These remnants of fetcrsburgh, and Constantinople. Theirdis use belomrs less toconstitnfinnu tban tn man. ners. They are not much to be dreaded, by the mass ol the people, any where. Why, sir, at the height or the reign of terror in France the theatres were kept open and crowded: and Napoleon, all powerful and learlul as he was, the arbiter of life and death to millidns, used to say, he presumed there were men in Paris who had never heard of his name. The fact is, sir, and I know it from personal observation, that people who stay at home, and mind their business, keep out of hot water, say nothing against the Sultan or Mum, and take care not to get very rich, are extremely well off in Turkey. The idea that the Grand Seignor goes about chopping off the heads of harmless people for sport, belongs to the nursery; it is one of Mother Goose's tales. Peter Parley is beyond that. When, therefore, we are told, that people are safe in their houses, and in their streets, under the protection of the laws, and that we ought to be content with this, I am shocked at it, as in itself a proof that men are beginning to he indifferent to the real nature of constitutional liberty; that they are beginning to compound with those who have signally betrayed their confidence: to say, spare us our lives and property, do not shoot or plunder us, and you may rule over us as long as you please, in short, that they are thinking seriously of Esau's bargain, and" selling their blood-bought birth-right tor a mess ot pott e. No, sir, the spirit'and essence of liberty ,are very different from the constitutional forms in which it is embodied ; and even these may be trampled down, by those who forbear any violent attempt on life, limb, or property. Praclicallv. the people of the United States, as far as the General Government is concerned, are living under a monarchy The Execcthx created hy the Constitution to enforce the laws has erected his own will into a law, repealing or transcending all other law. The spirit of party has so complete ly mastered that of patriotism, that men in high places men ol name before the coun try legislators representatives of the people not only support the chief of their party in measures which they know to oe highly injurious, but support him in such a way as to make him believe they really approve those measures, and admire and reverence him for pursuing them.

In high and dignified bodies, clothed with august functions in Parliaments, in Senates, in Courts of Justice this feeling assumes unusually gravitv and elevatien. It rises iuto Drinciole. it U n source of strenuous effort, it bids men toil and suffer, and, if need be, bleed, that they may adorn the name of some great and venerable organization, and hand it down more illustrious for their connexion with it. to nosteritr. f there be bodies on earth which outrht to possess this feeling, they are the Senate and l. oi uepresentatives of the United States, fen earth there is a bodrof men who nun-M to fell a sober, reflective, responsible sense of station, is it not the chosen Representatives of the people of the United States? Against any sweeping imputation on its purity, this is a body one might have thought, which would have been in arms. Against any wholesale or general denunciation of its members, one migm nave Hoped that the whole assembly would have risen in indignation. And what have we witnessed? This House of Representatives, by a majority of more than two to one, passes a resolution, that the Public Mo ney is safe in the Bank of the United States. (what none but a madman could deny: and for passing that resolution the Presidnnt de clares to his Secretary of the Treasury, that a majority of the members is bribed by the itanic; ana tnatu they nad remained in sess ion a few weeks longer, two-thirds of them would have taken the bribe: and for this rea son, and in order to keep his policy safe be neath the wings ot the V eto, he orders his Secretary, against his own convictions, to re move the public money from the place of gal deposite before Congress convenes; and the Secretary, refusing, is removed himself. Does the House of Representatives, under the influence of the feeling I have described, resent the insult? Does that portion of it friendly to the Ad ministration the portion of course aimed at the President's friends. repel this insinuation, that they are the sub jects of corruption? Does a solitary friend of the President show that he feels cither woun ded or grieved ? Look at the journals of the last session, and see the unbroken phalanx steadily voting in support of a policy, which, as tar ns the time of its adoption is concern ed, proceeded on the calculation that they themselves, the men who support it, are within the reach of the Gold of the Bank. I believe, that, if any King of England, of the House of Brunswick, should utter such lan guage to a Lord of the Treasury touching tlte House of Commons, the day on which he uttered it would be the last of his reign. The House of Commons thus outraged, would rise as one man. He would be dragged from his palace to the tower; from the tower to the scaffold; his line driven out into exile his blood attainted; his dynastry extinguished forever. Or,"if milder councils were required, as I trust they would be, by the civilization of the day. Parliament would resolve that the royal intellect was impaired; a regency bill would pass inj three days, and the unhappy monarch would he sequestered, as bereft of reason, within the inmost courts and darkest walls of Windsor Castle. Sir, I speak without the least personal bitterness of the President: I feel none. I have been opposed to hi9 administration; but if I have erred, it has been rather on the side of tamcness than violence. His military services never wanted the humble tribute of my acknowledgement, both before and since he came into office. I never performed a public dutv with srreater cordiality, than that of bid ding him welcome, on behalf of my fellow citizens, to the heights on Charlestown, on occasion of his visit to that town; and though it was not possible for any man in the country to be less interested in it, no man would have : been better pleased, that his second term of

Under this caption I last week submitted for pub lic consideration a few brief remarks. I will in coutinuation now, suggest the propriety of applying the available resources of the State to the construe tion of Turnpike roads. When completed, all the surplus productions of the State may be convenient ly transported to market. The proprietors may, i tbev choose, convey their property of whatever character, to such point on the Ohio river as the prices may best warrant. If, however, they de pend upon Canal transportation, all must be landed at Lawrenceburgh where, perhaps, there would not be capital enough, to buy it. . If so, they would be driven to the alternative of seeking another poiut and at considerable expense. I know arguments will be opposed to mine that mav wear the aspect of plausibility, but when sours ded, they are but an empty void. It will no doubt be contended that a rendu market will at all times be found on the Canal for all thit we nviy have toj disposo of. Admit it and so there would be on a Turnpike road. There is this difference. On a road, every farmer may convey his own produod to market, and on a Canal La must pay for it.

Serf t CqUally beneti"ed and accommooteo, however, for thousands upon thousands would scarcely know that such a work was in tSSaVS annually reminded 0fit At a more mature age, the State may call in requisition, mean, of transportation other than ?oads then the burden would not. be so severely felt the whole country would be in a state of high and profitable cultivation. It is altogether probable that a bill for borrowing the money to construct this Canal will be brought before the ensuing legislature, but there is no probability of getting it through. If ever passed, there will be more money expended in legislating upon it than would make a Turnpike from Indianapolis to Harrison. I have not the most remote idea that such a bill will be passed in the course of 10 year to come, if at all. It will be recollected that much time was consumed by the last legislature in an endeavor to pass an:actauthorizing a subscription of stock on the part of the state, in the Indianapolis and I.awrerceburgh Kail Road to the amount of $20,00(1 only, which proposition was lost. It is rational then to infer, that if that body would with hold $20,000, they would not bestow, the very next year, two million nf dollar on a similar work. Jf the people would torn their attention to roads instead of canals, they might go on in a regular march and in a few years the ereat difficulty of net ting about M ould be overcome, and we would hear tewer calls for Kail Koads or Canals. And when the condition of the country actually demanded them, we would be able to make them, and have good roads also. But if Canals and Rail roads are hrst attenddd to, all others will be neglected. For, plan now suggested of borrowing the means, will mpoverish the state, and dishearten her citizens and in the end, give a death blow-to every thing like public enterprise. I he resources of tho State are not adequate, at this time, to the construction of the various roads necessary for the convenience of her inhabitants. I hey Will however warrant a commencement on those, the most general in their character. Some years ago a charter was granted for a Turupike road from the Metropolis to Harrison. 1 hat char ter has not yet expired: Nor has any one thought the stock worth taking. l would suggest the propriety of repealing that act of Incorporation next winter and the authorising a survey of the route by the State, and an oppropnationof a sum stimcent to clear out the timber, and the succeeding year it might be partly graded, if not entirely; and so on . year after year untill it shall be completed. We would then have a good road from the centere to the extreme of the state, on a direct route to the City of Cincinnati. There is a road now in progress from Cincinnati, meeting us at Harrison which would give us an easy and safe mode of conveyance to the great Western mart. The resources of the state thus applied would hear eqxtally upon. all concerned, and our taxes need not be augmented, as a moiety of the expense of a Canal would build tlte road and when completed, the interests of the farmer and mechanic would be met, and the demands of all classes liquidated. This seems to me to be the only course of policy dictated by the true interest of the State; and it is that course all should have a desire ? pursue. It is not expected, however, that all en see things in the same light as we are rulsd by utfereit in most of our actions. Then those having prospects of future gain in the event of the completion of this Canal in prospective, will, of course, urge its progress at all hazards; and tax their inginuity forcaptivating argument to enlist the great body of the people in it favor, a the only mean of carry' ing it iuto effect. The consequence would be to immolate the interests of the many on the altar of the few. . la the calculations I have made as to transportation, I had my eye exclusively upon, the county of Franklin, yet they apply with equal force along the entire line, from the mouth of JVettle Creekto Lawrenceburgh.
