THE CANALS.

speech Of Ex-GOvernor Seymour Before the
Buffalo Board Of Trade ON the State Canals.
BUFFALO, Nov. A, 1870.
Pursuant to an invitation Ex-Governor Seymour
addressed the Board OF Trade this morning on the
subject OF the canals. He earnestly disclaimed any
purpose to give party direction in his remarks Re
ferring to the depressed condition OF commerce and
the transportation business he said-
II to-day the abundant grain crop OF the West
could be transported to New York or Europe free OF
cost there would be instant relief from business
torpor. Such relief cannot come; but by lessenIng
the cost OF transportation We can APPROACH that
point. -, II Is narrow spirit thar complains
the West Our true policy is to encourage
the. West, by every MEANS to use our
highways and patronize our workshops. n the
State OF New York could afford to spend hundreds
OF millions in order to strengthen the nation, why
cannot 1t Afford to throw or one million
Of taxation hn to bind these States to.
He regarded with Indignation the proposition to
to make our great public works mere tools with
which to tax intercourse aud raise the prices of
food, fuel, &c. The policy Of low tolls had not been
fairly treated. All policies are necessarily slow in
working out their proper influences. Our canals
were slow In running down, ana their prosperity
commerce has not increased In tonnage, Int there
has been an increase Of Eastern. The canals
arc not carrying rs much wheat as heretOiore: but
this Is not due TO low tolls. II is because another
renee wheat finds cheap shipping to Europe. Con-
gress should change its laws SO that American mer.
chants may be allowed TO put foreign vessels under
the American nag and compete with British vessels
for the carrying trade.
Governor Seymour also spoke in favor of the Fund
ing bill. IL proposes to do for the State no more
than Congress, by reducing taxation, does for the
nation. II ls 10 temporarily tighten the burden Of
