mslesd That Senator has allowed his good nature 70
be affected by outside influences Alliances and assoca-
sops have given their coiorog to this report Il IL 40
10, the great and important subject involved in the
ysroft 10 IN an insult to- and dstrust Of the intell
eeBee Of the people Of this State. The Committee in
iheir plan. subm. in good faith thst proposition,
believing that its effects VIII afford the necessary
means 10 complete speedily the public works.
Mr. Vanderbilt here took up and renewed in detail
The report presented by Mr.. Pierce. IL utterly per-
yers the whole ecope Of the proposed smendmen and
ssubyerson OF all fair dealing and argument con.
eeas the fact that the AjOIy propose the very first
element OF their plsn 10 submit N the voice Of the peo
pie ali they do. Nothing is left for the uurestricted
bower OF the Legssture-no abrdgement Of the power
stution but IL does propose 70 ask the people viii you
have your Constitution emendedi The Senator from
the Xtb with all hs demagogueisrn, IL afraid the
peopebe Ia AFRAID 10 submit 70 that people that ques
ion will you have your fundamental Law amended
The dernsQOeuem OF this absurd report Is afraid 10
before the people Of this State with this simple question
Wsdom has not left the people OF this STATE nor has
the power of sefgoverment been abrogaed since the
adjournment of the Convention Of l546-,hat blaze
of glory Of which N chael Hofnan was the cen,er.
These men are put precisely in the co1dtion
where they ought 20 stand these " true trlends
Of the Canal" as they cali themselves. The
port embodes all the arguments against the en-
iargement Its well right well for the people that this
thing has been put thus openly forward Evidently the
senator has been looking away from bis own laad TO
the debtburthened countries Of Europe where war has
been upon them almost for centuries lie did not look
at the Eastern Ststes where he might haveeen that all
his theories drawn from oppressed Europe, fell aud
faded when brought TO the of things they
In these States The arguments piled up, fictitious
array Of stastcs, specious and calculated 10 deceive
He has brought in all kinds of debt 10 array in oil its
force his per CAPITA tax which he produces display
impending burden OF debt In he brings the Unted
States debt and most udicrOus of all the municipal
debt and thus he gets the great horror of debt ia all it,
immeDsty. Certainly, it the most extra
ordinary calculation that ever entered into the mind
Of man. For what part Of the State could the i'm
ense humbug Of thsse financial tables have been pro
pared This profound report which, wbsn il
read struck the Senate sghas though the whole Of II
Is not 10 be attributed 20 the Senaori State paper
Bnd such Is 10 be examined. IL is 70 be published
through every street ia the Sate omanatng from the
ene,atesthe dfrec enemies IF The public p0Tks Of this
STATE. IL Is paper iuteIded 10 deceive the people of
this State by false assertions 1t depicts the condition
Of the people Of this State borne down by debt aud
contrasts with the debt of foreign lands The rate of
waeee-te condition Of the laborer-the re ward OF toll
in ali its sad characteristic how fatal his argu
Inent Is the example advanced by the Senator There
Ia enemy in this State which has bauner-a black
baDner-on which il written Taxatonl Taxadon II
10 written every fold 1t Is the banner Of the old
emies of the Canal There will be day of jubilee in
which all may participate, when enlightened policy shall
override this one idea The people Of this State will
never walk in this restricted line in which such walk
The opinions Of the people of this State cannot be
hewn down to line II will be q day Of jubilee when
like dark cloud. these enemies OF the Canals shall
move Off Does this report intend 10 insult the peo.
pie Of this State by the ignorance the fOolery which
Ikens the raising Of the money 10 defray the ex.
penses Of completing the Canals 10 taxi It was
TO raise monument Of glory TO the honor and pros
beTty Of the Statca monument of present greatness
TO show that the age Of emil ghtened policy
that cur people not of those who acted on the
stand still policy-the never 60 ahead policy, but of
those who sought by energetic action the highest hon
or Of their country. The friends and conederates of
the Senator bitterly opposed TO the enlargement of
the Canals OF the Stateto the completion Of the Public
Works This evident from the whole language ofthc
unfair nrgument-the utter unreliable tables which
embodied In the repOTt-whch Is the text DOk. II is
curious fact that when the Public works were com.
menccd the taxation per capita much greater than
1t at presents aud It Is the stronger when is recol
lected that at that time there from
the Canals Mr.. V. cOntended that the plan he
had presented. In no way intenered with the debt
paying policy of the Constitution 1t leaves all that
intact All 1t seeks is 10 procure an appropra-
lion from tho Canal revenue Does this destroy tho
debt paying plant To assert this is absurdty, one
tending directly TO mslead the mind He thought it
proper that there should be for the support Of Gov
ernmont This rs rght-the citizens expect this All
that the plan before the Committee seeks is place
before the people the opportunity to decide what they
will do with the Constitution 10 Is the creation of
ereguty of the people who the Consultation makers
and II IL 10 them that the appeal IL 10 be made 10 that
people which alone has the right and the power 30 mold
that Constitution they choose. The Senator from the
Xth considered the people only right If they walk
the line which he has marked out for themto leave
the Canals in more desperate condition than he found
them In his report Of nine columns he shows by ten
different arguments that the Canals ought not TO be
arged. Mr. V. continued his remarks at length and
without concluding, gave way to motion to report pro
grets.
The Assembly sent for concurrence several
bills among which the pilot bill which was referred
to the Committee Commerce and Navigation to re-
port complete. Recess.
