32 pages. First edition with errata at the end. A plea, made with not a little humor, against state tolls on goods transported via the Oswego Canal (from Syracuse north to Lake Ontario and the port of Oswego), compared to the better established Erie Canal, and aimed at state representatives in Buffalo. Gerrit Smith was of course one of the most active abolitionists of his time, but what may not be so widely known is that he was exceptionally wealthy, the beneficiary of a massive inheritance which included much of Oswego; he was in fact instrumental in the construction of the Oswego Canal, and his many business holdings in that port stood to benefit from lower tolls. This is one of Smith's less common publications. Good condition, some paper loss on spine, small chip top outer corner of the rear wrap.
