who have confidence in each others peedlude and
Integrity, and treat each other accordingly.
But the Commercial says that - Mr. Bettencourt
has, to the best of the knowledge and belief of
sundry citizens here, for many long years, day by
day, month by month, and year by year placed him
self in hostile position towards this road" The
Commercial ought 10 be better informed upon these
matters than we be, but it seems 10 US that it
goes rather too far, totally forgetting that certain
committee, consisting of w. A. Wright, NJ. London,
P. K. Dickinson, Alex McRae and W. G. Been-
court, attended the Legislature of 1852, as a COM
mittee on behalf of the Road when the mortgage bill
was under consideration. We all know that that
bill or resolution, forget which, by giving the new
mortgage priority that held by the State ena-
bIed the Dad to get iron and that its subsequent
prosperity, if not its existence, depended upon this.
We do not know the amount Of influence which Mr.
Betencourt exercised possessed in the malter but
he certainly took strong interest for the road the
most mnmentous crisis OF Its history.
We have desired most sincerely to avoid any con.
troversy in this matter. We have attacked no ONE

that contemporaries will, upon reflection, see The

The Commercial has made certain demands OF The
Standard. That paper is fully able to take its own
part and as We have already exceeded the limits We
had proposed for ourselves, close for the present.
we hope finally, upon this subject.
