The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-03-10

ST. Nicholas compact between the four great routes
to the West has been broken up, and there will,
doubt, now be active competition for the traffic
between the two sections of country, and lower
prices for the business which pays but little if
any profit. Mr.. Moran, being satisfied that the
agreements made between the roads were being
daily violated sent written notice yesterday to
Messrs Garrett, Thompson and Corning that he no
longer considered himself bound by the arrange
ment. Considering that this happy family have
been anything but harmonious during the short life
of their Connection it is perhaps best that the dis
severance of the ties should take place. and each
President manage his own road. Each route will
then do such business its natural advantages en-
title it TO- and SHALL at least, escape repetition
of the dsgracefu! which occurred at the
Washington conference. The Erie Road will have
advantage over its competitors in the coming
competition. 1t has but little comparatively to
paw from its earnings, excepting working expenses,
while the other roads have large amounts to dis
burse for interest and dividends The Erie has
but little to lose, while the other roads have large
stake in the contest.-Ne'o York Tribune, March
