A Supplement to the act †, entitled, An act to incorporate
a Company
for the purpose of cutting and making a Canal between
the River
Delaware and Chesapeake Bay. Lib. TH. No.
3, fol. 426. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS during the time of war against the United
States of
America, the completion of the work of the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal would be greatly beneficial to the United States, by
forming the great link of an inland navigation of six or seven
hundred miles, and thereby establish a perfectly safe, easy and
rapid transportation of our armies, and the munitions of war,
through the interior of the country, and which would never tend to
operate as a cement to the union between the States: And whereas,
the prosperity and the agricultural interest of the state of Maryland,
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Delaware State,
are more deeply interested than their sister states in the useful
work of opening a communication between the Chesapeake bay
and the river Delaware, by means of the said Chesapeake and Delaware |
