Joshua Hartshorno. a sterling denioer.it from

I also a man of goo ! sense and excellent moiiil

ia man of sound srnsn nnd excellent moral cha-

I lastly, we must not forget Thomas Sti ine, our

Tin- Sale of llir Main Line of our TiiMir Works.
Wo refer our readers to an able article on our
filst page, on the subject of tin! sale of the Main
Line of our Public Works. We hope every one
will read it. nml if any have heretofore had any
doubts, we think they will see the impolicy of
such a measure. A canal, it is well known, be
comes more and more permanent and less liable
to get out of repair, as it becomes older In this
respect it is just the reveise of a Rdilioad.
Resides, if we could sell the Main Line, it would
not pay one hall of the public debt, ami as it
pays the interest ol agieat portion of one half !
already, there would lie but littU present gain.
while, by the sale, we would deprive ourselves
of the prospect of a p i mni.etit fund that must, i
at a future day, lie sufficient to pay otl'lhe whole ,
debt and ield a handsome revenue for other
purposes. We cannot believe that the people j
aie so blind as to give up ail inheritance so use
fill and valuable to the State and to themselves.
These woiks, if sold, aie to go in the hands of a ;
company of f-tock holders with eel tain privileges !
This company, with its swarms of collet tors, j
