pie as Ear as they have the means consisenily with
other interests 10 open all the most important out
lets and avenues for the promotion Of agriculture
and commerce. The discharge of this duty should
not be confined or influenced by private or eslab-
lished interests.
The interior of Louisiana and Mississippi have
not been idle in occupying and culuyaiing their
abundant fertle SOIL and It cannot be expected that
this enierprisnp population will suffer themselves
long to be debarred from the advantages of cheap
aud expeditions transportation 10 some point an
theriver. Until sucha policy can be adopted they
must remain under the heavy burden ola large por-
ton of their yearly labor being wasted and lost 10
Them, by the present tedious and expensive mode Of
conveying their produce from their plantations to
where they can find alAarkel; and at the same time
under an equal burden ofexpense and cost To the
consumer Of merchandise for internal consumption
in return So long as ihoy remain under their pres-
ent embarrassed communication with the river, for
an exporting and importing market, Il may be said
they drag out but partial agricultural andcom-
mercial existence
The contemplated road will remove many Of the
obstacles and difficulties now existing 10 the inter
course between the interior and the Mississippi

Al the close of another year we hope 10 see this
