SIR—In obedience to a Joint Resolution of the late General As .terribly of the Slate of Indiana, to the Ceneral Assembly of the State of 0hio, on the subject of connecting fhe waters of the Wabash river, with L-xke Krie, I have the honor »f herewith enclosing to you, a copy of that instrument, with a request, that the same may be laid before the General Assembly of the State, over 'which ycu have the satisfaction to presida.

I eagerly embrace this ttpportuni ty, to assure you, sir, that the deep interest, which this state takes in her favorite Canal intended to connect the Wabash river with the waters of Lake Erie, at ^Navigable points, •the survey & estimate of which, were authorised by an act of the late General Assembly to be made during'the next summer, was quickencd into a hvely sensibility, by the receipt of information lately communicated to sover.il gentlemen of the Indiana Le|Mslature and myself, that your state, already to her glory and the certain ultimate interest of her people, embarked extensively in Internal improvements, and grown powerful by the wisdom of her councils, feels disposed, to cc-operate with our own, a iout to -commence her first great work, by commencing a line of internal artificial- communication, comfnon to both states in honor and in interest.

More than one liilf of the population of Indiana, must become di recily interested, in the completion. of thi* essential artery, as affording nn outlet for the abundant and ^various productions of a fruitful soil, to lbo uorthern and eas-ern cities and manufactories, proving by daily ex--'.p^we^ice to-be a saler and better market, than can be found elsewhere —infinitely- superior ta the celebra ted New-Orleans, which annually, sinks mo*§ or less if our enterprizing population to bankruptcy and ruin, instead of raising them to opulence. Nor, dots it require any un4 usual powers to foresee, that this im-

om

pletion of all that part of the Canal route, from the line dividing Indiana from Ohio, to the Maumee Bay, becoming a law, it may be expected that States as well as individuals, will be authorised to subscribe stock to assist in the furtherance of the project. If Ohio, has disposed of the right, to make this improvement, to a compauy, it may be presumed that unless that company, fails to take efficient steps to-ful-fil the intention of the charter, that she will feel a delicacy if not a want ot authority, in hereatter wresting from it the powers she.has dele gated. But, it is believed, that she will --constantly view with anxiety, the progress of (he work, let no occasion slip to aid its progress, and cheerfully secure the rights of those, that may become ^interested cither states or citizens vi

The grant to Indiana by the United States, to make the Canal, according to a fair construction of the act making it, will be co extensive with such a location as she may think proper to make lo secure a permanent and constant navigation, to Lake Erie, it may perhaps become necessary, to extend thfe line of Canal to the Maumee Bay, a considerable part of which, will fall within the jurisdiction of Ohio, fhe value of this ,*part of the giant, is not accurately'known but, the state of Indi­

can never hesitate in becotn.ng interested, in that section of the Canal, lying within the state of Ohio, to an extent, equal to the value of those Ohio lands, either in conjunction with Ohio, or in connexion with a company, acting under a judicious act of incorporation.—W ere the state of Indiana, to subscribe in stock within Ohio, she would cxpect the Legislature of that state, to guarantee to her the completion of the Canal, and the faithful application of the funds a rising from the land, to the object intended and a voice in regulating the tolls, in proportion to her interest.

No doubt-is entertained, but what Indiana is willing to assist in the Ohio section, to an extent, at least, equal to her-Canal grant of land lying within that state, in any form or manner, that the two Governments may agree upon. And we would not at the beginning, presume to dictate to an older and more experienced state, the character of the association, which should be formed to concentrate the energies of the two states, in eflecting a common object to both Whether a Canal to the Maumee Bay, or slack water navigation, will best meet the preference of the two governments, can only be fully settled by an actual examination of the stream.

If Ohio has already taken any serious step in this business, I must be permitted, in behalf ot the state of Indiana, to request that the chief magistrate of the state of Ohio, will furnish -me-with whatever act, may have been passed on that subject with his vieurs:in relation to it. And if no step has yet been taken, that lie would intimate to me, what course Ohio will most likely pursue in -future, with respect to it. Will she incorporate a company, with leave for other states to subscribe stock, and afford ample security to its owner, by reciprocal legislation? Or, is it most probable she will prefer engaging in the work contemplated, in connexion with Indiana? And if •neither, will she allow the state of Indiana, to carry on the whole work under-her-own authority? Any information that your excellency may think proper te communicate on this interesting subject, will be thankfully received besides laying me under strong obligations, to comply with a similar request when an occasion offers. ••. 1 have the honor to be sir, very respectfully your most obedient servant.

The -bill authorising a Rail Road through the district of Columbia became a tew by its passage in the II. of Representatives yesterday. The constiuctiou of this road will be ul great benefit to this District, inconsequence of the increased facilities which it will afford to the intercom su between this city,'£ Washington,] & iiallimore. In eftect, it will bring the two cities within 12 miles of each other, and will 'make a propor tionate reduction in the price of transportation anil fieight.

./ Mr. BOOM When Mr Boon was in the Northern part of this district, he, based his pretensions to a seat in Congress upon the popularity of Gen. Jackson, lie was a man of the people, no sectional man. I would like to be informed if Mr B. has not represented to the electors South of White river, that it was their interest to elect a Southern man, that the interests of the riorth were distinct anl different from those of the south?

The very able aud honest editors of the Jnnotntor have made a great discovery—they have proved, clear as a mud puddle, that Mr Adams is opposed to the Jhnerican System." I expect they will shortly prove that Mr lay is opposed to it..? And that Mr. Giles and Co are its only supporters.—These are some of the consistencies of men, who set themselves afloat upon the ocean of polities without the rudder of principle or the compass of truth.

FOR THE REGISTER.

Will you have the

goodness to state that the Indian Acncy which has heretofore been at Fort Wayne, and by the exertions of Messrs. Blake, Hendricks, and Jennings, has lately been removed to the Upper Wabash, is not removed to land owned by any individual nor by the U. States',- but is now situate on Indian lands—where the United States can govern and will restrain the vending of liquor to the Indians, and the business can be done by the Agent without being annoyed by whiskey sellers. The money, upwards of thirty thousand dollars, which is annually paid to the Indians, will pass into the hands of the farmers visions, this sum has heretofore been wholly engrossed by the citizens of Ohio, the Michigan Territory, and Upper Canada, without benefiting our own citizens.

Mr. Editor,

the Administration, and to it I can have no sensible objection but you paper is a public journal and propo ses, or at least should, conveying to th« public mind such intelligence as may lead to a correct understanding of public men, public measures and public interests. Believing that in the capacity of an editor, you hold this relation to the people, 1 havede(LM mined to supply occasionally a Jackson article for your column*, not doubting that your impartiality and zeal for the dissemination of political notions, that by comparing^ wc may arrive at the best coclusions, will piocurc them a ready pubiica. uon.

I now support the pretensions of Andrew Jackson to the first office of this people because at the last presidential election he received more electoral votes than any of the four candidates then before us, and although it was nut a majority of the hole, yet it was the best indication if public opiniou before Congress, I am for keeping a light rein ou nen in power. I acknowledge at i.»ce that at that time, had Jackson een opposed by Clay, Adams or Crawford^ he might, or likely would ave been left out. 1 have examinee nany calculation? without beiur couvinced that such would have been

lection of Andrew Jackson to the presidency, and 1 trust that my hon est convictions upon this subjcct will we know are opposed to these appro not preclude my spreading before the priations. They are our ouly oppopnblic. through the Register, my o-

the 'case therefore, do no» think the members ol Congress should hav, passed bv a large list of totes, am, settled upon a candidate having t. smaller, as the one to weeeed.—I is true that any of the men nuineo were more fit lor the duties of th chair than Andrew Jackson—I thought so then I think so^now. and may continue so to think .oi in general I *ould not trust military men with civil powers, and paiticulariy, men who are purely miUtarv and rather unmanageably so—but ha*e entire confidence the wrtue of the American people, and do not think that any man, with any power which an office among us does give, can overturn

pinions and the reasons which have thing like government favors but a Cabinet has little to do with appro ed me to entertain them. your paper advocates the cause of priations—Congress, not the President, docs the business of the natiOB,and a bill twice passed by both houses with a respectable majority becomes a law without the President's aid. Let him take his course he can do nothing he is nothing out of his office, the duties of which have nothing to do with appropriations or any thing else ^legislative we must look to our immediate representa tives for our share of government patronage, for our rights and attention to our local interests) in fact, politics reduces itself very soon to local or sectional interests most parties now-a-days grow out qf them the present contest does not involve any particular principle of general politics other than that mentioned in the outset, although it may ot political economy. ^Administration and

honest) that we had lar better suffer the temporary inconvenience oi an indifferently qualified President than to calmly acquiesce in the dictates of those elected to represent us, whe­

they faithfully do so, or follow their own waywardness. Thepatnotism of Andrew Jackson none dare deny His actions bespeak a soui only too much warmed by the lire ot his country's glory-not of one whe would knowingly trample upon the freedom ol her citizcns. It you ocny or doubt this, then are we lairlj at issue—I cannot go with your administration friends farther than to say what I have already said—that others are better fitted lor civil duties than the hero—but mark, I am clear that if an inconvenience at all, it would have been better, and a safer precedent, for Congress to have placed us under the inconvenience of a Jacksou administration than to have taken any thing upon thetnielves. You will say that Congress should be an independent tribunal—be it so —it is proper—-but let us beat in mind that no power should be exercised but with reference,by the representatives, to the feelings and wish es of the constituents.

You say Jackson is not in favor of the tariff or of protecting duties, and that he will oppose internal im provements—that he will have a Cabinet opposed to these interests and that we, oMndiana, must have our interests sacrificed —1 reason thus on these matters.—-A tariff of duties that will protect the manufacturers of wool and the growers of it, 1 think necessary} just as n.uch so as was that awarded, gin the commencement to cotton* because in a short time we will have better and cheaper goods of our own make than we ob tain from abroad, such has been the case with regard to cotton, and
