lziatelat the state to which Coiigress has cove-
iianted that the roadshall lead: .
It-has been said,',‘that the provision which
plerlges the twoiper ‘cent. fund of the several
VVestern-- states for dcfraying the expense of
the Ctitnberland road,bat-l been inserted in all
the former bills Otlillliltisltlijecl. Iadtnit this
said Mr. C. httt I should never have given tny
‘cénsent to its inscrtion, had I nO,t.[ll0tlgl\Il that
it -was understood and agreed tipon, as a part
ofthe plan, that Congress should go on »with
tile, road, and carry it to all the states whose
fu.i'irls have been thus pledged. . ,'

Mr. C. tliongitt that the principle ofprest2r-
valion itselfaft‘urtled,gttfiicietttfiirgtitttettt in
‘support of the. measure tiow under con.sider:i-
tion. He knew, ltl(le,t‘tl,5_lll:lt all ‘questions
which glanced at the ttuion ofthe states, and
the possibility of its severance, shonltl be
tnuclted liglttiy and with-‘-a catitiotzs hand.—
Thar tendencies towards sepj1t':ttititt do exist,
will not be denied by any candid and'reflect-
Eng man, and they callon us to look faralieatl
‘and to prevent, it" possible, tltefdisastrotts evil
whicli ‘they threaten. Among the causes
which go to increase the tendencies to sepa-
ration, in such a system as ours, may be criti-
inerated the loftymouutains which separates
different parts of our ‘conntry—the. extended
‘space over which our population and govern-
ment are spreatl, together with the dilfereiit.
scenes to which cotninercial piirstiits lead the
citizens of diffcreiit districts ofthe Union.———
Some of these, are,iindecd, beyond human
control, btit the effect oftnany of thetti tnay
be, in a certain degree, corrected, ifnot whol-
ly retuoved. The inotintains_ may be ctit
through : we will teach the lofty Allegauy to
how its proud head to the interest antl repose
of our country. As to space and distance,
they are t'.erms wholly relative, and they have
relation as tnuch to tire facility ofintercourse
as to actual distance ofplace. It will be the
business of wise legislation, to correct the e-
vils to which a sparse population exposes us.
lftwo places are twenty miles aparl", and two
other places are eighty miles asunder, and
-yetthe distance between them both occupies
but otie day, the two latter places, for every
practical purpose, are as near to each other as
the two fot,mer. And is it nottlie solemn duty
oftliis Irlouse, to strengthen, by every means
in its power, the principles ofcohcsiou, which
bind us together—to perpetuate the union of
these States, and to weaken and diminish, to
the utmost of its ability, whatever has an op-
posite tendency ? Can the imagination of
man con_ceive a policy better calculated than
that ‘of which the present measure fortus a
P311": 10 bring the opposite extremities of our
souutry togetlier—-to bind its various parts to
each other, and to multiply and strengthen
the various and innumerable ties ol'cotnmer-
cial, social, and literary intercourse—-in a
word. to make ofthe various and wide spread
jiopttlntiogpf these confcderated Republics
one united people ?

He then proceeded to the second branch of
the subject. and inqttired, is this object a fit
one to be pursued rillltis lime fl As ati objec-
130"-it had been said, that this was an antici-
pation ofa part of the system oflnternal Im-
provement devised at the last ses.sion,and that
the execution of that system ought not to be
begttti till the whole has been c0nsideretl.—-
The object ofthat act was to.obtaiu facts atid
collect information respecting objects ofim-
provetnents where that knowledge was notyet
obtained. But, with respect to this object,the
infortnation is obtained ; the facts are known.
Surveys and estimates have been made. The
length of the road proposed by this bill is 80
miles. Its e._s!im.'ite-.'l cost is 450,000 dollars.
The work is already begun—it is still iit pro-
gross. A nioutentary pause has indeed taken
place, bttt it is ready to proceed,and to be con-
tinued on the other side ofthe Ohio, as it has
been finished oti tliisside. -

But we have been told that it is to be the
policy of the next adtuinistratiou to pay the
public debt; that it must he paid with as much
expedition as isat all practicable, and that no
part ofthe public resources are to be diverted
to arty other object. Sir, there is no member
of tltis House more desirous to see the nation-
al debt paid than I am. I never was one-of
those who believe that. a public debt is a pub-
lic ltlessing. I h:ive always cottsidcretl it as
it ln0I‘l;’,fl,'.',0, tltaggiiig on our fiunnccs,and'one
wltich it was our duty to foreclose and pay off
as soon as possible. Btit there are debts which
I feel no hesitation in devolving on posterity.
I refer to a debt \Vlll(.li carriestlie benefit with
the burden. But there is no proposition to
create a nntioualdebt forintcrnal improve-
inents. The Secretary of the 'I‘reasury has
stated that the ptiblic debt may be paid off in
10 years, and that all the time there will be 53
millions in the Treasury applicable to any
object within the constitutional powers of the
gov’t. The present hill Cannot, therefore, be
rejectctl from "any want of means to carry it
into effect. There is another view ofthe sub-
ject. What is your source of revenue? It is
consumption. And what are the sources 0
rzonsumption? Population and wealth.
Tlten,iri a course oftett years, starting on arty
given tariff ofduties, the increase ofpopttla-
tion will occasion an inct-t=:t<e of the revenue
of-l0 per cent. at a ratio of l per cent per an-
num. These truths are sufficiently obvious.

It has been said by some gentlemen, that
the \Vcst ought not to have this bill.ttntil oth-
er portions ofthis Union receive a sitnultane-
OHS lleltclll. But Ican assure gentlemen,tltere
isvtin danger of untlue. appropriation in favor
of the West. Let tne advert to the small
comparativ.e amount of the pttblic expendi-
tures beyond the tnotttitains. I do not say an
equivalent is to be givett to the West for the
vast stitns expended on this side upon tltc na-
vy, fortifications, &.*.c. No such thing. I know
the disproportioti results from local circum-
stances, not in the controlof government.-
Yela am I wrong to s.H_V.lbat it fortns an equit-

' able consitleration which addresses itself
strongly to the feeling, to the justice and to
the generosity ofCongress ; all which canitot
but induce them to correct, as far as possible,
such -'1 Si-"J8 Of things, and make the balance
of public benefits more equal whenever the
opporttinity is presented to thetn? I may ask
with .confidence, has the “fest ever acted on
this :narrow policy? Did it ever hesitate when
the public wants required its aid ? Did yoti
ask for navies ? The moneys for building Xx’.
equipping them were freely granted. Do voti

Mr. Breck, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Jen-
nings, of Indiana, offered substitutes and a-
mendtuerits toithe bill, which were rejected
by large majorities.

In the I-louse, on Tttesday, Mr. Webster’s
resolution calling for information respecting
the claitns of the U. States on the government
ofthe Nelltel‘lull(lS, was agreed to.

Mr. Wright called up the consideration of
a resolution offered by. him some days since,
proposing a committee to appoint rules to be

Vice President. After a few explanatory re-
ttiarks by the mover, the resolution was a-
greed to, and .1 committee ofsevcn appointed,
viz. Messrs. Reynolds, Cambreleng, Blair,
'I‘ritnble, Moore, ofAlab. Ilayward, 8:. Ellis.

The bill to provide for the extension of the
Cumberland Road, waslordered to be engros-
sed fora Sd reading, by a majority of 12 votes.

In the Senate. Otl W'edtie.stlay, the report of
the Judiciary Committee unfavourable to the
Yazoo land Claimants was taken up and de-
bated, and finally laid on the table.

On Thursday, the Senate were occupied
on the bill for the suppression ofPirac_v.—
i\'lr. Barbour spoke near 2 hottrs in favor of
the bill. He said he was happy that the"
President had recomntentled tneasures as en-
ergetic as they were net'essary. And all a-
greed that something must be done promptly.
The island ofCuba, the seat of these outra-
ges, was under a leprosy, from head to foot,
and might be likened to Sodom and Gomor-
rah. The posture in which Spain now stood
was that ofconnivance in these injuries, or
incapacity to prevent tltetii.

In relation to the first section, be presum-
ed no objection would be made to it-it'was a
transcript oftlte bill which passed the Senate
at the last session ; and in relation to .tlte ar-
gumcnt then used, that it would be-better to
purchase the vessels than to build them, that
had been then so conclusively met by the gen-
tleman who presided so ably at the head of
the Naval Committee (Mr. Lloytl,) that it
was unnecessary for him to speak on thepoint.

Oti the Ed section ofthe bill, Mr. Barbour
spoke to considerable length. He thought
the right to pursue the pirates asspecilietl in
the section, wottld not be questioned ; they
were the enemies oftnatikiiid, and all inatt-
ltind were enemies against them. It was a
matter ofcotninott course, that they should be
exterminated. He quoted the opinion ofa
distingttislietl jurist, who ltad recently occupi-
ed a place on the Bench of the Supreme
Court, in confirmation of his own, ifany
tnore were wanted, he could refer to the mes-
sage ofthe President arid the Report of the
Secretary of the Navy. If credit could be
given to the statetncnts of Mr. Randall, and
he understood him a gentleman of respecta-
bility, thelocal authorities of the island co-
operated with these brigauds, and received
the price of iniquity. There was no fact
tnore clear, that no measures were taken to
apprehend autl punish any offenders. It was
titne,tlterefore-, they were tattght that there
was auotlier countr_v sufficiently strong to
seize them in their recesses. He asked what
the objection was to ptirsttit ? '.l‘erritorial
riglits would be violated, and this was :1 terri-
ble thing! If Spain was at-quittctl ofthe ob-
ligation imposed by the laws ofGnd antl man,
in pursuing and capturing a cotninon enemy,
then it might be lllljtlsllfiitltle to enter her ter-
ritory. Mr. Smith of Md. followed, not in
opposition to the bill, but with sotne remarks
in relation to the Ed section, expressing his
doubts about. the blockade proposed to be laid
on any port or city of the islands, in which
the pirates may have found refuge.

In the house, on the 19th, after a debate
which occupied nearly the whole day, the
Niagara claims bill passed, 1921 to 69.

On Friday, 21st, the Senate were occupied
on the bill for the suppression piracy’. Mr.
'I‘.tzcwell moved to strike out the 8d section,
and Messrs. Stuith and Lloyd moved to insert
2 additional sections.

The house passed by a majority of 39, the
bill atttlitirizing, a subscription to the stock of
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and by
a rnajority of 9.5 the bill for the continuation
ofthe Ctitnbctlatid Road.

NEW-YORK LEGISLATURE.

In Senate,T/Lurstlag/,l3th,tlte conunittee on
banks, to whom the resolution requiring the
banks iii the state to report to the Senate, re-
ported sundry resolutions. In the course of
the debate which followed it appeared that
the Attorney General had been directed to
proceed against the Niagara Bank, upon the
ground that the batik hail forfeited its charter;
it was therefore contended that by calling on
that batik to report, the resolution to proceed
against it was virtually rescinded, and a mo-
tion was made to strike the batik of Niagara
from the resolutions. Mr. \Vilkeson remark-
ed that by reference to the charter ofthe batik
it would be seen that it had not forfeited its
charter, btit was obliged to pay ten per cent
interest on all its tinredeemetl bills. As the
batik would soon be in possession of abundant
futttl.s he wished it might be required to report
in 60 days. Mr. Nelson wished the agents to
be requiretl to report at what discount the
notes had been redeemed: it was asserted that
many ofthein hail been redeemed at lshilling
on the dollar. M r. Dudley said there were
$15,000 of Niagara money in the state treas-
ury,aud he wished the resoltitions to lie on the
table till the subject was investigated. Mr.
Wilkeson said the stock ofthe batik had chan-
ged hands, and was now principally owned in
Canada, by persons unconnected with the for-
mer transactions ofthe institution. The pre-
sent capital was raised by ti recent call on the
stockholders_'. I-Ige hoped titne would be given
them to report. The report and resolutions
were then laid on the table.

In the House,amo ng other pctitions,was one

for the incorporation ofa company to make at

canal along the south side of L. Island, with

banking privileges.

‘ On I7'rldrry,1-lili,,a'bill was re'poi-'ted_'to te-
peal the act.of1817, to encourage‘ manufac-
tures. A resolution was passed calling on the
banks for a statement oftheir concerns. ,

Three commissioners were appointed to vis-
it and report on the state of the salt springs.

On the l5th,a bill was reported in the Sen-
ate giving the choice of Presidential Electors
to the people. The bill provides that at the
general election, next preceding the choice of
President and Vice President, there shall be
elected as many electors from each congress-
ional district as there are members of Con-
gress in said district, and that the electors so

The question was then taken on filling the ‘chosen shall shall appoint two others, corres-

pending with the number of Senatorsin Con-
gress, and that they shall have power to fill
all vacancies in their own body.

The Judiciary committee were instructed
to inquire into the expediency of repealing
the fe3li'aini1t,g' laws. Mr. Crary said it was
time some security was given from the city to
the country. He believed the pttblic confid-
ence in the chartered lnstittttioiis. in the city
was irupaired,anrl that before long all respect-
able and responsible men would desire to es-
cape from them. The repeal of the laws allu-
ded to, would tend to equalize the situation

observed atthe nextelection of President and ‘bf me city and country, and to prevent the

great accttmulation ofcapital in the former to
the prejudice oftltelatter. It would prevent
also the numerous applications for Banks.aud
diminish the aniotint of notes issued on ficti-
tiouscapital. He doubted the constitutional-
ity of restraining an individual from the cir-
culation of his own notes-to any amount how-
ever large or small.

On Monday, 17th, the Senate were enga-
god, as a Court of Errors, in hearing argu-
ment on the iiuportant cause between the N.
River Steam Boat Company, appellants, and
John R. Livingston, respondent. The inter-
est ofthe cause and ofthe argument, drew a
crowd into the Court. Mr. Colden and-Mr.
Spencer were severally exctisetl from sitting
as members ofthe cotirt, during the progress
ofthis cause. The reason assigned by the
former was that of personal interest, and by
the latter, the interest ofrelatives.

In the Hotise, a bill was reported for the
payment of notes to the amount of 314,665,
given by Myron Holley as Canal Commis-
ioner.and providing that the satne atnount be
deducted fr, the account ofthe sd. Holley.

On the 18th, Mr. Spencer, of the Senate,
introduced a joint resolution, iustructingthe
Attorney General to institute immediate pro-
ceedings to antinl the charter ofthe Dutchess
Couut_v Insurance Company, which had re-
cently qttit its original domicil, and becotne
convmot-ant in \Vall-street, on the ground of
ruisuser and abuse ofits privileges, in having
circulated promissory notes, advertised to re-
ceive deposits, and usurped other banking
powers, not contemplated in the charter.

[The New.York editorscontradict, upon
ati.tftoril_i;, the allegations contained in Mr.
,Spencer’s resolution, as mentioned above.]

In the house petitions. were presented for
a canal from Granville to the Champlain ca-
nal, and from Black River to the Erie canal.

On the 19th, a bill was introduced authori-
sing the Governor to procttre a full length
portrait of Lafa_vette, and to place it in the
capitol, along with the portraits of George
Washington and George Clittton ; and also
authorising the Governor to receive him in a
proper manner on his arrival in the state, and
to provide the means of facilitating his jour-
ney through it, [it being understood to be the
General’s intention to pass along the Erie ca-
nal during the ensuing sutniner.] ,

In the house, on the 19th, a petition was
presented frotn James A. Hamilton and oth-
ers, for a Bank in N. York. [A certain num-
berofshares to he set apart for the benefit of
Harriet Dale, widow of Robert Fulton, and
her children; a petition frotn Harriet Dale
for the incorporation of saitl Bank, in behalf
ofherself and children, was also prcsented.]

A bill was passed removing the present
State Prititer, [the editor ofthe Alb.Argus.]

 

.?lIulin_1/.-—‘A letter frotn St. Johns, dated
Dec. 25, says—-‘‘ The brig Lancaster, Denn-
aldrin, on her passage from St. Thomas to
Porto Rico, had a mutiny on board, in which
the master was seized by the throat, and would
have been murdered, had it not been for the
timely assistance of the mate. After a strug-
gle of some time, the master, mate, and pas-
sengers, secured them, and discovered 3. runs-
ketanrl some ball cartridges. Kelly, after
being put in irons, said ‘ that we mightthank
God he was under arrest, for iflte had had
his liberty halfan hour, he would have put the
master and mate out ofthe way, hove the pas-
sengers overboard, released his shipmates, and
been captain ofthe brig.’ No doubt this was
their plan. Four of them are in the port of
St. John’s, Porto Rico. The first U. States
vessel will bring them home. Messrs. Barns,
Jurvell, and Lines, (passengers,) got out the
boat, rowed to the brig Sea-Horse, where
they procured three men, and returned with
them to the brig. The next day, the 25th of
December, the master and tnate arrived at St.
Johns, niucb hurt in the struggle.”

Letters from Alvarado of Dec. 33d and
Etcth, states that two or three American ves-
sels were under seizure for attempting to e-
vade the revenue laws,and that in consequence
of these attempts the government had become
doublyvigilant, and had adopted such rigid
measures to prevent smuggling, as would sub-
ject the fair and regular trading vessels to
considerable iuconvenience.—.Mcrc. fldv.

The PliiladelphiaFreeman’s Journal, says,
the state ofNew Jersey in granting the char-
ter for the Delaware and Raritan Canal, ‘has
sold herself for a mess of pottage,’ and in re-
counting the evils that will result to that state,
by the construction ofthis canal, holds out
the idea that the produce ofthat state will be
undersold in the Philadelphia market by the
prodttce which comes through the great west-
ern canal of this state. ‘ The truth is,’ says
the paper ‘New York has been the prince
mover of this measure, which is intended for
her benefit alone. It is a well known fact
that $500,000 would have been given as a be-
mis for this Canal instead of $100,000 had
the Legislature of New Jersey demanded it:
An effectual stop, however, can be put to the
consutnination ofthe threatened evil. In or-
der to construct this canal, a breakwater for
ten tniles above its tnoutli in the Delaware
will be ~necessary—--this . cannot be erected
without the consentoftbe legislature ofPenn-
sylvania. Our representatives are bound to
look to the welfare oftbeir constituents-—will
they then give permission to this object ?’
