Mr. Thompson being called upon, farther to
responed to the touts, requested Mr. Dennis, of
the city of Philadelphia, to take the chair, when
he proceeded to say:
Ma. Ynae►tDENT—l most truly r3present my
own feelings, when I express my regret at being
cal l e d upon to speak at this time. I fear I shall
add little to the interest or enjoyment of the oes
fission, whereon so much has beau so well said,
by those who have, in obedience to the call of
this assemblage, preceded me Besides, too, in
despite of the hilarity and general joy that sur
rounded us, I must own to a shade of badness
that I cannot well rid myself of When T arose
this morning the iieen' was inauspicious Look
ing out upon the face of nature a thick mantle
of snow convered and pervaded every place—
our beautiful harbor, as we are wont, to call it.
was ice -bound, and the dark flitting clouds of
the north poured oat their coldest and sharpest
breath. 1 could not but feel thit dread winter
was upon us. There was no summer sunshine
to cheer our friends, but that which glowed in
our hearts. A.H was well within But I knew
the effect of association of ideas and rellections
I could easily believe that in the future, in win
ter, spring, mid-summer, or autumn, should you
ever recur to this visit, thought would be ac
companied with a chill, as fancy would bring
forth the panorama of snow fields and icy fetters.
Is it to be wondered at, that under such impres
sions one should be sad? But now let me beg
you to relieve us from such chilling apprehen
sion Come to us again when summer comes.
Enjoy the gentleness of the breeze, now so harsh
—behold the glassy surface of that basin, now
in "icy fetters bound," look on the bright green
isle so sombre to-day, and just tarry until even
tide, till the moon sheds her silver light over
the scene, ou twit. and sail, and stately steamer,
—then go, if you chose, and forget us if you
can
But I must not dwell ou this theme. The
great object of most of us, I hope, is to find
some means to render easy and practicable the
agreeable intercourse thus hinted At. Mr Pres
ident, can this be done in other ways than by
the completion of the whole of that road, the
first link of which we celebrate a.. finish
ed? The construction of the Sunbury and Erie
road is the only means of attaining this desira
ble end. By it Philadelphia and Erie will be
brought within a day's journey of each other,
and the Lakes and the Delaware at least united.
It is not fur me to argue how this may be accom
plished, but rather to say. something about why
it should be done I believe the means are
abundant to obtain the end. and that this great
work will be cousummated in spite of the hos
tility of foes and the iuditierence of friends
What would the eity of New York have been,
Mr. President, this day, had no commercial con
nection existed between her and the lakesf—
Had there been lie Canal or Railroads between
them? Magnificent AS her harbor is, and great
as are her advantages in a commercial point of
view. w t nese alon.• love built up the vast

of which an equal share might and ought to be

Jersey, Pennsylvania, and half of Maryland,
and into them is poured the treights of fourteen
or fifteen Railroads. and five or six great Canals,
besides the trade embarked thereon from a lake

over 2.0 W miles in extent All tilt.: a i :euey,
with its millions of tuns of merchandise, o•f pro.
duets of OF(' field, and of live stock, are Set

and City of New York, and go firwarrl to add to
the imperial power of the State, and the metro
politan consequence of her city This it all
true, and may as well be told Would Nou be
lieve it, sir, that until the p irt of San Francisco
sprung into existenee, as the port f entry to
the geld regions of the West, Buffalo was the
fourth port in commercial importance as to ton
hage and trade in the Valor)! 111 this tride,
or mostly so, arriving and departing from that
port, is the trade and commerce of New York
Is it any wonder that New York is unarivalled
in her advancement?
But, sir, great as this trade is, it is yet to its in
fancy Reciprocal free trade with the ('anadas
will bring a vast accession to the commerce of
the lakes, which must find an outlet to an east
ern market. As matters stand now all this goes
to New York. The Canadas as well as the
"great West," become tributaries to New York.
Next June, it is understood, that the Sault St.
Marie Canal will be completed, and Lake Supe
rior, the largest by far of the northern lakes,
will come into the line of commercial inter
course, and with whom will the commerce be?—
With Philadelphia? Not a pound of it, unless it
pass through New York hands first That trade
rs distined to be immense, in more than one sta
ple. As a fishery, Lake Superior will hardly be
second to Newfoundland. I had the honor to
address some gentlemen of the Councils of l'hil
adelphia, on a former occasion, and gave some
thing of a picture of the fish and fisheries of
Lake Superior. I tried to do Justice to the wond
erful deposits of iron and copper found there,
but my fish story, as it was called, I discovered
bad made by far the deepest lodgment in the
memory of some of my auditors, whether to the
disadvantage of the account given the other pro
ducts of that region, I know not; but my friends
seemed sceptical on that subject, and often re
curred to it. It was no joke, sir, and time will
prove what fancy would scarcely dare depict
now! The greatest abundance of the finest fish
of this continent, will be caught, put up, and
sent to market from thence: White fish, Trout
and Scistswits, that would make the mouth of
ap epicure water Just to think of, will be caught,
and sent to market by the ship load. But the
minerals there iron, and copper, are rich and
pure, beyond all enuparition with any other do
posites in this or any other country. This is no
exaggeration; these ores are nearly pure, yield
ing from $0 to 90 per cent. pure metal. Now,
when this trade is opened up, who is to get it?
Who is to furnish the miners, mechanics, mari
ners and fishermen, with supplies, and take their
products in recurs? Will it be Philadelphia?
Not as nutters now stand,—not a pound or a
dollar's worth of it.
Mr. President--. This is not all. But a few
years are to elapse until we shall have a railroad
through and beyond she Rocky Mountain.; to
the shores of the Paeifio—to San Francisco and
the month of the Columbia—to the very threw
! holds of China and Japan. Ono branch of
that rind, and the statue one I believe, will, of
necessity, terminate as some point, at the
_
western extremity of Lake Michigan. Well,
where is the trade of the East—of Japan—of
China, brought by this speedy mode of transit,
to go to, when it is embarked upon the Lakes!
Will Philadelphia get any of it, with ber pre-
sent commercial oonnection with the Lakes?—
No, sir, not a ton of it; and she will have noth
ing to send out, as she has nothing coming in.
New York will again be in the ascendent It
will be grist to her mill, mostly. Boston will
share in it but little. ' Philadelphia none—none,
sir, unless she, and all of us, awake from our
slumbers. A share in these great things, SO
well calculated to build up a city, and enrich a
State, we have hitherto forgone, through supine
ness, carelessness and want of energy, if noth
ing
_worse.
Mr President--How can we share in these
advantages may he asked? Allow talc t,, 4ive
the answer, that all will doubtless have anticipa

construction of two hstiolred miles of railroad!

Let us look at this subject for a moment loug
er. The spot on which we stand once beiouged
toNew York Some have grumblingly it
might have been well for the denzens of it that
it had still belonged to her It was said it be
longed to her, and we take the say so to be true
at this time-,--certain it is that there was a time
when it did not belong to Pennsylvania Our
early statesmen were disappointed in the actual
position of things consequent on the running of
the north line of Pennsylvania It. was begun
to be run at the "end of the 42" parallel of lati
tude in 1774. The meridian was tiled —munu
moots set up at the Delaware river, and a few
rods of the line actually run and marked Cold
weather aiming on the further progress of the
work was postponed until next year. The next
year was the dawn of the revolution This in
terrupted and broke off fur the present, the sur
vey of the line, thus c.emmenced under the aus
pices of the royal governors of Pennsylvania
and New York. They had henceforth some
thing else to do and think about. After the
revolution, and in 1789, the line was run out to
the west Is had been supposed by Jur State
authorities that the forty-second para' of lati
tude would strike Lake Erie as far down 1. be
treen where Westfield and Ituuktrk now stand,
and they eipected to pee-- almost the entire

Thus, Mr. President, this hecatny Penuttylva
nia ground, the best commercial ['or en the
Lakes, acquired for that purpee, nearer to the
great commercial city of Philadelphia, than is
any point on Lake Erie, or the Lakes oft lie north
west, to the city of New York.
But, sir, the importance of the thin e
has been in oar neglect to improve th,-.0 great
advantages. New York has gone ahead. bu' not
far, I think, but that .he may be oe, oak. u
yet, atkd this Sunbury and Erie road %L 1 i I
,111,311'
whereby this must be accomplished, if at all
Let us, with this view, contrast distance, .1101
grades fur a moment between the railroads lead
mg to New York, and this purposed and partly
completed road.
From Erie to Philadelphia via the Sunbury
and Erie road, i. 126 miles From the sam e
point via Buffalo to New York is 51%4 miles
Thus freight and passengers from any point west
of Erie would travel 13S miles further to
reach New York than Philadelphia About the
same difference in distance exists between the
New York and Erie Road, and the Sunbury and
Erie, to the cities of New Yurk and Philadelphia
The grades are quite as much in favor of the
Sunbury and Erie road as is the distance The
maximum being 52 'silt feet to a mile at two
paints, against 90 feet on the Ner York Central,
and over 70 on the New York anti Erie Roth
of the last named roads have u• encounter a
transhipment in crossing the Hudson river, the
one at Albany, the other at Jersey City. While
the Sunbury and Erie passes all intervening
streams by viaducts and bridges. The latter road
gives an advantage of over 150 miles, taking in
to account distances and grades, to travelers gu
ing to an eastern market, over either of the New
York routes from any point west of Erie. The
harbor at Erie is most commodious and safer
than any other on the southern shore of the lakes,
and is generally open earlier by two or three
weeks, in the spring, than the harbors of Buffalo
and Dunkirk. Now, sis, with this road in oper
ation, why cannot Philadelphia successfully com
pete with New York for the great trade of the
West! Vast now, but not a tithe of what it will
be twenty-five years hence. Is not capital as
abundant aghiladelphia as at New York? Are
not the merchants as skillful. honest and faith
ful in the former as in the latter city? It has
passed into universal belief, that the probity of
the Philadelphia merchant is not surpassed in the
world. Have not they the capacity to import as
largely as any city on the continent, if the wants
of trade will justify it? Why not then success
fully compete? Distance is in their fitvor. The
motive power is in their favor, on account of re
duced grades. Why not compete! Let this road
be made, and there will be no scepticism on that
point in the future. Philadelphia can and will
successfully compete with New York, when this
commercial connection is completrxl, Is there
any reason to the contrary? If so, I would like
to her it.
Sir, I will not advert to the advantage to be
derived from the opening of the country through
which this rood will pass—to the lumber, and
coal, and iron, and ore that will be brought forth
through its agency—to the advance in t h e price
of hundreds and thousands of acres of land that
will be the consequence---to the increased amount'
of, sad ability to pay taxes, to lessen the great
Witham resting upol the productive property
and industry of other portions of the State. No,
sir, I will not dwell on these topics, they are old
and familiar topics, bat no less true and impor•
'taut for being familiar. Sir, the port of Erie
I will be the great coal depot of the lakes when this
road is finished. Huntlireds of thousands of tons
will find a market in the West, that now lay bu
ried in the bowels of the earth, and will lie there
forever, if some such outlet is not tarnished.
Bir., Mr. President, let me advert to another
advantage that Philadelphia might have, and
will salami'? this raid. You will remember
that New Yost is cat off froni the West oy the
salient. at to potties' et Pannalivemit, par-
ehaited, as I told you a moment ago, and forming
apart of Erie county. There we forty Milts be
tween flew York and Ohio, occupied by Penn
sylvania. You will plainly perceive, therefore,
that New York could not get a pound of the vast
trade of the West during the non-navigation sea
son, averaging six months of the year, if Penn
sylvania chose to regard her own interests. - Why
not? simply because she Las no Western outlet
in the winter The Canada route will not sup
ply this defect, because trade will not come
through Michigan and stand transhipment across
the Detroit river, which is prohibited - to be span
ned by a bridge, by the ordinance of . 1787. Nor
will it be convenient -to endure the surveillance
of custom-house officers, either going into, or
coming out of a foreign country, such as Upper
Canada is to Cts Reciprocal free trade extends
only to the natural products of the infantry; it
doze out apply to the thoueands of articles that
Atli pay duty in bet§ countries.
This road will not help New York out of the
dilemma. Construct the Sunbury and Erie road;
enforce the law of the last Legislature to compel
the Western or Cleveland, Painesville and Ash
tabula road to establish its depots at the harbor
of Erie, in connection with the Sunbury depots;
make that the distributing points, and th,p trade
tat the West, by means of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral, drainiug the Ohio Valley, and the Saubury
mid Erie, the Northern, or lake shore, portion of
the West, and l'hiladelphis will have the entire
Western trade in winter, as fully as New York
uow has it in the best seasons of the summer
months Is not thisrfair? 13 it not right? I
can tell you sir, that this state of things is felt
and greatly feared by the railroad companies,
whose reads to this place, although intended to
terminate at the commercial point here, bare
been located a mile a nd a quarter from the bar
ber. Have maintained their position, there not

Is as much • New York State, as she is as Ohio
State Yes, air, they will out approach the har
bor—they will run across the Sunbury and Erie
road, with the trade of the West, to New York,
and set you at defiance, if, they can. Let them
go to the commercial point—give a chance to
distrihue trade an' passengers there. If you let

ADoLPH OM Will
build thee a cot all covered with ivy, in some**.
eluded vale, close by & pearling brook, meandering
over its pebbly bottom, incessantly babbling in
dulcet tinkling strains, `love, love, love;'—where
the atmosphere is redolent of soothing, spicy:as
owl, that make the eye languish, and the heart
dissolve in the liquid fires of love—where the
balmy morning zephyrs sigh in the dcnse:forest's
leafy mate, chanting !nye 4 m. truly—where the
tiny songster* that whirl in ethereal apses, tolit
ble nought but love. I will plant thee & pedal
of gorgeous loveliness, culled from nature's moss
ardent designs, warmest ties, and sweet emit
ing incense.
