WABASH AND ERIE CANAL. IN SENATE OF THE U. S. : ' . - FatDAY, Dec: 27, 1844."The bill to grant certaiu lands to lhe State of Iudiana, to complete the Wabash and Erie canal, corning up in its order Mr. Hay wood moved that the third reading be deferred for a few days, in order that a memorial from citizens of Vincennes in relation to this canal and to the improvement of the river Wabash, might receive the attention and consideration of the Senate, prior to its final action on the bill now before it. -. Mr. White said that no decided remonstrance from any part of Indiana or - elsewhere had been made against this bill. It was true that a very small interest in Vincennes and tt3 neighborhood were anxious" for the improvement of the Wabash river, and were unwilling that the completion of the canal should cause any risk of this improvement being lost sight of. If the river really admitted of any improvement that is, if improvement were reasonably practicable -he would be in favor of it instead of the canal. But this was not the case. The improvement by slackwater navigation is altogether impracticable, if for no oilier reason, on account of the immense expense which would attend it. Besides the cost of darns to an amount not less than four millions of dollars, an interminable length of levees would have to be constructed to prevent the inundation of the river bottoms, which from Terre-IIaute to the rapids are from 3 to 5 miles wide, and below that point from 5 to 7 miles and with banks and bed of sand, such inundation would cause the loss of millions of acres now in cultivation, and prejudice the health of the country for miles around. It was because of the great width of the bottom lands and of the spring floods of the Wabash, rising from 20 to 40 feet, that the route of the canal was made to leave at Terre-IIaute the valley of the TFiibash, and to pass over the table land to the valley cf White river, and thence over another narrow isthmus to the

vale of Pigeon creek, through, which' it debouched into the Ohio at Lvansville. The canal when completed will be 450 miles long, a considerable part of it GO feet wide, and from 4 to 6 feet deep, and alto gether it will be the most useful as well as the most magnificent work in" the Luion. Passing through a regioL where supplies and transportation are cheap, it has already solved the problem that bulky articles may be cerried at a profit aloug its whole length. A great business was already doing on that part which was completed. The Wabash river was navigable for only three months in the year, and even then the navigation was uncertain. Mr. White then went at length iuto the topography and description of that river, and also into those of the canal. The completion ot the latter, he said, was easy; the improvement of the river, as a substitute for it, altogether impracticable under existing circumstances, lathe part of the river required to be improved there was a fall of 20 feet, and to cause a slackwater navigation 22 darns would be necessary : and, when the breadth of the river and other circumstances were considered, the immense expense attending their erection would be apparent. A considerable part of the canal had been completed and was now in operation; funds were in hand for the completion of ninety miles more; and it was to grant aid to complete the remainder, of about' ninety miles, that the bill before the Senate was introduced- Indiana may have been, charged, he would not say unjustly, with improvidence; but in the execution of this canal she has been eminently prudent and economical: it has been constructed at less expense than any other canal in the United States. The canal has already contributed largely to the commerce of the Union, and swelled the mighty stream of business at the city of New York- There were now 1,500,000 acres of land in the valley of the Wabash lying uncultivated, aud they would remain so until this work of internal improvement was completed. The State asks for aid to finish the canal thiough the richest agricultural district in the world, and connecting two most important poiuts. 5 As one proof of the beneficial effects of this canal, he would mention that Kenavvha salt, which formerly sold at from 4 to G dollars per barrel, was now superceded by salt from the State of New York, which sold at the same points for $1 37i to S I '5 Per barrel. No doubt some part of . the difference arose from the drawback allowed by the State of New York, but it arose principally from the facilities afforded by the canal. A gentleman had mentioned to him that he had seen in Charleston, corn whicli had been raised in the valley of the . Wabash, which had been reshipped from New Orleans to Charleston. This trade is destined to be extended aong the Gulf and Southern Atlantic coast. The products of the Wabash valley will soon pass in to the bay of Albemarle, leav ing to the Pine regions of lhe South, the pro ducts which nature ha3 more appropriately designed, whether they be rice, sugar, cot ton, turpentine, lumber or tobacco. Hy the contributions of the great staples of lile, we shall gladden at their own fire-sides the hearts of many of our distant countrymen, sending them corn and olives in return for the luxuries with whicli their climate abounds. - Nothing could be urged against the nationality of this measure nothing whatever against its utility. All that had been said in opposition to it was, that the Wabash river ought to be improved in preference. This could not be done at present. It it can be accomplished hereafter, well and good; but in the mean time execute what is really

practicable, and is of so much importance

Mr. W. declared that the completion ot the canal would not prejudice the improvement of the navigatien of the Wabash river, supplying as it will a steam navigation, and in the winter months when the canal is closed. Being lor a gTeat distance the boundary line of two States, and having a navigation of 350 miles, it will present equal claims to favor with the Alleghany, the Cumberland, the Tennessee, the Red, the Arkansas, and the Illinois, which are but extensionsof the three great rivers of the west. But this improvement of the Wabash must be an annual or periodical one, by wing dams, dredging, and the removal of obstructions for which the treasury of the nation is ample, and to which it is as much bound as tq annual appropriations for Light Houses, Buoys, Custom Houses, or other commercial or naval structuresIt is impossible to overlook the claims of a commerce so large as that to which the Wabash river, is auxiliary."' " 1

- The tolls received last year by the States of Ohio and Indiana on the part of the canal already executed amounted to about $95,000; and this notwithstanding the low rate of the tolls, and the lateness of the season when navigation commenced. The disastrous floods of the present seas son in the west, have alone prevented avast augmentation of these tolls, as weil as the further opening of the canal to 55 miles of extended navigation.. .. The people of the Atlantic Stales do not know what is doing in the west. They are not aware of the mighty works which are in course of execution, and of the immense mass of productive resources which are there being brought into action. Already is the east receiving its food from the rich and luxuriant plains of the west. Indiana asks only for a grant of lands now unproductive, but which she will render productive by the employmsut of the appropriation which she seeks in the completion of a great and national work. ' , " ' " The questioa would bear examination. The Committee on the Public Lands in the House of Representatives had, he was informed, reported a bill similar to this now in progress through the Senate, and he had no doubt but that it would pass the House during the present session. Ha hoped no delay would take place in the Senate, for the delay asked for by the Senator from North Carolina might endanger the timely passage of the bill. The Legislature of Indiana would adjourn at an early day, and a year's delay might be caused in the operations which the bill intended to promote; and this year's delay would be of serious consequence to the, Eliate. . T "MrrVY.- then -drew a very encouraging sketch of the financial condition of the Slate and her ultimate ability to meet all her en gagements. In magnitude, hs said, Indiana is the sixth State iu the Union, and she ought to be and will be one of the first to resume all her responsibilities and discharge all her obligations. She will come up next to Pennsylvania in this just work. There never was a breath of repvdialion about Indiana, not a shadow of it, not a voice for it in all her pub-. lie councils. Although he was opposed in his political feelings, and in his views of po litical economy, to the present Governor of the State, yet he unhesitatingly denied that that functionary had ever in the slightest der . .... gree advocated repudiation, as he has been sometimes charged with having done.. - On reviewing the whole question, he could not see the "least cause for delay. There was, in fact, no opposition to the measure, but merely a counter petition or memorial in favor of the improvement ot the Wabash river. tie nopeu, inereiore, tuai ma oeuator ftom North Carolina would withdraw his mo tion for deferring the consideration of the bill. ' ; Mr. Haywood said he had no intention whatever to say a word against the bill before the . Senate, nor had he done' so. His object was merely to postpone for a few days; and his reason was, that it the memorial trom Vincennes stated facts, those facts should be examined into. A delay of further consideration until next Monday would give Senators an opportunity for this examination. If the measure proposed was a great and important one, and he was willing to admit this there was only the more reason for necessary caution, because it was so. If the bill now before the Senate was the same as passed this body last session, but to which a committee of the House of Representatives had reported adversely, "this was another motive for delay and inquiry. If the . Senate, however, refused to grant further delay in order that information might be had, let it do so. He knew but little about the grounds of opposition entertained at.Vincennes; all he desired was tune to examine, and decide only upon examination. Mr. Buchanan suggested postponement of consideration until Thursday. " Mr. White acceeded to this suggestion. ' Mr. Woodbfidga said the question of a slack-water navigation of lhe Wabash, or the completion of the canal, was before the Committee on the Public Lands at the last ession, and it appeared to be the opinion of scieutinc men that the construction ot a slackwater navigation was impracticable at any expense, which the United States would be likely to undertake. Millions ot aoiiars would not effect it. Mr. VV. believed that amidst all the changes of parties and of politics in Indiana, the State Legislature had been uniformly in favor of the canal. It was true that one or two memorials had been presented in favor of the improvement of the river, bul they were a drop in the bucket compared with the many ftom all parts of the State in favor of the canal. It should also be remembered that the memorial from Vin cennes, upon which this motion for delay is

founded, did not oppose the extension of the canal, but merely asked that the improvement of the Wabash be undertaken in connexion with that subject; . - The further consideration of the bill was

then, on motion of Mr. Hay wood, at the suggestion of Mr. Buchanan, doerred until Thursday. Thursday, Jan. 2, 1S45. The bill to gran, certain lands to Indiana to complete the - Wabash and Erie Canal coming up for consideration ., Mr. Niles said he did not understand the ground upon which aid was asked in this case. Was it on the opinion that Congress had a right to devote public funds, or (which was the same thing) the public domain, to purposes of State improvements? He had thought that this doctriue was long since exploded. If this was not the ground of " the bill, what was it? He objecled lo the prin ciple of the bill. Where -was the difference between giviug land or money? Besides, if this precedent was established, where would it end? We cannot refuse similar grants to o'ther States. He had always been opposed to this mode of legislation, but had uniformly gouesofaras he could, in similar cases, without infringing upon what he held to be the constitutional principle. He could not see the justice of the present claim, or its conformity with ' the legitimate powers of Congress. lie did not believe that the Sen ate had a right to put its hand into the public purse, or to carve out the public domain for this or similar purposes. There could be no justification in doing that for one State : which they did not do for another. All hail equal claims. Mr. Hannegansaid that it was far from his or his colleague's intention, or that of any of the thousands of petitioners for the aid which this bill was intended to grant, to ad vocate the aid sou ght upon the"ground which the Senator irom Connecticut had assumed. The public work whioh Indiana wished to complete was n ot a local one, or for the bene fit of that State exclusively. It was in every sense a great national worK. its result would be tocTeale a market for the United States land, and thus benefit the public Treasury. In case of war, this canal would most materially increase the national facilities for the rapidly moving of troop3 and munitions of war iu a way which could not otherwise be accomplished In every point of view, the work was of great national importance, and not liable in any way to the ob jections of the Senator from Connecticut. Mr. Woodbridge said that the basis of the bill was altogether different trom that assumed by the Senator irom Connecticut. The Government was a great landholder, controlling and governing the disposal of millions upon millions of acres. The land iu question, part of which this bill proposed to give to Indiana in furtherance of this great national work, had been in the market many years, and had not yet found a customer. How was this land to be raised in value and brought into use but by intersecting it with roads and canals, thereby planting upon it settlements, and villages, and towns? The land itself has no inherent value, Its value has yet lo be acquired; and this value would, in a great measure, be acquired by the completion of the canal. - If the property of the Government is to be thus enhanced by this canal, should it not pay something for this increase of value?. If Uovernment held properly in a city ixew York, for instance would it not be liable to taxation for improvement? Surely, then, the General Government ought - not now to fold its arms and look on, without lending a helping hand lo accomplish lhat from which it would eventually derive so important an advantage. This measure, Mr. W. added, j had no connexion with the question of infernal improvement. Its object was to tender available and of value property of the United States which is now unavailable aud of no value. All that is asked is to run a canal through the land, aud to appropriate a small portion of the public land to raise the value of the remainder. The passage of thi3 bill will not diminish the wealth or resources of the United States; it will tend, on the contrary, most materially lo increase them. Mr.'Bentou made a few observations in reference to the memorial from Vincennes, of the settlement and history of which city he gave a rapid and interesting sketch; he was not understood as iu any way opposing the object of the- bill. ' Mr. Niles contended that the bill had reference to local objects, and not to national ones, notwithstanding other States and sections of the country might have a contingent interest in the completion of the canal. He reiterated his objections. If the land3 in question (said he) are, as the Senator from Michigan states, of no value, then the friends of thebill and the State of Indiana will gain nothing by the bill. . He could not admit there was any weight in the arguments which he bad heard against the views which lie had submitted to the Senate. Mr. Crittenden regarded the bill as one ol great importance, and should vote for it with reat pleasure. It was a most vatuaDie moue of investing public lands to appropriate a part of them to canals and other internal improvenients, tenamg Desiaes to ao away wuu the various plans for reducing and graduat ing the price of the national domain. Mr. Bagby said that if this was a national work, why did not the Government undertake it? Why had it been left to Indiana, or to any olher State? He was opposed to this bill. He . was opposed to the raising the price of the public lands. He wished to see them reduced in price. It was, in his opin ion, much more important that our Western settlets should obtain cheap homes, than that the Government should be encircled by these

gigantic works of internal improvement. If the measure which this bill was to aid were really a national work, why not come at once to Congress and ask for an appropriation, as in the case of olher national works? If it were a local one, then the General Govern

ment has no powtr to engage in It. He should oppose the passage of the bill. Mr.-Breese was surprised at the course which the debate had taken. The bill was certainly to aid a work undertaken by a State, but by no means local in its objects or its results. ; A moiety of certain now unproductive lands was to . be given to help the work, and the consequence would be that the residue would be greatly increased in value. Is it not the duty of the Government to increase the value of the public domain? This policy had been acted upon by the Government eversince the time of Mr. Jefferson. Were not lhe construction of the Cumberland road, and the aid repeatedly given towards its further extension, founded upon this principle? He should have great pleasure in supporting the bill The question beinj then put on the "pass age of the bill, it was carried in the affirmative ayes 31, noes 3. So the bill passed, and was sent lo the l T.. rn.- r. ' ANECDOTE OF A STAMMERER. -Duringthe Revolutionary war, when drafls were made from the militia to recruit the continental army, a certain captain gave lib-. erty to the men who were drafted from his company to make objections, if. they had' any against going into the service. Accord- . ingly, one of them, who had an impediment in nis speech, came up to the captain and made his bow. "What is your objection?" asked the Captain." ' - ' ' ; - "' 'I ca-ant go,' answered the man, 'because I st-st-stut-ter.'
