Mr. Necdhom Of Bristol Rutland inerest ,aoved to dismiss
the bM This motion supported Needham Of
toll and Ktr of Fairhoven-boh the Rutland interest
and opposed by Messr Cuts Of Harand Central and sabn
Of Georgia, Vermont and Canada)
An adjournment had, and when the bill again up,
had been made apparent by the the motion post
pone the Senate that the Rutland Pasumpsc
would pretty generally combine against the bridge Rouse
Point Mr. Carpenter Of Nortfed Centra) therefore requested
withdrawal DISMISS order permit
strike from the bill every thing relating to the bridge at Rou
es Point This conceded and the amendment adopted
the bill simply prorded for change Of the line Of the Vermont
and Canada road to meet the Ogdensbgh road by r5
Rouse Point ,ch the right bridge outlet Of Ms
ssquo Bay point entirely within the jurisdiction of the State
and little used for navigation. All the guards in the bill
taned that of forcing the road six eight miles from thu
direct line the Central road for the exclusive benefit
Burlington and the Rutland road But this liberal concession
in vain all concessions vain. The bill still opposed
by MeSsrS Bottom Of No Hacen and Kredge Of Faraun
with undmnished ZEAL the ground that navigation would b
mpeded which Congress possesses rsdiction and also
that bridging this outlet would obstruct the flow of from
bay On the other hand the power of the State defended
shown that other States had brdged naygabe rivers suc
Charles River, Mass and of ocean between
States as Portsmouth, N H This important point wa
handsomely, and think concluvely argued, by Mr. CUTS
Hartland To the other point Mr. Carpenter Of Mortified
piled proving through the chairman of the
that the bridge would afford outlet far than the voum
of all the flowing into the bay. Mr. adams Of Milton al
reminded the House that had just given bridg
solid embankment for highway the sandbar
which by the largest of all the outlets both Missisquo
and ST. Adams bays But these considerations seemed really
pass unheeded did others that strongly pressed by ss
