CANAL ENLARGEMENT.

We have already pointed out the singular audacity
Of the falsehood recently circulated by The Herald and
its kindred prints in respect to the Erie Canal and the
eronery required to assert in the face Of the official
tables that the business Of the Canal diminishing
or could diminish By those tables we then showed
that the tunnsge annually carried by the Erie Canal
to tide -water-so immense in quantity as to seem in
capable farther increase-so far from diminishing is
necessarily increasing, and at most rapid ratethat it
had nearly qaadrupsd within the last ten years having
risen from 6G6 500 tuns in lS42 tO2 23 SD tuns in 1853
and that the forthcoming tables for 1853 would exhibit
a still further increase. We further stated that this
GLORIOUS sufficient TO load daily for the whole
season ofnavgaton train of railroad cars ten meslOng
it has since been stated by the State Engineer to be
fifteen miles longand that it must 90 on, swelling and
swelling from year to year with the inevitable growth
of the great interior from which it is derived. We
showed also how unmportant the inquiry whether
the railroads not carrying any part Of the
freight which the Canal might have carried thatthe
business Of the Canal itself was adequately and satisac
torily increasing At the same time we showed the at
ter inadequacy Of the railroads with all their moving
machinery to carry any considerable portion Of the
bulky cargoes now borne to market o. the Canal
We now proceed to show what small portion even
Of the existing cargOes these competing railroads DO in
fact carry They are the Erie Railroad and the Cen.
tral Railroad: and first Of the Erie Railroad. The
official report by that Company for the year ending
September 80 1853, states the gross amount received
by them for freight to be $ls53 l95--and thereupon
the Satanic Press sezes and parades thatmm much
diverted from the of the Erie Canal and by as
sumDg annual increase Of those railroad reghts ar
rived at the conclusion that the revenues of the Canal
must soon become wholly extinct Now what are the
facts and from what this 81 6s3 1873 de-
rived Considerable portion came from freights from
the Eastern Counties such as Rockland Orange, Sui-
van and Delaware, which have no access whatever to
the Eric Canal and another aud much larger portion
