the country shall The opening of the Tide Wate
Canal, and the completion of theEsusquehanna railroad
may be considered, epsch in the affairs of Baltimore
Before the introduction of the waters of the
Mississippi required least ninety days TO make
voyage to New Orleans and back to LOUISVILLE the con
sequence that heavy merchandise and grocene;
came Baltimore the nearest seaport and were car
red in wagons on the National road to Wheeling and
Pittsburg.-The agent, Steam, has diverted that
Grade to New Orleans and the trade of Baltimore has
ceased to advance as IL would have done.
In addition to this for decline, suspension
of business in Baltimore the construction of the great
Canal by New York and the Canal and rail roads OF
Pennsylvania have placed those cities nearer what is
equivalent thereto, has reduced the cost of ansporta-
zion from New York to Philadelphia to open with the
transportation from Baltimore to points in the West,
which but for hose improvements would have received
their supplies from us.
The completion of the Tide Water Canal and the sus-
Ouehanna Rail road, contributes to eqaiise the trade of
Baltimore Philadelphia and New York But this is the
smallest part of the benefits TO flow from the completion
of those works The struggle for the means of constuc-
con will cease and the public mind will now be permit

that the only means Of security herself the benefit of
her natural position, finish the Baltimore and Ohio
Ral road and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. These
are the only lines by which she can regain and
mand the Western trade and when these shall be
peted, and until theH, will Baltimore become what
she is destined to be, the first city this continent
