Ik would be madness, therefore, in the pinion of your Memorialists, ! for those entrusted with the. public weal, now to 'egislate on this subject, on the principle. i hat this connexion is impracticable, and the scheme visionary, against this weight of evidence.. and without an oiDosin opinion or circumstance save what tbt magnitude of the enterprise itself sug gests We have before us, however, - the , ex rnple of New York, whose schemes on this subject, from their magnitude, were considered during their operations, as visionary and impracticable, whereas, i: turns out, that their very magnitude -ha proved the cause of their moU triumphant success. And they are now etlecting tht improvement ot their tate in every other quarter j whilst these operations will finally prove a source of revenue it the State adequate to all its exigencies, without other'taxation. The magnitude of such projects, if they ate practicable, is the greatest rec ommendatton ; Itnd hence the impolicy 9. of diminishing, by dividing with other Mates, the practical results, and conse quently the power to carry them into ef- ect. I he Iriends of Internal Improve merit have always looked to the absolute power, which it is confidently, be4ieved this Commonwealth possesses over all others, to make within her own territory, and passing through the very heart of thV dtate, the best connexion between, the Eastern: and Western! waters, which can be made within the United States, as tht certain, and they once hoped, the spee dy means of insuring these public im provements, on which the regeneration: and, indeed, salvation of the i State de pend :; ; They have, therefore, rooked, with the utmost dismav. on the act of the nst assembly, as indicative at a total a- bandanmtnt of those public imDrove- .iieiits, .ind ail; their consequences. If he uhote of this Western trade will not justify the whole State in venturing on these gigantic imprrvtments, will not our giving away a portion, if not the a hole pi it, and giving away with itone- half and the most , enterprising half of our population, "and making - them, as ihey Have too long been, the ba'cW court try of Baltimore,; forever put an end to our tfiforrts on this subject ? t - - It seems to be taken for granted, bv the whole : estern nooulation. thii Virginia has abandoned any further im provement, of a nature to grasp; this Western trade, and to secure to them what they have been looking to for years ; arid therefore, tbev have been driven to t.yer your table with petitions, to be an nexed, m a commercial point of view, t xiiaryiand ; and that tsiitim ere shall be their seaport town. .

Fir want of enterprise in making roadsf &c. so as to seize on this trade, it has rtlled on through the whole extent ot our Siate, for forty. years;' until now our whole Srate, and every town in ir, not withstanding our great natural superiori- iyf has. become a back-country, either to Baltimore, or New York, and mut fot- ever continue in that humble andrvinnus condition, unless the present General ssemblv, in their.wisdom,1 shall ordain otherwise. Let i he law of the last ses sion stand, or pass that which the pet- t oris on your table ask, and the die is vast.

Indeed, If an i inland 'seasoaid navigation, from the Sound" to the various inlets along the coast," should -be made, and which is deemed tar frro impracticable, Norfolk would be a much more eligible and Jarge seaport town to the whole of North and great part of South-Carolina, than Ne York, and certainly much more so than Baltimore.0' -r":; '--W'-V: ' T'-"-J Let Norfolk ' be fixed on, then, as the Emporium of the Middle States, and let us examine bow she can be supported as such.
