says the meeting was composed Of Ath-
esss, Abolitiouists, table iippers, strong
minded women--mustering,in all about

is right or wrong we do not pretend to
say. We cauuet think the man ac-

may be insane--a monomaniac--all

not where nor who they come from

read them, and come to any other con-
clusion if you can.
Speaking of the Convention, the

formed one of the audience arose and
announced the Poughkeepie Seer, as
blasphemer and traitor. We should
like to know how this gentleman
is implicated, that he should want to
take down his words, for publica-

RAILROADS.

The New York Express cries out "hoaor 20
,s> Railroads" for their grand achievement
an the Fourth of July in that city, of convey
ing so many thousands in their excursion
rains from the city in oil directions without a
single accident The great movement OF the
masses begun on Saturday. when, the Ex'
press says, probably never before IN one Gay
IA sucb numbers of human beings leave the
CITY. The trains from early morning TIL 'ne
last one at night were loaded fuil-yet no one
IS nr, nv accident on any of the railroads.
This il indeed remarkable, and well may the
Express cry out "honor to the Railroads.
Never before, from all accounts, did so many
people leave New York-never before were so
many constantly going out and coming in; for
rbey moved in something like constant streams;
vet the Railroads served them well ard carried
all the thousands safely. 10 no other way
could so many have moved in different direc.
lions at all; and had all that could 60 to rely
upon vehicles drawn by horses, it is not pos.
sible that such freedom from accident would
have prevailed.
With all the denunciations which we heap
on the Railroads, the deaths upon them in pro-
portion to the number of passengers are greatly
less than from transportation in stages and
carriages. Railroads mad begun to go ahead
a little too reeklessly of late--there; seemed to
be a rather too strong infusion of the spirit of
young America into them-like Phaton, they
were thinking too much about speed, and not
enough about safety. The consequence was
that there were several very serious and de.
structive accidents in rapid succession-'till
Railroads were brought suddenly up by the
fear of public opinion and the damages
awarded by the courts against them, and they
resolved to be more cautious. They are do
ing better now. There is decidedly less dan
ger of collisions and of running off draw
bridges than there was four months ago. But
take all the accidents into the account-and
contrast Railroads with other modes of trans
portation-compare the killed and wounded
and the cheepness, convenience and expedition,
and the result will be "honor to the Rail
roads,"
