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.

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.
