No. WILL
To THE MERCHANTS OF BALTIMORE
This resolution of the Baltimore Board fully explaped
in former numbersl under which the great
purposes OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were aan
u9ea ana 1svoN ed still occupies its place on the min
uti' oil the company in triumphant and nsolent repose
II was palmed upon facile and uninquiriug committee
by master spirits who knew well its potency to SHIELD
them IN the abuse of their powers and perpeuate then
system of commercial snoation.
that resolution of the Committee is but an advanced
picket to guard the spoliaons these policy from
all interruption 1t is their Gbraitar-at insulting
and controlling the commerce of Baltimore; and long
continues on the minutes it subugates this city to
ruinous and debasinG tribute ts although not in so
many words resolution to surrender to the distant city
Of Philadelphia the rich prize of for which Bal
timore has struggled so hard aud so long.
We read in the good book where Esau sold his inherit
for of potage This resolution yielded the
birthright of this city for such Esau,
toll, got the pottage; but unknown, at least untold
stomachs have kindly dsested the wretched exchang
coming to this city.
BITTERNESS INSTEAD BLESSINGS.
In vain for Baltimore has the Chesapeake grooved its
deep naygabe channels far up towards the OF the
Aleghanies. In vain did your fathers plant this city
the extreme point of its Western tides In vain have you
bowed your necks t. heavy burden Of taxation effect
perfect union with the wealth of the Mssis
sippL The tree planted in wisdom reared in labor and
heavy travail has been grated by treachery and its
fruits are ashes your lips
cannot too earnestly impress the absolute wickedness
OF this resolution. Cities have been sacked and have
been eveed to the EARTH in the accidents war Their
survived to them and in brief space the ravages
were ehaced and new dome with yet more lofty spires
have arisen, as II in mockery Of the forgotten calamity
History has, however record OF city to survive
lost commerce-the sites of such scarcely known
to geography.
HOUR FOR BALTIMORE.
II was evil hour for Baltimore when the spirit Of
speculation tempted her capitalists bonds
of the Central Ohio Railroad Company That investment
could not be made ito pay unless st the cost of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the sacrifice Of the
commercial interests Of this city. These moneyed inu
ences in pursuit Of sord gain have consped their
ormous wealth. and seized the of your
road They have led it In strange paths and to
pies and have made to minister to the worship of their
own false idolatry.

sKRTcH OF RAILROADS ENTERING CINCINNATI
There but three railroads which the corporate
limits OF Cincinnati at the present time From the East,
the Little Miami, Xenia and Columbus road strikes
through a ravine Of the Walnut Hills and reaches the
banks of the Ohio river some miles above the city 1t
there is regulated in its speed by city authority for about
four miles and gets to its depot in the outskirts of the
city.
The other roads are the Indiana and Dayton road and
the Ohio and Mississippi road the latter coming down
from the city Louis These roads valley
the Ohio river below Cincinnati and follow its ravne up
into the city.

The localities OF Cincinnati are somewhat peculiar The
walnut Hls rise just behind the city and seem to frown
upon these invading railroads the land side. Conse
quenty all railroad entrance is forced by the ravne Of
the Ohio river, either from above below the city
limits.
At the present time. Philadelphia and Baltimore each
get their access to depots within the city, by the avenues
the little Miami Railroad Th. commerce of a.cb city
enters Cincinnati on the same track and delivers at he
depot. Both cities encounter the same troubles of
municipal speed for their passengers and the same bur

present time. these rival cities equals in all the
