Mr.. Stanton said the proceedings before
the Court draws in question the validity Of
the Act of Assembly, regulating the sale of
the Main Line. These works were constriic-
ted by the State IN piirsuspte of her system
of internal improvement under the control OF
the Board of Canal Commissioners. 1t is
natural that measure like this should create
diversity of opinion, affecting as it does s.
many private interests, local feelings, and
party expediency. But where such a mat
ter comes into a court of justice. its Judgment
should be stripped of all such feelings, no mat
ter what should be the private feelings eff tho
individual judges. This Act of Assembly is
no new measure Such sale has been agi-
tated and sanctioned by popular vote thirteen
years ago. and Acts of the Legislature under
different administrations The Act was duly
passed by the, Legislature and signed by the
Governor. Any exercise of judicial authori-
| ty in matter of this kind should be cautious
ly done, and particularly so on preliminary
motion for injunction. To give encourage
ment to This proceeding will keep the commu-
nifty ip an unsettled and agita.ed condition.

defeated before the Legislature viii rush to
