REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS.

OrrIcE OF THE CHEsApEAKE AND OHro CANAL Co.
FREDERIcK, APRIL 49, lS45.
To the Stockholders of The Che sapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, in general meeting assembled:
GESTLEMES Pursuant the charter Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company have called you together
the present occasion to submit to your consideration two seve
raj which have received all the sanctions required
from legislative authority, and only await your assent and
ceptance to become fixed laws.
The first amsndaory of the charter of this Com
pany, entitled An det further amend The act Incorporate
ing the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Compaay,' which
passed by the Legislature of Virginia the Goth day Of jan
uary 1914, confirmed by the Legislature of Maryland the
9Th day of February of the year, and assented to by the
Congress Of the United States and approved by the President
on the 7h day of February ls45.
The second is simple legislative enactment, entitled can
act 70 prorid for the completion Of The Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal 10 Cumberland, and far other purposes" passed by
the Legislature of Maryland the 10th day Of March, 1s45
The and motives that acuaed the Board in making
application for the amendment TO the charter of the Company,
above referred to, will be by reference to their memorial
to the Legislature of Virginia, copy of which viii be found
in the appendix No. and the importance Of the amendment
to the interests and webeng of the Company will be readily
appreciated by examination Of the law itself.
Its leading provisions enlargement and extension
land which, without this amendment would long since have
expired and left the Company the mercy Of the sovereign
ties that created it and express authority conferred the
President and Directors majority Of them assembled to
borrow money from time to time to carry into effect the objects
authorized by the charter of the Company, to issue bonds
evidences of such loans and pledge the property and
of the Company for the payment of the and the
interest to thereon such form and such extent
they may deem expedient, with provso saving the prior
rights liens Of the State Of Maryland under the mortgages
heretofore executed by this Company said State, except in
80 far the may be waived deferred postponed by
the Legislature thereof
The object Of this provso the assent Of the
Legislature Of Maryland to the general provisions Of the law
IL the act had contained the clause referred TO- could
never have received the confirmation Of the Maryland Legisla
ture inasmuch as such confirmation, without equva
lent provision might have been construed into genera
waiver OF the States claims indie finite amount, and o
all purposes authorized by the charter Of the Company I'm
der the law stands, however, whatever rights thu

good except in 80 far they may be waived by her ga
tive authority
BY obtaining this important amendment to the charter th

Imporlant from Texas.

We have a, length heard of The manner in
which the news of the passage of the Annexa-
lion Resolutions, has been received by the peo-
pie of Texas /, reached Galveston on The
18Th ult, and the impression produced was Of
mixed character One portion Of lhe people
seemed highly elated. They fred guns. ilu-
minated their houses, and kindled bonfres.-
The others, however, seemed any thing but sat-
sied with the terms of union which we propose.
On the same day that The above news reach
ed Galveston, British Iine-of-batle ship en-
tered that pori, bearing dispatches to Captain
Elliot, the English Minister. Il was said lha,
this ship had large amount Of money OH board,
and that the dispatches contained instructions
to Capt. Elliot, to offer to guaranty the nation
al independence Of Texas, provided she reject
ed the annexation resolutions. Ii was also re-
ported tha, the French government had offered
The same guaranty on the same conditions. In
few days we shall hear more.

whfg Triumph In Connecticut.

The Wings Of Old Conneciicu. achieved a
splendid victory in the recent election. They
have elected their Governor, Lieut.. Governor,
Treasurer, Comptroller, Secretary Of State. a
large majority Of both branches Of the Legisla-
ture-and the entire delegation to Congress, by
an average majority Of over three thousand
votes. Last year the entire delegation in Con-
gress were Locos; who voted for the admis-
sion Of Texas and the extension Of slavery
The resul. is all the most sanguine Whig could
wish. l, is gratifying to the party throughout
the country .ha. the late imbecile and time
serving delegation has been superseded by men
of intelligence and character, who will faithful
ly represen, the constituents, and help to sus-
tain the honor and integrity Of the Union.
