THE CENTRAL RAILROAD,

comments uron the Central Railroad speaks
IN more conservative spirit and owns the
corn that he doesn't 'carc a fig whether the
proposed road is made or not" There is no
doubt OF the truth of that confession, S,r be-
You'd his "q"d pro quo" he cares but little
i,o,r any enterprise. Things Which concern
.'lin so little he should not asSail so rabillv.
and tvlncc so mnrh alac.itv in adding worm
wool to gall. Nothing but the miN,lc,d, of
ITS company, and that boastcd excellence
which the old road docs not possess. arc as
sailed by the friends of the Central Road, and
those who will defend the outrageous conduct
OF any corporation, would act in like manner
If interest melted them to it.
The old road is not aSsailcd from any sin
lister motives by the friends of tic new. but
winnie that Company NEEDLES with their pro-
.lect, they llayea perfect right to rcproach it.
Inc utility of the road is no. denied bv any.
and all who are moving in the paths of pro-

OF the country within the last few years: that

Meeting Baltimore and Philadelphia in
Tact, connecting the North and South, will
be scarcely competent 10 supply the demand
upon them for the transport of freight and
passengers. When those numerous iron ar
tcrics of trade, which branch out through
the fertile country Of the Great West are
spliccd on to the Baltimore & Ohio road.
and team their thousands of tons of produce
to. and merchandise from, the Atlantic
cities, what single road think you, can bear
the bur.hcn. Then why should any suppose
that the proprctors of the Central Road
would sacrifice their money with fallacous
hope of success founded on the downfall of
the old road! Then why should any sup
pose that capitalists will Withhold their
means 10 complete road which has every
| prospect, beth present and prospective. Of
being one OF the best paying roads in the
country! Those who take the narrow, con-
tractcd view of such project. are but the
blind leading the blind, or rather attempting.
