South Branch intelligencer. [volume] (Romney, Va. [W. Va.]) 1830-1896, 1837-04-22
To the People Of Hampshire.

l have lately learned that there is
some objection being made to an act
which was passed by the last Legisla-
ture, for which |, as a member Of that
body voted, 'to improve the naviga-
ton of the South Branch. NO one is
more free to admit the right, and even
the duty, Of the people to review the
acts of their public agents, than myself.
That bill, as reported from the commit
tee of Roads, provided thatif the cotn-
ties of Hardy and Hampshire would
each raise $500 this year, and $500
next year, making in all $4,000, then
the State would appropriate like sum.
1t provided, too, that the money
should be raised by the counties, as O.
ther county levies are raised.--To this
/ objected, stating to the patron of the
bill, the member from Hardy, that I
was very sure the county Of Hamp-
shire would not raise the money by a
head tao, upon which he agreed that he
would amend it so as to raise the mo-
ney by tax on property; to which |
did not object, as it would be DIPLOMA
ny with the counties, or either ofthem,
to accept the act, or not. When the
bill had passed to its third reading, (then
not amendable,) it still contained this
obnoxious feature. The only way to
obtain the desired amendment then,
was to reconsider the vote on its Sc
cond reading, or to have It done in the
Senate. The latter course was prefer
red, and the amendment was made by
the Senate, at my instance. | am not
well informed as to the condition of the
navigation fthe South Branch, but we
have all heard ofthe breaking of boats,
and the loss Of lives and property by
the distractions in that river.-Now is
it right, Or is it wrong for the Common
wealth, by an act of the Legislature, to
offer to aid the people Of these coun-
ties, by an appropriation of money to
remove those distinctions? or do the
people want representative whowouid
refuse such aid, for them, when the Lee
gislature shall offer it and deny them
the privilege Of saying whether they
will accept it or not7 Such a course
would be novel one!
If the counties accept the aid as Oh
fered in that act, it is thought the nav,
igation Of that River may be lmProve:Su,
--ifthey do not accept, no harm Will
be done-no good will De done
| make this statement that my iaul.'
Il fault Il be, may be fairly understood
knowing that it will be fairly passed up
or make it too, because, by bodl-
" disability, I am for the present pre-
vented from seeing the people.

Confidence does not revive in the
least. The failure ofthe Express Mail
is now ofno great consequence to us.
1t can bring us but bad news, and at
tempts on the part ofmoneyed men and
moneyed institutions TO profit by the
present derangementin trade. The is
suing OF bonds or post notes in this city
has been talke of, but whether it will
be effected is doubtful. Money is as
scarce as ever. The practice is obtain
ing of suffering to be protested all &C
ceptances which the acceptors have not
been placed in funds to meet. This
will relieve IN some measure the oNus
upon our community, and transfer il to
other parts Of the Union, to be borne
by those who have assisted in over
trading. But the scheme is not IN ac-
cordance with the great rulss.o of com
merce. 1t may work gieater evils
than 1t is intended to remedy.
Meantime produce is falling. Flou,
has receded one dollar. Cotton is a
mere drug. We hear of small sale
Of middlihg quality as low as 6 Sd

considered as having received check
that it cannot recover from. What re-.
mains to be done will only be the drag.
