When We we're fret eat 81 from mar
ko, b The action u the Troy q Boston
Company the people q Troy evidently
thought that our only relief was TO sub
nit TO the terms Of that corporation,
and apparently were not little pleas
"a ii the prospect As weeks passed
and our people took action quite unlike
the expected submission, they were
very confident that al efforts looking
towards relief from our dependence on
Troy and Us corporation, would prove
futile They FIRST relied upon our ina
biiity TO obtain the extra session and
special legislation necessary 70 immedi-
ate action, Their predictions were fall
sifed By the call Of an extra session by
the Governor, the passage Of the
required acts by the Legislature with
out dissenting voice, and the approx
al and encouragement Of the entire
State. They then contended that the
towns could not be persuaded to take
advantage Of the law which the action
Of the State had given them. The last
few weeks have driven them from that
position, and what hope they now rely
upon, we are not informed But, as
al the opinions TO which their wishes
have given being thus far, have been ex-
plOded, we trust they now have a
more modest appreciation Of their pow
Ell Of foresight in this matter
Now that the merchants of Troy
must he satisfied that road is to be
built which will at least deprive them Of
a portion Of their business, it may be
some consolation for them to know that
they are entirely indebted for that re-
suit to the conduct OF the Troy and
Boston Company. If the Troy & Bos-
ton Company had made a connection
with the Bennington & Rutland Rail
road two months ago, not single town
on the line Of that road could have
been carried for the Harlem project.
The people Of Troy have been weak E.
nough to let their interests suffer in tile
hands Of men whose only object was
the qualification Of their personal ami
mosities.
The interests Of the business men Of
Troy are receiving continued injury
from the action Of the Troy & Boston
Company Every day the connection
is broken the tradeof the Western Yer
mont Valley is becoming fixed in new
channels, and the longer that break is
continued the smaller will be the pro-
portion Of it which will find its way to
Troy when the connection is resumed.
If the Troy 4 Boston Company persist
in their present course much longer,
the people Of this section will be justi-
fed in considering the citizens of Troy
partly responsible for no company
would continue long in course so I'M
paralleled without some encouragement
from the popular voice With the state
Of feeling engend red by such consid
Grafton, tits not likely that our business
men viii take any particular pains TO
turn back TO the city Of Troy the bust
ness which its people had suffered to
be driven away without any effort to
preventit Thus the action q the Troy
q Boston Company has resulted,
and as long as continued will result, in
serious detriment to the business pros
periiy Of Troy. II the merchants Of
that city think they have no other in
terests to serve than those which are
agreeable to the enraged officers Of the
Troy & Boston Company, they are pur-
suing the proper course and the peo-
pie q this section, with prospect Of
through line 70 New York, can afford to
rest content.
