The moontide is hot, and our foreheads are brown Our palm 3 are all shining and hard; Right close to our work with the wain and the fur And but poor i 3 onr daily reward. Bat there is jay in the sunshine and mirth hi the heitl That skims wiiiltling away overhead; Our whits are light, though our skins may be dark And there's peace with our meal of brown brae& We dwell in the meadow -5, we toil on the sod, Far away from the city's dull gloom; And more jolly are we, though in rags we may be, Than the pale faces over the loom. Then a song and a cheer for the bonnie grew etearg Climbing up to the sun wide and high; For the pitchers, the rakers, and merry hay:mikes* And the beautiful Midsummer sky. Come forth, gentle ladies—come forth, dainty sink . And lend us your presence awhile; Your garments will gather no stain from the beet. And a freckle wont tarnish your smile. Our carpet 'l"3 more soft for vour delicate feet Than the pile of your velveted. door; And the air of our balm-swarth is surely as Avit I As the perfume of Ara Ly's shore. Come forth, noble masters, come forth to the fea t Where freshness and health may be found; Where first wind-rows are spread, to the butterfly's bails And the clover-bloom falleth around. Then a song and a cheer for the bonnie green seenits Climbing up to the sun wide and high; For the pitchers, and rakers, and merry heymakefts And the beautiful Midsummer sky. "Hold fast!" cries the wagoner, loudly and quicit 4 And then comes the hearty "Gee-wo!" - While the cunning old team horses manage to pick A sweet mouthful to munch as they go. The tawny-faced children come rourulua to Alp, And bravely they scatter the heap; Till the tiniest one, all outspent with the fun, Is curled up with the sheep-dog asleep. Old age sitteth clown on the haycock's fairctonn4 At the close of our laboring day; And wishes his life, like the grass at his feet, May be pure at its "passing away." Then a song and a cheer for the bonnie green sack, Climbing up to the sun wide and high, For the pitchers, and rakers, tend merry haratkatilli . And the beautiful Midsummer sky. The Commonwealth, at the rela- In the Sum tion of David Leech, and others. Court ofreos vs. syliranii, MA* The Canal Commissioners of Penn- die District, Sylvania. 1343 May Telt* J This case originated upon the petition of trailid Leech, James M Davis, James Steel & Co., and fir G. Dutilh & Co., who complained that the responds ~,. euts, John B. Butler, Levi Reynolds, and Willie& Overfield, in Dec miter, 1842, entered into a centred with C aileron & Wilson, by which there was secures' - to them the exclusive privilege to carry passengers OVI the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, in rissoles* cars, which, it was alleged, they were tinattthoriaells and it was in violation of law, to do. The Relate** also complain that the respondents, in pursuance of the Act of the lst of July, 1842, have procured ataninbor of trucks, and made certain regulations, allowing dig same robe used on the Philadelphia and Colombia Ana Allegheny Portage Railroad, without any charge fa motive-power: while others carrying merchandise ill their own cars, or using their own trucks. were oblig ed to nay the State for motive-power: by all which, it was alleged, a few would soon obtain a monopoly d(' the carrt.ing trade. The respondents returned for answer to this alit, that it was true they had entered into a contract with Cameron & Wilson for carrying passengers on the Philadelphia and Columbia Roilroad, and that they. exercised the right to do so by authority conferred mi them by the Acts of the Bth and 16th of April, 1843. They also admitted the allegations of the Relators. that they had purchased trucks for the Commonwealthi and had made certain regulations respecting the chasls es for the use of them, but denied that they had made no charge for motive-power. But on the contrary, while they charged those who used their own cars, toll and motive-nower for tonnage and toll and motives power for wheels; as to section-boats carried upon the State trucks, their owners were charged the same toll and motive power for tonnage, and a gross sum ot thirty-seven and a half cents per thousand pounds for the use of the trucks, which they alleged was bat another name for motive-power toll on wheels, snii that the charges thus made on one class otcanietiS• and the other, were as nearly equal as their experienee would enable the respondents to estimate. But the respondent: also claimed to have the authority tustiste the existing laws of the State to adopt such reedier tions, and impose sure tolls and charges, as In dish judgment, would best promote the public irrterestp They then further answered, that the system they had adopted, and the rezulations they had:made, had greeb... ly promoted the public interests. by introducing a rah' competition, which had reduced the price of transpoo tation, increasing_ the public revenue, and restored the public %v./irks to the State authorities from the hands o f the R e l a tors, wh r hail heretofore been enabled to monopolize the whole carrying business and the priers of transportation. Upon this return, the Relators asked the Court t 8 award a peremptory mandamus; and the question was argued before a full Court by William M. Meredith and Thaddeus Sieves", £i-' quires, for the Relators; and Frederick Watts, Esq., for the respondents. The opinion of the Court was delivered by ChiefJav tice Giasos. JAMES YATES Gtnso:s, C. J.—The conclusion at which we have arrived in respect to the merits of the complaint, makes it necessary to act on the motion to quash the writ. The Commonwealth's lines of canals and railroad* are not highways, which the citizen is not entitled ID use of common right; or what would, in England, be called, in technical lan g uage, the King's highways, which are free and common passages for his people. Like the crown there, the Commonwealth here, as pa. rens patrie, or general trustee of popular franchisee. has highways which are free to all the citizens; bat, such are not railways and canals. Being made at her particular coat, they ire, so to speak, her private pro perty; and they are conseqnently *subject to her eerie , sive use, or the use of those whom she forms them for her emolument. But she does 'hot permit individuals to use them as she permits them to use her highwr so . properly so called, which are common to all. citizen has a personal interest in the public works 'tils true; not however immediately as a proprieter, but re motely as a member of the community. These rail ways and canals, are held by the State as others ass held by incorporated companies whose men hers hags no greater right to use them than have their fellow cit izens who are not corporators; and the public lines partake even less of the character of highwaya, Mar much as the State might suspend the 13413 of - theM or close the business on them entirely by virtue of its SOT. ereign power; which might not be done by a wrProe lion whose power is granted on en implied co • that the public accommodation afforded by its be not discontinued. This principle of the State's &ballots ownership of the property, and consequent td control the use of it for the public benefit, witat to. ; mart' to the private inte.ests of individuals, is of snob importance to the question berme tot, that it may be said to lie at the very root of it.
