WABASH AND OHIO CANAL.

It has been frequently stated that the Ca

nal will afford the means of paying the. in

terest of the debt of Indiana; and some have

even ventured to assert that, besides the interest, it would give something considerable towards paying off the principal; but none, as far as we have seen, have given any data from which the people might be able to form an opinion of what could really be' accomplished in this way. We have bestowed upon the subject a good deal of attention, and have made some calculations in regard to it, which have produced results so very extra

ordinary, that it is with considerable diffi

dence we now lay them before the public,

We will state, however, as'explicitly as we

can, the grounds upon - which we have

made those calculations, eo that every one

man inrlao for liimqplf hnw Fir tlitg nrf en

millions of people, without taking into the account the States of Illinois and Missouri.

We have shown as above, that, from the trade

of three million's of people, our canal will; produce upwards of one million of dollars, ! consequently, from the trade of eight mil-

ions, it must produce nearly three millions

of dollars; so that, by the application of thej good old rule of three to two given quantities, we arrive at the ' enormous result of

upwards of two and a half millions as the annual rec eipts from our canal, from and after the year 1SG0, besides the yearly in

crease which, must necessarily arise, after

that year, from the continual augmentation of

the population and the increasing cultivation of the soil. We acknowledge this result to be so astonishingly great, that it may well startle the belief of the most sanguine, and

we will, therefore, endeavour to present the

matter in a light which we think very few

will be inclined to dispute.

We have shown from data, which we hold

to be unquestionable, that, when the Canal is completed and our population has arrived

at three millions, the receipts from the tolls,

by the trade of Indiana alone,will be upwards

of one million of dollars. Let us now sup

pose that these receipts will only amount to

$500,000, and surely every one must allow that this estimate is exceedingly low. Let

us also suppose that the trade ' of all the Southern States will produce $500,000

more; and it will be passing strange indeed,

if with a population of upwards of five mil

lions, it does not produce a great deal more

From this we see that, even the very lowest

estimates which any rational man could

think of making, give, in sixteen years from

the present time, a clear income from our

canal of one million of dollars annually.

We will now proced to enquire in what period of time, when applied annually, this

CONGRESS. f

On the 10th inst., in the Senate, an unu

sually large number of memorials against any change in the tariff, were presented, by Mes-

sre. Bates, Archer, Evans, and others. - Mr.

Archer presented a memorial of this charac

ter from Richmond. He said it was rather

extraordinary to have such a memorial from south of the Potomac. The memorialists say it will be folly to shut their eyc3 against

the benefits of the present tariff, and to cut

it down in the very midst of its beneficial

operation. JVir. Crittendou m presenting a

similar memorial, took occasion t: say that

it was his conviction that no change in any form, would be made at this session cf the

tariff of 1842 ; that the Senate would consent

to none, and that the country ought to be

set at rest on the subject.

Mr. Evans, from the Committee on Ways

and Means, reported a bill to provide for the

payment of evidences of public debt in car-

tain cases. It has reference to cancelled

Treasur notes.

After the disposel of some unimportant

business, the Senate resumed the consider

ation of the tariff resolution Mr. Colquitt, of Ga., replied at great length to the speech of his colleague, Mr. Berrien. Mr. Choate

then got the floor, when, after some discus

sion of the propriety of a naval depot in the

West, without coming to a vote, the Senate went into Executive session.

In the House, sometime ago I.Ir. Brown, of Indiana, by way of amendment to a reso

lution introduced by Mr. Kennedy, of Mary-

NEW YORK ELECTIONS. - " We extract the following from the Louis

ville Journal of Tuesday: f

New Yoek Harper' Elected. We"

have lost the New York election and so have

the Locofocos. The Native Americans have carried the day, and elected Harper mayor by 860 majority over all. They have also carried 13 or 14 of the wards for common council, and have a majority of 16 in that

body. Harper's vote was 22,951: Franklin

(VVhig) 3,943; Coddington (Locofoco) 18,158. Of course, most of the Whigs and many

of the Locofocos voted for the American ticket. Brooklyn. The New York Express, of Wednesday, says : "The Whigs have nobly triumphed in our

sister city. They have carried two-thirds of

the aldermen, and the entire Whig ticket in a majority of the wards. "Sprague, : the Locofoco candidate for mayor, is elected by about 200 majority, owing to many Whigs having voted for Rockwell, the Native American candidate. - The Whig and Native American ma

jority over the Locofoco candidate is about

900." , Albany. The Whigs have carried Albany by a" majority of C23. At least 14 Whig members of the common council are elected. .

The picture is sustained in its breath beneath by two cornucopias, opening outwards, and presenting an abundance of cultivated produce, each various specimen of the fruits being exquisitely painted. The circle embracing the potrait is surmounted by an eagle, in hostile attitude, forming in itself a feature which, apart from its connexion with the whole, bears the" stamp of the artist's excellence. Under the 'picture, appears the following motto, in gold letters 'In all assaults our surest signal.1 The reverse side consists of a large circle, formed of a chain of the States, each link of which encircles a painting of the arms of one of the States, New York occupying the base and Pennsylvania the upper most position, as the keystone of the arch. The space in the centre of the circle is filled with the following words, in gold letters 'The

will be bordered with crimson drapery. It will be suspended from an elaborately carved gilt scroll, and supported from the beak of an eagle

The . Countries interested in a permanent tho

York, via. the Wabash Valley.

The Wabash River drains a country but little

tributaries from the East and West. It would

the New England States, part of Michigan, part

of Ohio, part of Illinois, Indiana, and Upper

In our country, where the exertions of all,

or nearly all, arc constantly in requisition

either in Agricultural, Mechanical, or Mer

cantile pursuits, with the necessary appen

dages of Divinity, Law and Medicine, it is

manifest that the internal commerce ot the

Union must be in proportion to the popula

In the United States in 1840, there were produced between 600 and 700 millionsjof bnshelsof grain ; the seventh part of this was -wheat. Take then the seventh part of the above product, reecollecting too that corn is produced in the proportion ot two or two and a half to one

of wheat, to the acre, and the actual product of wheat would be above three hundred and eixtyfivo millions of bushels, or more than four time as much as is now produced in the 'U. States. .
