vision vanihes away and the papabe presence only

The following letter, published in the Newark Daily
Advertiser gives particular of the dis
turbance at Erie, (Pa) of which we have before had
telegraph notice:
ERIE (PA) NOVEMBER o. 1853
The greatest excitement prevails here dispute of
long standing has existed between the Corporation Erie
and the Erie and Northeast Railroad Company, lake
Shore road occasoned by the occupancy Of said COM
pany of certain streets within the Corporation for the
passage OF their cars, &C. The dispute ran high; all
sorts OF threats made by both parties and when
length the railroad company resolved to change the gauge
of their track to conform with the Buffalo and State
Line Road east, and the Cleveland and Erie west of it.
they notified by the city authorities that unless they
conormed to certain stpuations the company should not
proceed with their work The company relying on their
charter refused to be dictated to by the city, and yese
day set down for the commencement of the work
About hundred and fifty workmen headed by the Off
GERS and engineers of the company proceeded the spot
where the work was to commence Here they were met
by the authorities and citizens of Erie backed by the
whole military force of the city, fully equipped and
ed determined that, should the company proceed
they would at demosh the bridges and tear up the
whole track, insisting that the highways and tho
roughfares within the Corporation the city had authority
above the Legislature and that they determined
even at the swords point to maintain it. And on this
occasion they in the highest degree successu for
instead of proceeding with the work changing the track
the company and their men, seeing the warm reception
they were likely to with, found it convenient to
" make tracks for other parts and not likely soon
to return.
1t is the general impression that the company would be
wise 10 make peace with the inhabitants and authorities
OF the city for although city may have the power
to dictate to company what shall be the width of their
track, it is not doubted they have the right to say how
that track shall be used for instance to regulate the
speed of the cars and prevent the use of locomotives
through their streets, sc.
