the western counties of New York may be brought the 

 whole way by water, and from whence by water and 

 by an average land carriage of but fifteen miles, return 

 cargoes may be taken either to lake Ontario, to the 

 town of Arkport, to Genessee, or within twelve miles 

 of the Allegheny. No route that New York can esta^ 

 blish, can prevent this result, if the legislature of Penn- 

 sylvania will do their duty.

 Of this route but 49 miles by land. Nescopeck is 

 also favourable for a depot, and the communication 

 with Easton a matter of much consequence. For ma- 

 ny articles, particularly grain, Easton is as good a mar- 

 ket as Philadelphia : having an excellent stream of wa- 

 ter and good mills, the millers of Easton give as good 

 a price for wheat as can be got any where in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Philadelphia ; their flour they send to Phi- 

 ladelphia at twenty five cents per barrel.
