The Memorial and Petition of the President and directors

I RrsrEcrfuLnf SnEwErn--
| THAT the work in which your Memofia'ists are
engaged, viz the opening of Canal communication from,
the Chesapeake to the Delaware aft having long anguish
ed appears again likely revive and only require the
patronage OF the Legislatures of the several states who
'nmedatcy interested init to bring the public spirit of in,
dvduals into operation, in orero complete it. Your Me
moralsts therefore feel it duty due to the public again
to solicit the attention Of the Legsu of Delaware the
subject On this occasion your Memoralists will
into history of the Canal except briefly state that after
having been begun carried for considerable time with
every prospect OF success, stopped for of funds
arising from the extreme demand for money at the times
which, whatever may have been otherwise suggested, hs9
been the sole cause that has mpededh.
Yoly Memorslsts beg leave to remind your honorable
house that the importance Of this Canal has been universal
" acknowledged for great number Of years and watc4
yer difference Of opinion has arisen relative local pos
ston of one fact is anthat it may be executed in
many places, and moderate expense compared to its
great benefits and that the precise choice of route will
with proprey devove the united body Of Old and new
Stockholders who may find funds 10 complete it.
If this Canal considered part only Of great na-
tona communication, would doubt obtain the counte-
nance and support OF the Legislature Of Delaware But
there many peculiar features in which may be consi-
dered of great local benefit to this state alone CON

of great local benefit to the state.
At this moment the importance of attending to every
object Of domestic improvement increase the anguish

mercc, has excited great attention. In the city Of Pbia
dephia number of public spirited individuals are anx.
ous to revive this work; and similar spirit prevails both
in this State and Niayandbut the public aid is still wan
ted to lead the way Conditional acts for the relief of the
Company were passed years ago by the states Of
Pennsylvania and Maryland which only required the aid Of
the state OF Delaware to confirm them At present the
Legislature Of Pennsylvania has taken up the business a.
fresh with great spirit and it is probable Maryland will do

the state of Delaware, whose soil the greater part Of
this work is to be executed and who must derive great
benefit from should unite in the measure indeed this

Your Memoriaists beg leave to state that from the data
afforded by number Of calculations at once Of the cost
and productions of this Canal there but little doubt it
will pay large interest upon the Stock and prove avalua-
Bile investment f whatever sum the Legislature may sub
scribe to it, of whatever funds they may place in it.
Your Memorass therefore pray the attention of your
honorable House to the premises and that you will give
your aid and patronage to the great work they represent
