In a letter of Mr.. Robert Dale Owen, dated Washing
ton, March 9TH. upon the subject If the completion Of the
Wabash and Erie Canal, some suggestions are made in
relation TO the means which may be derived from that
work TO aid in the liquidation Of eur State Debt. This is
a matter Of great soilcitude TO all who desire to restore
the credit and fair fame of Indiana, and any sug gesiiOn
tending TO that end with )ut the infection Of ruinous
burdens upon the people, mus, be received by all with
qualification. Mr.. Owen observes:
when a man. or a State. is in debt, It is their fir,
aud bounden duty by every honorable means. to endeavor
TO gel cut OF II. We halter ourselves in vain, that we
may ultimately escape The payment of our state Debt. 1t

when they must be repaid. That we have thus created
a burden which may weigh heasiy on the labor f our
children. is one Of the bitierest thoughts connected with
the fragrant mal-adminIstrs,ion, which for years charsc-
tefzed our Stale affairs The honor of our State, then,
and the welfare of those who are coming after Us, a Ite
inpei ativeiy call our attention TO every Just expedlent that
may lessen the future burdens. ia store for ourselves and
our offspring.
In this view, the canal seems to me very preferable to

Canal sold for State bonds, 10 aid in diminishing our

guarded TO secure to the Government her free thorough
fare and to her citizens protection against exIravsgant tolls
Whether this plan were adopted, or that we trust to the
rents aud tolls to pay part of he interest on our public
debt. The completion Of The canal to Evansville is equally
important. 1t would add much TO its value, if we found
opportunity to sell 1t; or much TO It's probable rent and
tolls It We decl ed 10 retain II in our own hands. But
the Improvement OF the river, though of vast importance
to those residing on It's bank, could not. that zee. be
