The early completion OF this work 10 the Al

lers with great inleres-more especially So by the
citizens Of Alexandria and of the river counties
oil Virginia and Maryland. The county Of
Hampshire, particularly, may Justly rejoice al
the prospect, developing, as lis will, lis immense
depusiles oil coal and iron.
We understand tha, only eighteen miles oil The
canal remain incomplee-its entire Length from

miles. II is ascenaaed that 81 ,lO0OOO VIII

fore The Virginia Legislature TO guarantee The

no possibility that The State will ever he obliged

abonl $40 100000 in il, and being utterly unable
10 furnish any more money, or 10 give guaran-

The government believe will lose no time in
avaing itself Ct the provisions OF the Three Mil
lion appropriation in cider 10 negotiate peace
with Mexico The preamble OF thai bill is emf
nenlly calculated 10 soolhe the iTrtated vanity OF
the Mexicans and 10 make them appear before the
world as having only seized the hand extended to-
ward them in token OF friendship mad reconcilia-
ton They may now do so without being dis
graced; since the American Congress itself has
expressed its desire OF peace and good fellowship
with our Southern neighbour.
Neither do believe that negotiations are about
TO be commenced; think they are about to be
complcted, and that within reasonable lime.
The rejection OF The Hon. Charles }. lnger-
soil Tor the mission OF France, was owing 10
his unfortunate attack some time since on Mr..
Webster. Mr. Webster himself spoke against
Mr.. lngerso and the Senate thought il was due
to the dignity of lis body that gentleman hav-
INC failed 10 treat one Of is members With pro-
per respect, should be made 10 feel It's collective
yindicliyeness. Tine public may have different
notions on The subject. Mr.. lngersoll's capacity
for Inc office is unquestc ned, hu, his offence in
attacking the character OF The Senate, in the pei
son of one OF its most distinguished members,
seems to have overbalanced il. The Senate vim
dicsted Mr.. Webster, but the vote was a close one

For the Enquirer
LOOK TO THE SENATE"

The constitutional question now before The :;e
nate, relative 10 delegate for The county Of
Alexandria. may be difficult 10 solve, bur,
viewed properly, there can be hui one decision
and that view is presented BY solving this qucs-
lion Can you give alexandria and Fairfax a
delegate Jointly, without violating he Cons'n-
lion which YOU are sworn 10 support The Con-
sliiulion expressly declares that Fairfax shall
have separate delegate. Why, then, interfere
with il, il attended with pa pable violation OF
the Constitution When the Constitution was
formed, no acquisition of additional territory was
anticipated, hence the silence OF The Constitution
relative thereto. You have peimiued Alexan-
dra TO become part OF the Stale, notwilhstand-
ing the silence Of The Constitution; and il
you can receive additional territory, you
can provide for its taxation and representa-
,,on under the same clause Of the Constitution,
without robbng Fairfax OF those rights which
The Constitution clearly guarantees 10 her. To
give Alexandra delegate, is as constitutional
as 10 receive her as additional territory, The Con.
stiuion providing Tor neither; but 10 rob Fairfax
Of her delegate, when The Constitution expressly
gives her one, is so gross and palpabe viola
| lion Of that sacred instrument lha; every assu-
rance is fell that the Senate will not be guilty OF
it, The question: then, presents ITSELF, how is II
10 be ayoided2 Simply by amending he House
bill, ncw before the Senate, b. giving delegate
10 Alexandria, and letting Fairfax a.one, as The
Constitution recognizes her. Do this, and The
difficulty will end As il IS now understood, a
majority Of The House is in favor Of giving Fair.

10 defeat This righteous lax. We cannol doubt
that it would have been emi.ynily popular, be-

have not vet seen The first individual, Wing or
Democrat, in This region, who docs mol earnest

Bul, while We regret the allure by SINGLE
rctc Of So important i measure, We are highly
gralifed that The House ot Representatives re-
Jecled The bill laying additional duties npon many
Of the duliable articles We desire to see The
Tariff Of 1916 have fair play. We believe, with
The ~ Y. Journal Of Comm.Ice, that il ais mo-
numenl OF political sagaciiy and vision" Thus
far il has worked remarkably well. The duties
which have accrued under il are much larger

featuring monopolis.s 10 The sacrifice OF other in

about 10 have fair play. We have all conf
dence that its beneficial operation will work out
its own saleiy-and that The crushing influence
