Whereas, Owing to the present enitiarrassi•d
state of public and private iloaticA s and credit, it
is probable that no effort w ill be made for boino
years, to extend the Cuinly.!rlan.l Valley 11.a.1 road

itain that the travel and cart- frig trade iolt

the suspension of our c,nalb f r four or five 111.1: t!:,

Wherea;' It i+ deemel t certain from the
experience of this winter, that the tray,' und
trade aforesaid will branch or diverge f , ttio the ;
Ohio River at Wheeling and nut as herctultre at!
Pittsburgh, unless some expedient be promptly a-
dopted to restore to Pittsburgh the full advantage ;
of her greater proximity to Cumberland.
Whereas, The distance between UniontoAri, and
Pittsburgh as measured by a U S. Civil Etizineer,
_ has been ascertained to be but 41 mil's and stone
perches, and the topography of the intyroirdiate
country so exceedingly fa. orah'e for the tm-,
