MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA.

Mr. Worthington (of Baltimore) has submitted to the H. of Delegates of Maryland, a series of resolutions,

In the 1st place, approving of the proposal of the President of the U. S. "to make full and accurate surveys of a great national canal route for connecting the Atlantic with the western country by a line passing through the seat of government;" and of the several routes through which the waters of the Ohio may be connected with those of Lake Erie-and also respectfully requesting, that the surveys may be extended to the canal routes for connecting the waters of the Susquehanna with those of the Ohio :

And in the 2d place, expressing the opinion, that before Maryland grants any rights or privileges in or near the Potomac, "for the purpose of improving its navigation," it is but just and proper, that the "southern and western boundary of Maryland should be fully and finally adjusted and settled"-and for this purpose, proposing that three commissioners should be appointed, to meet such commissioners as Virginia may appoint, to adjust the southern and western bounds of Maryland, and the boundary between that state and the , &c. and "for the purpose of obtaining the mediation and assistance of the U. States to facilitate the settlement of this long standing cause of difference, the President of the U. S is requested to detach from the corps of engineers certain officers with the consent of Virginia, to survey and lay down as well the south as the north branch of the Potomac, and thus to ascertain the true location of the boundary line between the two states, as well as the best and cheapest canal route from the tide of the Potomac to the navigable waters of the Ohio.

These resolutions to be transmitted to the President of the U. S.--and to the Governor of Virginia, for the purpose of inviting her legislature to co-operate in the proposed measures.

These resolutions have not been acted on in the Maryland Legislature.-It is impossible to predict their fate ; but is it not premature, thus to lay the substance of them before the members of our Legislature even in their embryo state.
