0Wihe bill making Wabash and Erie^ Canal Srip west of Lafayette receivable in paywent of Whbash and Erie^mljwid east of the Tippecanoe, fa

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. •*. 1 '"i jAKVAtt 87-28,11843: Mr. Coffin said Ti was a mistaken notion to suppose, that, if the late emission of Wabash and Eric canal scrip was made receiyaWe in payment of the principal and interest of the lands sold to nid in constructing the canal between Lafayette and the Ohio line, we Uicreby, in effect, taxed the State, he friends of thecnnal south of that point asked no such favor of the Legislature. Tlvey hare no fears but that the last grant of lands will be amply sufficient to complete the canal between Lafayette and Terre Haute but owing to the depressed state of the times, and the extraordinary scarcity of par funds they find it impossible at this time, to force these lands'into market, at the prices fixed upon them by the legislature, or, indeed at almost any price. They sincerely believe the lands are intrirwically worth every cent of the price at which they have, according to quality, been graduated and that the tardiness of their sale,at present, is not so much attributable to the exorbitant estimate placed upon fhem, as to the scarcity of a circulating medium. At the price fixed upon, they will not only complete the cnnnl, but there wiJI ba left, otter doing so, a surplus of upwards of 1100,000, according to the calculation of the able Engineer, chnrced with making the estimate of the cost of the work. The great difficulty, s:r, which exists, and which this bill is intended to obviato, is this: The last grnnt of lands have but recently come into market they have not been sold in sufficient quantities to absorb the scrip and the people, being in debt, cannot afford to take the scrip, invest it in those lands, and lie out of the immediate use of the funds. The great mass of the people, unfortunately, are in debt, and want something that they enn pay their debts with. The lands donated by Congress are the finest in the State, and, in ordinary times, would be sought for with great avidity, by the prudent and thrifty, as the best investment that could possibly bo made for tho benefit of their children.

The f«cts,sir,connccted with the lands east of the Tippecanoe are very different. They were sold when money was plenty, and the times wore good and, sir, honorable gentlemen in this House from the Upper Wabash, who think (to opposing this bill,) that they nre legislating for Buncombe, should recollect that thousands of their constituents are still indebted for the deferred payments on these lands, and that, if some measure of relief be not speedily adopted, hundreds of thorn will be compelled to forfeit or relinquish their farms and their homes.

The scrip issued for the construction of their section of the canal is, if I am rightly informed, principally in the hands of a few wealthy men, and every thing calculated to oppreciote and keep up its relative value, has tendency to put money in their

Sinal,

pockets,

nnd increase, four-fold, the difficulties of the purchasers of the Wabash and Erie Canal lands east. The course of gentlemen from the Upper Wabash counties upon this subject is unaccountable in the extreme and I can only impute it to the example of the gentleman from Carroll, who acts as the partisan of one portion

of his constituents, seemingly

regardless of the interests of the

other.

he been feed by the few capitalists who hold the scrip, he could not have acted with more zoal in their behalf whilst those of his constituents, who owe for Wabash and Erie canal lands,seem to have no share in his generous sympathies for tho distressed. What a contrast, in this respect, do some

Had

of those up

per Wabash men present to the liberal and high-minded course pursued by tho honorable Speaker and other representatives from remote sections of the State? The former act like the old lady who was in the habit of borrowing a kettle from her neighbors, but having at length got one of her own,

she declar

ed that she would thenceforward, neither lend nor borrow! Having got their own ends served, they seem not to have expansion of mind Enough to know that the welfare of those living a little below them, down stream, is by no means incompatible with their own! The more people interested in and benefitted by a canal, the better it is for the parts us well as for the wholo and in fuct, the feeling of envy is alien to every patriotic and gonerous breast. We have, sir, passed a bill making State Scrip receivable for certain college, school, and othor fun's, thereby enabling those who borrowed from them in good par money, to pav their indebtedness in a depreciated medium, or, in offect, making a large deduction from tho aggregate of their indebtedness. Why, then, sir, adhere, with so much tenacity, to the very letter or tho bond, so fur as the purchasers of Wabash and Erie canal lands, east, are concerned? such conduct consistent with gentlemen's ideas of "relief" —with their notions of strict and impartial justice? Are men who have purchased lands at high 'prices, less entitled to our sympathies than those who have borrowed of tho trust funds in good money at the usual rates? The policy which prompts Representatives ftom tho Uppor Wabash to point to the left after the construction of their portion of the canalt as a legitimate fund to fiuish the Madison

id Indianapolis Rail road, the White-water &c., in order to excite the Representatives of those interests to array themselves ago inst the extension of their own great work to Terre-Haute, I leave to the unbiassed judgments of their own constituents. If they can recognise in it, either patriotism or wisdom, I envy not their foresight or their intelligence.

TUey seem to act upon the narrow minded policy that the value of a canal is just in proportion to its shortness, and that every inch a

WOrS

kternul improvement is extended be

yondtheir own narrow limits, is its value and benefit to them lessened or destroyed! They evcu go further, sir, and **m to think, (as evinced the arguments.) that their people are more interested in making canals, on the White water, and in digging railroads throagh the hilts of Jeflbrson county, than in continuing and completing their

own

great canal to

Terre-Haute, through one of the moat fertile regions of country in the orld I And, air, lot mo say further, that 1 have noticed in this debate more narrow and contracted prejudices attempted to be excited as to this bUI, by certain apodal pleading gentlemen from the Wabash, than by the Reproeantatires from any other portions of the State* The truth is, sir, the people of the Upper Wabash are ijMtrly as much interested the speedy completion of this canal as those residing ia the -1 iR

immediate vicinity of the work for the profits of such a work, (the narrow notions of special pleaders, to the contrary notwithstanding.) must be exactly in proportion to its length, provided it runs (as this canal does*) through a rich, fertile, densely populated and highly cujtivated country. When completed to Terre-Haute, I have no doubt, sir, its businessand productiveness will be increased four-fold. No one, I presume, will contend that it is not to the interest of the State that the Canal should bo completed to TerreIIaute nor that, (according to the terms of the donation of lands by Congress to aid in its completion,) we are under solemn obligations to finish it by 1847. Such being the case, is there any time to be lost The pdrtton-of1 the canal put under contract last May, was let 825,000 below the estimates of the Engineer and, notwithstanding the depreciation in the scrip, with the aid now asked, the balance of the canal can, I verily believe, (in consequence of the low price of labor and provisions,) be comploted by July 1845, and wiihiti the maximum of prices fixed upon by the Engineer, and without which, (as provided by law) the work cannot of course be let at all. The times, sir, in these respects, are most auspicious for an undertaking of this kind. There are thousands of able bodied men now idle for want of employment, and they will work for any currency, (not too much depreciated,) for tho purpose of investing it in lands for homes for themselves and their families, sooner than remain idle and unemployed.

Place all the* Wabash and Erie canal scrip on a par, and you at once inspire confidence in it whilst at the same time, it cannot in any manner, interfere with the other funds of theStato for, sir, every dollar paid into the State Treasury for lands east of the Tippecanoe, will leave one in its stead for lands purchased out of tho late donation to complete thai portion of the work west of that river.— The bonds for the lands east of the Tippecanoe are not due till 1847. Pass this bill, sir, and the canal will be completed to TerreIIaute by tho 4th of July, 1845 and the same amount of surp'us will be left to the State Treasury in 1847, that would have been had this bill not passed, and I sincerely believe a much larger one. We merely wish to give to the scrip based upon lands granted by Congress, for tho purpose of making this canal, (as soon as possible, all the credit which such a basis must ultimately inspire, and 1, for one, contend that the distinction attempted to be made between the lands east and west of the Tippccanoe, does not exist in reality, or in the nature of the case. It is, sir, an artificial distinction, set up for sinister and selfish purposes, and founded upon a narrow and local view of the question. And, sir, it is a distinction that gives the lie to the pretences set up by our State, as a reason why the General Government should make a further donation of lands, and which, if previously admitted, would have proved fatal to the success of our application for that purpose. In order to obtain tho last grant, what were the arguments used by our State authorities, and Senators and Representatives in Congress? Did they ask a further donation of lands for the purpose of aiding in constructing a new and "distinct" work, or for the purpose of continuing and completing an old one? Did they not base the\r arguments entirely upon the fact, that "Lafayette" could not have meant "to some navigable point on tho Wabash river," specified in the first act of donation but that the phrase must have referred to TerreHaute, or some point still lower down the stream? The lands last donated,so far, then, from being a "distinct" grant, were asked for, and given, expressly to complete an old jotiQ. Why not then give the Scrip issued to complete the ontire canal, all the advantages derivable from the entire grant of lands?

But gentlemen seem to think that the state is robbed, (yes sir,'robbed' is the word,) if they can prove that she has advanced one dollar of her credit towards completing the canal east of Lafayette, over and above the amount received into the State Treasury from the proceeds of tho sales of the lands granted by Congress for that object. Now, sir, I should liko to know upon what principle of e* quity or justice is this pretence set up Did we ask of Congress these lands to complete, or Ho aid in the construction* of this canal

Sir, we neither ashed, nor were the lands granted with the most distant idea that their proceeds would be sufficient to complete this great work. We asked Congress merely to 'aw/' us and not to make the work, the entire work, at the expense of the National Government and we promised, and obligated ourselves, in 1827, to finish the canal in twenty years. This, sir, is one of the principal conditions upon which the grant was made and yet, after oil this, gentlemen wail over *adcances' made by the state to aid in its construction, as if the rich valley of the Wabash, and its trade and commerce, were objects with which tho state government had nothing to do I They seem bent upon throwing its citizens entirely upon the tender mercies of Congress for aid in constructing their lo« cal works of internal improvement and (in cuses whero temporary aid has been rendered) they seem determined to indemnify themselves for what gentlemen call advances* as though the Wabash people were without the pale of state legislation and aliens to the Commonwealth! Now, sir, before gentlemen talk about'advances'and 'robbery' &c. they would do well to look at home. Must the millions expended by the state on the Madison rail-road, the White-water and Central canals, dec. &c. bo also reimbursed by the people living in the vicinity of their repective works? If so, why not adopt speedily measures to 'indemnify' the state for the vast sums expended in their construction

The idea of holding the W. & E. canal responsible to the State for the smalt- overplus advanced for the construction of the eastern portion of the work, is, sir, in my humble opinion, perfectly preposterous and absurd. And yet the whole of the vapid and unmeaning declamation upon this floor, in opposition to this bill is based upon it. Gentlemen were very willing to spotliate upon any fund in the State to elevate the character of our Treasury Notes but when the friends of the com* plctioo of the Wabash and Erie canal—when

were granted for a single object, 'and for,*** other purpose* whatever, viz: to

in completing the canal. [Here Mr. Coffin read from the act of Congress making the grant.] fs there not-, then, more reason" to place all the scrip issued for that purpose on a par, than there was to make the scrip issued for internal improvement purposes receivable for the various trust funds? Is there not as much reason in fuvor of relieving those indebted for canal lands, by the adoption 6f such a measure, as there was for enabling those who borrowed JYom those funds to pay principal and interest with State scrip?

But, sir, independent of all these considerations, it is the interest of the people of Indiana to finish the Wabash and Erie Canal as soon as possible, so that the State Treasury may be replenished by the income from its tolls and water rents an income, which I believe sir, will be nearly amply sufficient to defray the expenses of the State Government. Tf any one doubts the character of the Work, and as to its promises of future profit, let him look to the map of the Union, ffhd trace the course of the canal through the fertilo valley of the Wabash, and mark its connexion with tho Northern Lakes, and the great works of a similar character completed, or nearly so, in Ohio, and New York, and such doubts must immediately vanish like the baseless fabric of a vision, and leave not a wreck behind! And, sir, let me say, it is our duty, our solemn and imperative duty to keep our faith with the General Government, and to spare no expense to finish this work by 1847, the time stipulated for the purpose. But the friends of the Canal do not ask the State to appropriate one dollar for that object, but merely to give the canal scrip an additional credit, until the times get better, by ma» king the recent issue of it receivable for Wabash nnd Erie Canal lands whether east or west of tho Tippecanoe. This will have the effect merely of creating a present demand for the canul scrip, which wilt be ultimately refunded from the sales of the lands last granted by the General Government.

MR. HEARTWELL, who died in New-Orleans about seven years since, left his effects in the hands of a stranger, to be sent to his wifesnd children, who it waB understood lived near Cincinnati. The wife's name was Sarah Heartwell, and the children, Matilda, Polly Anne, Mary Jane, and William,—the latter would be about 18 years of age, if living.

CHINESE BLOOD-PILLS* The greatest Secret discovered! "DURGB—purge—purge—has been the cry for the JT last few years. This has been eflTectually tried, and ret sufferers have mul tiplied—and died and whyf Not because purging was not necessary, but toa much hos been done—without tho tonic to follow, and sustain the system. Purge, you must! The sickly humors of the blood must be carried off—or the accumulation ol them prevented. Prevent, then, the growth of such humors.

Why do the Chinese live to such immense ages, and still retain the powers of youth and middle age? Because they purify tho blood. The Chinese BLOOB Pills —so called because they work upon and cleanse the Blood—tire the standard remedy- These pills will do it and the Temper-ahce Bitters, taken as directed will strengthen thesystem, and prevent the accumulation of the base humors which infest the blood, and which only increase by purges, unless the bitters are taken after. Buy, then, these pills and bitters. Take weekly the pills, and daily the bitters, and if you are or have been invalids for days, weeks, months, or years, you will find the sickly humors drawn off, and prevented from a return, and the nailoje yellow h*r of sickness change rapidly to the full blooming glow health and youthful buoyancy. .There are cases so numeronsof these brilliant effects, that time and space forbid an attempt to put them down. Buy and uae these medicines, and use no other, and health and strength shall be yours. See Wrapper and directions that come with them. For sale bv
