y benefitting them, will also yield a rich fruition in increasing fraternity and commercial prosperity. Such a link will accomplish much in the restoration of kindly feeling, and assure mutual interests and the best and greatest commercial advantages, and will aid in binding in iron bands those great commonwealths to the union of our fathers. "A natural route, full of local and general advantages, is thus presented. It is true, that whilst a portion of traffic which now comes up the Ohio river, and is received by Western railways from the Southwest--thus passing over the whole three hundred and seventy-nine miles of the Baltimore and Ohio road, would, through a valley line, pass over but eighty miles of the main stem; yet, in view of the great objects to be achieved for those interests and in securing a direct communication to Washington, and adding vastly to the commercial strength and importance of Baltimore, I do not hesitate to commend to the most, earnest and favorable cons
