SIR,-In n work invovin great expenditure
Of money as the construction Of Rail Road from the
St Lawrence to the Atlantic, it is obvious to remark,
that, however enthusiastic its projectors may be, or
however liberal and philosophical in delraying pre-
liminary expenses and subscribing to the stock,
yet the completion Of the work If prosecuted
to completion, must depend upon that cool,
calculating class Of tho community, the capital
isis: and the cooperation Of tho capitalists DO
pected only in view Of profitable for their in
vestments. However sp'ended the enterprise, how
ever identified with the growth and prosperity of the
cities at the termin 0c the country intervening,
unless there is a reasonable, and indeed very strong
probability of good dividends the necessary capital
| cannot be secured Again. il be demonstrated to
the satisfaction OF capitalists that the stock will be
good ultimately, there remains another very impor-
tant inquiry viii the investments produce speedy re-
turns' or must the stock remain unproductive until
the entire work is completed? An enterprise OF this
magnitude will, under the most favorable circum-
stances, require several years for its completion
! Hence The importance OF selecting a line Of route
which shall traverse productive region Of country.
Experience has proved, THAI, however important may
have been the business from the termini of long lines
Of railway the profit Of those lines depends essential
Iy upon the way freight and passengers. In project
ing the different railroads rada,ing from Boston inland
! great regard has been prd authentic statistics
showing the resources of sections of country inerhe-
! date between the termini.
have called your attention, Sir, to these obvious
considerations, with view of DEMONSTRATING as I
trust shall be able satisfactorily to do that the pro
posed line of railway riom Concord through sec
tons of NJ. Hampshire and Vermont 10 the Province
Line at 'Stanstead, traverses n country whose re-
sources and present Prcductveness and business are
such to afford sure guaranty, that, each sue
cessive section Of the railway is completed, its stock
will be Immediately productive.
| Ircgret, however, the necessity which exists for
deferrng future opportunity the information de-
! sire to communicate in this connection, having made
arrangements to leave the city this afternoon. With
your permission, Sir, hope avail myself of an ear
