iecl on all its bearings; advocating the justice and
reasonabeness Of our demand upon The General
Assembly for The fright OF way" and enforcing
in his powerful manner, the conviction OF the
utility Of such an improvement as the Baltimore
company propose bringing through this poriion OF
our Stale Other gentlemen addressed Inc con-
yention, oil which due notice will be taken in The
