TyrE N. ". CENTRAL RAILROAD.

Directors, We are lcaO-'tu ''"' VIZ, """ii ~.
with their eyes open, and not be able aiterward
TO allcre tina. they did not understand the issue.
In this view. we deem the misstatcmcnts and
bubbles Of the Regency organ in our City
worthy OF exposure and reiu,ation.
The UorM asserts that we desire to "subsi-
dizo great public improvement to the uses and
purposes of the Republican party" To this we
answer. that, if the other "great public i'm
proyements" in our State are so "subsidlzed,"
we seek what The World charges; otherwise not.
Here they are, all about us-the Erie, Hudson
River, Harlem Long Island, and other Railroads
managed by Boards in some OF which one party
has the majority: in others, the other: but who
has heard, in either case charges that they seek
to control the votes of their employts and the pol
itcs of the Statel Who ever heard this charged
on President Sloan Ga well-known Democra)
of the Hudson River, for examplcl Who has
not heard It charged on the Central, asmanaged
by Eras,us Corning, Dean Richmond y Co..
Where is the innocentl
Now we desire the Central TO be managed, so
far as politics are concerned, exactly as we pre-
sumo nearly all other Railroads in our State are
on the let alone principle. We do not kno"
what are the politics Of majority Of the Enc
Board for example; but We never heard tha'
they were even accused Of using the patronage
Of their respective Roads to elect Members o'
CONGRESS and control. or seek to CONTROL the
ORGANIZATION of tie Legislature. And we do
know that those Of the Central have done just
this Have all the other Roads in the State had
so many of their own officers and attorneys
elected to Congress, the Legislature, &c, dur
inr the last six or eight years, as this one

Mr. Vbbard was chosen to Congress in 80 by
Az majority. while the anti-Lincoln Electors
had 30 In the District True, We say; and the
Central furnished both these majOritlcs. j;
nominated Vibbard on purpose to use It's im'

against us. Some Of It's employees could be III
