SPEECH OF MR. HENDRICKS, "In the Senate, January 2, 1835 on the bill for improving the navigation of ihe Wabash river. Mr. Hendricks said that the position he occupied in relation to the bill now before the Senate, as well as to former bills on the same subject, rendered it necessary and proper for him to say a few words on the present occasion; that duty and incli

nation alike impelled him to this course, and that if any apology should be thought necessary for obtruding himself on the attention of the Senate, it would be found on the table of every Senator, in the form of instructions to himself and his colleague, from lheLegishture of the State they had the honor to represent. These accompanied the printed report recently made by the Committee on Roads and Canals,on the subject of this bill. . -It would be recollected, said Mr. H., that at the last session, the bill to improve the navigation of the Wabash, about which so much had recently been said here and elswhere, had been introduced by himself, on leave of the Senate. It would also be recollected, that, heretofore, himself and his colleague had been unsuccessful in endeavoring to

transferred, is reserved to the Stales, or by the formation of the constitution of the United State?, it iscntirely annihilated. Now, in the C3se of the Wabash, it is not reserved to the States; for, by compact and ordinance, Congress declared its power over it, declared it a common public highway, and guarantied its free navigation forever. The power, then, to improve this river, not bein reserv

ed to the Slate?, it is in the Federal Government, or it is annihilated. That it is not annihilated, but remains in this Government, under the sanction of the constitution of the United States, is obvious and certain, by reference to the sixth article of thai instrument itself. I will now, Mi. President, said Mr. H., proceed to state some reasons for believing that this work of. internal improvement, the navigation of the Wabash river, rests upon a basis essentially differ

ent from other ordinary objects, such as those

the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence, as well as the carrying places between them, and although there is no positive stipulation, in so many words, that the Government of the Union shall improve and keep in the condition of usefulness which the country may need and require, these great high-ways of commerce, yet the implied intention and pledge of the Government to do so, has always appeared lo me too strong to be resisted. Nor was the extent or binding obligation of this compact at all weakened, by the constitution of the United Slates, adopted afterwards; for in that very constitution, by its Oth article it is declared, tint "all debts contracted, and engagements entered into before the adoption of this constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this constitution, as under the confederation.' This ordinance, then, is sanctioned by the constitution itself. In this view of the question, it Ins always an-

chiefly comprised in the 'harbor bill of 1332. In- pearcd to me, that instead of constitutional ol jet-j

deed, I nave great reason to believe that the Presi- itsons to these works of internal improvement, there dent could not have been in possession of all the ! is a direct constitutional obligation 1o carry them

different view of the whole matter. In the first

the 'mode ultimately adopted. The canal will rather pause than stop at the mouth of the Tippecanoe. So greatly important will he that link in the chain, which the Wabash is destined for a while to supply, that the canal will ultimately be constructed down the entire length of tho Wabash, to the Ohio river. And, sir, what was the origin, and what is the present condition ot this work already begun, under the united auspices of the Federal Government, and that of the Slate of Indiana. The origin of the Wabash and Erie Canal, said Mr. II., was a law of Congress of March, 1827, appropriating a quantity of the public lands, equal

works of internal improvement already begun however firmly they were of opinion, that the Wabash and Erie canal, a work now in rapid progress, and a work to which this Government had made large appropriations of public lands, was but a part &, portion of this very work ; and that that appropriation of public lands would fiirly class the improvement of the Wabash with works already begun by the means of the Federal Government. They had, however, been foiled in their attempts to have it so considered by the Senate. This work the improvement of the river, was then classed with new objects of internal improvement, and became an item in the harbor bill of 1832, which received the veto of the President, We all recollect, said Mr. II., that bill, and its history. This work, in the opinion of its friends, having Such high claims lo be considered a work 6JT national importance, was only endangered in 1S32, by the society in which it was found; lor it was confidently asserted and believed, and especially by ihe friends of the present Administration, that this item, unconnected

with others, would not have met the disapprobation of the President. Murmurs too were heard, torncwhat loud and reproachful, of members of the delegation, who were supposed to have had this matter more especially in charge, for permitting it thus to be classified and defeated. In this view of the case then, and that it might stand on its own basis and alone, I determined at the. last session, said Mr. H., to present it in a sep

arate bill, drawn up in the same language, and asking for the same amount, which had been sanctioned by both Houses, as an item in the harbor bill. In this form it was presented to the Senate. In this form it passed both Houses, and was picsented for the signature of the Executive. . I give this history of it, said Mr. II., to present it fairly before the Senate. It wa3 my intention,: had the resolution referring it to the committee, hot been introduced by my colleague, to have asked leave of the Senate, and to have introduced the same bill; but tho one form is as good as the other. The committee have reported the bill, and tho result is

the same. The views of tho President on the subject of internal improvement, I very much regret, because in their eQecls, they are in my opinion, injurious to the prosperity of the Union, and especially are they so, to that portion of it whence I come. With his views however, it is unnecessary on the present occasion to conflict; for this bdl stands upon its own basis, and is not, as I believe, obnoxious to his objections. But I would here merely remark on the subject generally, that it does seem to me reasonable, that this Government being the great landholder in the West, and in all the new States,

should sustain a portion of the expense, in making!

ihe principal primary roads. The owners of the soil in all the new States, whose property is supposed to be increased in value by roads when made, are taxed for making them; and why should the Government be exempt from its fair proportion of the assessment? But the case is still stronger in relation to rivers, which the General Gevernment declared to be public highways, assume jurisdiction of, retain perpetually the ownership of, exclude them from the surveys, and thus prevent them from . becoming private property of the citizens, or the property of the States through which they flow. If the Government of the Union has not power to improve them, where does it get the power of jurisdiction over them? For that power of ownership and jurisdiction, necessarily excludes the ownership and jurisdiction of the States. If the slates have neither ownership nor jurisdiction, they surely have not the power of taking possession of them, even for the purpose of improving them. If .they have no control over the bed of tho river, how can they stop a channel here, and open another there, or drain the water into a feeder for the purpose of canals? The Congress of 17S7, by its ordinance, declared the river Wabash a navigable river, and this has been, repeated, by numerous subsequent acts

in relation to oilier streams of the 'new States.

on :nd complete them; and 1 have always thought,

that instead of aiding the State of Indiana in constructing the canal and improving tho river, it was incumbent on the General Government to do both, without the interposition of tho State. The car

rying places referred to in that ordinance, are well

priatcd a portion of her public lands, a portion of j known to have been, that sit Fort Wayne, between

delivery should be established at Lsfayctlc, upon the Wabash river, and I have tit this time, this additional reason that I doubt not it would remove all objections to an approval of the bill, should it again pass both Houses. These objections, however, I hope will be done away by other considerations; in addition lo those already named by the rapid progress of ihe canal. Since the close of the last session of Congress, and by the advance already made towards a perfect inland navigation between the two commercial emporiums of the country, New York and New Orleans. Important facts exist in the case now, that did not exist at the close of the last session. Then it was not a fact that 35 miles

of the canal had been finished, and that the water had been let into the summit level section of Ihe canal. Now all these facts exist. The waters of St. Joseph's, a tributaiv of the Maumee, already flow upon the summit level of the country , and mingle with the waters of the Wabash. Tho water communication is now continuous, very imperfect, to be sure, but it is continuous, between the ports

of entry and delivery which are numerous on Lake

unite the navigable waters of the Wabash river, j

with those of Lake Erie. In addition to this important grant of lands, a corps of United States Engineers was detailed to locate the canal, the whole expense being paid by this Government. The canal was located from the Maumee Bay, on Lake Erie, across the summit level near Fort Wayne, and down the Wabash river to the mouth of

the Tippecanoe. Tho whole distance is 211 miles; 75 of which are within the limits of the Stale of

Ohio, and the remaining 130, wilhin the State of Indiana. The State of Ohio has, by compact with ihe State of Indiana, agreed to construct that portion of ihe canal which lies within her own boundaries; and the Stnte of Indiana, has relinquished to her a corresponding portion of the grant. The Stale of Indiana has entered with spirit on her part of the work. She has sold a portion of her lands, r.nd made other large appropriations, and the work is going rapidly on. Ii is proper here lo remark, that the river below the mouth of Tippecanoe, has also been surveyed by an ofiiecr of the Engineer corps, at ihe expense of the United States. An

appropriation to tint object was made in 182S.

Capt. Smith, of the corps of Engineers, was detailed to that service in 1S29, and made his report to" the War Department in 1S31. This report, with estimates of that officer, will be found on the tables of the members. Of the 180 miles spoken of, 70 are under contract, and about 35 at this moment finished. It is further more contemplated to finish the work in lS3t5 or 1S37. The Stale of Ohio, we believe, will not be long after ihat period, in constructing her portion of it to the Maumee bay, and instead of being premature then, as has been intimated, in asking for this appropriation for the river, this will no doubt be the hist portion of the work done . It will in all probability, be found undone when die canal shall be finished. This work then, is vastly more important, than the improvement of any other

river of its size. It is more important in ihe ex

tent and magnitude of the navigation with which it is connected, in the greatness of the commerce which it create and accommodates, and in the unparalleled extent and productiveness of ihe regions of country through which it passes. Another reason why I believe that the improvement of the navigation of the Wabash has stronger claims upon this government than almost any other object presented, is, that the importance of this navigation seems to have been in view of the ov-

eminent, before the constitution was formed. It

The rapids of the Wabash, below Vincennes, say ! seems lo have been provided for by the Congress

- for fifleen miles, will certainly be best improved, j of the confederation, and lha provision thus made,

by a canal ot that length, or perhaps longer. A few years ago, a corps of engineers were instructed to examine many places proposed for the location of a western armory. Now suppose this armory to have been located and put in motion there, . would this Government permit the Stales of Indiana and Illinois to withdraw the water of that river from a valuable public work, into the feeder of a canal? If the river belongs to the Federal Government, the Slates cannot, without permission of the Government, enter upon it, even for ihe purposes of" improvement. The power of improvement, then, seems inseparably connected with ownership and jurisdiction. To say that the lalter exists in in this Government, and not the former, is to saythat the improvement can never be made, without a compact on that subject between the Federal Go- ; "vemrnent and that of the States; and no one would contend, that such compact could confer m any power, which was not previously in the constitutions of the respective Governments. The power of improving the navigation of rivers, surely belonged to the States before the formation of the Union. It is since eilher transferred to the GoTeroment of tho United State?, or cot being o

to have been afterwards sanctioned by the consti

tution itself. I allude, said Mr. H. to the ordinance of Congress of July, 1787, which is declared to be a compact "unalterable unless by common consent" between the original States, and the Peopie, and States in the north western territory, wherein the navigable waters of the Wabasli and of the Miami of Lake Erie, and the carrying place between them, are declared to be common high-ways. The ordinance alluded to, is in these words: "The navigable waters leading into ihe Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall bo common highways and forever free, as well to the inhabitants of the said territory, as to the citizens of the United Stales, and those of any other States, that may be admitted into the confederacy, without any lax, impost of duty therefor. Now sir, the people of iho Northwestern Territory, at this lime the people of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and the Territory of Michigan, have never as yet requested any change in this ordinance. It remains now, as it was then. It secures to the people of the then Northwestern Territory, tho froo navigation of the rivers leading into

and presented to the Senate. It was relied on as a strong ground, and one which shielded iho application 'then made from the constitutional difficulty about internal improvements. This ground was then sustained by the Senate. An appropriation of public lands was made to this object in March, 1S27; and by the united aid of this appropriation, and of the energies of the State, the canal is now in rapid progress. The State of Indiana is unable at this time to

prosecute and accomplish this work. The canal which she is now pushing rapidly on, is as much as ought to be expected from her at the present time. Where the interesi of the general government, as in the present case, is in unison with those of the State; the object decidedly one of national importance, and where the obligations of ihe federal go

vernment to tne people ot the Stale end of the U. States in the construction of this work paramount to all others, it does seem reasonable thut an appropriation should be unhesitatingly granted loaid in making this improvement; otherwise it must be left undone till the State of Indiana shall have finished her canal, which canal must still remain for a

great portion of the year, comparatively useless, lill the river shall be improved. The people of the western country, as a matter of necessity, consume foreign goods, almost to tho amount of their surplus productions, and the land holder in that country is deeply interested in every ficilityof transportation, to and from the country. rill . . . .

value of his agricultural productions, as well as diminishes the cost of Custom House goods. Every facility too of transportation diminishes the difficulty and expense of emigrants in getting to the country, brings more means and more people into the country; saves more of their means lo purchase public lands after they get there; increases the receipts into the land offices, and is of lasting benefit to tho emigrating classes of tho old Stales. But, considerations of this kind might be multiplied to an unlimited extenf, and I shall not dwell on

them. I havo, said the honorable Senator, the most im

plicit confidence in the declaration of tl dent, in which he regrets that he could not
