HM.K OV TIIK IH15LIC WOBSS,
ly a law passed nt the lust session of tho le
gislature, the IVnrful responsibility of deciding
the lite nf the Public Works rests with the
people nt the cnsiiinrr election. This is n very
itnportatit consideration l'ir the tax-payers of
Ponnsylvania ; for by the proper management
of those in favor of disposing of them, and the :
nPri;:,M,cn um cirelef sness ofthose onpsed to !

,imi "f 1 -ri-!toro to have the Public
Works sold, when tit the same time they ilicrr n-
m thetate thx ; but on tho contrary, it evi-
. . -
dentiy was tne iuientin at least of a portion ot
the iiieinoers to connect these bills, and by Hint '
means induce those who were seriously in f,i-
vor f iho Public Works to vole for the tax bill.
i If they r.'till desired to have the works sold, I
cannot ur,iiert.iii.l why it was that they iucren- :
sid the Slate tux, which, instead ol decreasing, '
would increase the value of State btoc k, nnd by
t:,ia ineims ii,ntei iiiliv retard tho sale of the
j works. As the works w hen fold will beroqni-
1,11 lo ue P'"' '"r 111 'ocK, It would eectn hut
'oituiion sense lo suppose that the lower the
.;,. ,,f ,P ,t,,ek i! ,r r...li.Ul..-.i!,l
a-
fer t for with one vote they tacitly approve n
measure nnd ut the same time remove tho means
by which such minimou can be accomplished.
Iluii the stock been down to forty dollars per
shore as it was during hist full, and as it would
have been th. had the tax bill not have passed,
there is no doubt the holders of such stock would
have c'adly taken i.u intetesl in tho sale of the1
'"on line and tne Sr He eielit been reduced
tu-fittij iiilltonx, while the purchaser would
have paid not ipiil.: leu miliioiix ot ilolliirs for
twenty millions of prop. rty. Hero would in
deed have been nn investment worth having.
Hut tiiat day has pone by. The increase ot
Stale lax has ra iseil llie Slate stock tinforty
to s n uhj-Jlt e dvllurs, nnd Ihe holders, like all
prudent men, would prefer the honor of the oix,d
old Llommuiiwt ultli of Pennsylvania, with a rea
sonable prospect of the slock rising to par, limn
invest their hni ds of (at lie.-t) a ilouhu'vl con

i svpiciitly not so bubject tu being damaged by
I suuoen rioiugsoi tiie water as lormeriy ; the in-
crease of business, aided by experience, has
pointed out many way for economizing, which
will continue, and from time to time be added
to, and make a very important increase in
the amount of the tolls received into the State
Treasury. Thisopinion is. strengthened hy the
j very lavoranie reports irom me u Herein oiicc-
, tors fur this year. I consider the mum hue of
' ''iipruvcmiTiis worth an hundred per cent, mere
than they were hie years ago, and are tveiv
year becoming more and mors valuable.
If'n proper course i pursued hy our Lr-irisln- t
lure i.inl Luiinl I oiniiiisHonprs, the Stntc tux ran
hero reduced that in titiuther year the income j
from the main line will nearly if not wholly
pny the interest on the State debt. There in,
however, profit danger to he feared that incase
a majority of votes should bo found in fa vor of I
selling the vnri, that a company would induce j
the T.eeislat tire to past" them into their Irinilu
without limit, or nt a small udvunce ; nnd thus
,
lue public Inr whoso use the works were, con-
stmcted would not receive nny immediate or
Iln.i1 benefit. Under nil these circumstance, I
, , , , , ,
tlmik it would be better to vote against their
rale at the ensuing election, nnd endeavor to
lav before the 1 ,e:ri.-.!at urt: some plan by which

To do this, and to contend successfully with
Xew York, we mut carry goods ns cheap as'
they do
-
How is this to be done !
U. ,, i

S(,P. Every ton of gool orried from Philadcl-
,,j to Pittshnrrr, cost tho owner On nn average
rirhleen ilnllnmuf which the State receives-
MV nr ,u,Ilnrf. Thin immense charge is sul'
ficient to keepall eoods (II our imiirovemeiit

,;. winter, nnd s.rnetiuies la to in the s-rin
until the lakes nre completely clear of ice, er
drive them an iii'd by si a to ,ew Orb-ans, and
thct.co up the Mississippi. We con.-cipientiy
lose, by reason of our exorbitant ciotroes, nt
least two tons of rjoods out of every three Mie
same proportion in passengers' nnd very nearly
n!i the' rmi-jrants. Now suppose we carry i'oods
rt twelve dollar a ton, ud the State receives
six dollars of that sum, (w hich the increase of
bti- iness will readily wnrrant us in doinir, we
will mo.-t assuredly trn.-port three times ns
many goods as we no'.v cn. ry over our public
works, and the State receive eighteen dollars,
where she, under present existing nrrango
tnents, receiesbut nine. This would at all e
ven's be ilotihlinjj tho income duo the State
r.,in her puhlii: works. Not only this, hut hy
Ihos lowering our to:ls one third, we would
drain nil the produce from the Ohio valley up
to Piitcdmrg to fed tin lyi!or:i market, tt.nt
nre now prr ven'ed I'rotu nsina our improve
ments, for the reason already Mated.
So much in la vor of the Mam Line for carry-
ino freioht.
Now, in rehition to pa.-sengers,
wi are still mere favored. The State nt pre
sent, out of the ten dollars, fire charged from
Philadelphia to lit trbtiry. receives nbou'. five
dollars. L", therefore, she w re to carry them
herse'if, and c'nare in full but six dollars, there
cannot he the least doubt but that in a very short
t,,,,,. We wrmld curry three pmssengcri where
we now carry o:.e, nnd instead ol'reve.v ing live
dollars, as we now do, wo would receive
eieli.een dollnrr. Tuts would make a very
handsome dihVrence in tlie ciarterly returns
of the toll collectors which, I Inw not tin;
slightest doubt, could focn he so much increas

mmiaotiieut , ns to tii'iko u very rcr pectah'.e

Hut there is another souk;.- of revenue that
could be made to arise from our public works,
winch has heretofore boon ulmo.-t cut .rely over

' they can get there in at lcaslhalf the time thev
can possibly reach Pttroit by tho New York
. line, wiiunui ruiiniiig any risk or iiang. r w nat-

, in our favor, (for it would eventually be a poiiicp
I of much revenue,) let the State provide tars
i and rannl b'Ms, rnd in i ly th in, r,.t I be lore
said, for two dollars, nod in pi ice of ten emi- !
grants now carried r v.r our work", we won
carry one hundred, and consequently, instead j
of receiving tho forty dollars which the State!
now receives, she would receive two hun'h e l :

It is very comtnon for Mormon;", in working
miracles, to prnctico in (he following manner :
"One goes out alone in the pari) and witli
l'10 nppenrancc of a poor traveller ; Calls at the
moment the second traveller enters annout s
it it) his power to raise tho dead to life.
A couple ofthose impostors went out on nn
excursion ot this kind about two years or more
since, and in tho course of their travels cailfd
nt a farm house near Genesee. The forrunner
called on the plain looking farmer and rcpre-
; omo, but no less intclliprent Christian, or
I shrewder than tnos-t men. The traveller jom-
' ed with thefsmi'v in their devotions, and talked
of God and heaven ns a Christian. Xo ono
; suspected his hypocrisy.
j About 1 o'clock in the morning tho family
j were av.'akoncd by grunns proceeding from thi
j lodging room of the stranger. The farmer
j wrt into tho room and was quite shocked tu
find his guest apparently in the most intense;
degree of pain. Many remedies were applied,
hut of no eflect ; the suftcrcr grew worse every
hour, until about 7 o'clock he appeared to shour
signs of death. Just at that moment a k node
was heard at the door, and another stronger
entered on its being opened.
Tho family were much frightened, and con-
ed upon them of a blasphemous characttr, an 1
he quickly resolved to test tho same. "Hold,"
said l.o, "a moment, end do not the miracla
until I return." Ho went out, took an ix j
from tho wood pile, and came in, without say.
ing a word walked up to the bed side and Re
dressed the man ol miracles as follows.
"You think him really dead !"
"O, yes."
"Well, then, I will just cut of his head, n
mike it sure, for if you can ra sc him to his
from death at nil, you can do it as well w ith hn
head ofl'ns on !" and suiting tho action to th.s
word, raised the ao as if he would strike, when
lo 1 w ith a lend shriek, up jumped the dead
man, crying "murder! murder !"' at the top of
his voice.
