The recent report Of the New York Commissioners
Of Emigration has given publicity TO erroneous and
preiudiesl statements concerning the Pennsylvania
Rsil,oad Company, which should not be suffered to
remain without notice AID correction.
IL aed that the system of booking emigrant psa-
.eneers in Europe was adopted by the New York roads
me MEASURE of selfdef-nse; whereas the facts sho y
ths. ,he New-York Central Road commenced the sys-
tenn abe ut eleven yea since, with Msssrs. Wolf and
Rchnuer &c their agents, DO in this country aud IN
Europe A similar arrangement WAS shortly after
wld entered into by the Ne@-Yoik and Ehe Railroad
Company with Messrs Wed and Mahy. The cHm,
petcn thus create by the NswYork routes compelled
ibe Penpsy lvanis R4rOsd Company, in the Spring OF
1855 10 adopt the same system.
AS an argument COR the exclusive privileges fur
nisbed the New York Roads, il is asserted in the Com
mifEoDers' report th,t the Pennsylvania Railroad
"psssed through neighboring t.rrl5ory, and mas no
