are also appraised ofthe action of the Stock
holders on this important subject, in Feb
ruary last. We are not about, at this time.
to enter our protest against what was done;
nor even to express the regret we feel,
that the recommendation of the very able
report, made by Richard G.. Morriss. Esq,
as chairman Of the committee on tolls, wcre
not adopted. For the present. we are viii
ling to let by-goncs be by-sones. But we
must. nevertheless. keep our promise with
our readers. never to cease our efforts to
enlighren the public mind. upon the great
practical question of ,ransi, charges on tn.
inland commerce Of the country. or. in
other words. TO keep it informed of the
manner in which the taxing power is exer-
ciseJ. by the internal Improvement corpo-
rations of Virginia.
