Mr.. Rankin, the Chairman ot TIC s1;a:utice
Of Public Lanls. stated the views OF the com,
mittcc on the subject. They daily appreciated
the Importance OF sich canal, believing il tnc
best point for the connection oi these waters,
bat were restrained by principles on which they
had always acted, from going beyond space ne
ccssary for canal, and for assisting the collcc
ton OF tolls thereon. If Congress Intended TO
give grant to this canal or any other road or
canal, 1t was much preferable that the grant
should DC Ill money, rather t'ian III land. The
road which had been spoken OF, was claimed
as right, accruing under the treaty OF Browns
town, ana could not be considered rs prccc-
dent for this measure. With regard to the ex-
peiicncy ofgr.,nting all tn this measure, Mr.. Il.
of Internal improvement, he should be in favor
oft, but was opposed to acting upon it in the
manner now proposed.
Mr.. Mclean, of Ohio, male few remarks,
expressive Of the deep interest he felt on this
subject, and ofhis conviction that the benefit to
accrue from il to the u. States, would doubly
repay the whole expense ofmatng the canal.
| MIR. Test, of Indiana, explained the geogra-
phical character of the country through Which
the canal is to run. 1t was measure SO per-
fectly practicable, that he believed the dcoTcs;
part ofthe canal from the surface, surprising the
| canal to be a dead level, would not be more
than twenty-five feet. Its length would be on
| ly from ID to 90 miles. The country on both
sides OF the route was extremely rich, as rich,
indeed, as it possibly could be, and capable OF
producing vast amount of agricultural pro-
ducts. On the Importance Of this work to that
country, and The United States generally, VIC
dreit at some length, and then replied 10 the OBJ
| jecGotis made by Mr.. Rankin, on the ground o
the ooiig atoms o! the compact with Virginia, &
showed by computation that the proposed appro-
pration of land would advance The value of the
public Ian +, TO much greater amount than
| tiiat Of the proposed appropriation.
On motion CT Mr.. Tracy, of New York, the
! committee then rose, reported progress, and OBJ
| tanci leave to sit again.

many Of IFS textures are highly oligprchial, and
therefore odions arepubiican people.
> Withoutgoing ntopartculars, this meeting
do declare the limit Of tie right of suffrage TO
frccholders, auti-rcpublcan, contrary to reason
and to justice.
Also, the inequality in representation. re-
gardiug the population of the different counties,
cities, and boroughs, as bottorncd upon mus
tice, and therefore contrary to republican doc
trinc.
This meeting declare that they consider
the letter Of Mr.. Jefferson, ofdatc 9th uitirno.
and which has been Published in tic newspa-
pcrs, as giving additional lustre TO the rcpubli-
can orthodoxy of that sage, and atiordinr a fur
ilier reason why his memory should be en-
5aImej in the bosom Of posterity, TO the latest

Wcdo most cordially and earnestly resolve.

of il by all lawful means.
