The Franklin and warren Egaii Road
--fllc Question Settled.
1t will be gratifying to a large number of our
readers to learn that the construction of the Frank
lin and Warren Rail Road is no longer debatea-
BILE question, but, thanks to the ndefatigabie la
bors of MARVIN KENT. Esq, President of the
Company, and those associated with him, it is now
matter of certainty.
This great thoroughfare commencing 1T Olean,
on the New York and Erie Road, in the State of
New York, and terminating at Crestlinc, the point
at which the Pennsylvania and Ohio Road crosses
the Cleveland and Columbus road in this State,
st. Louis and New York city. The importance
of such road will be seen at a glance, bringing
the entire West in immediate connection with the
Eastern cities, it opens a channel by which the
vast resources of the Western country may be II
once developed and its surplus produce transport
ed to an Eastern market. But the day when the
advantages and disadvantages Of rail road enter
prise wene discussed has gone by, their necessity
in this fast age, is admitted and their Importance
questioned by no one. The avidity, with which
Eastern capitalists seize this enterprise. is suf-
fcient proof that the investment of stock in this
Road is not deemeds>at least, unpoftable.
Too much credit cannot be given to MARVIN
KENT, Esq, and those who took an active part in
securing the adoption fthis route by his and their
able management, and active industry they have
notonly procured the erclusioeright ofway through
Pennsylvania, but have obtained the "material
aid'' to construct the entire work. preliminary
survey has already been made, and within few
days corps of Engineers will be on the line ocat-
ing the road, which will be put under contract, or
at least part of it Immediately. The first por-
tion which will be letwill, perhaps, be from War
aen to franklin, at least this will be point at
which the work will be commenced.
In consideration of the adoption of this route.
tho citizens of franklin and vicinity, met together
at the village of Franklin, on Friday evening, to
express their satisfaction at the favorable aspect
produced by securing the road. The meeting was
B addressed by j. w. TYLER, Esq, and DIR. THos
EARLE MIR. TYLER briefly alluded to the object
of the meeting, and concluded by proposing three
cheers for the President and Directors of the road
which was responded to in manner that did credit
to the occasion. DR.. EARLE being called for
