When the project Of this Cumberland road was
FIRST conceived il was needed as great highway for

tains interviewed between the Ohio valley and the
Atlantic coast Steam, not then in such general use
an now, had not rendered the upper Ohio nasgable;
railroads had not clsmped, as now with iron bands
H. trembling earth; canals did not, as nov, inter-
sect that great valley in every direction The rich
produce Of the soil found its way to market over
rough roads, upon the numbering wagon; and the
traveller when joIted over them at the rate OF sixty
miles day, considered himself as doing good
days work.
How different now The broad Ohio is navga-
ted by hundreds Of floating palaces, propelled against
its current by e-breathing engines The mountains
are pierced BY railroads and canals. Tbess means
Of cheap aud rapid transportation are found
all over the West. The general government has
expended millions of dollars in improving me nsvi,
CATION of western streams in rendering valuable har-
bors upon the lake coast, and building them where
nature has not even indicated the existence OF one;
and has granted large tracts OF land for purposes OF
internal Improvement!
Why, sir, men arc behind the times with this old.
fashioned road. The spirit ofthe age is "onward."
Thirty miles an hour on land, and thousand q
minute on Professor Morso's wires, are deemed but
ordinary speed On this road, my friend from In
diana Mr. owENl informs that, during parts of the
year. he has been able to make but two mihs an
hour on horseback The work is not needed, sir, by
the government II has better use for its funds.

Congress has been liberal and kind to them. By
reference to report, No. 206, Sd session, 9th Con-
gress, will DO found that the following grants Of
land had been made TO new States up to 1889
The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-04-13

These facts, sir, do not seem to indicate that Con-
gress has held restrictive and ungenerous course
regards the new States On the contrary sir
they clearly indicate that, ifas believe the oons-
tuition has not been violated in order that it might
be LIBERAL it has least been stretched to the very
last tension, which it is capable of bearing in
order to satisfy the hungry appetites of the new
States, and particularly Of the West! Why, sir,
the State Of Ohio alone has received in the course
Of the last fifteen years, as have had occasion be-
fore this 10 observe, within two hundred thousand
dollars of the amount received by the whole country
south of Mason's and Dixon's line.
Sir, the West has no right to complain, Con-
gress has been over-libera to her. 1t has not only
fulfilled its bond with her to the very letter. but it
has gorged her with its treasure, freely avished upon
her its public domain.
For these reasons am opposed to this bill. The
road is not needed for national purposes; and if
wanted for local purposes am not willing TO tax
my constituents to make it.

TO such life, As regards this matter, however,
am for my part, perfectly willing leave TO the
sound discretion OF the Executive, who, am sure,
Ieetions that he may make. This provision Of the
bill am perfectly willing should be preserved, OF
modified, to suit the wishes Of the House. My
principal object is to obtain an increase Of the
army commensurate with The extent Of our from
tier, and sufficient to send adequate force to the
southwestern, western, and nortwestern borders,
and to man our contemplated forihcations on the
route to Oregon with number Of troops sufficient
TO insure to the frontier settlements that peace and
security which they have right to demand Of the
government, and which, | am well assured, this
House has every disposition to promote.

FROM YUcATAN. The Mexican schoon-
err Venture arrived at New Orleans on the
Goth inst, from Campeachy. The Yucatan
Congress was still in session. but had not
adopted any further measures for securing
The independence ofthat province from Mex
leo.
TWAS reported at Csmpeachy. lhat''a rev.
olutiOn had broken out in Tobasco.e
The news of the blockade of the mouth OF
the Rio Grande had been received at Cam
peachy, but they had not heard of the actual
commencement Of hos;iities. The Yucate-
Goes are said TO be opposed to rendering any
assistance TO Mexico, in case of a war with
The United States. Great respect is paid TO
American citizens and their property. Sew
eral vessels that recently arrived from the
United States, without having furnished
themselves with triple invoices of their car
goes, which the laws Of Yucatan require,
we're not seized-the proper authorities i'm
mediately gave them permission to discharge
their cargoes.

MEXICAN STATEMENT OF THEIR OWN Loss.
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN-Among the papers
found in the captured effects Of Arista, was
the morning rrlnrn of the Mexican force on
the day Of the battle, which shows the
Strength of the enemy to have exceeded 5000;
though it is not absolutely certain that The
whole of The force was on the United States
bank of the Rio Grandc. Gen. Arista's Aid,
while making arrangements with distngu-
ished officer ofour army for the exchange OF
prisoners and The care OF the wounded. stated
that Mexican loss, in killed on the field
of battle and drowned, was 500. Among the
latter was one of the priests in the train Of
the Mexican army, who persisted iE his flight
in the waters Of the Rio Grande. In this
number, the wounded and prisoners OF course
are not included. Fifteen hundred Mexican
muskets Gall Kings arms, } had been collect
ed by our troops.
The plan Of the camraigH,as developed by
Arista's papers, was for that General, after
demolishing the small force Gen. Taylor, to
over run Texas; and, having effected the
conquest ol'that revolted province, ifi it should
be necessary TO secure the fruits, of victory,
il was arranged thatGen. Busiamente should
bring in reinlorcemerts TO the number OF
5000 upwards, and that subsequently Pare
des himself should march an army Of occu-
patton into The conquered country.-JouT7lal
