Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
Some of The papers in The western part
oil the State are INDUCING in violence
of abuse and railery against the Eastern
Shore, which we think their moments of
reflection will scarcely justify. Baltimore
also, gets II hot aud heavily, but let Bal.
rmoreans take care Of themselves.
The Hagers!own News holds forth az
follows:
6%Ealgimore gold and Baltimore Bar.
onlallsm have again succeeded in defeat
ing the bill Cor tle completion Of the ca
nal-the peoples only hope Of relief from
an odlous direct tax. Through an out
rsgcous inequality in representation, b.
which the negroes Of '!le Eastern Shore
have almost an equal weight a, the bgIlo,
box with the white citizens of ibis part Of
the Stale, Western MARYLAND has been
made to bow TO the exaciiun of Baltimore
city"
The Williamspors Banner, speaks on,
sl.us.
"Wi!nous minoing the matter any fur>
ther, we do not hesitate to say, tina, in no
place has this damnabIc spirit been so
fully exemplfed, as in The city OF Dal,i-
more. Neither can we, while we are on
This subject, withhold our analhamas from
those pimps of The Eastern Shose, who
either through delusion Or segvililv ran
der TO BGllimore's love o! gain. They
are infinitely more contemplate than Bal
tImore, for Baltimore has Something to
gain-lhey have molAing."
Now is not this too bad? is i,nnt un-
just, impudent, and ungra,efu9 Seduced
by the delusive promises Of those Yves,
tern counties, the Eastern Shore has time
after time agreed to let them have all they
asked, when it was not to benefit US, but
10 benefit them alone. Ever ,rustrul, ever
boun'iful, we gave TO them again and a.
gain, utter they had again and Osain de
ceired US. We are now ground down to
she dust with the harden which our gen.
crosby 10 them placed upon us. 1he lax
gaihercr is eiernally upon us for means 10
Pay The interest on money expended for
their erclusire benefit. And now they
heap abuse upon lis because the delegates
10 the Assembly from the Eastern Shore
would not be again gn1lrd by tie West.
They come into the Legislature with
nil asking ihat the States lien shall be
taken of the Canal TO allow q company
to finish it, and bring forward estimates to
prove that in ter years the revenue ollhe
canal will pay tina, company, and that the
Safes liens can then be renewed; bu,
whan their sincerity is pat to the test by
1he proposition tha! the liens shall be
raised tea years, TO allow the canal to be
finished, they show that they have no
faith in that which they ask us to take as
truth. They insis: on having the liens
raised for 'hir'y:fve years, and because
Eastern thoremeu will not agree to il,
they denounce them in the style above
quoted, Verify they are grateful as
well as modest set of gentlemen.
