6 The WHEsL1Na & LAKE ERIE R..R.
important connection of the Ohio
River and Lake Erie is near a fixed fact,
and the time has come when Massillon
should look that fact ID the face. On its
present location,l sit w{lhpRss this city two
and a half miles southwest and for use
full and practical purposes, so far as this
city is concerned, might as we'll be upon
the peaks Of the gGordiileras. Without
stopping now to discuss, whether the
course that the M~assellopians have taken
in regard tofhat road has been correct.
We do say thatsnoW at must be Considered
whether the, road ought not to come up
the T9scaraWas river from Navarro to
Massillon. thence via Dalton, in Wayne
county, to the noFthsFno terminus Of the
road. Shall Massillon be left where it
would be If the road be built on its pres
ent loestion2 and that it will be built
is no doubt The contractor, Hon.
Walter Stanley, IS not only willing to
build The road but is amply able to build
1t as he has contracted to do upon the
terms proposed BY. the compapy. Mas
siIlon should at ones pfooesd to have the
route changed, if it can be done, and we
doubt not it can. Hon. T. w. Chapman,
the Director residing at Navarro, will of
enter into y arrangement for the
OF the company, but Massiilon
mustlact if it expect to succeed and must
ast H5Fhand act eperaetically. We are
wellaRsre that some of the mopeyed men
this city are saying that railroads, not
built, must stop. To that we have
to say, that the capital to build the
Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway is al
ready provided, and does not depend up
on panics for its existence It lives indie
pendent Of Jay Cooke & Co. or any body
else who hold their existence under the
diseased condition Of the currency Of the
u. s. We call upon Massillon7 therefore
to. be at work. to look to its interest. Up
to this time, like Jonah, it has been sleep
ing IN the aide of the ship.
