Part at the documentary history of the railroad
troubles in Erie county is found in a letter . ad
iiressed to the Governor of this State by the Pre*.
ident of the Erie and North. East Railroad. It
recites the facts pretty much as they have already
been given, and represents i¢ animated language
the determined resistance of 'the Erie people' to
the operations of the New Vick monopolists. It
is this popular resistance that ire regard as,the
most positive proof of the moralright of the citi
zens in the stand they have taken. if If the oppo
sition was merely that of u faction, or if there
was...even a minority of the people on • the New
York side of , the question;theile Might be some
..reason for the doings at Erie being stigmatized
as those of a mob. Bei this is not the case.
From the Showing • of the President of the lirle
an d North &tat Railroad himself the whole peo
ple of Erie county are united and determined to
resist the injuries attempted by the New Yorkirs. -
,d genpetasz lately from Erie confirms this view
of the Matter, and informs
that
be him never seen
greater unanimity than that displayed by the pee.
ple of Erie in defence of their invaded rights.
When the public thiz4. without a dissenting
voice taken position upon a 'great local question
it isprimis fae7a evidence that they are right.
The existence of any i opposite lee enacted at a
distant by a body uninfoen t .,l of f ac t s , an d to _
turiously rurruptable and corrupted, is no evi
dence to the contrary. The people in this coun
try never sustain a wrlig with tinsisinsit). There
is always a rispeemble =mini at Lomat, to sup

This being the ease, they are no mob, sad their
acts are sot riotous. They see that they are
wronged; the State laws gives theta ap poke.

local law they are obliged to use means aa'ury
at available and most efficacious. Thus far
they have been successful. The schemes of the
New Yorkers have been defeated, even though
firearms were fatally used to accomplish them.
It only remains for the State to extend the pro
tection so justly due to its Erie citizens, by the
enactment of *law suited to the ease. •
In the absence of a law of the kind, the peo- I
,plc of Erie ate unjustly censured. No people in
'the world have a higher reepect for the, laws than
Americans. and we believe that the' rie people
fall behind no °there iu this respect. But when
a law is so Outrageously ithutiee of their rights,
so notoriously a fraud, as this is under which the
New Yorkers pretend to act, what people in the
world could respect it? We do not say that vio
lent resistance 'to it i 4 right; for we would 'MCC
every law literally obeyed until it i, repe - aled.—
Bur \Then a whole people feeis itself 'outraged
and injured by it, its enforcement becomes t
practicable. The law remain, a deed letter. :tad
'in the failure of this single law to command re
spect and obedience, the whole system Of laws ib
injured; •for if one statote becomes etairepatabie
and a nullity, the whefe axle necessarily briar
in dignity. The people, unprotected by the sm.]
prone State law; are driven for eafety to thp pet
ty laws of local corporations, and cOuntice and
boroughs thus earn the .respecs due to the com
monwealth. whoSe dignity is thus ditninished.

have been employed at Erie. But the people 'of

nounoed the people as a mob, and declared the

deserving of implicit obedience? .llost certainly
they would not.

The Brie War.
We do not profess to be familiar with all the
particulars in relation to the origin of this unfor
tunate affair, bet learn from a, reliable source, I
that the Railroad company had taken possession
of the highways and streets in Erie and its vi
cinity, claiming a right, thus to appropriate pri
vate property,in which the public had an case
ment, to their own use, in violation of the rights
of the citizens and of the public.
If we are correct- in the premises, it can re
quite no argument to convince every rational
man of ordiam7 judgment that the citizens of
Erie are not only justified in standing in defence
of their rights, but would render themselves ob
noxious to the most severe censure should they
fail to do all in their power to prevent the coo;
summation of the attempted outrage.
The impression has gone abroad, that the
Erieans have no other cause for resiettimee, than
streh as grows out of the attempted change in the
width of the track. This is, however, too ab
surd—too ridiculous to be credited by thinking
men. It cannot be supposed that the Mayor
and the most intelligent, and respectable citizens
of that city would be engaged in carrying en this •
warfare, withoist supposing they had not only a
legal right, but a justifiable cause for eo doing.
We look upon this outbreak as the glimmering
of that dawn that shall usher in the day when
the rights of the eitizen will be protected against i
the inereaclunents of powerful monied corpora
tions when their influence shall cease to be pars

Ma. Enrrua.—That there is en alarming
state of things at the city of Erie, arising from
the violent spirit manifested by ;he cohtending,
parties, all will admit. And the question be
fore the public is, who comod the outbreak and
who is responsible fur the inconvenieuce to the
public resulting from it? The truth of the fol
lowing propositions will be consteded oy ever,
i candid man, to wit: That railroad companies art.

obligation to obey the laware -bound to enforce.
these rights by the law, as cities corporate or in:
itlividual citizens. , ,
This being so, let us look at the relative pos.
ition of the city of Erie sad the railroad comp,
ay as bodies corporate and the members of each
as men, befote and at the outbreak. The North:
,Es. 4. and Erie Railroad Company had built and
owned the road extending from New York State
- Iline to the city of Erie of a six foot gauge.—
/ The eittiens of Erie'clainted that the Company's
eharter had .been el:Rated in the location of the
I road and in the manner of constructing the track
i across the streets—that a nuisance hod been ere
&tett which they by the laws of the State were
empowered to abate summarily, and that a city
ordinance passed p ursuant to the City Charter
required the - High Constable to remove all oh.
structiotii frail the streets.
The citizens refrained from enforcing the Or
dinsuee, so long as the road remained a six foot
gauge—but, notified the Company .o tar bock as
lest July, that if sh attempt to change the gauge
to - 4 feet 10 inehe. was made by the company,
the ordinance would be eafnreed.• Under this
state of things the Railroad Company desisted
mail about the close of navigation, when they
.could count upon the clamor of forwarders in
their behalf, in case the °Wiens of Erie adore
ed the ordinance by which the travel and freight
would be delayed. At this time the Company
commenced altering the gauge—well knowing
that unless they succeeded in bullying the city
of Erie, a collision would be the result, and trav
el and freight delayed.
In view of the* facts, (for facts they are
'which cannot be gainsayetl,) who but the Rail
road Company brought on this collision? and
who but it is responsible' for the consequences?
The Railroad
.companies and their advocates
claim that it 'was and is only the public good and
convenience they hAtrin view—that the attempt
to change the gauge-at that time arosefrOm a tie.
sire to convenience the public, and that speedily;
a thing which they pretend they cannot du with
out a continuous gauge through the city of Erie.
This pretence is false and hypocritical, as the
following facts will show: The New York and
Eric. Railroad, is a six foot gauge, and the New
York Central Railroad is a 4 feet 8i inch gauge.
Tile Erie people desire the New York companies
to extend, their gauge to the city of Eric; and
there meet the Ohio gauge of 4 feet It) :uclics,
making but one break between the East anu
NVe,t. The New York coinpanies desire to con
tinue the Ohio gauge through Erie tit Buffalo;
making a-briadt_at Dunkirk and one at Buffalo.
So we see the the companies do not propose :a
wake tiny less breaks of gauge between the East
an 4 West than is and ever has been cutirell
within their power to make, without interferinz
with intents of Erie. What the companies are
contending for is the location of the break, which
they desire to be at Dunkirk and 13utfai.1 rather
than Erie. Hence it ht. plain that so far to, th(-
public is concerned their convenience requires
vile break at Erie and none at Buffalo ant [Nu
kirk, rather than one .at Buffalo and anothc: at
Dunkirk and none at Erie.
Nothwithstanding -the Railroad patriots are
lustily shouting pro bona perMitn, the tint argu
ment of all tyrants, a large portion 101 the press
oat of l'ennsylvania, have joined iu the
e itiseus of Erie hard WAIII,A and denouncing theta
in unmeasured terms; while hardly a paper out
of that State has dared to rebuke lice Railroad
Companies for their auilaeinu., attempts to ovti
avve and bully the citizens of Erie.
The press of Ch.velend, prolcv-inz
for Wc6tern interests, has ..riaelv'ored lo ii,rsu a tie
the Western people that a break of gauge at
Erk is highly detrimental to their interests,
when. the contrary is the fact,—for with the
break at Ern and the Sunbury and. Erie Rail
road constructed, the Western people have the
of two markets and competing roads •East
from Erie.
The course of the press in this affair is-its moat
alarming feature. It shows a willingness on the

The Lake Trade—The Ballot—The Interests
of Baltimore
With that provincialism which :seems to char
acterise most people out of New York, the pee- '
ple of Baltimore have joined in the nue and cry
against the people of Erie. Who raised the hue
and cry? The New York papers. Why?, Sim
ply because the people of Erie have been for ma
ny years the great stumbling block to that grasp- ,
ing commercial ambition which would hionopte i
line the trade of the lakes. Therefore, New York i
is in a blaze, and her press is engaged in aiding
to suppress the principle for which the pt7ople of
Erie contended. New York Wants to make a ,
"way station" out of Erie, and Erie resists. Sup- I
'Tree, fee illustration, that New bore is success
ful?—whet then? Let our readers take down their
mape(.l. trace with us the remits of what is
termed "riot."
il
The e trade lute built up New York. For
manyyears the :•enterpriaing people of the Em
pire eiii , ,have been aware that they must possess
an mat-4m and ()pull n uone line of railroad around
the lakes. This is daily becoming a groat ne- 1
Cessity to New York, because, sometimes six
months in the year the navigatiim of the lakes at
the only point where New York now touches
them, is obstructed by we, or interrupted by storms. 1
Buffalo is the lake terminus of the great -inter:
nal improvement of Now Yerlt. Baltimore and
Philadelphiaare nearer the lakes than New York,
and at a point always open and posseveing a mag
nificent harbor. Philsdelphiaand Baltimore are
both pushing towards this point. New Yolk, to
cut them off, has oontemplated an uebroken,ehein
iyf railroads, connecting her with- the Wen. ill
such a manner as to defeat Ler , rivals. Hereto.
fee the town of Erie has stood out against this
Nlc Yoek infiuence. She has fought the New
I rkers in the Pennsylvania Legislature, and ie
now fighting them on tier own soil. Erie wishes.
to be to Philadelphia and Baltimore what Buffs-
Llo is to New York. The whole issue is upon the
I pEtwer to Jerre the citizens of Erie to consent to
this unbroken railroad connection, which will
ruin the prospects of Erie for ever—concentrate
beyond change the entire trade of the lakes• in
New York; and render nugatory all the efforts of
ePhilidelpltia and Baltimore to share the trade.
We would like to see Erie occupy the position to
us that Buffalo does to New York.. Webope the
citizens of Erie will resist, by all -constitutional
mean?, every effort of New York to co mplete thi s
unbroken railroad chain. Although public ogin
ion is now against the ....itizens of Erie, there Will
be a change when the fate are known. The peo.
ple of Erie are contending for ,their rights, apd
we hope they will succeed.— Baltimore Tinies.•

cursed in by all with whom we hay vereed—
and,; let us add, our Interchany of ; sentinneat has
not keen confined to AL Governor's political
friends; on the contrary, MP political opponenis
mein to feel that he ii right upon lest of the sub
jects treated, and are willing to let: thosefeelings
be known. Perhaps this sentiment is rendered
more manifest because of the noble and truly
Pennsylvania stand taken by the Message in re
gard to our railroad interests. The people fell
that in the position there assumed the Executive
is right—that if ill fails them,—that if justice
is denied to them and to Pennsylvania in the
and House, that if the members prote ro
tto their dutyte f trust,
to the demands d Ohio,
the 'et; the Government will be
stretched forth to 'put the "cup," prepared by
the enemies ofglorious old Commonwealth,
"from them." -
In this they are
s oirke
correct. The Gov
ernor has placid the tween us and the
railroad monopolies of OhiollVew Yorkupon
the true ground. It is a questionepf State poli
cy he thinks, and as such it is divested of its lo
deal bearings. And a question of State policy it
truly is, and has long been considered so by .'
more wide-awake neighbors in New York. Th
years ago, before a committee in the New York
Legislature, those who are now striving to ham
booele Pennsylvania oat of this, portion of her
birth-right, boldly placed the issue upon the
[ pound of "State policy." They told the Legis
lature of New York that rather than extend their
roads to Erie, and thus make her the terminate of
the rends from the But, "New York had better
I tarry passengers from the East- and the West
mums the territory of -Pennsylvania in Sedan
chairs." Wm it the "pop own" and "candy"
trade these far-seeing New Yorkers were afar, 1
or did they use in their mind's eye the immense
benefits to lie derived' by fixing the transhipping
point upon their roil? Was it the "drippings of
trade" incident to a mere change of ears, or did
these shrewd men see that with a continuous
pugs past the terminus of the Pennsylvania
roadie, thus emptying the products of the mighty
West upon their soil, and making Buffalo and
Dunkirk the store-houses of that great West, they
effectually eat off all competition, aid at the same
time built up two twin cities upon their soil, in
lien of one in Pennsylmnial" That wee doubt
-I.s the view they took of the question then, and
it was a correct one. Give Erie the benefit of
the terminus of the New Yokk roads, and the
Ohio roads, together with t h eml. from her own
State, and in tan years she will outstrip Cleve
land, and range herself not far behind Buffalo in
business and population. Then is it not a ques
tion of "State. policy," and an important one too?
With the Governor, we would interpose no bu
rins to trade and commerce between the States,
but if barriers exist--exist, too, by no act of ours
—we would be the moat consummate dolts that
ever existed if we did not tarn them to our ad
vantage. Pennsylvania had no hand in making
the roads of New York different in width of track
from those of Ohio; no oruch sin is laid at her
door; she nude her own roads to correspond with
those But and North of her; and now. would she
be trio to herself and the interests of her own
corporations if she would allow edifferent gauge
from her own, in roadsoontrolled by her enemies,
to run mimes her ingstoverMents and terminate
layered the reach of competition, upon the soil of
a rival State, and at thM end of that rival's im
provements. We think the question requires no
answer; it it So plain that ho runs may read.
And yet, because Erie haaiWed to advocate this
policy—because the Governor has, as the Chief
Magistrate of the State, responsible for her wel
fare; and the guardian of her rights, seen fit to
assert that he "has been unable to discover any
reasons, founded in m plolic policy; why the break
should.be fi xed at , that do not apply with
equal force. in favor of Erie," he is denounced by
theme pensioned presses, and a elimor raised against
him and our Commonwealth by our jealous rivals.
This fact alone proves the truth of the remark
that "it may be that neighboring States, possess
ing similar advantages, would give them away
for our benefit, but he,
,the Governor, has not
been able to discover MI fact In, their former
Polley to justify each le conclusion." There ne
ver was a truer rommimade than this, and never
an instance in which it has been more complete
ly verified than in this whole transaction. Leek
at it. New York utterly refuses to permit her
railroida to connect with roads in Pennsylvania
upon the same - width of track of the roads of el- .
they Statue, no, rather than do this, she exclaims,
our "State policy" would be base/Wed if we had
to carry passengers across Pennsylvania for the
neat ten years in Sedan chain. Rather than al
low either the Albany or the. New York and Erie
gauge, to reach the city of Erie, we will sink the
satire capital stock of the Buffalo and State Liee
road in corrupting the Legislature and the ave
nues of 'ludic.. .We will hunt dove every man
that dares oppose us, from the Governor down;
and we will establish our "State policy" it, in
doing so, we are compelled to carry it over the
bones of every citizen of the county of Erie.—
This is the Linguae of the raised men of Neie
York we daily he4r, and it is . from snob Mar
cos Wm. Moms is denounced, and a Cry
raised, of a want Of liberality on the part, of Penn
sylvania. Verily it comes with it good grace
from such a quarter. •

At a large meeting of the citiaerus of this
county, held at the Court House on Monday af
ternoon, the following propindtion was (unsoli
cited) submitted by Mr. Metcalf:
That the Railroad Company be 4wad to lay
down 4 foot 10 inch track to PiencOitreet,—that
nothing be dose towards erecting bridges across
French and State streets until after the next elec
tion of Board of Directors, and then not till after
15 days notice. Signed P. METCALF,
Chi the part of the li:ord of Directors.
This, ticolleet,' was submitted after the Mar
shal had commenced laying the track; and it was
i t anim oua l ) accepted. - On Thursday the
Railroad aims demonstrated just how mueh hon
or there was in them by backing out of it. Com
ment is unnecessary.,
sir We give a number of articles from pa
. pen in different sections of the country, relative
to our railroad difficulties, in our
. paper today.
One of the best in tone and spirit; in argument

placed in the hands of our eomposbor, but it has

to procure the repeal of the Gange Law," we
must be,allowol to say it looks strange! Indied,
a goitd !Illustration to th 4 Union's position is the
story of an extremely honest tax officer. The
story runs thus: Once upon a time, when the
.importation of Spanish doubloon's intio.England
subjected the importer to heavy duty, this holi
est collector was going thinugh the ceremony of
examining a traveler who had just come ashore,
when, unexpectedly to the traveler,, his money
belt, which was• well stuffed, burst; awl out
rolled
_a bright doubloon upon the floor. The
collictor immediately picked it up, clapped it
upon one eye, and jediegly remarked if ho had
one just( like it upon the other he coold'nt see a
bit. The traveler took the hint, put the coin
upcni the- other eye, and 'departed in peace. Of
course we dmetwish to insinuate that the Cnion
has s ot a •dmibineen on MO fly*. ;t
any thing right on the Erie side of this contro
versy, *mow wants another %Nolte other eye,
so it cant see any 'thing wrong on the Railroad
iside—still, we must insist, it looks strange!
Our friend of the Jatnestown De mocra t
appears considerably nettled because Philadelphia
has subseribed two millions to the Sunbury and
Eric road., It says, that the "warmest friends
of that egad have last - all confidence, and those
who were most hearty in their co-operation are
now seeking commitnication with the world by
roads running in other directions." The Editor
is also of opinion that "looking in the most fa
vorable light, the idea that it can oven compete
sucnessfully with the New York and Erie IR pre
posterous." Certainly we are willing our cotem
parary should enjoy this opinion, and atop the
road if be can, but at the same time let its beg
