To the Senate and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsyliania
The memorial of the Board of Trade of the city of
Pittsburgh respectfully shewelh:—That in 1828, an act
was passed authorizing the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
mad Company to construct a railroad through this
State, "in a direction from Baltimore tothe Ohio river."
1n this act, the following (among other restrictions,)
was introduced, in case the said railroad shall not ter- at the Ohio river, in the vicinity of Pittsburgh.
it shall be the duty of the company to construct, simulta
neously, a lateral railroad, upon the same principles and
plans of the main railroad." This provision together
with various others, and especially one by which the full
right is secured to this Commonwealth, or any of her cit
izens, or any companies, who may hereafter be so author.
ized by the Legislature,to connect with the said railroad,
at any point within this Commonwealth, seem quite
sufficient to secure our State and its citizens against
any injustice from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, and manifest that liberal spirit, which the
states of the Union should display towards each other.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company assented
to the terms of this act, commenced the work, and
prosecuted with all the means within its control, its
extension towards Pittsburgh. On the 20th June,
1839, a supplement to this act, extending the time for
the completion of the railroad until the 27th of Feb
ruary, 1847, but adding various new restrictions was
passed.
It is not necessary that your memorialists should en.
ter into a labored discusslon of the merits of these
new restrictions—it is suffniVnt to say, that the Bala
! more and Ohio Railroad Company have regarded
them as altogether inadmissible, and as tantamount to
prohibition to enter this Stut.C.,= Since the date of the
passage of that act, the coqittny has ceased to cast its
longing eyes upon the Heir-willies of the Youghiogany
and Monongahela, the prirvi;;ions of that law have
created a barrier along our southern line more difficult
to overcome than either mountains or rivers, and the
company has been driven by irresistible necessity to
seek other routes to the Ohio. Since 1840, the En
gineers of the company have been exploring every
part of the country lying between Cumberland, the
Little Kenhawa, and the Pennsylvania line. Thu*
explorations have been entirely successful, and have
settled, beyond all doubt, that various routes (Mtn
Cumberland to thelDhio, without entering the Common.
wealth of Pennsylvania, are practicable.
It is under such circumstances that your memorial
ists now approach your honorable bodies. The, discov
ery of these various practicable mutes to the Ohio riv
er, without entering this State, has pronounced an en
tirely different state of things from which existed when
the act of 1839 was passed. Then it was believed that
the railroad could not reach the Ohio river, the great
channel of trade, without passing through the Key
stone, and the Legislature of that year may have dia.
played wordly wisdom in the conditions then imposed.
So long as your memorialists believed that the com
pany had no other route to the Ohio river, they never
troubled your honorable bodies with any applications
on the subject. -The members of the Board of Trade
are all Pennsylvanians, having no partialitiin for a car
poration existing beyond our State bounds, and felt no
regret that the Legislature of that year availed itself of
the supposed necessities of the railroad company to
drive even a hard bargain.
That company, however, considered the terms toe
severe—it considered that an aeceptance of the con
ditions of the law of 1839 would be an act of moral
suicide, and, ofcourse, rejected them. There 'amain
ed then to that company but one alternative, to pro-
cure from the Legislature of Virginia "further time
for the extension cf their road through that State with
in the limits of the original charter. allowing the
company to strike the Ohio river at a point not lower"
than Pat kershurgh.
The very able and disting uished president of that
company has been at Richm ond fur many weeks, pees.
sing upon the attention of that Legislature his earnest
memorial, with all that tact and talent which charac
terised him. To supposetbat he will fail in his appli
cation would be - irrational. He asks of that Legisla
ture no money—so subscription of stock—uo guaran
tee, but merely the privilvge of constructing a rail
road, extending from , one hundred and eighty-fire to
two hundred and twenty-times-miles through that state
to the Ohio. To reject such an application would be
mere fatuity. The James River and Kenliawa com
pany may have influence to restrict the western ter
minus to a point further north than Parkersburgh, but
that is the utmost which we can anticipate.
The same question, as your memorialists believe far
your consideration, is this. It is most desirible for
the interest of this Commonwealth, that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad should enter Pennsylvania, pass
through severall of our counties, enrich them by the
the expenditure of large sums of money, and tercel
nate.at Pittsburgh? Or shall it pass near two hundred
miles through Virginia. distributing its millions with,.
a lavish hand in that State? Your memorialists firm;
ly believe that it is the interest ot this Commonwealth
that the road should terminate in Pennsylvania.
It is sometimes urged that this road, if taken to
Pittsburgh, will divert some trtiVel, and in the winter
some trade from our public works. This your me
morialists cannot, in that spirit of frankness which is
'due to themselves, as well as to your honorable bo
dies, deny. But in reply they will remark, that the
completion of such a convenient route for travel to
Pittsburgh will naturally attract to that place, and con
centrate there such en increase of busineris as will
more than compensate the public Vroika-Sw the loos of
travel and winter trade. They.do farther urge that a
~
railroad, striking the OW river at Parkersburg, one
hundred and ninety-two miles below Pittsburgh, and
below much of the difficult navigation, must inevita-
My draw from the public works all the travel from
points below Pat kersburg, and from some distance
above it. -This, however, is not all, nor even the
greatest injury, which a termination of the railroad at
Parkersburg will inflict upon the State works. A
large portion of the trade - frour the region of country
along the Ohio, and its tributreies below Parkersburg,
will be drawn to that railroad during the summer
when the upper Ohio river is low, during the winter
when the upper Ohio is rimed by ice, and in the fall
when the river may be expected to be frozen, though
not actually closed. Indeed, it would seem that Par
kersbmg is the very point at which the most seviena
diversion of trade thorn the public work of our State
can be made.
From Parkersburgh to the mouth of the Muskingum
river is but twelve miles. and from that place there is
an excellent connection, by slackwater and canal, with
the Ohio canal, so that a considerable portion of the
trade from that region may be expected to take the
Pa rkersburgh route, if Pennsylvania legislation drives
the Baltimoreand Ohio relieved to that point.

route examined by the Engineers of the
