has lost her commercial trade beyond recovery
and recommends that "she turn her attention
to the encouragement of those manufactures
which might easily be induced to locate here"

TO his present position; and upon the other
point he may represent the wishes of some
other community, but he does not reflect the
sentiments of Portland people, nor state fact.
