suNBURY & ERIE RAILROAD.

Oor neighbor Of the Gazette takes excep-
tions to the sale OF the State canals TO the
Sunbury & Erie Railroad Company. The
reasons assigned are that the price is too
iow--that the Company is too poor to pay
and that il would he more Of present than
q sale"
The truth is. the canals are not worth, 10
the Commonwealth, one dollar, and il the
sunbury 4 Erie Company is poor it is still
stronger reason that they should not pay
more for the canals than they arc worth.
There ore. however, other reasons than
those given by the Gazette, but the opponents
OF tho sale don't ike to make them public.
The true reason is that great many hungry
eiice holders will have TO let 60 tho public
test il they are sold. The Gazette talks
about the revenues Of the canals, but says
nothing OF the expenses. Opposition to tue
interests Of SO important work as the SUM-
bury 6 Eric road is, perhaps, surprising, and
90 our neighbors have been surprised by seve-
ral articles in our paper lately, We hope they
will not wonder il We are surprised TO find
them advocating the interests Of number
Of huugry e1pectants, living of Of the public,
instead Of .be interests of great Railroad
thoroughfare that will enhance the value OF
o largo section Of our State to o greater
extent than the entire worth OF the canals.
