We are gratiied TO see that an organized ef

We feel that Savannah is the natural outlet
for the great volume of southern and western
commerce, and that we can not only obtain
that direct trade which is so much needed by
the Improvement Of this port, but can create
more eIectuel and lasting commercial union
between the great northwest and the south
which will ema1cipate those sections from the
ueFcsess iinancial domination of the northeast.
In view Of these facts and of the inestimable
good 10 result from such relations aud from
these improved export AMI import
iaciHtles, we earnestly request our
county and primary alliances to pass
appropriate resolutions asking their i'm
mediate representatives in congress to do all in
their power 10 secure for Savannah the neces-
ssry appropriation to complete the work as
