We are not at all disappointed in the
result of the contract OF Union between
the Iillsborough and Cincinnati and Ma.
rietta and Cincinnati Railroad companies
We have always contended that such a
contract, while it would result in great
advantage to our rival, could only effect
our ruin
Only a few months ago, We had four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars OF bone
fde cash stock; we had the right of way
into Cincinnati, estimated by the officers
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway to be
worth half a million Of dollars; we had
our unrestricted franchises east, with the
right TO terminate on the Ohio river as
would be most conducive to our interests;
we had contract with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company, worth a million
of dollars every ten years; we had the
only great east and west through line from
the Atlantic to st. Louis: Now, zoe hare
nothing! At that time our stock was
higher in the market than that Of our RI
val; our credit was better, our prospects
hundrd per cent. more ilattering. Eve.
ry body saw this,-lhe Marietta compa.
ny, by their action and policy, aCknowl-
edged it; and it was necessary that that
company should avail itself OF the basis
of our credit, tic our hands, and destroy
as as rival, or itself explode, Without
the contract Of Union, it could not have
lasted until this time; with the contract,
and supple tools to aid it--tOOiS 10 it,
traitOrS to us, it can flourish, and we must
cease TO exist.

baseiy, wickedly and wiliully betrayed
our high .aNSltion, our advantages, our
prospects credit. our honor, all are
gone. T. RIests of llillSborough, of
Highland q of all the counties, and
all the peopI6~6n the line east,--of the
stockholders and contractors, have been
shameuIly ritered away. We do not
blame the Marietta company,--their in.
terests have ever been in conflict with
ours--lhey have ever been our enemy,
aud have done only what was natural
We blame only those who, from position
and the trust reposed in them, Shou have

ours. Unfortunate Ilillsborough-vIctlm
OF misplaced confdenc, OF moral delin,

Let the unholy contract, the result Of
fraud, corruption and treason, be broken
up. Let the people of !lIIlsborough, of
the county and all along the line, unite at
once to throw off this burning disgrace.
Let subscriptions be at once taken to car

motto be adopted, millions Tor defence,

We hope the proper steps will be at once
