Messrs Editors.-I notice your remarks
in regard TO the celebrated Augusta Bridge
Case, aud agree with you thar Mr.. Shuilz
has the gift of continuance in a most re
markable degree. He has certainly prov,
ed one thing. viz: That he is fully con.
viuced of the business Of his cause, and
that he frmlssbelieves the Courts of his
country may yet do him justice. Some
of the recent decisions in the us. Supreme
Court are calculated To- urge him forward
with increased vigor. How low has it been

sons all over the country for pursuing a
cause which had, according to their story,
