The Railroad Difficulty at Erie.

The editor of the Railroad Record, in
speaking Of the late disgracefuI proceedings
on the part Of the citizens of Erie, Pa. in
burning bridges. &C., asks the following
question; VIZ
"Where is the Governor of the State of
Pcnnsy ylvania% Why was he not prepared
for this emergency which he could not but
have known wut!d oecur?"
Why, sir, he is giving aid and comfort to
those lawless rioters. He has written to the
citizens of that place. informing them that
if his august presence should te found
necessary, he will lie on hands to rii them.
Is not this disgraceful position for the Gov
ernor oil such state as Pennsylvania 20
place himself in? A man who is placed in
the responsible position that Governor Big
Ter is, who aids in any manner, such set oi
mobbish outlaws, as the citizens Of Erie are
now showing themselves to be, sh, uld be
whired from the position that he occupies,
and stigmatized throughout the length and
breath Of the land for his outrag eous course
Of procedure. .... -... H
We trust that the approaching Democrat
ic Convention of that State, will give him
his walking papers, and show him that the
peaceable Democracy Of that State do not
favor him or his unlawful and riotous pro.
ceedings. 1t is a pity that the great State
of Pennsylvania should be disgyaced by
having such man as William Biser otcu-
pying the responsible position Of Governor
thereof .s
We are glad to learn since writing the a.
bove, that Judge Irwin OF the u 5. Court
at Pittsburgh, has granted an injunction a.
gainst the Mayor and citizens of Erie, to
prevent them from destroying the track ol
the L. & N. E. railroad.
TIE Plain Dealer says-"The company
will, in Pursuance, proceed to change the
guage throu out, rebuild the bridges and
run the regular trains"
OF course, from the bad state of feeling
at Erie, the line will need careful watching
to guard against secret depredations.

JANUARY 10Th, 1858.


The Convention me, pursuant 10 adjourn
,nent.
On motion, A. D. Wright, Esq. Of Perrys-
burg, was called TO the chair.
Mr.. Mackenzie, from the committee on
resolutions. presented the following, which
we're unanimously adopted:
ResoIped, That facilities for familiar
knowledge Of the laws is the right OF tree
people. and that their publication in the
several newspapers OF the State brings m
early acquaintance with their provisions
home to every citizen. secures their lmme'
diate and general efficiency. and while it
aids the Press, is wide spread public
benefit, and finds, as it deserves. the ap-
prob alton Of the citizens OF the State. JOS
Resolped, That at this time, when essen
,al changes are making in our whole sys.
tenn of Laws. it is narrow and illlberal
economy to withhold from the People the
earliest information of the enactments, so
material TO every interest and relation OF
the citizen, by repeating the act tor the
publication ofthe Laws in the newspapers
Of the State, or muilaing its efficacy by
devolving its execution and carrying ou'
upon secondary authority.
Reso7red, That nevertheless. we would
prefer an avowed repeal of the Law to the
reduction Of the price for publication Sc
low as to effec,uate its repeal by indrec
ton, by providing an utterly inadequate
remuneration. We ask bold. open, and
manly action at the hands Of the Members
of the Legislature, the performance OF thel
rightfnl duty 10 their constituents, and no
evasion.
Resolred, That the General Assembly
after the exercise of q proper llberalliy IL
themselves, and TO the State and Judicia
. officers, would scarcely act with the con
sistency proper to enlightened Statesman
ship in discovering rigid economy onl!
in denying information to the people.
, Reso1red, That no change in relation
, to the publication of the Laws is demand
ed by the sentiments Of the People OF tn
State; that no Interference with the Law
necessary at this time; and that no tru
friend or supporter Of the new Constitution
, will seek to prevent correct knowledg
of its working, by Withholding knowleds
Y of the laws made under its provisions iron
. the widest circulation.
