OUR RAILROAD

Mr. Gilbert with his party Of Engineers
has nearly completed the locating survey
from Burlington to this place. We have
examined the Maps and Profl.s Of the To-
Gated line from Burlington to Mddlebury
80 mlles) and do not hesitate to pronounce
it for direclnes Of line, ease Of curves and
grades, and cos, Of construction, as good
line as can be found in New England Mr.
Glbeit assures US that the line from Mid.
dlebury 10 this place is equally good with
that north Of M'ddlebury making IS con.
secutve miles OF cheaper road, than any
line Of the same length in New England.
The result Of the locating survey so far
is highly gratifying TO the friends OF the
project, as il has established the fac, tina,
our Road can be bull; cheaper even than
Mr. Gilbert FIRST estimated. We are now
assured tina, the whole IS miles rom Bur.
l'ngton 10 Rutland can be graded, including
masonry and bridging, for 100000 As
soon as the surveys are completed to this
place, and the rrofles and estimates are
made up, it is the intention of the building
committee to advertise portions Of the Road
for contract Already proposals have been
received from responsible contractors for
grading portions of the Road upon highly
advantageous terms for the company.
The locating survey has asccrlained the
feasibility Of new lines that will better &c.

For the last three days receipts Of pro-
duce has been more than usually hea-
w, owing TO the fine state of navigation
in the upper rivers, all of which are ris-
ing. At this point the Mississippi Is still
coming up, and is now some SIX feet a
boye the low water mark, allowing
boats of the largest class to arrive and
depart, full freighted without difficulty.
This must give an impetus to the ship
ping interests, and tend materially to the
reduction Of the present high rates OF
freights, at the same time it will encour-
age produce buyers to operate more ex-
tenslvely. Money is yet scarce how
ever, and levec business, thus far is prin-
cipally confined 10 forwarding. A large
number of New Orleans boats are in

RenOSs s.Strance.

The Tariff reported by the Committee
of Ways and Means is substantially the
bill from the Treasury Department re-
ducing many of the most important pro-
tective duties one half-other two thirds.
Iron and coal are stripped Of nearly two
thirds of their present protection. Strong
indications have been given of deter
mination to press this destructive mea-
sure to speedy decision before the peo-
pie have time to see or understand Its pro-
visions, and it is believed that nothing
can arrest it but strong and prompt ex-
preston of popular opinion against it.
1t is, therefore, recommended to the
press friendly to American Industry
throughout the country TO publish and
distribute with their papers, brief re-
monstrancc signed by the friends OF A
merican Industry, without distinction of
party, to this effect.
ITO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REP
REsENTATIvEs OF THE UNITED STATES:
The undersigned citizens of the State
of Pennsylvania, respectfully remonstra te
against any change of the present Tariff,
which has rendered our country eminent-
ly prosperous. Any change at this time
while capital is being rapidly and exten-
iensIvely invested III manufactures, ncrea-
sing the markets for agriculture and the
employment for labor, would, in the opin-
ion Of the undersigned. be highly injuri-
Gus to tie best interests Of our country.

COunterfeits.

Spurious notes on the State Bank of
Indiana, Erie Bank, one of ihc Baltimore
Banks, and on several others, arc said TO
be in circulation, mostly in Western
Pennsylvania. Spurious American and
Mexican haif-dollars are also in circula-
ton in Ohio and elsewhere. Persons
receiving money should be very cautious.
e. Merchants and others who may
detect counterfeit money, would do ser
vice TO the public by sending US de-
scription of the same for publication.

FURNACES.

We have already four Furnaces in
this county, and in case the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is completed to Pittsburgh,
and Congress does not interfere with the
present duty on Iron, we may have a
number more erected in the course of a
few years. Our mountains contain an
abundance of rich ore, and our streams
afford ample water power for all the ma
chinery necessary to convert 1t into iron.
The following furnaces are either in blast
OR in the course of erection:-
Buckingham Furnace" in Shade
township, Henry Little. proprietor.
''Shade Furnace" now owned by
Shryers, Bingham q Co.
'Jenner Furnace" Huber, Myers &
Co, proprieters-
Conemaugh Furnace" in progress of
erection by King IL Schoneberger.

PEACE OR WAR!

The Resolutions for "notice" having
passed both Houses Of Congress, in a
modified form, it is belived that thus far
there exists no cause for war between the
United States and England. There is
nothing offensive in the language OF the
Resolutions themselves, nor is the giving
notice to England to be viewed as a
warlike measure on the part Of our Gov
ernment. 1t is not intended as SUCH
The Resolutions look 10 a settlement Of
the difficulty after the notice shall have
been given, without resort TO arms
and it is only by the adoption Of some
other measure, either by our own Gov
ernment or that of Great Britain, that
war is likely to be brought on. Such a
measure we believe to be the Oregon Bill
which has passed the House, provided it
also passes the Senate aud becomes law.
But large majority Of Senators appear
to be conservative in their views, and
hence it Is inferred that the Bill will be
rejected in that body, and that war will
thus be averted, at least for the present.
On the contrary, should that inference be
wrong, and the Bill consequently pass,
then we cannot prepare for fight TOO
soon. The moment our laws are ex-
tended over Oregon, that moment the
torch of war Will be lighted. As regards
our Government, the question Of peace or
war therefore now remains entirely with
the Senate, the decision Of which is look
ed Cor with more than ordinary interest.

e.Let wen enough alone y,

This admcnition applies with equal
force to all the affairs of life, both pub
lie and private; and fortunate would it be
for men in general If ii were more
strictly regarded. But we know of no
particular case to which it would better
apply, than that of the existing Tariff,
which it appears TO be the object of the
President to have reduced. Under the
Tariff OF 1923 our country was prosper
ous; but that Tariff had to be destroyed
to crafty the South; and all know what
ensued. The country was carried TO
the brink Of ruin, and the national treasu-
~ had become almost bankrupt. The
policy Of 1923 had to be again resorted
TO, and the present Tariff was established;
and now, that things begin to look pros
porous again, this well-tried policy, which
within the last eighteen years has twice
lifted up the country and given an
impulse to every branch of business in
which the industrial classes are engaged,
is again assailed and is in danger of being
broken down and eradicated, to crafty
the same craven spirit which caused the
destruction Of the Tariff of 1928. If we
had any influence with the President, We
should say to him 'let well enough a
lone;' if he were to consult our farmeas
and mechanics, they would answer hm
by saying '.let well enough alone;" and
If the voice Of the thousands engaged in
various domestic manufactures could
reach his ear, he would hear one univer-
sal shout of "let sceH enough Qlsne!"

Extensive preparations are in progress
at Washington for the Great National
Fair, which is to be held there during the
present month. A large building has been
erected for the special purpose of arran-
ging and exhibiting The various articles of
American skill and enterprise that are
expected from every section of the Uni
on. The exhibition will no doubt be a
"great affair" the interest of which viii
be not little enhanced by the presence
of most of the GREAT MEN OF THE Ma
TIoN-HENRY CLAY, we hope, among
the number. We imagine it will be a
scene the sight of which would do one
good for half lifetime, and feel not a
little s.down in the mouth" on account of
being deprived, by 'chain of circum-
Stances as the lawyers say, of the plea
sure Of witnessing it.
