releasing tho tax was FRAUD UPON
THE PEOPLE,
The main argument made usc Vt by th,
friends of the Railroad, against striking
the infamous law from the Statute book
was that IL was contract which could rot
be avoided under the COtni,luuon u
Pennsylvania except by the consent o'
both parties TO a.
uf course the Rsilrcsd Company would

seen H. ,dyed and Efty thousand dollars which
ID had alched from the pockets Of the peo
ne, neither would it consent to pay "a
share Of taEes, now that it bad gotten rid o
pay ment.
Notwithstanding however, the Love-
House passed the bill to repeal the Las
enacted by their corrupt predecessors by
II vote Of 70 TO 20.
Thi. bill now goes before the Senate
ard il it passes that body, and receives
the signature OF the Governor, becomes {
law. Whether it will pass the Senate, il
somewhat doubtful Many of the mem
bers of that body voted for the origina
bill, and as they hold their seats for three
years, the People have not yet had nm op
portunity to purify it by electing homes
men.
Mr.. HALL was very active in his opposi

I'VE have ne time at present to speak
at length OF the nom, ,uation; suffice it to
sSy that we regard it IS one Of the best
that could possibly have been made, and

any other doz9n men in Erie county.
His nomination is alike fortunate and

conservative voters Of the district, should

mage tar also giving Il seven hundred and ftt,
thousand dollars, but one member, outside OF
Philadelphia was reVelected. Almost ev-
cry man of them went down before the
popular Indignation of the people whose
rights he had been induced or JrbsL to
vote away. This is the uncontradic.ed
and simple fact. The people declared in
tones that could not be mistaken. that the
releasing Of q RICH CORPORATION from tn G
payment Of tax which it was in JUS,
IICE aud HONOR bound to pay, was an
outrageous wrong upon them: that the
giving away, without the least equivalent,
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY

was nothing more nor less than ROBBERY.
That vas their verdict: Was it right?
Although popular opinion is sometimes
wrong, and occasionally visits with pun.
ishment those who have not merited it,
yet in ninety-nine cases out of the hun
dred, it is right. That It was right in this
case, we think no one who has read the
proceedings Of the Lower House Of this
year OF the Legislature on the bill for the
REPEAL OF the &C. passed at the previous
session, can for q moment doubt.
This Bill was presented by Mr.. Hop
kins, Of Washington county, and was
pretty thoroughly discussed. A commit
tee of investigation had been appointed
TO take testimony, and report whether
any undue or corrupt influences had been
made use Of by the Pennsylvania Railroad
to secure the passage Of the bill 10 release
them from the payment Of the
tax. This committee had not vet
formally reported to the Hosse, but it
had examined a number Of witnesses, and
