THE ENGLISH RAILROAD RAID.
j Some years' ago a party of English 6ap-
ITattsts eouiHWEecd the extension of the
sir feet guage railroads from New York
j .. . r . 1 .
i railroad lines in the Northern States.
try. While here they couceived or ma
tured the graud idea of construe inj a
cuntinioui lino through IVmisylrnta,
profes.-cdiy for the' purpose of developing
certain portions of the Sat9 not floored
with railroads; and instead -of proposing
their scheme to tbe legislative p.wer t i
tbe State, they have attempted to secure
the necessary ir.inohie for a thronuh route
by leasing the Catawissa and purchas m
several charters held by specu'ators. They
have secured poswssiiiin of the Morris and
Esex road of New Jersey, which with tr.e
Lehigh Valley, Qunkate and Catawissa
gives them a through line from New York
to Milton. 'They have also purchased the
Centre and Spruce Urek and the Western
Central charters by which they hooe to
reach Frauklin, and also to intersect their
own road below Greenville, in Mcreer
county. Thus do a party of English
capitalist, an .organisation foreign and
uutrieu Jly to all our interests, attempt to
acquire possession of a thiough route in
our State, that would paralyze both Pitts
burg sod Philadelphia, and use our terri
tory merely to s?cepour cwa wealth and
that of tbe West, to foreign markets.
Such an enterprise miht receive the
sanction of a Pennsylvania legislature,
but it wonld bo under restrictions aud cin
dition.t which were not deemed important
in granting local charters such as tbe Ca-;
tawm?a and Centre and Spruce . Creek
roads.
At first blush most men are prepared to
welcome capital from any. part of tbe
wot Id to construct railroads in Pennsylva
nia; but when the aim and well matured
rurpose of this enterprise are considered,
it would be a suicidal act to allow the pro
posed routa io be coustructed without a
revision of its franchise by the proper
legislative power. - To understand the
character of this enterprise, and its fatal
consequences upon our industry and com
merce, we must lo k to the settled policy
of English capitalista as acted upon with
fatal consistency since they have commenc
ed tbe eigaotic work ot controlling the
trade of the North and West. England
Las bean ready for years to make almost
any sacrifice to control our trade- I's
first aim was to cripple our industry and
paralyze our commerce and improvements,
and its secondary aim was to possess the
trade which should enrich our own com-
men-ial emporiums. Acting upon this poli
cy the English government authorized tbe
'construction of the Great Trunk line in
Canada, some years afro ; and to enable it
to COmpete successfully with all tbe great
. . , ,
Hues lu tu' uuilcu ciaica, us vuuua,
stock, real estate, rolling stock and all its
property, were exempted from taxation.'
Thus were millions of dollarsf made from
tbu oppressive taxes of the English gov
em men t solely for the purpose of striking
a fatal blow at the commerce, the indus
try and transporting lines of this country
By this enterprise the English carrier
now gives a bill of lading iu Detroit or
Chicago throuch to Liverpool, and a fe
years ago the English line could carry a
barrel of flour thtough Canada to Port
land and from thence to New York or
Philadelphia at a less cost or certainly net
a greater cost, than it could be transport
ed over the direct lines through the States.
This enterprise necessitated New York
and Pennsylvania to remove their taxes
- -n o t
England
The proposition to secure franchise by
stealth through Pennsylvania, and con
Bfrn?t a thorough line from tbe West to
New York, is but a part of the grand
schema that originated tbe Great Trunk
and would be tbe consult ation of the
tame. It would benefit a few localities,
because it would hasten their development
Jbri tluK W !i',.f M wrrrt
it: bat it would be the work of death to
i Pennsylvania : commerce, ad' would' fa
time be fearfully destructive to tbe- great
industrial interests of the North! Phila
delphia and Pitinbarg are tbe great Man
ufacturing centres of this country, and
this enterprise would strike at tbe vitalg
'of both. '' It would not only'' isolate tbem
i but it must cripple them far' beyond aoy
! present calculation. Philadelphia has in-
"ku sulub luunetjn millions oi auliare
in the Pennsylvania and Philade'phia and
Erie Railroads. These investments were
made not -with the view of direct profits
on the'stuck, but mainly for the purpose
of bringing to our great commercial aud
ma'iuficturing centres a fair share of tbe
wealth of the West. Pittsburg as a
great manafaofuiitig city, gathers wealth
from East aud West, and after conipensa-
tmj her vast industry and capital, diffuses
it aga:n to 'home market; on every bandj
b'tt here conies the giai;: foe of both our
commi-iciul aud industrial prosperity and
proposes to sweep the wealth of both 'and
hike it, aitfiout tribute or any comDensa
t'.oo, to foreign market,' thus "using our
own domain to coropais our destruction
Cut there is another aud a graver ob.
jectiou to this enterprise that has not as
yet cutered into the discussion on tbe sub
ject so far as we have observed it.' It is
of course carefully concealed by the
friends of tbe measure, and perhaps many
of its opponents with most neutrals do not
at all appreciate the magnitude of the
peril this movement will eventally inau
gurate to our industry. While commerce
aud local development appear ou the sur
face to be the great aim of the English
njovenieut through the heart of the North,
it is vident, upon a careful examination
of the enterprise from its inception until
now, that its chief aim, io. English esti
mation, is to create a power in our own
midst that can be made almost totally de
structive of our industry io aoy depress,
ion of our industrial pursuits. Let it
not be forgotten that from the dW ihe
great Trunk line was originated until the
completion of the Atlantic and Great
W cstctn, the English investments in Rail
roads have not been made to pay dividends
on stock. They have been made by tbe
English capitalists, who are the English
manufacturers, for the purpose of coutrol
ing ultimately the industry of both En
gland and our continent; and they need
but tbe completion of the through route
in Pennsylvania to place the manufactur
ing interests of our State and of the
North almost entirely at their mercy.
Just now this danger is not apparent.
Our industry is prosperous and we!' re
quited; but tbe time will come, in the
mutations of trade, when English coal
will blacken our wharfs as of old, and En
glish fabrics and manufactured artioles of
of all kinds will be able to compete suc
cessfully with our own. Then would the
death b!ow be struck by this gigantic En.
glish artery of trade. Then would the
fabrics of the English looms and tbe ban-
di-work of the English manufacturers
crowd our stores, aud they could be scatt
ered through the very heart of our own
enierpr'se, at nominal cost of transporta
tion, and thus would the English cheap
labor bring its work in competition with
us at our very doors from the Sea-board
to tbe Mississippi. In such a contest,
we would have no remedy to rescue us
from the remorseless grasp of English
enterprise withou; degrading our labor
to the English standard. It would be
the great artery of death, and we cannot
but regard its success as the crushing blow
to be felt iu but a few years, to all our
present high hopes of industrial progress.
Let us be wise in time If it is the in
terest of England to develop our own
State, it is ten fold more our own interest
to do it ; and the fact that the Atlantic
and Great Western proposes to develop
where the people themselves do not pre
tend to say that capital can be compensat.
iug io doing o is the very best evidence
that the enterprise must have ulterior pur
poses and'intercsts which cauootbe in har
mony with our own prosperity. We ask tbe
calm, honest, earnest attention of the leg
islature to this question, and entreat for
it an intelligent judgment that will not
lose sight of the thousand sinews of in.
d us try on which our greatness and wealth
depend. Let it not bejeopatded, and
above all let it not be placed at the mercy
of English capital, whose only hope of
success is in our own destruction. Frank.

a4 s not teaching for the good of tbe
pupils, but for filthy lucre's sake.
Resolved. That the thanks of this As
sociation are due and are hereby tendered
to the citizens of Thompsootown and vi
cinity, who manifested so much interest in
(he cause of education by attending the
Association and kecpiogthe teachers free

' .
Reading the caption of this articlo, one j
might be led to ask : Do the Democrats
sus.ain the Administration of Andrew
'Johnson 1 : We will now briefly consider-
whether in faot they do sustain him, or
whether they are merely trying to blind-
fold
the people in order to attain pow-
er.
The record of the Democratic - Party,
during tbe four years of war and blood
shed, is known to every one. They villi-
fled the administration of Abraham Lin
coln, in almost every word they spoke, in
regaid to our . natioual troubles. They
opposed the raising of armies, if not di
rectly then indirectly, at every opportu
nity. When the President called for vol
unteers they wanted a draft, when he or
dered a draft, then it was 'tyranical" meas
ure known .only to "despots." Every
measure that. was adopted to suppress the
rebellion, was, by them decried and de.-

see no point in the Constitution that
loged any power in the President to sup
press a rebellion. They advocate tbe
rijhtt of States to secede. Their Iligh
Priest, Yallandigham even had tie audi
city to propose, in Congrca, a dissolution
of the Union, but amically, of course, he
thought the interest of the different sec
tions demanded a dissolution. They
sent their men to Canada, and threatened,
and in some instances even eemmitted vi
olence on enrolling officers snd resisted
tbe draft. Tbey declared that they bad
no quarrel with the south, and therefore
had no occasion to fight. When the last
Rebel fortifications were already tottering
udder tbe roar of Federal cannon, they
yet declared that Jeff. Davis anc General
Lee were "too cunning for Lincoln and

Where was Andrew Johnson during
all this bloody struggle J Did be, al
though a Southern man, act with that
party 1 lie did not. God bless our no
ble Chieftain. In his Bative State, sur
rounded on every si da by just such men
as we have, only a little more courages, he
was sacrificing wealth and honor for the
maiotaioaoce of the Union, and tbe ad
ministration of Abraham Lincoln. lie
BtoSd as a giant rock, as an immoveable
pillar, in the cause of his country. But
he was not always in Tennessee. lie
was also in the State of Pennsylvania at
one time. lie visited our State Capitol
to speak a word of encouragement to tbe
loyal people of our Commonwealth. How
was he received f With a warm heart of
sympathy by the union men, but was re
fused tbe use of the Hall cf the House
of Representatives, by Democratic Legis
lators. Did Andrew Jodnson ever counsel ' re
sistance to the draft, or violence to en
rolling officers? Did he ever try to send
men to Canada to avid the draft, or did
be ever declare drafting as an uncoostitu-
I tional and tyranical measure? We call
upon any Democrat to point out Mr.
Johnson's public record, or any act of the
kind, if they will do so, we will cheer
fully send him over to that party, ss that
is the place where he would, in that case
properly belong. Or is the past public
record ot Mr. Johnsan, (including the
four years of war,) and the record ot the
Democratic party, in consonance with each
other ? Is the condition of reconstruc
tion, forever prohibiting slavery, which
the President so emphatically demands of
the Beceded States, in consonanc with tbe
pro-slavery principles, so loudly proclaim
ed by the Democratic Press throughout
tbe whole country 7
Tbe differene is too obvious, and the
the record too plain as to admit of any
questions.
But now they come out and claim to
sustain him as a Democrat ! Is their sus
taining him honestly meant, or is it a mere
bait to bring bim back into their ranks,
in order to build up their corrupt party ?
The latter, we prusume is the case. It is
not possible that so great a party wonld,
as a body, ebange principles so Budden.
They have merely changed their base,
still keeping tbe same ends in view get-
j ting into power

So with the Democratic Party and An

have "pulled him out" already "consid

to examine closely, they will find their
mistake.

last four years, I am ashamed to say a
word iu vindication of Johnson's admin

can do to make us a name again." Theso
are the reasons why they sustain him in
outward appearances ; it is not that the
President - is tending any nearer their
views, or that they have changed their
priiiiijile for the better.
A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Kalamazoo, Mich., correspondent of
Detroit Advertiser, relates the following :
"A Mrs. Howland, who has long been
a resident of this county, and who has
been hopelessly insane for nearjy thirty
years, was sent for by her husband in Cal
ifornia. Accompanied by her daughter-in-law,
ibey left here and proceeded on
their journey by steamer. When out
about four days from New York a most
violent storm arose, which lasted three
days, seriously threatening the destruc
tion of the steamer and all on board.
When, however, tbe storm abated, what
was tbe surprise and delight of tbe daugh
ter to fiud that tbe old lady had suddenly
recovered her mind and was perfectly
sane, though she was at loss to know how
she was in the place, and nnder the cir
cumstances she found herself on awaken
ing from such a long sleep of the intel
lect facualtits. On arriving at San Fran,
cisco what was the astonishment of the
husband to meet her whom he bad not
seen for nine years, an d whom he deemed
hopelessly a maniac, sound and well, joy
fully recognizing him. This was a year
ago.
Letters recently received by her friends
here state that there has been no return
of the disease whatever, and that she is
well and entirely cured. Is there anoth
er such a case of cure ou record T
About Slkioh Riding and Widows.
A friend of ours who has made sleigh
riding the study of his life, assured us
that widows (young of course,") where the
best consolation in a sleigh ride. They
are reputed dangerous, but the peril, per
haps, enhances the pleasure. If a wid
ow is not attainable, the single blessed
are eligible as substitutes. Very young
ladies are not desirable ; tbey are apt to
fret frightened if the hwrse should run
away, aud don't enjoy the "spills." It
requires a good deal of dexterity to con
duct the "spills" properly. Care should
be taken in the selection ot a spot where
the snow is pretty deep. The lady should
have time to compose herself gracefully
for tbe plunge. Tbe gentleman should '
throw a somersault over the lady, so as
not to fall on her when she is shot out.
The lady should be pitched out gracefully
at the side of the sleigh. In case she is
buried deep in the enow bank, do not at
temp to pull her out by her balmorals, or
wait until she is thawed otit out, Drive
to tbe nearest hotel, take a drink, borrow
a shovel, and go back and dig her out
like a man. '

tance, who though extremely avarioious,
was always abusing the avarice of others,
added.
"Is it not strange that zVi man will
