Mr. ROCOCK said that his county was no in
,ercsted in the canal. The policy OF The State
was 10 make the most of this unfinished and un-
nroftable work. Large expenditures, undue and

one ever expected that it would be profitable I'M

He regarded an appropriation 10 this work as an
effort TO engratt live branch upon dead trunk.
