It's now perfectly apparent tina, one Rail /
road /, to DO built from Boston to Lake
Champlain. believe tina, no one who keeps
himself informed of wha, is being done upon
the subject in Boston, any longer doubts
that Railroad is TO be built upon some one
OF the several routes And now a mighty |
struggle is going on rs to which shall be
the first selected. The friends Of all the
routes (unltss it may be ours) are using their
utmost efforts to have theirs selected.
There are many routes which presen,
strong claims which are urged with all the
energy and perseverance, which strong fSeI-
ings can elicit. There are two propositions
for the extension OF the Concord Rail Road
from Coccord, y. II, 10 Connecticut River,
on one Of these 5000, 900 of stock has been
been subscribed and the Company organized
within ten days, and the books sent to Bos-
ton for further subscriptions.
Another Route is the extension Of tho
Fnchbursh, tho stock for which has been ia
ken to bring the road to Connecticut River,
thence there are two propositions, one 10
follow Up the Connecticut, to the mouth
of White nvcr and thence TO Mont
peuer and Burlington, and the Other to cross
the mountains through Mounlholly and
thence 10 Burlington.
The majority OF the stock o; either must
be taken by the people OF Boston. They are
ready and willingness anxious TO take their
portion in one Road. Wh'eh road that shall
be will depend upon many circumstances -
But the great argument which will determine
them as to which road to peter will be IN
which Route do the people on the Route
manifest, the mort interest, and that Is the
mos, natural thing in the world. They say
the Road mus, be built and manged by the
people on the line Of the Road-are We go
ing 10 pu, our money into an enterprise that

hdence IN. themselves Certainly not. We
wish for Railroad TO connee, Us with Lake
Champlain and Monireal-seIe are four
routes-shall we aid the one tina, has the con
hience and support or the people, on thu
line and in which They feel an interest, or
shall we aid the other in which they feel no
interest. Thea, fellow citizens, 1t only re-
mains for US 10 determine whether we will
have the Railroad or not. Either route IL

business to sausfy the people iol Bosor
