To Ike Senate it,nd Hone al Representafiv 4 : GENTLEMLN:—Tho la* revoking thas'etor ter :-;-- thd Franklin canal company, made it' the duty of the,Governor to take such measures as might be necessary to carry its, provisions into effect,- To perform the duty . thus imposed upon me,-1 -- paired immediately to the city of Erie,and reit ed to the seat of government on Thursday mit ing last. I embrace this • early opportunity communicating to you the results. ‘: • On the second instant, I cansed a copy of he •said law, together with a communication referr ng ~to its provisions, to be presented to the president sand directors of the Franklincanal company ; cud Ammediately thereafter, took possession or the railroad claimed by said company, in the name of the Cetnmoiwealth, . and appointed - William F. Packer, Esql; to superintend Its operations, with .the power te select such assistant as might b e found necesiery. - - , • • , ' Arrangements Were subsequent' tr.'ade _with the Cleaveland; Painesville and Ashtabula rail road company; to stock !and use said ; road on terms and conditions deemed just and reasonable to all Parties Interested, and advantageous to the public, The business, therefore - , has been fully resumed on lithe entire line from Cleaveland to Buffalo. rind will; hereaft&, in my opinion, be lararrsacied To a manner more advantageous and agreeable to the traveler and transporter; than at tiny' former period. . The aceompanying correspondenceon between the officeri of the Franklin canal coMpany and my-, self, together with the annexed copy of the con- Arad with the Ohio railroad company, for stock ing and..using the road keel Erie; to the State , line, will exhibit to you thi: details of my-action under the lei% . - .., i ~ M It affords e unaffected pleasure to inform you that notwithstanding the *lent controversy • Which hatheen maintained for months past, be tween the railroad companies and the „people of • -Erie, and thb high degree of excitement incident to such a contest, I encountered bit little diffieul-. tydn areomPlishing the objects of thelaW. . No serious dispesitiem was manifested at any time,to „resist ; the authority of the. State, Forbearance rand prildenice appeared to distinguish the con- Auctof tbe mass of people, as Well as the action of all the parties directly concerned in theAust meat of thi'unpleasant affair. '.' , . Whilst, therefore, it is hoped that the settle-. -.merit of thel-difficulty in the manner just indica ted may prove satisfactory, the: restoration , of peace and qiiiet to that dommunity; will donig =less he subject of gratulation throughout _ the - country ; ' a it certainly should be of special grid- - • ideation to you and the other authorities of .the State. , With an unfaltering determination on the part, of the people "of Erie, to maintain their eights before the courtsond to insist upon'aieas urea of legislation for tho promotion, of their welfare, [ ' feel assured that they are equally prepared to !restrain, and if needs be, to resist any act of violence to persons or property, or oth 'ex acts in derogation of the law._ .. • The churl of the State to the route freed the - city of Erie to tho Ohio line, having been thus .maintained, the enquiry naturally arises, shall a grant for a road between these points be made, and on what conditions ? I have no hesitation in , expressing the opinion that the grant should be made, and as promptly as convenient, and thus put the controversy at rest. The State shoutd' -certainly dO thia,:pi make provision for_ptiyment .. to the stockholdirs Of the ''r.ariltlin canal compa ny, a fair compensation for the railroad construc ted by them; and keep it herself.... Of these prop. ositionti am inclined to prefer Abe former.— .Shoulifith, e grant be made co a cerporation, such conditions eon he annexed s. will meetthe wish. ca of the - people- of ,Erie, pr mote their Welfare, extend the business and use. Incas of the hart,,,,. lit that place, and advance the enerar prosperity o f the State, without subjectin travel or com • - -meeee a more than an incidental or unavoidable inconvenience. • .• .Amongst ,the conditions, should be one rglquirs Sing this road .to connect with the harbor at Erie ;' and such other terns, as the general' Assembly . - \ may deem right and proper. . • 1 1 .. \' With these remarks, under other circumstan ' ces, my duty might close: But the manifest mis . reprosentations'which'have characterized thedis cuSsion of this unpleasant controversy in' certain sections of the - country, Nave induced me to pre sent a brief r t tatement of the of the case, as a defence fef the State and her represergatiVei., The Commonwealth has had no • controversy with the citizens or corporation's of other State, nor has she been inclined to interfere with their rights or interests; or to unnecessarily interrupt the travel or commerce cf the country. SI has • beeddeafino. ' With a refractory ereatire 6 her own, which bad moat palpably "misused and abused" the privilegesto.nferted epee , i t l / 4 t ... by law ; i a Corporation that had attempted the usurpation of power, that had infringed the sovereignty of •the .State, and, invaded her rights of eminent do main. It' in this contest she was "brought into collision with citizens and corporations of other States, the difficulty was not of her own seeking. The vindication - ;of her honor and dignity .was .!I a duty which she could not neglect; and I Ohre Ito *hesitation 'in saying, without_ any .- referacie to the difficulties at Erie, that it was right and pol: itic on the-part of the State to exercise the pow.; .er which she had reserved over this corporation. The.act, I doubt not, will exert a Wholtome in fluenCeie future, over the conduct ofsimilar bod ie.s. If neglected inarcase so manifestly proper, it would be idle to insert reservations And.condi tionsjn-similar corporations for the protection of the public, as it would also be uselesi to grant additional raiiroad charters. Under such a With • dinarian construction as claiined by the Franklin canal company, those already in existence Could occupy every feasible route in the. State. _ In 1844, this corporation was created for the purpose of improving the French creek division .- of The -Pennsylvania canal, the State reserving tho right to re-possess said canal, at any time thereafter, by 'repaying the company the amount of money expended in its improvementovith six per tent. interest. In April, 1849, the company was authorized to 'construct asailroed on the banks of said canal,' and to extend the same from the head of the ca. 1 nal north to Erie, and south to, Pittsburg; the Legislature expressly reserving the right e , to re voke the charter of the company,should the priv.: lieges e a - ranted be at any time "misused. or abus ed.' The company made no - attempt to imprinie said canal; nor to construct the railroad fr(iht the - termini' of the canal to Pittsburg or Erie. In 4850, however, they commenced the construction of a railroad from the Ohio Statelino too the. .city of Erie, parallel with the lake, and nearly at ; right angel with the route assigne:to theta by the ,Legislature. : • .. They were early adiuonished against this at tempt.. ' In 1851, the' Pittsburg and Erie railroad i,. company, 1 institatfd proceedings &gains the Franklin Canal company, in the Supreme wart, on the grtiund that they had no right to no strut . a load on the location which they were=sttemp. Ling to oc4upy. ' In the spring of 1852, the Attorney .General - made complaint against said company before the - Supreme poet, in the name of the COMUIOI3. wealth, and prayed for an injunction to- restrain the construction and xise.of said railroad. The opintiartObe Court in this ca 57,.., was delivered ' in Jamul, 185;, by chief Jestice ke,hitt ; and , whilst the injunction prayed for was refased on. the technical ground, that the Commonwealth touldnot under the law, give security for dsuna ges, the dews of the court - literally annihilated' the right of the company to construct diroad on the routeovhich they were then -occupying', and in this opinion the Circuit Coed , of the United Slates, atiPittsburg, has fully concurred. . The Legislature of 1853, 'repealed. irni the, law re qug the Comnionwealth to give secunty; for damages, and thereby nerved the only 4bstigle in the ,way of a filial decree against the'eomParry, is the.case then pending,• But ieaseasieh is the railroad, to the mean time, had 44iett colopleted, and the only ; effect of the decree valid be to. re. ".• , strain the use of the road, it waa'desweed prOrr. er to pow the meetingor. the Legislature, the ; 0 only powr that could proerlysod penumen ,y dispose of this controversy. . The Legislature did net, and'. by virtue of the reservations ;contained in the Charter already - furred to,lreVoked and annulledall the rights aid privileges, granted to said company. This rarl road with!alll its appurtananges, is, therefore, in the posiseriaion ef the State, and its operatki ns undonthe; direction den °Sect of her own se lection.

When the capitalists of New York commenced the con struitibl of a railrotul fr,one the ciity 'of Buffalo westiverd, differing in width from the other roads of that State, they had determined to impose up on commerce the ineonVenience:incident to a -transhipment._ Solicitoui as lam to facilitate intercourse bet Ween the great. West and the' At lantic Cities', and•to tnaietaie aliberal poliei to= wards neighboring States, I have been unable to disco 7 , a reason , in public policy; why this ann. voida 1 transhipment should not occur at Erie. Such a position fit not Wanting ib courtesy or kindness te our neighbo4.- New Work bait select ed her, poliey as to the width of railroad's. She . ,desires to extend them Westward,: and Pennsyl vania is willing le admit! them within her limits.

The latter ( State asks no advantage she is wilting to extend her roads to Erie, and meet 'Xzw York and Ohip on' equal terms, on her own territory. Surely .there ear{ be no 'want of courtesy in this position. However much she may regret thirnecessitilfor a transhipment, she has not 'the power, to obviate it. 1 But on the oth erhand, it is demanded that a gauge of railroad, unusual te, Pennsylvania and Now York both, with which neither can Iconnect, should extend from Ohio to the city ofißuffslo, on a line a mite and nfore south -of the harbor, at . Erie, and cut ting off the chaticesr)of nnection with the Sun bury and Erie, in the fo er State, and the New cf n York and Erie tailroad, in the latter. This art =gement may answer the owners of the road better than the public. it has been assigned as a reason for this policy ithat Buffalo is a gmater citylhan Erie, and that the former should be re.

The harbor at; Erie, is oneof the safest on the lake, and its othe.r natnial advantages are not surpaseed. It cart he connected With the At- , lactic cities by a shorter and better railroad coin- ' `municatioe tiem any Other, and it-needs ,but this to place it in possetisiOn of an immense business. I t But it will be vain , el anticipate the Rem:meta. tion of the vast products of the,country in that harbor, unless facilities Ibe afforded to transpor tation to and from it,' Igor is it any more reason able to present the coniition of business in the 1 haibor, at this time, as en argument against the construction of such fealties. It would be as' sensible to expect to,rhScover full grown_ corn in 1 the uncultivated foresti z as to find the vast pro. ducts of the country in harbor from which there is no means of transit The natural adeantages of this harbor have bee thus far rudely rejected; but - this pplicy I dna co fi dent, cannot be longer maintained.

Has the thistle and the shamrock taken the place of, flatters about the altar of American freedom,- prosperity, happiness.and quietude Is there indeed no • end to agitation, fanaticism and strife,—no point at which we can arrive and-exclaim,— "thank God, Slavery contention is at an end /brevet.?" I3ut:we have Moralized from our subject - It is claimed by the friends of the Nebras ka Bill, that, the Missouri ComProinise line is repealed by e Compromise of 1850,- 9aat they are therefore only carrying out in good faith that' Act by leaving the question of Slavery in that territory to be settled by its 'people. Did we believe this to'be true, and could siefunl' any evidence aside from mere declarations to found itupon, we , would then conceive it our duty to say Amen to its passage, for twureasona, First because we are utterly hostile!to any revival of the Slavery question, and Second because under that Act we are perfectly willing to rest.and abidethe decision of the people on all questions Bak- - Ling themselves in their capacity of self-gov ernors.
