The bill providing for the Railroad Bridge n
Rouses Point on Lake Cbanpsin, being 4.
special order, came up.
Mr.. DART of St. Lawrence addressed the Con
mittee in favor OF granting power to build u,
bridge. He examined the constitutional qaa
ton, and quoted largely from Report here,ohu
made by John L. Lawrence q New York, Sensx
from New-York in ls4s, whom he eulogized MI
man Of statesman like mind. Mr.. ID. claimedIhe
it was fallaeious to suppose that the bridge CO
iDiure New-York. The equated distance foa
Rouse's Point is GO miles in favor of New.YOa
-Four ifths of the trade will so to New.Yoa
Northern New-York will send it's produce to tsg
great city, and thence she will procure her So
plies He cOntended that the bridge could u
built, ard was proposed 20 be built, so tina. %
detention to navigation would be experienced
that science had arranged all that. Mr. DE
urged that opposition TO the bridge came mostly
from Troy, when the North had built up Troy -
The opposition of that city did not arise irun
pecunisry motives. but from the fear that bridge
over Lake Champlain would be precedent q,
a bridge over the Hudson at Albany Northern
New.York has for years been struggling b pro
cure an outlet for her productions, and il this
boon is refused she cannot but regard II az harsh
treatment. Over 100, 000 people are interested IN
this question, and they ask to have their just de-.
mands
Mr.. CARROLL, of Troy, commenced a reply to
the arguments of Mr.. Dart. He denied that Troy
was alone in its opposition 10 this measure Tie
report of the Committee on Railroads adverse 70
the bridge was the work Of a representation fro.
Canandagua and Cattaraugus localities, FAR awty
from Troy. He had seen with astonishment thu
political feeling had been in meetings held d
reference TO the bridge introduced In msnns
he could not but regard as most extraordinary
and which he had regretted to see. lie hii
higher views in opposition to this ondge tnn
those Of locality. IL was IN behalf OF the nools
the increasing commerce of tho Chemplala-t
commerce growing TO an equality with the Hal
son, that induced him to oppose the proposE
bridge.
Mr.. Crook. of Clinton, said that he representa-
n norton of Northern New. York, and he BELIEVED
that nineteen twentieths of his constituents my
be considered as against the bridge. No queEM
taken and bill postponed to Monday afternoon
The bill providing for the payment of the ust
form companies, and to dispense with miEIs
trainings, was next considered.
Mr.. BRANDRETH urged extreme caution In Fef
ton TO any measure adopted in regard 70 on
militia. Ii was the court of last resort. He ID
not approve Of such a change as would transfer
the defense Of the country from the great body Of
the people to few companies.
Mr.. Mann, of Oneida, remarked that the only
objection for militia now was of domestic cbE
acter II the country was assailed by fOrsig
ooa1try, volunteers enough would rush to !hs
rsscue. AID preserve the laws in Albany Rem
