Wise Talking. "vT e aeldom meet with to much glorious truth, spoken k briefly, plainly, and with snch genuine fire, as in the f dlowiug paragraph from Henry A. Wise. !t was recently uttered in the Constitutional Convention now in session at Richmond. Mr. Chilton of Fauquier, a whig member, bad first had the temerity to announce the WMHst sentiment oi his party: " We must have an infusion X Monarchical and aristocratic principles, in oidt r U check pure Democracy." Mr. Wise responded as follows; " II . a traitor to his nauve land, A traitwr to mankind, who in a rauaa Tli at down the course of time will fire the world, Knie not upon the Ugbuuuj of the sky, To save hü country.
" I deny bere.jthat there b a pa.ticle of aristocracy or ! monarchy ne -esiry to the well-being or safety, either of person or property. I deny it. I vindicate American doctrines I vindicate Äiuerican libeity. Here, landing in the Capitol of Virginia, in this assembly, . reprinting the sovereignty of the people of Virginia, in the name ol" my fore-fathers in the name of my chil- . dreu in the name of my own rights in the name of the dig siiiy of human nature, and the authority of that rea-1 on and conscience, which asstmulates me t.i my God, I , üenv that dctrinc and here repel it. I thank the gentleman . t- r üerving my sides to this patient labor. Sir. you and I are aiuip dos in our principles. Your doctrines have been for seventy odd years too much regarded. I must speak : plainly among our people, especially east of the mountains ot Virginia. Thank God, every evil cures itself, j There was once a day when the aristocracy in the State j Virginia wore white topped boot, and ruifs and powIsred hair. There was once a day when white men could stand at the door, with hat under arm and bow to that aristocracy as it rolled by in Olympic- chariot, cast- ! in.T its dust into the eves of the people ; but now. in Old Virginia, to be talking a'nout aristocracy, when it is so poor, t.iat noue are so poor as to do it reverence ! Laughter." That is iust the ticket, Mr. Wie. This gentleman was a whig long enough to ascertain that they live, move, and have their being, as a party, only for building op a svstem of exclusion in favor uf their so-called let-1 ter classes, who shall be supported from the unrequited substance of the masses. Ho found that the sentiMM ot Daniel Webster, the worst fed-ralist since j Alexander Hamilton " take care of the rich, and the! rich will take care of the poor.'' was the ruling senti- j ment of the wbigs, ami Mr. Wise left that party. The 1 above extract snows the soundness and the sincerity of his conversion. Okio Statesman. From the Kentucky Yeoman ) Nxw Conbtitctiox or I.nhiaxa. We have read the new constitution of Indiana, and tiud it in all essential respects like our own. It has the same republican features in all its provisions, and wc are bound to say that in several respects we like it better than our own. There are a few provisions not entirely suited to this latitude, and one or two perhaps most too liberal that for instance which admits every respectable man to the right of a practicing lawyer. We are not MM about this, however. The profession of the law has always lieen an oligarchy, and we have no objection to sec a bold innovation upon its hitherto exclusive prerogatives. The constitution prohibits free negroes or inulattoes settling in the State, or being employed by any of the citizens, under penaitv, setting aside the fines lor colonization purposes. We like the Indiana constitution very much, and nave no doubt ef its adoption by the noble-minded, liberal and enlightened people of that State.

From the :te Journal. Mississippi and Atlstutic Railroad Some misconception has prevailed -elative to the present situation and prospects of the Mississippi and jitli itic Railroad, the lOüe of which takes the originally iirojected line of the Cumberland Koad, from Tene laut to Ilunoistown. opposite S:. Louis, thus completing the last and most direct link in the great system of railway communication, now so nearly accomplished between the Atlantic cities, and the emporium of the West. My duty to the stockholders engaged in this enterprise may justify a concise statement ol the facts necessary to a correct apprehension of the case. In conformity with an act passed by tha General Assembly of Illinois, under the title of "An ac. to provide for a general system of Kailroad Corporation,'' articles of association were entered into for the purpose of "contructmg, owning, and maintaining a railroad," as set fortii in said articles, a copy of which is tiled according to law, in the office of Secretary of Stale. Having fuily complied with the requisitions of the law, the act constitutes the association a corporate body, for the term of tiny years from the 12th day of October, 1.50, which is the date of entering said copy on tile. Tue 22 I c tion of t ie general railroad law, which is somewhat prolix and ambiguous, professes to reserve to the Legislature the right, in certain eases, to rix the route and termini of roads, which shall not lie constructed without its express sanction, by a law to be passed thereat ter. Although well assured. not only by our own judgment, bothy the opinion of eminent and distinguished jurists that this reserved power could not be exercised to our pre ,udke: it was deemed advisable, by a majority of the ti ird of Directors, that in order to prevent a possible misconception on the subject, which might in some degree prejudice the sale of stock, we should request of J'ie Legislature their ''express sanction" to our route and termini. In our application to that body we remark: That, "having complied with all the requisitions of the law which invites the citizen to bestow his time and his means upon those works of permanent utility which are calculated to promote the general welfare, haviag, with much labor and expense, completed an accurate and scientific survey of the route, over a great portion of which the right of way has been secured, we now request that express sanction on the part of the Legislature of the State, w hich the terras of the act indicate' and which is desirable to give character and efficiency to our enterprise, by relieving us from all misconception relative to the legitimate construction of the general law under which wa arc incorporated. Thi application was rejected in the several forms in which it was presented, and had it been in the power of I the Legislature to destroy onr corporate existence, and ' deprive ns of our property and of our rights, the result j might have been disastrous to both. Fortunately, however, for the safety of the people, thy p . -sscd no such power. j It gives me much satisfaction to assure the friends of this great and us -ful enterprise, that its prosiieet of entire success, anJ early accomplishment, is in the highest degree flattering, and that no effort shall be wauling, on the part of the Directors, to meet the jusr expectation of the stockholders, and of the public at lar-e WILLIAM S.'WAIT.

RIVERS AND HARBORS. Remarks of Mr. Fitch, if Indiana, In the House of Representatives, Friday, Fekraar'j 14, 1851. The House being in committee of the Whole, on the state of the Union, (Mr. Moade in the chair.) on the bill making appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harborsMr. FITCH said: Mr. Chairman: It is not my intention to discuss the details of this bill, but its importance is such as t render
me averse to giving a silent rote. It is Uie principle involved the constitutional right to make appropriations ; of this character for which I shall contend. It may not be inappropriate to first answer an allegation of the gentiemanlast up Mr. Morse. He charged the frier.. !s of the bill with the manifestation of a wish t rush it through Congress " with indecent haste." The gentleman must be very oblivious of facts when he indiiises in j such language. N such disposition has lcen. or is entertained by its friends. On the contrary, the bill was, reported during the last session, has been before the House ever since, and of easy access, if not upon the1 desk of all members. If gentlerr en have neglected to make themselves familiar with its details Mihin the months during which it h;is been liefore ii-. who is blamcable, the friends of the bill, or those who have ' thus neglected to inform themselves of the business of : the House, and ujion which t hey knew they would be required to act? So far from there having been any M in- j decent haste'' manifested by those who intend support-1 ing the bill, they have given notice time after time fori months past, during this session and the Inst, of their in- j teniioii to call it up on the very first opportunity. And in have made repented attempts so to do but hither, to unsuccessfully. Where was the gentleman from Lou- , i-i.un. I .Mr. Mörse during all this time? My anxie- ' ty to state the reasons which control my Vote in favor of I the bill, is the greater be ause of there lcing certain gent leinen on this side o the House, who esteem their j own judgment so infallible in political matters, that they desire to coerce all others into a supjiort of their views. To do tiiis, they evince a disposition to nrrav against; such of the democratic party ns support the bill a charge I of abandonment of the principles of the party. They I pay but a poor compliment to their own honesty and integrity of purpose, when. .y using idle threats towards lim, thev thereby tacitly admit the probability of themselves being influenced by such. My democracy it as unquestioned and unquestionable as that of any memher upon this floor; but I shall not squaie my olilical ' action by that of any self-constituted mentor. Gentle- I men mav choose a Procrustean bed upon which tomeasTO themselves, but they err if they imagine I will 1 submit to be cut off lie cause too long, or stret h -d out because too short, that 1 may be adapted to their standard. The names of eminent men. the earlier Presidents and Otbars, have beep appealed to by the opponents of the bill to sustain the positions they assume. The acts and i opinions of these eminent men are upon record, and the reeMJ shows that those sustaining the bill have by far 1 the greatest amount of evidence afforded by such nets and opinions, in their favor. In 1789. the first Congress under the Constitution, a Congress composed in part of I the very men who had iramcd the Constitution, passed, an act appropriating out of the National Treasury the necessary funds for the " support, maintenance, and re. pairs of all light houses, lieacons. buoys, and public Diers:'' u at the entrance of, or within anv Lav. inlet. darbor. or port of the United States, for rendering the navigation thereof easy and safe;"' and placing all such works under the stiperintende.ice of the President. This act Mas approved August 7. 1739, by General Washing, j ton. It wa a gen ral net, embracing nil the establishments then connected with our commerce. Our great Waal lakes and rivers were scarcely known except by j name. They were naviiratcd by little other than the canoe of tiie red man. Had tiie country been tiien as now, can any one doubt that the same provisions ' for j rendering the navigation thereof e.rsy and safe" would j have MM extended to those great inland channels? And ; a M of the many opponents of the bill now before us j will Hare question tin' knowledge and correct interjiretation of the Constitution by thai Congress? Who w ill be bold enough to charge Washington with aiding the Gen- j end Government in usurping rights not its own, or acting in a manner other than for the liest interests ef his country ? Mr. Jefferson's opinions, though he was favorable to the principle, was adverse to the constitutionality of appropriations for '-roods, rivers, and canalt;" but this : opinion cannot he fairly arrayed against the bill under dis- j cussion. for it provides lor neither "roads'" nor "canals." I Then, and for some time subsequently, no distinction was known or made between appropriations for artificial ; channels roads and canai and natural channels ; lakes and rivers ; h-ing all classed in the same category ; j and indeed national establishments for education iucludcd with them; all were by Mr. Jellerson esteemed unconstitutional! And how could any other opinion of such a group be entertained, then or ever? Now the j distinction is well defined and well understood. Mr. ; Jefferson, however, practically contradicted his consti- , tutioual objection to roads, by approving and signing a bill appropriating money for " laying out and making''. IM Cumberland road; and subsequently confirmed this j contradiction by recommending a continuance of tiie : road west. That ' roads and canals" were the special j improvements be esteemed unconstitutional for the General Government, we can fairly infer from his protest, ! written for the Virginia Assembly, at it much later pe riod, (125,) and after our lakes and rivers, by the injam of our population and the introduction of steam- ; i a s. had acquired importance as national channels of ; commerce. In that protest, M roads and canals' only are mentioned as the internal improvements by the General Government, to which exception was taken. Mr. ! Madison was likewise favoroble to the policy of internal improvements but thought them unconstitutional. As. however, he signed appropriations for harbors, the latter ' could not nave been embraced among the works he thus , esteemed. Mr. Monroe's earlier opinions coincided with Mr. Madison's; but within the period during which he entertained such opinions, he approved one (although he j vetoed another) bill making appropriation for internal improvements. His views were subsequently changed, and he avowed his lielicf in the constitutional right to ' appropi iate for works of a national character. General Jackson was opposed, upon constitutional ; grounds, to appropriations lor works u which are not national in their character' and recommended Congress to retrain from prosecuting any except " improvements already begun." He appears to have belitved works on the scuconst to M national and Constitutional, liecausc " the consumer in tue most inland Stnte derives the same advantage from every necessary and prudent expenditure for the facility and security of our foreign commerce and navigation, that he does who resides in a maritime State.' A true proposition; and so is its' converse. What citizen of a maritime State what maritime town is not interested in and benefited by facilities afforded oin gi eat inland kike and river navigation? What .vould .Yew Orleans the principal city in the State. r piesentcd in part by the gentleman who has just spoken against the bill Mr. Morse what would that city he, without tiie Mississippi and its tributaries? What a fall- i ing off would occur in tue wealth and business of New York, if our great lakes could not be navigated fur the want of harbors? A very considerable share of our foreign commerce is dependent upon that of our lakes and rivers. General Jackson's objections to one river and harbor bill were, that it made appropriations " for the improvement ot strcau.s that are not navigable, that are i.ot channels of I commerce, and that do not peruiin to the Harbors or ports ! of entry doignatL'd by law. or have any ascertained connection with the usual establishments for tiie security of commerce, external or internal." These objections MataiaaH the admissions any true friend of rivers and hailrars can desire, anil, together with his support of such works as did not lose " sight of the distinction between national and local character,1' would subject him to the same Renunciations which are burled at the supporters of the bill before ns. by certain of its opioneuts. who exceed ill others of their " day and generation" in , political wisdom according to fheir owu estimate. Thev ate in imminent dauger, lor " Some hare Iven woun leJ w.th conceit, And d.ed of mere opinion I ah 1 Aitiioii''li an advocate of tiiis hill, I am not among those, if there ate any nnd there mast le few. if any, on this side- of t.ie House who would vote an expcutfiture on a river not navigable, to make it so by dams, locks, and side cuts. There is a wide difference between expenditure for such a purpose, und for the purpose of removing accidental obstructions from a river well known to Ue naturally navigable. I would mt vole money for improvement of a harbor where there could !c no commerce a Ii irlior which had no ' connection with the usual establishments lor the security of commerce, external or internal," or for a work which ' lost sight of the distinction between national nnd loon! character.'' Nor mid my rote be cat for appropriations from the National Treasury for construction of turnpike, railroad., or canuls. These were General Jackson's views, and yet he cave his sanction to lour or five bills similar in their provisions to the one before us for rivers nnd harbors. Dowu to this time (General Jackion's administration) there had been no properly-defined distinction lictwecn works of n meal ami national character between flic improvement of natural channels of commerce, and the creation of artificial channel. This distinction liccame gradually to be iencrally recognized, and for its recognition we are mainly indebted to General Jackson, in bis Maysville turnpike veto. It is now one o the beat-'ettled and safest principles of the Democratic party, and I might almost any, of oorG.tveminent, in the keeping of whatever pa.-ty it may be. for the time being. In consequence of this distinction becoming then recognind by the Democrat, the quea.
tion of internal improvements assumed more of a party character than it could previously claim. The Democratic party insisted upon this distinction, while the Whigs advocated the prosecution of a general system, embracing railroads and canals. Wc have the authority of Mr. McDuffie, of South Carolina, for the statement that the policy of internal improvements is of Republican or Democratic origin. The first st.'p in supj ort of the policy, which contemplated anything other than rendei ing easy and Ma tho navigation of M bays, inlets, and harbors,'' as provided for by the act to which 1 have already alluded as approved by General Washington, w as the passage of a bill approved by Mr Jefferson, for the Cumberland road, then supposed to bj a national work. Mr. J. Q. Adams claims to be the first who attempted to reduce this policy to a system, for " the purpose f;f opening roads and making canals," by the introduction in the Senate, in H07, of a resolution (drawn by himself but introduced by .uotlicr Senator) contemplating such system. And he tells us that the great effort of his " Administration was to mature into a pcriuancnt and regular system t lie application of all tue surplus revenue of the Union to internal improvement." Finding the policy originally Democratic was popular, the Federalists (Whigs) sought to avail themselves of its popularity to perpetuate their power. Hence they reduced it to a system, the expenditures under which were of such a character that the Democratic (Jackson) Administration which succeeded Mr. Adams checked them, and
strove to confine them to legitimate objects and pui poses, viz: the improvement, in such manner as to render them safe, of existing channels of national commerce. The distinction to which I have alluded became now, therefore, a party question: the Democrats desiring to limit the objects and purposes of the expenditures ; the Whigs to continue them for all objects which enter into a general system of internal improvements viz: roads and canals as well as important rivers and harbors. Hence the Democratic party, in the National Convention, fat Baltimore.) which nominated Mr. Van Büren as General Jackson's successor, for the first time, adopted the resolution declaring that the " Constitution does not confer upon the General Government th- power to commence and carry on a eeucral system of raten. al improvements." Upon this issue this declaration of principle, among others. Mr. Van Buren was elected. He called about him an able Cabinet, and was supported bv the best talent of the country among others by Silas 1 rigfc . Their understanding of the resolution is clearly conveyed by their acts. It is the plain common sense understanding tiie only on" wlucli can lie arrived at without a perversion of its letter and spirit viz: that Government has no constitutional power to commence and carry on all the w orks which in the aggregate constitute a general system of internal improvements, including of course railroads, canals, and turnpikes. For any system not embracing all these, so far from lcing a general, would be a partial syt ' . m. I said the acts of Silas Wright and other supporters of Mr. Van Burcn's administration showed conclusively their understanding of the resolution. Those acts were, among others, the introduction by "lr. Yv rignt into tbe senate, ami I lie passage and approval by the President of a river and bar bS! now before 1 i d JSmmTTmmS f Silas Wright or .11 ! o I A H.Tin Van of Silas Wright, or the then democrat of Maitm n Btiien? Mr. TIer vetoed the "Eas'ern Harbor" bill, and ap proved one for improvement of certain western rivers uid the lake harbors. In his veto ol the o, mer, we timl Iral advanced tho singular doctrine that the power to remove obstructions ruin n ivi-'al. -; livers neccssanlv implies the power to dig canals and pave roads, mid is consequently unconstitutional. c-uel reasoning is not entitled to the merit of respectable sophistry. It was resorted to merely to justify a foregone determination to veto. Such reasoning, moreover, involves an absurdity. The power to remove accidental obstructions from a liver naturally navigable, aud a channel of national commerce, or to render safe a harbor already in 09 itcnec, is a power to protect, to "regulate commerce"- a power given by the letter of the Constitution. But to excavate canals, or make slack-water navigation, or roads, is to create commerce where there was none; and that, Congress has no power to do, express or implied. Yet, according to Mr, Tyler's reasoning, the latter power is inseparable from the former, and neither of them constitutional' The National Convention, by which Mr. Polk was nominated, adopted the same resolution, already mentioned, in opposition to a general system of internal improvements. In his first veto of a river and harlair bill, he recognized the distinction which was universally t-oiiteuded for by the Democratic party between national and local works, and natural and artificial channels of commerce. In that veto he said he was ' not disposed to question or disturb the authority to make appropriations' for protection and safety of "existing channels of navigation." He leaves us t. infer that his opposition wus to appropriations to be exp mlcd "for the advantage of smail sections, instead of being applied to the great national purposes in which all have a common interest." The difficulty with him was, to ascertain what were "national purposes." He admitted that some of tiie objects in the liver and harbor bill were unexceptionable, and of course constitutional, thereby un equivocally recognizing tho correctness of the principle involved viz: the constitutionality of stich aiiprourialions. Hi vetoed that bill because, first, be considered it unconstitutional: second, it was unc orslitutionai in part ; third, if constitutional, we had not in the 1 reasury the money it proposed to appropriate: fourth, if we had the money, we needed it to prosecute the then existing
Mexican war! It he had rsted ins veto upon the last ! would not exenange one oi mem lor one nan no nor ground alone, the friends of rivers and harbors would j for three-fourths of the opponents in this House of the have cheerfully acquiesced ; for verv few I fancy and if! bill now before us. any, I am certainly not of the number desire the coun- This vote, and the "record" for years past, show scontry to contract a national debt, or Ire crippled in the pros- i clusivcly what are the landmarks and principles of the edition of a war, for the purpose of improving rivers and ; Democratic party. And those of the party who oppose harbors. But as it was, his medley of reasoning was by the right involved in this bill, and have thereby bolted
no means satisfactory, as the subsequent vote on the bill manifests. In his veto of Decemiicr lüth, 1847, lie adopts Mr. Tyler's reasoning that if Congress has power to improve a natural harbor, the power to create a harbor where there was none necessarily follows; if we have the power to clear a navigable river of accidental obstruct ims, it follows that we have equal power to make such navigable as are -1 so naturally, and to "improve them to their fountain head, and make ijicm navigable to their sources," by slack water, or side cuts. or adjunct canals. The conclusion here, as in the simi - lar reasoning by Mr. Tyler, is a non scquitur from the premises. It may be very excellent logic, but I acknowledge mv inability to appreciate it. I .xdmired Mr Polk, was to the extent of my ability one of his warmest supporters; but this did not make mc blind to his errors, and among hi most prominent was tiiis forced conclusion. It wi s an error, in that it did injustice to himself, in making mm inconsistent with lumsell, with his opinion as expressed in bis nrst veto message. Tiie power to remove obstructions from a naturally navigable river, or . - .i I,. . . -1 i i . . - to iciiuci .suic a uaiuiui uarnor. is a power to appropriate lor "existing channels of navigation" -a power which Mr. Polk, in his Itrst veto message, was ' not dis posed to question or distmb;" but which, in his veto of ueceinuer, n-w , ue M oaitiy tlenies. It is a power io appropriate for ''great national purposes in which all hase a common interest." It w as an error, becacso it docs injustice to the eminent men whose opinions he cites to sustain his own Madison, Monroe, and Jackson. They did practically recognize a distinction between national and local woiks, and between "existing channels of navigatiou" and the creation of new channels.

But ns such j ferencc in principle between appropriations for different

The answer, so far as intended to desiernate only the standard or watch-words with which we ! entered and prosecuted those contests, was well enough. J Had it been designed to convey the idea that were there
no principles contended for by us, it wonld have been wide of the truth. Upon the vei v subject now under i i . . ..... . ,X . . f. I I
discussion tlicre was, especially in 144, a wcit-oenneu j issue between the two parties. Air Clay was intimately ; identihed with Mr. Adam's general system ol interna! ! improvements embracing the Maysville turnpike, and j roads and canals generally, wherever the caprice of the moment, or the interests of a lew influential men might require governmental expenditures for such purposes. Against this, and against the candidate, the "imbodiB)at of the party advocating it the Democrats took ground, declaring their opposition to a general system a system which included works of such character. They desired to limit the system to national works; the expenditures to ''existing channels of navigation." Our principles have always been well defined. We have ever sought to legislate within constitutional bounds, for the "greatest good to the greatest number." Hence we have been found arrayed against a United States Bank and a protective tariff1 measures which, like all niouopolies, built up the few and rendered the many subservient to them. If our principles have not been advocated in every political contest, it has been for the reason that our opponents have declined joining issue with us, thereby endeavoring to induce a belief of their acqniescensc in our principles, although, desiring the "sjioils," they would not sustain our men. And when there was no opposition to a principle avowed, there need be no advocacy of it. In taking ''Polk and Dallas," "Cass and Butler," as our candidates our party watch-words we took them not with new principles, or with none, but with those avowed bv the conventions at which thev were nominated, and to which they were pledged by their past lives. We knew not cnly for trAo, but fr trhat we were contending. How with our opponents? Were they fighting for office, not principles? So it would seem; for in 1840 and 1848, tMJ certainly nominated men from motives of expediency. They either had no principles, or dared not advocate them.

I I fea venture to denounce Uemocrnts advocating this m inci pie, and question their political orthodoxy. 1 have shown that the very resolution under and by which they ' claim 1 lint me ucmoci atic panv is commuted against the principle, was not so intended nor so understood Uy me 111 si ia iii ci ; 1 e .viuiiuimi anon v men came into power alter its adoption. The resolution then being re cent, ami tue acts ana discussions wtiicn led to its adoption fresh in the minds of all, that Administration, of all others, must be supposed to have been best informed as to its objects and its meaning. If entertaining similar views, and actmg is harmoay with the acts and opinions of almost every Democratic President and Democratic Congress, does not constitute political orthodoxy in the matter before us, I fancy any effort to erect a creed which can be so considered, must fail. The truth i, the opponents of the bill npon this side of the House, fearing they cannot deleat it upon tair argumentative grounds, wish to interpolate opposition to it into tl.e Dcmocralie : creed, and hope thereby, by makine it a party question, lo inci case the cbiinctMil ilstlclcat. 1 no more rccoj. MM their rijht to make this interpolation than I do that ol the oentlemati from Mississippi, Mr BrownJ as demnnded in his recent speech, ingratt upon our creed the principle of express protection bv the General Government of nesro propeity in all our Territories. Mr. BROWN of Mississippi. Certainly, I expect the party to nttoot that principle. Mr. FITCH. "o. sir, no sooner than they will adopt the principle of total nMition of that property in the :tiles where it now exists. IW will denunciation ol tliose who will not submit tosncli interpolations, strengthen the hands of those attempting them. The Democratic MaMMtl of this bill, to sustain their orthodoxy, have ajMtlM to Mr. Polk's veto. To sustain that of its Democratic friends. I will call attention to the vote on the passage of the same bill thus vetoed. In the senate MOM those who voted for the bill I find Meaaro. Allen, Benton, Breese . Cass, Dickinson, Dix, Will anv one venture to Haiincgan. Rusk, nnd Sevier. question the Democracy of these men? men recognized. j not only by their ow n party, but by tbe nation and the I world us not merely Democrats, but statesman! eminent for talent and patriotism for their inlegiilv. and the sincerity with w hich they have advocated their country's I best interests. I want no better political indorsers, and their party "landmarks and principles," shall not diveit attention from their ow n erratic course by any ci v of "Stop thief!" Of all the opposition to the bill, that which comes from my own section of country surprises me moit ap pears the most unnatural. Many of .my own colleagues oppose it. Their reasons I know not. Doubtless thev nave reasons as satisfactory to themselves, as arc mine to my own mind for its support. With Lake Michigan , upon our north, the Ohio upon our south, Lake Eric but ) a short distance from our eastern liordcr, and all of these the Ircqucnt scenes of disasters involving immense loss of life and property, and with our railroads and canals pointing to all has Indiana no interest in the bill? Juslice to our constituents and their interest dictate, it seems to me, and tbe welfare of the whole country justifies, our support of the bill; while, at the same time, 1 there is no party principle involved to forbid such sup port; for the bill does not contemplate a .icral system f internal improvements. What is meant by a general system of internal improvements, we of Indiana well 1 1 , i i 1 1 . i . know, and have been well taught by experience the evils of such system whether undertaken by State or General Government. But this bill eontempiites no roads, no canals, no artificial channnels of trade of any kind. Mr. bORMAJi, (interrupting, and Mr. 1 itch xiving way.) While mv friend has referred to some o:" hi co! leagues, and has read the names uf several distinguished Senators as having voted for a certain bill, I trust my friend will do justice to all by stating to the House that 'he bill, to the Senate vote on which he referred, was a separate bili for a particular and specific object. Mr. Dix, of New York, introduced thirty-two different bills for ii-florcnt obieets of internal improvement .'and it was mie of these bills upon which this vote was taken. If my colleague will introduce thirty-two different bills for rivers and'hatbors, I should most" probably find some foj which I wonld vote. Mr. FITCH. I was not aware of the introduction bv Mr. Dix. or any one else, of tbe thirty two bills which my eolleaCM mentions. I cannot state, as my MatoagM desire?, that the bill, to the Senate vote on which I have alluded, was one of the thirty-two bills he mentions, be i cause such is not flic case. Mr McLANE. The oentb man fMr. Gormas! has entirely misapprehended. There wore no such tbiity-l two bills reported as the gentleman has referred to. Tiie vote which his colleague Mr. Fitch mentioned was on the usual river and harbor bill. Mr. GORMAN. I know tbe fact that Mr. Dix did ,,1,,, ,l introduce tr lirtv-two separate bills, containing uppropriutions tor uitterent ohjects, cacu one. Mr. McLANE. The issue which the gentleman Mr Goxman wishes to make w ith his colleague is upon n single vole recorded upon the Senate journal. It is the vote upon the river and harbor biJI. The vote rend bv the eentlcmati from Indiana, on my right, Mr. FitcH.j wus a vote upon the entire river and harltor bill. Tho bill upon which that vole was taken constituted three fourths of the bill which is now upon the Clerk a desk, -und it was the bill which Mr. Polk vetoed. Mr. FITCH. I was aware of tbat. But, Mr. Chairobieets of the same character grouped in one bill, and separate appropriations for the same works in separate a aa l 1 .1 I IT . I 1 bills, is much like the difference between tweedle dee and tweedle dum. In connection with other reasons which might govern Indiana's Representatives, is a resolution adopted by the Inst Democratic State convention for the nomination of State officers. They regarded "the improvement of our lakes, harbors, and western rivers, and the tributaries of the D-reat western lakes, as nroner subjects for the ac tion and fostering care of tbe General Government." We have no reason to doubt their sinceritv in adopting this resolution, and no rirbt to unestion their Democrv cy. The same resolution was adopted bv the conven5 tion which nominated me to the seat which I now hold
and were there no other reason for voting appropriations I lor improvement of the commercial channels meutioned, ; . i ill ...a . ... ' - I
1 snouiu oeera niyseii bound to represent tue wiauiso; my constituents, as proclaimed in that oc tvention. Perhaps the past action ol Indiana's Kepresentatives upon this floor relative to tiiis subject may not have reflected the will and wishes of our Slate; but, if not, ourselves and our Icllow-cilizens have singularly neglected to make known the fact. If their action was a true reflection of the sentiments of those w ho are now our constituents, why should our action be different ? No change adverse to former action upon this river and harbur question has occurred; or, if it has, tha change is unknown tome. Let us see, then, what have been the votes of our predecessors. On the 28th February, 1S45, a river and harbor bill passed the House, every member from Indiana voting in the affirmative! Fight of the ten were Demo crats and any attempt to question their Democracy will meet with but feeble response from Indiana. It is rare that any State, in the si.rac number of Represetatives, can boast of more talent than Indiana then possessed upon tiiis floor. Among them were Davis, Kennedy , 0ven, Pcttit, and Wright. The river and harbor bill, the veto of which by Mr. Polk has been made matter of such graiulation by the opponents of the bill now liefore us, passed the House 20th March, 1846. Six of Indiana's Kepresentatives voted for it one against it. One (Mr. Davis) was the presiding officer, and two did not vote. Later still, (December. ls47,) on a resolution declaring the existence of the power to make these appropriations, but one negative vote from Iudiana is recorded . The West contributes more than its proportionate share to the National Treasury. And what is ui return? Willi tue exception of now and then a giant of land grudgingly doled to us, wiib smiie condition annexed by w hich the National Treasury is guarded from loss, in what diK's our share 'consist? We ask no v. ttiYntious." They me loiuid in the hcatts and rifles of gm constituents. They arc ever ready to '-join their heart, nu with thrir LeuU 1Mb hands, That no 1!.-- i.s.uii Linder Goveiuim ut." We have no expenditures for splendid "custom-houses,'' "post offices,'' "mail steamers," nor "brain h limits ;" and shall wc not have the pittance tiiis bill offciS. to improve our lakes and rivess, those noble channels tj com merce which have made our States what they arc, and I added their millions ti the wealth of the hole country? L ist.ainl West are the objects o the bid. l.atevei adds safety to the lake navigation benefits New York, Boston, and New Orleans, for they are the cntrejolt for our product. Whatever improves the Mississippi and Ohio, benefits New Oi lcans at one extreme, Pittsburg, Baltimore, and Philadelphia at the other. Mr. ALBERTSON. (interrupting ) I wish to ak my colleague a question. What is the amount of ap1 oronriatio.i in the bill for the O do and Misaiaainn riv crs: and to act that small i.iitane what amount do mtm vote toother sections? Mr. FITCH. To the Ohio and Mississippi ate appropriated some $3jO.(X)0; and the aggregate sum ;. ' preprinted bv the bill is somewhere near $2.00U.U(jU. I 1 I t . . 1 1 r x.- a F m la fetM SSi the Ohm SmTCST of it intended for the river and hark at S? Louis ? Mr. FITCH. I have examined the details of ,be bill mnr- illv iln Mii....... n.,.-..v t .i , Tho appi ora iat ion which it contemplates for t.iat portion of the Ohio in which his constituents aic directly interested is near $12U.0U0. This is a large proportion for one river. Js lac opposition oi inv co.itM.ne (ioil tin j derstand him to be opposed to the' bill) a matter ol price 01 dollars nn.l cents as Ins questions would indicate? If so, his motives are ditlcrent from mine. The bill appropriates but $30.000 to the only harbor Indiana has on the Lakes. But it is not for that 311,000 I am contending; licit bet shall I oppose the bill because the appropriation i-uot larger, as in justice, it siiouid M. It is the principle for which I am contending; and priie ipic should not be kept in market at uny price. If tM present appropriation for the Ohio is not sulii icnt, let the right, the principle involved, be recognized, and appropriations can suiiseipiently, as the national finances permit, be increased to the extent demanded by obstruc tions to the navigation of the river. That there are no ; oiuectionable features in this bill. I am cot oreoared to anr There d -ubtle.s are such. No one. in my imloment . should vole ii.niiiAt a bill ol ibis .-bor.-.. .tor unless for some better reason than the fact that not having personal knowledge of the necessity of all its items, he fears some of them may not be absolutely essential to the national prosperity. It wan well said by a former committee ol Congress that "it would doubtless be better that an occasional error should occur iu favor of some subordinate or u:. important improvement, than tbat our whole commerce be exposed to peril and left without protection " Having no personil knowledge uf the extent of commerce, iu parts of our widely-extended Uuipart on remote from my own section, 1 will not assume tosay ; whether or not every river and harbor embraced in this j bill is such M to constitute it national; whether Of not I the commerce of all requires and deserves t lie lostcring I care of Government to remove accidental obstructions. ; or atiord safe harbors. I can no more judge of these things than can those members living iu other remutc sections know or judge of my own. From the very naj ture of our Goernment, and the extent of our countiy I and diversity of its interests, we mut ue-e-cssarily rely i upon each other, and the Departments, and curcomn.ii- ! tecs for the information upon wh ch much of our Icuiala ' tive action is based. The bill liefore us is b iscd t n esi timates from the BMaaf Dcpartiucn s. having all the j means of necessary information. It is framed by and reported from the regular standing ceiiiuuiie ol the House, to which all matters relatiug to loinineiee ate referred. Coming before us under such circumstances, the man must have an overweening opinion uf his own knowledge and sagacity, who will cavil at its details, or oppose it because, in his opinion, some of its items are loo large or too small. So long as its aggregate keeps within such moderate limits a similar acts I on. lot m m passed indicate ; and thete is no war or other exi ting e-on-dition of the nation or Treasury to lorbid its passage, tl.e only question to be settled iu relation to it. iu mv no ml, is the principle involved the right to muke any appro priatiens for the objects coi.t. mplatcd. I satisfied of that right. 1 am el any : Mr. AVLRETT, (interrupting) ill the gentle man allow me to ask him to draw the distinction be tween the generul system of internal improvement which was denounced by the llaitiinorc piatioim, and asysieu. made up of parts put together us in this bill. Mr. FITCH. 1 have answered the (uesiion l.eloie ü was asked ; but will answer it again wiln pleasure. 1 have traced tM origM tf faM position t.i a general system of internal improvements ; and slated what ti.al system was proposing, as it did, canals, and including roads like the May.-ville turnpike. Tbe very pbra eulogy of the Baltimore platform clearly marks (be distinction they ,'lrc-w. A general svstem, must be a sys cm iachaKna the w hole class or order of vvorns wi.ieii can j come under the head of infernal improvements. . Ml- . oral system coin prebends all ill contradistinction ol a special or parUat one. It is to lie prc.-umcu iuai oincr political bodies as well understand the meaning of wotds anil MB use them ns appropriately as Congress. A general system, then, would embrace roads and canals, and slack.waler navigation. There are no such works Contemplated in this bill. On the contrary, it provides only for improvement of those great channels which nature aud Nature's God has given us. by removal uf accidental obstructions, and such additional works as may be nccessaiy to render harliors safe. The great commercial channels are by law exclusively under the superintendence of the General Government. You will I nut pei mit the individual States to control ihcm, and lay tonnage duties lor their improvement ; you will not permit individuals or associations to improve them and collect toll, because they are national highways, whichrou esteem it unsafe to intrust cither to States or individual. And yet you declare that the General Government must not, and cannot of right, improve and render them sale. Such policy is a practical illustration of a fable which the opponents ol this bill may read, perhaps, with some 1 b-tnotit The 'n-entleman from Louisiana. fMr Morse.) in the course of his remarks, declared hi In In i that the bill was an iniquitous one. and expressed tiie hope that a tariff" amendment would be r.flcred to it thouph entirely irrevelant ; and avowed his intention, if such amendment was offered, though opposed to any tariff proposition which would be likely to come from the other side of the II uisc, to vote for il, for the purpose of so loading down the bill as to insure its destruction. This was designed as a hint for the guidance of the enemies ot the bill on the other side of the House. I regretted to see such a snii it manifested. Ills not the open, manlv. iiigenius opposition we have right to expect to a measure of this character nnd importance. It is not even creditable strategy for that implies some cunning, It is stooping to a legislative trick lor the purpose of defeating a measure, which an opponent fears cannot be MMMaMlly opposed on its merits. Mr. MORSE. I hope the gentleman will not apply any personal epithets. Uid I understand him te use the word "stupid" in allusion to rod Laughter. Mr. FITCH. The gentleman has mistaken stooping j for stupid. Laughter. I might, if timo permitted, draw a parallel between the appropriations east and wesi between those in this bill which are for expenditure in the West, ami those which Ir.rm their veiy nature and purposes are expended east, and are often ol a local ehwracter. Samce it to sav the balance is largely due us. And. again. I repeat. hall we not have the small pittance proposed by this bit' tobe expended West, though for tne common benefit and welfare? V we do not obtain it, we are despoiled of that which is justly ours. If we submit to such spoliation we deserve worse deserve not only to be despoiled, but to be taunted with the cowardly weakness which divisions lieget, and told to stand aside while some other ection better united takes the lion's share all '
