Body
President of the Canal.
Our opponents having obtained control of the Board of Public Works, and consequently of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, are setting forth their preferences for different gentlemen as President of this work.— Among those named are Messrs MCKAIG, of Allegany, HAMILTON, of this county, LOWE, MAULSBY, HANSON, and DUVALL, of Frederick. Of course they will make a clean sweep from President to Lock Keeper, and then swear that they never proscribe men for opinion's sake.
