Patenant to,L adjournment, l l a meeting Of the Stockholdera of the Connellsville and-Pittsburgh Railin ' ad2;Comiiani was held: et Philo Hall, on Saturday afternoon last. The meeting was organ-, ized by callingiWw.Ereaastris, Esq ;to the Chair, and the appointment Of E. D. Gazzam and I , Wm, Darlictaton„Esiirs., as Seirmaries. After which • Mr; Robinson, from the &aid of ;Directors, made a: report in which if was recommended that fur ther time be givento the Direeters to eonsider up -011 the 'severe] Pro Positions which have been made; to the'Crimpanyi; „ tuore especially as the friends; of the undertaking abroad were still sanguine in', their expectatioasof being able to accomplish the! wishes Of those most interested in its success.; Mr, It moved that the Committee from the city of' Baltimpre, noWiiiesent, be invited to present to the Meeting ttiessVvishes and vietis of those whom 'they represent; which tieing acceded to.-- John Glenn, Esq..., of Baltimore, rose and made Iv few remarks, explanatory of the position of the friends of this; enterprise; and assuring the meet. int of. a hearty arid liberal support from the sev eral chases of citizens whom theyrepresentedH the professional Men, the mercantile, and the mo nied interests, especially. Mr., G. assured the meeting that the connexion must Merlin bly-teke place; that, even if the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company Were now averse.' to the proposition which had been made to them, the force of circumstances would eventually compel them to comply with the vrishestof his colleagues, their friends, and this company. J. S. Craft, Esq., followed, reciprocating, on the part of the citizens of Pittsburgh, the kind ex presaions which had been made b'y the gentleman from Baltimore, and is support of further efforts to attain the object "sired. Wilson 14'Candless, Esq., warmly favored im• mediate action, and the location of western track; ' had no - hope of forts - ring a connexion with the Bel timbre and Ohio Railroad while Itir; IlFLane should , 1 be„President;.and suggested that, the gentle- Ert 1 en from Baltimore came without being author!. zed,to do any thing, he could not see any propriety lb considering this matter any longer. Gazzarn made a warm appeal to the friends of- the proposed connexion, to resolve on doing something. He thought that there might be less blame to attach to the Baltimore and Ohio Corn. pany than many thought; and he had no doubt that if , we went on independently, acting with a view to : the interests of. Pittsburgh alone, the con nexion• Would be established. 'He vs'as in favor of obtaining an additional subscription to the stock, fur this purpose. " A gentleman from Westmoreland remarked that, in that county alone, subscriptions of stock to the amount of $760,000 might be obtained Hon. Andrew Stewart tho ught there had been talking enough. He was in favor of action, and therefore submitted a resolution Authorizing the Board of Directors to open the books . of the Com pany at the various villages and towns, and in the event of their not being enough obtained in this way, in the principal cities of the eastern States , . Mr. S. felt certain that the full amount necessary to complete the road to the State line,- 'could thus be obtained. Thus the road could be taken to Within ,forty miles of Cumberland ; "arid; it this were done, he thought there would - be a certainty of its continuance to that point. He 'then offered a resolution authorizing the President and Direc tors to open the Books for additional subscriptions. Hon...Tlarnaar Denny made a few very appropri ate remarks sustaining the resolution: , He com batted the idea of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road Company coming'in, if , the books were open ' ed, and destroying this Company; - but if they should do so, he could not see that thaact would be any worse in them, than in the Company itself. He was for holding on to the charter, and acting under it. • • N. B. Craig was astonished at thc_change in sen timent of the- gentleman who last spoke. The &art of the Baltimore and, Ohio Company had haunted him from the first, and it still haunted him; but that gentleman who once so much dreaded that Company was now willing to open the books, and thus let them secure the - power to ruin this Company. Mr. Denny replied. Ile was not in the habit of indulging in personalities; but excused the gen tlentan last up. --a s it was his uniform custom.— He- sustained the position which he had taken in favor of opening the books. Mr. Plum Mer, of Westmoreland, said that the people of.his county were willing to give their land, for the Railroad to paM over; and . wished the Wok's to be re-opened. Mr MCandless thought this prop:ositiqn, of the, gentlemen from Fayette preposterous. a lt seemed to him as nothing better than insanity. Mr. Craft thought that a certain letter written; froth Baltimore, on a certain occasion, as giving a much stronger indication'of insanity and from the reference to many expressions in the 'letter re ferred to, , raised a tremendous burst of latighter at the gentleman,who,preeeded him. ' Hen. Walter Forward then rose and' made a strong appeal to the reason, „the common seose, and ell the better feelings of gentlemen present and in faVos of opening the,-hooks. He could not believe that, if our, road were completed ' , to the State:line,there, would be a single obstrcle . pre sented in Maryland to a connexioavvith Baltimore. The remarks of. Mr.. F.- were often intercepted by loud , burats of aPplause and when he sat;down, the demonstr ation of approbation was almostdeaf • - ening. • .• • Mr. Gebhert- Made a feiv remarks—stating that be WaSin-favorOtthis preposition, and - that, from what - he had beardfrom the mast ' Kealthy VHS • NEE MEE , ;• , +.. • . 3 ; r •' - . - r • • •1 - • t ~ ~.
