TUESDAY MORNING, FEB. 5, 1861.
THE SUNBURY AND ERIE RAILROAD,
AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
When, in 1860, the Sunbury and Erie rail
road company made application to the Legis
lature, their enterprise was already far ad
vanced towards completion. In the Eastern
Division, 82 miles from Sunbury to Wheatham
station, and in the Western Division, 66 miles,
from Erie to the borough of Warren, were en
tirely finished, and in operation. In the Mid
dle Division, the work of grading and bridging
having been placed under contract, was being
pushed vigorously forward.
There were, therefore, at that time, of the
whole length of the road, which is 288 miles,
finished and in operation,_ 148 miles; ready to
receive the superstructure, 100 miles ; leaving
ungraded, 40 miles.
These latter were since, notwithstanding the
heavy financial pressure under which the Com
pany labored, considerably reduced, so that at
present there remain only 23 miles in an un
graded state.
In the annual report of the board of mana
gers to the meeting of the stockholders, held
February 73th, 1860, it was shown that the
entire work might be completed in somewhat
more than one year from that:date, It was also
shown that the company were possessed of the
means requisite for that purpose, consisting in
bonds and other valuable securities, of which,
however, they could not avail themselves, for
reasons which will be explained presently.
The treasurer's account of the receipts and
expenditures, contained in the same document,
exhibits the financial condition of the company
up to January Ist, 1860, as follows;

The report of the engineers appointed by the
Governor, in pursuance of the act for the sale
of the canals, passed in 1858, gives a detailed
estimate of the cost for completing the unfin
ished portion of the road, and a statement of
the assets of the company, as required by the
6th section of that act, fully sustaining the re
port of the board of managers, as may be seen
from the following extract:

The following comcluding remarks of the
report explain the apparent discrepancy be
tween its statement of the assets of the com
pany and that given in the report of the com
pany's treasurer :
"In presenting the above statement, we have
taken the contract made with M. Courtwright,
Esq., in full amount ($1,250,000,) without any
reference to the stock subscription noted in
said contract now before us, amounting to
$BOO,OOO. This anbeeription we conceive as
properly belonging to the assets of the com
pany, though , not included in the schedule pre
sented to us by the treasurer. And we have
also omitted any finlOUnt fOT work which has
already been eompleted by M. Courtwright,
some of which, we have every reason to be
lieve, has' been paid for, though not officially
inforMed ad' ,to the .precise amount, which
amount bf:Payinents, ae ' well 'as the stook
subscription 'above allUded to, would increase
the balance noted in the above estimate, thus
enabling us as your commissioners to present
you with confidence the balance shown in the
accompanying estimate as fully sufficient to
complete the road as directed under the act of
Assembly first above noted, even supposing
that the market value of the securities should
be below par."
To explain, now, the relation which the
Stakl i e holds to the company, and the nature of
thrlogislative action asked for by the latter,
the object of which was to enable them to com
plete the road, it is necessary to revert to the
act of 1858, for the sale of the State canals.—
By that act, the Sunbury and Erie railroad
company was authorized to issue its five per
cent_ bonds for seven millions of dollars, and
secure the payment of the same by a mortgage
of its property and franchises. Its property,
at that time, consisted of forty miles of rail
road, extending from Sunbury to Williamsport,
on which there was a mortgage of one million
of dollars; a right of way from the latter
point to Erie, on which at different points some
grading had been done, and about one hun
dred and fifty acres of land in the harbor of
, Erie, with' a water front .of 3,000 feet. The
bonds and mortgages so authorized were exe
cuted, and the State received three millions
five hundred thousand dollars of the bonds, in
consideration of which the canals were granted
and conveyed to the company. The residue of
the bonds were depositea in the office of the
State. Treasurer, to be surrendered to and ap
plied by the company to the completion of the
railroad from Williamsport to the harbor of
Erie.
LETTERS TO THE PEOPLE OF PENN
SYLVANIA. .
ON THE SECTIONAL HIPP ERENC ES, WHICH PLACE
IN JEOPARDY THE UNION OF THE STATES—No. 2.
FELLOW CITIZENS :—ln my last letter, I ex
hibited the position of the seceding States, in
the view of National law, as that of de facto
Governments, cognizable by other nations, with
whom war, if waged, must be waged on the
terms of civilized warfare ; captives being
treated and exchanged as prisoners of -war,
and not regarded us traitors or rebels. I therein
showed, that neither the Constitution of the
United States, nor any existing act of Congress,
clothed the President with power, on any pre
tence whatever, to use the naval or military
force of the Union against such seceding States;
the Congress of the United States being the
only authority competent to declare war against
de facto Governments at variance with the Fede
ral Government: 4. also showed, that, in the
event of such declaration of war, fifteen States,
whose stars lately sparkled with beneficent
light in the glorious galaxy of the Union, will
at once be plunged into a fratricidal strife with
eighteen other States of the Confederacy. In
this letter, I propose to inquire into the exist
ence of any good reason for the inauguration,
by a Congressional declaration of war against
seceding States, of such horrors as a dissolution
of the Union, a destruction of trade, civilization
and commerce, general anarchy, the conversion
of fair and peaceful fields and cities into waste
places and scenes of rapine and carnage, the
erection of a military despotism and the conse
quent extinction of civil and religious freedom
among men. The argument in favor of the em
ployment of military force, urged by a partizan
press and blatant office-seekers, succintly stated
is this: Every Government has an inherent
right, and is morally bound to maintain its
integrity, against every assault, by the employ
ment, at its own discretion all the civil and
military power it possesses. The United States
is a Government, and "secession," as it is
termed, is ant4esaultonits integrity; therefore
the United States may. with every propriety,
employ its military force to put down " seces
sion.' The premises of this argument imply
that the Government of the United States is not
a Confederacy of States, but an original sover
eignty, in the absolute sense of the term. Dis
regard the anterior political individuality of
the CoMmOßWealths of the Confederacy, to
gether with their agency in framing the Con
stitution of the United States and in maintaining
it, and concede the postulate of the ancient
Federalist and the modern coercionist, that the
Government of the United States is a govern
ment in an absolute sense, because it is or
dained and established by the people who live
under it, as directly, fully, and effectually as
are the several State Governments by their
respective citizens, and the question of the
propriety of employing naval or military force
to execute the laws orthe United States within
the territory of a seceding State, in the face of
its armed resistance, presents itself in a very
different aspect from that of engaging in hos %
tilities with a creator of the Federal Govern
ment—a sovereign State of the Confederacy.—
There is a very conceivable distinction between
the dismemberment of a Confederacy of equal
sovereignties, however intimate, united and sa
cred that Confederacy may be, by the solemn
withdrawal of a member of it, and an assault
upon the integrity of an original, inherent or con
solidated sovereignty, with no feature of a Con
federacy, by a revolt or rebellion of a disaffected
portion of its citizens. While, in the latter
instance, the prompt employment of miliiary
power may be wise, appropriate and effectual.
in the former, it may be the climax of folly and
iniquity. To be sure, in both instances,
" might is apt to settle the question of right ;"
but the results of a conflict between the parties
at variance, are widely diverse in each case.
Rebellious subjects may be reduced to obedience
by military force, without any or but slight
inconvenience to the successful government;
but a free sovereignty subjugated, becomes an
enslaved province, and can never be restored
to its pristine dignity and influence. Representa
tive h'ephblicanism can no longer exist there.—
The military force which conquered it, con
verted into a military, despotism ; must hold it,
and will, in turn, usurp and destroy the gov
ernment which employed it. Borrowing an
illustration from a Roman poet, it may be said
that an artist would, with as much propriety,
incorporate the neck of an horse with the frame
of a man, as a statesman introduce military
force to coerce a State sovereignty into a Con
federacy of Representative Republics.
To determine the correctness of the argument
of the coercionist, it is therefore necessary to
ascertain whether the Government of the United
States is the Government of a Confederacy of
Sovereign States, or a Government of original,
absolute, inherent and integral sovereignty, ir
respective of any State organizations, and con
stituted by a people owing exclusive allegiance
to it as directly, immediately and fully as are
the governments of the several Commonwealths
which, in 1787, entered into the Union, regula
ted by the Constitution of the United States.
If the Government of the United States is
that of confederate Commonwealths, the argu
ment of the coercionist fails, both as respects
lawfulness and expediency ; and there is room
for an inquiry into the occasion or cause of the
sectional differenees which place in jeopardy
the union of the States, with a view to a dis
covery of some peaceful and appropriate reme
dy, as will be attempted in subsequent letters
of this series. The Federal Government, as it
has always been called, not only in its cotem
poraneenis eiposition, "The Federalist," but
also ill every State Paper since, is, as the
phrase Implies,;"nGovernmest of a eanfederacy
of 'Commonwealths." The system is federative,
based on a solemn league or compact, and not
consolidated. It is what its very title expresses,

the Government of the United States. These
States existed anterior, imperfectly united ill
the Revolutionary struggles, more perfectly in
1787, and until now, as free and independent
sovereignties, and "in order to form a more
perfect Union, establish justice, insure domes
tic tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to themselves and their
posterity," as appears from the preamble to
the Constitution, ordained and established the
Government of the United States. That Gov
mcnt was instituted for the benefit of each and
all of its creating States and to the injury of
12091P—IL Government to he felt by its blessings,
rather than by its power. It is a measure of
political convenience and expediency, on the
part of its constituting States, intended to be
perpetual, because of the presumed perpetuity
of such convenience and expediency. It is a
Government which maintains itself solely by
answering the ends of its original creation.—
It derives its power from the consent of the
people of the respective Stoles, who have a natu
ral right to alter, modify or change it, when
ever it fails to answer the ends for which it
was created, which were purely beneficent, and
not injurious or oppressive. The history and
prominent features of the Constitution of the
United States are these of a confederacy of
sovereign States. The thirteen original Com
monwealths, which confedereted together in the
Revolutionary struggle, framed and ratified
the Constitution, of 1787, in their separate State
capacity. That Constitution provides for the
admission of new States into the Union on the
same terms with the original States, and for
the equal representation of the States, however
numerically unequal, in the Senate of the United
States. The Constitution throughout, from
beginning to end, is but a written expression
of terms and conditions, of compacts and
agreements, between the equal State sovereign
ties of the Confederation, in relation to limita ,
tions voluntarily imposed therein, on their
respective original sovereignty and to the
delegation of certain governmental functions
to the Government instituted and marked out
by it. If the Government of the United States
be not a federative system, what mean those
provisions of its Constitution which refer to
the apportionment and election of Representa
tives in Congress in the several Stoics, in their
distinctive capacity, to a choice of President
and Vice-President, by State Electoral Colleges,
and, on failure thereof, by the several States,
voting as equals in the Rouse of Representa
tives of the United States ? What means the
seventh article of the Federal Constitution,
when it provides "that the ratification of the
Convention of nine Stales shall be sufficient
for the establishment of this Constitution
between the States so ratifying the same?" , What
means the final attesting clause of the same
Constitution, as follows, viz. ;—" P 999 in Con
vention by the unanimous consent of States
present?" What means the tenth article of the
amendments to that Constitution, which pro
vides that the powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constittitioe, nor prohibited by It
to the States, are reserved to the States respectively
or to the people?
On the whole, it is perfectly manifest that
the Government of the United States is not
that of an original, inherent, integral and ab
solute sovereignty, as is a government directly
instituted by the people in their sovereign
capacity, such as this noble old Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania; but is the creature of pre ,
viously distinct and independent States, who
have never merged or consolidated their sepa
rate State existence, and whose compact of
Confederation is contained in a written Consti
tution, delegating certain limited, statutory
and express governmental functions or au
thorities to the Government originated by it.
If this be not so, what significancy eon be et
welled to the emblematic and heraldic stars
emblazoned on the flag of the Union ? Each
of t.lose stars represents a State of the Union
and symbolizes the great political truth, that
as each star, in the shining heavens, is the sun
of a separate planetary system, the centre and
source of light, heat, gravitation, attractien
and of all guiding, controlling and governing
influence, so each State, in its own political
sphere, is independent and sovereign in its
governmental dignity and action. A conser
vative view of "State Rights," of which a brief
and imperfect exposition has been attempted,
not only condemns a coercion• of a State with
drawn from the Union, as unconstitutional, in
expedient, monstrous and ruinous, but like
wise repudiates the dogma of " constitutional
secession,"
or a right derivable from and re
cognized by the Constitution itself, and to to
exercised at the sole pleasure and discretion 9f
each retiring State to dismember the Union.
"Secession," so called, can only be properly
regarded in the light of a revolutionary mea
sure, to be justified as rightful when in redress
of insufferable wrong. which cannot, within
the workings of the Constitution, otherwise
than by a recurrence to original sovereignty,
be redressed. The safe is the middle course
between " the Scylla" of " constitutional coer
cion" on the one side, and "the Charybdis" of
"constitutional secession" on the other. The
sound and conservative expositor of the Fed
eral Constitution on this point should hold
that the Constitution has not provided any
redress for grievances by means of -revolution'
or "secession," for the obvious reason that its
framers never anticipated the occurrence of
intolerable political wrongs or injuries to a eon
federate State, under its proper working. Nor
can such wrong be done, or even threatened,
to a State of the confederacy, save by a gross
perversion and abuse of power vested by the
Constitution in the Federal Government. It,
is only by an entire perversion of Federal
power, that a collision between individual
States, or sections of States, about essential
interests, can be brought about.
In my next. letter I propose to demonstrate
that the cause or occasion of the sectional dif
ferences, which now imperil the Union, is an
attempted gross and intolerable perversion and
abuse of the governmental authority or power,
delegated by the States, in the Federal Consti
tution, to the Government designated therein,
threatening destruction to the essential inter
ests and property of the slaveholding States,
by a dominant and overbearing sectional party
in the non-slaveholding States of the confeder
acy. JACOB LEIBLEB,
