The Wabash and Erie Canal Once More. It ought to have been particularly noted, in our last article on this subject, that the joint resolution under which Judge SULMTAN was appointed, contemplated negotiations in relation to two separate and distinct canals, one of them being the Miami Canal, which was exclusively an Ohio work, extending from Dayton northwardly towards Lake Eriei and the other, the Wabash and Miami Canal, situated partly in Indiana and partly in Ohio, and at first designated throughout its entire length, as the Wabash and Miami, bat afterwards as the Wabash and Erie Canal.

Judge SOLLivah, in hii report to the Legislature of Indiana transmitting the compact, agreed upon by him and Mr. S1I1I.IHAN, stated that the Ohio commissioner declined to treat in relation to the extension or construction of the Miami Canal, or in relation to manner and terms upon which the Wabash and Miami Canal of Indiana should be connected with that work, or in relation to securing to the citizens of Indiana the right to navigate said Miami Canal on the same terms that the citizens of Ohio may be allowed and enjoy on the Wabash and Miami Canal.

To complete the discussion of the subject according to the plan which we marked out for ourselves at the beginning, it remains to be shown what action the Legislature of Indiana took in relation to the compact agreed upon by Messers. SILLIMAN and SULLIVAN, and also the subsequent action taken by Ohio and In* diana, in relation to the Wabash and Miami, or Wabash and Erie Canal, and the lands granted by Congress to Indiana to aid in the completion thereof. Before doing this we recall to the recollection of our readers the fact that the joint resolution to whieh Judge SULLIVAN owed his appoitnment, and which defined his powers, declared, that his proceedings should be subject to the approval or rejection of the Legislature of Indiana. The necessity of such ratification is also distinctly recognized as eisential to the validity of the compact in at least three of the separate articles or paragraphs of the compact itself, and the Sth or last paragraph, in so many words, stipulates that the compact "shall be ratified or rejected by the Legislatures of the respective Slates, parties hereto, prior to the ls day of February, 1831."

Under such circumstances, of course the compact never took effect, or was of any binding obligation on either of said States, unless it can be shown to have been ratified by both.

Indiana did, by a joint resolution of her Legislature, approved January 19, 1830, ratify said compact subject to the condition that Ohio should assent and agree to two important amendments to said compact, which amendments are set out in said joint resolution, and were in substance as follows, viz: 1st. That the Legislature of the Slate of Ohio will agree that theiStateof Ohig shall commence and proceed in opening and constructing that part of the Wabash and Miami Canal which lies within her limits, simultaneously with the State of Indiana, or as nearly so as practicable, whenever the latter Rhall commence and proceed with opening that part of said canal which lies within her limits or, that the State of Ohio shall open that part of said canal which lies within her limits, by the time that the part of said canal which lies within the limits of Indiana, shall be opened. 2d. That so much of said compact as is in the following words, to wit:* "But it is fully understood, and it is agreed by and between the contracting partus aforesaid, that if the State of Ohio should fail, after having ratified this contract, to complete that part of said canal irhich shall lie within the limits of said State, a« nforesaid, within the time stipulated in this contract, then the said lands hereby agreed to be conveyed to the State of Ohio shall revert to the Stale of Indiana, and the State of Ohio shall release to the State of Indiana, all the right, title and interest she shall have acquired therein by virtue of this contract or otherwise and it is further agreed and stipulaud, by and beticeen the contracting parties as aforesaid, that if the State of Ohio shall have sold or othericise disposed of said lands or any part of them, then in case of failure as aforesaid, the State of Ohio shall pay to the State of Indiana the amount of monies for which said lands have been sold, and which shall in no case be less than one dollar and ticen-ty-five cents per acre," °BK

ARTICLES THRRROF.

FIRST AND SECOND

This joint resolution, containing this conditional ratification, required the Governor of Indiana to transmit it to the Governor of Ohio, to be by him communicated to the Legislature of that State.

Here, then, we have a ratification by Indiana of the compact, but with two material and important amendments thereto requiring the action of the Legislature of Ohio.

Of course, if Ohio failed to assent to these amendments, or failed to ratify the compact with (he amendments proposed by Indiana, the entire arrangement fell to the ground, and nothing in the compact ever became binding on either of the States. In other words, it never became a compact between these States for want of ratification by the Legislatures thereof respectively.

We aver that the Legislature of Ohio neverdid ratify the proposed compact either with or without the amendments proposed by Indiana, and we challenge the Toledo "Commercial," and Hon. W. W. GRIFFITH, author of the joint resolution passed by the last Ohio Legislature, which oetentatiously recites and parades the proposed compact of 1S29, as though it had something to do with the obligations of Indiana to Ohio in relation to the canal.

The "Commercial" boldly asserts that the agreement made in 1S29 by the agents of Ohio and Indiana, "was duly accepted and sanctioned by the Legislatures of the two States." To this averment we plead the general issue, and say that not a shadow of evidence can be produced in proof thereof.

Ohio having failed to ratify the proposed compact, as proposed to be amended bv Indiana, the Governor of the latter

State annually, for several years, called the attention of our Legislature to the fact that Ohio would neither agree to construct that part of the Canal within her limits herself, nor authorize this State to do it, and finally he suggested the possibility of making the Canal with the consent of Congress, on a less direct route through the then Territory (but now State) of Michigan. This brought the matter to a crisis, and the Legislature of Indiana, by a joint resolution, approved, December 26,1832, directed the Governor to commnicate without delay with the Governor of Ohio touching the contemplated extension of the Wabash and Erie Canal through that State so as to procure from him a special message in relation thereto to the General Assem bly of that State, then in session at Columbus, asking immediate attention to the subject "IN ORDER TO AFFORD THIS STATE SOME CERTAINTY UPON WHICH AVE MAY SAFELY PREDICATE OUR ULTIMATE COURSE OF PROCEEDING." Gov. 2SOBLE, of this State, promptly transmitted a copy of the joint resolution to Gov. LUCAS, of Ohio, who immediately laid the same before the General Assembly of that State, and thereupon that body passed resolutions stipulating that if Ohio should ultimately decline to undertake the completion of that portion of the work within her limits, before the time fixed by the act of Congress for the completion of the Canal, she would on just and equitable terms, enable Indiana to avail herself of the benefit of the lands granted, by authorizing her to sell them and invest the proceeds in the stock of company to be incorporated by Ohio, and that she would give Indiana notice of her determination on or before the 1st of January, 1838. This action of Ohio was communicated to the Legislature of Indiana in December, 1833, and being far from satisfactory to that body, the proposition to divert the canal through Michigan began to be seriously agitated.

Of course the members of the Ohio Legislature were soon informed of the new direction which might be given to the canal, unless wiser and more liberal counsels should prevail in Ohio, and the result was that Ohio herself, in January 1834, took the initiative (not in an effort to give validity to the proposed compact of 1829, but), in opening fresh negotiations on a new basis to secure the completion of so much of the Wabash and Erie Canal as was situated within her limits. This initiative consisted in a preamble and resolutions, passed by the Ohio Legislature, January 27,1834, and submitted by Gov. NOBLF, to our Legislature on the 3d day of February, of the same year. They read as follows, viz: "Whereas, The Congress of the United States has granted to the State of Indiana a quantity of land lying in the State of Ohio, 'to aid said State in opening a canal to unite at navigable points, the waters of the Wabash River with those of Lake Erie and whereas, the State of Indiana is authorized to convey and relinquish to the State of Ohio, upon such terms as may be agreed upon by said States, all the right and interest granted to the State of Indiana to any lands within the limits of the State of Ohio, granted to the State of Indiana for the purpose aforesaid and whereas, it is understood by this General Assembly that the State of Indiana is desirous of conveying and relinquishing said lands to the State of Ohio, upon condition that the Slate of Ohio will construct that part of the said Wabash and Erie Canal, which lies within her limits, within the time limited by the law of the United States for constructing the same, and in all other respects agreeably to the provisions of said law of Congress, and that no higher rates of toll shall be charged to any person using said canal than may be charged to citizens of Ohio for using the same therefore "Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the State of Ohio does agree to accept from the State of Indiana, a conveyance and relinquishment of said lands upon the aforesaid conditions, and Ohio agrees to select said land. "Resolved, That the Governor be requested to forward to the Governor of the State of Indiana, a copy of these resolutions, with a request that he lay the same before the General Assembly of Indiana."

Now, be it remembered, that in this preamble, and in these resolutions, we have the State of Ohio herself declaring what she was willing to do, and what she understood Indiana to be willing to do, and not one word is said about either State keeping her end of the canal in repair, or in good navigable order.

What then, becomes of the assertion made in thejoint resolution of Mr. GRIFFITH, before mentioned, that it was "well understood between the parties that the said State of Indiana was in like manner to construct and hiaintain in good navigable order from the line dividing said State, into the interior oi said State of Indiana, as far as she accepted and received the grant of land under the act of March 2, 1827, a canal in all respects equal to that portion of said canal within the State of Ohio?" Where does he find this understanding? Does he propose to add by parol evidence to the legisla tive acts of deliberative bodies? Or does he pretend that an implied contract can be raised between two States in relation to matters respecting which they have, after repeated negotiations, expressed their will through solemn acts of legislation? As we have before shown, any compact between States is void, unless it has the consent of Congress, given either before or after the making of the compact. How can Congress consent to or sanction an implied contract?

But the preamble and resolutions of the Ohio Legislature just quoted, do not constitute the final contract made between the two States, but only the proposition of Ohio out of which the contract grew. What then was the action of Indiana in relation to this proposition of Ohio?

We will conclude our presentation of the subject by answering this quest iorf and showing the contract consummated between the two States, in our next issue-

TACT is that peculiar skill, that nice perception, and that ready adaptation which assures success. It may be improved by observation and experince, but in its essence it is inborn and never acuired.

The Barbarism In Cuba It is a patient world. History proves it, jnd no chapter of history more than this interminally dull one of Cnban war. Since last October it is the fourth year of that insipid tragedy, and any end of it seems aa far off as ever. Spain has a bad cause, her prosecution of it is worse, and the telegraphed reports of the business are if possible worst of all. The endlessly promised Spanish pacification is the last thing to be now looked for. According to the telegrams the insurrection has been killed and buried some hundreds of times, and yet the king of Spain and thirty thousand men are now going—of course —to cross the Atlantic to throttle the monster. Cortes and king and cabinet are excited, and meanwhile oft-conquered Cuba cares less for them than ever. Still the farce proceeds, tragic only in its prostration of the industries and ruin of the prosperity of a whole people.

Is it not shameful? Suppose that the Cubans have not thie natural right of seif-government, and that the infliction of a tyranny over them by a power beyond the sea is no aggravation of wrong, is it not monstrous that at this time of the world, at the gates of our own Republic, senile Spain is thus crushing a brave people in order to sustain chattel slavery among them against their will?

It will be remembered that emancipation in this country led intelligent Cubans to feel that their security and thrift, as well as duty, demanded that slavery on their island should also cease. Their representations to the Ministry to this eflect were met with disfavor and refusal, and this crowning oppression, undertaking to doom Cuba to barbarism and decay, drove her true friends to raise the standard of independence. Should not their cause enlist the heartieit sympathies of Christendom?

But the conventionalities of international law have been made an excuse for leaving the struggling Cubans unhel|»ed, to perish should they be overwhelmed, victims of a repressive war to which mercy has been a stranger. They have been hunted as pirates and outlaws, de nied any status as belligerents, their leaders shot when captured, and at times scores of them as prisoners executed at cnce. We have not stopped with looking impassively upon these horrors. To Spain our workshops have supplied arms and ammunition denied to the Cubans. Admitting that there has been some legality in this discrimination, or that it was bat the exceptional injustice incident to just rule, ought it to have no limit? Do the American people owe nothing to liu manitv, nothing to their neighbors, nothing to" themselves, in connection with this medifeval war?

Here is a land of rare fertility, capable of thousandfold its present productiveness, by nature our best customer, involving our security in war, and yet perpetually cursed by a foreign and hostiledominatin, tion at present.ruined by a Spanish war for slavery. Has not patience in this case at length lost all virtue? For neraly a century has the Cuban hope of freedom been cherished in the fond faith that the great and free people of the United States would prove its friend. Have we not at last reached the point where quite enough has been conceded to the claims of the usurper? Or can there never come a time when the American people may properly show their boasted love of liberty is not exclusively selfish? If not, then it it may be demonstrated that our interest joins with evrery nobler impulse

The Cuban situation is attracting just now something like the attention it deserves, and let us hope that the President's late reference to it and the discussion this may evoke, will result at least in a decisive attitude by our government. Spain's duplicity, broken pledges, and disregard of the rights of our citizens, and the contempt shown by her minions in Cuba for the United States authority, call loudly for such an attitude, and we suspect and trust that behind the quiet language of the President on the subject there lies a determination to act with energy in the matter.—St. Louis Democrat

YOUNG SUTTON was son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and was too hottempered for a Bishop's boy. One day he went into Saunders & Otley's shop, very angry at not having received some books he had ordered. He "blew,"indeed, until one of the partners intimated to him that his language was past endurance "I don't know who you are," was the answer, "but I don't want to annoy you personally, as you may not be the one in fault it's your confounded house that I blame. You may be Otley, or you may be Saunders. If you are Saunders, d—n Otley if you are Otley, d—n Saunders! I mean nothing personal to you."

thorizing us to demand the cessation, of the Spanish war in Cuba. In 1860 the exports and imports of the island were over seventy-four millions. In'1860 over fifteen millions' worth of lumber, breadstuff*, gold, silver, provisions, iron and steel manufactures, locomotives and machinery were imported to Cuba, four fifths of it in American vessels. Our own trade with Cuba was some three millions in '68, but has fallen off to two millions in '69 and about a third of the latter amount in in '70, when it should have been increasing to four, six and eight or more millions a year. That country can produce immensely in the staples of sugar, coffee, maize, cotton, rice and tobacco, and especialy needs our wheat, flour, and manufactures. Even under such a peace a3 Spain would grant, our trade would be severely restricted and heavily taxed, not for Cuban but for Spanish and anti-Cuban interests, and that to support a tyranny over the Spanish people. This country would have strong ground for vigorously protesting against such trans-oceanic rule on our coasts, but when a protracted and fruitless war is added, still further preventing the growth of industry and trade and prostrating commerce—a war against civilization as well as freedom— the American people will be but pusillanimous to submit indefinitely.
