Fidtn tho ElcinWhtown Tost Kail Road. Probably no event of a local rlmrnrtT ever dtaKled tMa community from its equanimity, »• Governor Fonton's Veto of tho BUI to aid In building » Rflil Koad cm the West tide of Uk c < liaropYalD. Thentfong tote \t r#<-H\'rd fn the Assembly, being nino more thnu wim neoewmry to carry It, (and no doubt at leant flvo more would havo been added if they hail been ncces- nxry for its paiteage,) und a stronger vote in the Honate—threo fourths oftho whole—Ravo im J friends th* most complete confidence fttat it ' would benome a law. And tho act, though it gave but $0,000 per mile, was considered bj all as MQuring to thin people a ' rait road. Ai- ready they were looking forward to brighter days, when our great mineral wealth should no longer b« locked up five twelfths of the year ; when our resources should bo properly devel- oped ; capital bo Invested among us; manu- facturing rUlnffea spring up and abound ; and a section of J[he State, ao rich, if properly Im- proved, be brought forward toils true position. They felt sure Of this, for, on every Bide, cnpl- talists, m«o of business, other roadntobc bene- flttod and not a few of thorn, and no less tbmi four large cities, aU seemed to agree that this aid from tho state would give the enterprise an impeJtin that would ensure a final triumph.— That all these hopes and expectation should -bo blasted by ono man, by a dash of iy's pen, as It were, and for tho reasons bo gl ton, pro- duced Intense surprise and indignation. Tho veto Is not put upon any ground of un- oonstltutionallly, nor that the net violates any great principle of right or Justice; but nlAtply upon the inexpediency «f giving the aid at tuie time. One naturally asks—who ia tho bept Judge on this subject, tho representatives in Senate and Assembly, fresh from tho the peo- ple and tvhoso business it is to guard the public treasure, or thcExecutrvo? And when we take Into consideration the known fact that $5,000 per mile, to bo paid only so fast an tho road should bo finished, 1« not tho full share tlio Qtatc ought to pay in proportioa to tho lands owned by £ In this County, this veto is the more surprising. But that JB not all. North- ern New York has always paid its full share of the public burdens. It has been taxed to build the magnificent canal stretching from the great Takes to tide water, evory part of which is far distant from us. Aud more, it ha» paid its share of the throe millions given lo the New York and Erie Rail I toad ; a work •which opened to tho world Mr. Fenton'ti own county and vastly enhanced the value of ita pro- perty and increased Its population, and without which his own town would have remained »huf out from the world and property there havo been of little value and unsaleable Without that three millions tho road would not bavo been built and the lien of the Stato by that loan, which barred all further progress on the rond, was released by tbo votes of Senators and Aa- sembbvmen of Northern New York; at a time, too, wncn money was worth twice what it is now, jrhen tho State was struggling with debt and owned no lands on the route. Northern New York has never had a gift of a dollar from the Btato. And yet, year after yoar, during al 1 the present century, our citizens havo paid and do still pay Into thjB public treasury vast suras, as Interest and for taxes on their wild lands, four-fifths of which are as yet unproductive. All the anti-renters in tho Stato have not a tithe of cause for complaint, that wo havo, in this respect. The Legislature, in full view of the whole eubject, and cheerfully, we might say almost unanimously—for we believe all approred, though Home did not support tho measure- came to the conclusion that the Btato cowld do no less than give tho small sum of about one tenth of the cost of tho work. But ovou this Inadequate Justice has been denied aud this aid snatched from us, by Iho supcrlutivo wisdom of the Governor ; a man whoso home is in the extreme corner of tho State, six hundred miles from us, who is a stranger to our people, situation, our wants and our claims. lie says we havo Lake Chuuiphun. So wo have, for seven monlhs in the year. That geographical fact wo admit, and aro duly thank- ful that h is not always locked In Ice. Others have lakes, and rivers too. The peoplo on both aides of Lake Michigan, Eric, Ontario, tho Rivera St. Lawronco and Hudson, even those on Ui« East side of our Lake, all bad these natural advantages,—and yet millions upon inOllons bavo been expended for rail roads along their shores; and even along the great „ Erio Oanul, notwithstanding Us* immense ca- pacity for commerce, a mighty rail road has been buill. And who so stupid as to say that any of these rail roads are unnecessary. To / man who ore aware of the importance of ft rail road to the business of this portion of the State this suggestion can. hardly be considered oth- erwise than an insult. We have carefully amlncd this subject, and wo candidly admit that wo ore at a loss to account lot thia veto. We know that the rail road companies on the East side of the Lake, which are now wholly i>ubservient.to tho interests of Boston, and the business of which would bo paralyzed by a road on this side, have been bitterly opposod to- our road; and no doubt they feel excessive- ly jubilant over our defeat, and, though.sur- prised, if they are as.ignorant on tho subject as wo are, chuckle at* the short slghtedness by which the bilrwas lost and their wishes grati- fied. • The steamboat monopoly on the Lake too,—a corporation in anothe/ Btato, aud which has treated us most BhutocfuUy-—stood aghast at tho prospect of our having a road.— And it is charged that some of their principal men declared that the bin would bo vetoed and that ono of them stated that this would bt done If h cost $100,000. No doubt they havo tbroatoned and boasted—But wo allogo uo cor- ruption on the part of tho Kxccutivo Though wo «re surprised, and his conduct seems lout tncxplicable, slili wo mads—we couutouauco— no suoh charge unou the Governor of tho Em- pire State. Wo_do not Wolleve that it has como to that yet. Our own Impressions are, tbat in nn*evi] hour and under the influence of ovll counsel he foolishly came to tho conclusion that i would bo popular to bo considered the watch- dog of tho treasure of tho people, and to take that care of It which ho believed their own Im- mediate representatives were incapable of doing If popularity was tho motlvo all we is, that so far as Northern Now York c«rn«d we can imin. him of the warr... ^ »,, prwlatlon and consecration of an enlightened and discriminating people, ami f or nil tim •come.

We plnoe before our readers to-dJy the rc- rt of tho Congressional Committeo on Re- constrnction. It has to us but one objectiona- ble feature. It tnks tho southern peoplo to disfranchise tlii'inselvoB until after 1870. We r-annot believe that Congress will adopt thia r.lauso which prohibits nil who participated in the rebellion from voting at tho u«xt Presiden- tial Election. If it were nocestnry it would be fiolic/ to doso. But we cannot sec iho neces- sity for it. With the judiciou'i, and reasonable restrictions in regard to representation made In another damo, and tho othor provisions of thn hill, we think thi old nhip will sail off smoothly and safely. Strike oat tlio objection- able clause w« havo mentioned, and w« shall bavo a baflln of rcronstruction that is not only honorable, but ono that is practical, and that wo earnestly believe the people will adopt. How it is Received. In regard to tho veto there appears to bn almost a unanimous opinion among the peo- plo that wo havo been imposed upon, and that our rights have been triflod witb in a manner that cannot be overlooked. We think the fol- lowing from tbo Essex Co., Republican will meet with a hearty, response ; \ There is way in which we can make ours- elvcfiheaid, nnd have our demands rewpoclctl. It is by letting it bo known that no mau, who thus triUeswith our-rigbtn, can bavo our votes, either in convention or at tho polls. This de- termination to make ourselves hoard and re- spected, in defence of our juHtclaime, i.vio idoa fostered by politicians or rail-road mon. It springs up spontaneous in every section, \from every man; for all feel that a wanton and nn- dcHtfrved otab at our vital interests ban been mode, aud will resent it, now and hereafter.\ Wo publish a lengthy article from tbo Eliza bolhtown Post, which should bo read by every one, as it places tho matter boforo tho public lu ita true light. volvc itself, cither directly or indirectly, in re- lation with or in recognition of the institulinn of Prince Maximilian in ^leslco.\ Mr. Scw.ird avert! that this position is held without one dis- senting voice by all our countrymen.. This statement is unquestionably true, and the clear assertion of our disposition just at the time when.the French announcement of withdrawal was to be mode, relieves it of till appearance of being the.subject of»barter. The disposition of our Government between Austria is still more decided. In a note to Mr. Motley, our Minister at Vicuna, Mr. Sew- ard thus warns Austria that ahc cannot be al- | lowed, by indifference on the part of the Uni- | ted States, to assume the military'occupaiion of Mexico in the interest of Maximilian, now tbnt H ia about to be abandoned by Mexico ; ! \The time seems to have arrived when theat- j titude oftho Governments relation to Mexican i affrtii-H should beonceajiainfrflnkly and distinct- ly made known to the Emperor of Austria and all other Powers whom it may directly concurn. The United States, for reasons which seem to bejn«t, and to have their foundations in th\ laws of nations, maintain that the domestic /?»•- publinan Government with which the?/ (ire on rr.ln- mata (internment existing in Maxiro ; that a war has for a period of several years been waged against that Republic by the Government of Franco, which was begun witli a disclaimer ol all political or dynastic designs ; that that war has subsequently taken upon itself find now distinctly wears the character of a European intervention to overthrow that domestic Re- publican Government, and to erect in ils stead a European imperial military dcRpotisin by military force.

All the talk about.his abandoning hio Unionism and his roaillnesa lo form an alliance with trai- torfi is ridiculous. There isn't a word of truth in it, not a word. But ho does wish to form a uow party, \sloughing off the Radicals,\ to uae his own exprulsion. This is precisely what he is after, and in prosecuting his plans he will inevitably go over to tlio enemy. Ho cannot help it. For he Till find tbat ho cannot form a new party, but >e may take a few unsound men, like Thurlov Weed, Raymond. Doolittlo, (and possibly Dixon, though I don't believe it yet) and Cowan, .iver to the so called \ Demo- cratic\ party. There ho will finally land, and about the time tiiat he discovera that a new party is out of tha question the Grant furor will\ begin, and Andy Jonnson will possess little in- fluence. The Usion party will take Grant up on a moderate platform, but with the distinct understanding tlmt under no circumstances will he aililiate with Copperheads. His affections are and will be ivith the men who stood bv him in the war. Aud Grant, if ho lives, will bo tho next President, elected as a candidate of tho Union party. I know it is a long way ahead, but I make th« fMilktion for the comfort of those persons who are dejected on account of tho singular conduct of tho President.\ I nion of fAn Cover's Island with the Contfnfntby Telegraph.
