NEW YORK AND ERIE RAiLRoAD.-A correspon-
dent who signs himself Fulton" has written us a
letter on some matters relative to the above railroad
TO winch ne appears to attach Importance. After
speaking OF 1t as great public work. as one giving
the highest augures of ultimate success-as grand
conception, all OF which are excusable in an ardent
admlrer OF railroad enterprize, his next object
seems TO be to crimlnate certain parties whom he
styles designing men, in striving to impede and
check Its progress to completion. Fulton does not
state any specific facts, but very directly repeats
that since the commencement of the three million
subscription, those intriguing persons have made ef
forts to poison the public mind, and ruin confidence
In the work


In declining to insert this letter of Fulton il is not
because ne may not be right. and take proper views
of the project and the misconduct Of those connected
with II; but because it worse than useless TO
reason with, or advise them We have received
humoeress statements on both sides, and we are
tired oftheir alterations recrimlnatlon and souab
bling. Since the beginning of the New York and
Ere railroad, and the New York and Albany rail-
road, too, instead of unanimity, hberaity and ac-
non, we have seen selfshness intrigue and faction
prominent In the councils of the shareholders and
directors 1t Is disgrace to the capitalists of New
York that neither this nor anyother public enterprise
with which they are connected, can 60 on in man
ner becoming business men. Why do they not take
lesson from the Bostonians, with whom to re-
solve and perform one! What is there in the
projects OF New Workers necessarily to impose all
this unprolifc noise and difficulty, and make them
like the mountain in labor! We agree with SO Full
ton" that the public interest ought not 10 be para
lyzed by the ambition and se6shness of few, or of
many, nor delay be caused in the completion of this
railroad since ii has been begun; but we again say
that there is use in remonstrance or advice to
these parties who seem to be incapable of seeing
their proper course, and pursuing it.
