not now speak of the blunder and the reproof

ever, that nothing growing out of this, or
other matters, will impare the seal OF any one
for success of republican principles, and an
earnest desire to cooperate with each other,

tertaining special concern as to the person

petuating in national administration the gem

The Wing says the extent of the local bust
ne IS on the European & North American
Rail way, between Bangor and Mattawam-
keag, 50 miles, is surprising. Thirteen loco
motives, two hundred and sixty freight cars,
four baggage, and thirteen passenger cars are
in constant use on this limited portion of the
road, and rapid is the increase in way
business that the addition of % cars per
month built at the T.. &. n. A. II. shops in
Oldtown, is insufficient to keep pace with it,
while locomotives, freight and passenger cars
are continually being built elsewhere to sup
ply the needs of the way business. Prepara-
tons are also being made for the large
through business which will ensue at once on
the completion of the road in September.
Some very elegant passenger coaches are be-
ing constructed, and before long the luxuri-
GUS Pullman cars will run through to Halifax.
The road has not yet been in operation two
years to Mattawamkeag, yet in the first year
its business was greater than that of the
seventh year of the Portland, Saco, & Ports
mouth Railroad. The latter was the only
railroad then connecting Maine with the rest
sof the United States. Disinterested parties,
well qualified to judge, say that the E. & N.
A. Railway, will be, beyond question, the
best paying road in the State. Its present
business is large, and its certainty of large
additions from various great sources, makes
this obvious. Its completion will be hailed
with joy by hundreds of thousands of people
whom it directly benefits.
