Siri As a portion of my colleagues have addrcssed you to effect a change of the newspapers selected in Indiana, to

convey

information of the

acts of Cougress to the people, and as my constituents are interested in common, I claim the liberty to submit a few remarks. Vincennes, Indianapolis and Lawrencehurgh,Vere tbe points approved last sessions and err iu toy judgement if a glance at tbe map, and a knowledge t«f tbe settlements and mail routes, do not show, that the legitimate object is not to be attained in a greater degreet by any possible^ change this time.

Vincennes, a former seat of the Territorial Government, is tbe oldest, and is certainly one of tbe largest commercial towns in the State it is in my district, whieh twmmediate on the Wabash. The district of Mr. iJoOmis south,the district of Mr. Hannegan is north, and as only one paper will be appointed in the three districts, you can, with superior facilities of mail routes enjoyed at Vincennes, readily see tbe propriety, of the location to distribute a knowledge of the laws. The

Western Sur.,' tbe oldest newspaper

in that or the adjoining States* has been the choice of the department. If a change be now determined on, I beg leave most respectfully to present for your approval, one of the other newspapers printed in my district, which being central, is I conceive, the best situated. At Vincennes, Knox county, there are two newspapers —the4JFetteM Sun,' already adverted to, published by E. Stout, and the Vineennet Gazette edited and published by Mr. R. Y. Caddington at Terre Haute, a large commercial town in Vigo, there is a paper of extensive circulation, called the

Wabash Courier, edited and published

by Mr. Thomas Dowling at Bedford, Lawrence county,

The Spy,1 edited and published by Mr. Allen at Greencastle, Putnam county

Plough Boyf edited and published by John W. Osborn. The population of my district is upwards of sixty thousand souls. At Vincennes the greut Western mail from Louisville, crosses the Wabash at Terre Haute tbe National Road crofse* that river these are towns of extensive intercourse, and an eastern mail nrrives at each three times per week. This much I can vouch for, without any avoidable disparagement of other points which have been recommended by some of my colleagues. I will only add, that I hope your views may accord with mine and it will afford me pleasure to communicate your decision.

A^ turre meeting was held at New Orleans on Dsc. 13th, to take into consideration the slanderous language jaid to have beea used by the Rev. Mr. Parker of that citv, while recently on a visit to Connecticut. The obnoxious expressions in question were, that theCathvlics in New Orleans were atheists, and the Protestants little better. Notwithstanding the extreme .excitement, the meeting patiently listened to Mr. Parker's speech in his defence. It was deemed insufficient to exculpate hini, and resolutions were passed declaring his residence in New Orleans dangerous to the peace of the city, and detiring He elders of the Presbyterian church, of which he is pastoi, to,request him .to leave the place.

EXECUTIVE PATRONAGE ,u,,l

It will be seen that a Committee upon thia subject consisting of Messrs. Calhoun, Bibb, Benton, King, of Georgia, Southard and Webster, has been raised in the Senate, on Mr. Calhoun's motien. The questions involved in the reference, the ability and poliucal relations of the committee, jostify the public to expect an able report aad important results. That the Executive patronage has incieased, is increasing, and should be dimiaisbad, will not be denied—and if this committeeshail be so fortunate as to devise the means of arresting the dangers be/bte us, they will deserve the lasting gratitude of the country. 5gg35S==B,3 J{?»

Twenty-Third Congress

SECOND SESSION.

IN SEJNATE—.JAN. 6.

IMPFOVEMBNT OP TUB WABASH. The bill for the improvement of the Wabash river was taken np and read a-third time. On the question of its passage,

Mr. CLAY said, that he could not allow the question to be put, without a passing notice of tbe principles contained in the message of the President, returning the bill passed at the last session for the improvement of the abash. He hoped this bill would pass, and experience from the President a kinder fate than the bill of the last session..

According to the President, the Constitution does not authorise, or at least ought to be practically limited,to those improvements in our navigable waters which are calculated to advance the interests of our foreign commerce. He thinks no improvement ought to be mndo above the highest port of entry. If this be the trus menning of the Constitution, our powers do not depend npon the terms or grants of the instrument itself, but upon our previous exercise of another power, on a collateral subject. The effect would be to make the Constitution a floating machine, impelled not by itself, but by the will of Congress exercised in the, establishment of ports of w,1} tHfih 1 entry.

And what would be tlie effect of this interpretation or execution of the Constitution, upon the interests ef the interior of. the country by far the greatest portion of it? Ihe great interior of the country, would be repudiated, cut off, from all the benefits of the Coustitution in one of its most beneficent provisions. Our internal commerce—the commerce bjetwertr the different States would be stript of all advantages from the exercise of a power, with it is impossible to show does not equally comprehend that, with our foreign commerce. We should apply the power, generally, below tide-water, for ports of entry are generully confined to .tide-

l«rr-We. *i— -4J not fiJcntiallj nccessary and wo should refuse it where its exercise is demanded for the comfort and fconvenience of the People fn the transportation of the products of their industry.

Against such a limited, partial, unequal, and unjust execution of the Constitution o£the United States, I enter my protest in the most SQlemii form in which it can be made. It is impossible that tbe People of this country can ever consent to such a construction of it. It is impossible that they can ever be satisfied with an arbitrary rule, presented too not by the Legislative authority, but put forward by Executive will. He had risen for the sole purpose of entering his protest he should vote with pleasure for the bill.

The question was then taken on the passage of the bill, by yeas and nays, as follows: YEAS—Messrs. Benton, Clay, Clayton, Ewing, Frelinghuysen, Hendricks, Kane, Kent, Knight, Linn, McKean, Naudain, Porter, Prentiss, Robbins, Robinson, Silsbee, Smith, Southard, Swift, Tipton, Torolinson, Webster—23.

NAYS—Messrs. Bibb, Black, Buchanan, Calhoun, Grundy, Hill, King, of Alahama, King, of Georgia, Leigh, Mangum, Moore, Morris, Preston, Shepley, Tallmadge, Tyler,White—17.

Resolved, That the Committee on-Roafls aftd Canals be instructed to inquire into the expediency ot granting a suitable quantity of unsold and unappropriated land to the State of Indiana, to be by her disposed of at a price not below that of the public lands and the proceeds to be invested in stock of tbe Evansville and Lafayette rail road, whieh is contemplated to connect the Wabash and Erie Canal with the Ohio river at that town. Also, into the expediency of granting, in like manner, a suitable quantity of public land, to construct a rail road or a canal, from New Albany on the Ohio, near Louisville, through Bedford, Lawrence county, and Greencastle, Putnam county,"to tbe Wabash river, near the junction of the Wabash and Erie canal. Also, into the expediency of granting in like manner, a suitable quantity of public

and its two branches, from tbe Wabash river to the points declared navigable by law of thnt State.]

On motion of Mr. KINNARD, it was Resolved, That the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to inquire into the expediency of making an appropriation on the Cumberland Road, in the State of Indiana, and of allowing the Superintendent of said Road in tbe States of Indiana and Illinois, a per centage on the amount of money disbursed bj him.

On motion of Mr. EWING, ^Resolved, Tbat the President of the V.

The original resolution was then agreed to.

In the House of Representatives, vestm'ay, Mr Thompson, from the select cammittce to which was committed the bill providing for the Wabash and Erie Canal and other works of internal improvement, reported the same to the House with several amendments. The principal amendments proposed were to stop the surveys and estimates of the Wabash andErie Canal at Covington, to pledge the Slate for tbe commencement and completion of 0|e White river Canal, and to appropriate $100,000 to aid in making a turnpike from Crawfordsville, through Greencastle, Bloomington, and Bedford, to Salem.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS^

The committee on canals and internal improvements yesterday made a report of some, length, of which we only heaid a pail, and hare not been able, to obtain a perusal: It recommends the crossing of the Wabash by the Wabash and Eiie Canal at Ballaird's bluft, and itja extention down the south side of the river—recommends an early commencement ofthe V\Uite watei Canal—and recommends a survev along the White liver valley with a view of constructing a canal. The committee enter into comparison of the advantages and cost of canals and rail ways, and concludes by tne introduction of a bill, providing for carrying into effect the recommendations
