ZION OF Railroad along The banks Of The Hudson river, and
the ca OF The work we proposes anu IN their safe
rnen,s see., Ia public attention away from the true
question you and rely suberfuges and qsiobies
,bn, are unworthy Of willing 10 discuss any question
uoon It's ueri,s take the liberty OF again briefly ad
dressing yon in the hope that in this instance mas de-
fin. or position in such thai il may be perfectly
upde s;uod by all
son River Railroad admit that We as we'll as all Inc M
sabiBn,s river have deep 'nerrSt IN The
rance prepared TO do all in our power towards
We are perfecy satisfi tina, we shall obtain charter
in spite al, Interested oppo iton, becanse no Intelligent
State Legislature be unjust ueay common
syp;l.g viii we seek no aid from Snle, New

your aid ali seek very speedily and Certainly be OBJ
S9inei.
We maintain tina, tie river route five miles shorter
than The EASTERN has 554 less of elevation
h. w.sn New York ana Greena ,c grade
Srced .enn FEET to the mile that the transportation OF
eigh passengers onsequenly be carried 80
per cheaper tom Tie ct lighter engines and the
less that will be requ ed To the elevations
that the trips through by train made in from
one hours rss time, and with greater safety
Tba, lhan half OF ali that travel the Iud
Throughout, The ,rdy passengers who pay
greaier anouot oil passage mey aunna!ly than through
passengers and can be accommodated on this rone for both
SIDES Of the al all seasons while OF them he
carried on The eastern route lying twenty miles distant
which circumstance alone shows that the income os pas
senger river roa would be double laton The other
D. That Tie towns on The Hudson IN Duchess county,

mercantile, mechanical anu manufacturing pursuits;
while those OF the eastern are purely agricultural.
g. that The argument put forth by advocates OF the
.s4Sl tn Npy.
York sed Amount OF trade is based upon premise
erays ouna its way 10 New York, and always mus, Will
COCA roads extend easery from the river and The Housa
ionic road lies but sur miles distant from It.
Th,t aud tor the river road there
IS WOODEN factories Iii inng mills, 49 factories, 1853
tanaeres 6 brewerirs 4iO Touring and or smi 6s6saw
mills 81 furnaces, and FORCES, oil NILS two OF The
calico hitting establishments The couutry

villages will tarnish large OF the valuable
kinds OF wayiseh none OF which pass The eastern
g. ihal toe line OF the Hudson Is the upon which
daily Uned States mail Arrays transported that
iase income from that be calculated upcp
which can never reach any other route.
That the articles OF vegetables milk, fresh provisions
&c Tor the Sew.fork markets, liked n in lavor
OF lac eastern route, be supplied unlimited amount
a.nns the river at all seasons.
10 Thai thl' route passes directly opposite the dept
The Lsckswahns Coal Company at Rondout. from which
coal could be- transported through The winter 10
al6suy, Bosom, and other Intermediate distant
po!nss, thus adding material iea to the income OF the
road

II That we intend Psrssvere IN the work we have
commencet and from position are certain that when
Sne taa river road will command all the business and
travel that viii seek railroad transportation between New
York and The aort and avDg other works, wherever
located, vaueess when this is in operation
These, fellow cizsns the grounds we assume IN Ia
