CHILDLIKE SIMPLICITY.
Mr Henry Sanson is at it again. This time he is trying to enlist the sympathies of Mr. Henry Andereon on behalf of his pet scheme of railway. It is now>some time since Mr. Anderson has been over the dis-? trict, and if we could oijy; prevail upon ttiat gentleman to take a look at the rival routes, weshoujd not have much douhts as to wpch line he would advocate. How-. ? r ,?rff$ a wa ape desirous of giving all due publicity to anything Mr. Sanson has to say on the subject, we. take leave to.reproducejthe following, for the edification of our readers '.—■ . • The Foxtojt and WBitisraTON Riii#At. To ilie Editor of the Evening Chronicle., Sib,— l hope that, you will continue to advocate the claims of vPoxton as' the ter-t minus, of; the Wellington railway" It appears to me a very unreasonable thing to suppose the Government would construct two railways within six miles of each other, as would be. the case if the West Coast railway be taken to Paimerston ' instead of Foitbn, as fully two-thirds of tfie land from i the proposed point of divergence is a low swamp, and would never be fit for .otherthan grazing purposes, and consequently-would-not sell for one shilling per aero njoro Avith. a railway than without it.— l arh, &c\ H.
