It ia for tbla parpooa, sir, that I uk tbo

Indulgence of tbo House for a few moments. I trnst tbat I may aak tbla favor without being considered obtrusive, iff or

I am awara that

Tbla la a bt?l granting tba right of way, and a email portion of the public la ode to aid in the construction of a railroad from Torro-Haute, in tbe Stato of Indiana, to Spring field, In tbe Slate of III!nolo, and similar, In all ita profit ions, to tbo bill passed daring tbe present aeaelou, granting tbe right of way and a portion of the pnbile landa to aid in the conatrnction of a railroad from Hannibal to St, Joseph, in the 8ute of Missouri. It la contended by honorable gentlemen on this floor, thatCongreea haa no constitutional power tbua to dispose of tbo public domain. Tbe friends of this measure, however, contend tbat Congreaa baa tbla

iwar and In support of their opinion, refer to the foiiowIn the Constitution:

"Congress shall have power to dispose of, and make all needful rules and regulationa respecting the territory end olber property belonging to tbe United Scales."

Sir, I am not a lawyer^ emfUSi^cft cTitra fdi^Htyeelf any peculiar qualification to decide upon or lo construe more correctly than another the constitutional law but, looking at thla provision of the Constitution as a plain, practical ^neetlon, I oannot resist the conviction that the power In ongress Is full and ample to dispose of th* public lands in the manner and for the purposes sought by tbla bill.

Within tbo nexl eighteen months that part of this Hits of road will be completed from Philadelphia to Indianapolis between IndianapolU and Tern*Haute tbe road ia lu operation be tween Springfield and Qalncy a great portion of the road Is finished, and the balanoe rapidly progressing towards completion. The grant of lands to the State of Aliwourl made during the present seeston, and to which I have before referred, with the private capital of that rich and enterprls lag State, will at once enable her to construct the road from 'Hannibal to St. Joseph, thereby making thla great chain complete, except that part between Terra-Route and ngfield, a distance of one hundred and twenty-six miles, object of the bill under consideration la to supply this

Bufit^fvontended that the value of the alter nate sections reserved to the Government by the pro vision* of this bill wilt not b« Increased in value. My experience, sir, oompele ma to a ooncluaion directly opposite. In my State about four hundred mile* of railroad have already boon constructed.— The value of real estate immediately contiguous to th*ii roiids, without a single exception* haa been augmented from one to three hundred per oect. and I think I might eafely challenge gentlemen to point me to a single instance where the like result his aot been produced by like cause*. Let me ask them would not this principle apply with pecu* liar force to the oast tinder consideration! These lands are as rich and ftrtito as an upon which the sun shines but situated as they are—forming a part of an extensive plsin, reroute from timber, Motto and other materials for inclosing, building, and other purposes—it la unreasonable to suppose that they be purchased while millions of aores of lands, equally rich and fertile, possessing all those advantages can bo

bought at the same price. But

assure to the purchaser of theie lands a ft of accent and ipoedj coramuuication with markets, ant) can assureyou, sir, that no lands {ft the western world will beeought after with greater avidity. These, air* are some of the beneficial effects to ho produced by tho passage of this bill. do not axeggerate or over-estimate them. 1 apeak from a full knowledge of the facts, acquired by a life spent in the west and he who doubt* tho troth of my conclusion knows but Utile of western people, and the effects of soch improveiaottts op* on wfcetero lands.

roads with the lakes of theNorth. By the completion of this road a communication and trad* hith erto unknown wilt be opened between these distant regions, binding them together etiS mors closely by the ties of interest, and promoting the common welfare of ell. Nature, sir. has marked this as the great overland line of travel from the east to the west. Let me ask gentlemet, il this be not sufficient to stamp it as a work somewhat nation*! in its character?

The bill is objected to because the lands sought to be appropriated lie within the State of Illinois, that State having heretofore been liberally provided for. Trae, sir, these lands are all within the borders of Illinois there is not so acre of them within the State of Indiana. She received a few years since, one million six hundred and nine thousand acres of land, to aid her in extending the Wabash and Erie canal to the Ohio river. I am proud on this ocoasion, as one of her Representative*, to express the gratitude she feels for that munificent grant, every acre of which was faithfully applied to its legitimate purposes. And more air that canal will be completed daring the present year, and the waters of the lakes will mingle with those of tbe Ohio. But air. is this objection well taken?— The advantages of this gram will not enure to thp exclusive benefit of iUipoi*. She does not come here pressing this bill, Missouri. Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other Slates, have quite'as deep an interest let the suedes* of the measure as Illinois.

Now, if the tile&aQre be rlght snd just, If the genera] Interest of the country Is to be advanbedi will gentlemen give It their opposition'on tbe ground alone that the interest of llliooia too Is to be promoted by its success? Apia, sir, tbe Ohio and Mississippi rivers are national in their character. Wilt gentlemen oppose appropriations of the public money for the Improvement of these rivers, becanse thereby the Interest of the States contiguous to them may be advanced in a greater ratio than the thore remote States of tbe Union? I trust not. If, by the passage of this bill, sir, a link shall be added to a chain of great national com* mnnleatlon, If Its own merite commend It to the favorable consideration of tbe Houee, I would entreat gentlemen to support it as a measure for the good of tbo common country.

Mr. Speaker, I have listened with pain to the sectional turn gentlemen have, in the course of debate, attempted to give these railroad propositions'. I have heard with regret the terms "Western interests," "Weatern rapacity," "Westernland piracy,' pplied to them. 1 cannot con&ent to pass them in silence would be unworthy of a seat in this all if I did so. These remarks are gratuitous and out of place they come with an ill grace from gentlemen whose States have shared so largely in the bounty of the Government, for constructing harbors, light-houses, break waters, and other impoitont nation*! improvements, out of moneys, too, paid into the Common Treasury by the Western Western and Southwestern States as a tribute for the priviledge of settling, subdueirig. and bringing under cultivation the Western wilds. In all these appropriations, the West has been governed by a generous and liberal policy. No charge that the publio interest had been retarded by the advancement of sectiortai interests has ever been heard from her Representatives on thii floor, to my knowledge, nor wiii it aver he unless it be in seU'-tlefenco

Now sir, let rne tell gentleman that if this:.«ygtem: of'debate t* to bo p^rsiited in. if Wesicfjo#wroyemaiitt and AVastern m&.>s-ires are to ko' (.jtpos:

Sir, i«i«pbie sectional wsuos of every aro a common •bforherhood.-:se*ki«»|ribe setnehigh destiny. No great treasure of public policy c«m be adopted by this Government affeciing the inter est* of one section, eiiher for weal or for wo, with out at the same time, to some ester.r, affecting the interests of the reel. Were I, sir, to seek motto giving full expression to the sentiment* of my own heart it would be *The North, the i^outh, the East the West, and the Centre one and inseparable, now and forever.'

I have doubtless manlfesred soma feeling and anxiety for the passage of this, but am unuonctous of being governed by local of selfish considers tiona.

I desire, in conclusion, sir, to address a few words to thoee gentlemen who supported the Han tubal and St. Joseph railroad bill. That work will be almost valueless without the connection which will be provided for tbe passage of ibis bill. It can not exist without it. It is the Eastern trade and* Eastern travel which is to sustsin it, Such wfre the views tsken by the Uonorble gentlemen from Missouri. [Mr. Hall] in hts able speech delivered in this tloose during the present session. Such, sir are my views, and such must inevitable be the conclusion of every gentleman who will calmly and dispassionately investigate the subject.

Gentlemen seem at a loss to understand why it is that tho new States have in eo abort ti period, from a mere handful of hardy pioneers scattered over a vast unbroken t|od primitive wilderness, be com* populous, wealthy and powerful, and iu seeking for a solution of the problem, have, no doubt honestly arrived at the conclusion that this wonderful spectacle is the result of favor* bestow ed upon them by the Government. The conclu sion ts erroneous. |Woto it possible for these gen tlemen to go with me tho West I would give them a practical answer. Sir I would p»nt them to tbe prairie and the forrest to the rich and fettle soil: to the exhausiles* mineral resources,* to the bound leas fields of grain 'to the beautiful rivers to the millions of intelligent, enterprising, and industrious people, who have inherited the indomitable energy and patient endurance of their lather* of New England, tho chmirous daring of their ancestry in the sunny South, with the honesty and integrity of results

There Head in a certain neighborhood not far distant from here* a roysieving rowdy bally named Jim Blander. Jim was 'sum* in a fight, a kind pugilistic Napoleon. Many and bloody were the, affairs he had in his life time. and as invariably came off*first-best. Jim not only considered himself invulnerable, but all the fighting characters in the surrotrading eountry conceded Jt was no «se ing Jim, as he was considered to be a patent threshing machine, that could not be improved on. In Jim's neighborhood there bad settled quite a number of Quakers. Prom some cause or other, Jim haled the 'shad-belliee,' as he called them with his entire heart he often declared, that whip one of these inoffensive people would be the crowning glory of his life. For years Jim waited for a pretext. One of Jim's chums overheard oung* Quaker speak in disparaging terms of him he report soon came to Jim's ears, not a little magnified. Jim made desperate threats, what he was going to do whb Nathan, the meek follower of Peon, on sight—besides the various bruises and contusions ne meant to inflict on Nathan's body in his chaste language, he meant to gouge out his and draw off both his ears.

Nathan heard of Jim's threata. andTprop kept out. of his way, hoping that time would modify his anger. It seems, however, this mu ch-to-be-desired result did not take place. 'One day friend Nathan was nut riding, and passing through a long lane, when about niidwsy, he espied Jim entering

tbe other end. Nathan might have turned and but his flesh rebelled at his retreating. I will pursue my way peaceably.* said the Quaker, 'and I "hope the better sense of the man of wrath will not permit him to molert me, or allow him to do violence on my person.' ^1

Nathan's calculations, as to the laniB-Tifce qualities of his adversary, were doomed to be disap* pointed. •Oli, hoi* thought the bully, as he recognised Nathan*

have him at lasu Now I'll make

mince meat of shad-belly I 1 will salt bim and pickle htm tool* 'Wilt thou please dismount from thy horset' said Jim, seizing the bridle of Nathan's horse, and mimicking his style my heart yearneth above all things to give you the biggest mauling ever a man received.' 'Friend James,' replied Nathan, 'thou must not molfst me, but let me go my way in peace. Thy better judgment will surely tell thee that thou can* not possibly be benefitted by personally injuring me.' 'Get down in a moment!' thundered Jim 'get down, you canting, lying, mischief-making, cowardly hypocrite. I'll drag you down if you don't dismount.'

Friend James, I remonatrsto against thy proceeding and against thy language,' replied Nathan. '.My religion teaches me sincerity. I am neither a liar, mischief-maker or a hypocrite I desire to pursue my way quietly—let me pttss on.' ?Get down,'..persisted. Jim. 'down *ith you—I watft to beat soifi.e of your religion out of you—1 must give you a flogging before I leave you. I think by tho time I Am through with you you will pass for a totora!ly honest man. 1 will teach you, bhort an easy tesstm tftrlmporUtic* of mfridjtyg and the ris^t in slan t'urfo iu*M. "1 wtll not iiisnxnjtit,' said Natnau 'looaexi, uoH,fi,oftlthe briillel* *You won't won't ymj?' aVid Jim,'then here fpesl* and he made a desperate lunge to collar the Quaker.

Nathan was on his fe^i in an,instant on tha opposite side of tho horse* The Quaker, ahhongh of much smaller proportions than his prosecutor, was all sinew and muscle, and his well-knit form denoted both activity and strength* IIis wrath was evidently .enkindled. ,h 'Friend James.' he implored, 'thy pertinacious persistence in prosecuting me is exceedingly annoying thou must desist, or preadventure I may so far forget myself as to do thee some bodily harm.' .. 'By snakes!' said Jfim, coming toward Nathan, 't believe there is fight enough in Broadriin to make the affair interesting. 1 wish some, of the boys was here to see the fun. »Now,' continued Jim. 'friend Nathan I am going to knock o(T tho end of your-noso—joolt otul* .-a# ka» ,c(* I

Suiting the action to to the word, Jim, alter va rious pugilistic gyrations of his fists, made a scien tifio blow at the nasal formation of our Quaker friend, hut Tom Hyer could not more scientifically have warded itoff« Jim was evidently disconcert* ed at the ill success of his first attempt—he aaw he had undertaken quite as much as he was likely to accomplish, lie however straighened himself out, and approached Nathan more cautiously. The ootitest began again, Nathan stood hie ground firmly, and skillfully warded ofT the shower of blows which Jimaiined athtor 'Friend James.' sail Nathan iel th* heat of the contest,'this la mere child's play ft grieves me that that thou hast forced me into resistance, but I must defend myself from bodily harm. I see taer* is but one way of bringing this acaadelous and wicked affair to a close, and that la by conquering thee. In order to do this I will infitct a heavy blow Wtween lhlne eyes, which will prostrate the*.*

Following «nt tho suggestion, Nathan ttruok Jim tremMidous blow on the forehead, which broughthiin*enso!ess to the ground.

Now,'said Nathan,* I will teach tboo lesson, and hope it will be a wholesome lesson too. I will seat myself a-straddie of thy breast--! wVU plaee my knees upon thy arms thus, so that thou cannot injure me when thou reiuraeats to conotou** ness. I hope I may be the humble instrument of laming thy fierce and warikle nature and making a better and mote peaceable man of thee.*

A* the Quakerconcluded, Jim began to dhow some returning signs of life. The first hnpal** of Jim, when be jairiy his eendiHoo, to turn Nathan ojGT. He struggled desperately, but he was in a vice—his efforts were unavailing. 'Friend, thee must keep Mill omQ am doth with thee,' said Nathan.

Thou said, but just now,' confioued "be, *Ihat TWAi a canting, lying, cowardly, mischief-making hypocrite,*** fhou wronged rae in asserting those things, and slandered my persuasion. £)ost thou recall those assertion*!' •Yea,' replied Jim *1 do now—let mo up.* *1 am not done with thee yet,' said Nathan 'thou has been a disturber of the peace of this neighbor* hood, time out of mtud—thy hand has been raised sgainst every man—thou art abrawter. Wilt thou ptpmise me that in future thee will lead a more peaoable life, that thou wilt love thy neighbor as thyself!'

Yes,' answered Jim, unhesitatingly,'all hut tbe Quakers.' 'Thou must make no exceptions,' replied Nathan 'l insist on an affirmative answer.' •If 1 say yes to tbat—I'll die first.'

A struggle now ensued between the two, but Jim had his match. *Thou must yield James,'said Nathan, I insist on it,' and he again grasped Jim by the throat. *1 will choke thee into submission thou must answer affirmatively: say after me, '1 promise to love my neighbor as myself, including the Quakers.' •1 won't promise that,' replied Jim *1*11 be cursed if I do.» -t„, •I will check thy respiration if thou don't,' replied Naitian. 'Willthou yield!'

No, I won't I'll be bfasted if I do,' answered Jim. *'SM Thee'had better give in,' replied Nathan will choke thee again if thee does not see my grip tightens,'

And Nathan did compress bis grip, and the choking process again went on^ Jim!* face first became distorted, then purple—his tongue lolled out, and his eyes protruded from their .sockets—his body writhing like a dying man's. Nathan per sistftdin holding his grip until Jim beoame entirely passive, then tie relaxed his hold. Jim .was slow in recovering his speech and his senses when he did, I to begged NjUhuofor mercy's jaka urease his hold- .• 'When thee will make the promise I exact from thee, but no sooner,' replied "Nathatt.

Jim^aw he was powerless, and that the Quaker was resolute. He fell that it was no use to persist in his stubbornness. ... :lt, '1 will give in,' he replied, 'I promise to love my neighbor as myself.' •Including the Quakers,' insinuated Nathan!*^* •Yes, including the Quakers,' replied Jim. "Thou mavest arise, then, friend James, answered Nathan, 'and 1 trust that the lesson thou hast lesrned to-day, will make a more peacable citizen of thee, and 1 hope, a better man,' •&•}

Poor Jim was entirely humbled he left, the field with his spirits completely cowed. Not long after this occurrence the story becsme bruited about.— This was more than Jim could bear. He soon after left ibe soene of his many triumphs and his late disastrous defeat., and emigrated to tha'Far West.' The last I heard of him he was making preparations for another move. Being pressed for his reasons why he again emigrated, lie said that a colony of Quakers were about moving into his neighborhood, lfe was under many obligations to love them but he was of an opinion that distance apuld lend strength to his attachment. ...

Between tho two cousin* nothing like social intercourse had for a long tim* existed, ttaver r*oog« nixing each other with anything more friendly than a cool courteay and the widow Sally was conscious of being an object of envy and close observation with her censorious cousin any little tale to her discredit being always laboriously circulated by that amiable relative.

About the time in which occurred the incident we are about narrating, politics raged fierce, and men's minds were busily occupied in their consideration. Just after election, a 'whig supper' was held in the county town, which thedoctor attended, participating freely in the festivities of the occasion.

Though usually of a reserved turn, and naturally taciturn, it was observed that on this occasion his spirits were unusually buoyant, and his conversation free and animated. The sitting was a protracted one, and not till well among the small hours, did the dootor order his gig.

Having made a friendly call upon sally during his ride in the afternoon, it ooourred to him that it would be no more than fair to calt on Mehitable on the way home, whloh he accordingly did, though at the expense of some additional traveliiftli^t

Arriving at &* door, the Dr. cautiously tied his horse, and gave a very portentous knock at the door.

A few moments elapsed, when up wont a window, and out came a night-cap, with a head in it. •Wiio's there?' •Oh, is thst you widow! it's Williamson, the doctor, I want to see you a minute.'

Why, mercy sake, is that you doctor! why, what—where—eh 1-—who—w-ww-what is the matter! I'll be down directly.'

The widow's 'help', was aroused, and a Are hastily made, the lady attiring herself hsstily, in the most becoming garments at hand—and at length the door was opened. 'Why, doctor, do walk in! Why, 1* any on* dead!' •No, n-not that I'm aware of, but—
