the opinion that these preliminary arrange

alliance between the Atlantic and Gres
Western and the Erie interests. But W
also believe that the English gentlemen

route, if they eau command the requisite mean
in England to do so. The impression lei
upon their minds, after a survey of tn
whole Erie question and the, influence
which defeated their efforts to idettify thi
interest with their own is that through eel

on the subject, ID the effect that the AtlEnti
and Great Western line, connecting wit
the Erie at Salamanca, has not been genel

of the Atlantic & Great Western any MOI
than to the Erie, it would take a wise hea
in Railroad and Transportation intrigue
and jobbing TO determine.
