to me can be clearer than ail this. But jestlsubject myself to thrj charge of taking only a one side view of the question, suffer me to present you with another: The United Slates have righis in this matter as well as Indiana. For if any one supposes that this grant was a pure" free will offering, made without any consideration but that of love or aiT. ction, or without any reservation of equivalent whatever, commits, to say the least of it, a very gross mistake. So far from this being the fact, Congress carefully reserves the right of way, free oi toils, from one end of the canal to the other, for the p.issnge of all nel

sons and the tntuspo: tat ion of all property
