| Considerable interest seems 10 be awak
ened ia different parts Of this State, on the
question, whether the Vermonlers shall
have one or more roads Of the above de-
scripton, 10 run from Burlington so as TO
intersect some one Of the rail roads coming
from Boston. The people on the cas-. side
of the Mountain need rail road more than
those on this side, especially from Claren-
don 10 Burlington, and think they will
have one. The question, then, in my mind,
is, whether tlro roads of that kind, running
through from Brattleboro' TO Burlington,
will be profitable 10 the stockholders, and TO
the people Of this State.
| saw from the last Burlington Free
Press, that a meeting for the purpose Of
discussing the rail road question, was TO be
held on the 27,h inst. at that place. An
other meeting Of like character is 10 be held
in Brattleboro on the 9Th of next month.
Several articles are copied from other
papers, this week, that the readers OF the
Voice may see the interest manifested by
others, and if they feel that they have any
interest at stake, they may call meetings
for the discussion of the subject, or iurnish
mater.o of fact arguments for this paper, and
in this way get the facts before portion
of the people in this section. think the
question whether road be established,
running from Brattleboro' to Burlington,
through this section Of the State, may as
we'll be decided during the coming winter,
as at any future time. What say you, cap
lalists, manufacturers, merchants, farmers
and mechanics? Do you want TO investl-
gate the subject, and come TO decision
soon, whether or no you will have such
road If you do, speak out on the subject,
if you know anything about the matter; but
if you do not, get some body to write who
does.-J H.
P. S. Since writing the foregoing, have
seen several articles from different papers
published south g. east of US, and the 9ener
al expression seems TO be, that the Rail
Road must come through this section. A
meeting too of which had not sect the
notice when | wrote, has Teen held 10 this
village, the result Of which is as follows:
