Let Us see what reason Justice there this
MI Mosby, when he Richmond. found th,
prevalent state OF sontmoaI, regard this improvement
To be such have stated GA consulting the m, mben
privately he aseertained that whatever might be the
views the question original one, could
be found willing, under existing circumstances, maks
the change desired by the people of Lynehburg In
word he what have felt assured OF the last
annual meeting OF the Stockholders that there now no
reasonable ground TO hope change the mode Of i'm
Povement-an opinion which the result verified when the
question. being put the House. there we believe
with bua solitary eIccPtion universal the pro-
position To substitute railroad toJ a canal
with this distinct perception OF the state Of thngs. Mr..
Mosby took OCCASION in the debate which arose in the
House Of Delegates the 9th inst. and in which Lynch
burg and her views and talked A. as the result
OF sordid and contracted sell interest," motive which when
heretofore imputed to her. have always repealed
y unioundcd and unusio defend her character and her
people from such an impuaon Ho stated her fairly
and adverted TO the broad grounds Of State which
they believed them to be yindicatcd. lie said however
frankly ana honoraby that he had nothing to conceal for
them OF for himseand earnest OF the sinccrity O.,

the preferable form OF improvement, &c. Can it be sup
posed, by any rghtJudging mind, that such cxhbi-
Ton OF rankness and fairness all compromised the
interests OF Lynchbuci Ii such an Impression exists
We are satisfied, by conversations we have had on the
subject, that they not only untoundcd but the re-
OF the fact Members OF the House with whom
Mr. VI. had peculiar affinity personal or political
volunteered to to him, ia Of that
he had placed his and her citizens the highest pos
bc groundthat he had removed from their minds strong
preludicCs against them, and that thing were possi
bic, they would aid most heartily cay their peculiar
views which they regretted that they felt bound by high
considerations Of public duty, oppose One of the mos,
distinguished members the House expressed these scnt
menS to rs IN the and emphatic manner and
VIC are assured that the impression made upon the whole
House far from being prcjudicia to Lynchburr was
cmnently favorable
We have extended tins article We arc aware 10 most
unreasonable t not unreadablc, length But we could
not say less m Justice either ourselves or 10 the delegate
from Lynchburg.
