The construction of this road the su preme court of Pennsylvania decided, more than a year ago,-was without legal authority, and its use since that time could, therefore, have been entirely restrained bys tbe Ccrnmonwealth; and it is now subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Legislature think proper to impose. The connection between Erie Anil the- State of New Yolk, is made by what is called the Elie and Northeast Railroad, the termini of which was fixed by its charter at the Sate line and the borough of Erie, and one of the coarlitions of its incorporation was, that t. the said railroad &hall be so constructed as not to impede or obstruct the free lice of any public road, street, lane, or bridge " Mid at ate time of buildirg said road, the company applied to the city authorities for permission to lay their track widiiii limits of the city, so.as to connect with . the Franklin Canal Company's roads. That permis-. clout, as I understand, v: as granted with the express condition that it might be revoked RI any time by the city authorities. At therimaiif putting down the track of this road, d was laid at .Hatbor Creek, some eighty or'ninety rods along the public high : way, including the bridge over saidcteek, and that, tbo, under the protest of the supervisors or the township. But the track,. as originally laid, remain , ed unmolested till the company commenced taking it up to change the g rage, and then they were no. titled by the township authorities, that if they took up they would not be permitted to lay it again on the public highway. And here is one point of conflict between the citizens of Harbor creek township and the North. east Railroad Company; and the other is within the corpatate limits of the city of Erie, where the railroad company never had any authority hem the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to - lay ()Own a track. But whatever differences of opinion there may b 3 as to the right of the railroad company,on iler their charter, to cross the township I ridge at Hat bor Creek, and run along the public highway , that doubt, it seems to the, must end at the eastern . line of the original limits of the borough of Erie.— From that point to the State line of Ohio the Corn-. monwealth of Pennsylvania bas never granted any franchise for the construction of a railroaiL Between these points, then, the citizens of Erie are but resis ting encroachments attempted upon. Vieir tights as citizens, and as memberspf a municipal gotem-. meat, by an associated company acting without any legal franchise. And though they . may be guilty of some excesses in vindicating %ell' rights, are they, or the party that attempts the encroachment most to blame ? Had these companies been con tent to remaiu quiet till the meeting of the Legisla ture, and then sought there for legal authority be fore acting, there would have beery no disturbance at Erie, and travel and trade would have Named ed as heretofore, unmolested. But why should the public complain that Mete should- be a break of guagu at Erie instead of Buffalo; for it int at of ne cessity, be at One place or the other. the raifinad gnage otOhin is foot feet ten. inches ''of NewYdrk, six feet and four leet eight and a half inches; the Pennsylvania gouge is four feet eight and a half inches , It is, therefore, impossible to pass from the northwest, through either New York or PetwaYlvo nia, to the Atlantic seaboard, without a champ : of page. - And is there any reason why the citizens of'Erie or the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania should not avail themselves of the commercial attiventages of their local and geographical. position, especially when they can do it without any obstrucqon of commerce or trade, and' without injury'-lbliny oth er section of the Union? How is trade and 'nave) obstructed any more by a change of gauge - at: Erie than at Buffalo, or any other. point between the in. land States and the sea-board ? The gbages which the different States have selected for themtelves, without any action on the part of Pennsylvania, has made such change necessary-, And all: that Pennsylvania or any of her citizens desire, is the simple enjoy - meet ol the advantagesof her position. She has no disposition to tax trade and commerce passing through her limits, nor to obstructits cheap and speedy transit. All companies now acting under her franchises can lay such tracks as they think proper, and deny gnaoe. She simply says to Ohio and New York, you have each free permission to bring your own images within out limits, and join them either at Erie or at any point west of that. This is the dec laration of her Executive—this is the law of her strute.book. By this arrangement, all her rights and interests in her improvements already con structed, and those in course of construction, are secured, and that, too, without any injury to the trade of her sister States, or any obstruction to their intercourse. And because she is disposed to avail herself ol the commercial advantages of her posi lion when she can do it without injury to any other I section, a prejudice is attempted to be created against her citizens, and even the law makers of the country talk ol withholding the rights due her as a member of this Confederacy. While Pennaylva ma is loyal to the Constitution and lam of the Union, and faithful to her sister States, she is equal. ly loyal and faithful to herself. And because , her Executive, who is charged with the maintenance of her rights and heir interests, is disposed to pro tect both. as well as the rights o[ the citizens, against unjust encroachments by companies acting without legal franchise, he is made the subjebt• of 'an isrepresentminn and reproach. ma WASHBURN E, of Illinois. . . 1 resirlein the West, and I would like to ask the gentleman a few questions.

Sir, what adieience can it make to the %Vest, and how, is her interests af fected, whether the change of railroad guage at Erieor Buffalo? So far as any local interests are concerned this is simply a controversy between Erie end Buffalo, in which the trade of the great West in its transit to the sea-board has no Interest, save as It is at present obstructed by.ffiete.diffteld ties. - . , But is the Executive of Pentistivania,."

Ir the Sosgeehanne river, to li e ,inade navigable, is a mielatioli whih it a‘.ked 'mere or leer every day: We answer of coursed! hr. We say °Mune beeanre we believe it most be re& It is practicable, will pay, will drum one any in jury, except what will be paid for, and will be of of sorneativantage to every citizen of Owego and Tinge county ; yes, to every inhabitant of the Sus queltanna.Valley. And such being the case, to suprove that the project of making the Susquehan na river navigable would not be consummated, is In suppose our citizens aimless sazacioul, less im bued with the spirit of The times and more stupid than the Mohawk Detehmen,, who opposed the consttuction of the Erie Canal. To show that it is practicable, we need only to re fer to the fact, that by actual sotirsiy it is bound that there is but tony-three feet ot.tall of water to over come from Athens to Binghamton, about one-third pi which is already accomplished by the mill dams aCfO , l3 the river ; between those places. But throw. ing nut of account the present mill dams, and it would only require seven darn:rot about six feet in lieight,tna of whiub wish the necessary locks, according to Col Porten, who has had practice and expetience in the matter, would coast not over fif teen thousand dollars. or fle ;elude would coat a sum tit between one and two hundred thousand dol lars. Col. P., at the •Contrention lately held in Owego, slid, that if a company would place in his hands two hundred thousand dollars, he would put the river in navigable order, as was proposed, and return to them a part of the money. Well, then, it with ; for all the coal to supply the Oswego, Utica, Syracuse, Auburn, Ithaca and Binghamton markets, must necessarily pass over the whole or a part of the construction, which, at the least ellen. latiorywould not be less than two hundred thous and lons per annum. Thus, the 101 l on the coal alone, would pay the interest on twice the sum it `would con to make the construction—to say nothing of the lumber, grain and salt trade. It such slams as are proposer.; to be built, should cause land along the river to be Overflowed, the land owners would, of course, be paid the value of their land, bet those who know best about it, say that the dams can be constructed at such places that very little land need be over flown in consequence. We cannot at present acqurately estimate all the beneficial /results consequent upon the completion of such* work but when we reflect that it would form a connecting hark between the great canals of New York and-Pennsylvania, and would complete a coutionous alai direct water commanicatioq from Lake Ontario to Chesapeake Bay, it is perfectly ob vious that' ifiarrould make through Tioga County a thoroughfare for an immense commerce,' *MCI would greatly add to the facilities and amount of trade and give a new impetus to all kinds of busi ness. Yankee skill and industry would bunt the teaterfarli "and teach them to spin cotton and wool, and the Eitsquehanna'Valley, would become, as it should and can be made just as thriving and pros. perous as any patt of the Empire State, and that too,wiihont squandering any of the State's treasur es, or raising the state tax. A similar enterprise was undertaken a few years since-oaths Monongahela river, b,) a few men of enterprise, and accomplished at. an expense Woos hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which now keeps itself in repairs and pays annually the inter calif halt a million. Our 'advantages are better thaniheirs,and our citizens just as enterprising, then we ask ' why can't the matter progress items. diately.Otecgo Guzrtle.

We caution Out readers against ihese:pre: judiced, partial and untrue statements in the New, York papers. They do not give die truth in regard to the facts. The Utah is, that tbis trouble al Erie, is a alight aadlrivial of uiyia comparison with the excitement which has been telt throughout the-country about it—engendered by the agents and hirelings of the monopolies which seek toast adetience the laws of our Commonwealth aed prejudice bar intereaut. It is a ovation, to be sure, in which every Penn sylvanian is interested, who has any regard, for the wallet(' of the State, and state pride does not abide in the breast of him who doesnot sympathise with the people of Erie in their efforts to resist the en croachments and, unjust demands of foreign corpo rations. We have no design to discuss the gaestioas in volved in these difficulties, except so far as rodeo limn have beep cast upon the liberality of the State, and she has been charged with a want of comity.. The only question between the citizen' of Enema the railroad companies, is, shall the break of guage be at Erie or at Buffalo. As the break must occur it seems to us that the very propositilip curies with k its answer. Pennsylvanili alter much effon sniff at large cost succeeded in pecoriog, as a pert other territory the small neck of land bordering upon lake Erie now included in the County of Erie. Though lying contiguous to that great inland sea, u is the only soil she possesses washed by its wtives, ; and the only spot where she may : putty claim, and 14- peel to receive a share of its vast commerce. 11 Pennsylvania expects to, share in the Imhof the South and West, which is annually. floated 4mm:the waters olthe Lakes, the entrepol• must be at Erie. In order successfully to offer inducements for that trade, she must have _means of transportation east. ward, which shall compete with other towns upon the lake. Itebe allows the railroad .companies to carry out their plans, by running a uniform guage and by avoiding her barbre r she cuts off Erie from any participation in the trade of the West, and loses all \its advantages to the. Common wealth. The rea son is, because, with ii , brealt of guaga at Buffalo, the port of Elie will be deserted for the former place. 1l the break, is et Elie or west of Erie, then shippers may send their. produce eastward witho*t interruption, and Erie bas a fair chance with But tato. Our Commonwealth violates no principle of comity and ilispliss no illiberality in her with the Railroad eompaoiee, even assuming the intention, of the people of Erie, as being those of the whole State. She says to the railroada of Ohio, you shall have tree right of way, to, extend your made to Eria— , to the Railroads of New• York she extends the same privilege•-and all sbe Mots in return is, that tbeyathall not plot to anderrnme the interests of the State for the benefit of her neighbors. .The people of Erie, may have exceeded the bounds of moderation and law in attempting to de. feat the unlawful designs of these arrogammonopo- Tkey have suffered many aud, grievous wrong, and a people once aroused to defend their rights, are apt In commit excesses. Our forefathers were forgetful of Law and order. when they pitched the tea into Boston harbor, and the citizens p 1 Erie may have been equally indiscreet, but their case is equally as just. We have been led into these remarks by out intention of inviting attention to the remarks of Mr. Gaow, deliverbd in the House on Thursday, week, upon this subject, which wilt be found in !another column. They present the historical part of the controversy in a plain manner, and are a sufficient vindiotion of the Executive of the State, mid of the people of Erie. THE New-You Meucit.
