si~sssertaliaing Congress.

The Legislature, as = body, is by no
means modest, in asking Congress for mail
routes and appropriations Of money for
roads, bridges, and other internal improve
ments In the present depleted state Of the
National Treasury, it is useless to expect
that Congress will give any attention to
memorials involving the outlay of money /;
and for this reason, il not on the ground Of
good policy, the Legislature ought to con-
slider well the necessity for passing so many
memorials. BY the Enabling Act, Congress
has pledged itself to give the State five per
centum Of the land sales within tho State
for works Of internal improvement /; and it
is not probable that they will agree to any
more appropriations at present While it
may be very good thing to have Congress
help US in our starting out, We think that
body should only be approached as the fast
young man solicits favors from his pater'
nal relative, just when the old gentleman
has his stomach full.
Az for the mail routes, the Postmaster
General has increased the number OF mail
routes in this State one hundred this year ;
and when the public convenience will be
subserved, and the postmasters on the line
and settlers petition directly to the Post
master General, they will be Us likely to re-
ceive the attention of that officer, as though
they went through the circumiocution offices
