More than (bottle this omount could have btenahipped, tf b ats w irld have Lean pr”cured But the extraordinary efrirts that were made io prevent the introduction or a artern of omie ti tian, had an influence in preventing a ri:ffi• lent number of section boats (ruin ta• ing built to take eastward the immense amount of western profit:lets which had accumulated at Pillbhurgb. The Stale tracks, fir the conveyance of section boat' over the Allegheny Po tage Railroad, have been in operation only thirty-seven days up to the let June, inat , during v hich time three thousand four hundred and forty-two tone of produce were transported eastward; and on which the State ha received, in tolls, 0,909 le, being within a frac lion ofoofiXourth of thearitire rece Oa. The cot lector at the Johns:own office revile, that during this thirty-seven days, there h is been an inc - ease of revenues over former years at t is office on pro duets passing eastward, during the same period,nf $11,04613, and that this is uviiiifeatly the result of the introduction of the competive or truck By.. tem. Thus it will be seen, that notwithstanding the navigation opened a month earlier la -t year th n it did this, yet the receipts for Tull at Johi.stown, on western products passing eastward over the Portage Railroad,are a ithin a few do!lars of being double, for ti,e same period, what they were up to the let June lest year. From the foregoing, it is very clear that busi ness and revenues ale increasing greatly upon our public' works; and, in the opinion of the Canal Conamissioners,this increase is ascribable entirely to the competition which has been brought upon our improvements by the facilities afforded to in dividnal enterprize, by the use of trucks upon the railroads. But the Canal Commissioners contend, that if these allegetians et' the Relators be true, th reso lotions imp ising the tolls complained of. are fully sustained by all the laws conferring upon ihe Bard the power to fix rates ()flung. The second section of the Act of the Ist Jolt', 1542, (petnpli.laws. p. 305,) x , ressly invests the cotnitiiisicnr:s wish full houier to adopt sueh rules and regulations, and t o e.d.bhsh such rats., an , / charger for the use of said tracks, as they Indy dcetnjust and equitable. It is a chscr• tionaty power vested by the Legislature ie the Croa' Commissioners The char net :Or the aye of Ole trucks are to be such as the Board near d t to ju t and equitable. If the law conferring this power be con,tit-iiimi-.1, th m is the B, tiod of lir; B lard under it, cv(ii Use a ti of the lators to he tru h loin)! and within the letter and •n of die The Legislature' very wisely fl iresnw tillt the flecluations of trade, and °film prices of freights on t'in seanorrcl. and' the unc.rtainty ui tLe permanency oh' the rat-s toll OD rival routes, NI could renter it impos ibi••• for Wit body,with a proper rear ! to the puldie ests, to rei,in the p..wer of fixinz i'te rates of tolls on the canals end railroads of the Comm hwealth. They saw that it was not only pn.p..r, but rit.ces sary, that that pox( r should he dt v.lwerl upon that department of the Gov, rnincnt particular charge of the public works, and which, from be ing constantly in session, could o th•, tuations of trade, the change of coastwise fr and the rale. of toll on rival route., and which would thereby be the beder qualad to zilard !he interests of the Commonwealth, by fixing such rates of toll aq small bring the largest aiimunt oft rev-nue-iu•o the Trenster”, and et the seine time ensura to the pe pie of fenn.ylvania the enjoy. went qf all the advantages legaima'ely anticipa led from a great pubic enterprx‘. For these reagon., thl Legislature invested the Canal Commissioners with the power to irnpos, sock tolls as they might deem ju-t and equitable. They have exerci-ed that power, an base estab• Balled rates of toll, which in the exercise of their beet jodgement, and of the discreion with which they hoe b"cn invested, Meg deem fast, rearnia Alt, end equitable. In so-doing, they have aced in 'Wet nottformity to the law.

I f the Vvisliture hue the fil'i ,- - br<whiCh ue.one Will deny) to Make a discrimi nation in the rates of tolls charged on e. i tre re n t Cr. ticks, the Canal Commissioners have the same power, under the authority conferred upiin them. If they had made such a discrimination in the in • stance complained of by the Relators, they would have been supported both by law and universal iii• sage. If it were necessary, we could refer the court to the toll lists of' numerous works of inter nal improvement, where the policy of discrimina ting tolls has been adopted—where dissimilar are ticks, but of the same value, pay difT-rent rates of toll; or where the tolls nn articles of differ , int val. nes are not in exact proportion to those velum— W e need not. however, go further thin to the ttu minces of the It lators, in search of an example.— These Relators are DOW engaged in the transport at inn of passengers over it.e canals and rat olds o ' Pennsylvania, at a much less rate of toll than is paid on the passengers carried by the regul ir p a ., , meager lines (4.43 R vied R itee of Tull-1843_) And yet, they are the first to complain of what they allege to be a discrimination. Again: It has' always been the policy of governments a Policy as sound as it is salutary—to give encouragement to such improvements as would tend to inc,ea.e the general welfare of the people, or to add to the public revenues. The adoption of the syvtrtn of transportation by section boat-, it is bel:i 'led, will have this effect. If, ilicrerore, thi. Commi•sioner,i had Ina& the discri nination a. is .1!lez , •,1 by the Relators, they w.tu'd have been acting in iicciird ance with this great kenos' principle, and at the 'nine time keeping hAn .iels us ,‘lthi I the Itinit, of the law.
