federaes have not been able 10 obtain tie means re
CURED TO make al the feeders for their road i1r csP'
tsIsts have been indispOsed to trust them Iaeil
whole course regarded false and fraudulent, aud
their representations as abouBdng il inPOssure
and the consequence il that their bonds are always
loS in price and Little in demand Could it BE-
otherwise. with Company whose president finds him
SELF reduced TO the necessity Of peDning such series
Of false statements as that 70 which we now call the
attention Of Our readers
The confederates, we are told, are willing sud snx
ious TO encourage and assist in the sking Of roads
in the SOutb-W eseru Counties, II would seem now
to be considered the established policy Of the State
that they should give their aid to every railroad.
The nan who wrote this knew it TO be most
impudent falsehOod. lie knew that he and his con-
federates have never permitted the construction Of
roads except where they could obtain entire control
of them and that the present state Of things is that
established polio" which they have labored to bring
about. Throughout the whole country of which he
speaks, his and their domination is regarded by every
honest man o. which he would gladly rid
himself if be could
Various roads are we are told anxiously await
ing and sol ,tng the cooperation and assistance of
these c0nfederates. What roads Those only that
to be used as feeders for their monopoly indie
pendent roads are waiting only for permission TO be
made. We beg our readers to admire with the hu-
initiating spectacle presented by this State whose peo
pie find Themselves reduced to the necessity of travel
ing wsgOn-roads until this letter writer and his
friends shall be ready to afford their cooperation and
assistance" for the making of railroads only to be az
forded condition OF selling themselves their child
rem and their childrens children, to slavery under
Stockton Stevens & Co and their successors. Truly
when such proposition can be for a moment enter
tanned it is time that the of the State should be
changed. The New-Jersey of olden time has passed
away, and in its place we have the petty kingdom of
Camden End Amboy with Robert F. Stockton for its
autocratic sovereign, making laws by the aid of bis
" breeches pocket"
The Company We are here told, have freely and
cordially responded 10 the claims upon them and
now anxious to satisfy the inst expectation of
the people Francis Joseph of Austria is, we doubt
not equally anxious to satisfy the just expectations of
the people of Hungary by giving them military instead
of civil government The people of NewJersey wish to
be free TO make roads for themselves the confederates
desire TO maintain and strengthen their monopoly and
to enlarge their farm that they may fill their pockets at
the expense ofther fellow citizens and thus satisfy their
own " just expectations" How low must New-Jersey
have falles when body of men so unprncipled
these railroad managers dare to talk of their daTey
to satisfy the Just expectations of their fellow cit
izens in the important matter Of roads by means of
which to 60 TO market
Anxious the cOnfederates are to grasp the abso-
lutte control of the State, they find the demands their
poor credit and upon their resources too great to
be met under existing circumstances; and to enable
them to carry out their benevolent views, they need
some additional legislation What that legislation
is to be- it would be difficult for reader not already in
the secret 70 guess Were the remedy proposed to be
suggested in any other than this monopoly ridden
State it would as we have already said, be received
with shouts of laughter Ii is other, we beg to as
sure our readers than further sale by the members of
the Legislature Of all the rights of the people TO self
government in the important matter of road-making
for period Of ceny ydrs from tie year eighteen hundred

and happiness of the people of that unfortunate State

which their fellow citizens have groaned for twenty

teen years not sufficient TO afford them means for
carrying out their views of becoming sole and exclus

farm extended 1889, thiryfour years hence 1t is
