The Petition of the Undersigned Citizens of the State of Ohio, respectfully represent, that the business at the several points between Pittsburgh in the State of Pennsylvania, and Mansfield, in the County of Richland and State of Ohio, in the judgement of your petitioners requires a daily Mail between said Pittsburgh and Mansfield, and your petitioners respectfully ask that a daily Mail be established between said points, by the most eligible route. And your petitioners believe a route via Beaver, Darlington, Palestine, Columbiana, Washingtonville, Salem, Damascus, Mt. Union, Louisville, Canton, Massillon, Wooster, and thence to Mansfield the most proper and beneficial to the public.
