objection yet suggested to it, arises from tho fear entertain.
ed by gentlemen that the trade will be insufficient TO
sustain the enterprise and that therefore il will not prove
successful This objection believe is fully removed by
fact that five steamers Of the first class are now
running and progress of construction for the accommo-
daton of that very trade coastpise between Virginia and
the Northern cities which the Antwerp line proposes to
carry direct Iis well known that Northern merchants
are very in all business They engage
in any enterprise without knowing beforehand that it will
be profitable IT. them the foreign trade of Virginia alone
is sufficient, their estimation TO sustain those five steam
