Company. The proposition Of the Canal Com

the general views Of the Rail Road Company
heretofore expressed. The question however

the better designed for the communication con-
templated? Neither company, it is feared, can
be led to believe that its own work is inferior to
that of The other In the mean time the balance

cuted with energy, and may be completed for
that distance before any decisive understanding
will take place between the two companies.
