fabulousness vnhicu-destrors . ..'be charm of its exteiior show, vj We do not wish to be understood as doubting the puiity of motive of those who are iho originators of the move ment; we give them credit for all the benevolent feelings they profess and feel; but it appears tus a prilpable a .day-light, that private interest has given shape and contour to these emotions. nud led them out in the direction they havt- taken. t 1 iJ -, At the first blush it struck us thai the construction of a riulroad at this 4 jisno in Kansas as a benevolent mea- .tnre, was decidedly .1 good thing; but a t further examination of tho scheme has . , utirely- dissipated these first favorable -. jmprcasions. The scheme is v ideally j j one that has been hastily- conceived and ,ow very lame for the accomplishment of lH;hs present proposed object. .,,,.(111111 nrst piacc, me extci location 'of the road proposed to be made, is probab'y not yet determined upon the route still to be surveyed and settled. It will take lime to do this. In the next place, the money is to be raised by the flow process of subscription to carry forward the enterprise; and, if these two are accomplished, then noticw mast be given fur hands to come for ward and work. i It is no more than reasonable to sup- . pose that at least three months will be e consumed in these preliminaries, with v tht. utmost speed that can be made, be ? fore vtork oan be commenced in earnest : .say to the beginning of February; and by that time farmers nil! need to ,; begin preparations for the "pring work upon their lands; so that this class of ", citizens, who probably- need aid the worst, will not be benefited by tho nr rangeinetit at all. Dut pupposo tlin preliminaries were aheady over; the road definitely located and the funds in hand to proceed; how " many of the settlers in the territory '-could find employment ! Probably '" about five hundred, certainly not more than one thousand. Many would be i prevented hy distance, others by the greater need of home-cares, so that, the fewoPt number could be benefited, and V the great body, vho could not avail than- " selves of ths qfer of labor on the road uould be left to stij'er for it is a well known fact that huge schemes of be- 'ncvckiico direct attention away from 1 i smaller ones; and the word going out that a hundred for two or livo hundred 'as the" case may be) thousand Jdollars ' bad bren raised to givo employment to suffering;" and the railro.td would fur nish him an excuse for ''shutting up his bowels of mercy." We ere now satisfied that the project will work evil and not good to those for whom it is designed as a blesiing; and that the project, like ail others hastily conceived, has only been viewed from one stand-point; and then the colored glasses of self-interest have deceived the beholders and led them after a de lusion, like the mirage of the desert. How could it be possible for men to leave their families and go fiom fifty to two huudied miles to work on a rail road ? The exnense of getting back and forth would use up all their wages; and if they went and tented out, their families would suffer. possibly polish, in their absence. The tiuth is, the plan will not work; and the sooner it is abandoned the better, 'it is a mistake to suppose that railroads can be built out of chaiity; and it is another very had mistHke to locale and construct a road hastily. If, however, a few hundred men can be employed 011 a railroad all right; but let it be done privately, so as not to iutcrfcie with the general efforts made for the relief of our peonle. If our ci'izens can get aid at home, so as to have their time to prepare for next year's labors, Kansas will reap moie benefit from that prepiration than from the railroad proposed to be built. We think by far the better plan is.io let benevolence be benevolence, and ruil roads be railroads the mixing, wo fear will onlyboproductive of a hybrid. Qur people will do well to place no re Itunce ichatever in this scheme'and.iheu if it really docs amount to any thing, all the better. We make these remarks to awaken reflection and thought; not to threw any impediments in the way of private or public enterprises; and especially nol to divert any supplies from our midst that would come in this time of need. Let wisdom prevail and guide; and in the very expressive language of the old adaire: "Lt every tub stand on it own bottom." The Puodate JuDQEsmr.
