INTERNAL IHPRovEAENT.-The Albany Argus
persevcres in ii. vain attempt fasen on the 's
party the sole responsibility of pressing our Internal
Improvements to their present condition. DeH'cf-
Gus as is tha, paper in the science OF nys''c''oh'
it canHot succeed here The case IS 100 PLAN.
The Argus admits, lst, that all these Canals were
commenced while its party held undivided power
in ,be s,a,e Couucis--when there were hardly
dozen Nhigs in the Legisiature-but contends that
j, was their intention to rrosecate these works only
so fa,, a. the surplus revenue of the Erie Canal
would defray the cost-that is, complete the Erie
Enlargement about the year 1907 But the Argus
is constrained to admit, 2dly, that tho new i'm
pulse" which has led to the increasing of debt
for the more speedy completion OF these works was
given at the session Of 1873, when Mr.. Ruggles
rnadc his celebrated Report. At that sine, the
broad ground was distinctly assumed and acted on
that the Erie Enlargement ought to be completed
in five years. BY whom was this donel Let the
Argus answer: "TAe Senate ,cas Democratic
1ut Mat dOdy deferred To tie opinion Of The hun
dred Whig Members Of he Asscmbiy."
We fest the case on this admission. 1t covers
the whcIo ground OF the 80 Senators but 10 were
Wigs. No measure could be adopted which did
not meet the appreciation of Gov. Marcy and the
Van Buren Senate. These gentlemen were very
clear Of deterring to the Wings on any point in
regard to which they did not concur with them.
Witaess the many bills passed by the House, bu;
rejected by the Senate Witness the refusal to
permit, the choice of u S. Senator.
Now be it understood that We do not seek to
evade our share of the responsibility in this mat
ter. In our advocacy of the vigorous presecu-
tion Of tho State Works, the more speedy en-
lsrgemcnt' of the Grand Canal, we are 'un.
changed But We protest against the conduct OF
'hst journal and that party which dared not take
the responsibility of opposing these enterprises
when commenced, but which now seeks to for
swear them. The Wing party has held one uni
form, consistent course this subject, and with
pride do we contrast it with the shutting of their
opponents. Shadows may rest for the moment
upon the great cause of Internal Improvement,
but in the end it will surely vindicac its scadlas
friends and copiound its bush-igh,iug opponents,
as it did in the day of De VIII Clinton.
The Argus chuckles over the failure Of two short
Railroads, which it alleges '' have thrown on the
:" Treasury debt of s515, 200, which will be
" dead loss to the People" We regret this fail
ure; but the amount of loss to the Treasury, if
there be any, is grossly ovestnted. 1t is not pos
siblc that the Railroads, one of them completed
and in operation, should bring something, il
sold upon the States lien.-And now we ask the
senior Editor of the Argus if he did not himSeit
use his influence toiA the Van Buren Members oj
tie Legislature IN jaUor Of the loan cf State
Credit TO ono Of Mese Ratiroads-to wit, the
Ca,ski and Canajoharc? Bear in mind that in
authorizing these Loans the Van Buren, Senate
deferred to the Wing Assembly or in plain
English, one party is just as much responsible as
the other.
The Argus reitera,es its charge that the Credit
of the State has been embarrassed by Whig ex
travngance; but it is careful not TO notice
proofs that State Credit generally y-and of
that of New York-has been shaken and depressed
by the panic reports and threats of repudaion of
Young, Hoffman & Co. and the unprinciplcd con-
duct Of the Loco-Focos of Mississippi Florida,
&c BY its silence these points, tho Argus
tacitly pleads guilty. Let it teach its party hon
es,y, and the Credit of Ncw-Yorl; will stand unm-
paired.
