Tie Committee Of the Whole considered and re-
ported progress on the bill to facilitate the con
structOn Of the Albaug and Susquebanoa Railroad.
This bll proposes on appropriation OF 500 OtO To
the Tosd In question 500 900 t. Oe paid gu the
copl,, ton OF 30 miles 81 the road commencing Al
the City Cf Albany, and the remainder on the COM
pleton Of 60 miles of the road The line of this
read extends from Albany 10 BInghanton, running
through tie counties of Albany Schenectady,
Schohsrie Oisrgo, Delaware. and BIOome. Mr..
LAMONT Of ScbOharle made an elaborate and able
speech ia support of the bill, and was followed by
Mr. LAW of Delaware on the same side. Mr..
MORRIS opposed the bill as unconstitutional, and
Mr. sPENCtR Of New-Yoik replied IN behalf OF
the appropriation.
TIE friends of this bill base their claims for an
appropriation ou the ground that while the people
along the line Of the proposed road, especially IN
/ Schoharie and OisegO Counties, have paid their
quota of tax TOWARD the State Works of Public I'M
! proyemeut. sno the three millions or more which
/ were given 70 the Erie Railroad they have never
received any benefit from such State bounty. They
argue with considerable force that the State im-
Uroyemeut to construct which they have been taxed
| Ere Canal and Erie Rallroad) have actually dam
| need their portion of the State by bringing the
lshds Of the western part Of this State, aud even
the far West into successful competition with the

Of our great city IL is said, and presume correctly
that IL costs less ~ transport barrel OF upur or
| bushr of wheat from Chicago to New-fork. than
il DOE, 10 axe such flour or wheat from the interior
| Of Otsego or Schohsrie to the same market
! Another point urged by the friends of this appro-
pristI0n is that by assisting to complete this road
and thus opening up and developing the Resources
| of portion of the State equal m extent to Mas
| sschu.etts. The State will be amply repaid for the
! OUTLAY In the increased amount of annual tax which
il Will receive from the appreciation of real estate
| along the line of such road, and 1t seems TO me
! that they make out IN equity quite strong case.
| The opponents Of the bill oppose It as unc0nsttu-
/ fiona and a.hO, because the treasury Is empty.
