Our readers are referred to another column
for the action of the Board of Common Coun-
Gil in relation to this Railroad. 1t will be per-
ceived, that the vote on the adoption of the bill
was unanimous in that Board, and it is proba-
BILE that it will pass the other Beard with the
same unanimity. Indeed, there seems to be
but one feeling abroad in this community, in
relation TO this subject. Nor is the feeling con.
fined to our own merchants and citizens. Per-
sons at distance, travellers and others, have
spoken out, plainly and freely, against the in
justice and oppression practised by the exac-
tons Of this company. These complaints are
increasing daily; and the company must per-
ceive that the time has come, when it is alb
solutely necessary for them to reduce their
charges upon this road, to rate corresponds
ing, as far as practicable, to the charges upon
the other great thoroughfares of our country
The company cannot suppose. that the reduc-
ton Of fifty cents in the rate of fare will salts
fly the public. We tell them that it will not;
nor will any charge beyond one dollar and fifty
cents be tolerated. Andit is also expected, by
our merchants and Others, that the charges on
goods and merchandise, shall be reduced.


We have listened to some singular develop
ments in relation to the policy of this compa-
ny; and at a proper time, unless it should be
done by some other hand, we intend to en-
Tighten our readers, and the public, as TO that
policy by which this company persists in its
exorbitant charges.


The corporate authorities of our city are
fully justified in the measures which they pro-
pose, in justice to the interests of their imme-
diate constituents. and ofthe public. And they
have formed very erroneous opinion of the
character Of our people, who have supposed
that they will submit to wrongs, when the
power to redress them is in their own hands.
Whatever this company intend to do, should
be done quickly. M
