Esq., contractor for the eastern section of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, from Judge Wright, engineer in chief, and the majority of the board of directors : (among other things by the gross and palpable violation of the contract, in the iniquitous reduction of the prices which were fixed when that instrument was signed, sealed and delivered) : whereby the contractor has been ruined, the completion of that great national work will be very considerably delayed, and the interests of the state and of the stockholders of course materially injured / by the Author of An appeal to the stockholders [i.e., Mathew Carey].
