The Speech of Mb- Stokes, relating to the
Pennsylvania IP. E. depot, which we publish
this morales, has crowded out of this day’s pa
per a large ajpount and variety of editorial and
'selected articles. We presume this speech will
he read with interest by our citizens.
x Tlffl IBOS TiIADE.
Including the Pacific Railway, which mustero
long he built, WO have now projected and in pro
cess of construction in the United Statos, about
13,000 miles of Railroad. ......
Calculating 100 tamper mile, single track,
and it trill require 1,800,000 Una of iron rail to
: complete.’these roads; which, at SSU per ton,
makesan outlay .of $65,000,000; and that too
for rails of single track roads alone. But many
of these roads will be ■’double tracks, besides.’
turnouts &o. Then follows a vast outlay for
cars, locomotives, and other iron works about
such roads.: And it may he fairly estimated that
all the iron for them will cost not less than
$150,000,000.
Ocqannnd inland steamers, iron ships, manu
faoturing machinery,'iron buddings, and all the
other innumerable uses to which iron ia applied
will require 3B much more; making an aggregate
auto demandfors3oo,ooo,ooo worth of iron. Be
dsides which, r mony other railways will he charter
ed and undertaken every year, to keep up a
steady demand to that amount fof many years to
come } if not to a constantly increasing amount.
In Europe there is on equally large demand
for iron for similar purposes. The Yonkers
Herald, in view of these facts, osks, whero is
all the iron"ta‘come from!. Whose ore-beds,
furnaces, forges, and rolling mills are to be
pushed -with -dally and nightly aotivity, and
whose industry and skill are to reap the profits
of iron garbing and gearing these vast agencies
for developing! .the commerce; of the world?
England and the. United States stand foremast
' for the bid—England first, by reason of her cap-,
ital and ago, and her longer enterprise in the
mino and at the forge ; the United States second,
and rapidly -gaining on her great rival- Eng- 1
land and the United States.now furnish and me
prepared to, furnish more iron than all the rest
of the-world; bat it would seem that all theirs
with all other resources, can scarcely meet the
•demand of the railway, steamer and factory inter-
ests or this wonderful ago. > .
The -United Staterought to he independent of
the world on tho score of Iron. She has oro
;beds of unsurpassed quantity .and quality,. scat
tered all through her length and breadth. Site
has ample coal mines to firo a million furnaces
and forges if necessary, and she has abundant
labor and shill to turn her ores into iron—the
very best of iron.
Bat it will be remembered that in Europe
about the same number of miles of railway arc
projected andin progress of construction; and
an equal and .eyon greater demand for iron for
other uses,-
Tho iron manufactured in Europe, then, will
he principally required for European demand;
. Comparatively asmall portion of it can bo ex
ported to this country.. -
If these data and figures are correct,• the Iron
Trade and ■ iron: manufacturers of this country
"have a continued and'sura demand before them
for from 250 to $300,000,000 worth of their
fibricks: and a demand that will require all; and
more than all their capacity to supply fast
enough.
- The iron business of this country must be
good and profitable at present prices, and must
continue so for a long time to come. Ho branch
- of enterprise and industry, it seems to as, ever
had more encouraging prospects. •
It Trill be seen by the following, that the
northern part of our State is soon to bo " open
ed out” by railroads. The railroads below spo-
Iten o f will form a line of roods from Hew Torfe
city to the West, ranting about three hundred:
and eighty miles across the northJiaif of Penn
sylvania. ,
The Allegheny Valley Railroad will meet this
line of,.roods at Ridgeway, and thus, will bo
.opened a direot railroad rente from Pittsburgh
to Hew York city. -

almost a straight line from Cleveland to'Now

with the Allegheny Valley Roadi, which oonnects
. with-: tho Erie Road at LittVn Valley, giving a

that ;th6 Venango Railroad will be completed
with one track, and also bridged and graded for
a double track, in the fall of 1854. TheMahon

POPULATION OP THE: GRAVE.
Under this head , the' Merchant's Ledger has
somo very carious and interesting calculations.
It estimates the average of American births
per second, for the last eighteen hundred and
■fifty three years, at about 815, This would make
the whole number of human being s who have
lived since the birth of Christ, about thirty-two
thonsand millions.
Deducting from this number the nine hundred
and Bixty millions, who form the -present popu
lation of tho globe, and it leaves the number, of
thirty- one thousand and forty: millions that have
gone to tho grave.
Of this nnmher, the estimate is that nine thou
sand millions have died by wars.
> .Eight thousand millions by famine and pes
tilence.
five hundred millions by martyrdom.
■ - Five hundred'and eighty millions by intoxica
ting drinks.
- rThirteeni thousand millions natural or other
wise.
By this estimate it will bo seen that war and
strong drink have sent one third of the human
race to a premature grave.

that purpose.

and repairing both care and oDgines for the western division
of tho rood. With this view. In which the other officers of
I the Company agreed with, nu>, tbo plot of ground in question

A. States, Ajww—Dear Sir j In answer to your enqui
ries respccllug the disadvantages to.which the i t enusylvo'
nla Raliroad Co, would bo saljcctad by opening tho streets
through their property, ia the Math Ward, I beg leave to
state—
That, os (lie City of Pittsburgh forms tho Westers term!*
nns of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the accommodation of j
the business of the finished road at-that place will require,
'arrangementsof » very extensive character.
It b not unreasonable to suppose that If taxes and tn}u* J
rioas restrictions removed,the bunbessof tl>e i
road, when Us Westcra ccnncctkms are completed, may bo i
increased re one million of taus per annum. The number i
of cars which the business would require would be about;
7500, which. If extended upon ridings, would extend 48 i
miles. Of these, a large proportion must be frequently i
concentrated at Pittsburgh, and eight miles of sidings in or;
n«ar tho city, would not appear to be too great an allowance.
The construction of these ears will Involve au expendi
ture of three millions of dollars; tho locomotives required
to haul theta will cost them as much more. The repairs
and other necessary expenses will require disbumuncsts to
the amount of over two millions of dollars unoually, the
portion of which, expended at any cr.o point, will depend
upon the amount of room and the fcdlities which tho place
affords. Philadelphia, Altoona, and Pittsburgh, are the
only points far extensive repairs and reconstruction of me*
chicory, but any difflculty In procuring tho mxreocry facil
ities at Philadelphia or Pittaborgb. would cosccutrato the
business at Altoona, and increase thedlfburrements at that
point. - .
We have now secured more than 100 arms in cad near
thedty of Philadelphia. The Baltimore end Ohio Ball rood
Company, U is undvrrtood, has a still larger extent of depot
grounds in and near Baltimore, and If tho. Pennsylvania
Railroad Company should remain In the undisputed poegex
ion ofall tho property; acquired in PiUrburgri, U will bo
scarcely sufficient for the uses of the road.
But If the grounds purchased. bv the Company, in the
Moth Ward, for tho erection of chop* and depots, and the
construction of sidings, should bo divided by streets, to Lc
kept open ns public highways, it u rearcely necessary to
state—co obvious Is the fret—that the raluo of the proper
ty tar railroad purposes. wouM IfO raUrely destroyed: tho
present expensive, buildings located upon the lino of tho
proposed street* would be removed, oihurs could sot be
erected and »there is sm pthcr bxatiop In the vklnity that
would be suitable,-U is difficult to porrelro how. it would bo
possible to coQtinue Pittsburgh as tho terminus of the road.
The Company would be compelled to seek a connection with
the Ohio River at some other point, for nil their .through
business.
We hate been disposed to attribute the agitation of this
subject to the efforts of a taw disaffected individuals, and
havo notbeltevcd It possible that ouy deposition existed on
the part cf Councils, or of the citizens generally, to dispos
sess the Company cf their Ninth Ward property by opening
streets through it, particularly as the streets, when opened,
would be of no advantage to the public, a high hill prevent*
log tho extension oftbe strata in onedirccuon, while, la a
direction parallel to ibo rlrere, the communications now ex
isting ore ample.
It appears strange that comparatively unimportant con*
sMctailon* should have boon permitted, tar a time, to dis
turb the friendly relations which should be cultivated be
tween Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Railroad Ocmpar
ny: the tntoresta of both ore to a great extent and
the benefits conferred upon . v each other mutual. Alle
gheny county generously subscribed one million to the cap
ital of the Company; but In return tar this, tho estimate* of
the western division were ehlcfly paid Id Pittsburgh,and two
millions hare probably beefl returned and circulated to Al
legheny for the one million that was subscribed.
. Tho future promise* etUi richer benefits from the comple
tion of the read and Its improvements, unless a hostile and
suicidal policy shall reject the proffered boon. Two or three
hundred families of with means of making cash
payment* for tbclr purchases, will bo no inconsiderable ad
dition to the wealth and prosperity of any city.
I have been greatly surprised that any difficulties should
bare arisen, and hare felt eonOdcnt that they could not be
of long duration. The true interests of all parties are so
obTlous that 1 think a conciliatory and paternal coarse
must and will to pursued, notwithstanding tho efforts of
individuals where private interests or disappointed expecta
tions might lead them to encourage discoru.

It has been thought unnecessary to obtain written evi
dence from Cleveland, because, doubtless, you are already
in possession of all the Intarmaiion relative to tho roads at
that point This town, a rival of Pittsburgh, has riven to
tho Railroad companies all the tacllltles which they re
quired, and Is now reaping the results in.an enormous trade.
Her Interpsta she dooms, and finds to be, the interests of her
railroads. . - -
The opinions of able and experiouood moo all agree tbnt
the space already occupied, by tho Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, is not more than sufficient But is it not evident
that, although nominally you .may opon these streets, you
cannotdo it really? .The attempt injurious to the Compa
ny, would to dangerous to the lives of your constituents.
Suppose tho buildings tom down and tho street oponed,
would you not thus sot a trap tor the lives of the citizens of
Pittsburgh? Would you—would any man in his senses at
tempt to walk or drive through* street, throe hundred feet
in length* full of linos of railroad tracks crowded with care,
end on which locomotives ora constantly passing to and fro,
so that in the endeavor .to shun one danger, you would bo
constantly rushing into tho jaws of another: Who is to an
swer for the liTes.whlcb must to sacrificed, if theso streets
are oppned? And what is the object of opening theso streets?
To reach the basoof a precipice three hundred feotinhci?ht,
up which no vehicle can to drivou, and ipost of which is
impracticable on foot. I submit, with great respect, that
the Councils of lUttsbnrgh, by opening these streets, instead
-of advancing the .interests of those, who sent them here,
would bexottlng a snare tar tho lives of their constituents,
and exposing women, children, tho ignorant and those who
most need protection, to extreme peril. .Suppose tho Rail
road company bad no occasion tar tho ground over wblch
these paper streets pars. Would not common humanity
direct that as the only means of averting inevitable danger
and protecting life, that they should to closed? I submit
thatovenwere not the interest of thoßailroad, or the prosper
ity of this thrivlngcity involved.the streets should remain un
opened, and the danger consequent upon the postage
through them to avoided* I will not dotain you by any
Ulßcusstanon the letters which I have read, because they
aro tacts which none competent to judge will dispute. They
aro a loaf out of railroad oMory, and true philosophy teach
ing by example.
Now, gewtfomen, candor compels me to say, that if you
open these streets you will drive the road from Pittsburgh
The task Ison unpleasant one, but it is my duty to perform
It, and I say that to open these streets would render it im
possible tar the road to fulfil tho obligations incurred to
wards Pbjjpdolpbio, Allegheny county, aud tho dtixens of
Pittsburgh—nay, towards the whole State of Pennsylvania; '
end-if, by the coaetmept of thia nrdjaanpp. you drive out
tho railroad, what do you gain? Bo not lot me bo misun
derstood. Tho Company desires, and Is bound by overy
prindplo of good (kith, to consult the interests of tho city
of Pittsburgh. Itwßldo so with steady perseverance and
entire devotion, unless you doprive it of the means. If wo
are baulsbed. It U by your eentence—a seuteUco pronounced
by refusing necessary, and. executed by opening
theso streots,
To open thoto streets would to to cut. op qur buJUJngs—
to prenrat-tha care from having sufficient standing room—
to interfere with the free passage of tho workmen and con
nexion of machinery from shop to shop; and wo would thus
be put In the position of either violating the duty that we
owe to the people* whoso will has called this rood into ex
istence, or- of rezrnvisg this Depot from Pittsburgh. If we
depart front you,-It must to by your own act—on act wblch
wo would lament and deplore, and which you would never
cease to regret* when regret would he unavailing; hut we
'Stustdoit,-tarwph&rpnoa|torsatlvp. Weowp It to our
selves—to thp County ot AUeghepyr-to the whole State—
and you will observe that the County of Allegheny, not the
City of Pittsburgh, hnx taken stock in this road; thus,
though we are bound.to como Into the city with the road*
we are not hound to erect our depots and workshops in any
part of the dty of and would fully comply with
narduhr to the County by building them In any other port
of it we are now in your city* where we should to. This

and I hold here In my hand indubitable evidence of the
fact, in the signatures of a largo majority of the resident
freeholders of ibe Mmh Ward, have petitioned your
honorable body, to vacate these streets. Pardon me, while
I raod it. for it is well worthy of your attention.
“ To tho Select Committee of tho Select and Common Conn-

“ Gsxrmrrs,—We, the undersigned citizen? and property
holders In tbs blnUj Ward] .■would respectfully submit for
your favorable consideration the following reasons for the
vacating of tbo crora streets and Sassafras alley, which are
occcupiod or proposed to be occupied by the Pennsylvania
Ball road Company.
« Ist We believe tbnt the cald Railroad Is of the utmost
Importance to the ciiy generally, and that every flung
should be done by thadty to accommodate and facilitate it
In the discharge of tl* legitimate business.
* l 2d- And as the said company state that b noecssarv for
U:em to hate tbe» streets, (which wera awarded -to them
along with the rest of their ground.) in order to erect their
buildings and lay their numerous tracks, we arc grilling to
surrender the right to have the Streets opened on account
of the great and important advantage It will be.to our ward,
which b mostly unimproved, in baring these extemure
workshops, erected- For If the dly disturb the com pa
oy in the quid and peaceful enjoyment of the whole cf the
ground awarded to them, by opening these streets, they ciay
be drives away to other places, and thus lose the adrsnt-
highly raloablo Improvements,
i 2d- And are of the belief that tho opening of these streets
i would be but little if any benefit to any one, as they lead
i to the foot of ft precipice ofa hill up the direct face of which
i a? plm> tom over be made. If streets are necessary to get
i across to the hUI ride, the only practical undo would be to
[ r«an ooq street from tho westemdda of tberailroadgznund,
i inclining up Mil euvlwardly, and another street start from
I the eastern Fide of the railroad, inclining up tho hill west-
I wardly, meeting near to top of ih® hill, thus an easy eg ess
ami ingms would be had to any part of tho bill rids.

late farther improvement in oar new aodbatlJttle improv

chanics and laborers with both the necessaries and iuxur*
Ira of life.
41 For these and other reasons that might ho enumerated,
[ and which we consider vitcj to tho rapid growth and Im
provement of our ward, wo most urgently and respectfully
beg that Iho Comm* ttce will report favorably to vacating
these, as wo think, unneccsasry street*.”
Signed by a large number of property holders.
You can examine for yourselves gentlemen, tbo name* of
[ theso signer*. among which you will find eoraoof tho largest'
property holders in tho Ward.
If any Individual will bo Injured by vacating these
streets, he has his remedy ol law, and the courts will en
force that remedy. Hence this is a legislative, sot a Judi
cial qcration. The latter we are ready to meet when pro
perly presented before the proper tribunal.
We could not, and wiQ not Injure tbo Pennsylvania Hos
pital raQoding to'a remonstrance from the Pennsylvania
Hospital, which had been presented by General Moorhead,
against the vacation of these streets,] —the Pennsylvania
Hospital is be rend any of tho ground touched on by tbo
road, and nothing but ntfsapprefconrionof our fcru» object*
eonld have induced the remonstrance. .
{.The gentleman then exhibited a plan, prepared at the
I instance of thft cUUcna of tho Mnth ward, pointing oat a
modo of obtaining access to the hill abero tho Kailfoad
grounds, by running two streets up in the form of the Tet
ter A, Instead Of going directly up the steep side of the
bluff, j . -
I am not here to grguo a question aq to fha interests of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company simply, but necessarily
I of railroad subjects generally, and it is for you tosvy
[ whether they shall flourish or decay. It is not to bo supposed
that tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with Its thirteen
I or fourteen millions of dollars invested in this enterprise,
I would consent to jeopardise a earn of such magnitude. No*
I ture has placed Pittsburgh in a position altogether too mag.
nifleent to permit man to triflo with her destiny. The con-
I fluent current* of commerce, uniting from tho North and
South at your very doors, should not bo diverted. Tou owe
I It to yourselves ami to the State not to divert yourselves of
I those advantages. The Pittsburgh of today, In comparison
I with tho Pittsburgh of fifty yg&rs ago, will be as compare-
I tively in significant fifty years benco, if yon malm use of the
I means placed In your h&nlsfor your own prosperity. - hear--
I ly-a century ago, General Washington, a young man, atand-
I log in tho forest at the Junction of the Allegheny and Mon-
I ongahela, predicted your destiny. He foretold what has
1 token place, but his wisdom enabled him to see that It would
I not happen except by. means of an artificial channel of com-
I munlcaiianbetwoendhe East and the West,And ho was the
I earliest projector of&road to connect the head waters of the
| Ohio with the Chesapeake Ray. Wo have <fono all that ho
I desired. Wo have given you this communication, and it
I depends on yourselves to determine tho destinies of the peo-
I plo fifty years benco—and in allfutaro time.
I .In 1784Genaral Washington wrote, In reference to the
I trade of tho West and tbo competition even then springing
lup for Its enjoyment—to Gov. Harrison of Virginia, nearly
I thus:
| • “ A people who aropossessed of aapiritcfcommcrcojwho
j see, and who will pursue their advantages* may aph|gve al-
I mast any thing. In the meantime, • under the uncertainty
I of these undertakings, they are. smoothing the roads and
I paring the way for the trade of tho Western world. That
I Now York will do tho same, no person who knows the tem
|per, genius, and] policy of these people, can harbor, the
{smallest doubt.”
| What encouragement, if you possess the true spirit of
I commerce; what an accurate estimate of the real rivalry pf
j our Northern neighbors. .
j ' General Washington proceeds; “Common policy, there*
| fora, points clearly andrtrongly tothe propriety of our on--.
j joying all the advantages which nature and our local ritua-
I Uon afford us and clearly-evinces that unless this spirit
I could bo totally eradicated in other States as well Os this,
I and every man be mode to become either a cultivator of tho
| land, ox.manufacturer of such articles aa ora prompted by
I noccsslty, each stimulus should he employed as will force
this spirit, by showing to our countrymen the juperior ad
} vantages we possess beyond others, and tho importance of
] being upon an equal footing with our neighbors.**
j | fit only remain* for me, gentlemen;, to thank you for your
l kindness, which I accept with gratitude. I have done no
| more than la the plainest language possible to lay down
I some indubitable facta, and I am glad that my friend, Hr
| Loomis, if indeed he pormUs mo to moko use of an express
| lon which does mo honor, is beretfo answer toe. We all
j know that in so largo a city as this, there will be conflicting
I Interests; but-we know, too. that private interests must bow.
I to tho public good, The policy or Washington is your true
policy. Yon enjoy (ho commanding natural position which
ho clearly perceived. It Is for you to say whether yon will
j dovdopo, la tho language of Washington, u Tub bupxsios:
ADVAXTsaza too possess strosn oTttras: u whether you re-

At tho conclusion of Mr. 6 tokos*-Address, ontpotlon, leave
was granted to the Hon. A. W. Loo&s to reply In behalf of
certain landowners who oro opposed to vacating the streets.
Mr. Looms sold that a masfrpowerfdl and ingenious argu
ment had been made os behalf of the Baflroad, and. that
while ho admitted that the subject had been treated with
great fairness, he desired to examine the question which had
been raised, and tho documents which hod been feed- He
doubted the validity of tho Act of tho Legislature, and hes
itated as to the right to vest in the Company the utlc to the.
property In question. But as ho was unprepared to disenss
the mentsor the matter, ho requested Councils to adjourn
for two weeks—he was about leaving the city and-could not
appear at an earlier day.
After some discussion this was agreed to, and leave was at
the some time granted to Tboxas WiuiASia* Esq,, who re
presents a large number of lot holders in the Ninth Word,
who ore in favor of vacating tho streets, to Councils
on their behalf and in reply te Hr, Loomis,,
