specially requested to make such appropria-
ton as may be sufficient to erect wre-sus-
pension bridge across the Ohio river, connect
ing the National Road in Virginia with thai
in Ohio, SO as not 10 impede navigation, bu,
to facilitate the transportation of the mails.

hereby requested to transmit copy Of the
foregoing resolution to each of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress.

lutions.
