Men

who mean what they say and do what the T mean, in the abort**! possible lime. Bat we do eot wish to be understood as conveying the idea that these men. at their own expense, will-build a road for us. We simply wUh to be uadarstood ns saying that they ntc men open whom we may dopend, in connection with our own exertions to do “with Uie»r might,’’ what the means which we provide, find for them to do. Nor is this leature of the quest on aoapprecial^d by the people of our county, and all along the route. They now we something tangible; and the men of inflcenco and capital are taking bold of the work trjth anergy, and we believe that no railroad project has ever been started in our county, that called forth half the capiul, iu&uenc*, and enterprise that this

will.

But, for want of apace, we must close these remarks for tbe present. And, In conclusion wc say to our readers—if you want a railroad—act, act consistently, act with energy, act speedily, act with harmony. act pcrwveringly until the work is accomplished. *1 he men at the head this enterprise wiii act their part, if we nobly act ours. His not to be supposed that tbe people along the route will provide all the means ; hot if they do what lh*y really have the ability to do, the deficiency will be supplied. Be ready to your hands deep iuto your own pockets, remembering that if you fail, the fault will be your own; and we believe that if this enterprise fail*, wc may loot ’hereafter Tn rate for the accomplishment of out long cherished hopes of a railroad, about which to much has been ta\d for the last ten years. Wo say then to jwu, reader, who may now be pereuiog theae random marks, •sviH yew do your part, and use your

Now. to ear minds, these qoeslicn* may >re readily aaawered. and in a few words: Wa can bate a railroad if wo wUI, we xeill Imre it if we ora willing, nnanimoarij, to net our port; wa ahaU have one trim exact that pert, nod we shall have oue by acting that part, and but few will doubt that the road to be bvilt is that which a supplctaeol jost passed by onr Legislature authoritaa the MlHviife'andX.laesbore Uailroad Oompany to bn]Id. And npon the question what road shall it be ! or. upon the aspect lathe railroad question which this route presents, the whole matter scorns at pres-

ent to hinge.

Wa have had several project! in the past,each of which have bad their advantages and disadvantage* Among there, 'the roots where this road i» to be bollt, has found the most friends, and although, we may have differed in opinion from many, in reference to this matter, still we are willing to waive that difference of opinion, asd aid. with our mite, tbo project which is the «hoicwt of the majority, as this route undoubtedly is. Wa think we are either etemocratie or republican enough thus to yield to the voice of Ua apjeriiy. That tho Gape May and Atlantic road might, and weald, have Upon built, bat for tho legal inability of Ibo Camden and Atlantic company to enter into a contract srilb t hot company, wo do not question. And that that route has some advantage* which the other due* not posreaa, w» are raB p.U»t But that p<‘je«l. «n account of Ike legal inability above named, has become a dead letter, and scarcely to be --—-.i We say then, let it rest. ‘"Peace
