riXCESWES, FEBRUARY 23. 1828

The following notes were laken carefully, by a party of gentlemen who descended the Wabash from the mouth ot Eel liver to the mouth of Wild Cat, in two canoes, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the Wabash will admit of steam boat navigation as high up as that point The water was about at it usual winter stage, but rises from 15 to 20 feet higher. The party commenced theii survey on the 8th day of this instant. Island No. I. Channel right side, head of is land 4 ft. 8 inches, one mile below Eel. No 2.

I have been informed by general WiNon, (who acted as secretary to the Commission er,) that gen. Tipton, on the part of the government, has succeeded in purchasing from the Eel river, or Thorntown party of Miami Ittdims. the ten mile reserve, commonly kmvvnby the name of the Sugar creek rc

serve. Though the tract puichascel is small it is important and in point of sih water, and almost every natural advantage which

can be found in any tract of country of no

greater size, are to met with upon this, and in a superior degree. Extract from Mr. Blake's speech, delivered on the 26th ult. upon the subject of to trenchment in thcrx jenscs of g tvernment k Sir, all impartial pet sons will, I think ad nvt that the science of war is an important

one ; that it requires much application, and that, unless it is assidiously cuh.wted, we

sh ill ever be found unptepared to meet the enemy, and protect the honor of the nation. The many disasters which have happen

ed to our army, have taught us impressive

lessons upon this subject. The gentleman h-w nltjn ft'.liiilrrl to thr rrrnmmrnr! f wm rS -

naval academy, and set ms to deprecate the policy. I will observe, in answ er to him. that

the same re s his w hich apply in favor a mil

itary academy, apply with equal foice in favor

of a similar intstitution for ihe msttiiction o?

our navy youth. And why should they be tie glected, while the youth of tho army are pro

Ytdcd fo: ? II s 'not e fame been acquired on land than on water? At least one half of the

nation's glory is the hard earnings of our d

lant tars. We are told by the sime identic-

man, that we arc here surrounded by splendor and extravagance, and that the objects

and habits which inticnch us on all sides, in

culcate notions vcrv di Vomit from thoc

which we entertain at our respective homes.

This may be, but let us undertake retrench

ment and icform, and prosecute the vvoik as

rig irously and efficiently is possible, we shall

alter all, still find ourselves surrounded by

smetui r ana extravagance i nose initios

are inseparable from the seat of government

of a nation; and if we arc led astray by them, the pcopl- who sent us here must apply the rod of correction, and restore us to private life until we arc restored to ourselves. Sir, it is constantly rung in our eat s, that the administiation is prodigal and wasteful : hut where is the prool ? What new cilices have been cremated under it ? Not one. What salaries have been raised I Not one, except that of the postmaster general, and whose salary, I have been informed, was raised a thousand dollars higher than the recommendation of the executive. Then why all this declamation, and all these resolutions, about the multitude of officers, Sc the extravagance of their salaries ? Sir, I repeat it, these resolutions are an attack on the presctit administration, and whether so designed or not, such is the aspect, t am well convinced, in which they will be regarded on the other side of the mountains We arc, moreover, told, that the per diem allowance received by us here, as the representatives of the people is too much ; but if this be the fact, it is surely our own fault, and the administration are not to be blamed for it. On the ncorc of this item of retrenchment, I am prepared to go as far as any other gentleman on this lloor. In the lan-

tai thest. 1 am w illing even to eo so tar as to

do away the compensation to members alto gether. But it we are to be supported licit at the public expense, it docs appear to mi that we ought to be furnished with such means as to enable us to live in a manner be coming the tepresentatives of a great people Mr speaker:. I am not prepared to say that a general retrenchment is absolute)' ne ccssary -that there art more cfiiceis employed here than are icquited by the public intciest. It such was the case, I am inclined to believe that the distinguished individuals at the head of the government would have rc commended the niustti e. My opinion ol those gentlemen is vciy different tiom that which the honorable gentleman from Virginia (Mr Floyd,) appears to enteitain ol them I believe them to be as intelligent, as honest, as patriotic, as any set ot men at the head ot any government in the world, and that we have cause to rejoice that they are our coun tiymcn, and have been placed al the helm. If justice should not be done them now, pos tcity will do them justice; hut I hope and trust, and believe, that the present age will do them justice, notwithstanding the many predictions and appearances to the conttary ; and, sir, as it iclaics to my humble tort unes, I cheet fully and teailessly peril them

in the same bark, and am willing to sink ot swim with the cause of the ptcsent adminis tration

Sir, e arc told by an honorable gentleman

from Virginia that this is not the accepted

time lot this inquii y ; but I put it t the gen

erous fcclii.j--, ol ht boos . , hether, altet

the rematks which have hern made, so well calculated to excite the suveion of the peer

pie. and sw -ll the clamo; against the present

administration, it is iLrhl then to relusc and

prohibit an inquiry ? Sir, this is the accept

ed time ; there is a ct isis in out political concetns ; the people aie excited, and that, too, about the very matters embraced in this resolution, and justice an ! genciosity, our duty

toourselvcs & to our constituents. re noire thot

we should now fully investigate whether the present administiation be culpable or iuno cent."

fSo, Mr. IJiakc would like to have the e-

lectioo in this district decided upon the cjnes tion of u Administration " or " ami-Admini

It ispe tended that he will or that he ::just in the e vent ol his election to the presidency, oppose a tariff of protecting duties, bv the pov. er laid influence of his office; and their assumptiev. in this instance is equally utisustaiii- d by facts, and equaUy unsupported by ieason,as

His o pinions and sentiments cn this interesting question of political economy, and national policy, are given without disguise, and explained with remarkable clearness. From that letter we make the following extract : 44 So far as the tariff before us embraces th.c design cf fostering and preserving within ourselves the means of national defence and independence, pat ticularly in a state of war, I would advocate and support it. Providence has filled our mountains and our plains with minerals, with lead, iron and copper ; and given us climate and soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the grand materials of our national defence they ought to have extended to them adequate and fair protection, that our manufactories and laborets may be placed on faair competition with those of Europe, and that wc may have within our country a supply of those leading and
