choice of Senators by the Legislature, yet
the high confidential relation which a
Pennsylvania President ought to sustain
towards q Pennsylvania Senator at the
present moment induces me to say q few
words to you as a valued friend on the
pending Senatorial election. / learn that
doubts have been expressed as to my pre-
ference among the candidates, and though
my opinion may be entitled to little
weight, 1 do not desire to be placed in an
equivocal position on this or any other
subject. When asked, l always said
preferred Col. Forney, and l would es-
TEEN it friendly act toward myself for
any person in or out of the Legislature
to support him. At the same time de-
sire to express my warm personal and po-
litical regard for Messrs. Robbins, Foster,
Buckalew and Wright From the course
pursued by Mr.. Brodhead for some years
past, confidential relations between him
and myself have ceased.
l have thus presented to you my views,
so that, if you should deem it necessary,
you may speak my sentiments to such
persons as may consider them of value.

At the last session Of the Legislature very liberal
charter vas granted to a Company designated as
above, and Commissioners to solicit subscriptions to
the capital stock were regularly selected. At this
point the work stopped and little or nothing further
was accomplished. We presume the late protracted
and fatal epidemic was the principal cause Of the de.
lay. Indeed, we almost feared at one time that the
enterprise had been abandoned. Hence it is with
great pleasure we announce that the Commissioners
are moving again. and that they intend to labor ener
geticaly to secure success. The Commissioners held
meeting on Saturday evening last, and will, we I'm.
derstand hold another meeting tomorrow evening
we trust they will push the matter to successful
termination as rapidly as practicable.
The great progress the Fourth District has already
made and the costlyimproYements that are going IN
almost everywhere within its limits render Il highly
desirable, we may say without exaggeration, ipds.

hand to this much needed enterprise. For the want
of an adequate supply Of water, they are liable t.
lose more in single night than would suffice to ena
