Tn, UorM seem. 10 deny hat The power ard
patronage of the Central Railroad have been
used to build up the .Scymourlc Democracy OIL
our State and pull down It's adycrsaricS! Now,
we can admire brass that is not too brassy, but
we appeal 10 all the intelligent politicians Of our
State to confirm our assertion that tho inter
ference of the Central Railroad in our recent
Elections is rs notorious as the conversion Of
TIE Uorld from an independent, no-pariy, anti
slavery Extension journal to its present " base
uses" If any thing that it is any ones interest
10 dispute or obscure can be certainly known,
it il so known that the managers of the Cen
trail Railroad, by vigorous employment of the
patronage Of that concern, elected their Super
Iintcndent, Chauncey Vibbard, over Simon II.
Mix, to Congress from the Schenectady Dis.
trict in 1860, oustcd Roscoe Conkling in 1867
from the representation of the decidedly Re
publican County Of Oneida, and elected thci.
Attorney, Francis Herman in his stead, tied ouI
last Assembly through their control of one Of
the members always ill then u Republican,
from Albany County, ard carried the County
Of Erie against the Unionists Mt the recent State
Election. These are palpablc results effected
10y the use Of that patronage, not to speak OF
the immense majoritieS rolled up for their Pre-
sidcnt. Corning, and their Counselor, Pruyn, in
the Albany Congress and Senate Districts at
the four or five last Elections. The Regency
majority in Albany COUNT VIGOROUSLY has
been at least one thousand higher for several
years pas, than it would have been had not de-
yotion to Sham Democracy been there under
stood TO 30 commentator to the favor AID
patronage of the Central Railroad.
Other Roads have Democratic manageable
Hudson River for insancc-~but We are not
aware that those managers attempt to dictate
the politics Of the Counties they traverse. or
the cartmen, &c, they employ. In our
whole State, we know 10 Road, the Central
excepted which habtually aud deierminedly
NEEDLES in politics. The treasury Of this Road
must he at least One Million Dollars poorer
to-day than If its managers had never under
taken 10 run the politics of the State upon their
rails. Do the stockholders choose 20 have their
corporate funds used for that purpose If they
do, they will reclect Mcssrs. Corning, Dean
Richmond & Co. Directors, and let them 60 on
as hitherto. II they choose TO persist in this
warfare on the Unionis,s Of our State, we
shall have TO defend Ourselves to the best Of our
ability. But We would rather avoid the con-
lic,, and trust the stockholders viii not force
il upon Us. All we ak of them ID that they
take off the heavy hand Of their managers and
lo, the State govern itself.
