Mr.. Packer, will answer the Senator
from tie city. am in favor of the frst
section Of the amendment of the Senator
from Franklin-that portion Of the anenf.
ment which reduces the tax on all freight
from % cents per ton, to three mills Der
ton per mile. l am also in favor Of that
part Of it which reduces the tax on sseh
passenger from fifteen to ten cents. There
may be parts of the amendment, which
after examination and discussion, I will
not approve Of, but as at present advised.
l prefer the amendment to the oriRinal
bill. Sir, l am in favor of Q tax for Ssys.
nue.; but not "one cent for tribute"-nok
one cent for the interdiction Of tzade b.
tween the public works of Pennsylvanis,
and those leading to the city Of Baltimore.
l hold it to be in every point of view
against the interest Of the State, - we'll =
unwise, ungenerous and impolitic in The
extreme. 1t is against the spirit Of our
institutions.
Mr.. Speaker, it may be said that the
Pennsylvania Railroad will have 4 monop.
oily of the western trade by the extension
of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railrosd
from Pittsburg, west An examination Of
the system of Railways in the State Of
Ohio, now in operation, and about to be
put in operation, will show the fallacv Of
this argument. The Pennsylvania and
Ohio Railroad runs from Pittsburp to
Beaver, to Alliance through Massillon and
Wooster, and connects with the Cleaye.
land and Cincinnati Railroad, seventy.tvo
miles from Cleaveland. The distance by
this route between Pittsburg and Cipcin.
natl is $40 miles. The Central Ohio
Railroad commences at Wheeling, passing
through GAINESVILLE, Newark, Columbus
and Xenia, to Cincinnati the distance be.
tween Wheeling (the terminus of the Bal.
timore and Ohio RailroaI and Cincinnati
by this line is 259 miles, making differ.
ence of 50 miles in favor of the baltimore
and Ohio route, which is equal to the dis
tance between Baltimore and Philadelphia.
or, in other words, makes Philadelphis -
near to Cincinnati, BY the Baltimore and
Ohio route, as by the Pennsylvanis aud
the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroads.
As Cincinnati is the great focus of tzade
on the Ohio river, l have carefully COM
pared to the distances that city frem Phila.
delphia by the various routes leading thro'
Pennsylvania and Ohio, and also by the
routes through Maryland, Virginia, and
Ohio, to which l ask the attention Of Sen.

The distance from Philadel.
pnia to Cincinnati by Bal.
timore, Wheeling, and
Central Ohio Railroad,
through Columbus, exclu-
sively by Railroad, is 739 miles,
Showing difference of only two miles
in favor of the Pittsburg route from Pbila-
delrhia to Cincinnati BY Railroad, and Of
ninety-five miles in favor of Baltimore bv
the Wheeling route.
But, sir, the route most to be feared by
Pennsylvania is that by way of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad to Parkersbure,
and from Belpre, "a point on the Ohio riv.
er opposite to Parkersburg,) by vay Of
Chillicothe to Cincinnati. Charters have
been granted by Virginia and Ohio for
both these roads-and a late Cincinnati
paper before me states that
Cincinnati has at last gained what she
has contended for-the chartered right to
the real and absolute Straight Line rail-
road, from the tide water to st. Louis.
The Virginia charter to Parkersburg, will
add from twenty. five to fifty per cent 70
the value of the Belpre charter.
"From the Three Forks Of Tye,rt's
river to Cincinnati is at least iifty miles
less than by the Wheeling route and no.
thing, therefore, can prevent the straiehs
line route from becoming the great thor
oughfare Of passengers across the conti-
nent. We may add that, for the sams
reasons, the northwestern railroad will add
largely to the value Of stock in the Ohio
and Mississippi railroad, and all these lines
being links of one great route"
