. and the latter, per force, indirectly in th
hands OF this Irish clique. They and thei
sycophants have the sole management of tn,
Canal, and deal out the Offices with magnani
nous and liberal hand to44-the;r satel,ites
And, forsooth, what is its condition? A leah
here, dam out of repair there, and God.
knows-what somewhere else. 1t was but q
few days since that "lock-keeper," a few
miles below Cumberland, entrusted the shut
ing OF the gates to the friendly agency of the
water? And it, caring about as much for
their safety as himself, with admirable non
chdtance and sang .tIoid quietly dashed them
to pieces. And by our faith the water de-
serves more credit than the man, for it ac-
complished ,oithoa1 pay, just as effectively as
II the agency of Brutus' Goods with all
their thunder-bolts" had been called in. wba.
the man was paid to do. And so it proceeds
from worse to worse. We seem totally to
forget how dissimilar we are to Washington
and Frederick counties. They are aericul
tural communities. With them the export
and import of money is in reasonable ratio.
With us, throwing aside the Canal and Coal
interests, how suicidal the proportion. We
are suffering from a constant drain on our
money market from other and foreign mar
kcts. The incoming profits accruing from
the sales Of our agricultural produ is are
totally inadequate to refill the vacuum that
is yearly increasing. Are we not compclled
to look to the prosperity of the Canal and
Coal interest as the essential element of our
own? Why, our very moneyed vitality CEN
tralizes in and draws its existence from the
successful cooperation of these two interests
And yet are we thus tamely to submit to this |
dlsgracefnl msmanagement of these two
great bulwarks of our prosperity, thereby
entaiIing upon us n total prostration of orr
interests, this Notwithstanding stagnatioD il,
business, and oil the ills and ann"yances of
tight money market?
The President of the Canal, Hon. Pill Box
Esq, one of the originators and pledged rp-
p rters of the Canal Bill--a bill acknow-
lodged on all sides and by al parties as emil
ncntly calculated to amcliorate the PROSTATE
interests of the county. and which manifcstly
would in few years have increased the valu.
