TOLEDO RAILROAD.

Our readers must not conclude that
all the projected railroads from here to
the northwest are dead or sleeping.
The managers of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad are pushing things
right along without making much fuss
about it. According to the latest adj
vices the engineers, who began al
Martins Ferry about six weeks ago
have been hard at work in season and
out, and are now in the neighborhood
of Sandusky and will probably reach
Toledo during this or the first
of next week. The stock has
been pretty effectually worked up along
the line, and the managers have adj
vices from the contractors that they are
ready to commence the work within
ten days under the conditions OF thu
contract Are our people ready to vote
the amount OF subscription which We
have held out to the world we are
willing to give to a road when it has
become reasonably certain that by sc
doing we can get the long talked Of and
desired road? Wheeling now has it in
her power to secure this road, and We
hope that she will moi let this, perhaps
the last, opportunity escape.

people must laugh as we'll as legislste,
and these were but venial imperfectlons.
On the motion of Mr.. Campbell, Of
Brooke, the Convention adjourned sine
die, and some forty members Of the
body passed directly from the Conven-
ton to the steamer Mountain Boy,
which was lying in the river, inpatient
ly awaiting their arrival. Her wheel
began soon to move, and amidst the
cheering and waving of handkerchief
exchanged between the members on
board and those on shore she moved
from the wharf to pursue her accus-
toned trip down the Kanawba river:
have been thus particular IN giving
to you this sketch OF the closing hour
of the Convention, for | regard this as
memorable day in the history Of West
Virginia. The Constitution which they
have agreed upon is, in my opinion, a
document of grea. merit. and cannot
fail to receive the appreciation Of the
people of the State. 1t is work which
has cost much laoor, and manifests in
all its feanures Inquestionable states
manshir and political experience: 1t is
destined for msny years to be the Or
gapic law of this State, and in its
admirable arrangement and wise provl-
sious will form a model by which many
future State Constitutions may profit.

Democracy I'm New York.

At the meeting OF the New York
Democratic State Central Committee at
Albany, on the llth instant, Governor
Seymour and other Democrats, not
members OF the committee, attended.
The World special dispatch saws:
The proceedings were entirely har,
monious. During the discussion OF
political prospects the approaching
Convention at Cincinnati was alluded
10. The Republican movement in favor
of the Convention was regarded as i'm
portant, and it was agreed that nothing
ought to be done by the Democrats to
interfere with it. Governor Seymour
favored q watch and wait policy for the
Democracy pending the issue. The
,lesire for an eventual union Of all ele.
ments opposed TO the present admins
tration was generally expressed; also,
the belief that the Democratic masses
Of the State were in favor OF such a
coalition on equitable, patriotic terms.
Referring to the Liberal Republican
movement, the World says editorially;
80 far as we have any proposes
sions they are in favor Of this move
ment, but we must decline to commit
ourselves either 20 it or against it until
it reaches further stage OF develop
ment and we have better data for esti-
mating the boldness, strength and vigor
with which it is to be prosecuted. From
the beginning we have had no doubt OF
its complete success, if its leaders
should show no infrmity of purpose
and no lack of political courage"

THE RAILROAD BRIDGE.

The mercantile interests OF this city
are inseparable from and are largely
dependent upon the manufacturing In
terests. Whatever builds up the latter
will likewise benefit the former, and
whatever binders the prosperity OF the
manufacturers will also prove detr'-
mental TO the merchants. There should
he no conflict between these two classes
concerning any work of public improve
ment. but both should move hand in
hand for the accomplishment of what
ever will benefit either.
The manufacturers want the Railroad
Bridge. 1t Will enable them 10 receive
their materials ard ship their wares
AT less cost than now, and thus
compete with the manufacturers
in other cities in every market
in the West and Northwest. The
present cost of transportation OF heavy
articles between the factories in this city
and the railroad on the other side OF
the river constitutes q considerable per
centage of the price Of the manu'ac-
tured article, ard is an expense which
those with whom it is necessary 10
compete are not compelled to undergo.
\ railroad bridge would materially
lessen this item OF expense. ii Will
rive MS close and direct connection by
rail with the localities from which the
raw material is to be brought and the
markets in which the manufactured
article is 10 be sold, without Gny inter
v.ning and expensive links OF carriage
or charges for breaking bulk.
In n matter which concerns the
manufacturers so nearly, certainly the
merchants and tradcsmen and all who
receive a benefit from the increase OF
population which thriving manu'ac-
lures bring, must also be deeply inter
ested. Let all classes therefore join
heartily in the effort for the building
of the bridge. 1t is Il real nrccsSit9 II
we ever expect to see the population Of
the city of Wheeling increased much
beyond lis present limit or the manu-
featuring interests OF the CITY TO achieve
much more than their present degree
of prosperity. The bridge must he
built, and all classes OF our citizens
should act unite lly and earnestly to
secure that emf.
