Canal, showing the present condition Of the
company, and Of the finances of the State of
Maryland, as connected therewith; and urging
with mnch zeal and earnestness, the policy of
making further appropriation to the Canal
Company, at this time. He was followed by
H. H. Gather Esq, in opposition, and by r..
M. Tidball in favour Of an extra session of the
Legislature, and an immediate appropriation
to the Canal


AT the conclusion Of the discussion, Mr.. NJ
G. Pei, offered the following Resolutions, which
were adopted by large majority, viz:


Resotved, That this meeting deeply regret
the failure of the Legislature of the State, 10
make any further appropriation to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal, for, however many of
us doubt the policy pursued in this State, in
contracting very large debt, to make roads
and Canals, we all concur in the opinion that
the completion OF the Canal TO Cumberland, is
the only measure by which the people of this
State can make provision for the payment of
interest on the bonds already sold for the ben
efit OF that improvement, unless resort is had
to burthensome system of taxation.


ResoLved, as the opinion Of this meeting,
that the Governor of the State ought to call an
,extra session of the Legislature, at an early
day; believing, as we do, that an appropria-
ton to the Canal Company would have been
made, at the last session, if there had been a
full attendance Of the members of the Senate,
when the Canal question was acted on.


Resolred, that the chair appoint seven per-
sons, as a committee, to communicate these
resolutions TO Governor GrasOn.


ResOlred, that the several Editors of the
newspapers of the State, be respectfully re-
|quested topublish the proceedings.


The chair appointed, Jas. J. Merrick, M.
A. Finlay, James Spencer, Isaac Nesbitt, Will
am Weber, Richard Ragan Sen. and Edward
w. Beatty, Esqrs., the committee to commu-
ncate the proceedings to the Governor Of Ma
ryland.
