by the complete construction of the Valley
Turnpike road, as in that event the expense OF
| such bridge would be incurred by the com
pany. But Il sufiiciency of the stock of that
company not having been taken, and it being
unprecedented that the subscription would not
be completed, an inquiry arose amongst some
OF our citizens whether some arrangement Ut
the nature above alluded to could not be
made with the company, by which the cree
ton Of the bridge might be procured, with
some aid to be afforded BY the county, on
terms beneficial to It's inhabitants. In order
that public sentiment in Augusta might ope-
rate upon the question, by the agency of the
county justices, unIettered by any difficulty a.
rising ont OF the terms of the general law a
bove spoken of, soIae Of Mr.. Stuart'S constit-
uents suggested to him the propriety OF lcgis-
lative action on the subject; and he, at their
request, introduced Il resolution directing Il
consideration by the proper committee, as TO
the expediency of law authorising the coun-
ty court Of Augusta, if they should deem it
advisable, to render the contemplated assis-
lance. | donot recollect the precise terms of
the resolution as to the mode of e:lectinp the
object. whether by subscription Of stock or
| otherwise; but it is obvious that the form of
the contribution, if any should he determined
upon, is whe3i3 unimportant ifcoupled with
pensation, by means of benefits 30 the people
OF the county-and the resolution being mere
ly one of enquiry, its purpose would be ac-
complished by general direction of the at
tention OF the committee to the subject, leav-
ing It's provisions to be considered and discus
sed in committee, and reported TO the House,
If the object should be approved of.
The above statement, ii will be seen at
once, removes any, the slightest cause for dis
satisfaction on the part of any portion of Mr..
Stuarts constituents, and will afford them all
the pleasure of knowing that the generous
confidence which they have uniformly repo-
sed in their representatives lin a more remark
able degree, believe, than has been bestow-
ed by the people of any other county in the
State,) has not on this occasion been mispla-
ced. Every one will perceive that Mr. Stuart
could have had no motive for dsregardinr
the general interests of. the county, and that
he could not havencted otherwise than he has
done without violation of one of his hiph-
est duties-a respectful attention to the views
and propositions submitted to him by any of
the people he represents. So far from mis-
representing his constituents, he has only
sought to afford an opportunity of having their
Will, whatever it may be on this subject, car
ried into effect. If he had refused to do so,
then would his conduct have merited the rep
rotation of his fellow-citizens.
