The civilization and Split Of the age are oppoS'
ed 10 any restriction upon trade end commerce.
and will not tolerate any interference OF local
interests With those Of the State at large. This
is one Of the several reasons that have induced
us to favor transfer of the James River aud
Kauawba Canal to the Richmond and Alega

the lice Of that canal will help not ooy the
section Of ccuStry through which it runs and
Richmond. but the whole State, for whatever

salily, il greater or less degree, benefit oil
others. Tho bill to effaos this transfer having
