TO THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE.

The undersigned respectfully submits n few

remarks byway of explanation. Hie PILOT was

established under assurances tliatei would receive

a political support from this city .and State, that

would fully indemnity the expense of publica-

tion. These assurances have net keen realised.

The resolutions recommending the paper to the?support of the party, have, itis believed, relaxed

the efforts, of those who would, otherwise, have

?exerted themselves to increase .thesubscription'

It was supjis scd that individual exertion would

not be required where the party was pledged to

give its united patronage.Jn addition do this, the Pilot lias encountered

jealousies personal and political. It was ieared

that the old political associations and attach-ments of the editor would prevent .him from

taking that part in the present contest, whichsome supposed .necessary, to secure present suc-

cess and perpetuate the benefits expected from

it. Some doubted the possibility of supportinga new political pafper, while others had .their

fears that tic success of the Pilot must preju-

dice older and preferred interests.

Aware that lie had all these difficulties to over-

come, the editor knew that he must rely on a

public sentiment to be created; that to receive|the support of business men, he must offer in-ducements, in the paper itself, creating a con-

fidence that it will be devoted to those in-

terests which may build it up. The editor has

already given the strongest pledges, by having

identified himself deeply in a common interest,

upon the successful prosecution of which depends

the prosperity of Baltimore, and the value of

property in the State.

Before doing so, he took a careful surveyof this continent, and is satisfied, whether it is

considered inrelation to its salubrity of climate,

the character of its population, the present and

future value of property, or its commercial and

manufacturing advantages, there is no position

offering greater or equal inducements to intelli-

gent, vigorous enterprise, than Baltimore. Her

natural advantages, however, are only to be pre-

served by meeting the gigantic efforts of other

rival cities; and to do this, requires wisdom of

action in this community, aided, as an indis-

pensable auxiliary, by an enlighted and free

press; one so conducted as to command the con-

fidence and respect of both parties at home, and

an extensive circulation, and a corresponding in-

fluence in the south and west. It was in refer-ence to these great objects, more than to themere question of who may be President, that the

Pilot was established. It desires to be an aux-

iliary of the established presses, and intends to

know no other rivalry, but in laboring to deserve

the public support by promoting the public good.

The Editor is a native of Kentucky. He was

for some years a Western merchant. As late as

1817, he paid as much as thirteen dollars perctct. for transporting merchandise from Philadel-phia to Pittsburg. He bought his queensware,

his wines, brandies and sugars in BALII-- Situated at the head of the mos'. beau-

tiful bay in the world; thrown into the interior,

and approaching nearer to the great west, the

Cumberland Road, the first in that great system

of Internal Improvements, which labors to unite

more closely the East and the West, gave to

her a monopoly of the trade in these heavierarticles; but the introduction of steamboats on

the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, transferred it

to New Orleans, and gave the first shock to the

rapid growth of Baltimore.

The reader may form some idea of this rcvo- Ilution, from the fact that in 1817, the writer of]this, with sixty thousand dollars worth ot mer-

chandise, on board of a keel-boat, was thirty-

days in making the trip from the mouth of the

Ohio to St. Louis. He had an experienced pa-troon, and from thirty to forty men on the Cor-

delle, who walked on the shore and drew the

boat against the current. That same distance is

now made in steamboats in less than two days.

Before the introduction of steamboats, itrequited

ninety days to make a trip from Louisville to

New Orleans, and back to Louisville ?it is now

made in ten. The cost of transportation has

been reduced in a like proportion

In addition to the natural consequences of the

transfer to New Orleans,ef the trade in heavy-

articles, Philadelphia, New York and Boston,

have opened new channels of communication

with the West. New York has long since

completed her great canal, and her Eric Rail

road is now m progress. Pennsylvania, by her..gnats and railroads, has united Philadelphia

and Pittsburg. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois have

devoted a large amount of capital, and have

completed some, and oihf works are in the

course of construction, intended to connect them

with an Atlantic market. Fortunately for Bal-

timore the enterprise and intelligence of her

citizens, have been equal to the crisis in which

she was placed. In addition to the trade in gro-

ceries and heavy articles, she has done a large

business in dry goods, imported and domestic. Her

natural advantages for trade and manufactures

have eoncentrated a manufacturing populationwhich creates an extensive market, and justifiesof itself the efforts they have made to preserve

herrelativ'e position. It is true that New York

and Philadelphia, backed by the resources of

the great States of New York and Pennsylvania,

"POWER IS ALWAYS STEALING PROM THE MANY TO THE FEW."

and interests of those pom whom he relies foraid. He expects to receive a preference, only so

far as he is entitled to it. He claims to havebeen the first publisher in the United States whodigested a plan for the circulation of cheapbooks and periodical literature. His plan con-

templates giving to American authors the benefitof the copy right for their own works. In factto constitute them publishers without the labor

or the risk of publishing.

The purpose of this address is to say that the

success of the whole plan depends first upon the

city of Baltimore. The price of the weekly andcountry has been reduced so low at to secure an

extensive circulation?but it is so low that topublish it we must receive a large city subscrip-tion and a fair proportion of advertising patron-

age.Aware of the difficulties in our way., we did

not venture to propose our plan until we had firstascertained, to some extent, the willingness of themerchants, manufacturers, mechanics and busi-ness men of Baltimore to recommend the Pilotto public patronage;and with this view we pre-pared and submitted through a clerk in our office,the recommendation givenbelow. The respectablenames there given were obtained in a few hours,and this effort satisfied us that, with the revivalof trade, we may expect a full share of adver-tisements and a large increase of subscribers.

It is intended to strike off several thousandextra eopies of this number, which will, be dis-

tributed by our carriers, and agents will in a

few days, wait upon the citizens for the purposeof obtaining additional names to the recommen-

dation, and additional subscribers. It is intend-ed to issue a very large edition of our next week-ly paper, to be distributed, as a specimen, tomost of the Post masters in the South and West,and in tliat number additional names of thosewho recommend it willtie given.

Agents will visit most of the" towns and vil-lages in the South and West. Efforts will be

made to place it the hands of business men, es-pecially of merchants end prolessional men, andin the public houses.

All advertisements, will have at least one in-

sertion in the daily literary paper,?that will benuetral in its politics, and cannot fail to obtain an

extensive local circulation. They will also be in-

serted in the country paper, and thus the Pilotwill become the most valuable medium of adver-tising.

That our views in relation to the positionand natural advantages ef Baltimore may be

more fully understood, we have caused to beengraved a map, showing the canals and railroads connecting New York, Philadelphia and

Baltimore with the West. Whatever differenceof opinion there may have been, in relation to

the first undertaking of these great works, pecu-liarly the works of Baltimore, there can be butone sentiment as to their early completion. To

sustain public opinion in relation to them, and to

make them available when completed, by givinga deserved prominence to the natural and otheradvantages of our city, and illustrating the bene-fits to the merchants and business men of the in-terior and of the great West, by concentrating

their commerce at this point, will be a specialduty of the Pilot.

To accomplish this, the Editor will devote hisown energies and experience, and such otheraid as the liberal patronage which he may receive,will warrant.

The recommendation of the Merchant', Me-chanics, Manufacturers, and citizens of Balti-more is given below, that business men in theinterior may see that the undertaking is sustain-ed by a kind feeling here, and that all that is

wanting to make it iminently successful, is thatthe offer be received by the merchants, farmers,and business men of the interior, in the same

spirit.With this view, we respectfully ask each of j

our subscribers to become an agent, and that

some respectable merchant or other business man,

in each town and village, shall undertake to

obtain and forward to us the names of subscribers.To tbe ladies, mothers and sisters, we appeal

with confidence. We pledge ourselves that the

Pilot shall always be welcome; that it will al-ways bring something to cheer the domestichearth, and to aid them in making home more

pleasant.

The nndersigned Merchants, Mechanics, Man-ufacturers, and citizens of Baltimore, hereby re-

commend the Pilot, a political,commercial, andmiscellaneous newspaper, published by DuffGreen, to the patronage of tbe public.

DRAWING AND PA ANTING.

MRS. JENNINGS, (from London,) respectfullyinforms the citizens of Baltimore, that she is giv

ing lessons on a new and beautiful system of paintingintroduced by herself into this country.

Mrs. J. is the only person in this City who has the advantage of having been taught by the inventor, Mr.Kingston; illaddition to this, hen is not the experienceand practice of a day, but of years.

Among the advantages of this system are: the facilitywith which it may be acquired by those who have noprevious knowledge of Drawing and Fainting, and therapidity with which a picture can be executed. That aknowledge of itsufficient to enable any attentive personto sketch correctly from Nature, and to go on to any de-gree of perfection, maybe communicated in a few Leasons of an hour each, without any mechanical aid whatsoever. Painting by this system instead of being a1 a bo-

nous task is an agreeable recreation and often developestaste and talent not known to be possessed. It unitesthe transparency of water color painting, withthe effectand durability ofoil, yet avoids the tediousncss of theone, and the offensivencss of the other. Mrs. J. likewiseteaches a beautiful method of Drawiug and paintingBuds, Flowers and Fruit from Nature. Also to makeWat Flowers, and to prepare the Sheet Wat.

Ladies and Gentlemen are invited to call and examinespecimens oftlie work at her house, No. 30 FAYETTESTEET, three doors above North, between the Post Offlee and City Hotel

have gone in advance of Baltimore?their pub-

lie works are completed, and those cities are

enjoying the fruits of the system. But Mary-land is "treading in their footsteps"?she has com-

pleted her "tide water canal" to tide water?-

she has completed her railroad to the Susque-hanna, thus unitingour city with the great, val-ley of that noble river., and enabling us to par-

ticipate in the benefits to flow from the publicworks of Pennsylvania. In addition to these,we have completed our railroad to Philadelphiaand to Washington. Thus these works, parts ofthe great system, being completed and produc-tive, Jc'ave us free to devote all ourenergies to thegreat works which are to renew all our advan

tages, and to put us as far in advance of Philadel-

phiaand New York, aided as they will be bycanals and railroads, 4s we were when we hadour Cumberland road, and they were thrownuponrtlie ordinary turnpikeof .1817.

When the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad shallbe completed to Wheeling and to Pittsburg, and

the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal shall reach Cum-berland, ,<vml be extended to Baltimore, thenwill we have laid the ground work of anotherRevolution, equal, if not more extraordinary in

tlie commercial history of this country, than thataccomplished by the introduction of steamboatson the Ohio and Mississippi.

Baltimore is that point on the Atlantic,

nearest to the great West, and furthest South,at wliiedi strangers can safely mak-c a permanent

residence. It.is also the point farthest South at

which many of:the finer articles of merchandisecan be safely kept;?which gives her greatadvantages over other cities, inasmuch as

her lines ctf communication will be permanentand uninterrupted. Her canal will be openearlier in the spuing and later in the fallthan those of Pennsylvania or New York, withthe peculiar advantage of a Railroad on its hankor immediate vieinity, t® which any articles of

merchandise may be transferred incase of acci-dent or frost.

There is another element of prosperity,whieh the political canvass piesents

much prominence?Baltimore is the enly great-commercial Atlantic city in the slave holding

States, and may expeel a preference from theslave holding population of the South, all otherthings being equal. With these advantages, allthat is requ'red to make Baltimore the first city in

the Union,is to exert her energies inthe develope-mentand improvement of her resources. As we

have said before,an ably conducted paper is indis-pensable to her prosperity ?it is required as a

channel of communication, and the means of con-centrating our own energies ;but itis more requiredas a means of developing and bringing into activi"ty those great natural elements ofwealth,individu-al and national, which have been dormant for somany ages, but which are destined togive employ-ment, wealth and prosperity, to millions of inhabi-tants.

Look at New England; see what Lowell and

other villages have done to multiplythe wealthof our Eastern brethren! The whole line of our

great canal will, in time, become a continuedvillage of prosperous manufactories. We havecoal, iron, breadstuff's, and a surplus population.

The mines of Allegany and Hampshire, and thefertile lands of Frederick and Washington coun-

ties, inMaryland and of the Slianandoah valleyVirginia, Will create an annual trade?all look-ing to Baltimore as the great mart of Exchange,

as Lowell now looks to Boston and New York.

When these great lines of Internal Improvement

shall have been completed, as completed they

must be, we may expect the steamboats that are

now employed in bringing merchandize up theriver, to bring the cotton and sugar of the South

to Wheeling and Pittsburg; we may then expecta very large part of the produce of Kentucky,

Missouri, and the north-western States, whichis now shipped to the Eastern and foreign mar-

kets byway of New Orleans, to come direct to

Baltimore, and then this city will become as it

once was, the great mart for the purchase of Topi-

cal produce, and for the sale of pork, wheat,flour, bacon, beef, and the other agricultural pro-ducts of the interior.

No one who has not traversed the great West,who has not seen the great extent of rich land,

and estimated the surplus produce that she willsend to market, can have any conception?or formthe remotest idea of the consequences to flow

from eompleting the improvements that are to

pour her treasures inte the lap of this, the queen

of cities.

The increasing population, and the important

bearing ofFederal Legislation on the prosperity

of the whole country, render it more and more

important to the whole people that there should

be at least one press, free to speak the truth, and

deserving their confidence Such is the neces-

sary dependence of the press in the District,

and so large are the rewards of party ser-

vice, that it is not in the nature of things that

any press there will continue to be faithful to

the public interests. The patronage ofthe party

in power is worth, under any circumstances, from

forty to eighty thousand dollars per annum; and

?t has been increasing and will continue to in-

crease. The press there willbe under the con-

trol, and give its support to the party that pays

for its services. Ifthe government will not sur-

render the power to corrupt the press, the people

ought to build up one at least, that they may

have a pledge, in its dependence on them, which

will guarantee vigilance and fidelity to them.

The undersigned is aware that in proposing to

establish such a paper-in tendering himself as

its conductor, he renders himself obnoxious to thecharge of egotism. But he meets that charge and

points back to the past Whatever may have

been his faults, no one can charge him with sorj

didness and subserviency. Ithas been his great-

est ambition to establish afree press? to identify

himself with the interests and the history of hiscountry as a public benefactor He asks not

wealth for himself or his children. He seeks to

be useful, and solicits the co-operation of others

f that he may be so., His plans are laid in reference to the wants
