the concessions now arw that were lately made
to the dissenters, for the enemies ol such ar

could only serve to augment the diOiciilnes by
allowing the contending parties, and particu

resistance and violence, which ihey have latter

when l.»zwell# Hay, Taylor, (iiles, and other

of democracy — for, although wo do not concur

I lie subject of Internal Improvement is next

it gives us pleasure to say that a more liberal
and generous disposition was manifested by the !
Legislature in its appropriations than, iindrr
existing circumstance , or from previous indica
tions, we had any reason to expect. This im
mediate section of country, particularly, will
derive great advantages from tue works audio,
ri. ed to be constructed, il the zeul and enter
prise id our citi/ms shall bear any proportion
to the liberality ol the Legislature. As at pre
sent constituted, however, we uerd not expect
the vigorous prosecution, by that body, of the
grand and important schemes of improvement
recommended hy the Charlottesville Conven
