Rail Road.

Action has at length commenced. The ques-
ton, an important and interesting one to the peo-
pie Of the county especially to the farmers, is at
length to be agitated, and we have no fears for
the result. When once properly informed, we
are confident that ourpeople will never stop until
the road is constructed. 1t will add twenty-five
per cent, ut least to the wealth Of the county; il
will save time and money.
The meeting will be numerously attended, o.
that we are confdcnt-and we hope that every
man, who can possibly come, on that day, will be
here. Large numbers. we know. were anxiously

twill be seen that the Central COMMITTEES have
deemed it texpedient to hold County Meeting,
on the 9th january. We would like to see a
goodly number OF the true and stauuch Wings Of
the county present on that day. Let usmake an
energetic effort at the beginning of the yeur and
determine to continue it until Whig President
is elected in November.
We think it would be advisable, at that time, to
appoint two committees--a Central Committee,
consisting OF fve members-aud an Executive
Committee, consisting offfteen members, one
from each township. Such an arrangement, we
think, win produce more harmonious and en-
ergetic effort and keep up better organization.
