WHE1EAs, The questions at issue be-
tween the Legislature OF this State and
the d. 80. Railroad, have aroused great
anxiety among the people, and unless
speedily and amica6ly adjusted, must
seriously affected their business interest,
therefore,
Resolrei, That the interests Of the town
Of Martinsburg, mercantile, manufacture
ing, and mechanical, have, for long
period, grown up with reference TO the
relation Of the town OF the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, that they have in.
creased and prospered by reason OF this
relation; and that any legislation, which
Iudely disturbs or destroys il, will be pro-
ductive Of incalculable injury to the coul.
munity, its citizens and especially those
engaged in trade,
Secund-That while matters Of differ.
ence have arisen with the Railroad Com.
pany in regard to particular items Of
height or tariff that they have been gen.
orally adjusted satisfactorily, and that the
assumption that hostile feelings existhere,
or in this county, 10 the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, on the part Of those OF our
citizens brought into business contact with
it, is mistake; and that any legislation
based upon any such presumed hostility
will be unfounded, unCalled for, and most
deleterious to the interests OF all Cencern-
ed. ~
Third That protesting against the pas.
sage OF the net, known rs the quo TdrdniO
law, We earnestly endorse the action OF the
House Of Delegates in passing, on the 81
inst, the Monroe joint rcsolutiOn-that all
questions Of atand practical difference,
which'may,e2ist between the State and
railroad company, beremitted to q flair and
candid conference, with a view TO their
speedy and satisfactory adjustment-that
no law be passed which may result in
fruitless and expensive litigation, but such
only as will protect, mutually, the inter-
est Of both the people and the railroad
company, and result in the full develop
ment Of the material interests Of the State,
FOurth-The foregoing resolutions, cx-
pressing our carefully considered views,
We ask the Legislature generally to con.
slider, and we particularly commend them
to the attention Of our Senators and Dele
gates as embodying opinions we claim the
right to ask them 70 especially regard and
promote.
Referred 10 committee now in session.
AT l2:45 the Senate, on motion OF Mr..
