Influenced rsed by The Anonymous attacks which

forming The business o such thorou Of freight and
travel s1d the speed safety and cheapness Of uanspos
Ton upon it, they view s the objections that have been
suggested as incorrect, uufounded or frivolous.
In regard the prohsbene.s Of The road the Of
freight snd passage proposed and The enormous business
that would pass upon it, they say that every sc In
lson The subject which has come to thelr knowledge
since their last publication, has only strengthened the opin
ion. then expressed. Scarcely day passes but hey
assured from persons Of the best information upon the
subject that the estimates Of the business made heretofore
by the Commissioners are entirely TOO low
TO the necessity OF the works their conviction Is
strong a. ever They sincerely believe that every other
dependence Is entirely alaeous, such
nicaion with Albany the importance of the roUts de-
mands and the Of the city mpersiively require.

The Commissioners again express their firm belief that
II the subscription the stock Of this road should fall It
would be great calamity to the city. Let not the Import
ance Of this great pc rort be obscured In the minds Of
any by the hope that without their efforts some available
substitute will be provided IN OF time. There Is %
substitute H. The piece Of road constructed by the Hs
lem Company taking into view the character Of the
and the structure, not worth considering for the great
object in view That road may be connected with The
Boston and Albany Chatham, but in either case 4 sub.
ec the intercourse Of New ork with Albany to the
troll Of Boards Directors .sseously fostering the con-
mecia interests Of rival mart and the result OF such
lance may be estimated by he tribute now exscted from
York the transit Of goods by the Houssonc road
on which Is psr ton is charged the lowest tsss TO New
York while a. only charged over more expensive
route 10 Boston and It Is within the knowledge of the
ouers that fresh pork IL conveyed tardly to New
York a. TOP, while tho same 10 transported 10 Bus
ton for - per ton.
But from former experience let not the community rely
on the Harlem Company for road 10 Albany The sub.
Joined from apubc document shows the danger Of
such reliance The Eastern rshc s the only natural sort
OF business for that road.
