question.
IN THE SENATE.

IN The SENATE.
The Senate tonk up the bill to autho
rize the appointment of Commissioners
to lay out Canal from Lake Erie to
the navigable waters of the Ohio river.
M. Trimble of. Ohio. submitted his
views in support of the bil!-referring
to the general advantages of improved
internal intercourse; the necessity Of a
canal through the country contemplate
ed for the convenience of the people !;
the great advantages which would
tLerbcy accrue to the Uoited States,by
enhancing the value of the public lands
in that quarter, &c. to show the expe-
diency of at least authorising The course
or line of a canal to be laid out, as pro-
posed by the bill.
air. Macon was opposed to the bill
on general grounds, as well as for the
further reasons that it would encourage
spirit of speculation among the peo-
pie, which it was the duty Of the 60
vernment to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to en-
c0urag" that all works undertaken by
the public became mere jobs that Ca
mails, &c. ought to be made by indivi-
dual enterprise, or private associations,
&c.
MIR: Otis was alsu opposed to this
bill. He was not in favor of holding
out any temptation to purchasers OF
public lands, which might never be re.
allied. The bill was supported on The
ground that it would give additional
value to the public lands in that quar-
ter Of the country; but if the route OF
canal were laid out, the canal itself
might never be completed; and MIR. y.
was opposed to giving an artificial va
lue to those lands, merely as lure to
people to become purchasers. He ar
gued against afording additional in.
ducemeuts to the purchase of public
lands-the land of the United States
was sold with sufficient rapidity aIread-
dy, ard lie wished those sales TO go on
steadily, but gradually. Besides these
reasons, Mr.. U. was not in favor Of

mated by this bill. and there beginning

and retreated into the country, about a mile
from town, where on the 9Th and 28th, Sc
veraI engagements took place, it appearing
to be the intention Of general Pope to slarve
them into submission by cutting of all sup
Plies from the city. During four days, bread
and macaroni were very scarce, and at times
not to be procured. On the LIST inst. the
Neapolitan general sent flag of truce to

THE wATcHFUL CARE OF GOVERNMENT.
"The watchful care of government
may be needful to see that labor and ca
pital are not entirely diverted from those
objects of necessary supply and public
security, which the welfare of the COM
mnnity may imheriousiy demand. -
When we look at our improvidence for
the last 20 years and consider the oppor-
tunity the people of this country have had
to accumulate wealth and capital, by ma
nufactures, to make us independent OF
foreign nations, and how much we have
neglected it, and wasted our substance,
it is convincing proof-we wanted the
zoatcAya care ofyovefnm ent, and zve had
it not. 1t might be Justly inferred that
we are very unwise people. We have
acted more Ike nation OF spendthrifts
than like a frugal and Industrious people.
Sir W,iikiam Temple informs as, "that
the original Holianders from The high
est to tie iozoest made it an inparia6le
marin 10 hue 7pifhin their incom me, so as
they could discharge their just debts"
This certainly is an excellent maxim.
if we had followed it for the last 90 years,
the government and the people of this
country would now be in an enviable ST.
tuation. But the reverse is Che fsct.-
We have increased our national debt 90
millions ofdollars in 80 years. We have
expended 500 millions Of revenue, in
Guiding 90 millions of the national do
main, and the treasury of the United
States now dependent upon loans in
profound peace, and without any national
calamity 4" This deplorable state ofthe
nation is now demonstrated by report
of committee OH the tariff. The ex-
travagance Of the national government
has kept pace with the extravaganza of
the people. Nearly whole years re-
venue, Sl5,ooo,ooo, is now in the'hands
of delinquent officers of the national go
vernment. The habits of extravaganza
we acquired in what was called good
hmes, has ruined the people ofthis coun-
try-they still cling to it, and use every
effort and every means to maintain ex-
travagauce in our families, without look
ing to the consequence; and even now
when our agricultural products are re-
duccd SO low, still the farmers Law out
the Grams Of agriculture in one foreign
superfluity or another, when in times
like these itmight well be expected that
economy would be used in every family.
