Making total of 100000
For the transportation Of the productions OF this
population and of the countries it occupies, and OF
articles in exchange Tor them, the tolls OF the New
York canal expected to be very large and these
Expectations are fully authorized by the industry
and enterprise of those who are thus to be enabled
to partake of the vast advantages that such work
opens 10 all who can approach it.
Let US now contemplate the vast extent Of the
country, the numerous population, and the advsn-
ced stale of improvement among those who will
make use Of A WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
CANAL, which will enable them to convey their
productions 10 the Philadelphia Baltimore mar
ket.
A few remarks may be permitted before those
particulars are exhibited. 1t is well known that
the market of New Orleans, Notwithstanding the
facilities Of to it, and Of return from it by
steam boats has tor some years been runous to all
who have resorted to it, from the states OF Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri and also from the
upper part oil Kentucky, and those parts OF Virgin
ia which are watered by the Kenhawa. The chief
of this disastrous state OF things have been,
that they are always retarded in their efforts TO de-
scend the river, by the longer continuance OF win
ter among them than in more southern latudes
and by the shallowness of the water in dry ;
and that they are therefore anticipated in the mar
ket by those, who, residing lower down the Missis.
sippi enabled 10 pour in their productions al the
hrst opening OF the season, and to continue to send
their supplies, when the navigation in the rivers
Ohio and Wabash is suspended. The nature of
the climate OF New Orleans is such to compel
he immediate sole OF almost all the productions of
ag, culure; and thus those who resort 10 that
Set Obliged speedily to dispose OF their proper
~ or 10 expose it to waste and spoil; and there
lore they frequently become the victims oil specu-
alton and monopoly, the obvious consequences of
,uited markets.
BY all the inhabitants oil the states which have
been enumerated, an Atlantic mark IS most anx |
ously desired; and they will all hasten TO avail
themselves OF such market, the moment ii shall
DC opened to them.
II is a circumstance we'll deserving Of notice and
consideration, that the distance Of OHIO Indiana, OF
many parts Of Missouri, of Illinois, and OF more
han one half Of Kentucky, and the north western
econ OF Virginia, from Philadel phia and Bat-
more by means OF the Pennsylvania canal, is in
ew cases greater than from those countries to New
orleans and III some considerably less.

When the rich and various productions of the
western states--the tobacco and hemp of Kentucky
and VrgiuIa--the fuls and lead Of Missouri-the
graln OF all descriptions which abounds in Ohio and
the other states, taken into consideration and
the large quantities OF manufactures and merchan-
disc which they require, and which the inhabitants
lot those countries have ample ability to purchase,
ale added to the estimate, may it not be asserted
that the tolls on the Pennsylvania canal for the sup
ply OF those parts OF Union will be nearly twice
as great as those on the New York canal? If the
tolls collected from the New York canals will
amount in one year to 100000, in the same period
the receipts on the Pennsylvania canal will probably
be at least one mitlion Of dollars, an interest OF
hive per cent upon capital OF tuelay millions Of
dollars.
Should the Pennsylvania canal be the work of the
commonwealth, Of of incorporated individuals
This is question OF great and permanent interest
