Mr.. McLANE, of Maryland, denied that this
was sectional measure; said that the appropria-
tions nearly equal between the North and the
South, and that it had never entered into his mind
to calculate how it should be constructed to COM
mand the most votes. But, since his attention had
been called to the subject, he had ascertaned that
the appropriations for the southern part of the
country are larger, in view of the relative popua-
ton and extent of seacoast and water Communica-
ton, than those for the North.

BELL refuted the charge that this was a great
measure Of corruption; and remarks were made on
