to have a bearing upon the question oi the intention of the convention as to a very important part of their proceedings But as Mr Nor his friend appears anxious for some rea son to repudiate this

protest against the as sumption contained in a bill reported to the House cf Represent tires of the US that the constitution ofMichigan invested the legislature with power assent to a change of the

natural Basin of twelve feet water passing a bluff bank which can be wharfedtata very small expense In offering this property to the public there are many considerations which induce the proprietors to believe that it is destined at no distant period io become a City of great commercial importance The probability of the termination of the Canal at this point the beauty of the situation its being about the centre of Lucas County on the River gives it strong claims for the County Seal and which the proprietors flatter themselves will be established but above all being at the head of Deep Water
