EXTRACT Of a letter from a Distinguish
ci individual IF Pam. 70 has friend IN ih"
place:
upon reference TO a late number of the
'Balt. American you will SEE an extract from
a Philadelphia paper containing a letter from
Pittsburgh stating that by the late legislature
at liarrisburgh "the charter Of the Pittsburgh
and Conn,lls,ill lie Railroad is revived, and by
a Encsse, the onerous portion Is repealed M
der a title respecting The poor Of Erie county
aud that bcols Cor subscription ofstock will DC
opened under this struggled section.
The American" then quotes from the Pitts
burgh papers of the 2nd instant, an advertise
ment Of the Commissioners appointing times
aud places TO receive Subscriptions TO the cap
iisl stock Of the proposed revived Pittsburgh
and Conceivable railroad. to DC extended to
the State linc-thuS attempting by a "fncsse'
or a section smugglcd into d bill OF no kindred
subject, at the l,se OF the session. many mem
bcrs being absent, the defeat OF the dohbcra'c
policy and settled judgmcn, of the general as
scmbly, declared in the law then just passed
in relation to the righ, oil way" to Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company.
But will capitalists venture their funds in
a &c concern enacted and revived under such aus.
picesl Will even the actors themselves, Pitts
burgh and Pittsburghcrs do it? | DO not be-
lieve it..
Much less 10 | apprchcnl that Baltimore
will subscribe under any circumstances. The
act thus procured and thus. circumstanccd can
not be maintained in the future legislation of
the state, even with Pennsylvania subscribers;
and il the work b. thus attempted by foreign
aid, the overthrow would only be the more
soon and signal.
Under the most just AMI fair circumstances
OF law il is believed that the citizens OF Pitts
burgh could not make a subscription APPROACH
inS $1,000, 900, which this work will require.
How, then, shall it be supposed, that they
will do - under the guarantee ct a section
acknowledged TO be tho result Of a 'fnesse'
a cunning a%rliicc, a trick. a fraud upon the
Legislature and the Commonwealth I'm.
possible.
Neither, in my opinion, will capitalists Of
other States however Iutcrcsted commercially,
entur their subscriptions into so obvious
aud so great risk, and | have no belief, tina,
Baltimore OF Pittsburgh, or both united, will
have anything TO 10, with the construction OF
this road under The circumstances OF the case.
