For instance, all ,cloths; whether'the original cost was sl',oo or $lO,OO per yard, would have the same ape cifth duty jil'ied'on them by the whigs. All boots and shoes, whether costing 50 cents or $5,00 the pair, would be fisted in like manner. The plain, inevitable effect of this system is, that the' poorest man in community) who purchases a-course - piece of cloth or a cheap pith. 'of shoes, would have to pay the same dety upon them, to support Government, as. the wealthy nabob, who wears fine English broad- Cloth and French boots. .But the whole object of vibig legislation, since the organitation - of our Gov ernment, has been, to "make the rich richer and the poor poorer."

The tell.now levied u'pOil coal is greatly below that charged upon any' improvement in the Union ; and a comparative statement of the prices Charged upon other improVements, is given to prove this: The Report says: Notwithstanding; however ' the' oceasienal MUT.: murs of hpartion or the coal diggers of the upper. end of our improvement, we are most happy to be enabled to state, that;with the increase of:the loeal trade r iind thp-tievelopment of tho great ' agricultural - ssitlmiteral'fiihniteS of-the valley, the work has been adVaneing'steadily tartfiffiiillyvOtitthe dwel lets along the river, end has already, sufficiently re futed the calumnies of the interested, and lived down the predictions of its enemies.' • It is expected that the improvement of the Yough iogheny, will add to the revenues of the Company. The immense region of country whichthis improve ment will open upi.o the Pittsburgh and south-west , ern market, is not: surpassed in fertility of soil or mineral resources by any, other in the State. Tho coal of that river hair always been distinguished for its excellence, and is finindall along its banks, ex- feting in <a strata of from fiiro to‘elesen feet in thick ness:. -Passing, as it necessarily will, through two locks, and 'paying toll upon, some seventeen mileeof our improvemetit, it will pay tribute to our work to an extent that will insure from its most valuable ad dition to our revenue . . We copy , the conclusion of the Report: There is another armee, however, to which it, is , thought-thincompany may look with great COlA deoce,tot a further addition to its revenues, and that as from - the perspective extension of the work- to ivarda the bead. of the Monongahela itself. It is knave to the stockholders, that by an' act passed - at the lastiession of the Legislature, the Board 'Were authorized to' open booker& subscription in the sere nal counties along the river, for the'-special purpose of extending the improvement to the Virginia State line, and with a proviso that the proiceds of the new locks Should constitute p separate fund for, the exclusive benefit of the subscribers, until the old work. should be relieved from the debt incurred in their construction.' In conformity with this act, book, were opened underthe direction of the Board, in the menthe of May and June, but without meet ing with saiy.degree of encouragement.; the failure' ; did riot, however, arise so much from any want of interest on the part of the people, , as from a scarcity, oftnoney, Which generally exists agricultural dis tricts. Great and laudable,anxiety, however, was' manifested among the people residing above Browns vilie,.for the extension of the wort4and it was sug gested that an applicationlwould probably be made to the Legislature to authorize a corporate subscription till the part of the county of Greene, With the es pectatioo thatthe,capitalists of Pittsburgh would fur.. pith any balance that might be required. his appa rent, that while the prolongation or the work tu the Virginia line would afford a,, outlet to the entire County of Greene and a large portion of Fayette, and thus increase the revenues of our work, it would and very materially, at, the same time, to the rapidly augmenting trade of Pittsburgh, and t herefore, pre sents-the highest chains Upon the consideration of tier citizens'. But the advantages would not stop there.. If the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compa ny shall proceed with their improvemeot, in the di rection.whicksteems whose beenfinally agreed 'opti on, farther extension of our work will bring it in to direcitonneetion with that important avenue o f commerce, and enable us to draw off a side stream of trade anti travel in the direction of Pittsburgh, which would render any (holier extension of that, road, if not unnecessary, at least altogether improb. able. There is much; therefore, to encourage the hope that the. means will be provided , ivithin a teas , finable time,for the construction of so importantan ' adjunct to the existing works of the Company. Upon the whole, we think that there is abundant reason to congratulate the stockholders upon the general condition and proapects cif the, Company,' without reference to any of the changes or chances of a distant future. The mineral treasures within our reach, swollen ea they will be inevitably, by the rich, tribute of the Youghiogheny valley s are almost ' boundless in their extent, apd may be considered in themselies as more than adequate to supply any de mand which can be made upon them ; and yet it is almost impossible for the human imagination to as sign limits to the demand which is sure to be created by the wants of the Mississippi valley in an article so essential to the comfort of its inhabitants. It must, in the nature of things, be as limitless as the growth'of that mighty region, which is destined to be the home of so , many Millions of freemen, and will, io the industry it will stimulate, and the wealth it will insure to the dweliers epee the Ittonongahm la,-reflect a lasting honor upon the wisdom which projected,and the enterprise which achieved,through gteat difficulties,and trials, a scheme of such exten ded usefulnes •' as that of the Slack water of the Monengahela river.
