Wood, Governor of Ohio, in which the '.noise
and confusion” stories of the Whigs in relation to
Gen Cass were completely knocked into a cocked

pppera from continuing to vtlUfy and misrepresent
the opinions of the distinguished Senator trom

aed to conatrucl tho road are not anrpaaacd, it

Village of Greenville, of which Mr. Philip Cossett
was Chairman, for the purpose of adopting measures
to establish a communication by Railroad along the
valley of the Allegheny from Pittsburgh to Olesn.
Alter setting forth the necessity for such a work.tho
meeting passed the following among other resolu.
Resolved, That connection by railroad, from or
near Oleau, in Now York, to Pittsburgh, would se
cure ell the above objects; and inasmuch ae tho Al
legheny riser, by Warren, the Clarion river and

COUHBSPO NDENCB 07 TUB MOBRINQ ; POST.]
My Dear Post .’—lnasmuch as legislative affairs
at Harrisburg are jußt now bearing upon some
matters of interest to your section oi the Com**
monwealth, we have decided give you a lew
items in relation thereto, and our own opinions
upon the future and final result of the whole mat-
In the first place, you are aware that there are
two chartered companies m existence m the west-
ern part of the State, both of which dawn the nghi
to construct a ratlroad from Erie, along the Lake
shore, to the Ohio State line, to wit: the Pitta
bargh and Erie Railroad Company, and the Frank
lin Canal Company. Both of these companies
have surveyed, placed under contract this Lake
Shore Road, and actually commenced the work.
It is a curious fact, notwithstanding all this strife
between these companies to build this line of tm*
provement, that neither of them have any right
to do.so, except an assumed one growing out of
an evasive construction placed upon their charters,
both of which, it appears, have more latitude than
longitude; and both companies are suspected by
the people of the West, and by the Legislature,
with the design to extend latitudinally from Erie
to the Ohio Ime, connecting with the great New
York and Ohio lines, and limiting their longitude
towards Pittsburgh or Franklin to the extent ab
solutely nectuary to accomplish their prime and
original object.
This action on the part of these companies is,
at least, an imposition upon the Legislature and
the public ; but they have overreached or gotten
a little ahead of the Legislature, in the present
state of affairs, and it is now deemed advisable to
decide, by further enactments, between these com
panies, and secure, if possible, the completion of
the entire line from Erie to Pittsburgh, or to some
point on the Pennsylvania anil Ohio Road, making
a direct railroad communication between those
points This is now thought to be the only prac
tical course in which to legislate upon the subject,
though it Is at the same time believed that an act,
or a provision, prohibiting either of these compa
nies from making the Lake Road, or forming any
connection between the New York and Ohio lines
in any manner whatever, would be most advisa
ble and politic, could such an act or provision
be effected at the present session of the Lcgisla-
tore. ,
A bill has to day passed the Senate treating the |
Franklin Canal Company as an imposition or a ,
fraud, and giving the right contended for by them
to the Pittsburgh nnd Erie Company, provided
they ahall in five years completo the entire line to
Pittsburgh, or to some point on the Pennsylvania
and Ohio Road as above stated.
An effort, however, will bo made in the other
branch to deny the right to make this Lake Road
to both of the above mentioned companies, and
bring the advantage and value which is known to
be identified with it to bear in favor of the Sun
bnry and Erie route, which really has room fuends
in the Legislature than any other in the State of
Pennsylvania. Indeed, a reconsideration or the
vote of the Senate upon the measure pcndiog may
be made, for the purpose of engrafting upon it
gome such restrictive or prohibitory provisions.
Judge Ives, one of the bc»t Senators that Penn
aylvania ever had in her Chamber, moved such an
amendment to-day, and urged the same with an
argument as convincing as it was eloquent, but It
failed by one vote.
Gen Packer. Mr. Crabb, Mr. Matthias and eev
era! other Senators, think this, above all. the beat
course lor the interests of the State , but it it
cannot be effected they will go for giving the e*.
elusive (lower to the Pittsburgh and Erie Corapa.
ny. ,
The interest of Pittsburgh and the extreme
West is undoubtedly couuected with this compa-1
oy ; that is, ii thev are compelled to open a lino
of railroad from Pittsburgh to Erie, but they have
as much interest against a connection between the
great New York and Ohio roads, which will
‘ throw the Lake trade entirely beyond their reach,
as any part of Pennsylvania con have. This
Lake road is the most promising locality tocapit.
alisls for a railroad on the continent of America
—perhaps in the world; and while it is conceded
that the slock of the Pittsburgh and Erie Com
pany will be made up of New York capital, it is
felt to be important that the capital invested in
ihai important link of public highways should
be owned and controlled by a Pennsylvania com
pany, with a Pennsylvania interest. It is well un
derstood that if the banbury and Erie road
is ever built it must be done with Pennsylvania
I capital, as New York has no interest for the road,
but much against it, because of its rival charac
ter This view of the subject gives the Sunbury
route a preference in the hearts as well as in the
minds of Pennsylvanians, and will give that route
the preference in this contest, if it can possibly
be effected If not, the Pittsburgh and Ene.Com
pany will get the privilege of making the Lake
shore road, and will bo obliged to complete a road
from the vicinity of Mercer to the borough ol
New Castle, or some point on the Ohio and Penn
sylvania road, and slock the same for use before I
they can make any dividends whatever. They |
will, also, in that event, be compelled to com
plete the entire line before they can make
dividends greater than sir per cent. They
will, also, be prohibited from making any dis
criminations in fixing their rates of toll in favor
of merchandize passing towards New York or
Ohio, under the penalty of forfeiture of their
charter.
The Canal Commissioners will, at the same
time, have power to discriminate m favor of
Pennsylvania, and thus it is hoped to result in
bringing the burdens of trade over our public
works, or the Central Railroad, and to a Penney!*
vacia market. Many, however, think that East'
ern Pennsylvania has very little interest in this en
terprise, inasmuch as it will have the effect to
open a communication between the wateia of the
Ohio and the Lakes, and become a thoroughfare
for the State of New York. We think so too,
but still are in favor of opening all possible ave*
nues to commerce, and enhancing the value of
oroperty everywhere. As ever,
. FRANKLIN.

Something about Minnesota.
Our old friend D. A. Rodebtsoit,' formerly Mar* I
B hal of Ohio, and at present editor of tho Minnesota 1
Democrat, published oi*Sawt Paul, gives some very ]
interesting information m relation to that new and
flourishing territory mhis paper of tho 12th of March.
He says I Tho progress of Minnesota during the
present year in tho towns, and in tho country, will
astonish every bodv. We have the soil, the climate?
and the market —the best market this side ofCahfor
i nifl— in ehortj every essential to successful agricuU
turo, except a sufficient number of farmers to aup
ply the home demand.
11 We oxpect a considerable immigration of far«
mere on the opening oi navigation. rhey will find
plenty of vaiuablo government land lo claim, pre*
empt or enter, in all surveyed parte of the Territory,
except Within, aay, five miles around St. Paul, and
tho immediate vicinity ofStillwator and Si. Anthony
Falls. We regret that all the public land is not
free, tn limited quantities to actual st-tllcrs only.—•
Yet, as it is, farmers will find no difficulty in getting
started and making maaey, with even but email
moanaat tho commencement.
“ Ao indualrtoua, ttirilty, intelligent farmer ; or
mechanic is cerium of soccesa In Minnesota. Wo
are not swaro or any honest business or prolcssion,
that is crowded here, ciccpt the legal prolcssion.
Wo base almost ns many lawyers asclrenta. But
few of thorn do half as well in money makiog, as
they conld at larmiog or w orking at a trade.
| «• Capital can bo invested here to great advantage.
A moderate amount of money—two or three thou
sand dollars—will enable a business man fs accom
plish as much as he could with three or four times
I that sum in any of the old States.
| «< To all who havo written us tor information, ca
-1 cepting only young lawyers, without means or legal
I experience, we say come—come with the nuplc-
I manta of trade and husbandry—come with aiout arms,
I resolute purpose, hooost hoarts, intelligent minds
1 and healthy bodies, and you will thrive and accu-

was proven by a stratagem. The citizens started a
rumor that two persona were following tho negro in
hot haste, whereupon ho fled precipitately, loiving
the horses behind him. The enure population ot
tho village gave chase, but Iho colored gentleman
was too swill for thqm all. Thoy captured only his
coat end pocket book, in which they found the name
of Richard Robinson. The horses aro at Mr. Clapp a
