like to see catholic spirit displayed in regard
to railroads The more we have the better.
They diffuse wealth and prosperity along their
pathway. We would like to see dozen CEN
treing in our town. We would like to see them
branching out to every point of the compass,
bearing on their trains the fruits of our glorious
soil, and our inexhaustible mines, and bringing
back all kinds of merchandise from the reno
test parts of the Union. The more railroads
we have the more capital will flow in-the more
population will be introduced-the more man
ufactories will spring up-the more schools ano
pulpits will bespangle our country-the more
new enterprises will be set on foot--the more
good houses will be built--the more orchards
and vineyards will be planted out--the more
