A mm* msetlng of the people of Erie county iu held
jeetOTrls J In Glrard la accordance with the call, a copy of
which 1 en*lo**d In mj laati letter. The Eriaa* it/ that
the whole thing wu got up neoretlj by the men la the
laifcoad latereet, aad that It waa their Intention te pcaa a
?at toe of reaolutiona opposing the construction of the San
tor] road, believing that there would be no one there to
>?wle against them. Home person* in Glrard, however,
who at* tamable to the people of thte city, gave them
% aettoe of the movement the night before, and about two
hundred Briane determined to be present for the ezpreee
parpsse W defeating the resolution* and of inbetltatlng
e4frer* prepared by themselrM. The meeting, though got
at the call of ooe man, a farmer, named Teller, who
reside* aear Oirard, waa evidently ealtod for the porpoee
ef favoring the view* of the lailroad men, and of opposing
the oonatmetion of the Erie and Banbury road. HI* oh.
jeet waa to ahowthat the Suabury and Erie Railroad eould
Mt be eoaatruoted, and that the project waa started by a
*w speculators at Iiie, who** teal dedga waa to cheat
the stockholders after they had reoelved a certain amount
by subscription. la the eeurs^ of hi* remarka it will be
eeea that he complains of the eitravagaaee of the people
af Ms la the erection of their publie building*, the coat
?f which ia defrayed by tax aneeameata on the whole
oowaty. He ooatended , aa a proof of what h* *aid ia
regard to the fraudnleat Intention* of the men who ware
at the head of the movement In favor of the aunbury
read, that it waa impossible to gst a euffloieat sum sub
scribed for its construction; that thsy knew that, and
that whsn thsy got the mo n*y of th* subasribera la their
poaeeaslon they would cheat them oat of it
About eight o'clock the Brians, seme of them in wa
gone, aome in oarrlages, and othere in buggies aad carta,
set oat for Girard, which ia about sixteen mile* distant
front frle, with a band of music at their hi ad and a ban
ner upon which waa the following inscription ?

a Hurrah for Um
? Erie ltd Sunbury Railroad.
When they arrivel at Girard '.hey appeared to have
taken that little town oompletely bj surprise. Every one
Hooked out of doors to ate what wu the maiter, and
many Girardians learned then, for the first time, that the
^ulst of their pretty Utile Tillage we* to be latnrbed by
a mu meeting. Befoe orgaoir. tig the Eriaiu wiaely de
termined in making a dxmuai t ration of another kind,
and repaired to one of the hotel*, where they fortified
thenu elves for the approaching contest. It wss amusing
to tee the distinction which they made between those
hotela la favor of the six toot gauge and those opp ised to
it. Before aome of them would consent to patronize either
the opinions of the proprietors shoulu be clearly under
stooi Use man, who had a remarkably large ortok in
hi* bat, amreed himself and the i Mutators by canvassing
the liewB of every ooe a pot the all important aubjcot of
the gauges. He said he was la favor of the broad track,
and hr certainly requlred.a very broad one while in that
condition.
The Eriani hai considerable dilttoulty In procuring a
plain fer a meeting. Mr. Hart, wno appeared to be the
feuatee of every public buildlig la tte town, having ie
heed to allow any of tbem to oe u ed for the purpose.
In Ilea of a batter plate they concluded on organising in
frontof Martin's ' six foot" hotel, navlng ingenioaaly se
lected the balcony for a roitrnm Batweea five and six
hundred persons assembled? a large number for so small
n town. The meeting wa* called to f rder by L. J. Bald
win, on whoa* motion Mr. Qeo ge Qoliowher was called to
the ebalr, L J. Baldwin and Theodore Ry man otBsia'.lng as
Tlee Presidents, and As* Battle* and Wilson Laird as
Iheretarles.
On motion of William Gabralth, Esq., the Allowing
gentlemen were appointed a ooomittee to draw up a re
port for the consideration of the meeting: ? 3. M. Smith,
Theodore Rytran, T. J. Kellogg and 0. 3. Clarke. The
meeting was then addressed by Mr. Teller, who spoke as
flftUowi*?
Fellow dtlxers? I appear before yon and before a
larger crowd than I expeotsd to Bod at this time; and I
am pleas* d to see a good many of our neigk bora here from
?rie. 1 did not know that there waa courtesy enough
among the people of that city to Induce them to visit us
In sucl great numter* I will cow state the objeot* for
which I oalled thii meeting. In the first plane. It is a
feet, and it is perhaps known te the most of yon. that our
Legislature in the vear 1862 passed an act, by wbioh they
authorised, or prettndei to authorise, the eommissionere
a t the several oountiea along the propoeed line of the
Banbury road to aubserlbe stook to the building of that
Nad. Another net was passed, by which they anthorlied
commissioners to take itook for that purpose on the Brie
and FiUaburg road. As a oitisen of Erie oounty and Pen*
sylvan la, ana a man who has always eontended tor the
lUk of man, I was opposed to this fM (Ml from the ha
gSnCM. 1 snppeea it ta IMt thAl mr commissioners
atari two yean ago agreed ta rabecrlbe $300,000 fer the
ttoek ef the Sunbury road; they drew bonds to toe
amount of $40, 080, ana plaoed them in the heads ef their
attorney, J. B. Johnson, who was started off to Phila
delpbia. There they were go'ng to have an
alecUcn of directors, and I think he went with
laatnetioas. Bone of the people were in favor of
Shame M. Becd, of trie as ooe of the dlroetoie, aid it
waa thought that Lowry might get la to be a director,
hat his ehanees wire rather small, far Walker stood In the
way; the ugh, by-the bye, thlxgs hive changed ulnae that
time? Lowry la more popular now than Walker wae then.
Well, Philadelphia, you know, was ta subscribe two mil
lions; but as it was aot forthcoming, the oommlssioasrs
did aot hand in the bonds. I believe it was a flgbt ba
tweea Lowry aad Walker, and I think the road which has
aaased io much trouble? I view as Got. Bigler viewed it
?I think it would be of very little advantage to Erie
aoanty. 1 believe the whole project Is a fraud, aad that
the company want to get your money, to oheat yon ont of
It. Let us see what was the further action of this oom
paay to defraud the itookholdere. At the lait November
aourt we And the combined influence of wealth brought to
bear upon the subject. Kelly, Richmond, aad the other
mlboad men directed their agents to go before the Grand
Jury and make their statemeat of the ease, that they
mint, by means of false statsments, deceive that body,
aad so rob the farmers snd mechanics of their
hard-earned money. They coaxed them for three
hears all of them, GUbraith, Marshall, ana the
rest who were In the Erie interest. Walker was also
thai*, and they were all trying to put the people la for
9160,000, although tome of theee men toll us before that
that road would.not pay fifty cents on the dollar, and they
aaid if it was ever furnished with cars and locomotives, it
would aot run one flay. But there is more about It thaa
that. The understanding was thi? They were tryiag to
gat a promise to let the four too . ten go on Albert Kelly
?aid he was willing It should be rt.n 'to the Mercer line,
while he wanted to get rid ol building through *> Frank
?a, bat I>ean Richmond said '' No? it will aot go sooth
ef theMeroer line." This all took place prior to the
November oourt: at that court we see this interact ga
thered together b? fare the Grand Jury to procure autho
rity to spend $160,004 south of the Meroer hne. Now. I
say this was a perfect ontrage, aid if you aad the rest of
as will not raise our hands against au outrage of this
hind, we deserve to be taxsd frr permitting it. Jast ljok
at it and you will r?e that the people of Erie city want to
bcsMflt themselves at our eipeaje and the expense ef the
wh>le county. What are they doing now? They are
bwlidirg a court hour e In that city for their exclusive
befhellt, and at tbe time when it wis oommenced it
was to 03*t only $30,000, but It Is said sow that it
wlU take $100, 0(0. N<<w, fellow citizens, you ?ee thi-i
will add about ote-fifh to our tax bill; but of tola we
woaid not c mj lain If they ltd not ends'.vor to make the
Ole of the ot ua- y pay for tlrlr benefit, la enterprises
are got up to cheat us, at J mate us afterwards pay
the eost of their fallnre. They want to move the boild
aout of the public square too at our expense. Now I
this bad eoooomy and extravagaace, aad we must aot
let them cheat us by getting us Into a scheme for the pre
tended bulMlrg of the dunbury aad Erie road Kelly said
help me to get the permission of ths Legislature ta baild
the road to the Meroer line, and let me oil (rum going to
the Franklin, an 1 yo* may take the $100,000 which lisan
Richmond was going to give me. Yen, but it won't psy.
Now, we are aot opposed to the Sunbury road if it would
pay. It ha* been said this meeting was got up to throw
a w?t blarket upon tb* Erie diSculttee? It is aot so. I
a w an Erie roan, and have been from the beginning. I
believe she had rights that ?e:e tramplel u,."o, but while
I am with Er'.e, I think she has done many things that
were wrong, rdie baa perhaps put herself in a wrong po
st .ion. how, with regard to th* Sunbury road, I know
they can't sell bond* for sixty cents on th* dollar.
How mush will It take to build that road.' Ten, twenty,
or thirty nulll>t*. I am not geing to denounce these
men ? I know nothleg of tbesi; but if the angel Gabriel
ware to take the management and oontrol of that roal I
should be apposed to taking stock In it. We should not
?ater Into these stock jcbkiag speculation*.
A \ oira? That's enou^u ? cow let us have the teport
ct the eommittee.
Mr. T?lum? Kevnr mini 1 am n<?t dime vet, Joa't be
la a harn: 1 calculate to tike jast as much time at I
want. This Is my meeting, (i.aughter ) Ilav* nothing
to do'witb the ann'oury road, take oar* of your noney.
How I will give my Erie friends a nhance, I am wllKng to
hare this matter rsirlv dueus, ed.
At the eoneiiFionc / Mr. Te.W s remarks the committee
rwporttd a series cf resolutions, bat before adopt'' a,
Mr feller again addressed the meeting la opposition.
Gentlemen, said he this is one of the most damaa
hie frauds that wae ever attempted to be paased off
upon attesting, (laughter.) Tee, it Is a moat daae
cable fraud. Tney have been talking to us about
the Hon bury road for ttc last twenty years; doa't
eadorss aojthing of the kind. If Erie endorses It, let her.
This meeting was not got up either to endorss the Eric
peo?le In their dlfti:ulty. It was got up for a different
narpose. Now I will give war
Load calls wsrs here made for Mr. Wral mw, of Erie, la

Theee resolutions are properly before the meotliig. In

Gentlemen, 1 have baaa abaeat for aaarly thraa montha,
aad my eole basiaeae haa baaa to talk to tha citiieos and
member ? of the Couaoil* la Philadelphia, npoa thla project.
It la well known that tha Ooonella of Philadelphia inb
scribed two m'lliona to tha etoek of that road, bat for
reaaoae beet kaowa to them, they saspeoded tha ordi
nancaa giving that amTont. Tha commissioners were not
satisfied with tha director*; thea Erie and Philadelphia
stood alike apoa that qaeetioa. I mat with Philadel
phlaai? mea whoaa feallage aa Peaasylvanlans and men
all honor? they a; a what wa ahonld hope to Had In every
eeetioa af the conntry. Th?y eald the faith of tha oltv
1a pledged, and that lta credit would be given lo thie work
to a certain amount, and ihe oaa 't back oat without be
ing guilty of the grossest aot o f repudiation, to far aa the
Erie and Bunbury road ia eonoeraed. Ton ash what if
you follow tha advioa of tha gentleman who haa j oat ad
dressed job, alter giving yonr pl-dge aad indexing otheri
to o< me In upon it It it said thU ta a local queetion?
that Erie aloaa ia latereated in it But I doa't think Erie
would bring here oitizaa* of different township* if they were
act t quail j interested ia it with her, quietly aa thia meet
ing waa called aad qntatly aa It waa attempted to be got up.
There ia bat one couree of polloy left aa. If we calculate to
act apoa good faith amoag ourselves, ia good faith to the
citiaana on tha line of the San bar? aad Erla road, we
mast answer with becoming promptness the geuerous
hand offered by Philadelphia to resist the aggressions of
New York and Ohio. W# must stand together we nsust
kiep onr faith, we mast show men East and Wast that if
they come here to construct railroads they must do so la
accordance with the policy of Pennsjlvau.'a. We munt
respect our? elves, aid others will respect u*. It is said
to be a local matter, aad that tha benefits and ad
vantagea would aocrna mainly to tha city of Erie; but
how does tae fond come '/ Five hundred thousand dol
lars come fr< m the city of Erie alone, and if gentlemen
will take a little pains to eiamlna they will And that tha
valuation uf property In the city of Erie forms a very
considerable Item. Gentlemen, I have but littla pa Menus
to dlsouss this question, aad I trust that, ss a communi
ty, we are not prepared to go back; that when we flud
combinations I rmli gsgalast us ?e are prepared to stand
U getber, shoulder to shoulder, so that when NewVork aou
Ohio say to ne they will cut off all railroad connection
with us, *e will put onr rhoulder to the wh-el, an I )e
them know that la Pennsj lvanla a way for the ooumerce
of the country will be opened up, and that neither will
control the lakee whioh are opened to us eight mouths In
the jeer Tbe gentleman who preceded me talked some
thing about the priors of Erie bonda? how cheap they
could h# bought. V he knew anything about the subject
beside mere rumor, I know he would not state what he
did. I know something about that matter, and I know
that no bonds have bars sold for sixty ceota; that no
bonds have (one beyond the contr i of the Sunbury and
Erie Railioad Company, exoept three thousand dollars,
which have gone into the hands o( our own oitlsens
two thonaat d dollars of which went at par and one thou
sand at ninety cents on tha dollar. Ad<i these bonds vent
out at a time whan tie Bunbury an1 Erie road, as a pro
ject, appeared to flsg Let me say to tha gentleman that
no man can get a dollar of tha bonds of the city of Erie
for eighty or ninety cents to-oay (Cries of "flood.")
ne Bey tiut if the condition of the subscription of
cll7 ?f Philadelphia is perfec.ed, without
which It is not expected a dol'ar will be taken from
the treasury of Erie county, she will then have an ef
ic.lve capital of over four millions, and with that
I should prefer the stock of the road to the bonds of the
county of Erie. I believe the feelings of the people of
this county are strons for the road ecd tha they will
make ns respected I believe that that feeling Is more
ieeply Implanted mors general in the county of Erie,
than tbe feeling upon an/ o her subject.
Mr. W ballon having concluded, the resolution* were

this thiig Mere is a call tor a ooaaty meeting, and it
; goes abroad to Philadelphia that it refuses to build this
road ? to support the interests of the eounty. And will
i b mass meeting, as this is called, repudiate her? Will It

say It is right, aad if It la aot right, vote It dowa.
