we are sorry to perceive that proposition, which
was before the lie stature of Penn,yIUania to ap-
propriate even 5000 dollars (138OOO being first
proposed) to aid in completing the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal, has been rejected in the House of
Representatives Of that state after long and late
debate, by AZ votes, to Al We are not only sorry
but surprised at it. In national view, the c is no

little, that IS o any thing like the same Importance,
as thai short canal and even if were less impor-
tant or would be less beneficial TO the City Of Phil
adelphla (and Of course the whole state Of Penn
syl'anla) We should have supposed the pride OF lha
great state would have repealed the idea of suffering
herself to be outdone in generosity by the Stale of
DFtdUare. This little State has voted $4,000 dol
lars towards this work. IL the same proportion to
her wealth and population, Pennsylvania ought to
have contributed to this work, rot rs 600 dollars
mr. l58 600 dollars merely but three hundred thou
sand dollars; which sum, If we are DOT mistaken
would have made The Canal out AID out. We are
the more surprised, because tbs same body which
rejected this appropriation, voted Co. 900 dollars 70,

hanna which will be exceed ely little benefited BY
any expenditure Oh so small scale as that.
