In addition to lbee confederations, lie, J. 7as opposed to it for thcr reasous. Heretofore it uaa in the poer of the Sec retary of War to cau?e such surveys to be made U3 wore found necessary for general improvements. It is i o -a sought to limit these surveys. In Mr. J's Slate they are at a great distance from t he aid of Engineers, and loci: to the G ieral Qovernmeut for aid Is it just that after Ihere works have been carried on tstt qt for other States, that ours should be neglected perhaps forever! The surveys--f of Dankird and Oswego aarbor, in the Stale of New York, Pittsburgh, Presque Isle, Ashtabula Creek, and various others, have been completed; wiltregard to the new States, nothing has been done. It was not because theirs was Icps urgent that they have not applied; no7 that the appropriation is made we are ez einpted, because it is alleged a corps of engineers raust be distributed throughout tli iTlates. It is .ot necessary to ssud as entire corps; one man is suCicient to czamine in the Hist instance. Instead oi taking- the entire course by di tie rent ur veys, one graad slirvey along the coa?t would elici t the object; by divindin yaui engineers throughout the country, ycu Mann the public. Mr. J. knew ol no great work that was not already completed, and wished those States which were not already purveyed," should have the benefit of till- appropriation. The new States should also have that benefit. We ere obliged to forego our nghts until the time is

zed the President of the United States to cause such surveys to be made as he may deem necessary for the improvement of tho country, in a commercial or military point of view, and for the facility of convey ii g the mail since the passage of the law, a small amount was appropriated for the benefit of the email States. Mr. U. should regret, that after the principal States derived the advantages resulting fiom the appropriations thereby made, that they should stop. It would be bad policy to
oake a law appropriating a certain sum lor each useful purposes, and reject its application. The excitement to emulation amonrst the students of this useful science,
should not be checked, but encouraged. It is well known that it requires a long course of fctudy and xperience to become an engineer. You inu-t go on from year to year, and acquire more experience. We are going on well, and should continue. Although a survey made in a particular State is consequently more im nediately tb

In the senate, Mr. Noble gave notice that ho should, on Monday next, call up the bill to continue the Cumberland road. On motion of Mr. Smith, of Lid. the bill making appropriations for internal improvement was taken up. An amendment, propesed by the committee on Finance, to insert 34,C03 dollars
inste- 1 of 26,000 dollars, lor the completion of the Pier at Butf-lo, Nc7 Ycr'j, af-
ter having been explained by F.fr. Smith, of Cd. was cgreed Id; f.Ir. Harris moved to strike out an appropriation of C000 dollars, for the completion of the Pier at Dunkirk, in ft. York. Hot after considerable explanation . and discussion, by Mr. Smith, cr "Id. and Sanford, llr, Parris withdrew his motion... The bill was then reported to the Senate, and having been amendedon motion of Llr Smith of Md. by substituting 5,900 for 9,500 dollars, for the completion of a ' road from Detroit to Miar the amendment adopted yesterday ii. .ommittee cf the Whole to restrict the survey? of Internal Improvement to those objects already commenced, being proposed for confirmation r.lr. Kane opposed the amendment at considerable length, and replied to the arguments cf Mr. M. Lane, of yesterday. He inquired of the committee of Fieance, iionjong it would require to finish the works air ady commenc d, and what amount would be required to defray the expenses of those objects? Llr. Hendricks followed, in opposition to the. amendment, which he looked .upon as a step towards the abandonment of the whole system of internal improvement. , Mr. Hayne explained some of rm remarks, made yesterday, which h. d been alluded toby Mr. Hndrick-. Mr. Johnston, of La. went into an examination, at great length, of the surveys already made under the act of 1 824, and supported the opinion, formerly expressed bv him, that they were.all works o? a natiodal charade. Mr. Smith, of Md. in r.py to the inqui- ; rie of Mr. Kane, observed that the coin-
j mttb-e on finance had no infsrm-tion as to J I he amount of the expense required to finI Uh the surveys al read v commenced, or the
lime which their completion would take. From an examination pf the documents, hehould be led to the conclusion ti .t a sn,.it:s nculd remaiu, out of the 30,000 .'oh irj,af;er the completion of these"" -ur-vet s. Mj. Noole spoke at great length, in op position to the amendment, and with gieat r-cverity, of persons who had changed their course on this subject, and mainlined the partial and unjust influence which , arresting the surveys a, this period w--uld have upon the western states. Mr. Kinerhade s me further remarks, and observed thai, if the supposition ol the gentleman from M.inlaud wa correct, he was stii'l more opposed to the amendment, as it was not customary to make appropriations larger than the object to be effected by 'hem required. Mr. Barton xplained the grounds on which he should vote ag-.iust tl e. amendment. Mr. Branch said a ft w words. The question being then taken on l!:a amendment, it was decided in the afrjnna5tive. In the following vote: YEAS. Messrs. Berrien, Branch, Chandler, Cobb, Dickerson, Eat'n, Ellis, Foot, Haynes, King, McKinley, HKIiune, Macon, Parri, Ridgley, Rowan, Snfe.d, Smith, of S C.
