520ff Congress,

Session.

In Senate, December 16th. On motion of Mr. Tipton, the resolution submitted by him a few days since, directing an inquiry into the expediency of making an appropriation to improve the navigation of the river Wabash, was taken up for consideration.

Mr. T. said; The resolution now before the Senate is to renew an effort to obtain nn appropriation to improve the navigation of the Wabash. Ii is with great reluctance I obtrude myself upon the notice of the Senate ; but this subject is of such vital importance to my constituents, that I cannot let it rest without making another effort to serve them. The feeble state of my health will compel me to condense what I desired to say at this time in rela tion to the subject. Bills have passed both branches of Congress at different sessions appropriating money to improve that river, but to these bills

the President of the United States has relused his sanction, under a mistaken idea, f have no doubt of the claims of the river, and the facts of the case. I consider it due to myself, and not disrespectful

to the President of the United Stales, to state, that I differ from him in opinion in relation to the power to appropriate money to improve the navigation of our rivers. He does not feel authorised to sanction appropriations to improve rivers, unless it be such as lead to ports of entry established by law, and has more than once refused his sanction to bills for improving the Wabash. I am confident that the power exists to appropriate money to improve our nvera in any portion of the United States, where the business of the country and the capacity of the rivers, require improvement. 1 have no frars in tru3lingall the money in the Treasury to the discretion of the appropriating power, to be applied to such objects as the interests of the country may require. Under the supervision and control that the people hold over their public servants through the ballot box, all is perfectly safe. The President, in bis Message, returning the

the Northwest territory to the United States; and, by an ordinance of Congress of 13th July, 17S7,

thf 4th article of the ordinance concludes thus: "The navigable waters leading into the Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall be. common highways, and forever free, as well as to the inhabitants, of the said Territory as to the citizens of the United State?, and

those of any other state that miy be admitted into this Confederacy without any tax, impost, or duty therefor.'"

By nn act of 3d of March, 1S27, Congress granted land to aid in constructing a canal, to connect, at navigable points, the waters of the Wabash with those of Lake Erie, and reserved the right to the United States to transport troops and munitions of war on the canal free of any charge. This canal is now in rapid progress of construction. It lies with

in the limits of two states, and embraces what was the principle carrying place between the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence, at the time of forming the act of cession and ordinance above quoted. The United States has reserved the right to use both

hands, and in selecting a successor to the present Chief Magistrate, hfforc they cast their totes ascertain whether he is for or against internal improvement. No, sir, that is too broad a term; it can be construed to mean any thing or nothing, or explained away. The voters should ascertain whether candidates arc for or against improving

our rivers, and no one holding the opposite doetrine need expect one-fourth of the votes in the valley of the Mississippi. I hope the resolution, and the one for establishing the port of entry at Lafayette, will be adopted,

and that both Congress and the President will agree that the General Government should aid in improving the navigation of tho Wabash; for I am unwilling to believe, without more evidence than is now before me, that there is a disposition in either to prevent it. The resolution was adopted without a division.

At the last session of Congress the bill for improving the navigation of the Wabash was laid before the President on the 2Sth of June, two days before Congress adjourned, and on the 30th of that month, the last day of the session, wc received a

to the merits or demerits ot me nauasu bill, against which I contend that no sound reason can be produced; drawn from the constitution or practice of this Government from its foundation; nor am I able to discover any necessary connection between the Maysville road bill and the Wabash bill. The former provides for a local object, the conetruction of a road from one point to another, within a State; the latter provides means to improve a river, the line of demarcation between two Slates; u reserved public highway for all the people of the United States; as I shall presently show. The common phrase, internal improvement, we generally use in speaking of roads and canals. These may be local; a road or a canal can be constructed in any direction: through a State orcoun-

I ask why not be thus liberal with tho Wuhnsh?-

That river is larger than the Monongahebi; waters a more extensive territory cf the fines soil in the world, with a numerous population to be provided for. To show what has been done elsewhere, I have procured a statement of appropriations for improving, made in 1833 and 1S34. The statement shows that millions on millions are applied to improving rivers and small streams east of the mountains. If but 10, 20 or 50 miles long, you call them rivers, and we improve them. I do not mention this in a spirit of complaint, but to show tho contrast. Wo have our 500 miles of Wabash, 1000 miles of Ohio, and 2000 miles Mis

I have recently been taught that a system is practised to keep men silent that incline to speak out. When Congress 1- .11. T , . , . .e

After the publication of my circular, the Globe, a newspaper published in this city, devoted three or four of its long columns to abusing me, because I had dared to address my constituents. But I do not feel injured by the attack of the Globe: the writer in that paper must establish a character for

cannot, in my judgment be denied. This principle has been acted on from our earliest history, and I know of no case where the General Government has refused to improve a river of so much importance to any portion of our country, as the Wabash is to the Western States.

The appropriation now asked is to be expended in connection with others, to open a lino of water communication from New York to New Orleans. It should be borne in mind that large appropriations have been made to improve the navigation of the Hudson, the Mississippi, and the Ohio rivers. The New York Canal will connect the Hudson tviih Lake Erie and Buffalo; the Wabash & Erie Canal is to connect Lake Erie, through the Miami river, v?'1" lnc Wabash, at or near the town of Lafayette.

The writer of the article in the Globe has mistaken his man; the press, nor no other power that can be brought to bear upon me can intimidate or keep me silent while the interest of Indiana is at stake; and in this case of an appropriation to improve the

Wabash river, I contend that justice has not been j

done her. I do not intend, Mr. President, to charge the Chief Magistrate with intentional injustice, but only to say, that he has acted under a mistaken apprehension of the facts, which has worked injustice to my constituents. A President, or any other public olHcer, is but a transient being, hero to-day, gone to-morrow; but the principles of justice on which our Government should be administered are immutable, and will endure in all time to come.

ADDUESS TO THE PF.OrLE OF THE UNITED STATES. In the history of every free government, there are periods, when a recurrence to primary principles, is tho only security for liberty. The tendency of every parly organization, no matter upon how pure principles, at first based, to degenerate into a combination hostile to the spirit of republican in

stitutions and liable to become an engine in the hands of selfish and interested men, to oppress the people, is the experience of all republics. At such

pv-riods, if the spirit of freedom be still alive, party distinctions and party prejudices are forgotten; the chains, which politicians bind upon the country, are broken; and the people riso in their strength to regenerate and purify the government. Such periods have already transpired in the history ol our own country; and if the signs of the times are not deceptive, such a period is at hand. The public mind has hi come alarmed at the boldness, with which aspiring men have endeavored to possess themselves of power, in defiance of the popular will. The innovations upon the settled policy ol

the country, the extravagances and corruptionsthat have by degrees, crept into every department ol the government, and the open attempts to convert the right of the people to choose their own rulers, into the mere privilege of ratifying the mandates ol politicians, have produced that feverish exciteme nt in the public mind which nothing can cure but a

political regeneration. A similar state of things

existed previous to the time when the Congressiou

a I Caucus w.is put down by the people. This w;is,

at lust merely the means of concentrating publir opinion, but it afterwards b?came an instrument of tyranny to control it. Then the people broke the

fetters of party, which intriguing men had fastened upon them, and destroyed the caucus forever.

But ambitious and undeserving meii will never be content that moral worth, correct principles, public services, talents, and political integrity, shall be the only recommendations for public favor. Some method to take power from the incorruptible many, and give it to the corrupt iblenr some scheme to control the mass, must be devised, or they must remain in obscurity. It is for this purpose that we see the efforts to enslave the people to ren

der them powerless by enlisting them under the banners of party, by taking away from the rank and

file, the right of thinking and acting, and conferring it, exclusively, upon a set of masters, in the character of partizan leaders. A National Convention, composed of delegates chosen by the recipients of expectants of public patronage, in packed, drilled, venial, and irresponsible assemblages, in which not one in a thousand

cf the people participate, is now in contemplation, to dictate to a free people whom they shall ch.ose for their rulers! The uncorru'nted democracv of

, ' - i j this union, never has, and never will sanction such a measure. It never trill take from the people the right of canvassing the merits and judging of the fitness of candidates for office. It never will surrender, to politicians, the freedom of elections, and it will frowu indignantly upon every attempt to in

fringe upon the privilege of freemen to stifle the public voice, or to control the free and unbiased exercise of public opinion. With this system of dictation to the people power, patronage, monied corporations, and aristocratical principles, are in natural alliance; and if skilfully and successfully marshalled, by the enemies of civil liberty, tho triumph over freo principle! is complete,

ing and pacific, but the chivalrous, the patriotic and

the brave, will flock to our standard. A halo of glory which never fails to facinate and fill with enthusiasm a grateful people, will brighten the path to victory over every combination, and render powerless the eflbrts of those who shall dare to stem the resistless torrent of public opinion. Such a man is Grs. William Henry IIaisiusox of Ohio. A statesman, a soldier, a Hero, and an honest man, ho is a fit candidate for the Democratic Republican party of the people.

His valor was not thfl courage ofa mad man; prudence, courage and mercy, peculiarly distinguish him, while rashness, cruelly and revenge form no part of his tharacler. His bravery resembled that of tho Father of his country, and it was this that turned the tide of war upon the frontiers in favor of our arms, and enabled us to end the contest in a bliz? of glory.
