He then writes lengthy article based
upon The following erroneous presumption
-"lhe tendency of trade is TO move 10
the East and The Norh"-ahd says that
il is the interest Of Cincinnati to cou-
slruct roads 10 The West aud South and
let the East and North meet them at the
city.
Ii is not fixed fact that Cincinnati
must be The centre ofrailway connections,
and by an uuwise paliey she may allow
some other points toobtain this desirable
location.
II is not a fixed facL that Cincinnati
he's no interest in the trade Of the conn
ties Of southern, suutll. western aud west
eru Ohio. She can by offering equal in
ducements with the eastern cities obtain
much of this trade, and no man at
all acquainted with this sectien'of the
country would deny the value OF it TO
the city.
The tendency Of trade has been to
move towards the East aud North. be-
cause these points have hitherto offered
superior Inducements, but the moment
that Cincinnati affords equal inducements
both to sellers and buyers, tae section OF
country spoken Of above will necessarily
on account of nearness To his market,
make it their place Of business.
The counties of Perry, Fairfield, Pick
away Fayette aud Clinton, through which
the proposed road will pass, present a
very desirable and profitable trade to
those who wish to enjoy it, to say nothing
Of the advantages which the road will
possess in being The shortest, and if we II
constructed the best route from Cin1ln-
natl to the East In this case but little
is asked of the city. If we are properly
! informed, the counties themselves will
build nearly the entire road, but at the
same time i; would afford some satisfac-
ton to know that the city wants us to
come there and that all her citizens are
not so Indifferent about the matter as I'll
lncognito,"
If the communication in the Gazette
proves anything, it proves tha, it is not
to the interest Of Cincinnati to have rail
roads constructed to that city from the
East and North, as it may have ten
dency to draw trade from it, If this ap
prehension is founded upon sufficient
grounds, of course the city should hesi
tate before it couutenances any such en-
terprizes. butif as we suspect the writer
is better acquainted with the beauties o
Goldsmith than with the haggard laws o
trade. many of thuse who are interested
in the prosperity Of the Queen City
will hold to a different opinion. At any
rate. we eau assure him that we have NJ
. idea of drawing the Legitimate trade o
that city to Lancaster, though we do live
