of himself and the Road as follows:
All these facts have been shown in the
Annual Reports of each year. If, any are not
informed, it is because they have neglected to
read. We are not chargeable with their ir- ;
norance. The whole management of the Road
has been condemned by these, and by others
having their own objects of private interest,

The censure and abuse of such is of no con
