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,

proposed route, via Athens, Towaii,la. Tnulhan

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

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

selves with the commerce and trades re the north

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.
Tio gyred or A Timm Anworniton.—An in
dividual, wbo was cheated by a grocer out of a

The Resurrection of the Dead !
The following is a copy of a prospectui which
has been exhibited for signatures in the public
places of this Borough, for some days past:—
To the Democracy of Bradford County.
The undersigned proposes to renew the publication of the
BRADFORD DEMOCRAT The comes irresistibly leading to the
necessity altar; measure are cicurly kiiswn and appreciated
by every intelligent Democrat it this Congressional District.
'the land marks in the late triumph of broad party principles
over fanatical error and Women heresies, should lot be lost
sight of in garnering up the quits of so signal a victory. the
measures of the " Compromise" are lie measures of the De
mocratic party. and cannot be yielded to sectional views of
sectional partizans. la his Inaugural, Gen. PIERCS declared
- that involuntary servitude as it exists in differem states of
this confederacy, is recognised by the Constitution—that it
stands like any other admitted right, and that the sates where
it existence entitled to elbcaent remedies to enforce the Con
stitutional provisions." By this manly declaration, our dis
tinguished Chief Mngistrate has proved to the country mat ye
has the heart and the :weave to maintain the fundamental doc
trines which so triumphantly elected him to his present exal
ted and responsible position. W hether any of his Cabinet may
have comrultbil errors. or whether they may be a tart or not.
the people have lull and abiding confidence to uts Roman
firmness.
Evidences here and elsewhere already indicate an under
current leading to a schism. from deep fanatical hostility to the
compromise measures. and the issue must be met at the thresh
hold, and ifecret enemies must be made to sow their hand.—
The pure principles of Democracy recognises no side or sec
tional issues. Democracy is one and the same thing all over
the Union. Like thq dews of Heaven it is spread over all
sections alike. to matittatis and hold inviolate the broad fun
damental doctrines and cherished onneiples of the Democratic
party, is the leading °meet curd design of the resuscitation of
the BRADFORD DEMOCRAT In short the people desire a paper

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

homapathically small, that a successful attempt at
resuscitation would produce the cruel result of bring-
ing back into this wicked world, a ricketty, puling,
weakly brat, to gasp feebly for breath lot a few
weeks of intenieagimy, and then relapse again in
to its happier suite of non•eaistence
" After Ilfe's fitful fever it eleepe—arell."
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

GEIGER, of this place, a few days since, fired five
successive shots at a target two hundred and sixty
yards distance, and the aggregate length of the five

marksmanship, arid we doubt whether it can be
beaten in this section of coun'ry. Mr. G. used a
