ture 10 the Of Virginia, for the incorporation of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has been rejected This *
hardly subject OF considering the shape the bill was
NV having been loaded with conditions and provisions not
10 ne found IN the Virginia law aud therefore inconsistent
VIII IT. Had the bill passed, would have required the
sanction OF both Virginia ana MARYLAND to the alterations

astonisIed to learn that, among provisions introduced
way OF amendment to the Harrisburg Bill was one to ne
vent the Canal Company from exercising Banking Drlra-
ge' ana another reserving the right of the State of Penn
savanna 1t should choose 10 tar part ofhe Canal which
should be within the limits of that State!
