trumphed over every obstacle; but the repeal Of the
charter of the Franklin Canal Company has not set

over thousand farmers on horseback, the
greater part Of whom were from Harbor Creek.
Nearly all of these wore red leggings and sash Of
some kind around the waist. Their appearance was
certainly very imposing. There could not have been
less than five thousand persons altogether in the
streets today coun Ing those also who were in the
procession. Before the line of procession broke up
the Governor addressed the people in the principal
square, but his remarks not materially different

and Others, made speeches, after which the crowd
dispersed.
