The Legislature
The utmost harmony prevails among the
Democratic members,—both branches were
fully organized•ou the first day of the session,
and everything indicates that after the U. S.
Senator question is settled, we shall have a
business session. Monday the 14th inst.,
has been fixed upon, by, a joint resolution of
both branches and approved by the Governor,
as the time for electing a Senator. Who the
succssful gentleman will ,be it is riot now
possible for any man to say with any certain
ty. All agree that he will be a Dimocrat,
and one the
.party will have
,reason to be
proud of.

A Word to our Friends.
There are at least sixteen hundred Demo
cratic voters - left in Huntingdoncounty—six
teen hundred men - as true as steel, but not
alwayifound at their proper places when the
hour of trial comes, and it is our opinion, let
others think as they.may, that twelve hun
dred of them, to say nothing about the other
four, 'should be receiving the Huntingdon
Globe every week! - It is the only Democra
tic paper published in the county—the only
organ the party has, and every Democrat who
is not a subscriber should send us his name
at once. We are expected to fight the battles
of the party, to stand by it through evil as
well as through good report, and to defend its
standard bearers from every attack of the op
position, and we cannot do it so successfully
if our paper does not circulate all over the
county. It brightens an editor's ideas won
derfully, and makes his pen run glibly, when
he knows that his paper is "the most general
ly read of any in the county," and feels a few
of those things in his pocket which will en
able him to meet his "paper man" without
fear and triMblingl We trust our friends
will give,this article more than a passing
notice, and send us "material aid" in the
shape of good subscribers. Each one can do
a little without much trouble, and when it is
all put together it will amount to a good deal.
We are almost upon the eve of a very impor
tant election, and at such a time no Demo
crat should be without a paper which advo
cates the men and measures of his party. It
is absolutely necessary that he should have
it, in order that he may be guarded against
the wiles and the schemes of false prophets
and false teachers. Every man -is able to
take a county paper if he would only think
so; and those who subscribe fora city "mam
moth" because it is a little "cheaper," do not
make as much as they irriagine; for generally,
all they get is stale news and abominable
trash. 'While they learn what has happened
in the world months before, they know noth
ing about what is going on in their own
county—in their own neighborhood. They
learn nothing concerning those matters in
which they are directly and personally inter
ested. They may save a few cents at the
time, but they will be the losers in the end.
Every man should take a paper published in
his own county, and especially should .every
Democrat in Hunttngdon -county take the
Globe! You may not see the connection, but
it is very plain to us, and we trust you will
labor a little to increase our subscription list,
and, by so doing, cheer and encourage us arid
do some service to the cause of Democracy !

Office Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
Philadelphia, Dec. 31st, 1855.
To the Editor of the _North Amelican:
An article- in .your paper of Saturday,, re
fering to the subjects that will attract the at
tention of the Legislature at its approaching
session, among other matters, alludes to the
effect of certain acts said to be those of this
Company, in a manner which seems to roto
quire some notice. It is therein stated "that
owing to the withdrawal of the transporta
tion Companies from the Main Line; its earn
ings this year will be 96,000 short of the ag
gregate of last year," and that "the policy of
the State will undoubtedly be to punish any
improper'interferenee with the business of
the public works.'' If the acts of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company referred to, have
improperly intetfeted with the rever.ues of
the State, its Board of Directors will not ob
ject to the infliction of due punishment for
their proceedings. To enable the Public to
form a correct judgment in- relation to this
subject, however, I will submit a few facts
bearing upon it, and leave them to draw
their own conclusions. These are substan
tially as follows:
Firstly. The purchase of the cars of the
transporters—the act evidently refered to—
was not made,untii after long and repeated
importunities from them, with the positive
assurance that they would withdraw their
stock from the• Main Line, unless a reduction,
of tolls•was conceeded to them, that it was
not the interest Of the State to adopt. The
question was not even entertained by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company until after
several consultations between the parties in
terested, and members of the Board of Canal
Commissioners, who individually expresSed
themselves favorably as to its effects upon
the revenues of the State.
Secondly. The decrease in the receipts of
the Main Line, alluded to in-your article, in
stead of following, preceded the withdrawal
of the transporters from it.
Thirdly. The revenues of the State from,
the transportation of produce, Eke, between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, since the with
(Trowel of the . transporters from the Main
line, have greatly exceeded those for a cor-
responding period of last year.
Fourthly' The transporters had determin
ed to withdraw their stock from the Canal,
previous to the sale of their cars to the Com
pany, for the reason that the business was
not, and Could not be made proffttable, unless
the Canal Commissioners would reduce their
tolls greatly below the amount the State re
ceived from the sametonnage, passing over
the Colombia and Pennsylvania Railroads.
Fifthly. For the purpose of continuing
their connection with the State works ; trans
porters submitted to the Canal Commission
ers a reduced schedule of tolls, which the
Board declined to adopt. This determined
them to withdraiv.
Sixthly.' TO' prevent the business which
had heretofore passed over the State works,
from seeking other channels between the
East and the West ; the Penrisylvania Rail
road Company purchased the cars of the
transporters, arid made an arrangement with
a portion of them, by which that object was
secured.
The Pittston Coal Company purchased the
most of their boats, and transferred them to
the Susquehanna division of the Pennsylva
nia Canal, where they have increased and
will continue to increase the business of that
portion of the public works, and consequently
the revenues of the State.-
Seven thly. The withdrawal.of the through
lzyuaities-from - to Line, weft of Colum
bia, had the effect to greatly reduce the work
ing expenses of-the Portage Railroad, thus re;
(lacing also the drafts upon the public treasu
ry. The arrangement with the transporters
has in fact, benefitted the State, directly and
indirectly, to a greater extent than the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. • -
Eightly. The reasons that induced the
transporters to withdraw from the contest
with the railroads between' the East and
West, for transportatiOn of freights, will be
appreciated by the public when they reflect
upon the probable results of a competition
between the Reading Railroad and the Schuyl
kill Navigation—if there existed upon the lat
ter improvement, a transhipment to railroad
cars at Reading, with railroad transportation'
thence, say to Pottstown, then by boats to the
Falls of Schuylkill, and a retranshipment to
cars to reach the Delaware.
The rates of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company must be arranged to meet the com
petition of other routes north and south,
without reference' to those of the main line,
for the purpose of retaining the trade within
our own State.
A careful consideration of the above facts
will enable the public to judge Whether the
Pennsylvania Railroad Corripany has improp
erly interfered with the revenues of the State,
or whether the mainline—no matter how al
tered—can be relied upon by Pennsylvania
to compete for the trade of the West with the I
active rivals and superior improvements on
the north, and on the south of her.
It is quite time that the State authorities
should look at this question in a practical
light. If the offer of this company, under
date of April 3d, 1852, had. been accepted by
the State, she would by this time have saved
fully two and a half millions of dollars, ex
pended in the construction of the new road
and in working the old one across the Alle
gheny mountains. The State has since adhp
ted and now use about eight miles of the
Pennsylvania Road as a part of her main line,
and could in the same manner have used
their whole road over the mountain.
There has been no wish nor intention up
on the. part of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to depreciate the value of the Main
Line, in any communication of the Board of
the Stockholders in relation to it, or other
wise. Facts and arguments drawn from pub
lic documents, equally accessible to all, have
only been presented, from which no other
conclusion than those arrived at could be
drawn.
The sale of the Main Line to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company having been objec
ted to by some, I will here state that the
Board of Directors of the Company have no
desire to encumber themselves - with the man
agement of any portion of it west of Colum
bia. But as about one half of _ the stock of
the company is held by Allegheny county
and Philadelphia, it would be difficult to find
a purchaser that could give the same guaran
tees that the work would be managed with
a view to promote the public welfare, the
object for .which the Commonwealth origi
nally - constructed the work. Very re
spectfully yours,
J. EDGAR TECOMSON, President.
