Perry and Franklin; and by their proceedings have borne their testimony to the importance and ohligition of observing the Lorna day, as a ally of rest from all worldly brininess or eniployment; and appointed the' nabscribeis as a committee to Wrens yen, re-i questing that you would misspend the travel of your oars on the Cumberland Valley Railroad company on the Sabbath. As the committee I of the convention, and nn Stockholders of the company of whose affairs you are managers, we respectfully invite your attention to the sub ject. The Sabbath we consider a divine insti tution, by the appointment of the Almighty,' and conneerated:by the observance of a Christ inn people. By Legislative enactment from the' first 'settlement of Pennsylvania, the violation j of the Lord's day by worldly employment or business was subjected to penalties. It is to j ho,remarked, that the first colonists, when preparing to embark for their new settle ment in Pennsylvania, proclaimed an manor the fundamental laws of the colony, ss Tint trery first 'jay If Me week, rolled Me Lard's day, people shall abeninfrom their common da il y la boors" and ono of tho first laws of the first Le gisfeture assembled in the colony, was en act prohibiting Worldly employment end business on the Lord's day, which, with little variation In term*, hag continued the low of the common wealth. until this day. &mind to the Lord's day, as 3 divine insti -1 tution, and submission to the, enactment and and policy of positive law, has induced, I throughout the mailmen wealth, ant observance of the day, that aught to be piainoted,we by all who regent the prosperity of our State, land the morals of its citizens. Our courts of justice and halls of legislation are closed on that (lay. frmn the business of the other days of the week. Public opinion fines not tolerate asserehlien of the people on that day fair any purponiss except tier religious worship, nr religious mod moral instruction. As officers of your corporation, you would not consent meetend Het in the exercise of your eorporate powers on the Sabbath. As the President and illllgerA are not disposed, or do not feel them selves at liberty; to act on that day In the sphere of their corporate capacity, why shall it, by your authority, he imposed on your subor dinates and agents, to be engagad in transport-1 ins; your cars on the Sabbath as they do on other days-- , in violation of law, in corruption of such agents, and to the evil example of the public. The transportation of these ears leads to the desecration or the Sabbath by those em ployed, es well 213 in the travel Induced ; but also interrupts the order, peace and quiet of the day. in our towns and attracting the attention of young and old from its observance, and at times interfering with and disturbing Christian worship ill Ott r churches. Vie deean it unnecessary to enlarge upon the evils attendant on tilia Ira vel, ns they have no doubt been presented to the observation of your intelligent Board. The committee would fur ther represent, that they are informed that the cessation of business during the Sabbath on ea- rime r s Canals and llailroadn in this and other States hue operated to the manifest advantage of all the interests concerned In the trade of those thoroughfares. On the collier railroads of this State business is suspended during the I Sabbath, and nit the Lehigh Cu rani and on the Delatvare Division of the. Stale Canal. Tho committee are also ielonnell that the nrs are not run on any Railroad in the New England States on the Sabbath, except the train froin Now York, which' goes into Boston early on. Sabbath morning. Public opinion has, within the last twoyeara, been strongly' xpressed in several respectable conventions, Within this State, recommending to the Canal Commissioners and the Legisla• ture,the cessation from travel rind transportation on the public works of the State on the Sab• bath, and:memorials subserlhed in many couns ties by great nninbers of eititens have express ed their desire that there should be that cessa tion. The committee suppose. that from the limit ed transportation no tho Cumberland Valley Railroad on the Sabbath, and the disinclination of many porsons to travel on that day, that the business done on the Sabbath in the rumaing of cars cannot be advantageous or profitable to the company; and that to suspend the running of the cars on that day, would not only relieve the conductors, engineers, and firemen, and others, from employ moat on the Sabbath, but be to the pecuniary advantage of the company. If, as managers of the company, you feel yourselves constrained by engagements with other Railroad companies, or as mail carriers, to prosecute the Sabbath travel, unless you are relieved from such obligations to others, we ask you to make knownlour desire to tliscon• tinue the use of your ears on the Sabbath, and give the Christian community the Influence of your opinion in favor of such suspension; and that the public may know with whom the re sponsibility rests, Whether it be any other Railroad company or the Governments agents., 1614 ORGE •CHANII HERS, WILLIAM HEYSER, FREDERICK SMITH.
