MS. The Democracy of Warren county in
0011tSati00 assembled, on the 12th inst., put in
nomination the following ticket. For Repre•
sautssi Te , J. D James; Prothonotary, Thomas
Clemons; Sheriff, Geo. N. Palmer; Commission
er; J. Berry; District Attorney; Isaac Alden;
Auditor, W W. Hodge. The ticket seems to be
well received and will undoubtedly be elected
by a handsome majority.
Tim Leer STRUGOLE.—The whig party of
the State, or what little is left of it, seems to be
snaking a desperate effort to be .eeu and heard,
at least through the newspapers In several coun
ties, committees have called whig meetings, and
appointed whig delegates, and held whig donven
tines for the avowed purpose of nominating whig
alms, but upon close inspection it will be ob
served it is for an entire different purpose. In
this county too, where "Sam" swallowed the en
tire whig party with m few honorable excep
tions body and breeches, including its organ, the
Gazette, we see there is a call for a trhiy conven
tion. Now why is this' Do they intend no nom
nate a ticket and run it upon whig principles,
and depend upon that alone,,for its support? No,
they intend to do no such thing, but after passing
Jong strings of resolutions ii-elaring the exist
aloe, nay the power of the great whigparti, you
will see one at the last 'end declaring that the
Amerieaa or Know Nothing party is just the
thing, and that they arc willing if not anxious
to enroll themselves under that Danner Now,
while the last fact is not doubted by any one
possessing the least intelligence, the wonder is
that a new attempt should be made to drag the
poor old wkig party out of its grave where it has
been slumbering hr the past three years, for the
mere,-purpose of again witnessing its expiring
agonies. :There can i4e no other reason unless it
be to finally and publicly to paSs themselves over
so the American party This has been done in
every county, so far as we have noticed, where
whig meetings have b ;en called lately, and the
12th of September will witness the same result
in Erie county or we are much mistaken
stir Let the press an I the people Venango,
Mercer ' and Lawrence counties speak out as they
should do—let them stlittllU tue Governor in his

That is what we call decidedly cool impudence.

still is the constant effort of those who never
learned to mind their own business to rail at
Erie, to point out to her the proper course of con
duct, and to libel her upon every possible oppor
tunity Among those are the Crawford Demo
crat. If the Editor of that papor bad been as in
dustrious to do justice to Erie as he was to find
fault with her, he would know and publish to the
world that 'Erie has ta ,- ...ept,Ll through her coun

a Mereer county paper:

nal whys:
The citizens of Erie, have mime very far short
of Wining their portion of the contract. They
have not yet turned a sod toward the construction
of their portion of the work. The Directors of
this Company waited in patient* for some action
or the encouragement of rome hope of action on
the part of the Erians, but have thus far waited
in vain. Meantime, inhabitants of Crawford and
Maw commi es in Pennsylvania have projected
a road from the Ohio State Line through
_their
counties to connect with some road in New York.
That road is now making fair progress, and as
the Erie end New York City company mast find
a western connection, even though a different one
from their original design, they will in all prob.
atittity connect with the Crawford and Mercer
road.— Westfiela Transcript.
We notice the above for two or three reasons
First to caution the Traxxripe and lourotal ,
that in the future, when they have occasion to
speak of the "Western connection" of the "Erie
and New York City" road and its prospects, they
may blame "citizens" of their own State for the
"deep decline" that seems to have settled upon
the project. It is said that a certain Railroad
Dean, a resident of Buffalo, has his fingers on
the Road, and intends to keep it there as long as
money will procure tools or artifice dupes, to ad
vocate and perpetrate the arrogant and selfish pol
icy that has characterised the management of the
Lake Shore roads since their opening. And
when our Chautanque county neighbors speak of
"citizens of Erie coming very far abort of fulfill
ing their portion of the contract," they must be
a little more specific. They should inform their
readers, that the "western connection" of the
above road, was from the beginning in the hands
of those very men, "citizens of Erie" nominally,
but long since aliens in heart and purpose, with
whom the mass of the "citizens" of the city and
and county have been waging war for the lied
three years. These nominal citizens are Stock
holders and Directors in the Noad running emit.
from Erie to Buffalo, and are in the habit of re
sorting to Buffalo in every emergency for "or
ders." They, and their masters, the managers
of the Buffalo and State Line,and the New York
Central road, know that the "Little Valley road,"
as we call it, would advance the interests of the
New York and Erie road, and divide the hiAii
ness with the Buffalo and State Line road, at
least so much of it, as lies between Erie and Dun
kirk. It is generally understood in Erie, that
so long as the present Directorship and manage
ment of the road referred to in the above article,
is continued, its slumbers will in all human prob
ability be sound as the "sleeg of death." If the
management of the Road repining unaltered, we
are very much afraid that Liebriel'e horn will find
it prostrate and deaf. Corporations being repu
ted "soulless," it will not even then be permitted
to enjoy a consciousness of momentary existioce
We know that many innocent men who had in
vested in the road in Chautauqua county, in full
faith that it would be completed, according to con
tract or understanding, to the City and Harbor of
Erie,have been ruined and beggared by the broken
pledges of those who were managing the project
in Erie county, and most sincerely regret the fact,
but we must enter our protests against charging
such oonduct to the "citizens of Erie " The "cit
izens of Erie" are to-day anxious that the Road
should be built, and are willing to assist, no
doubt, to the utmost of prudence in its construe
tion, whenever they are satisfied that a bona fide
intention of constructing the work is entertained
at "head-quarters "
There is a little meat in the same nut for our
f Crawford county neighbors, particularly those
who are just now basing their supposed salvation
on theelection of Finney, end the building of
the late,-u/ Pittsburgh and Erie road. They ex
pect, as they boast, efficient aid from the votes
and other means of the railroad men of Erie
county With their help, they expect to sweep
the District and build a heavy section of a great
trunk railroad, which if built would be a direct
and eternal rival to the Lake Shore riot's We
' ask every wan in Crawford county, who has for
a moment imagined that the railroad men in Erie
county would assist them in their railroad schemes,
to read and pander the extract at the head of this
article. It ii full of meaning fir the present
case of Crawford. It is certain that if railroad
men in the Lase Shore road felt it to be their in
terest to choke a proposed connection with the
New York and Erie road extendingody to Erie,
they will be doubly active and determined in
choking every other project that looks to the ac
complishment of a similar purpose by a route be
yond their control. The Crawford project, in
addition to being distasteful to the railroad inter
ests cast of Erie, will be met likewise with the
hostility of the road running from Erie to Clove.
land. Just now, the Company owning the road
from Erie to the New York line are in trouble,
and they will promise almost anything for a
i chance of escape. If they could locate and man
age the Pittsburgh road, avoiding the harbor of
Eric, it may be that they would favor its con
atrueti,m But as to their aasaistiug in building
a road to compete powerfully, or at all, with the
road from Cleveland to Buffalo, its all moonshine,
au don the wane at that. Let Crawford remain-
ber the fable of the viper, that was warmed by
unsuspecting kindnese into deadly activity
Sale of the Public Works.
Tt seems to be pretty well settled that the pub
lic works are to be sold to a company out of the
State who have no interests in common with
Pennsylvania, but. on the contrary entirely op-
posed to the growth of oar old Commonwealth,
and her great commercial emporium, the city of
Philadelphia. We arc unable to see the advan
anvantage which the State is to reap from this
sale, and much less a sale to a company of New
York capitalists, more than likely those who
I control the great public improvements of that
State. With New York oontroling the grand
chain of public works through the centre of the
I State, sad, by the help of the chief magistrate,
retaining the only channel from east to writ on
the lakes, it is easy for ns to imagine that Penn
sylvania will stand but a small chance is the
race for the trade and commerce of the west. In
deed it is binding her bead and foot and laying ber
thus bound at the feet of her rivals to be run
over and crushed at their leisure. It would be
far better for the interests of the whole State if
the works were given to a company of her own
cities= than to sell them to a company out ef,
and hostile to her interests. Philadelphia has
felt somewhat the far-seeing and over-resabing

ilhalattirs. We fear sorperatienk—tear their
mighty influence upon the lawmaking power,—
fear their power to crash the weak, which .they
never fail to exercise whenever interest requires
it. We fear it the more because we are to-day
suffering the penalty of offending against one of
their number. For two years our little city boa
been struggling for an existence against the will
of one of these mammoth monied instittu.ions,
and yet we are being strangled, unaided by the
laws of the State, which are made to bend or break
at the will of a New York corporation. We have
fought valliantly and well—have proved ourselves
right before the Law-making and Law-deciding
tribunals of the State, and yet the foreign corpo.
rations which we are opposing, carry out their de
signs, and those whose duty it is to protect us, in
our rights, consent to the outrage. These things
teach us to fear foreign corporations and their in.
fiueuoe, and we can but feel that a company of
Sew Yorkers owning the public works through
the State, would operate in the same way upon
its interests, but in a fargreaterdegree. It seems
' fired however that such is to be the case, and we
will submit to the powers that be with as good a
grace as possible, but we cannoi sit still and see
the coils of the serpent wound round the vitals
of the Commonwealth without at least uttering
a warning voice.
SIENATORIAL CANDIDAr6B.—Among the per
sons named in Erie as candidates for the Senator
ship are Judge Thompson, O J Ball, James
skinner, M B Lowry, and Wet Kelly, Esqrs.,
Of the latter gentleman, we learn on the most
reliable authority, that be is in every way a suit

plished scholar; a strong advocate of temporame,
in theory and practice; a firm adherent of the
anti-slavery cause; is well versed in the various
questions, local and political, which would be
likely to claim his attention in the State Senate;
and bears an unblemished character. He is spo
ken of in very favorable terms by the Erie Ga
zette, as also by numerous individuals of 0111 par

Pittsburgh & Erie Railroad Mass Meeting

Last, and regret mach that a larger attendance was not had
froui this locality. No Western Crawford wan was present
but left “liitti a aes in Ca.latti la Courier.
We are right glad that the Courier was re
presented at thd "Mass Meeting," and that it
was enabled to furnish to its readers, at home and
abroad, so complete and intelligent a report of
what way there said and done. The Pittsburgh
and elrie Railroad has figured considerably in the
controversies that have sprung from the "Erie
Nihonlties " It has suited the purpose of cer
tain parties to misrepresent at all times the ac
tual feeling and disposition of the people of Erie
towards that important project. At certain cri
tical periods during the "war," the necessities of
those parties appeared to demand increased
activity in the fabrication and ciroulation of
those misrepresentations, and consequently we
have had, time and again, fresh supplies of false
hood and preversion in relation to that Rnad
We have never failed to warn the friends of the
Pittsburgh Road, that, in adopting these slander
ous reports,they were doing not only the citizens
of Erie county a most grievous wrong but actu
ally striking blows that were, at no very distant
day, to fall with redoubled power and injury
upon their own heads. We have always felt and
known, that if any proportion of the iuhabitants
along that Road through the Counties south of
us were inimical to Erie, it was from ignorance
of the true motives anddeaigns of those pretended
friends of the project, who, having undertaken
the wants sod wishes of the "railroad interests"
in the "Erie War," assumed, and seemingly
were accredited with the especial guardianship
of every projected, or prospective Railroad that
was to be located upon Erie County soil. To
say Railroad, we; apparently sufficient with the
"outside world" to suggest alone all that is pure
and disinterested in individual conduct and the
affairs of commerce and trade, while on the other
hand, the man who said Erie, was in danger of
being struck, and the city was looked upon as
but little better than a "den of thieves " '1 he
tide began to turn when the Supreme Court of
the State solemnly adjudicated that Erie was right
in her legal position, and the flow of opinion has
been steadily in the same course since. We have
been patiently awaiting the occasion that was to
put "a flea" in the ears of several sections, and
gradually they are being put. At the "Mass
Meeting" which was so faithfully reported by the
Courier, it was the turn of "Western Crawford"
to be presented with it's "flea," and we are
pleased with the shrewd sensibility that disC'Overed
the trick, and the bold, frank discharge oNuty
that instantly devulged it. The Courrier, in re
porting Mr. Reynolds as saying "that all the
people of Meadville wanted, was the East and West
Road, (Cross-ento" has btruek the very nail, to
clinch which the Finney Senatorial move has
been innitiated. This name Mr Reynolds was
in Columbus, Warren Co., during last winter,
soliciting subscriptions to the Pittsburg Road, all
of the subscriptions to be expended within War
ren Co. What business a Railroad from the
coal mines of Mercer and Lawrence to the Har
bor of Erie, bas in that vicinity, is a question
for the consideration of every "Western Crawford

Mr. Reynolds. of Crawford, stated that he had

bona fir/ r intention of the Company to build the en
tire Road from the Harbor of Erie to the city of
Pittsburg. That it never was the intention of the
Company to avoid its consumation by evading any
part of the obligations imposed by its charter.—
The reason that the work had not been comment:
ed on the North end of the Road. was that neither
the city of Erie nor its citizens have contributed or
offered, until recently, to contribute - It dollar, or
shown any disposition to favor the project. That
no decision had been made by the Company as to
the location of the Northern portion of the main
line.

whom in the course of his remarks took occasion
to say that he had no hesitation in sav ing that the
construction of the Pittsburgh & Eri‘. Road would
be of more benefit to the city of Erie than any
project that was now proposed. but lie was opposed
to making nny arrangement by way of cominuta.
bon of the Railroad difficultids .at Erie. He was
clearly of opinion that the city hail the legal relit
to subscribe the Ei.300.000 to the P. & E Road
On motion of Mr. Laird. it was resolt.-.1 that the

The coal Alone, both in supply and demand, being
sufficient to guarantee a reasonable interest nu the
invcatment. without taking tutu aeeount the ton
nage which a rich agrictilturil ccentry and the

between the river and the lakes.
Rcsolred, That we are much gratified at the et i
deuce of revving interest and confidence in this
great work, and particularly for the pledge of the
city of Erie for $300.000. and its recommendation
