We mav be told that this is the business Of Jer-

Camden and Amboy Companies depend for their life on
the intercourse with New-York-they require termi-
nui here for their rOad-a ferry to carry over their
passeneers-they own property in Philadelphia and
their road therefore neither begins nor ends in New

alone. is an argument which does credit to those
who urge It.
In 1882 the law authorizing the Institution of this
railroad and not allowing in terms any other company
TO construct railroads or compete in business was
passed Section % Of the same law declares that at
the expiration of thirty years the Legislature may
appraisement of the said roads and the ap
pendsges thereof to be made by six persons three OF
whom shall be appointed by the Chief Justice, &c
And tbereupon the State shall have the privilege OF
three years of taking the said road, upon payment
within one year after electng to take the road. In
1881 the charter of the Delaware and Rsritan Canal
Company was extended from thirty TO fifty years. In
1882 the Companies required to divide the whole
of their actual net profits retaining only sum not to
exceed 100000, to meet unexpected damages to the
roads this provision eyaded by the purchase OF
real estate for their In 1874 the Contribution OF
the State of New-Jersey altered to suit the views
of the MonOpolststhat s to prevent the State from
buying the road at the expiration OF thirty years 1t
was declared, Sec. VI, Art. 3:

The roads and canals are, however, separate works,
and the phrase some single object or work cannot
be made to apply tkem-nOr to the other properties
Of the bloated Corporation
The monopoly is opposed to Article 4, Sect. 2 Of
the Constitution of the United States, which says
The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the
privileges and nmunities of the several States.
The tax which the State of New-Jersey imposes on
travellers, making herself blackmail partner to the
monopoly is opposed utterly to the Constitution Of the
United States-for Art I. Sect, 9, declares:
"No preference shall be given BY any regulation or
oomce OF revenue TO the ports OF one oae oer moe

Tie Monopoly Company have thus far, true to the
odous privileges Of their charter prevented all COM
rettors from entering upon the great national high
way of NewJersay They first contested the right of
the Philadelphia and Trenton Company to lay rails on
a road from Trenton to New Brunswick subsequent

some Company; and ultimately r. F Stockton, r. L.
shares of tie same Company, and so controlled it,
The next piece OF fnanceTng the purchase OF the
PHILADELPHIA ferries and so the triumph of the Rail
way Kings was completed. The lesser companies Of
NewJersey are now swallowed up by this colossal
power the Legislature is lobbied into obedience the
Press more or less bought up the Senate of the Uni
ted States suborned TO the amount Of the States vote
therein; the power of the present Democratic Admin
istration invoked and obtained for the Offices in New
jersey in their gift, we'll places in the NewYOrk
Custom House the national right Of way-commonly
known as the Air Line-has been thrust out Of the
Legislature by the creatures Of the Monopoly and
scheme Of composite and chronic tyranny and fraud
tablished, disgraceful to the nation and the age
The meanest of oil blacknai is levied on this road
against travellers from other States Through passen-
gers are required to pay 33 cents mile for the first
class; secondclass 26O cents; third, 1866 while the
waypasseneers or, in other words the people of New
jersey only average Leg mile. With this petty bride
they suffer themselves to be bought Ike serfs and,
willie they seek, in such beggary manner to get the
advantage Of their neghbors they find their State at a.
most stand STILL owing 10 their completely with their
railway masters.
The approaching election on the second Tuesday OF
this month allow tie people the remedy for these
evils and chance to reenter the paths Of honor and
profit ticket has been formed with that view. An
eligible man appears as candidate for Governor. Let
