Here. Mr. Editor, have the oT,iuinn OF
gentleman, whoi is M partisan, that there
!. danger of the trade uf Virginia, going
down the vullcy 10 BalImorr and that
Baltimore stands ready 10 construct the
rond to convey this trade 10 her Port.
Th, opinion is well ioundetl--thai "siron !.
commercial necessity" which Mr.. Segar
mentions as so potent an agent, would
hnild these roads. The symparhies of the
valley have ever been with Baltimore,
which has been ala ays HER market.
The debates ofour Legislature. ior sew
cral wears past, would sivc abundant owl
dence of the existence of such opinions.
but | conceive. that have sufficiently
proven that the views referred T.. arr.
not 'the absurd machinalioas Of disor
dcred fancy" hch S. would make them
out to lie. S. thinks HAT The argum,n u
the Committee of 2 is "a conclusive re-
flra,ion Of the objection under considrra-
lion" He qnoies that argument, which
may be thus briefly stated. lst that trade
will go to the nearest market liy the short
e>t route; and %. thai trade nhhors tran
shipments. | am ready to grant that these
considerations wall control trade. when
there are not weigbtier considerations To
countcract them. But wenced no revra
ton in teach us the influence of large cities.
