And )et for our rail road—needed as badly as an) road in the State is needed---the LewinLurg, llentre and Spruce Creek- the Stale has no aid whatever to give. Now, why should we be 101 to build our own roads, and get to market as best we can with our products - and the citi aces of - counties h itig north and west of us, be aided by the State in eeltug g theirs out.? Will some of the,pn r. als HI) loud in their approbation ofthis measure tell us? We know that there was an effort made to secure a little assistance for our road,—the result shows that that effort wan a failure, suit it will not do for them to say that it was not asked for. If it was right to aid either of the routes that received aid, was it right to refuse aid to the one, the lion est,•industrious, over-'axed farmers of Penns and Brush valley in ibis county, and Buffalo valley in Union county are trying to build? We leave these ques tion for those who passed, and those who approved of the hilt to answer.
