this character, as the haods Of the Govern
asnsi No. sir: they have been taught to vene-
ate its JUSTICE and admire its stable pursuit Of
u the great measures to which iss s0vereien faith
as been committed by act or deed. Let them
'ot be disappointed in this measure. !
One other suggestion: think for the minute OF
he relation this work has ever been made 10
instead Of the State Governments and the people |
+ the States through which il passes. When |
vas the interest, the purse, cost Of tho States
consulted in its location, its commencement, ter
nination, Or construction Not at all. IL has !
been prosecuted thus far exclusively with view |
10 the business and subjects in the care and keep
ing Of the General Government. Tho interest
II the States through which j. passes has upon
10 occasion been consulted in any thing in rela-
tioa to II, ~ would have been had its location
and construction devolved originally upon the
States. And now, sir, would 1t DO common JUS
tice for the United States to abandoa it to the
States in it, unfinished condition, still retaining
extensive privileges and immunities in its use,
and expect the States to finish IL according the
original plan, and maintain and keep it up for the
common use Of each3 Mr.. r. said he considered
such q proposition disrepusable To the General
Government. and should not for . moment be on
tertained by Congress; and to abandon the road
now TO ruin, or to permit operations to be sus-
pended upon il, would show an irresolutioa and
0Omb0l9I68VOf0
ment an the prosecution Of . great national OBJ
ject, unworthy Of the people they represent.
He would not for . moment entertain such an
idea, % humiliating aud 30 fsaught with mischief
to the prospects Of those who have expended their
oil upon tho margin Of that road, in the coat
dence that the Government was not alluring
them to poverty and destruction. He would not
entertain the idea, for . moment, that the i'm
mense treasure already expended, the effect Of
which il, in the present condition Of the road, to
make il worse than before il was began, shOnld
DO wasted, and that tho stone and other ma
terials now lying upon its margin, prepared for
those permanent superssrucsures like those which
ornament 1t in the old States, should be set 1T
nouRht and waste. He importuned Congress to
act speedily and literally upon this measure
Such . course would, no said, DO worthy Of the
great and good spirits who had projected this
work and bequeathed it to the West the means
Of commerce and communion with their Atlantic
friends.
Mr. r. said he had now urged upon the House
oil the considerations which occurred to him to
induce its speedy and liberal action; and had only
to say further, that both justice and economy re-
quire = speedy and liberal appropsiatioa for this
work.
