aversion to him, and having been reasonable

him as an enemy of the Royalsts. In the

glowing picture of Pittsburg-
"pittsburg presents all the busy activity
Of an extensive and fourishing metropolis,
and although many hundred miles from the
ocean, the sound of the axe, the hammer, and
the caulkmg mallet, is as familer to the ears
of its inhabitants, as it is to those who live in
seaport towns. Indeed ship-building seems
to lie in peculiarly fiourishing state in this
transmontane capital.
The rapid increase of Pttsburg, does not
afford the solitary satisfaction, that we have
a city in the west so populous and SO enter
prising that is, indeed, gratifying to our
state prite---it is a theme for national exulta-
ton; but the immense population of that
manufacturing city, affords an immediate
and profitable market for the production of
the farms in its vicinity, and indeed in all the
neighbouring counties; so that every new in
habitant that Pittsburg receives, may be con-
sidered as giving an additional value to the
lands i'll the west. by extending the demands
for the production. We have once express
sed our hope, that some of those who COM

would run the risk of making their fortune.

by means OF which the weight OF an ordinary gig is
diminished two hundred pounds, and post coach,
about four hundred. Another advantage derived
from this invention consists IN the ease II gives TO
the motion of the carriage. A person may read
while riding over pavement, with almost as much
facility as while in his room. Thus much we can
