1t is an axiom Of politics that FREQ gov

upon an intelligent people. 1t cannot be
pretended that it is secure in States where 80
large proportion of the people are ignorant.

aspect OF the Case, % they contain all per-
sens over ten years of age, and it tinay be
presumed that many are children who after

ITS PROPOSED PURCHASE BY THE DELAwRK
RAILROAD COMPANY FINALLY ABANDONED.
Yesterday, a special meeting of the Directors
OF the Delaware Railroad Company was held at
philadelphia, when the proposed purchase of the
Junction IL Breskwater Roalroad was considered
and finally abandoned. The objections to the
purchase are strictly OF legal character. An
agreement had beem entered into between the
President of the Company and Mr. Baumgardner
for the purchase of the road for the sum agreed
upon between Mr. Baumgsrdner and Mr.. Hinck-
ley, (t93,O00) This agreement would doubtless
have been promptly ratified, but at the meeting
yesterday the opinion of the eIniuent legal gen.
tlemen was given 10 the effect that the Delaware
Railroad Company cannot purchase the junction
* Breakwater Railroad, on account of various
| legal restrictions
One of these is that the purchase under the
terms of the charter would rea ure the consent
of every stakeholder, which it Is impossible to
| obtain.
Their are several other objections of eaua /
force. The contemplated purchase was, there.
| fore finally abandoned, and the road is again in
the market.
