THE BRIDGE.
Wo seek to oM'.biish th-» fi«hi -n of canvassing
freely and fully, n* is done -Ist-where, in litu -ws*
pnperi.cvmy puhlic qunsiion which mnyuriso: ho*
pi"g that such a course will not only excite every
i m in to think of tie* prosperity of tho city, but in
duce every onu to move and net under tho best
stminiels for tho public good. This subject requires
more mature consideration than is usually given to
public mntler* by the citizens generally of Suvnu-
nHh. It will have nn cflT-ci in bringing mora pro
duce and small trade to ihu city; hut it may havo
.an unfavorable efli-cl upon our prosperity through
• r rha financial arrangement! necessary to build the
■bridije ; and ita position may he. made such us to lie
evcpi-oingly injurious to our harbor and tho naviga
tion of the river, n» well ns destructive to the inte
rnists of many. The revivers mid actors in ihis
measure, will, nn doubt, ho fully prepared to show
what will be the inctwised amount qf trade. And
, wo trust that some of those who hove boon appoint
ed guardians of the city, will exp uin fully what is
its ability to pay for this project; and if .taxation
jnust I hi resorted to, whether tho am iinil. necessary
.will bo such a* wjll hot Iks too onerous oven to tho
widow and the orphan; and whether it m>y not
have the Mlkct of depressing the spirit which is «o
resolutely engaged in carrying out o ir great umlcr-
.takings, the Rail Road and ihe Canal, and our oth
er means of communi •alien with the interior of tins
.Suite and the Great West.
.Tin* rj^r opposite tho town is narrow, and tho
anSienmodations for shipping so cnutrncto-J, that w-'
nro daily, even in the present infancy of our trade,
seeking t > enlarge them. Our cotnmercu, as com
pared to what the natural advantages of our loca
tion prorqise, is Ltt.r.!PCTUN, and wu should sedu-
l-iu-ly endeavor to ihcr-aw it. And tho proposal
of a bridge across the river, ne«r th- middle of the
town, is certainly not only a proposal to ohstnipt the
•Yroe navigation, but to fill up that space on tlm sur-
^/aces, every foot of which we Ijopo „no day to sec
— wanted, and for more than the me/n swinging of
\t *hip» to their anchors. Tins obstruction U q the
i ^urfaco however, though a sngious ybjucti^ may be
iut i trifling one, whoa compared ly tlio probable
onsequenecs «t thq Imtiom. We, iw?t qn)y yf the
resent generation, have, but our aacojigrs had, fir
ears, been trying to romovo some ohiiiude} in ^l|o
iver, end to inaeuso it* de^iii. Before title pj/i*
od, and at this moment, olHcors of thn governmnn *
have bran and are snrinm-d hero, with larg.- appro,
print ions, whose duty it was and is made to Im
prove the navigation of our r.vor: and while this I*
going on, we gravely m *et in *erlous dolihorMlon,
an I propose in build obstructions nt a largo cost.
M.-thinks we ho ir soum -mo m tlmir wisdom «ay, ii
bridge w ill i-o no obsmi uion, either at tlm top or in
the bottom of the river, and refer to other cities.—
We, in greater-win-lam, mu*t request thorn to com
pare closely and uccurnn-ly this river and its
chances top and bottom with other river*. It islhi*
river we look nt. It was heio before tho city—and
wu* the* cause of it* foundation and iu incienso
Injure It, nn-l tliwro is an nn-l to nil our expected
gn-ntness. Examine minutely the consrquences of

n'nd the dividing of thochanm-l just below, by Fig

Bo ow we have the qf tho hotlqm ui),l t||o

but u sliori distance from tho proposed «,to of tlie

of seme poriinn of our llarlnur. This subject
might ho pursued, qn-l many views suggested; hot
pretending In nn geirnae, we Irnve it for tho pie-
sent to those of more skill a id experience; and
Only suggest if ii bridge should bn determined upon,
lei it be pi n-ed s-» liir above tbo city that the Bank
which it will form shall not '•embarrass our com
merce;” and if one I* built, that ii shall he construct,
o l with a lull study of iu hydian'i^ and hjdrostnlir
clfi-et— A* In a bridge of a *ingle arch, we pie-
«iiuie if the span should mil h * to • gifl it. lhi)t the
expense might he too great; if not, the destructive
ness »f oiii climate to wood would forbid ul sogroul
ii cost it* erection.
Therei*'another elfi-ct which will and should he
hrnught to view, vizt tb it upon private qnd I9e.111
public lulorest*. Ifn bridge i* imilt nl tiny pari of
thn city, it must lessen the facility of approach lo
some wharves, and c«n*.-ipi -utly tlieir vnlqo. A
RVeut undertaking hi« h-qlt cmnnience-J by th»
Canal Company, find already has imjch money and
labour In-on expended to increase our iiccnmimulu-
linn (iir shi-iping.nndgivefaciliiie*, which Irnve been
much q-'edi-d, to the lumber t ado. A trade which
as now conducted, is a great detriment lo tfio river.
A bridge built below the en-nl most prove h ’ gr'-m

thq merits ofthe case that the sum total of the value

qs his yh-yr* hfwn bean known, they bnve been
Miuught ingenious and well adapted to llto purpose
