Speech of MIR. Yancey,
OF ALABAMA,


In the House of Representatives., March, 1s46-On
the bill making appropriations for the completion of
the Cumberland road.
The Cumberland road bill being under considera-
ton in Committee of the Whole the State of the
Union,
Mr.. YANCEY said
M. Chairman-I desire to say few words upon
this bill Its friends urge that it is framed the
basis of contract entered into by the general gov
eminent with the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
and Missouri, and that good faith therefore demands
its passage. | have examined with all the care,
which the brief space allowed since heard it advan-
ced would admit into this alleged contract. with
sincere disposition to it that ''the good faith
of the government should suffer no detriment and
have the conclusion that if this is the only
basis upon which the bill rests, it must fail The good
faith of this government certainly pledged to ap
propriate certain proportion of the net proceeds of
the public lands lying within these States, sold by
Congress, to laying out, and making public roads
leading to- and through them; but it not and is
not now, pledged to indefinite expenditure of the
federal for the purpose of finally completing
these roads, if the proportion originally designed for
them fell short of that object
gsThe act of April &c. 1902, authorizing the people
of Ohio 70 form constitution and State government
for admission into the Union, Submitted this among
other propositions to the convention for its Stree
ceptance or rejection to wit:
"That one-tweneth part Of the net proceeds Of the
iytuB sdiu ,ate soio Dg OOnsfess om ana
after the thirteth day Of June next, after deductng all
expenses incident to the same. shall be applied to the
laying and making public roads, leading from the
nayigabe emptyng into the Atlantic, the Ohio,
to the said State, and through the such roads
be laid OFT under the authority OF Congress, with the
consent Of the several States through which the road
shall pass, &c.
The act of 10Th April 1916, to enable the people
of Indiana Territory form constitution &C., for
admission into the Union made similar proposition
viz

Hail. or RErREs ENrAr1vEs, Apra l5, Is46.

Messrs. Editors-That the people interested in ap-
preparations for the Cumberland Road may see what
can be said in opposition to such appropriations, and
have before them inventory, in part of appropria-
tions, and grants in favor of Western interests
specfuy request you TO publish in the Sentinel from
the Union of last night, the remarks of Mr.. Yancey
1t is right that our people should understand this mat
ter, and that they may be discontinued than
reasons justify. 1t is fact, not more singular than
true that the floors of Congress- the Representa-
tives of each particular interest, and section, seem
to think that particular interest, section, the OBJ
ject of special neglect, and complain accordingly.
We Cumberland Road men among the rest.
also note another article in the Union for your
consideration. Very truly, w. w. WICK.

On the 29th the Senate occupied in the conside-
ration, as in committee of the whole, of the bill
granting alternate sections of land to the State of
Michigan. An interesting and proracted discussion
took place on the general merits of the BILL in which
Messrs. Calhoun, Breese, Niles, Cass, Woodbridge,
and others took part. The bill was reported with
several amendments, which were concurred in and
the bill was ordered to be engrossed for third read
ing by vote of 26 to H.
The House was engaged all day in the considera-
ton of the bill in relation to the Smithsonian institu-
ton. The original bill of MIR. Owen, after having
undergone great amendment, was superseded by the
substitute offered by Mr. Hough; and in that form
was finally passed.
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1846-05-07

These facts, SIR do not seem 10 indicate that Con-
gress has held restrictive and ungenerous course as
regards the new States On the contrary, sir, they
clearly indicate that if as believe, the constitution
has not been violated in order that it might be liberal
it has at least been stretched to the very last tension
which it is capable of bearing, in order to satisfy the
hungry apretites of the 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 before this to observe, within
hundred thousand dollars of the amount received BY
the whole country south of Mason's and Dxons line
Sir, the West has no right to complain. Congress
has been over-beral to her, 1t has not only fulfilled
its bond with her the very letter. but has gorged
her with its treasure freely ayished upon her its pub
lie domain.
For these reasons am opposed to the bill. The
road is not needed for national purposes and If want
ed for local purposes, am not willing TO tax my con-
stituents to make it.

MIR. Ingersoll.-Plenty young enough SIR plenty

Mr.. Schenck rose to a question of privilege.
He desired offer preamble and resolution setting
forth that after the President had declined to answer
the resolution of the House touching this matter Mr.
lngersol states that he has had the DEPART
ment, etc.-therefore that to the department.
etc-therefore that select committee of FIVE be ap-
pointed to ascertain by what means the said Mr.. In
gersoll obtained the information said committee TO
have power to send for persons and papers,
After various Intellectual motions to lay the whole
matter on the table, and decisions upon points of or
der.
Mr.. Petit moved to amend the resolution of Mr..
Schenck, by providing that committee be also ap-
pointed to inquire into the truth of the charges made
by Mr. lngerso against Mr.. Webster, and that the
committee also have power to send for persons and
papers.
The resolution thus amended was adopted, and here
the matter for the present, terminated.

In addition to the above lberal-far too liberal
grants of the public domain to the new States, the
distribution act granted five hundred thousand acres
to many of them.
Five per cent. of the net proceeds of all sales of
public lands within their limits has also been granted
to them.
The sixteenth section of every township in each
State has also been granted to them for purposes of
education.
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1846-05-07

For purposes of internal improvement, the follow
ing sums have also been granted to them since 1880,
exclusive of the Cumberland road appropriations,
and those for the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi
Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1846-05-07

"That five per cent Of the net proceeds Of the lands,
lying within the said Territory, and which shall be sold
by Congress from aud after the first day of December
next after deducng all expenses incident 10 the
shall be reserved for making public roads and canals Of
which three fhs shall be applied TO those objects within
The said State, under the direction Of the Legislature
thereof and wo-fhs to the making of road or roads
leading the said State, under the direction Of Con-
gress."
The act of 18th April. 1918, authorizing the peo-
pie of the Illinois Territory to form constitution,
&C., with view to admission into the Union as
State. has a similar provision.
The act of 9th March, 1920, authorizing the peo-
pie Of Missouri TO do the same has precisely simi-
lar provision.
In the above-rected acts, accepted by the conven-
tons of the four States named are found the clauses
which, it is contendcd contain this contract which
binds Congress to continue the Cumberland road. II
Congress has not already fulfilled those spuations,
the contract, admit, is binding upon US at this mo-
ment But contend that every dollar, ay, and hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars beyond the amount
stipulated to be thus expended has long since been
"Gpplied by Congress ''to the laying and ma king
public roads, leading from the navigabe waters emp
tying into the Atlantic. to the Ohio to the said State
and through the same'' into Indiana, &c.
By reference TO document No. $780, of I'd session of
25th Congress, it viii be found that the 3lst of
December 1897 there had accrued to the four States
in question: for the purposes of building public roads
leading to ard through the same, the sum Of S972,-
21S %; while up to that period there had been APP
proprated to this purpose of the federal treasure
the enormous sum of S6,3lS, 739 50; showing that
the government had exceeded the called for by
'the contract" by S5,345,76l 81!
Gentlemen have said that the most of this sum has
been expended in Virginia and the old States east OF
the Ohio. Not so, sir. The length of the Cumber-
