The steam boat Facility, from Cincinnati arrived at this place on Sunday, landed passengers, and proceeded up the Wabash. Same day, arrived steam bat Highlander, from Louisville, and after laying too a short time, proceeded up. The steamboat, Virginian, from Latayctt, ariivedon Wednesday last, received on board some loading and passengers, and left same

there remained but one alternative, and I adopted it and that was to come upon compromising terms, in which I followed the dictates of a clear conscience; though unaccompanied by mv colleague, or either of the representativefrom Daviess, Sullivan or Vigo!! and changed mv vote, placing the road where the senate had located it, and where I conscientiously be

lieved it ought to be. And the result was, that I thereby secured a majority not only in favor of the canal, but also of some other measure which I shall presently notice. By this advisable and accommoda

ing spirit on my part, much money was

saved to the state in legislating as some would term it, but w hich 1 can call by no sof

Thit compact was viewed by the friends arid enemies the supporters and opposcrs of the canal, as the- pivot upon which its future fite would ton, ; in other words, its friends and sup

porters believe d that should this compact be confirmed on o;ir part, it would ultimately be also confirmed on the part of Ohio; and that it would ser re as the entering ccdgc to ope;iiu" and comrdetinj the canal; and that with-

out it, the time limited m the act ot ooa;ress ot M March, 1S127, mwht pass otf, and we lose th; benefit of the grant. On the contrary, its oonoers contended that Ohio would never rat-
