OF Richmond permanent emporium for great

Vt is proper 70 inform the reader that the
great kanawha river can be navigated with
loaded boats Immediately below the falls, from
which the Ohio is ditant about so miles--and
according TO the maps, about miles below
Pittiburg, 70 that thoit who tranfport goods this
way, wall avoid great many difficult ihoals be-
hdtS ABOUT miles in danger and dif-
tance. itthere be any who have doubts as to
the faets which have been fated, they are foi-
cited, before they form their opinions, to under
= nd the fubiect thoroughly. They are re-
quoted 10 cat their eyes over the maps, and Z
iupertcial view will teach them, that my offer
vatIons are founded in truth. The writer of
this, has no motive to deceive his fellow-ci;i-
gems, nor would he in fuch times endeavor to
FeriulGe them to undertake the execution of an
e%penilve work, which did not promife 10 make
ample atonemcnt.
f1n my observations heretofore, it will be re-
collected, that have recommended, that the
soor@ Hbeu!d be dOne altogether ut tie bll5fe er-
Pc2tje, and that tbrroad HoHidbe free. If however
the plan is oppoied on that account, thofc who
may approve the meafure, will find it eafv to
tubitute the neceiiary alterations, 70 as to make
1T turnpike road. But even If this fhould he
the cafe, it is hoped and recommended, thai the
aiicmbiy viii referve at leait one fourth part OF
the flares for the Commonwealth, becanie the
public eye and legislative influence, will al
ways be directed to an object in which the peo-
pie arc 70 largely, and in 4 two-fod manner, in
tereted.}
The reader will perceive that have excited
his attention to the hyperion advantages Of the
contemplated road, over any which doth or can
exit IN Pennsylvania or elfewhere, without the
aid which the road will derive from water car
uage--For althO' peculiar mercantile arrange
ments may, at fome times, induce traders to
convey their goods from Richmond bevond the
Allegheny BY wagons in preference to waiting
for change of feafon, yet the fame reafons will
not exit after they arrive a. Hreeuhrier river
there boats may be uGod. But as the necrfarv
Improvement ofthe waters will require much
more time and greater pOpul tion than at pre-
tent exits, no objection !houid be mad 10 the
road on that account, but OH the other hand
ihond act as ftimulus, becaufe by its ufe po-
puation and wealth will be rapidly compound
ed, and the wafer communication will be the
toOner eitabliihed.
