CUMBERLAND ROAD.
Resolutions then being IN oTcer,
The SPEAKER stated that the following resolution
Tcred by MIR RARIDEs, on Thursday last, would come
E up first: J.
instructed TO inquire into the expectancy oil setting
apart three hundred thousand dollars per annum OF the
proceeds of the public lands for the continuation OF me
Cumberland Road in Ohio TO its western termination,
to be constructed in continuous line IRON East 70
West and OF distributing the residue OF The SAID pro.
cecds among the several States upon the principle OF
what is called Mr. Clay land BILL taking the census OF
lS40 as the basis of the distribution.
The question pending was the motion OF DIR ituo-
bard to lay the resolution the table, and on winch
the yeas and nays had been ordered
The yeas and nays were then taken, and weTe-yeas
los, nays 81.
So the resolution was laid on the table.
MIR. PROFIT asked leave to submit the following
resolution
Resolred, That the Committee of Ways and Means
be instructed 10 inquire into the expedency OF report
ing bill providing for the expenditure of IN
each Of the States Of Ohio Indiana and Illinois, du-
ring the year l-5I, on the Cumberland road
Il Mr. r then, in very animated manner, foreold the
drefi,I consequences which he had alleged would
sue in case the House should make the appropra-
ton lie declared that the eight States OF the North
western Territory would unite, and in their indgna-
ton would make their way INTO the hall to Obtain their
rights by force He could not conceive why the people
Of that part Of the Union should be treated so. The
South got appropriations for its Dismal SwumPs and
every tlinr else; so also did the North bur as for his
people and those Of the other Northwestern States, they
could obtain nothing Why, said he are the people Of
the West to be thus tramped upon: Mr.. 7. also dis
courscd on the grievances Of the Western people ars
ing from other causes. He then touched upon nullif
cation, the tariff question, etc, and concluded by giving
tho House solemn warning, that IN case the resolution
should be rejected tic people of the Northwest would
rise in their might, when their Indignation would be an
all-consumno blaze without particle of smoke, which
should destroy all that was not right.
| Mr.. WIN COST JOHNSON, in the course OF some
very humorous remarks in reply to the member from
Indiana suggested to him that the true and only rea
son why the Cumberland road had not been completed
was that it had been begun at the wrong end. Inc
| ripht end was in Maryland, between Rockville ana
Frcdericktown; md until the road should be con-
mcnced in that quarter, the gentleman, with all the
people Of the West at his heels, would never be a>e
to obtain an appropriation. Mr.. j. concluded by ak
nr the gentleman 10 accept modification OF the re-
solution appropruting $4,000 for that portion OF he
| Cumberland road in the State OF Maryland between
Rockville and the Monocacy.
Mr. PROFFlT after brief rejonder, accepted The
| modification.
| Mr. HUBBARD afraid the gentleman from In
diana was going the wrong way 10 work in order toob-
tain money for his State Mr. ii. said that so lr as
his own district was concerned, he sure that no.
thing could be obtained By threats. II the gentleman
and his people wanted money, let them open tade
with the Southwest when, If they made TAR bargains,
there would be objection TO taking their pork and
whiskey for produce That, in his opinion, woue be
far more earcual mode than bringing greatarmy
to enter the hall for the purpose Of obtaining wha they
wanted by force lie would repeat let the gentle nan
constituents open trade, and far his disri,t
concerned he was sure they would be ready 10 swap
with them.
The question being on the resolution as modified,
Mr.. HUBBARD moved 10 lay it on the tabc; on
which motion the yeas and nays were demanded and
ordered
Mr. HUBBARD then Withdrew his motion.
| MIR. WISE renewed it.
