EKNMENT EAILWAY 1OLICY.

A very large meeting of the peeple of Pownal ‘and vicinity, wae beld ow Thursday last, to ais | euse the Railway Question, JHon James Dut~ | can, ove of the representatives of the district |was present. Alexander MeNcil!, Evq., was lehosen Chairman, and Joba Lutler, Eeq, | S-eretary.

he escertain the views ef the meeting. He had not i thought about, nor studied much about the Rail- | road question = There had been no offers made to the Government, but he understood some | . . a Railvuad, to Mr Pope. ‘Thinking the meites would not come up, be did not give the proposals |much attention, He beard that the Superin-

There were £00,00€ in the Savings Bank; and more waiting to be deposited, which would be above £100,000 for investurent lle was not oppoeed to Railreads on principle, but ag the cost of Right-away, and other expenses would be su great he did not feel justified in urging it up-

on this District. It would be a more direct bene-

fit to other districts; he understood that all Re- presentatives of Prince County were in favor of| it, except Mr. Howat, If we could have a Railroad, without loss, it would certainly be better to have it.

In reference to local wants of the District, he would be glad to do his best to bave them aitend- ed to; he differed from them seme time ago about the Ferry Question, and he now believed | that the people saw that his eourse turned out best.

J. B Gay, Eeqr., said: whilst feeling incom- petent to make a lengthy epeech, be would re- ‘mak, that he thought, at the present time, we | could not bear the enormous outlay whieh builc- | ing a Railroad would cost. The average dis- tance of shipping porte from principal places was not wore than two and a hait miles, What- ever benefit might he eonferred on Northern parts, it could not be ef much benefit to the | Southern parts. At the Chaslottet. wn meeting, Mr, Pope said, 30 000 tourists would visit the | fslaud, who would spend a large amount of |money. He thought this wes a chimerical idea

Aud Whereas, The inefficient atate of our pree sent Public Works deimand that greater atte: ~ tention be paid to improvirg the ecoudrtion of our Roads, Bridges, and Wharves, which is con~

| sidered by this meeting would be of wore gener- nl advantage te the inhabitants of the Island.

| And Whereas, The Leae- Ti system hae been steadily ou the decrease, but large tracts of land are sti!l held by propricters, and the con- ‘templated live of Railroad wiil, in all probabdili- pase through a large portion of eaid Lease land, and likely, to materially increase its /value, and place the proprietors in a position te vaiue their lands mrch higher than at present, and thereby preclude the tenant from the hope

jof ever being free,

Therefore Resolged, That this meeting consi

| parties made proposals, in reference to building | dere, that the Lease bold tenure which prevail’

over a jarge portivn of the Island, should first if possible, be settled, and that out hredent Pubs lic Works, syclr a» the completion of our Bridges and Wharves, 29d aa improvement in our Pub- lig Roads, will be of more general benefit than the contemplate Railroad,

Mr. Thomas Crane asked if Mt, Dunean would vote for the Railroad, if it were broaght imag Government measure, Mr, Dunean replied be would not, eoless at desire of is constitcents.

Mr. James Haley said be had net much to say, but it would be in favor of Railrosds. The quee- tion as to ove email! section of a country oppoving any project for the general good, had long ago been settled. It was the question between civil. ization and barbarisin -—between good laws and tyranny. The time had come for Railroads, to enable Yarhiers living inland to gel sanure, and to transport their ;roduce, People every day here, gel the Jeud of woney at 10 and 12 per cent, . and make mouey out o! the transaction, It waa a sound policy, and if so, vby not apply i t Railroad uodertakings? He believed that Gov~ ernwents were warravted in incurring taxation, when there are reasonable grounds for showing that it was for the advancement and progress of o country. Buch practice was in accordance with the genius of Representative Institutions, He bad no ulterior viewe; they ali koew him, an¢ these were Lis bonest convictions, (Cheers),

Mr. Crane.—Piove the benefit cf Railroada (Cries ot prove it! Prove it !).

Mr. Haley satd be was vot a fatalist nor a be. liever in manifest de@tiny, therefore could pot prove what belonged to the future, Druothe, storms, accidents may come involving genera} ruin, but be bailt hus opinion upon the fact, that other countries had built Railroads and after experierce, are going on building more. Ii Nova Seetia they are extending the system, and though between New York and@ Boston there wore three lines, they were gving to have ang other. We want something to develop the re- sources cf the country, and keep the young men at home. (Hear! Ucar!) Where are the boys that grew up with me? Beareely one is bere now. You may not feel the want of Reaii- roads bere, but in the tuland parta, we absolutely require them. He moved the following reseiu- sion, which was seconded by Mr. Theo. Gay >

Ho», Mr, Dunean said, Mr. Smith has over—

One hundred and thirty-six years later, after rauch confusion und anarchy, consequent upon | the fail of the Carlovingian empire, the! donations of Pepin and Charlemagne were | repeated and Cuntirmed by Otho the Great, | when, at the hands of Pope John the Tweifth, he accepted the imperial crown,

Since the year 936, when Otho was crowned and the Holy Roman empire was established. these territores were never seriously disturbed, | until the time of the tirst Napoleou ; for even | during the Avig» on period the Italian property | ot the Church was administered mere or less | in the interest ad fer behoof of the Holy See. |

Une of the best proofs of the right—a rizht| sanctioned by so many centuries—ad of tha validity of the claim which is now presented, 1s to be found tn the fact that the Allies, in | 1214 and 1815, restored tothe Chair of St | Peter the greater portion ofits ancient pos | sessions, If porsessious means anythivng—ii | possession in any case constitutes a right, not, to speak of the dovatiocs of Constantine of| Peyip, of Charlemagne, of Otho—sorely that |

Antonelli, in our judgment, puts the case well when hesays : ** The Supreme Pontiff will! accept no plan of arrangement which does not clearly and equivocally recognize his right to. the territories of which he las been despoiled | on the Napolijten frontier and op the line of | the Po.” It is sot our belief that Antonelli) is satished that be restoration 9! the property |

We think it has already been shown that the Railway will largely enrich the Colo- ny, and effect a direct saving to the inhabitants of an amount more than equiva- lent to this proposed annual interest even | upon the absurd supposition that the trafilc would contribute nothing towards the pay- ment of the interest, and that it would cost as much as the offer made indicates. But we propose to show that the hne would contribute largely to the payment of the interest, and we will present an estimate which we have taken some pains to pre- pare, and which, we think, may be relied upon as being qui e within even reasonable probability.

Assuming the population of the Island to be 90,000. and that the length of the line which will pass through a well-cultivated portion of the country, will be about 100 miles in length, this would give about 900 inhabitants per mile of railway, which is a higher average than that of the country along the Shediac and St. John Railway which gives only an average of about 800 | per mile, including the population of St. John and which line passes through an in-
