Oar neighlair of the Journal, in his paper of yea. today, in a long and elaborate article, controverts . some position's of the Gasate, in relation to the duty of the citizens of Pittsburgh in regard to our Eastern and Western Railroads. Before porceeding to- a brief reply, si.hielt we shall make, however, in a very general manner, [ .. 2.,. We wish to any„ distinctly, that we never have, and ' do not now, oppose the Central Railroad. We em phatically disclaim all Cu, It intention, We view , it with no little state pride, and watch Its progress with exceeding interest. No ate can be More anx ious for its speedy cOMpletiOU, Or mere deArnos to promote 33 desirable a result, provided it shall not thereby interfere with a work still more inaponant to Pittsburgh. We take the ground that the Central Railroad is the peculiar work of Philadelphia, it, erection con tributing mainly to her interclu, and without which 'she meat consemto take a third rate position in the list of eutern cities. That Pittsburgh has a deep interest in the central road, no one can deny; .., and she has given the clearest evidence of this by subscribing over ens carillon of dollars to that work. Bat her interest is indirect, wtfile Philadelphiaos direct. Its principal interest to us is, that it will attract to ns western communictions, by which • me can !recut, eastern trade. It will bring no cue . tomen to its tram the east, hot will rather have a tendency to take our customers to Philadelphia • It will afford facilities for the eustomern •of Phila.. dolphin to go to that market, and that is what she wants the road for. 'Only for its indirect effect in bringing to us wentero cdramonimitions, its bene fit bus will be exceedingly problematical, se it will bring Philadelphia into direct competition with Pittsburgh. We further take the ground, that the true inter . est of Pittsburgh lies in promoting the construe. tins of western facilities for intercommunication. • Our market is in the West. Oati'm olif e epp., • manufactures are nearly all consented in. the West. The western people are almost nor sole customers, and the chief competitors ae found • in thatnarket, and from the eastern ci les and I towns.' Oar interest therefore is clearly 13dicated It is to open up rapid and:cbeap communications wadi oar western customer+. , Felten them premises, we argue that it is the mar., iket duty and interest of the _people of Pittsburgh to promote, by all necessary means, the, Feud). construction of our Western Railroad. 4) If we thought that the people of Pitt shit igh were . able to spare any capitol to . tbe Kasten, mad, with. , out detriment to our western enterprise, we would ' net nay Another word.

We mast stretch our troti armsbeyond her, and compete for the trade of the West notion the river, bat 'in the towns auil vil lages, and at the doom of the farmer, in the interior. The Journal says our Western mad might be delayed in its completion, and "antler nothing by the postponement." Never was there a greater mistake. A delay la the Central Railroad would not be more Injurious to Philadelphia,than a de. lay in the Western road, 'while to Pittsburgh the postponement of the latter would be an irrepers. tole injury. Look at what is doing West u• All Ohio M alive projecting and building rairroada and they are taking the direction cast, to which they are the most strongly attracted by correspond ing efforts. The best part of Ohio is now strong. IY attracted to Pittsburgh; but hint postponemeat to them., and they would look towards Baltimore and New York. To show whet we have to min i tend against, on the side of New York, read the following extract of a letter written home from Saoduaky,Ohco, by Hence Greeley, a few days .Ohio is just entering to earnest upon the Con- Millet= of railroads.

We learn from the Baltimore American that Mr. Clay arrived in that coy on Thursday last, from Philadelphia, and was received with a nor dial eethaaiasm which war the more marked, from the tact that it wasi entirely without preconeerr or arragement, and cSas therefore the spontaneous tribute of those who parliaipated in it, and who wished in this way to show their esteem and ven eration for a distinguished statesman. The appear ance Of the Car containing Mr. Clay was greeted by loud and continued cheering, and when he left the car and moved towards the carriage in waiting, the press became so great that it was with difficul ty that he and the gentlemen accompanying him could make their way along, whilst the prolonged and enthusiastic cheering, showed the hearty wel come which all present were eager to extend to . Hazy Or rue WEST." At the entrance of the depot Mr. Bartjitm had an open carriage, with four horses, in visiting in which Mr. Clay, accompanied by several gentl4 men, took his sear. Here the cheering again broke forth, which Mr. Clay acknowledged by Jib:tiding up and bowing to the assemblage. The carriage then proceeded ate rapid rate op Pratt street to Hanover, and thence ter the City Hotel, whilst the crowd moved off almost en muse, and taking q more mote reached the hotel be fore thesisfoino arrived there. Its approach was the signal renewed cheering, which continued until Mr. day emceen the hotel. In a short time the cheering again broke forth, and continued unttl Mr. Clay made his appearance at one of the front windows on the second door of the hotel. Repeated calls were then made for him to say something, which he declined, remark ing—. We are too (se apart, me friends, to do that,' and stating than. tie would he happy to take them all by the hand on the nest day On the arrival of Mr. Clay at Bonhomie, a signal was conveyed to a detachment of the Junior krill' lariats on a hill near the liawrreou Houve, who immediately commenced the tiring ofsedum of ono hundred guns in honor of his arrival. The detachment was under command of Capt.- Mans shall and Lieut. Brown , Col. Piekell being present and directing the firing of the salute During the evening Mr. Clay received the visits of some of his personal friends, and after he had retired the Independent Blues' band were brought beforexhe — hoirrand serenaded the distinguished inmate, peilorming some et their finest pieces in the most exquisite style. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Clay, in accordance with centaur arrangement, took hie position between two of the parlours on the low er door of V. Hotel. Both the capacious rooms were immediately filled almost to suffocation, and the wish beingloadly eaprewed from all parts of the room that the venerable statesman should •ds dueler them. Mr. Clay gratified them by mating a law remark. We take the Arnerteenig report. • 'After referring to the warmth of the reception which had greeted Itta arrtvat here. and the 'trete evidences of friendship evinced towards him by those who then surrounded him, Mr. Clay pro eeeded to remark (so tar t.p., memory germs no, for the crowd prevented the . atrknot of notes) that the gentlemen of this city who had directed the Ittter to host had referred in connection with his return to the Senate to the grave questions which had yet to be settled there—great, threatening, and alarming osmium., whieif had stolen out of thewar with Mexico. and the aunexatson to our Republic of territoriea formerly belonging to that country.

At the conclusion of Mr. Clay's remarks, aloe cheers wete called for and given with a zest which evidenced the enthusiasm that prevailed. 'As soon lam the applause had is a degree eublided, Mr. Clay'initmated that he had something further to any; Menne being obuuned. he Jocularly me. !narked that he had been in a .101,11,1 all his life which h e had been useal to upset,, aud he beg ged to remind those preaeht that an his recent t ourney lie W.Ol upset wo stage near Cumber ) and, nod that bin right erns had not recovered from the etre'''a of the sprout then received.
