The Constitution Of Virginia as adopted by
the Alexandria Convention requires the State,
upon subscribing to any Internal Improve

oppressive taxation. Sd.

to pay subscription to permanent i'm
proyement, whose benefits inure to the future
generations, end who should, therefore, bear
affair portion Of the burden it imposes.
