Nov we have no disposition to question the
accuracy OF tho statement as to the amount
already subscribed on the books of the Cen

the motive or condemn the judgment that
leads the Atlas TO show its par,ialhy TO ths,

days, an ! should the people Of Western Yer.

the prediction that she subscribers for The

land has ever seen. II j, an old saying
that 'falsehood will travel miles while
truth is putting on her boots and never
has there been exhibited n moro striking
ILLUSTRATION of the truth OF this adage, than
in the controversy Tint has been gong on
in relation to these two routes. From the
frs, outset Of this controversy, the friends
of the Central route have appeared 10 rely
solely on their own exaggerated statements,
as the means by which they were TO dnpe
the citizens OF Boston into the support Of
their route, and lead them into the belief
tina, no other route, if feasible, can ever lie
made so advantageous, to the Boston in
,cres,s. Every effort has been made by
these men to misIcnl public opinion in ref.
erencc TO the comparative feasibility Of the
two routes, and Of the nature business, &c.
Of each. They have claimed every thing
for lhcms, elves, and admitted nothing aguns'
them nor for any other route Even during
the past week we see their old statement,
reileru,ed in the Boston papers in reference
to the tap u, Rutland by which freigh, is lc
be drawn oTlh road here, to find marl;e,
100 or 10 miles farther from US than Bos.
ton On the other hand the friends Of the
Western route have relied entirely on the
merits Of the question, md without doubling
that the in,clligen, and far seeing business
men of Boston would readily see the route
indicated by nature and circumstances, %
favor the prosperity OF Boston. 1t wns not
until the mos, prepcstcrous claims in favor
OF the Central route had been put forth by
its friends, and the mos, Unfair statements
made in reference to our own route, that
the friends OF the Western, moved at oil -
We have been most sadly dupcd into the
making OF a survey, which our opponents
and false friends have lost no opportunity
in turning against US. We have had, not
only the bold and inscriptions action oil
our natural opponents, the friends OF the
Central route, 10 contend with, but we have
had TO meet the treacherous wiles Of those
who, while protesting themselves out
friends, have Tor selfish purposes en-
dcavored to defeat our purposes ....
Still, we will end this as we began, by say.
ing, tina, we believe all will yet come ou
as we could wish, and lha, when our book,
are once before the Boston public, we sbal
from Them receive such a subscr Upton al

question, Ond secure to them and rs. tn,
