They proceed to say ‘-This done.Ohio hastened to confer on Fenm-y Ivania the long riatired boon, and on the 2oth of February, 1848,I'te Ohio and Penns) lvanta charter became a law.”Now, we happen to know per-onally, something about the pas-age of tho iaw chartering that read. We know that the citizens of Richland.. Ashland, Wayne, Stark and Columbiana and n ’gliboring counties, petitioned the Legi sialnre of Ohio to grunt «s ‘-the long dcstred loan, of enabling ut to make a road, by wluch we could induce Pennsylvania to give us the boon, by her -grace ami grant,'' of an easy access thro’ her territory to her cities on the sea-boartl,»nd in her interior—so that we might share ‘-the vast spoils” of die cities on tlie sca-board. We looked uot with an envious or morbid eye,’ on Kew York, or Clereland, or the shores of Lake Eric, or any other place. We sought onr own interest, and believed our interest perfectly compa tihle with, and in aid of the general icelfnre.

The people of Ohio . will look to their Legislature, \vlu„li assembles aezt week, for prompt reparation, c ”Bo, people of Columbiana. Siark, Wayne, Ashland, Richland, Crawford and the neighboring counties, we say, look to your Legislature—For, with the maledictions of the Forest Cit) Democrat pending over our heads, wc know not how •oou we may have our Kail Rond Charter repealed.—And then we tnay expect to have Erie Mob—may be lrcaled by these valiant editors—tearing up our Rail Road and burning our Bridges, just to be revenged on Pennsylvania.But what do they intend to do with the Steu Ireavrtle road; that v, ould seem to point to ‘ that I ikn of Ratcals '—Pittsburgh and Philadelphia? I P1 Or the road from Columbus to Wheeling; and liefrom Cincinnati to Wheeling, all of which gives Pennsylvania “access to the great producing regions of the So.ili West and South West loo, “by the grace and grunt of Oliiu, ’—must these all be destroyed, to teach Pennsylvania that “honesty is the best policy. This seems to be the poliey of these valiant editors, for they do not even hint, that our “Legislature which asscmblos next week. ought to tear up any of the Pennsylvania Roads—-tlioi r vengeance must bo wreaked oil our own roaIs. We therefore, again say, Central Southern Ohio, look to your Husl Roads.As to Cleveland, permit us to say. that we have business connections a itli tlie city.
