GEN, BTILE'S BPEEOIH, Gen. Btiles, of Chicago, mado along, eloquent by draswbridgos, address In opposition to_ the bridge. e said tho railvonds would not Lo con- tent with & Dbridgo ot Detroit; thoy would soon ask for ona ot Goose Island, onoe at &t. Olair, and at Port Huron. The building of o bridge nt Detroft meant building many other bridges elsowhero neross the river aa tho future interests of tho railroad companies may require. 1t meant a slight interfevenco with veasel-inter- cats nor, becoming more sorious herenfter, and ending in the practical DESTRUCTION OF THAT INTEREST atlost. Ho eaid that a tunnol would outlasta Lundred bridges and interfero with no rights of others, and that & tunnel was practicable Chief- Tugineer Chesbrough had declared, though he Bai :I‘ ‘would cost more thon it was at first sup- posed.: THEY ONLY ASK JUSTICE. ‘Tho vesgol-interest mede no demand which wes unreagonable. That intereat upon our lakes hed doveloped nnd sustainod iteelf; it had neither souzht nor accoptod subsidies nor land- srants. Combivotions with it were nos sought. t made no combinations. The resources of the great nation nover had boon taxed to sipport it. It bnd put no tinted bonds upon the market to Qupe tho orodulous ; it kad liad no Jay Cooke, and no Henry Clowes lind lobbied for it, Neither Congroas nor the Legislaturcs had formed rings to control it. It had pooled no receipts; had {loated o financial bubble. IT HAD CAUSED NO PANICE, It had sought their patronage, and atriven to deservo it. It offercd no bribos, made nothreuts ; asked only that tho people ot Detroit, and indeed the wholo great Btato of Michigan, would not overlook the respectful considezation of the peril which now threatened it. 3R, BOMEYN'S REMARKA, Mr. Romoyn 8aid tho question was not n oity or State question, but one of national importance, to be sottlod by national legislation, Tho river touched the "shores of o foreign country, and bore on its bosom ton million tons of freight annually, while all raflrords entering Now Yori only brought thero 1,000,000 tons. he rond that Bought to build this bridge car~ ried from Chicago lees than enc-cighth of the corn, onts, whent, and flour in o year that was carrled down the river during the months of nuvigation, Hoalso srgued that water compe- tition kapt railways ncar moderation in the mat- ter of charges. Ho claimed thore was NO NECESSITY ¥OR TILE DRIOGE but to give prestige to tho Michigan Central Railrond, Ho eaid tho ronson why froight wos blocked on tho railrond at this point was thut two oy throo years ago thoro was sovere cold westhor in Cannda, which mado it impossible to Liaul cars over tho Great Western Rond, It cost about 66,000 yearlyto trausport freight and passengens over tha main lino, and bo gavo tigures showing that the cost, intercat, nttend- ance, and ropairs to the_ bridgo would be 9450, 000 annuully, which great differance must come out of producers of 1lichigan, He believed & tunnel much the most fensiblo plan. A VOICE PIOM THE GRANGERS, Qol, Buyliss, in bebalf tho Gruvgers of Michi- an, theulied the Convention for tho courtesy of tho 'Grangers being permitted to take port in the discussion, ‘fhe question was tho most im- portant to thelr country he ever kuew, 1t con- corned producors and conswmers, A bridgo over the river hote enhancoes tho price of grain to a consumer in tho East, bocnuse overy ex- yeuse is ourofully added to tho price chargod to the purchusor for consumption. - He sid ko paid twico as much per bushel (rom Lansing to Dotroit a8 they did from Chicugo to Dotroit, beceuve of the lack of competition. The river mubt bo bridged, and to biidge the river is to dam it, nud to dam it is to kill competition. ‘THE FARMERS WON'T 6TAND OPPRESSION, Ho would say, a8 & farmer and o producer, that if the Contral Railroud oppressed Michigan farmers, tho farmers had the remedy in their own liands, and would apply it. Mr, Chedwick, of Port Huron, eaid the quos- tlon of tho bridgo s not only national, but inter-national, and tho consent of tho Dominion was to be gaiued a8 well as that of the United States, ‘The bridgo, if built, would be for the direct purpose of injur- ing the navigation of tho lakes, aud evory dollar mude by the bridgo would bo wrested from the veusol-ownors, At the olose, the Becrotary explained that the Domivion Government had “given ite convent to tha brldge, and it only romainad to gain thecou- wont of Congross snd the Michigan “Legisiature.
