17. Shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man speareth his own son that serveth him.

For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as  oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall  burn them up, faith the Lord of hosts, that shall the leave them neither root nor

2. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings  and you shall go forth, and grow up as

4. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, good which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all free, with the statutes and judgments.

many of our contemporaries were pausing
and hesitating, the writer of this was
the first editor who came out decidedly
for the bill which was massed in march, 
(or April,) 1817; and we believe the
writer was also the first editor who used
the spade and wheel barrow, in the beginning
of the excavation. We were also
the first to propose, and strongly to
advocate the adoption, in our new constitution,
of the clause which provides that
the fee of the canals shall forever remain
vested in the state, and renders the tolls
permanent. But, to say nothing of these
minor incidents, the work was commenced
on the 4th of July, 1817. The Erie
canal is about 363 miles long, and is
at its western extremity, from Lockport
to Buffalo. This canal has 81 locks,
constructed of solid masonry, viz. 26
from Albany to Schenectady; 26 from
the kitter place to Utica; 25 from Utica
to Rochester; and 5 from Rochester to
Buffalo. The northern, or Champlain
canal, was begun on the 10th of June,
1817, and is completed. Its whole extent
is about 62 miles, and it has 21 locks
In this enumeration, two locks to communicate
with the Hudson river at Troy
the great sloop lock above Troy; five ascending
locks at Lockport, and all the 
guard locks are omitted. There are also
several aqueducts if great length.
Those over the Mohawk, between the
Caboose falls and Scenectady; that at
the Little falls, and one over the Gennesee
river in particular. Several dams
are also connected with the work, viz:
Five over the Hudson river; one over
the Mohawk, and one over the Tonewanta
creek. A lateral canal, of one
and a half miles, from the Erie canal to
Salina, was completed in 1820, and several
feeders have been constructed, some
of which are navigable, and a great number
of substantial bridges. The column
of water in each canal is 40 feet
wide at the top, 28 at the bottom, and
four feet deep. The locks are 90 feet
long, and 14 feet wide in the clear. A
boat, of 25 tons, is considered a full load
for one horse, and 25 miles, travel, a
day's work. If above 25 and to 50 tones
of freight are in the boar,, two horses
are used, and they travel 25 or 30 miles
a day. Those boats have been built
expressly for the canal, will generally
carry from 40 to 45 tons; but it is supposed
that vessels may be used carrying
100 tons. The transportation of a ton of
flour from Buffalo to Albany, will not
cost more than ten dollars, freight & toll
included–by land it costs one hundred
dollars or thereabouts. The tolls for
salt and gypsum are 30 cents per ton
for 100 miles. For produce of the country
$1,50; for merchandize, $3. The
revenue from tolls was last year about
$65,000, this year it will be $100,000
All caul loans have been negociated
in this state, and the whole amount now
is about 5,813,500, dollars in stock, bearing
some give and some six per cent interest,
&c. reimbursable in 1837 and
1845. The annual interest is about
$300,000, and the whole sum expended,
to this time, is about 6,387,825 dollars.
We have said, at the commencement
of this description, that Wednesday was
a proud day for New York, and We repeat
the remark; for, whatever party
rules, whatever political chief rises or
fall, agriculture, manufactures and commerce
must still remain the greatest of
our concerns, and, by the opening of the
cancal, these three vital interests
are all most eminently, promoted–
What a wide spread region of cultivated
soil has already been brought within the
near vicinity of the greatest market on
our continent! How many manufacturing
establishments have had the value
of everything connected with them
doubled by this "meeting of the waters!"
How vastly have the internal resources 
of this metropolis been, in one day, practically
extended! Without adverting to
any long vista of future times; how much
has, already, at this present hour, been
effected in the enhancement of the total
value of the whole state. If we just consider
the Hudson, flowing through the
densest population and best cultivated
territory, an invaluable blessing, and, indeed,
a leading feature of our local advantages,
what must the opening of a 
new and additional river,twice the navigable
length of the Hudson, and traversing
a region, whose population and agricultural
wealth will rival and even surpas
those of its banks? A river which,
in one year more, will carry our trade
to the foot of the falls of St Mary, and
will eventually give us access to the remotest
shore of Lake Superior!
Thus has closed one of the greatest,
happiest, proudest, most propitious
scenes our state has ever witnessed.–
Excepting that day on which she joined
national confederacy, there is none like
it in her history;––nor is there like to be,
saving that which will commemorate
the completion of the same grand design,
now so near its consumation. The
prominent figure in this scene of public
exulation, is a man, whose name will
be preserved from the stroke of time by
the benedictions of remotest posterity;
one of those men whom one age is insufficient 
to appreciate, whose thoughts
and purposes run through many ages;–
and whose minds are never fully developed,
till their conceptions have been

embodied in plans and measures, which
on on to bless a nation, from generation
to generation. It is in vain that the efforts
of the weak, who cannot comprehend,
or the malignant, who comprehend
only to hate and envy true greatness, are
combined to bring such men into the
dust.
"Like ancient oaks, superior in power
To all the warring winds of heaven,
they rise;
And, from the stormy promontory
tower,
And toss their giant arms amid the
skies,
While each assailing blast increase of
strength supplies."
DE WITT CLINTON, whatever may
be his public career, is now a private
man; and none of those feelings which
public life, in a free country, never fails
to rouse, have any thing to do with claims
to his country's gratitude, which rest upon
his measures for internal improvement.
These claims are clear, acknowledged, 
irresistible. They have borne
down opposition of party feeling, except
in heads and hearts which nothing can
penetrate; and they will be owned, and
paid too, when we are dead and our
squabbles forgotten. Why do we love to
honor Washington? Because he was
the head of the federal party? No: but
because he achieved our independence–
because he conferred on his country
great and solid benefits, which we and
our children, & our childrens children,
hope long to enjoy. The same kind of
reasoning, and of feeling, will put the
name of Clinton into the same lasting
urn with that of Washington, and will
enwreath them with chaplets which each
successive age will delight to renew.––
And our posterity, spread far and wide
over the borders of the lakes, covering
with golden harvests those plains now
buried so deep in impervious forests, and
reaping from successful toil and easy
communications, the rich fruits of internal
commerce, when they ask the history
of the man who opened for their
various products a path-way to the
sea, and learn that he was dogged by calumny,
and put down such a faction as
we could name, will heave a sigh and
ask "where were our fathers?" Yet,
in according just praise to Mr. Clinton,
for his paramount agency in effecting
this great work, we mean not to appropriate
to him the commendations so farily
due to his able coadjutors. Far from
it: we fully appreciate the ability, foresight,
prudence, industry and zeal; so
conspicuous in all the measures of the
commissioners and those who advised &
acted with them. They deserve a perennial
monument, and they will have it.
To borrow a principle from the highest
of all sources, "the works which they
have done; these will bear witness of
them." Europe begins already to admire–
America can never forget to acknowledge,
that they have built the longest
canal in the world, in the least time,
with the least experience. for the least
money, and to the greatest public benefit.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
LEGISLATURE OF TENNESSEE.
Mr. Grundy–offered the following
resolutions, which were
read and laid on the table, under
the rule of the house, which requires
all resolutions to lie on the
table for one day:
The general assembly of the
state of Tennessee has taken into
consideration the practice
which, on former occasions, had
prevailed at the city of Washington,
of members of the congress
of the United States meeting in
caucus, and nominating persons
to be voted for as president and
vice president of the United
States: and, upon the best view
of the subject which this general
assembly has been enabled to
take, it is believed that the
practice of congressional nominations
is a violation of the
spirit of the constitution of the
United States.
That instrument provides that
there shall be three separate and
distinct departments of the government;
and great care and
caution seems to have been exercised
by its framers to prevent
any one department from exercising
the smallest degree of
influence over another; and such
solitude was felt on this subject,
that, in the second section
of the second article, it is expressly
declared. "That no senator
or representative, or person
holding an office of trust or profit
under the United States, shall
be appointed an elector. From
this provision, it is apparent that

the convention intended that
the members of congress should
not be the principal and primary
agents or actors in electing the
president and vice president of
the United States––so far from
it, they are expressly disqualified
from being placed in a situation
to vote for those high officers.
Is there not more danger of undue
influence to be apprehended
when the members of congress
meet in caucus and mutually and
solemnly pledge themselves to
support the individuals who may
have the highest number of
votes in such meeting,than there
would be in permitting them to
be eligible to appointment of
electors? In the latter case, a
few characters, rendered ineligible
by the constitution, might
succeed; but, in the former, a
powerful combination of influential
men is formed, who may fix
upon the American people their
highest officers against the consent
of a clear majority of the
people themselves; and this may
be done by the very men whom
the constitution intended to
prohibit from acting on the subject.
Upon an examination of
the constitution of the United
States, there is but one case in
which the members of congress
are permitted to act, which is in
the event of a failure to make an
election by the electoral colleges:
and then the members of
the house of representatives vote
by states. With what propriety
the same men, who, in the year
1825, may be called on to discharge
a constitutional duty, can
in the year 1824, go into a caucus
and pledge themselves to
support the men then nominated
cannot be discerned, especially
when it might so happen that the
persons thus nominated could,
under any circumstances; obtain
a single vote from the state
whose members stand pledged to
support them.
It is said that an election by
the house of representatives
would be a dangerous occurrence,
which ought to be avoided.
If so, let the constitution
be so changed as to avoid it; but
so long as the constitution directs
one mode of electing officers,
let not a different mode
prevail in practice. When the
history of the American government
is locked into, with an eye
to this subject, the apprehended
danger disappears. Experience
long since pointed out the inconveniences
of the original provision
in the constitution on this
subject. An amendment, calculated,
as was supposed. to remove
every obstacle, was proposed
by our wises statesmen––
it was adopted by the American
people, and no difficulty has presented
itself in subsequent practice.
Shall a fear, take the amendment
made may fail to answer
the end proposed by it, induce
us to adopt a course, or
persist in a practice, which is
manifestly an evasion of the constitution
and a direct infraction
of the spirit of one of its most
important provisions?
It has been said, that the members
of congress in caucus only
recommend to the people for
whom to vote, and that such recommendation
is not obligatory.
This is true, and clearly proves
that it is a matter which does not
belong to them–that, in recommending
candidates, they go beyond
the authority committed to
them as members of congress,
and thus transcend the trust delegated
to them by their constituents.
If their acts had any 
obligatory force, then the authority
must be derived from some
part of the constitution of the
United States, and might be
rightfully exercised; but when
they say they only recommend, it

is an admission, on their part,
that they were acting without
authority and are attempting
by an usurped influence, to effect
an object not confided to
them, and not within their powers
even by implication. It cannot
be admitted that there is any
weight in the argument drawn
from the fact, that both the parties,
heretofore contending for
the superiority in the United
States, have, in former times,
resorted to this practice. The
actions of public or private men,
heated by party zeal and struggling
for ascendency and power
ought not to be urged as precedents,
when circumstances have
entirely changed. All political
precedents are of doubtful authority,
and should never be permitted
to pass unquestioned, unless
made in good times and for
laudable purposes. In palliation
of the practice of resorting to
caucus nomination in former
times, it was said that each party
must of necessity consult together
in the best practicable way,
and select the most suitable persons
from their respective parties
so that the united efforts of all
those composing it might be
brought to bear upon their opponents.
It is to be recollected
that there is no danger of a departure
from, or violation of the
constitution, except when strong
temptations are presented, and
this will seldom occur, except
where parties are arrayed against
each other, and their feelings
violently excited. The state of
things, however, in the United
States is entirely changed; it is
no longer a selection made by
members of congress of different
parties, but it is an election by
the two houses of congress, in
which all the members must be
permitted to attend and vote. It
is not difficult toperceive that this
practice may promote and place
men in office, who could not be
elected, were the constitutional
mode pursued. It is placing
the election in which all the states
have an equal interest and equal
rights, more in the power of a
few of the most populous states
than was contemplated by the
constitution, This practice is
considered objectionable on other
accounts; so long as congress
is considered as composed of the
individuals on whom the election
depends, the executive will is
subjected to the control of that
body, and it ceases, in some degree,
to be a separate and independent
branch of the government;
and an expectation of executive
patronage may have an
unhappy influence on the deliberations
of congress.
Upon a review of the whole
question, the following reasons,
which admit of much amplification
and enlargement, more than
has been urged in the foregoing
might be conclusively relied on,
to prove the impolicy and unconstitutionality
of the congressional 
nominations of candidates for
the presidency and vice presidency
of the United States.
1st. A caucus nomination is
against the spirit of the constitution.
2d. It is both inexpedient
& impolite. 3. Members of congress
may become the final electors,
and therefore ought not to
prejudge the case by pledging
themselves previously to support
particular candidates. 4th. It violates
the equality intended to
be secured by the constitution
to the weaker states. 5th Caucus
nominations may, in time,
(by the interference of the states)
acquire the force of precedents 
and become authoritative, and
thereby endanger the liberties of
the American People.
This general assembly, believing

that the true spirit of the
constitution will be best preserved
by leaving the election of
president and vice president
to the people themselves, through
the medium of electors chosen
by them, uninfluenced by any
previous nomination, made by
members of congress, have adopted
the following resolutions:
1st. Resolved–That the senators
in congress from this state,
be instructed, and our representatives
be requested to use their
exertions to prevent a nomination
being made during the next
session of congress, by the members,
thereof in caucus, of persons
to fill the offices of president and
vice president of the United
States.
2d. Resolved–That the general
assembly will, at its present
session, divide the state into as
many districts, in convenient
form, as this state is entitled to
electoral votes, for the purpose
of choosing an elector in each,
to vote for president and vice
president of the United States:
3d. Resolved–That the governor
of this state transmit a copy
of the foregoing preamble and
resolutions to the executive of
each of the United States, with
a request that the same be laid
before each of their respective
legislatures.
4th. Resolved–That the governor
transmit a copy to each of
the senators and representatives
in congress from this state.
On the reading this preamble
and resolution, some debate
insued, running into the merits
of the firt resolution, which was,
after presentation, amended by
the mover, so as to read as abov
and the whole was made the order
of the day for Wednesday
next.
The speakers were Mr. Grundy,
Mr. Young, Mr. Brady and
Mr. Maury.
[The preamble and resolutions
were agreed to and passed at a
subsequent day.]
FOREIGN NEWS.
By the late arrivals from Europe,
papers and letters have
been received from Liverpool
to the 27th of September from
Paris to the 25th; and from Malaga
to the 20th of the same
month–twenty days later than
our former accounts. They furnish
some additional intelligence
respecting the progress of the
war in Spain. It appears that
Santona surrendered to the
French on the 11th of September
and Pampeluna on the 17th,
after a gallant resistance. The
Trocadero, an important position
near Cadiz has likewise fallen.
On the other hand, Moncey
is stated to have been defeated
with considerable loss, near
Tarragona, on the 26th and
27th of August, by the 
constitutionalists under Mina. The
loss of the latter was trifling.
Riego, after defending Malaga
until it was no longer tenable,
appears to have successfully
fought his way through the
numerous French corps by which
he was surrounded and is said
to have completely defeated a
strong division of the enemy
near Jaen, after which he proceeded
rapidly towards Madrid
at the head of 5,000 men. It
was expected he would form a
junction with the Empecinado,
and that he would be able to
drive the pretended regency out
of the capital. Cadiz still held
out at the latest dates. The
Duke of Angouleme was said
to be meditating a general attack
on that important post; the
negociation for him and the Cortes
having been broken off. The
