: -- England has been ready foryears to make
almost any sacrifice to coirol our trade.
__ In this it has had a twti-fold purpose.
Its first aim was- to Nipple our industry
• and paralyze our commerce and improve
ments, and ItsssCeouthoy atm was to pos
sess the
s trode :which should enrich our
own commercial emporiums. ', - Acting
tip
on this policy, the English government s
authorized the construction of the Great

ling stock and all its property, were ex
empted from taxation. • Thus were mil
lions of dollars made free from the opprea
' sive taxes of the English government sole
ly for the purpose of striking a fatal blow
at the commerce. the industry and trans
porting lines of this country:. By this en
. terprise the English carrier ,now gives a
bill of lading in Detroit or Chicago through
to Liverpool, and a few years ago the
English line could carry a barrel of flour
`through Canada to Portland and front
- thence to New York or Philadelphia at-fi
*BD cost or certainly not a greater cost,
,than it could be transported over the di
rect lines through the States. This en
terprise necessitated New York and Penn
sylvania to remove their taxes on tonnage,
or surrender the whole teeming wealth of
the west to the grasp of England.
'The proposition to secure franchises by
stealth through Pennsylvania. and con
strict a through line from the West to
New York, is ,but a part of the grand
• scheme that originated the Great T,rnnk
- Hue, and would be the consummation of the.
same. It would beitefit a few localities,
becauseitwouldhasten their development
* -- before their local interests would warrant
it ; but it would be the; work of death to.
- Pennsylvania commerce, and would in
time be fearfully destructive to the great
industrial inet.'irests of the North.
Phila
delphia'and Pittsburg are the great Man
ufacturing centres of this cottutt, and
this enterprise would strikeat the vitals
of both. It would not only isolate them,
but it must cripple them far beeond any
--... present calculation. Philadelphia has in
vested some fourteen millions of dollats
_ in the Pennsylvania afid-Philidelphia and
- *Erie Railroad,;. These iiil estments nett
made not with the view of direct profits

of bringing to our great commercial anti
manufacutring centres a fair share of the

The contest tor the Union mumble tion will cm',

the time for the rniten Convention at its late
meeting in Philadelphia; but resoled to meet
attain Harrisburg some time in January. and
fix the tine., and place for the Convention. It is
probable that it'V ill be held here some time ii
May—certainly not until after the adjoin lIIIICnt
of-,the - legi , rlaturer. lint in the meantime dries
point will be th'e centre of political operations, and
every ellort at concentration of Frijol] sentiment
on any one of the S.everal candidates, i. ill be made
here. The WeAtern membeis will endeavor to
strengthen lien. Moorhead; the Northern mem
ber will urge Ketchum; the Souther:ti niernberf
will urge Cessna or Jordan, and the interior and
eastern counties will be divided or coneentrated
as political events may shape themselves. Thf,
will the coming legislature be involved - in poll
' tics during the entire session, and th.l 1111pOrtanee
of the political movements to be made will make
the winter here one of unusual life and/interest.
In adihtpo. to politics. it is preXtrele that we sr ill -
have a Railroad.conte.st of iiii, , xataph,l magni
tude between Pennsylvania interests and the En
glish interests represented in the Atlantic and
Great Western Company. Thy EilgliFth capital
isfi-havc conceived the grand liter of spanning
the Northern States, on the plea of local develop
ments, but really with the view of controlling the
commerce and crippling the industry of this
country. Its proposed benefits to certain local
lets in the State will give it strength in the legis
lature. and its great power will make it a form
idable competitor in a legislative struggle. The
contest will be a mighty 011 e, and the detat
crushing in all probability, as the victor will' not
omit to renew the contest again. I have but lit
tle d'ubt as tothe issue. Pennsylvania will not
sticnfice Pennsyhania interests to give strength
to a foreign and unfriendly corporation. Phila
delphia has some eleven millions in the , Pennsyl
vania Railroad; and its tributaries extend into
half the counties of the State. In addition iu
this the counties south of the Susquehanna on the
border have every interest in sustaining the Penn
sylvania Road, becau . se their prospecth e improve
ments are dependant upon, it 11,r suecess. Such
is the positive interest iii our own improvements,
