DeT Democrat and Sentinel To beguile the time
and reieye myself for few moments of the rough
and exdting incidents of Rail Road life have taken
helibTty OF writing letter, and asking place for
it in ypur valuable paper Ii ! succeed in this my
first eiort just and impair tial chronicler Of the
events which transpire in the vicinity Of this
:. Hill viii feel that 1 far than rewar-
ded ft any trouble, or anxiety of the brain which
she = Dor may cost me.
IN the first place I would say thatthe Tunnel and
Sections Of the Pennsyl gania Rail Road under the
mnlsdiate control Of fhos. Seabrook, Esq, and his
GENT emanly and accomplished assistant, Mr.. Rely
re tapidly approaching completion. The activity
sndzeal which these gentlemen at all times evince
il Fe management Of 50 vast an amount Of labor
a; las been required on their branch Of this i'm
Trdement, entities them to more commendatiou
thai ! am competent to bestow. So rapidly has
taework progressed since they placed in con
tfOOf it, 1t is confidently expected, that IN four
moths, NJ the fur Ithest, the entire road will be I'm
islh 10 each end of the Tunnel. / should here
sal that Mr.. Thos. Rutter. of the firm of j. Rutter
& bn, who has the contract OF the Tunnel, is also
uOtd for hIs perseverance and indefgtigGble indus
trl think the cOmpang is extremely fortunate in
e2ring TO themselves the services of contractor
Of sch experience and industry. Mr.. RS govern
iu9notto, il the management Of his work, Is hon
est industry and TEMPERANCE bat, uufortU-
naty for him and many Of the men in his en-
plot he latter portion OF his motto cannot be
ekke into consideration the fact, that from sirtg
10 srenty houses, or rather shanties, are engaged
in tealing out TO their fellow men, n beverage
Uibh destroys their souls intellect and body. ]
c.TEot see the propricty Of keeping up a strong
PoIic force fer the purpose CT keeping down riot
auJolOodshed. and then tOcrating such vast
nulber Of unlicensed rum shops. In addition to the
nuVber Of dram shops, we have some four OF five
iicesed Hotels, besides some eighteen or twenty
stoFs which are engaged III the sale Of liquor by
theluart Out of the number Of stores only fre can
be sid not to be engI gad in this most abOminablc
trafc and to their lasting credit be il SAID, Messrs
Motehead. Burns & Co, under the management
of Gay, and John B. ALcWilliams & &c. the
two.
10 not wish to be understood rs duplicating
Cap Gardener who is the chief Of the Police. or
anybf his geutlemauly assistants, in any direlic-
tionof duty in reference to these dram shops, for
theJ certainly DO take deep interest in seeing the
law!of the State, and the regulations of the road
rigely enforced. But ! do say that the fault lies
SOM place, and | think that if the Constable Of
AHghany Township, in this county, would make
it ha duty to point the offenders out and return
theulto the GrandrJury at the hext Court Of Quar-
ter Ses5ions that abundant amount Of evidence
can be Produced to convict them all.
Someof the leading members Of our party tie
Hill arr making strong efforts TO greatly increase
the yot for Ticket in this County at the ensu-
ing election. If our friend Collins and the entire
TICKE, finds no more opposition in LITTLE CAM
BRIA thau IS to be found in this place, they viii
have Uneasy and unparalleled victory So unan-
imous are we here for the cherished principles Of
Democrcy, that scare a federalist is 10 be found
Remember, we promise and Will take nothing less
than cyE HUNDRED Of an increased vote, for the
wholdTicket, without a scratch in Alieghany town
ship. Yours, SC,
