IA project similar to the above attracteda great
deal o the attention The press and the people two
Or three years ago, md fora time little talked of
but protection levses draining canals, reclaimed

confer with the Legislature the subject and ask
contribution from the swamp land fund Of this dis
trct to aid ID constructing the aforesaid protection
leyee and canal. But the session being far advanced
and some opposition being made, nothing was accom-
plished After this the matter was lost sight Of went
under an eclipse and kept there, until our Jefferson
contemporary again brought it before the public.
The subject Is Of vast Importance to the inhab
itants Of the corporations named and If the repre-
sentatiyes Of those inhabitants in the Legislature
would turn their attention to matters Of great home
interest like this instead of egslatng to subserye
petty political ends, they would deserve to rank well
in the estimation Of their respective constituents
n We yet hope something may be effected of value,
and therefore invoke the attention Of our immediate
members in the Senate and House to the foregoing
statistics. @ 4.
