WESTERN TRADE.


Every person. interested in the welfare
Philadelphia, must feel highly grattied
10 learn, that anumber of active and yea
lous citizens are eNertIng themselves TO
form a Company for the transportation OF
goods to Pittsburg in Wagons, to travel
da, and night, and TO perform the journey
IN seven days, and at an uniform rate ihro'
The year, considerably lower than at pre-
sent. There never was Il plan offered
here TO the public that MAS more entitled
TO patronage than the present One-none
more likely to promote the prosperity of
our city. Should it be carried into ope-
ration, as we hope ii will, the beneficial
effects will be felt by the whole commu-
nifty. Some narrow minded people be-
lleve tllatit concerns those alone who are
engaged In the western trade. This is a
great error. The merchant who exports
the flour and other productions of the
country, Is deeply interested i'll a project
which will draw to our market The cOpious
stores of the western world, at a freight
not much beyond the former freight from
York to Lancaster. And is not the man
ufacturer, whosesuppori depends on work
my up the raw materials of his native land
equally interested in plan which will
perhaps in many instances double the "a
mount OF those articles exposed here for
sale Furiher-is not the proprietors Of
lots and houses deeply interested in a plan
by which the trade ofthe city will be not
only insnred from decay, but greatly in
creased! In a word, there is not one of
our citizens, from the highest grade 10 the
lowest, who will not feel the beneficial
effects Of this grand scheme, should it sue
coed.
Never was the trade of Philadelphia
expos, d to greater danger than a present
and of course never was there period
when exertions we're more imperiously
called for 10 preserve it. Large portions
OF the western country, formerly DEEPEN
dent on Philadelphia, now derive Their
supplies from New Orleans And fhe deci-
: " advantages Baltimore possesses, from
tie difference in distance, and conse-
quently in the rate of freigits, are grad
ually undermining our trade. 1t therefore
believes our citizens to patronize this
laudable undertaking, in order to ward
off the serious and alarming dangers by
which we are menaced philadepha
once stood proudly pre-cminent, as the
first city in the United States for enter
prize and public spirit. But how, alas
are Tie mighty fallen She is now, pro.
