The Lake Shore Road—the Seltia'sat
r.„. tM philsdrioia FMVIa.
The readers of the N. icf hive already been in
formed by the reporta of priticeedinga in the Le
gislature. published in but columns, that the
vexed question involved in the construction of
the Railroad a lo ng the 'Lake Shore, has been
Mott happily - tt&d The settlement of the
whole matter is embraced in the bill, which we
published in the New several days since, and
which after having rased the Senate by a very
decided vote, was with a slight modification, op.
prourd of by the House, by a vole of over rico
thirds of cite entire body. The bill is now in the
hands of the Governor, and ere the publication
of this article, will very probably have received
his signature. and become a law of the Common
wealth
The adjustment of this question is most forts
*ate, insomuch as it) pats to rest not only the
contested and much coveted right to occupy the
ground' from Erie to the Ohio State line for rail
road purposes, but it will put to rest forever, we
hope, the heated contests and excited conflicts of
interests, both public and personal, which 'have
unfortunately, for several years past, agitated,
and at times with great and fearful violence, our
bretheren of the;State, on the Lake Shore, aa
well as those who are our neighbors on either
aide
That thers,were many and intricate questions
involved in the adjustment and settlement of
this question will not be denied; and it is there
fore b) , po meson surprising that during the dis
cussions which arose on the various propositions
for its settlement, there should have been much
diversity of opinion and contariety of views,
both in regard to eziltiug rights; whether legal
or equitable, as well as to the measure of cape
thenoy, which it was proposed to adopt for a final
saulement of the whole matter
It is not surprising that during the discus
mons had upon the eoverel bilk which were re
cently before the Senate for the purpme of dis
posing of this question, there should be not only
great diversity of opinion, but that there should,
at , times, havc been .::pparest inoonsistencies CC
the part of Mcmbers'representing sections of the
State, dime^ti r indirectly interested in the
premises.
To - familiar with the subject the cane
of - these apparent errors of position, is of easy
comprehension, and it is 'therefore a subject of
, v.ocere congratulation it-it a ompromise /if is-

It is also a matter gratulation to the friends
of Philadelphia and htr interests that the bill in
question combined in ita favor the support of al
most
•hd entire delegation from the city and
county in'both Houses of the Legislature. In the
Senate the exception was the newly elected Sen

would not permit him to part with, (so far as he
was concerned) on any term, a work in posses

The Bostonians have subscribed to the stock to

A Railroad War in Buffalo
From the way the Buffalo papers, one and all,
denounced the city Councils of Erie for passing
ordinances for the removal of railroad tracks off
the stmets, a person would naturally suppose that
such a proceeding wwi illegal, as well as unjust;
I and that Buffalo—lnnocent Buffalo—'-would ne
ver do such an act But look at the sequel. On
the let day of this month, Al& Bemis, of the
city Councils of Buff: 10, not having the fear of
the Express, the Courier, Republic, or Commer
idal, before his eyes, hid perhaps never having
I heard of Judge frwin's Court at Pittsburgh,
moved—
"That the City Attorney be .hereby directed to
prosecute the Buffalo - and State Line Railroad
Company, for crossing and obstructing Michigan
street, between Exchange 3treet and the Canal,
and that heeuzloy some suitable person to re- ,
port to his and racy violation of the fray
Charter and (Atomics&
Aid. Bemis advocated the passage of itis reso
lution, because the State Line Railro4 had no
right to cross Michigan Emmet. and its doing so
is a rest nuisance. The Central road had a le
gal right to cross that street which the other has
not, and he thmtit the duty of the Council to
force the State• Line road
,back, and then be
thought the Central would follow it.
AM. Ramsey, thought this resolution alctda
• ted to interfere with the interests of Buffalo and
; its passage business, by outlawing:lg the lines
of oomoonniestion, and forcing travel through
other channels.
The President of the Council advocated the
revolution denouncing Railroads, their prat:fiat's,
i the use of free tickets among the legislators, &c.
He spoke with much warmth of the treatment he
received from the Vice Pros dent of the Central
Road, who, when admonished of dwincembraa
me placed Von Michigrn mamas b oy eh. Cawing
I road, said to him (Aid. H.) that, he - did not owe
a d--a. They had rights and the law guaran
teed their rights and they should take advantage
of them.
After some further discussion thc resolution
was adopted." •
Now, will the Buffalo papers please tell us in
what consists the difference between the action
of the city Councils of Brie last winter, when
they order the proper (Amer to remove esilroed
nuisances from the streets, and that taken by the
city Councils of Buffalo, as indicated above. The
one declared that the railroad "obstructed" the
streets, and removed it; tot other declares that
it does, and directs a prosecution to be commen
ced! The Buffalo papers denounced the one—
called our Councils "rioters"—invoked the aid
of the Federal government to put them down;
bat lo! when their city Fathers do the very same
thing in effect, they are silent! Verily, by their
works ye shall know them!
A Qv= TEMPERANCE. PAATY.—We see that
Judge CoNaan, the Whig and Native candidate
for Mayor of Miladelphiii, has also received the
nomination of the Maine Law men. We pre
sume this donor must be conferred upon him in
consequence of the vory temperate character of
some of his friends, as eiwidated by the follow
ing incident. When it became known that the
Judge had secured the nomination, a party of his
friends, after getting gloriously drunk, proceeded
to a hotel in Broad-street, where it was proposed
that they should burn their hatq over the happy
event This was agreed to, and "six tiles" were
ymt in the Santee. Then follower' coats, which
were hitewise destroyed in a similar manner.—
Tbis t erven did not satisfy the bechaitaliana, and
s proposition was made to strip off pantaloons,
which was complied with by two of the party.—
Of comes after that, as a man is known by his
fries*, Ike temperance ado were satisfied—
hence his nomination!
Our friend of the Crawford Lkesocrat
wont be satisfied any way The Legislature last
winter repealed the charter of the Franklin Ca
nal Company, and the Democrat denounced the
act. The same Legislature_ now restores to the
original oweers of that work their fresbehises,'up
an certain conditions, and yet the Dr asekrat com
plains. We thought the first set d the Leo
latnre was right, and we do not like the last my
well, still it bent half as bad as it might be.—
The Democrat, however, is evidently is a "I do
not like you, Dr Fell" sort of a wood!
