THE CUMBERLAND ROAD.
On motion Of Mr.. Hendricks, the
consideration Of the bill making ap-
propriations for the extension and re-
pairs Of the Cumberland road, thro'
the States Of Ohio, Illinois and Indian
a-was resumed.
NJ. Hendricks withdrew an amend
ment proposed by him, inserting S20,-
600 additional for the state Of 1ndt-
ana.
1ir. Clay objected to an appropri-
alton inserted in the bill for the con-
etruction Of bridge over the Wa
bash, a. well a. to the increased a.
mount now proposed for the road.
Although friendly to internal irs-
provemsnt, he could not sanction
such an outlay, and he begged to re-
mind the Senators from those States,
who sought for this boon, that their
true policy on behalf Of their respec-
tive states, would be to cooperate
with him and give their aid in bring
ing to maturity, the general system
Of internal improvement which 1t
would be in their power to have, If
the bill to divide the proceeds Of the
public lands among all the States in
the Union, should find favor with the
Administrator to whose measures
they had given their cordial support.
He referred to the opposition given
to the proposition to extend this road
from Lexington to Maysville, and
said, If disposed to act in a spirit Of
resentment he would not vote one
dollar more for the extention Of the
road unless equal justice was done to
the section of country south west Of
the Ohio river. He should not vote
to extend the road, at all events, be-
yond the Mississippi; and not believ-
ing that it was possible to procure Ia
Dor or materials to justify the large
appropriation Of one million, as con-
tanned in the bill, he would move to
reduce the appropriation to the same
amount that was granted last year.
Mr.. Upton insisted that the appro-
priation was absolutely necessary to
insure the completion Of the work,
and without reference to other works
Of internal improvement it was only
IN act Of justice due to the several
new States, by their compact with
the general government granting 5
per cent. from the sales Of land for
the purpose Of making roads, &c.
Mr.. Hendricks considered that the
proposition to reduce the appropria-
ton would virtually Kill! the bill.
After being debated by Messrs.
Ewing, Of Ohio, Robinson, Linn, Hen
bricks, Buchanan, Benton and Davis,
Mr.. Crittenden rose to repel the
argument that there was any thing
remaining due to the new states un-
der the FIVE per cent. fund. 1t was
long since exhausted; and If the ap-
preparation was wanted, it should be
understood that Congress granted it,
not az a measure Of justice, but one
Of mere favor. He thought that the
Senators from the west would fad
j! expedient t. accept the reduced
proposition; and in order that they
should have time to consider the sug-
gestion, he moved to lay the bill on
the table for the present
Before any question vas taken on
the motion,
Mr.. Davis moved an adjournment,
which was agreed 20.
