though I see around me upon every side gentlemen whci
hare long honored me with their !Headship, , and who
are high in my regard; I know too well the relation sub-

men, to presume that it is to personal borer alone, that
this distinction is to be ascribed.

Interests (except a Met Interval ' ) fern period of twelve
years, and who when drawn away hy probe:bout an..
moments in the West , r- .tarred to you at the earliest
opportunity, as be hopes again, to do.
It seems unnecessary here to recur to the reasons
• which led to my recent severance from those works of
your County, with which I have been fur tome years
connected, except to say that the steps taken were with
deliberation, on eonsultatioi with friends, and from a
conviction - that I could not by a farther continuance at

toy own, or ems preset my • Alabama Xagineer IRMO

illy regrets at leaving the honorable positions lately

I have so long keen serving, and a beautiful mark of
whom regard I now bear upon my breast, and value

the Opportunity of further sing the interests of a

kindness, and in whose welfare I feel now andever most
deeply concerned. _
And this brings me to speak of the peculiar feature of
my recent mitre which bore so strongly on your future
_interests, Incas the New York Chat flearinglinythrougA
the Allentown A'aitroad and fla connerlints.
When my attention was first called to that llne by the
late John Y. A. Sauteed, Prq then the President or the
Dauphin and Susquehanna Railroad, (an able and hoe
- orab o man, abandon!' has been a estious blotto our
enterprise.) I found to my surprise that it was ' looked
upon by h im, and subsequently by the °Mem of the
Central Railr oad of New Jersey, ass 'mere freight and
passenger line, giving to the city of New York a some
what more direct connexion through the Pennsylvania
Railroad, with the head eaters of ,the Oda river, and
the Railroad Hoes diverging from Pittsburg. •
The Idea that it should become a great that bearing,
liar, likely to poses' cut advantages fir future good,.
Minot then appear to be seriously entertained by the
gentlemen upon whom the promotion of the Allentown
Railroad seemed mainly to end.
When however, I was called upon In July, 1855, to re,
eonnoltre the route; with • vierrict its commercial mer
its, and the speedy construction of the 'work, I found
upon a rigid scrutiny of its eourceser serene, that with
oat a portion of the that business el &Akeyikiii county, it
could not be repaying enterprise.;
• • This important point derided, the location was con
belled by it; and then alone the great professional gun
don, whether the contour of the ground between the
Schuylkill Gap of the blue Mountain end the town or
Allentown, upon the Lehigh River, afforded such physi
cal facilities as would enable an Engineer to locate a
Railroad line across the country, which could in an y

town upon the Lehigh River, which gave a distance of
40 miles, and a cost tor a single -track railroad without
equipments of only $1,600,000.
Upon no part of this route, does the grade against the

This gives us the true element of comparison between
on, Allentown route, and the vest coal bearing line, the
Reading Railroad.
For where the Reading Railroad turns a minimum
curve about like ours, upon a teed, we have an ascent

Your Resolutions, therefore, of May 4th, were Prater'

stnite strongly if necessaiy, against any and all wife
vorable alterations of the line or plan.
' There has always been a strong party in New York
who would persist in view! the Allentown line as 5
mere codunercial route, a d Who were unwilling -to
adopt the pentads n teacake it a Cool bearing
line also. i
I was finally indeed upon the late John F. A. gen
!brit, Rau, for a report upon the grades, In which Lew r
commended aseptencelly, the low gradients necessary '
for a Opal tine, and I succeeded-in satisfying him. that ;
without a gond portion of the Coal' business 'of your

tarns& To this gentleman's boom be ItaW that he
ever after firmly adhered to our Allentown line as a thaf
bearing Railroad, and to him we are greatly indebted
for its relent position, such as It is, or lately was.
Then, as now, I was confident that the Coal trade was
necessary to the sumo of the Altesnown Road, and here
in lays your main security Kohut improper alterations
of the line or plan. If to save a little money in the ,
graduation. the Coal (gradients should be abandoned.
there an, be no doubt that the Allentown Railroad
world fail es a paying work, and theretbre If the, Com
pany reject the Coal. the result will be eimp`y that [key
will caraulaie sport the wreck of, the Direpittn, the cask

Changes of men howerer, generally lead to changes of
measures. and it Is therefore, touch to be deplored that
this fine line has fellers into the hands of • general

From a common point upon the Pennsylvania Railroad,
to the My of New York, the differenee of distance in
