Through a large extent of fertile, unsettled country, the value of which would be thereby probably enhanced fat beyond the expense of constructing it. The necessary arrangements preparatory to opening a road in this direction, such as examining the country and surveying and marking the route, would require but a small expenditure, and even the expense of clearing and making it, would be very inconsiderable so that it would be passable in the winter season. A consideration of the general advantages that would result from such a road, by increasing the value and promoting the settlement of a large body of the public lands, and also of the great accommodation it would afford to that part of our population residing on the territory watered by, the St. John's above the grand falls, by furnishing a direct channel of communication with the centre of the State, has given rise to these suggestions. Should they meet the views of the Legislature, it would be proper to solicit the cooperation of the Government of Massachusetts, as that state is jointly interested with Maine in the territory above mentioned.
