Mr.. Garland of ~ in presenting this roso,,,,;o,
observed that he had hoped the subject would have
been brought before the house during the last week
by some gentleman more experienced Than bi,nsaIS
Buas he resided the James River and feIt in comran
win the people on Its banks anxious desire that The
improvement OF its navigation should be brought into
he notice oil the House as early possible he had now
proposed merely an inquiry into the subject which he
trusted the house would readily entertain. That a
great and absolute necessity existed for the en
IN question, was evident to all who had given the mat
Ter the slightest attention. The importance of lanes
river, and the consequent importance of the improve
ment oil its navigation could not but strike any one who

Mr. Garland OF Melon remarked that hi. ob;.., :;

was that gentlemen from other parts of IN. rou,t,,
had already brought forward other proiects and ~
w'ened he James RIVER plan stand on an equally fair

Mr.. Anderson Of b. said that he would pow off, a..

MI Williams Of Harrison, although from a 4 G ran
section oil he State, perfectly agreed with The gentle
man 'roa boteourf, and could not perceive The ob;e-
