amount would probably be received, and would
rapidly increase from year 10 year, SO that the whole

This canal cannot be undertaken or completed by
private subscription. 1t must be executed by the
state, as the Erie and Champlan canals have been
Iby our sister state. The only questions then are,
When is it TO be done. and, w hich of our legisa-
lures will taye the honcar Of so magnificent bene
faction 10 the present and future generations? 1t is
o be hoped thai the present Legislature will seize
he golden opportunity of signallzng themselves,
Iby seriously adopting the initiatory measures, and
thereby establishing just claim to the gratitude Of
their contemporaries and OF posteiity.
The following extract from Mr.. Clarke's report
on the Junata canal, deserves the most serious Don
sideraon, and places the importance OF the subject
| in the strongest possible point Of light.
Let us suppose FIVE concentric circles, the in
nermust of which to pass round Plttsburg at thirty
miles distance and having the lands within RAISED
in value only 5 $50 per acre, and each succeeding
c,cle at the same distance from the one within 1t
by having less increase on the value OF its land
by fifty cents per acre, which would leave the outer
most circle within the supposed influence OF the ca
nal only benefited at the rate of Fifty cents per acre

extent 274l miles. There are 48 tunnels, OF which

London and Liverpool is 264 miles long-with
which, various minor canals, extending 1900 miles

whole is supposed to have amounted to between Is
and 50,000,000t. sterling.f

Upwards of one million eight hundred thousand
dollars were coined during the last year at the U
S. mint, principally in silver. New dies are about
to be cut with new figure of Liberty, by means Of
which the appearance of the coin is expected to he
much improved. II is calculated that two millions
will be coined during the present, year.

western canal with The Union Canal at Middietown

residue, at least for some years. Al an average OF

this would be only 5 100000. Suppose this sum

An enumeration Of the articles which arrived, du
northward has been published, by which it appears
that they amounted to 2,309,000 dollars In the
list there various articles omitted, hops but
ter, cheese, lard, WOOL paper, timber, sc. sc. a.
mounting to some hundred thousand dollars The
amount of merchandise sent from Albany was pro-
badly equal to the produce received there.
The tolls, on both canals, were, as we have SEEN
$4,000 dollars last year. At the most moderate
calculation, the freight by land would have been
eight times as much, or 2,480O0O doars.t Thus
a saving has been made, in freight alone, in one
year, OF above fourth part Of the whole expense OIL
both canals-that is, suPposng the produce could
have been all taken to market by land which woulc
have been impracticabe. Much Of it would have
lain useless drug on the hands Of the farmers fol
want OF a market, and much would never have beer
created but for these canals
That canal opening communication between
the waters OF the Susquehannah and the Allegheny
will be as beneficial to the State OF Pennsylvania az
the Erie canal to New York, cannot for momen
be doubted. A view Of the map Of that state will
show that not more than one third part of its popu
lation is within reach of its western canal-and al
equal proportion OF our population would be at onc
within reach of the contemplated canal. Beside
which It will command large portion of the trad
OF the states OF Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinoi
and Missouri.
The reply is simple. Pennsylvania has as great re
sources as New York had, when she began her ca
nails And it is only requisite for our legislature I
