The CANAL ouEsnos-Aso1nxR INTERESTING 9gAm.
Mr. D. Il. TAYLOR, (dem) Of N. Y, wished to few
for the vote he was about to cast He regretted
that the merits of the question involved by the resolutions
had been brought into discussion His remarks on pre-
peatedy said he in favor of internal improvements
and OF the speedy enlargement Of the canals He had
given the shadow Of reason for supposing he
entertained contrary views. He had been promised
iehtenment the question yesterday and although he
sat with open ears he had received it, There seemed
10 have been rivalry among gentlemen to who would
eulogize the canals most beautifully but nothing pract
cal on the subject had been advanced He had not
abused the time of the House by any needless
pleasantly, although in leisure hours he not
dsinelned to good natured Jest; But the hours
Of legislation would not be triHed away by him.
Mr. I. wished his position to be understood. The gen.
eman from 0swego has expressed his surprise that any
member from iron New York should the canals which S
not come here to legsate for section of the State but
for the whole of it. He would not close his eyes to the
live whether on the sea coast or the lakes. He
claimed for himself and the New York delegation the
honesty representatives from other portions Of
the State He thought it unfair to suspect his motives
We all agreed that there shall be legislation
the suject OF the canals He believed there in
tention ro draw party lines It, He deprecated any
such In voting for bridge Lake Cham
plain at Rouse's Point, some years ago he had been
charged with supporting measure inmical to the in
terests OF New York city. But he believed the bridge
necessary to the welfare of the northern portion Of the
State aud he had voted for It, So strong had been the
opposition to him. that he had given up the idea OF again
returning to New York, and had written farewell to
that city Mr. T. thought there not railroad in
fence in this House against the canals On the contrary
there canal influence against the railroads. We
must meet the question before with fairness. plan
for carrying on public works Is to be adopted
here. But there who cared for stabbng
the Governor than for the public works. The Governor
has laid the whole condition the canals before u.s. and
his message points to enlargement d the canals Il tho
measure Is not directly recommended. II had been
thought by the friends Of the canals that the select
Committee would forward the enlargement; for It was
understood that the Chairman Of tho Canal Committee
in the Senate opposed TO the enlargement He
could not say how the Chairman Of the Canal Committee
in this house stands the question. Mr. hoped the
Joint committee would not comprise more than three
from each house. Should be done he feared the Canal
committee Of this House would be placed on the joint
committee He desired action IN regard to the enlarge
ment 1t should not be suppressed in committee The com
peon Of the canals ought to be made within i've or six
years Do the friends Of the canals wish 70 embarass

acted separately, there might be conflict Of opinion
