proposition to build tho four-traok road, without

way any road ought ovor DO built. What
tho exact meaning Of having ohartor from

thoro is general law, under which any COM

pany thus organized has to do ia to comply with
tho police laws Of tho several States, which it
would havo to do oyen under ol1ertor from
Congress-. It would have to pay taxos, aud Con-
greas cannot exempt private property In tho
Btates from State ta1os. Un1oss. therefore,
tho business gentleman In Holland wants
privileges and exemptions which noyor
hare boon, and mover should bo,
granted to him, no can gain moth

Wo do not moan to impeaoh tho valus Of Mr..

that tho English papora arc commenting upon 1t
