Tlie list is, as follows:— Robert T. Stockton, Robert L. Stevens, John W. Mlcklc, Richard P. Thompson, JofauO. Boscnbauui, David Potter and Jrnhua Swain. To do Justice to the memory of cash and all of thca* eminent men, would occupy more space Uuui w* aa devote to the subject. The oonhection of most of them with the lmprnvoments which have nude New Jersey a great" w liioro ugh fare of business and travel, them to a commendation, that requires an abler pen Uian ours to portray. As one by one of these useful mcu passed away from the scene of their labors, Uteir survivors felt that graver responsibilities rested upon them, since few could be found to take their places, who woukl bring to the discharge of Uteir duties the same prdAicai experience, «r could feel the same yearning road. Their ambition wna to have our State excel in those progressive clemcnU -which constitute her greatness, and which have conferred untold benefits upon her people. The proud monuments of their perseverance and untiring energy, however, live after thctu, j and will be recognized as testimonials ! of their worth, so long as railroads | serve the purpose of man. It was fortunate that these gentlemen were spared unUl they beheld the V complete success of their rntVrjiriM It must Itnvc been no small rotuoUtion to them, to kuow that llwir years of _ devotion' to this great undertaking was to be rewarded flu- beyond their expectations; nor coukl it have beau less gratifying to witness the happy results which followed. One add all of them were dlstiogUUhrd for State pride, and . took an acUve part in whatever tended , to elevate bcr character, or to eccure . blessings to mankind. Like the first ' great railroad enterprise of the State, 5 ib projectors had to depend upon Jvme ^ capital. ' No . asetslotica cento from atwoad — hone was asked for that wo I* are aware of, although the West Jersey U Rood has added largely to the business v lutercaU of Philadelphia and other ^ nlai-cs, opening up svsnues of trade that must have been closed for a long _ period Without it. Tbo decease of Commodore Stockton * rendered s partial nMwganlzation of Uie Board necessary; and, on the 94th ; or NoweiBber, 1860. a meeting was con- ' V cited for thai purpose. J.
