' I Is the construction of this projected ca-

better navigation, as to induce an entire lS.SO 00: change in the course of legislation on this 'subject -10.S J1 12 i There rroun1-i are still less tenable than

the main ones just considered, and need but a cursory glance to a t i f v anv tinprejn lie 'd mind that the reverse is true. The surveys of the river 10 procure a permanent low-water navigation, even oi a greater depth than is practicable on the Ohio, would not esveed SG00.U00. The expense of tho cq'npleuon of this canal project, according to their own showing, (sen Setiate i)e. Xo. 78. of the present session. is orer r?2.' OO.OOo, vtthout allowing enything for the loss on the par tially finished work ; showing 'he cost of construction of the canal to be more than th.ree times t'.iat of the improvement of the river. Neither would the canal furnish a more constant, better, or cheaper navigation, nor accommodate so great an interest. I. In the same latitude, eve:; wkhotit allowing for loss of true necessary annually to repair canals, rivers aro much longer navigable. XJ. For the travelling community, a canal is ill adapted, when compared with river navigation, in point of speed, expense and comfort. 3. No mode f transportation can be deh'ised for th heavy freights of the Wect, o cheap as that by steamboat and flatboitt navigation. The early spring trade is most desi rable for the farmers of the U abash valley, as well as f r the planters of the south. The cand would not be op-n so eariy in the spring as the river. 5. The river, in a local p unt of view, would be more extensively useful. The canal has no tributaries. The Wr.bash has more than 2.000 miles of tributat ies navigable certain pot. ions of the year, ali of which wcuhi be benefitted by the improvement of the main chann I. That 11 tiie whole valley of the Wabash (including say two-thirds of Indiana, and onethird of Illinois) is deeply interested in the river, while only a small portion of Indiana is interested in the completion of the cana,. 0;:e of the inducements for the General Government to make th- ir grants of lan Is, ilia? always been the beneficial effect the 1 contemplated improvement would have up :n the value of the residue. In case of 1 this canal project, the memorialists ask for the whole lands in thtj Vincennes land district over 1,GOO,000 acres; and the Senate bill grants 800,100 acres, which would deprive Cmgress of this motive. As to the comparative practical ility. a the estimates of the engineers, the com mittce are inclined tn favor of the Wabash as th surveys have been by several en guiecrs, ail concurring in the same result. and recommending and furnishing estim :at'9 of improvements that have prove. successful upon otner rivers. I houirii 1 1 ro. , the canal may be practicable at the estim-ale-u expense, me committee cannot out 1 . t t view it as rather experimental the supt ! v i :i ' of a can a I I he distance of Oil miles with one feeder in so arid a climate an that, too, through a light s mdv soil for a considerable portion of the route. Hut of this the committee feel well assured, that the amount of lands fixed in the Senate hill would not by anv means be sufficient t- complete me canal ; and the bo 11 ate committee appeared to have doubt9 on the subject, a ttiev intimate, in case of insuf sa fi -iency, that Congress would undoubtdiy ltsten to any future application.' Indeed, your committee have serious doubts whether the whole lauds in the district would yield the requisite amount for near forty years, turough many periods of great prosperity. The. sales of the lasr four years were only to the following amount: In 1840 45.71 acres. In IS 11 24.510 ' In 1S42 15.31 In 184J 17.183 Averaging only about 23,000 acres per annum, with the yearly prospect of a firtlker decline, as the lands are more and more culled. Wdien it is considered, too. that there will probably, in a short period, be a law graduating the price of the public lands according to the tt:ri3 they may have been in market to which end. even at this time, there is a bill from ihe committee on Public Lands, now before the House, that would reduce these lands to 25 ctnts per acre it will be perceived hat the grant would be entirely inadequatfor the purpose intended; thet the whole

would not produce one-fifth of tho estimate. To be sure, it ii:ny bo said that the State is not limited in the price she may demsnd for ihe lanJs, according to

i in? nap 'ill. iSii'l. the committee con ceive that this will make r.o difference. n-'smueh as xt-,s lands would rt-dticed ui the ndjoimror district ii, :he sr,m- ratio; and the cff ct of hohhnp thepc lands lii-jrn-h. , would be en v to prevent H.cir sale. and s-'fop emigration into the uistrict. ouch injustice to the people of this distr:rt. (hut a small poi, on of whom would be in anywi,- bi-nr'hed by th iniproven.n;.) Cotir;ess, to whom the disposal of the public lands is confided, would be recrfanl to its duty if it tdiou'i i pu' it into ihe power of any State to indict. The advaiitao- s of n rednction of the price of the public lands should be extended to thearly pioneers and honest farmers of this iand district, as well as to those of any other. When the pre-emptioner, or honest hard-working farmer, is required to pay some two or throe times the price his neighbors are paying in an adjoining district for his forty acre tract, to -make him a home for his wile and children, or to add to his little im nrovement. would he not 1 have creat cause of complaint against his country for us partiality ? When Congressmen shall tell him that thev are not to be censured that they had onlv transferred him over to the tender mercies of hi-- own State could he not justlv retort. ' I relied upon the good faith of the General Government, and not upon the charity of the Stare V The State having rui means or credit to ai l in the matter, and as nearly the whole hne would have to be finished before any portion wt.uld be available, would it not be enlirelv impr&ei ioable. to complete the work with the dooi.nou asked, arid thus. upon this ground alone, render the proposed legislation f.n unwi?e and useless disposal of the public domain ? It has been urged that some portion of these canals the Cross cut and Central canals have been finished, or partially so; and that they will soon go to destruction, as the State, from her pecuniary embarrassments, is unable to prosecute the work unless aidt-d bv the United Sta es. This is worse than assumption of Stat' debts ; for the same argument would apply to all the unfinished projected improvements engendered by the mad schemers and speculators of JS3G '7 in every portion of the Union. Another reason the committee deem mure objectionable than any of the pre ceding, ha been strongly urj-id for this grant that it .would enable the State of Indiana to pay her debt, or aid her in doing so. How can this be done ? By selling the lands directly lor that purpose I No; this would be contrary to the terms of the trrant. It is presumed those who urge this, intend, if in earnest, that the debt is to be paid by tolls upon the canal when completed. In other words, that the com mercc ot toe people ot the great vatley 01 the Wabaso of Indiana and Illinois, and of such other States as might lind it necessary, in consequence uf tbe abandonment of the Wabash, at certain spasons to seek this artificial channel of trnd3 is to be taxcd to pay the dt'ut of In Liana, and that Lonress is to lurnisu the means to enable her to do it. For this, tiie nolle river Wabash is to have the protecting care, of the Government withdrawn, and be stricken out of thai great national thoroughfare connectni the waters of the lakes and the Mis-s:-sippi; of whi h, from ihe ordinance of

ItS'j to ihe present lime, it had been re-!& cognised as a necessary and prominent pari, by ail national and State legislation. . , , I he commute cannot conceive thai the

wonhy citizens of Indiana would for a moment, if they properly understood the subject, harbor such a thought. Doubtless, they would feel and act more justly towards their neighbors. None but thoso deeply interested in speculations, and who, upon the location of these canals, had s-ei.ed upon id I the town sues and the thousands of acre3 of land then unentered along the line., would desire to deprive the Stale of Illinois of her common interest in this thoroughfare, that had been guarantied to her by all former legislation, and then to tax ihe commerce of her citizens to pay toe dbt of their own Slate. 'I 'ho committee, in tiie foregoing inveslioation. among other things, have ascertained that, in all former legislation, both national and Slate, the Wabash has been adopted and recognised as a necessary and prominent part of the great national i:toroiiijhfare between the lakes and the Ohio; and ih.U the faith of the General Govern-1 ment, nd Mat 01 Indiana auu Illinois, are either directly or indnectly pledged so to continue it, unless it sliomd be inaue learly to appear that it will answer tlie purpose of lbs government or ol commerce Further, that the committee have been fully satisfied that the Cross-cut ami Cen tral canals have no claim to national bounty, er.cept they be adopted as part of that thorouijnfare from the lakes, as a substitute for the Wabash ; lurther, that, so far from there being any reasonable grounds to make this change in this thoroughfare, there are mmy and unanswerable objections arjain-jt it: wiierefore the committee have been eonstiained to come to the con clusion that the prayer of the memorialists oogriit not to be uranteti. ana mat me grant in the Senate hillotitOit not to be made. The Guinea Hen. or Pintado, was first introduced into Europe, about three centuries ago. It is a native of Africa, and its flesh and many of its habits are similar to the pheasant.
