REMARKS OF MR. BOON, Or IxDTAXA, In Committee of the Whole cn the amendment of the Senate to the Harbor Bill, which proposed the building of a Bridge, across the Wabash river at Tcrrchante, Indiana House of Rr prescntatives, June 30, 1832, Mr. BOON said, Mr. chairman, I rise to express the earnest hope, that the Committee will refuse to concur in the Senate's amendment, for the commencement of a bride across the Wabash river. Sir, under a former appropriation, the grading and bridging of the Cumberland road in" Indiana, was commenced at Indianapolis, (being the centre of the State.) and was ordered to be progressed with east and west. Under this order the work was commenced, leaving a considerable portion of the road between Indianapolis and the Wabash in the State, almost impassable for man or horse at certain seasons of the year. Obstructed as the travel is by intervening Anall streams, upon which ferries cannot be employed in times of high water. Not so with the Wabash. Added to this Sir, it is estimated by the engineer who surveyed the Cumberland road in the State cf Indiana, that it will cost about $'29,000 to make the road across the bottom, on the west side of the Wabash, above high watermark. Thi-3 part of the road is not made. Where then the necessity of this magnificicnt bridge across the Wabash, before the road shall be made pas sable lor mail stages and other travel, to and from the same? Sir, I have received two respectable remonstrances from a portion of my constituents, against this bridge, upon the ground that (if built) it would injure th navigation of the abash. But to say nothing as to the probable obstruction which the proposed bridge miht produce to the navi gation of the Wabas! asii nvcr, i send to the Chair an extract from the report of an expenenced engineer, to snow i that the commenccment of this bridge, at this time, is premature, to s :y the leasi of it. I ask that the Clerk do read the extract, and I will detain the committee no longer. We met with the following toasts in the Li bert v .. . , . TT . ,-berty lort-loho, printed in I mon connLid.

If made; we havcno doubt it will receive the sanction of the fastidious opposition.

A letter from the city of the Bank, says: "While at table, celebrating the 4th, intelligence reached us that the Bank bill had passed the House. As a general impression prevails here that General Jackson will put his veto upon it, it became the subject of much conversation, and great interest was exhibited. It was evident that he would los3 no hold on the feelings of his friends in this city by that course. The following volunteer toast was given, which was received with universal acclamations of applause: General Andrew JacJiSon President of the lnited States. He will be sustained

Lan!i From another friend, we have received a letter of similar import, with the following toasts added : " The Bank of the United States. Strong in power and powerful from its patronage : Gen. Jackson has said he would leave it for the present with the people. The people have not yet been heard. Thcif will decide that question next October. We await the verdict of the people, uMo:wpolies whether designed to manufacture cloth, or currency whether authorized by State agency, or National policy the fruitful sources of corruption and oppression. The man who shall do most to check their growth and arrest their influence, will be ranked first among the nation's benemeters. The latest scenes of the Session. Wre Congress so distinguished for political intrigue as that which closes this day. The Aspra.wrs for the Presidency and its outposts, and departments, have been unwearied in their efforts to throw the affairs of the J country into confusion, with a view to pro fit by the chances. But the denouncement shows that no coalition no compound of the discordant elements could be concocted, of sufficient strength to produce an explosion capable of shaking the foundations of the government. The power of public opinion, operating in harmony with the patriotic wishes of the Chief magistrate,' and blending its force with the exertions of the honest and disinterested and faithful amon the Representatives of the people, haa brought every thing in the close to a fortunate issue. Of the last scenes of the sess'on we shall give a particular account. The public shall have especially a very ac- -curate detail of what may be considered the dying struggle of Messrs. Clay and Webster in the Senate, in support of the Bank and the Ultra Tariff. Franking Privilege. The opposition preeses h ive long kept up a deafening clamor against the members of Congress, and other federal officers friendly to the administration, for alleged abuses of the franking privilege ! We must invoke their chastisement upon a gentleman in their own ranks, who has lately distinguished himself as a jranuer not ot letters, newspapers, or fimWc documents but of rest patterns.' ! j "Ma conscience 1" as Bailie Nichol Jarvie, would say.
