In ASSEMBLY, to-day. Mr. BLoDGETT of Gencsee rose
and moved the consideration OF his resolution TO enable
the ne Railroad between Albany snd Buffalo 10 carry
freight all the year round paying tolls as on the Canal
/ thereon. Tie reasoned In this manner
]. Ths, the Railroad WAS speedy mode OF convey
for produce At all seasons of the year and the only
/ mode by which many articles Of perishable nature
could be conveyed from Western New-iork to the sea
I board Tor use or expectation, stsny period
,. That were the line OF Railroad between Albany
and Buffalo enabled 10 carry freight At AL seasons u
would form very considerable item IN the receipts OF
the proprieiors snd enable them TO lay down heavy

duce the price of fare and of freight

but lust that passing the Railroad which would
otherwise have passed the Canal ~ not sent down the

passed on the Canal which If II did, the Canal fund
would be the gamer because much produce mat Is
pershabe would be sent that Is not now sent IN any
way and merchandise would be conveyed to the west
