Manchester would be indeed q grand affair to
behold from this side Of the river. With
these advantages for adornment and the ele-
CANT works Of Art, 1t has noble advantages for
commerce. With water power, and with
wharves for sea-going ships, she has extensive
resources for manufacturing, and very fine
facilities for marine commerce.
Now, Manchester can in no other way avail
herself OF these admirable advantages so well
and SO rapidly as by establishing q free COM
munication between the north and sou tn sides
Of james river. Let her, in effect, continue

enjoys in the public works which have cost SO
many millions Of dollars, and which termi-

along the thoroughfares of her prosperous
neighbor, aud direct them through her own

In point Of fact, the number Of Southern

more important, those Southern Presidents
were not chosen by a sectional party, nor as
sectional represen tatives. nor with The slight

and exclusively as the representatives Of ma
