NAVIGATION OF THE OHIO In the wotk proposed in the following petition, the people of the western states, as well as a portion of those on the Atlantic, will feel a deep interest. To the plan ol improving the Ohio, by the construction ol dams on the bars and xipplcs, it docs not appear to us Uiat a solid objection can be urged. The estimate of the cost of the work is based on information derived from a gentleman, whose practical knowledge is entitled to the highest respect. With these remarks we submit the petition, (now in circulation,) to the wes tern public : NAVIGATION OF THE OHIO. To the Honorable the Setiate and Ihuse cf Refirestniatives of the U. States

Your petitioners, citizens ol

convinced of the practicability ol tendering the Ohio navigable throughout the summer and lall months, by boats drawing four Let water between the mouth nf Ohio and Louisillc, and by boats drawing thiec feet between Louisville and Pittsburgh, pray for an appropi ialion for tSic accomplishment of the work. An experiment made this year by Capt Shreve, superintendent for removing obstructions to navigation, clearly demonstrates that the proposed work can be speedily accomplished, and for an inconsiderable amount, when compared with the commercial and national advantages it will insure. By the construction of a viuj;-dani at tho Urand chain, five hundred and fifty-seven yards in length, the

width ol the channel has been dimmish

twenty-two inches to four feet; and the work cost less than six hundred dollars. Ret ween ihe m uth of Ohio and Louisville, th M-e are sixtv-.mc bars or shoals, which miv be so improved, by the con-.-.:r"ctivi of wimj-dams, as to render the chaauei feur feet deep on each at the low-

protection of the commerce of the west

era slates, as well as to add to our means of defence in time of war. The Atlantic cities are also deeply interested in the work, because it would add to the rapidity, certainty and regularity of the communication between them and the western states, diminish the charges of importations and increase the amount of their commerce. The completion of the Ohio and Pennsylvania canals and tho Baltimore Kail Road will, it is believed, have the effect of doubling the amount of transportation oti the Ohio river between Louisville, Wheeling and Pittsburgh, and as the canals will he navigated mainly in tho summer and fill month, we think the expediency of effecting the improvement we propose cannot be doubted.

Mr Copwood offered the lollowing as an amendment, and additional icsolution : And be it furthzr resolved, That the very able, firm and patriotic course pursued by Andrew Jackson, President of the United States, at the last session of Congress, in opposition to the passage of the Maysvillc Road Bill, and others of like character, requiring appropria tions from the treasury of the United States, for local objects of internal improvements, justly entitle him to the highest respect and gratitude of all friends to liberty and free government which was adopted Though this nomination is highly gratifying to the friends of correct principles, it i3 a fact that Alabama is not more decidedly in favor of the re election ol our venerable and patriotic Chief Magistrate, than Misssissippi, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri; and, in 1832, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio will again act together in suppoit of the man and the principles they triumphantly vindicated in 1828.

Your petitioners do not complain of the

policy w hich has led to the expenditure of millions on millions on the seaboard, for the protection of commerce. On the contrary, they concede that the policy of protecting the commerce of our Atlantic brethren, by liberal and ample apppropri ations from the national treasury, was both w ise and just. It has added to the anareiiate uf the national wealth, strengthened an 1 sustained our navy, and caused our stars and stripes to wave in every sea. The tact, that this policy has not only been generally approved, but cheerfully aequieseed in, by the people of the we-l,

i i i warrants lhn inferonco. that, a claioi
