Friends of the Newly ork and Enc Il road
how goes tho battle in your section Is every
thing done and doing that should be? Are the
people every where supplied with documents prov
ing beyond cavil the nnnte and unconquerable hos
tity of Loco-Fo ccism to Internal Improvement,
and especially to yoxr great Work Arc the sew
eral propositions on that subject submitted to our
late Legislature, with the comments and YEAS
and NAYS thereon, properly clucidatcd and placed
in every voters hands? Arc your speakers o. the
stump? In short, ARE you ALL AT WORK.
Anxious as we arc for an suspicious result in the
State, we feel an especial sociude respecting the
vote Of the South Western Counties. That vote
will determine in the minds Of capitalists and
business men as well as our Legislators, whether
that section really and heartily desires the speedy
completion of the Erie Railroad, or does not
This point has been much disputed. Loco-foco
emsssres in other sections insist that the Road Is
not needed nor seriously desircd-that the whole
project is farce, and regarded by the People
there though they are willing to have money spent
among them if any body chooses to supply It,
Blu. thew insis: that there is no real, decided iee
ing on the subject Within the last month we
travelled with a prominent Van Buren, politician OF
the centre, fresh from e,ectoneerng tour on
rhe line OF the Road, who insisted that the Road
was not wanted, and that the completion OF the
line from New-York to Buffalo would answer al
purposes!
For years we have labored in every capacity for
the construction of the Erie Railroad. We have
advocated it in person and through various jour
nails we have subscribed all we could afford to It's
stock, have paid good part, and intesd to pay
the uttermost arrhing We arc ready still 10 la
Dor and risk for it's completion But II the ieo'
pie of the South West sustain the party which
kicked them out Of the late islature with scots
and derision--whch fills the high places of the
State with Young, Flagg and Hoilman-whch
puts the Road up for sale. la Catskiu and 1th-
AGA, deridins and execratng the idea OF the State
buying OF hel ping i-whatcGn we say farther Must
we not admit that there is real expectation OF
desire in the Southwest that the Road will ever
be built For if the People OF that region Will
stand such treatment as they have received the
past winter, what will they not stand
Men Of the Southwest! the fate of the Erie
Railroad rests with YOU For years the Wing:
from the Loco.Foco party and press OF other sec
tons because they have steadily persisted in IN,
policy of completing the unfinished Public Works
of The State, including Yours. For years We have
borne an ncessant voley of abuse from your adver
saries Al last Loco-F ocosm has The power, and
how does it treat you Is it not with derisior
and SOOTHING in the Legislature, and with hollow
secret promises on the eve of an important Eicc
ton Can you trust to such promises Whom
do shey bind Where is your security People
of the Southwest! YOU can only rely for aid tc
