.egu,a,ius Railroads by Law.

A. B. ALLEN of Oswego, and made the specia!
Order for Saturday, professedly TO protect pnssea-
gers on Railroads from imposition We like the
object very much, and DO not object to its accom-
olishment by Legislation. But let US see how this
bill proposes to effect it:
l. Each Railroad is required to stop its trains
at least thirty minutes each the termination Of
its Road-that is, the trains going West from Al
bany must stop at least thirty minutes at Science
tady thirty more at Utica, thirty more at Syracuse,
thirty more at Auburn and 80 on. What for!
Who is to be benefited by this Certainly not the
passengers, who do not want to be stopped, but
put ahead. Needless or too long stops at these
non,s are now one Of the chief vexatioas OF hal
road travelling, rapid as 1t 49, II Mr. Aisen VIII
insert clause providing that the trains snail @ot
stor over fifteen minutes except Were ihs passeh-
gers arc to eat, we II think of going in tor 1t; ous
this legal requisiton of delay and hlndrance Is TO
US utterly unaccountable.
9 Each Railroad is forbidden, under penalty
of $3.50, to allow its Cars TO be any other
| Road that is the passengers must be turned out
of one set of Cars into another at Schenectady
into another at Utica and so split and gathered up
seven or eight times in going to Buffalo Here is
aw-makng wrong end foremost again. law re-
curing one set of Cars to be rnn straight through
! from Albany to Buffalo would have some sense in
! 1t; but this can answer purpose but to annoy
| and vex both Companies and Passengers. 1t would
be pretty business, on arriving at Utica, to find
that YOU mus, wait th.re twelve hours because the
train expected TO 60 on had broken down, and that
YOU were in, though all ready, forbidden to do
so by law.
s. This bill requires every Railroad to open its
! Depot to TWO runners from each Steamboat, Rail-
road, Packet-boat or Stage line Now a law to
shut these gentlemen all out infexibly until the
passengers had gathered up their baggage and de-
cided how TO proceed, we could understand ; but
to stop passengers half an hour at every Depot,
and set regiment of runners oron them--what
can the man mean? If he wants the passengers
punished for their sins, let him just have the trains
stopped half an hour in the Montegun,s marshes
while ehe mosquitoes take g dig ct them. But
eight such Beds-of Justice on the way to Buff
faio seem to US quite 700 many for the sins of any
frail moral. Every party of pleasure on their
way to the Falls will be obliged to take Mes
uerizer aoag with them to render tIen, nsensib!e
to the noise, importantly and profanity
There is gre at deal mere that e ''ischlcVouS
and absurd in this bill Of Ne. Aliens, but we have
neither patience room TO pursue 1t farther.
D-The TYLER MEETING at the Tabernacle
last evening was rather funny affair, considering
that it was held in Church. Mr. Amos Palmer
Loco oco now first made famous was called to
the Chair, with goodly string of ofice-seekers
brother, ind Custom House expectanls for Vice
| Presidents and Secretaries. Messrs. Edward
Sanford and James II. Raymond read the Address
and Resolutions. When we looked in little past
8, we judged that there were LOCO Whigs, as
many Loco-Focos, and several nominal Tyler men
sresent-perhaps SOC. Hon. CALEn CUSHING
was on his legs. He spoke well, but not with
much apparent effect. The Wings hIrrahed for
Clay and the Locos for Van Buren,, which was all
wrong, no such performances being specified in the
bills of the evening. But Mr. c. rather provoked
| them to it. In insisting that neither Wings nor
Loco-F ocos had any ground of principle to stand
upon in condemnng Tyerism, ne committed a
very common but grave mistake-just man
who has taken too much teddy fancieo the world
is whirlng round twice minute, and not his own
| poor nodde. Col Zabriske of New.J crsey after
wards enlightened the audience with speech.
We know nothing ofwhat it was about reuarking
only that he neglected to designate the precise Of
ice for which he was working-though every one
understood his general aim He made u very
| happy s!iuson to the " Farmer of Ashland which
called down the whole house in roar OF arplese !:
1t was received with deafening ehaers-hearty and
long continued The audience apparently thought
| 1t would not be easy for the Colonel TO make a
better hit-so they persuaded him to wind of his
oratien. The Resolutions were at once put and
declared carried, and the meeting in great haste
was prou ounced adjourned.
| 10 About the meenelt case of Party Proscrip-
ton we ever heard of, is that of Mr.. Speaker DA
Wis, of our Assembly, who appointed the ttle son
Of an Irisbman, of Albany, one of the Messengers,
and the next day turned him out because his father
i Though Loco-Foco) voted the Wbig Ticket last
Fall on account of refusal of the Loco. Focos to
include the Catholic Schools in their distribution
of the School Money. The father had asked
nothing for himself or his son, and the appoint.
ment and dismissal were wan.on and bitter in.
