told by Pittsburgh, you shall give us more or Penn
sylvania will not accept that which you have al
ready conferred upon her. Such threats will do
Blu. little with The Virginia Legislature and rather
prejudice their claims in future. Pittsburgh has
fallen into the sad mistake, or rather would have
her Legislature to fall into it, of supposing that
Wheeling can control Virginia Virginia will pro-
tect US and aid us she has ever generously done,
but she would turn deaf an ear to our dictatou,
were we rash enough to attempt such course, as
she would to the menace of Pittsburgh herself so
that that city need not fatter herself obtaining
her ends by such appliances, those which she is
now seeking to bring to bear upon this question:
She can do better even by continuing to send her
inuGids TO Richmond to recruttheir health, during
the session of our Legislature, though she should
be more careful in future not to suffer them TO
leave in bad weather, as they may suddenly lose
all health and vgur acquired by winters resi-
dence in that very pleasant city. Misunderstanding
ly admit that the Hempfeld Road is very important
TO city, but its importance to us sinks into in
significance when compared with its Importance
TO Philadelphia, the Central Road, and to the State
of Pennsylvania. We should much regret to see
the Hempfeld Road retarded or impeded by any
restrictions such as those proposed by the Senate
committee but it is Pennsylvania question to be
decided by the Legislature Of that State according
10 its judgment; but we may be pardoned for say
ing to the friends of this road in Pennsylvania to
the friends of Philadelphia and to the friends of
the Central Road, that they should not suffer
themselves to be caioled into the belief that such
restriction as that proposed, will cause Wheeling
to withdraw her opposition to the Pittsburgh and
Steubenville application, or that Virginia would
sanction it, even were our opposition withdrawn.
There is but voice on this question in our CITY,
and however much we should regret the failure of
the Philadelphia subscription, should console
ourselves that the act was Pennsylvania, and
that she, far more than we, would be the sufferer
from so unfortunate effort to make her prosperi-
ty, and that of her costly road, and her beautiful
city, depend upon the legislation of foreign State
upon question which has no connection or de-
pendence the act of Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-
vania must act for herself in this matter, she will
feel the consequences either for good or evil
While we do not for moment entertain the opin-
ion, that SO arbitrary an act of injustice to herself
or her citizens will be perpetrated by Pennsylvania
we have deemed it not improper to say to the
friends of this subscription that no change what
ever will be produced upon our action, by the
proposed restriction and that up this time we have
heard no voice dissenting from this opinion.
