WE SEEN IT?-Not long since an article
entitled "Thc Beginning Of the End"
was published in these columns, in
which the way and means by which
the citizens OF Upton and vicinity
could secure to themselves the advan-
tages Of an early railroad connection
with the rest of the world were so plain
~ and practically set forth, and shown
to be SO snfs and feasible that it was
thought they could not fail Of general
acceptance. Indeed, they were accept
ed, and in the many talks which grew
out Of the excitement consequent upon
the announcement Of q new railroad
project, were almost universally decided
to he sound and practical. But the ac-
cepting and the acting upon plans for
the accomplishment of an enterprise are
very different things. The former was
declared to he 1.-The beginning Of the
end" of our languishing in want of
railroad. The question now is, shall it
for the want of being energetically acted
upon, be also the end Of the beginning:
1t is useless for us to again recount the
advantages that will accrue to individ-
uals and to the community from the
success of the enterprise. Every one
who thinks anything about it, knows
what aud how great they are. 1t is
useless to again give the details Of the
plan by which success might bc assured.
1t is simple and plain, and every one
knows it from alpha to omeya-has eau
vassed its merits, and decided in his own
mind their claims to consideration
What then can be done to revive and
rea"imate a project SO easy Of accom-
plishmcnt, so great in results, and yet,
through general letting alone, so nearly
dead and forgotten? The answer is
found in the old battle cry of reformers
and progressionists agitate.' The
public never gives moral or pecuniary
support to any reform or enterprise that
is not brought before it and kept before
it.; and for which its aid is not request
ed, solicited, urged, demanded. Doubly
is this true with regard to O railroad Ell
terprisc in this vicinity which has seen
SO many Of them make brilliant APP
pearance on its horizon, and then, in u
short time, ingloriously disappear for
ever, with positive loss to all who bad
given them material aid. That there is
no possible chance for any persons who
may sign the conditional notes asked
for in aid of the present project to lose
anything in case of its final failure is
known aud admitted by every one
nevertheless, we cannot expect those
who are, or who ought to be, interested,
to come up upon mere notification that
they have al opportunity SO to do, and
pledge liberal assistance in case Of its
completion. five have expected or do
expect this, We only have been and for
ever will be disappointed. Instead of
thus waiting for something to turn
up,' work must be done, meetings held,
personal influence exerted by those who
have it, specifically and perseveringly
in favor Of the object in view, aud sig
natures to notes requested, urged and
argued for, instead Of merely permitted.
When this kind of a railroad campaign
is well commenced, we shall surely have
seen THE beginning of the end."-
Without it, we have already seen the
end OF the beginning.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR MECHAN-
