all the cxtravagant and liberal appropriation
have been made mud expended for Tie benefit
Of the large towns and ciiics, and the wealthy
COUNTIES generally throughout the State. Ills
Is what We term unfair, unjust and unequal
lie ri.lation, which sooner or later must be
rcmcdicd, and we hope c'cr long to hear Of the
passage Of bill anl that enough money will
be appropriated to enable the above named
gentleman To- make a full aud complete geo
logical survey Of our State.
Prof. shalcr's lecture on the 10Th 81 Deem
bcr, at Representative Hall in Frankfort, GER
tainly contained enough good reason and ar
guncnt why this bill should be psss,d ~ also
the emigration bill. We again urge the nee
c..ary appropriations As we believe that these
two bills, IL passed, will in a short time show
their good effects AMI he conducive TO the
general interests Of the State Of Kentucky.
