In Developments which must ultimately prove of
great advantage to the people Of the State, and
to the whole public.
New roads will enrich the farmers of the State,
by opening to them the markets of New-York and
Philadelphia; while from tho fertile garden lands
of New-Jersey these cities can be supplied with
vegetables and fruits in greater abundance and 1t
less prices than at present. Our business aud
travelling communities will also be greatly benefited
by the stimulating effect of two rival interests,
which, as each claims an ability to earn dividends
from their local traffic, will be able to look upon
the through travel as az addition only to be gained
by concessions in fare, and CREATE speed. Indeed,
one of the parties interested in through railroad
route, under one management, has already sgni-
fed its willingness to carry passengers at about
0nethird less than the present fare and to occupy
but about three hours in the transit.
The developments referred to as having been
made through the action of the last Legislature,
are seen in the diminished respect paid to exclu-
siye grants, and in the disposition on the part Of
the Courts to set these grants aside evnced in the
recent decisions by the Chancellor. Let these
decisions be fully established as the law, and
carried ont in practice, and prosperity and pro.
eress must become the Distinguishing features OF
NeU-Jersey.
