the Constitution OF this Stale, by the introduction Of a-
ces therein, prohibiting the State from constructing and
from loaning Its credit aid in constructing any
road railroad canal and prohibiting the State after the

nuay than be sufficient pay the expenses the re-
pair and superintendent Of said canals and the expenses

any such restriciion-but recommending their
exclusion from the polls, as o race distinct from
