rs. ,xor,bv Editor of the Baltimore Gazette
onyb, ~ have known, that the Canal, from the
Point of Rock, 10 TIE Seneca Falls. Is entirely
u.eles, until il is continued to the feeder at Har-
per's Ferry.
If we were inclined TO prophecy, we should
much rather hazard our skill on the probability
that the Railroad viii benefit by the Canal, than
the Canal by the Railroad.
This feyerish excitement on the part OF our
Baltimore friends, whenever the subject OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is Introduced. shows
yery plainly the real state Of the case. WeplaIn,
people have not vet learned the art OF P.D1ag
scheme into existence, and then OF P,B:ag its
continued progress We are content to let our
Canal speak for itself.
