Mary Lc Ffvrc wag but seventeen when the died, beautiful as innocence may be ia death, full in immortal hope and vircin henor. Her life had hern a cup of bittern?, anJ she the victim of her own deep atlcctions, and unsullied nul. Kre Mary had lost the fresh and raily innocence of girlhood, it was her tfiny to love. The object of thnt affection was one of a generous loul and i noble spirit one, who like herself, had mircled little with the world knew nothing of its briery paths less cf its depravities. Tbev had mingled heir early affections together as cne fountain, and they partook of its w ten unknowing ofiti dregs of bitterness vecrcted in the bottom.

We consumo considerable Southern cotton, it is true, but, if the productions ofoursoil, were not excharged for it, how marked would be the diminution immediately, Q the quantity consumed. And if our horses, hogs, cattle or other staples, bhall ever be excluded from Southern markets, bv unconstitutional laws, or non-consumption agreements, it will but give an impulse in these states, to the culture of cotton, hemp, tlax and wool, which will soon take the place of foreign cotton. The newly invented machinery for manufacturing these articlu9,into a great variety of fabric k, once successful, our necessities for cotjtfn, from other states, must soon grow as limited, as their's would sermtobe, for our, commodities. De (hit as it may, it ts au error to presume, l(mt the people of Indiana, can be induced or forced lo abandon their favorite internal improvement aird domestic manufacturing systems, to secure to ihemselves the comfort and honor of wearing Georgia or Carolina cotton, whilst their own climate and soil, ore capable of producing their variety of superior materials. Fxccpt what hag been referred to, nothing has occurred in our excellent country, to disturb the tranquility of 'the people, or impair iu the least, their

Inobod:cnce to an act of the last Cea ral Assembly f this St te, cn tt e 4t!i of February "l28, I addressed a 'C.mmuiTicatio!i to the Secretary of War Mr. Barbour, for aconitructinn of that part of the treaty of 180, made with tbe Potuwutomie Indian?, which relates ! tn ihr riM; cn n . or a road, rom ; Lake Michigan to the Ohio river; and in the month of April las received the

ply of the Secretary; which c ilcT providing lU means to preteevte andj id answer, will be laid before the Lcl wlh.a work w,.th rd hmu csa

and answer, gislature for its further information. It will be staled, however, fcr the public satisfaction that the Secretary of War, coincides with your Executive in opinion, that the Stato of Indiana, w ill not be confined in the location of the gections of land, to the lino of the road, in all cases where good land cannot be found along iU margin; but, may select such lands as he is willing to accept of. It is also suggested by tho Secretary, that it might be proper to consult the Indians as to the length of the road, and where it shall terminate at the Ohio mer. Dut, that the Stato is constituted sole trustee of all the parties, with full power to do what the in her wisdom may think proper, is not doubted by the Secretary of War. It now remaina foryou gentlemen, so to manage this grant, as to meet the wishes ol all concerned: and without procrastina tion to cause its benefits to be real-zed. I would suggest that to sell the land, be fore the road is finished or even com menced, is at a single 6troke, to sacrifice a considerable portion of this valu able boon, unnecessarily, r unds it is believed, may be raised by mortgaging the lands at an agreed estimate, and the mortgages be redeemed in due time, by the proceeds of the same laud sales, at an advance far exceeding tho amount of interest, which would accrue. Not having been informed by the Commis sioners oppoluted to locate this road, what progress they have made in attempting to discharge their duty, it will be expected, that they will in a Jircct manners a)' before your honor.

blc bod) the result of their labors. That economy, which it would be dceirable to see practised by all bodies who hold the purse strings rf tlx: people; and that lofty magnanimity, high sense of justiceand steady devotedncEP to the grncral and not local interest, which to the honor of Legislators, should predominate in their council8, call loudly, upon this occasion, for a spirit cf compromise, eqnal to tbe hitherto apparent difficulties, which it will be rucessary to overcome, in order to fir upon a point on the Ohio river, nt which this read shall terminate. When legislation faib to etfcct this object, it is earnestly heped, that it -may not produce a farther eu pension of the progress cf the road; but, that the dernier resort of Commissioners, tlecfcd by joint ballot, will be appealed to, whose duty it shall be to examine the country and the difiV rent eligible points at the river, as wo!I as to consult the Indians, and then, by acting decisively, put a period to this contention, which appears to be unhappily interminglmg itself with both the polities and legislation of the state. A prompt and decisive course is recommcr.ded in settling this question,Any notice of the ccirssponience, which urns epened daring the past year in virtue cf the joint resolution ot the General Assembly, between the Executive of tha Stats of Ohio, and the Ex

ecutive cf Indiana, with respect to the jPrant of land?, made by Congress to this I 'te fc ft canal, it is presumed, w ill be jjapcrfedt - d, by theccveral r S - nst Congress of the United i: acts cf the alive to ,l)at 5ubioct Tn5s correfpon- ( - .

The timeha8 gone by, for hesitation. We have already crossed the Rubicon. If we now puth forward, like the states of New Voi k, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states have done, as duty, honor and interest prompt, a mayety of the rneana under any circumstances, must be raised by lean. The land, if sold for ready ca'h, will not produce a sullicient sum to cover the estimate of this undertaking. But, if a sale of lnndf, should be deemed prudent at all, before the comrrieoccment or completion of the canal. let there be only every otner section brought into market; making one hall of the whole, to be first appropriated for the summit level section. This section sold, might afford nn opportu. nity to the cultivator of the soil, to furnish our workmen with provisions, a little earlier and a little cheaper than they could bo obtained elsewhere. Theone retained, would uecure to the State, the increased value, which the tioithed facility, must attach to it.
