, From the Publid Ledger• 1 1 - he North Pennsylvania Railroad. MALICII CHUNK, July 16, 1853. We have headed our letter with the new corpor ate title which, it 18 said, is soon to be assumed by the Philadelphia, E:iston and Water Gap Reitman! Company, whose President, with the Chiet Engi neer and two of the Ditectois, A. S. Roberts and John Ely, Eqs., arrived at t h is place last nialit, 017 the 9rh into, those gentlemen left Waverly, at utmear.which their toad will connect wilt the N. Y. and Erie Railmatl, and, passing, thence down the proposed route, via Athens, Towaii,la. Tnulhan 'bock; Pinson. Wilkesharre. White Havan and Tette Haven, reached Mauch Chunk as above, high ly gratified with what they saw and heard. From 'this point the line continues down the Lehigh river to the Saucon valley, whence in turns fium the riv. su.aud takes a.direct line to the city. from the point where the main road first touches the Lehigh. route tot a principal branch road has been sur. veyed, via Easton, to the Delaware Water Gap, where several important railroads will converge. If Philadelphia ever expect to have and enjoy a leilmatl which shall penetrate the great north coun try, she must build the main litre of the North Pennsylvania Railroad, without hesitation or delay This road he Cen tr al may be Pe n made, ns) Inv tor ort an ia h . and lake purple- CL4 is al. reody become for west and boo t h -west porpusee A ciff, to become truly great, must hemmed on all sides and prepared to challenge competition at all points. The northern half of Pennsylvania has within its bounds the resources of A greatCornmon srealth. Western New York excels, in popula ion and -produ la, some of the most important Stater of the Union Canada West, Ocm.aining already a million of souls, is destined to sopply a vast bust riess to the nearest and most convenient tole water cities. The ports of lake Erie and Ontario are rap idly augmenting their commerce and becoming re. nowned as the trading marts of the inland seas. And shall New York and Boston forever enrich them. selves with the commerce and trades re the north and the lakes, which might be divided by Phila phial The North Pennsylvania Railroad will open to Philadelphia the shortest line to Lake Erie—it - will open between Philadelphia and Dunkirk, Buf falo, Canada West, Niagara Falls, Rochester, So das Bab , and all interme lime points a reeve fifty Miles shorter than any railroad leading from the city of New York to the etime points! So much for its through prospects and advantages. In its local aspects there is everything to elicit admiration and inspire confidence. On either side of Its route are oroad acres7of productive soil, quarries of liniestone, mines of zinc and iron ore, tracts of bores, timber, and a never lailng supply of water power. But the crowning teatute of them three:great anthracite coal fields, of Pennsylvania. By the valley of the North Branch it can carry the "Black Diamond" from the Wyoming ,coal field into Western New York, and to all the lake hints, cheaper than any other railroad. And we azard nothing in saying that the North Branch di vision of the road, will, if worked by itself, amply and profitably re-imburae its cost. The North Branch of the Susquehanna, strange to say, is known to fewer Philadelphians than any western valley of equal magnitude between Pitt-burg and St.:Lonis Of the Philadelphians indicateditn the be ginning of this letter, the president is the only one that had ever before been along the North Branch Riser, between Pittston and the State line, while of the balance of the Directors, not one has ever yet seen the North Branch between those points ! This fact is referred to in explanation of the cause of the estrangement of some of the northern coon. ties. The truth is, that Philadelphia has lost mil. lions. of trade by her long neglect of Northern Penn• Sylvania. And if this North Pennsylvania Railroad bei not prosecuted to a compleairfn through its whole length, the ground will be taken for New York purposes. It is not a question whether Philadelphia will make the whole road now or at a future time, but it must hfe built now or never. If any one do ibt this, let him visit the northern counties and learn operations going on to seize and posess the valleys of the north, for ends inimical to Philadelphia Let him learn, too, how Philadelphia was given the vantage 'ground when others were plotting and counterplotting for it; and then having learned ghetto things, lend his aid to placeosoccess beyond the pale of doubt. The people of the North are with Philadelphia in the enterprise of a north Penn- Sylvania route, and would prefer that their beauti• id valley should be occupied with a railroad lead• • Mg to the metropolis of their own ,State. They are true sons of the Keystone. As this is the season of excursions and rambles in the country, let me suggest to the Philadelphian, that a visit to the vale of Wyoming and along the North Branch of the Susquehanna, would gladden Ilia sight with views of tnachless landscapes, and, et the samervime, refresh his nature with ardent gesbings of genuine State pride . It it not always that pleasure is blended with du ty Innd infest; yet, if Philadelphians will turn their inquiries into north Pennsylvania, they will at each step meet objects that will!evoke gladsome thoughts and produce a fruitfulness of results ex deeding all anticipation. Let the whole Keystone Iltatsibe blended into one fraternity, and let its chief city be made the centre of its trade and the scource of its supplies NORTH. ROAD LAW.—TlierSupreme , Court, at Harrisburg, have made the following decision: When a road has once been opened by the stapervisors, its location cannot atterwards be alter ed by another supervisor, for the purpose of placing it on what he may suppose to be its proper site. 2. All authority under the order to open is ex hausted by the action of those to whom it was di rected, and cannot be resumed, alihouo the first location was not according to the report of the view MIL 3. Bat this rule does not prevent subsequent ra• pervisors from clearing out a road to its proper 4. When a track has once been made on which the public can pus, the whole legal breadth i of the raid is to be taken as devoted to public use, and though the power to make another location is gone, the right and duty of thl supervisors to remove °b efit:unions from any part of it, remains in full force. An forces:lrmo Dkostost.—A decision of some importance hav been rendered by Jodge Williams, otPittabing. Some time ago a'man named,Philip Schymble, was convicted of Beeping a tippling bowie, and fined 375. The Commissioners of ihe County took the prisoner's bond for the debt, and wrote a release for Schymble, which was handed to' r Mitchell, the engineer of the jail, the Sher and jailer being absent. Mitchell thinking all right released the prisoner from confinement. When the Sheriff returned, he arrested Schymble and re mitted him to prison, contending that the Commis eionemeould not discharge him till the sentence of the court was complied with. To settle the nat ter, the prisoner was taken on habeas corpus, be fore Judge Williams, who decided that the Com mtseioosn discharge one on their order. however, the sheriff and Commissidhers were agreed on the matter, the prisoner might be releas ing& Confinement.

DM.BC L Editor & Proprietor. Towanda, July 16, 1t153. The field of newspaper enterprise, like alt em ployments or speculations, is open for competition. It is most unquestionably the privilege of any marl w embark in the business of printing and publish ing, a public journal, whenever and wherever lie shall deem a newspaper to be demanded by the exigences of the times, or supposes it may b 3 a source of pecuniary profit o himself Against such competition we have no right to complain, any more than the metchant who sees a retailer of mer chandise settle near him, or the mechanic. when a fellow craftsman opens a shop in his vicinity. 0$ any honorable competition or rivalry, in a business point of view, we have no disposition to complain, recognizing this principle in its broadest sense. But there is in this movement something beoide ihe establishment of a new paper as a business . We shall endeavor candidly, but plainly, to unfold the reasons for it, and unmask the hypocrisy of the lair words which are addressed "To the Democre• cy of Bradford County " To do ibis , it will be ne• cessary to revert to the past, while noticing the present, aria prognosticating of ihe future. On the 28th day of September, Anno Domini, 1818 : appeared .he first number of a newspaper s 'yclept the " Bradford Democrat." This brilliant hebdomadal, was of &mein, parentage. It pir• ported to be published at Towatula, but type and press to print such a thing were not there, anti it was more than conjecture that it was ushered into the world in another State It doubts motet: as io to parentage and place of birth, the object a 1 'the battling was beyond question Osit flintily for the support of CABs & Borten, its true purpose was the defeat of DAVID WILMOT, then the unanimously nominated candidate of this Congreestonal district. To this end it labored until the °mho; election, with industry, if not with ability, omitting nothing which tended to arouse the prejudice of tat portion of the Democracy who were supporting Case & BUTLER, against Mr Wilmot The Democracy of Bradford repudiated the advice of the man whom they had in the most solemn manner, in a Demo- cratic Convention, declared to be unworthy of the name ofa Democrat; they rebuked in thunder tones the "foreign influences" which sought to control their action, and gave Mr. WILMOT more votes than were ever polled in Bradford for any candidate 4 The official return exhibits the immense influence exerted by the Bradford Democrat, which had la. bored unceasingly for Mr. Wrignot's overthrow,and to advance the cause of Jousts Bar.vtirma. Look at the figures:— 19*8. . 4.175 For Congress. $ Brevister, • • • pl 5 Two hundred and fifteen votes, all told, in a poll of nearly seven thousand, showed how little regard the Democracy of Bradford bad for the teachings.of the Bradford Democrat. such a verdict of popular condemnation would have. extinguished a newspaper possessed of more vitality than ever existed in the Democrat. It never recovered from the shock, but lingered along hi a feeble state, gasping for breath, growing weaker and weaker with each succeeding Waite, until with out a struggle or groan or even a dying kick, it de parted this file at the tender age of twenty-eight weeks, on the 26th day of April, A. D. 1849 Up• on its tombstone was placed, (or should have been placed) the in lant's epitaph : Sines yea so soon wouidosse 1 lIVIPOCt vast rod was berui for 1 , This mem to N resaleitate,nillelfepoot WOO, ItAagithuir_liktrinnelt unwise and anomalous.

The election of Mr. Mum, abated in no degree, the animosity of the Monocrat. ft seemed to be perfectly rabid at the thought of his election. We have carefully examined the files, and believe there is scarcely a number which does not contain at least one article about that gentleman. Next to the implacability and virulence of its hatred, is the talent it displays to " I/months allnh, accumulate the lie, And pile the pyramid afcalumny." The vindictivens4s of these assaults, so uncalled fur and false, is rendered the more disreputable at ter the solemn verdict of approval which had been but lately rendered at the ballot box, by the Con• stituency of Mr. WILMOT. If Mr. Witsure was a phantom which continual ly harasased the mind of the editor of the Democrat, calling up the direst images arid the most horrible thoughts, the Bradford Reporter, was an actual, ex- I tatigible . source of annoyance and perplexity. If Mr. WILMOT was deemed worthy one paragraph, the Reporter came in for two. Its Weekly agonies were posi ively distressing. Our only feeling was of the deepest regret that we should be a source of such intense annoyance to a neighbor. The bane at its existence was VuMo'r and the Reporter.— Having such a dread of these, we are certain that death must have been a positive comfort to the De mocrat, because it relieved it from those horrible spectres, which so continually hauled it. So mach for the original objects and labors of the Democrat Let us now leave the " dear departed dead," and consider the present. A careful consideration may perhaps develope the reasons for this movement, and explain why Col. BULL has neglected for tour long years the duty which now seems to have fall en upon him, of enlightening the Democracy of Bradfotd,—to " make darkness light, and crooked things straight." Into this consideration enters the prospectus we have quoted above. It will te seen that this document declares that " the causes irre sistibly reading to the necessity of this measure are clearly known arid appreciated by every intelligent democrat in this Congressional district," and also that " evidences here and elsewhere indicate an under current leading to a schism, from deep lanati cal hestitity to the compromise measures, and The issue must be met at the threshhord and secret ene rules must be made to show their hand." The "causes" which are here supposed to be so sell-evident, exist only in the lane, - of a restless, uneasy, malevolent imagination. What is the con dition of the Democracy in this Congressienai Dis trict? Are there any causes existing, which en danger the unity of the party or prevent its harmo nious action ? We aesert that the Democracy of this Congressional district are thoroughly united, and capable and ready to rebuke all attempts at !action or disorganization. What indications of schism can there be discerned among the good and true men of the party, who have been disimgmsti ed for their devotion and constancy to its title in terests? The only nolicatums vibible, are contain- ed to this prospeetos, as we shall presently point Re-united upon the ancient principles of the par ty, guided by 114 time-haunted land-marks, Ow De mocracy of this Congressional district have no.rea son for anything but harmony of action. The Na tional and Slate Administrations are worthy of their respect and confidence, and we are certain have their undivided support The statement that there are here any indications leading to schism from hostility to the compromise measures is false and wholly gratuitous. The democracy of this Courtly understood as well before the November election, Gen. PIERCE'S views regarding the Compromise measures, as they did after he had pronounced his Inaugural. There could be no mistaking his posi tion—ami no intelligent Democrat will attempt to deity it Thai the Compromise measures were to the great body of our Democracy an acceptable set tlement of the questions involved, we do not be lieve, but weave eqnally certain that they are now considered as a present settlement of the question, arid there is no disposition time to re-open the agi• tattoo and discussion which for years engaged the attention of the country. Where car. be found the indications alluded to? We look in vain to disco ver them, amongst the mealy Democrats in this Conroy oho have everbeen faithful to the cause of Freedom. Let secret enemies" to the Democra cy '• show their hands:" and the display, in our judgment, 11 not very imposing, is at least become very manifest. SCIIIAIII7IIIC indications however are not wanting, showing a hostility to the National Administration, proceeding timely Irom those disappointed in ob taining office. Perhaps an index to the sentiments set foith in Col But.L'e prospectus, may be found in the fact that he has just returned from Washing. ton, after a prolonged and anxious application for all appointment as Special Mad Agent. That the Administration should overlook his claims may be wonderful, but it is hardly a good reason why the President or any portion of his Constitutional advi sers should be denounced. The beet way to take such disappointments, is by the exercise of philo sophy, and not-the emission of spleen. In reading this prospectus, remember that the Colonel has been an applicant for a Special Mail Agency, and his request has been denied. This key solves the riddle at once—unlocks Ibilkdaidden mystery of its language, and makes perfectly plain the causes ti irresistibly leading" to the resurrection of the Bradford Democrat: Thai a columned clink is to be made upon the Administration there are already abundant eviden ces. The initiatory movement has been already commenced in New Hampshire, by EDMOND BUR/C , the hired toot of the Steam ship men and the opera hitors. The system or austere is everywhere the same,. and Col. Sou. has not deviated from it.
