,rbs Rail Road.-The Cincinnati Ohio CONNER
iii Register, thus speaks Of the Rail Road pro-
ct:-a The citizens of Baltimore are all excite
nept, on the subject of a Rail Road from baltimore
ID thc Ohio river. large meeting was lately held
h that enterprising city. at which committee was
nnonted to take the subject into consideration,
Fr,end has lust furnished US with the report, and
se have read it with the deepest feelings OF graft
Ecaton. We have long since been satisfied of the
bracticability and superiority of Rail Roads, over
very other means of transportation, and whilst
[es;dent in another State we exerted ourselves to
|be utmost in trying to render the Rail Road sys-
em more popular and acceptable than canal.
The result of Mr.. Strickland's visit to England,
las confirmed our prepossessons in favor OF this
pecies Of internal improvement, over all others.


e have lately joined in the cry in favor Of canals
because we considered this was as far as public
oninion was as yet prepared to go. Canals are
Certainly great deal better than turnpikes, pre-
Earious water courses but Rail Roads are as much
uperior to Canals as Canals are to the Pennsylva-
|bia Turnpke.-We therefore hail the spirit that is


sng in Baltimore, we are pleased that such an
knterprisng place should have taken up the idea.
md we almost rejoice that the affairs of that city
ave been so threatened, as to render the attempt
Indispensable to her prosperity. The trade and


reductions of the inexhaustible and fertile plains
bf the West have become the grand object of con-


est for our Atlantic cities. The struggle is proof
81 their penetration; the game they play is a glo-
ious one the palm of victory will be splendid !;
hey who achieve it will be placed on the flow tide
bf fortune, and boundless wealth and influence will
be the natural result. The West herself, in the
went of success, will burst into new state of ex-
stence and find that although too long neglected,
She is doomed to take rank, equal in natural ad
Gantages, to our hitherto, more happily situated
Atantic borders. With our Rivers and Canals
&one the destnes of Ohio bid fair to be brilliant.
But we are not dsinterested observers OF the strug
gles of our Eastern brethren. We say to them
( God speed YOU Let them who " win US, wear
us." We are heartily tired of Louisiana Monop-
&oly; it cannot be possible that the immense pro-
ductions Of the almost boundless region ofthe West,
are to be doomed always to be filtered through the
commission houses of Orleans, or subjected to the
precarious market of that city. 1t would be mat
ter of singular speculation however, IT after the
nagniicent and praise worthy eyertions Of New
York, and in spite of the apatetc wealth of Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, "litle Baltimore" should step
Pin, and carry off the prize"
