OUR RAILROAD.

The apathy Of the people Of Addison Conn.
| ~ in relation 10 our Rail Road seems to be
most profound when their energies should be
exerted to tho utmost tension. A year ago
when clouds and darkness brooded over our
prospects, all was comparative hope and an
imation. But when the misis have a, las,
been lifted from the eyes OF the people of the
cast, and the skies are there Frightening into
perfect day. we find many sves ofihose Who
once rode harrnnSued and importuned for
aid TO the road as qniescent as If they had
never lisped word upon tho subject. Nor
10 it to be wondered at that the constant sue
eession ofiinpedimenfs which have disturbed
tho progress Of this great enterprise, should
have created degree Of incredibly as to its
ultimate success even among the most san
suine advocates. But there is now no
grounds for doubt aud apathy. The Bos-
tonians no longer hal, between two opinions.
The friends Of the Fhchbursh and Cheshire
roads are now putting forth every effort in
our favor. A meeting Of these Boards in
Boston has been announced on the Doth inst.
when it is expected they will subscribe $780,
600 to our fluids and make all needed efforts
TO have our stock taken TO the full amount.
But they have right to expect We shall pay
our assessments upon tho million we have
promised thon,. And who is unwilling 10 do
this. Unexpected misfortunes may have
disabled some. But every man who has a
stake ir the country worth preserving should
stop, ponder and reflect upon the vast i'm
porance Of this road to his own thrift, and
the advancement Of all in business. wealth
and prosperity. He need not regard his
subscription as gratuity. When this road
shall have been constructed we doubt no, he
will receive ten cents yearly income upon
every dollar invested in il. Look at the con- |
slant advancement OF railroad stock in the
market Roads costing double the Rutland
are Tar above par. and the stock is sought for
IN preference to Bank stock. 1t is surely no
time to shrink when,powerful auxilliaries are
pressing TO our aid. Now is the time to put
our shoulder TO the wheel if we wish Her
cuies to help US. Should the east fulfill our
expectations, we stand committed,
and both on, interest and our plighied faith
demand the redemption of our pledges. Far
better would il be TO forgo hundred other
ndulgsnces than to deny to ourselves and
he country the greatest public boon that has
'ver been offered for our acceptance.
