ing letter Of Hon. J. McRobtrts 10 Governor
Mat erson, on the Improvement OF Illinois River,
lie proposes To take the revenue Of the canal TO
accomplish this inject.
Mr. M:Robcrts says tonnage duties could not
he levied because the {, dtuluce Of 81 prohibit,
it. Now the constitution gives Congress the
power to authorize the SAFES TO levy Tonnage
duties, as has been done in many instances, aud
if the Ordinance Of ST. says that shall No, bc
done, it is uncousiiul,n nal, and Of course NJ
Mcliobcr,'s position on this point is wrong
II use the revenue Of the canal would be to
take 50 much Of the peoples money, which they
have p'd for fesht, and Tonnage duties would
be nothing more ihin thus.
We do not make tbs remark IN opposition to
the proposed plan. Il might I've the mo,tc xpeG
tous, however, We shall speak more fully of hi,
