Long: Engineers Appointed by the Canal Commissioners for Examining the Different Routes for Crossing the Allegheny Mountain In the investigation of this subject and of every other con 'nected with the Allegheny portage, it seems to the undersign ed very clear that we can arrive at no conclusion which has not ret'erenceto the amount and character of the trade to be accommodated on it, or which is not based upon a Conside ration of what the exigencies of the trade may require. It it is 'doubtful whether the trade in question may be a very small trade ora very large trade, and we must wait for experience to guide 'us, then it seems to him the engineers have hazarded a great deal in recommending a rail road instead of a Macadamized road, be cause it, is evidehtthat the latter would be justified by a trade much smaller than would be required to make the former a judi cions scheme. But if r n the other hand, the trade on the rail road will almost'as soon as the work is brought into successful Opera tion be very great, if it will at all approach what has been antici t'pated by the gentlemen of this state who have given most atteno tion tothe subject of its improvements, then it seems equally clear that anincreased expenditure ought not in the first instance 'to be spared, which is to diminish forever afterwards in a much greater ratio than the interest on that expenditure, the annual charges on transportation.
