Frca the Indiana Journal Exlra. j MR. DUNN'S REMARKS On tho question of Slrikin- out that pari of the bill amending the charier of the Lawrence burgh and Indianapolis Rail Road Company, which requires the State to take 500 shares of the stock of that Company as soon as 10 miles of the Road are . made. Mr. Dunx Slid, that as ho cons-dered the question bsforo the committee essentially connected with the whnle system of internal improvements in the state, he presumed he would be indulged in an inquiry into the history and propriety of the course of legislation heretofore pursued on that subject. In all agricultural communities, next to those measures having for their object the increase orthe productions of tho country, those lending to facilitate commercial intercourse, and diminish the expense of carrying those productions to market, demanded the attention of the Legislature, if indeed they (lid not "lake precedence. In vain was the farmer furnished with choice land and with capital to improve and cultivate it, unless furnished with a market for his productions, and meins of conveyance, at an expense that would permit him to retain a fair compensation for his labor. If, after putting his capital and lobor in the production of an article, it should thii3 require one half or two thirds of its selling price to take it to market, not only is the producer discouraged from renewing his exertions but the wealth of the state is diminished. These views were particularly applicable to Indiana, her products were heavy, and the very richness el the soil, which gave her so great a surplus, was a principal reason why it would not bear the expense

of transposration, and unless her agriculturist wore seated on some of the larger water courses, they were excluded from the cultivation of many articles altogether, or at such reduced prices as to render them unprofitable. That the want of such facilities was the greatest obstacle to the prosperity of many parts of our state was obvious. On no other ground could we account for the rapid advance of our new territory Tver other sections, save that the Wabash and the Lake and the projected canal will afford a better transportation. The people were alive on this subject, as was evident from the crowd of applications for new roads that press upon us at every session; and it was only necessary, properly to encourage end direct their efforts, to effect every desirable end. What had been our practice on this subject? Indiana, in one respect, had taken a bold stand in iho work of internal improvement. Her commencement of the canal at the time she did was creditable to her and manifested a spirit of enterprise which, if followed up, must be highly beneficial. But that work, although a great and important one, need not and should not take all our attention. Other portions of the state equally as important, needed improvement; perhaps were in far greater want of it than the country contiguous to the canal. There were large districts destitute of streams, whore no canals could bo made, and which must depend upon an entirely different kind of improvement. Such was the country through which the work, now under cosideration, was proposed to be made. Such was the whole eastern side of the State. Such, all the country northwest of the Wabash river, and such that lying between the While rivers and the Ohio. In all these regions the very cause whichdeprived them of water communication, being high land and exceedingly level, peculiarly adapted thorn for works of the description of that which is provided for in this bill. Casting the cyo over the state, it would be seen that in no other part of it could a canal be made to profit, unless it would perhaps through the White water valley. Why then should wc be confined to canailing? yet such was the fact and it would appear that having commenced the business of internal improvement, with a work of that kind, none other could be thought of or tolerated. In thus bringing these matters together he must not be understood as an opponent of the canal. He was with it, as its friends well knew; and he hoped yet to show that the interests of the canal were intimately connected with the Rail Road in contemplation, nor did he accuse the friends of the canal policy of any wish to discourage oiher works, but lie wished barely to call the attention ol the ' committee to the fact, that the state would seem to have exhausted all her energies in that one effort, and that as if by common consent nil others were suffered to languish. This he believed to be nei- " ther just nor politic. lie could not see how the ability of the state was impaired by that effort. It had not as yet cost her one cent, nor did he believe it ever would. For, in his estimation, the donations of lands and the profits of the work would more than pay for it long before the canal debt became due. But if otherwise, and the State must provide other means to defray its'debt, then how important to have the improvement of other parts of the state and call out all its resources to our aid. If, by the making of this road, the country through which it runs, is doubled or trebled in value its population and exports increased, as they will be fourfold, how much jnoreable to meet any exigency of this nature. If then the resources of the slate have not been impaired by the works already in progress, the injustice of refusing to incourage improvements in other parts of the country would be too apparent to require argument. . With the exception of the canal measure, our whole course of legislation on these subjects had been not only illiberal, butdecidedly injurious. In one respect said Mr. D., we have been not only liberal, but profuse. We had granted Rail Road and turnpike charters without number or price; but like beggar's brats they had been turned off! without a rag to cover them, or a cent of patrimony; nay indeed, not satisfied with leaving them to fight their own way, we have carefully provided, he believed, in every instance, that a raedocium of their profits should come to the state. Every effort .of her citizens to obtain these facilities have met in the Legislature a sordid spirit of speculation. Sensible of the wants and the limited means of the people, it was to have been expected, that if unwilling to assist in these works, we would, at least. have granted every facility to have induced others to lend their capital to the undertakings. But we seem to have acted on the supposition, not that our citizens i were poor and neady, and would have to win their capital from abroad, by offering advanta geous investments, or progress slow and cautiously with their own limited means, but as if wealth was abundant end was seeking employment, and would

pay the plate a cempen3ition for the privilege. Instead of taking the lead as she ought to Inve done, the state has meanly retained the right to lake up 500 shares in these companies whenever she chose: which amounts to this, tint when the citizen had

run all the risk and ventured his properly in ma ing the improvement, if profitable, the State would i ti i.i . 1 kindly come in ana taKo a share of his profits, hut if otherwise, she would leave him to pocket his loss This kind of legislation might bowell suited to an old and wealthy community, but was entirely unsuited to our own. - In another respect he believed .our legislation I ueen injurious. All who nutnit.that it our 3 per cent, fund had been husbanded or properly expended much more benefit would have been derived from it. He thought it very doubtful whether more harm than good had not resulted from that expenditure. It had occasioned a false spirit among the people, a feeling of dependence upon that source, as was evidenced by the fact that the 3 per cent, roads were the worst worked roads in the country. If when these distributions had eon made, it had been required that some portion of work should have been done or funds provided by tho people themselves, to entitle them to state assistance, we would have stimulated them and rousod nil their energies, and how different would have been the result. This was the object, said Mr. D., of tho proposition now under consideration. It was to change the course of legislation on 1 his subject; to rouse the slumbering energies of the people. Time and money enough had been spent on the old plan, and he felt assured that every friend to the cause of internal improvement would rdly to the support ofany measure having this for its object. l . J I . . " All 1 He presumed that at this time there could remain no doubt with any, that ihe Rail Road was superior to any other. He did not by this, mean that if we were prevented from having more than on" kind of roads, that the M'Adam turnpike was not more generally useful as being applicable to a greater j variety of uses but where both could he mad with equal facility and the business to he doii" was extensive, thepiodure to he carried heavy and cumbersome, tin pre fie nee of t!r; o!h r Ind I) -en settled by the experiments so successfully mule in the U. States the few p'isr years. He did not remember the mount of I lbor one horse could do on a turnpike, but it wis sufficient he thought, to say that one horse had drawn on a rail road 32 tons at the rate of 5 or 0 miles an hour, without unnecessary fatigue. He had ventured the assertion that these roads could be made in our slate for less than M'Adam turnpikes, and so fir as the route now under consideration was concerned, he was satisfied it was so. But unfortunately whenever a Rail Road was mentioned, we were too apt to recur at once to those heavy and expensive works first commenced in the U. S. and costing 40 and 59,000 dolhrs per mile; j without reflecting that in the subsequent prosecu lion ol even those works, the expense had been lessened something like one half, and that others have bean made at a cost within the compiss of our ability. Cheap single tracts of rail way had been made in Pennsylvania for $310 per mile, including every expense of excavation, grading, miking and laying raili, and gravelling horse path, and had been plated with iron at $500 per mile more, j lie Knew oi no country more iavoruie tor sticii works than our own ; it was unusually level, .and timber wns so abundant as to be had just for the asking. In his estimation, $2000 per mile was a full sum for making one from Lawrencabnrgh to this place, (see note 1.) and ifso, ho asked wheihevery mile of country on that route was not amply able to make it ? If the owners of the soil should give one half their land to effect it, the residue would be more valuable than the whole was before, and one half of the prodnce raised would bring more money to the producer than the whole does now. Surely nothing more was necessary than to convince the people of these thmgs, and every difficulty would then vanish. Did they knowthir IT. I C i t n own ability, did they know whati concentrated ef fort could do, no legislative aid would be net ?ded. Uting Ihe material lo make these roads was rottm on their han.'s. the labor on each mile of road was abundant; all that it wanted was something to call it forth. This was all he desired. Afterten miles of th"s road are mad he would ask no legislative aid, he would be willing to give back the subscription on the part of the state, for the work could not then stop. Once break down the absurd fear of the immense expense of these works, and settle the question by an actual experiment that they can he made to answer all useful purposes, for any thing like the sum named, and there is no one of all the different routes thai have been selected in the state but will start into immediate operation. But how was this to be done? This fitlso spirit of reliance for all our road improvements on the 3 per cent, fund, had by our imprudent legislation taken possession of the public. This disbelief in their own ability existed among the people. To whom should we look for a remedy, but from the same body which had caused the injury; and how was it to be done, but by ourselves taking the lead If by our legislation on these subjects we show a disbelief in them, can we expect our citizens will entertain other opinions? But ifon the other hand we lake a bold stand, convinced ourselves, of the policy of these things, and the propriety of rousing the slumbering energies of the people, we put our own shoulders to the matter, how different must be the result. If the course now proposed had been taken when the first rail road charter was granted, we would now have had them all in successful operation. He did not consider that he was pleading the cause of this particular route alone there was another object. The whole cause of internal imnrovement in those parts oFour stale suited to these t f -r i i - works was at stake, tie could not lie iirceiven in the fact that if hut ten miles of the present road was made, it set all in? ourrs in mouon. lie ten authorised then to call on the friends of internal improvement, and especially those representing districts adapted to this kind of improvement, rally around the present measure as the commence ment ofa general system. He would sk whether there was any other route nresented. havin" a better or indeed as ftir proa nects of success. This he believed was iho only ono that hid ver been organized.: consulerabb amount of stock had been taken, and ten miles of the rouie surveyed, and nothing but the panic occasioned by the veto message, and the difficulties and embarrassments which it was supposed would follow, prevented its being then commenced. To those who havo travelled over the route, he

could appeal with confidence when ho stated it to be among the richest of our state filled with the material necessary and peculiarly adapted for a work of this kind.

I Viewed as n local work, barely designed to benefit the five large counties through which it nisse:?. he doubled not, but it would recoiv;, ns it was en . . . titled to, the aid of the state, lie could not blieve that any district so important as that could apply in vain, especially when so many interests were connected with it. That the committee might he able to judge of the embarrassments under which that district of country hbored, and if iho benefits to arrise from a work of contemplation, he had taken some pains to ascertain the amount of tonnge transported to and from those counties, and the saving to be made by an improvement proposed. From nn estimate made on'informution obtained from persons on the route, it was found that if the business continued what it now was, in one year the saving to those counties immediately contiguous toMarion would be 100,000, as follows: Dearborn, Ripley, Decatur, Sh'-lby, ?1 irion, Boone, &c. 8,000 5,000 15.700 15,333 21,049 40,000 100,573 A sum equal to one half of the whole expense of making the improvement. And when it is considered that the business would be immediately increased to a vast amount tint productions now valueless from theirtdistance to market, would then be transported that the road will piss close to the line of Rush county and within fifteen miles of her county seat, to wh'ch her wealth and enterprise wo ihl undoubtedly mako an intersecting route, ii could not be doubted that the whole rxn:itsu wuuiu ui; inurt; man oi km; up to too puuliC in one year after the work was completed. What oilier public work could be devised so import a tit for the whota eastern section of the state? Th counties through which it passes, are entirely deprived of all means of water conveyance. Materials for m iking turnpikes are by no means abundant, tho more costly, ;md then not one tenth as efficient, and without the growth and prosperity must he for many years retarded. A l iteral work of thirty three miles will carry it to the. town of Madison, fifteen or sixteen inib-s will take it to Rushville, twenty or twenty-five miles north will bring it to Henry county, ami th;liko distance t Delaware. The business and energy of these countiesoast and west by the National road would join with it, and if it never progressed further, the interest thus connected with it fully called for all the asssistance that had been asked. Instead of envying our western and northern brethren, we would then be competing with them in well doing, our citizens would no longer sell out and pics on to more fivored regions, the east would then improve as fist as could be desired; we wanted nothing but good roads to place us on an equal footing with the most favored region. We would no longer then be under the necessity of petitioning Congress to reduce the price of refuse lands in order to get them settled, the same effect I would be produced by raising tho value of those lands to their present selling price. When our unsettled land was thus to bo brought into cultivation, when the whole landed estate of this section of the state was to be increased in value, its population doubled orjrebled, and its wealth and rescources extend as they would be by this improvement, it was indeed strange to find opposition io it coming from that quarter. But so it was. Yet he could not but entertain the hope, that subsequent investigation would induce a united action on this subject ; lhat he should not appeal in vain, to the patriotic feelings of the members from the adjoining counties,but that they would lay aside all those selfish feelings which might induce them to vole against a work of this kind, because it did not piss through their own county, when the good of so large a portion of the country was concerned. li was this selfish spirit that had occasoned all the i evils of our legislation on this subiect : it was this which had occasioned the useless dissipation of our j three percent, fund, and it would, if presisted in,l: continually retard our progress and improvement, He desired not to arouse any sectional or jealous feelings on this subject, but to excite a generous rivalry in the work of well doing, that all parts of the state might put forth their powers and improve alike. And although he called on his friends in the east to rally around this work as one calculated for their special benefit, yet he believed it had higher claims and such as would entitle it to the regard and assistance of all parts of the state. If ever completed to Indianapolis, ibis road could not stop. It would bo carried on to the canal, and to tho Lake, crossing ihe state from its southeast to its northwest corner, it must piss throng a greater number of counties than any other vkiiln o nrl ofTt-rl irnrn f tnlt i ao i--vi ! lr.kI!.-vn MUdtf tlllll lliwiu IvU.l.llM.Ci IUI IIJ-IU. ICilUlll" ) into it linn any other could possil.ly do. We should then have the Wabash and its canal passing from the southwest to the northeast, &. the rail road crossing it from the southeast to the northwest. Could there be a more important and cqeitable plan devised to bring forward the great leading interests of the country? He would inquire whether the canal would ever fulfil the expectations of its friends and of ihe state at large, if confined to tho trade of the Wabash valley. Would that be a profitable concern? or was it not necessiry to connect it with other sections, and as far ns practicable to lead into it :dl the business of the country? This was imporlont on more accounts than one. Now, nearly all the eastern goods have come through the Ohio canal and thence down the Ohio to this section of ihe cotintrv; nearly 1 of l hu stale was supplied in that wav. j Q.X on lQ plan proposed, j very .ine portion of ji,iS trade would pass throng!, our own canal, and , freight and tolls be retained in our own state n event all ihe s tit for the counties on thto! rm,i would be brought in the mme way, and they - j he supplied wiih a b iter nrticle, at a less price and u much profit to the public works. In this point of view th" whole state was interested. For it should - 1 be a primary object with all, now that tho canal . was commenced, not only to complete it speedily. but lo make it profitable when done. And wonl! anv thing tend to this end so much, as the work h; now advocated? Bui leaving all pecuniary cons d erationsout of view, was it not of importance that the -whole state should harmonize in this great undcrta king? Was it sufficient that its friends had been able to commence that work, and could complete

it? Of it was not a matterof the first cons idera lion, that all the lending interests of the state should be brought into tho measure? That it should bo no longer considered as a Wibmhor a western work; hut one, in which the cast Ind the sium interest, with which their business wis to ho connected, their pride enlisted; in shoit tint it should he our work as well ?.s their.. But even the view thus takencomes short of the true importance of this work. He confidently br-

leived that there was no route in tin whob western I country of so m:ich consequence r:s this. It wasin ; hiseslirnation, to the northwestern part of this state, ! to the upper Illinois, to the upper Mississippi, and the lead mine district, what the Rdtiinore and Ohio j railroad was to the OJiio country. Look on the j map sir, and you will see that there is no other route so direct from those vast regions west of us, and the day will come sir, when pissing from Indianapolis to Lafayette, crossing the Illinois at iho head of steamboat navigation, and from thence to the Mississippi, it will become the highway of nations. Already is the trade of lint country very great, n large portion of it pisses by Chicago through the 1 ikes to BulTilo, an immense distance round, subject to storms and delays; and in preference, much of it will pursue our more safe, and speedy conveyance, nither by the can ;1 to lake Erie, or by the road to the Ohio. Sir, what ought ihe state lo do in a matter of this nature? Would the friends of this measure havo been unreasonable had they insisted that she should have taken iIk? winds work upon hers: If? or would they have been uniensonahl. to Invu nsked tho state at once to have taken the amount of!

He trusted, then, that no loc:l antipathies or sectional bickerings, no personal dislike to those interested, no false economy or profounded fears would he permitted to mar a project having so many important intersts in view; and while he called upon others to lay aside such feelings, he would say for himself, that even if he should be deceived in his just expectations of support in the measure, il should cause- no charge with him, and whatever just and reasonable measures might he brought forward for tho advancement of any portion of the state should always find in him a firm and sttdfast friend. Not:: 1. This estimate was made from one taken from Mr. EarPs treaties on th subject. wTlie following may be a fair estimate for a single track ofa moderately cheap kind; exclusive of bridges and drains: Kxcavalton and embankment, for foundation S feet wide, 3100 cubi i yards, at w cents,

If plated with iron the expenses for iron, 1-1 byl 1-4 inch, may be estimated thus: Five tons iron at $75, NVda, $SS2 19 375 00 dO CO $P,97 lii" If it be said that ihe estimate for iron is too low for this country, it may on the other hand bo replied that the estimate fur timber will be too high for this wooilen country. The only thing left uncertain is the bridges and culverts. Since I came here I endeavored to ascertain from Judge Polke the amount by him exponded in the Michigan road cast of this place for thai item. It could not be separated from the oth er work, but it was found tint the whole sum ex pended for bridging, culverts, grading, ditching and turnpiking, &C. was only .$7S jer mile, and every stream and drain is bridged except one, so lint it' tho whole ot that yum be added for the culverts and bridges, ii would make the whole cslimale $1575 10 per mile.
