THE ERIE RAILROAD WA Our Special Correspondence. tion by the Erians~-Grand Pi ? vine . sale of the Governor, General Whelan, Mr. Enery, and ot ‘OF THE GOVERNOR —THS PAOCKSSION AX D ARRIVAL Meier es The Governor arrived last evening at seven o'clock, accompanied by Mayor King, Mr. Lowry, General Packer, Judge Gillis, Judge Knox, and the escort from this city, who met bim at Kingsville. Long before the hour of. ound about the rajlroad depot was ct Py and the streets leding to the railroad sti thronged: The firemen—of whom there were né™glya hundred— turned grith the military to receive him, and hun dreds of peoplé came in from Harbor Creek and the adjacent qouptry for the same purpose. Every one ‘ugpressed with the idea that Gover- 4 who has both the power *ir' diffiouities and restore PFoapefous condition. At seven o'clock precisely the train bearing the welcome visiter arrived. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of the crowd when he made his appear- ance. They pressed around the sars, and it was several minutes before he could get into the carriage which was waiting for him. Mr. Lowry and Mayor King, with two other gentlemen, were in the same carriage with him, and received a large share of the gratulations of the crowd. The firemen—each of whom bore a _ lighted torch—formed an imposing feature inthe grand array that presented itself to him as he alighted from tha cars. Their flaming torches, borne on the top of poles twelve or fifteen feet in length, looked like meteors. After a delay of abouts quarter of an hour at the depot, the military, firemen and others formed in the following order, and proceeded through the princtpal streets to Brown’s Hotel, under the direction of tne marshals of the day, Gen. John Kilpatrick, Col. D S. Clark, and Capt. John W. McLane: — Military, accordirg te rank; Committee of Arrangements; Committee of Reception with Governor Bizler; Citizens generally ; Fire brig de, on each aide of the procession. On the arrival of the procession at Brown’s Hotel, where about two thousand people were assembled, the Governor was addressed by General WugLan, one of the Committee of Reception, as fullows:— Governor Bigler—Having been aviected vy the partiality vof my friends to address you on o-half of the corporate authorities of this city and its citizens, with the warm spproval and co operation of the aitizans of thls county, in their seme, and as an expres-ion of their wishes, Lextend to you on this cccasion a cordial, sincera, and hearty welocme to this part of toe Commonwealth over which you preside wiih so much honor It woull be doing injustice te tho whom I have the honor to ra.

After the applause which followed the close of General Whelan’s addr*ss had subsided, Governor Bigler responded as follows:— ‘He said be was ceeply sensible of the honor eonferred ‘by the welcome which it hed plessed the people to ex tend to bim; and he thanked their rapreseotative for tne kind terme which he nad ewploved in expressing their wirhes. He bad come here to p»form a difficult official duty imposed upon the L-gislatuce—a duty he hid desired to discha’g- quietly, and, if powible asefully, He had not supposed that he would be required to ac dress an arsemblage such as he now #27 but such @ demonstration was, perh ‘consequence of the relation which he to the impo tant difficulties which have srisea bet roen the railcosd oom papier and the neers of this city. The scenes of the fast two months had made this city the ru sjest of tien from ihe whole country, and the p quences a matter of solicitace on the part of the Siate acd patic pal suthorities. For his own par’, be must be permitted to ray, that he bad watehed with dees colivi tude every surge of the mighty senti meat which asemsd to pervade this community—solicituds rights and welfare, and for your hoaor a a portion of the people of P-nurylvanis, enxious that these rights shoul these interests promoted «» fai controversy; and, if possible, mo act of violence »; at fair fau © of your eity. ference to the details of this controversy, raid the dover. nor, will pot be expected mor woul it be proper for him to review them.

At the conclusion of the Governor's remarks three cheers were given, after which the crowd was ad- dreeeed by Mayor King, Mr. Lowry, and others. The people then dispersed, but it was one o'clock next eee tee the quiet of the city was restored. Before’ banquet a large number of persons were introduced to the Governor in the receptien room of the hotel, which was crowded with both ladies and from the moment of his arrival. THE BANQUET. At ten o'clock the Governor and a company of about one hundred persons sat down to a banquet ia Brown’s Hotel. Among the prominent gentlemen present were the following:—Mr. Frost, U, 8. Mar- shall; Wm. F. Packer, former Speaker of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania; James L. Gillis, ex-Judge and ex-member of the House of Represen- tativesiof this State; John C. Knox; Sanuel Bigler, | , Wrother of the Governor; =m King, Mr. , General Kilpatrick, Major Datlinger, Mr. G niyndee Thom , Mr. Marshall, Gen. Whe lan; Géorge H. Morton, A. P. Darbin, B. F.

Some. times matrimoniel ties, particularly when made without full consent of the old folks, without due provision for ‘the future, may Irad to a seperation and even to divorae.

For in all this thiag, I trust, we will not only use the moat kindly phrassology, but that we will exereie that kind sympathy which will rapidly wipe Out this family difficulty Now.

With auch great purposes of enterprise as are entertained im this grand scheme there can be no failure—the purposes of enter- prise, the encs of justice, avd the {ateresta of the commu- nity, will, Ihave no doubt, be subserved, for we have a pertect right to contend for these local advantages which are peculiar to us. Bat our efforts must always be tsm pered by those great principles of amity aud eommerss which eontrol cur sountry. I think so other princi sles will be acceptable to the people of Erie, Tae off:pring cf ® ocramon soil, people of the rame blood, wita the same objects and pucpores, stimulated by thi motives, almost bone of our bi od flerh of our 4 vided ouly by imagiuary lines. I am unwilling thet it will require more than a sbort period to r’store the good Telations that have heretofore existed among ourselves and sister States. And now J find, by the by, I am getting off the track, genge or no gauge, and, on occasions like this, we ought to have a wide gauge, because I don’t in. tend to speak seriously on the subject; but it ts the fault of my friend over the way. I must again remark, on leav- ing you, that what [have sai. must not be taken as offi. for what I would say officially in the delicate duty I Dave before me I sball tay very carefully. Upon whom shall L revenge myrelf now? Mr. Lowey—Upon the Supreme Conrt. Gov. BigLke—That remiods me that I should fall back upon the Supreme Court, I will beg Isave to intro- dues to you my friend Jadge Knox, Judge Knox arose on this introduction, and ad- dressed the company substantially as follows:— My business here is not mating spseches, The place T am compelled to oooupy by act of Assembly is somewnat Aifferent Whatever apeeches I make murt, assording to statute, be written, We make paper books in: of we ed nome recently before us in which the Erle was concerned. There was 60 thing about the gauge, which I want to tell you a secret about, Tae books were 20 Jong and hed been written with co much care, that nobody dared to resd them in the court, not even the counsel He commenced 8 brief statement, as he ssid but his “brief s'atement’’ took ro long that he never reached the end of it Tae Legislature of Peonsylvania thought they could out ti knot, for it could not be uvtied; aud after recitiog very long preamble, they mace a very short bill, aud very thort work of it aliogether. There are some preat bles in the bill which I #opprse none will be called uj to prove jast now. The resalt of it all is, that while ¥ United Siates Marabsi war engaged to ruperintend o ros¢, the Governer bas been engaged to superintend the other. (Laughter and applause) I don’t know how you have enperintended your railroad matters; bat inasmuch ae yon have got the United States and Penosylravia to heip you, it will be a sad affair if you don’t have it well renaged. (Revewed laughter.) Bat, gentlemen, there ts something rerious ia this matter. I have no doubt it 4a amusing for you to laugh at its humorous featares; but {tis to be regretted that anything has arisen ia your bitnerto peaceable community that should have given rise to a difficulty lke this between different communities.

In reply to a toast to the authorities and the au- thorities of the United States, U. 8. Marshal Frost was called out, but declined speakiog, as he said it was ® business he never foliowed in hie life. He, however, returned his sincere thanks for the kind treatment he had reeeived while he had been here Mr. Hicox, of Cleveland, was next introdaced > the company. He replied to Mr. Packer in a few brief remarks. He The cepot at Cleralend bad rot been Josated at the wa- ter for the purpose ef benefit that sity, bar with the view simply of accommodating the business of the road which transports rge amount of freight. It was ne oeesary aleo to bay passenger Cepot atthe time that road was built for the convenience of those cross tpg the Iske, as the priccipal part of the travel was by boats. This reed was constrneted 1 before the Lake Shore road at that elty was built, Whee the Lake Shore Rall-ond was completed, it | became @ rival to the lake, having no business whatever with the harbor in bringing passengers either to ot from it. The speaker argued from this, that even if the Lake Shere which rice to Erie, were made to termicate atthe harbor it would be of no advamtags to the olty, because passengers going from Buffslo to Cleveland or would not o! om the cars to the boate, or from the boats to the cars, pre'erring the one ind of con- yeyanoe, as putting them to the least isconvenience. They would no more think of doing +o than the passen ere satog from albany to New York woald think of #tp of the rm '@ places to change the cars ‘doats, or the boats for the ours Mr. Lowny rose immediately, when Mr. Hicox —~ bis seat, and made the following reply. He It was his fortune to meet the sophis ef Cleveland men, as he hed on another occasion telt hisnealt called upon to peform the same cuty whem Alfrei Kelly repre- wanted the Western interest; that theo he gave the ra! road men good advices, aed he would venture the on this cecasion; that he had then tcld Mr. Kelly that danghter of hia, whom he boasted of bringing to Ponseylvavis, “where they marry withont license, and build railroads without charters,” was « bastara—a bse born child, coacetved in New York, amd forend into the world, under the midwifery +f Bask«ye quscks, upon the soil cf Peonayivenia.

I would not sleep in the old Ksy. stone one night if she was contending for a break of gauge, merely to tax the commeroe of her youager sister. ot the Weet; but # break at some point on the late is inevitable, and, as a Pennsylvanian, I deslare that uti! our State sovereignty shall have been anaulled, the wio0g contemplated by New York and Ohio aball pot be oo.- summated:; a1 swear by the bones of our ancestors that Philadelphia shall not be sacrificed to the cupidi'y and strugg! ity upon . hes arene’ her long slumbering mother, and will take Gauj hter—agonised and pale from the conflict with the vipers and shivering trom the cold blasts of per. secutk n and calumny—io her arms, and protect her, and warm her in her ewn bosom.

This was not necesssry, for the law is our strong defenos, and although the railroad combination bas $200,000,000 of capital, little Eriecould not be bought. She met the two flanks of the enemy on the right, aad the other on her left hand, and held them at bay until the Sipreme Court grappled with the monster which was maintainiog nuisance over our heads and under our fee:, and the Legislature bac wrapped the winding sheet around the romping bantling who had laughed to scorn the severeiga- ty of Pennsylvania; and the result inthe Supreme Court in relaticn to the Kris and Northeast road, will be equally vtreng in vindicating the rights of Erie and Penosylvania And [ would here make suother prophecy, and would call on those prerent to bear me wirness of the result, that it the railroads of New York and Ohio would not mest Penn- sylvanis in their own respective widths of iron—the whole people of Pennsylvania will demand of their repre sentatives at Harrisburg thet » legislative wall be builtup at the Oh’o State liae—high as heavea, and ceep as heil. Pennsylvania don’t want to do this—Philadelphis don’t deste it—Pitisburg don’t desire it; but we warned gen: tlemen that they would find it to their interest not to goad us on any farther.

Great Crowds of People from the Cowntry— Another Procession—The Governor serves the notwe ‘“toquit” om the Franklin Canal Com- | pany, or Western Road—Incidents, §2 , §c. This morning an immense concourse of people flocked in from Harbor Creek and adjacent country | to see Governor Bigler, 80 that in some places the streets were almost impassable. It would seemas if | they could never sufficiently express their gratitude | towards him for the prominent part he has taken in their defence, and the encouragement which he has | directly and indirectly given them in their opposi- tion to the railroad men. The artillery were out about eight o'clock this morning with their cannon, and blazed away, to the infivite delight of some and the great annoyance of others, in front of Brown's Hotel, where their distinguished visiter is staying at resent. They appear to set no bonnds to their re- joicing, and are firm in the belief that they have triumphed over every obstacle; but the rey of tae charter of the Franklin Canal Company has not set- tied the difficulty—there will be long and tedious litigation before the controversy is decided. ‘he Governor received his numerous friends from the country in the reception room of the hotel, after which he was escorted throagh the princi- pal streeta by a |; procession. There were over a thousand ers on horseback, the ater Pacts of whom were from Harbor Creek. ‘earl: of these wore red leggings and a sash of \d aroand te waist. some ‘heir appearance was certainly very Imposing. There could not have been Jess than five thousand persons altogetier in the streeta to-day, coun ing those also who were in the procession. Before the line of = broke up the Governor addressed the people in the priacipal equare, but his remarks were not materially different from those he made last night anda fall re ort of which I have sent you.

In the stormy days of the Revolution, when the strongest hearts sank with fear, and when the horizon of liberty was clouded with darkness, it was his powerful mind that swept away its gloom, and sent the voice of freedom ringing through the land. Had Paine been less true to his own convic- | tions, less anxious for liberty, and less desirons to overthrow despotism, he would long since have been considered and recognized as the greatest champion of buman freedom, and as the greatest friend to the rights of man, and as such,a national monument with the name of Thomas Paine would long siace bave graced the national capital at Washington. But he dared to be free—he dared to on priestly forbidden groaud—he dared toes ste; tatlish man’s highest prerogative to examine all | things, and reject that which appeared to him false in religion as well as in politics, and hence the in titude of this nation towards Thomas Paine. M s. e then proceeded to indulge in speculations on the Eastern question, which, from her Polish o1 , nat urally diverged into a strong diatribe against the Czar, and concluded by saying that Germany would soon be roused to shake off its own despots, Italy would once more stand erect in her freedom and glory, Hungary wouldshow the world that she was worthy of Kossuth, and Poland would again shake with the volcavic throes of insurrection, and would rise like the Pho- nix out of her asbes, to proclaim her independence.

The New York Tribune, the organ of s»cialism, red republigauism and “Hot Gorn,” either deceived or encouraged by the manifesto of - society of foreign ors to enlighten its readers upon tl Tapjeet of jot Tegates Sod tueir duties, at 4 same time renew their excitement among the lager bier mine: The Tribune being ignorant (if we may ju from its remarks,) of the power of a Pope's com sioner, especially in times of war, under a military commandant, has no right to form itself iato a tribu- nal and pass judgment on M. Bedini merely from its own conclusions. The Ty:bune acknowledges that there are no legal documentseither to prove or disprove his guilt or innocence of the charges brought against him by persons having no weight in the community, and yet it assumes that he must be guilty because, it says, he ee. over the military ruler of Bo- logua. He about as much power at the time of Bassi’s death over the Austrian commavder aa one of our police magistrates would have over 8 jadge ot the Supreme Court, and the assumption that the Papal commissioner either named or sanctioned the execution of any insurrecticnist is utter! false, which in a short time will be clearly pi by au- hg ce oon itherto been considered law and equity to believe man innocent until he is found paid in the case of M.

His slanderers have not quoted one le reliable authority, or even ne » Bologna or elsewhere, to sustain Nor can they prove that Gavaazi, (with whom the slander originated,) ever publicly mentioned M. Bedini’s name in connection with Ugo Bassi until after M. Bedini’s arrival in this country. The Tribune, £: 2, and other pay who pass condemnation on M. Bedini,~ and on him to prove his innocence, had beter first send a commis sioner to Bologna, have matters investigated, aad then come forward like men with the truth; mean. time, they should refresh their memories as to the entire falsity of their assertions, and also as to facta relative to the atrocities committed in the name of liberty by Maazini’s followers, which they ean do by consulting foll authorities, publish- 1849, and 1850:—Baillie Re- and As to the blood-and-fory Italian manifesto con- cocted at some nameless meeting, there is little to say.

Unfortunately for this document, however, only about four of the signers are known to the public as having any positive existence; one of those it is well known has not been out of the United States for the last ten years, there- fore must speak from hearsay; and another, from his own pusillanimous character, (he having more than once expressed contrition for his par. ticipation in the Mazzini outrages,) must have signed under fear of the stiletto; ress are all | maccaroni, lazzaroni, and eurrapjelli. That glorious patriot G. F. S:cchi de Casali, in his zeal for the cause,signs it three times: first as “Guis- seppo Secchi,” next as ‘F. Casali,” and ast, not least, as“G. F. Sacchi de Casali” Whata Cae patriot would be in a closely contested elec- ion! Those virtuous and peaceably disposed exiles— wanderers, they say, for the gocd cause—must sup- e that Americans only read the Tribune and ‘apress, or that they have been asleep for the last five , to think that they would swallow all this bom! on such authority. Liars, they say, have need of good memories. It is but a short time since that Maccaroni, en & Co, elated with the success of the Ugo Bassi flaying story, stated that fifty other glorious patriots were treated in the same inhuman manner by the Pope and the Austrians. This romance was echoed by the Express; and yet the fioal manifesto names only four criminals executed at Bologna, and they were shot without being skinned. The remainder, according to Maccaroni, pein pt & Co.'s account, were sent to the galleys—so t, after all, it would appear by those patriota’ own ey ae Austrians were not such cruel fellows as they have represented them tobe. Those men were taken as traitors, and yet reseived the death of soldiers. But even supposing that all those stories april foreign regamuffins were true, what have the Ameri- can people to do with them? Is the veace of the country to be distarbed, and our police kept eternally on the qus vive, by their riots and animosities? Who can tell where it willend? M. Bedini has taken his Coat but may not the next steamer bring some er official who will be equally obnoxions to those peaceful exiles, Let such papers, then, asthe Tribune and Express, which excite outrages, be looked upon with suspicion. In conclusion, I would advise the Tir:bwne to know what it is writing about before it again gratuitously offers its judicial opinion. I would also advise - caroni, ‘anjelli & Co., to settle downand be satis- fied with the blood of poor Sassi. 6 pab- lic peace and insulting our foreign Mi will never convince us that they will make good citizens, ee enjoying our free government and its in- Capgou..
