This decision is virtual rejection of the
contract, for the next Legislature will not be
IN session to act upon the subject within The
time provided by the contract for the exchange

the 18th of February, and the condition is as
follows " provided, however that if this
agreement shall not be ratified by both the
said states within three months from the date
hereof, the same shall be null and void
Consequently no further proceedings can be
had under that instrument. This termination
of the business will be gratifying to a major
ity of tue citizens Of this State. The pur-
chase was deprecated by them, a. extrava-
giant, unnecessary and beyond the present
means and situation Of the State. And though
some land spectators might have been bene-

been oppressed with an heavy, useless and

out Of the fleets Of the United States and to pro-
tect the town. The neighbourng seaports are to
be more thoroughly fortified TO deprive the enc
