to open way for, to the cities and ports of Vir-

At the Commercial Convention in Balti.
more, few weeks ago, Mr.. Breckenridge, Of
Kentucky, preached this scheme and urged it
very warmly. From Lexington in that State,
he said, there were, or would shortly be, rail-
road connections with the whole West, South
west and Northwest. From Lexington 10
the mouth of the Big Sandy there was a char
ter, and the means had been provided, for the
construction of railroad. From the mouth
of the Big Sandy TO Parkersburg-to which
point the Baltimore and Ohio railroad he's a
branch. he informed them, was distance 81
only eighty miles. If baltimore would fill that
interval, lie assured them, she wonld have the
shortest, cheapest and best communication with
the Valley of the Mississippi of all the Atlantic
citles. He also answered an objection sug-
gested by some one, that Virginia might re-
fuse right of way, by insisting that the State
was too deeply committed to the principle of
free trade, to lay such an embargo upon inter
nal commerce.
1t is in aid OF such scheme as this, for di
verting from Virginia the trade for which
she is making such noble struggles, and to ob
tain which she has appropriated millions o
dollars, that Mr.. Lewis presents the measur,
