Mayhap-we did, though the
Richmond Enquirer probably did not ob
tain the lnhroiation (rom the gentleman
himself. But ;f so or not, that Speech
and the vote bv which it was followed,
first oDened our eves to the extent of the
organization" which is now not only not
denied but boasted of. That vte was a
better test of the " organi'a-ation" than any
other thine: could well have betn : it was
extorted, if we may say so, from reluctant

of the power of a eoncentiation of senii-

, 1 i h t, o t he r w t se t ha n w e often accuse the
Enquirer iteff of being operated upon by
prejudice in a manner vvnicn may or may
not operate to the imblic iniury, we w;ll
confront ourselves with live votes of those
gentlemen oq. three leading questions o!
the lastsesion, which were as follows :
The first in the order of time, (Keb. : 12)
wa.-i that, upon the"motion ot Mr. Benton
ileclaring if 'to be inexpedient to send a
Minister to Tat hbava in the place of Mr
Andeiisov, leceaed. On that question
the affirmative votes were as below.
The second in order of time (Feb. 128)
was that upon Ihe choice of Printer to the
Senate, upon which the names stated be-
Jow are admitted by the Mercury iq have
voted for the
Editor of th e Tel egra ph .
Thirdly on
the 5d of March, after a bit
ter Speech from Mr. Tazewell, the Co
lonial-Trade Bill was rejected by the dis
agreement to ihe ameiadoient of the House
of Representatives thereto. The gentle
men .'named below voted, against that a
memlment. ' ' '
The votes on these questions (excluding
the names of Senators who did not vote for
either of the Candidates for Printer, thai
being now acknowledged to have been the
test ot fc true men" stood as tollows :
It has been loudly rumotired ( and we have

The honorable Senators, in their several
votes, doubtless acted conscientiously i arid
in their own. view of the matter,: with a
strict regard to jlhe public inteVesKv AH,
that we contend for, is. that these votes
ob i he three .most 1 ryi n qu est ions . of the
Session, could, not all be , thrown,, so. by iic
cidont, ami that it is therefore. mori jtfra
ted as fir as circumstantial testimony can

a distinct understanding and a commu nity

Senator? - . ;. ? ' .

cular occasion, any thing like feeling is

be:
traved 6v us, it is only when, bv circum
stances, we .are released from the restraint
which wis habitually impose upon ourselves
in addressing the public. It was not, un
der the influence of arty thing Ukeapger
oi ill temper, that we opened this subject.,
It was under a deep! conviction of the duty
of rousing the attention of the Peopl to
the schemes for managing their concerns,
before their liberties! were rapt from them
By their liberties, of cotirse, we do' not
mean their freedom from personal restrain
or from privation of property, but the liber

on the principle of the public interest.
insted of the principle of pro or con the
Administration, upon which it appears
to us, some questions had been decided
during the late Sssin of Congress. 1
To what we have had to say, on this sub
ject, w;hen nothing better could be answer
ed, it has been cast in our teeth, that! we
have " thrown off the mask," and comejouf
for the Administration. Such Is the sub
stance of the language of. the Charleston
Mercury. With regard to the Adminis
tration, we are for it thus far, and no far
ther : we shall not fail to treat With res
pect these of its : measures) i which Welap
prove, and we shall take especial care not
to denounce measures merely because thev
are supposed to -have the approbation of
the Executive. We have spoken this lan
guage uniformly, in public anil in pri- ate.
There lives not the man who can deny it;
or trulv attribute to us a different senti
ment ; and we do not hesitate to avow, that
if General -Jackson had succeeded to the
Presidency, instead of Mr.- Adam,: we
should have given his administration ! the
&me degree of support, had he pursued the
same national policy, and would not have
aided in preventing his re-election, to have
put in any other man in the Union. Ve
respected the course of the Opposition,! so
long as we could believe it fair and Cor
rect ; we still respect personally most of
those who compose it, and none more than
some whose public course demands, in onr
opinion, marked disapprobation. Wb

Ave see the same cause for expressing i
is-
approbation of. the conduct ol the Fxecu
tive, it shall not be spared. - , -Our.
constant Naders will, we think.

If we co!d be satisfied that the public '.in

The work first presented in the Renort. is the
proposed canal communication Setveen the tide
water of the Potomac, and the Ohio rtver. ; This
connexion of the central States with the great
streams of the West,, appears, to have, engaged
attention, ever since our adventurous population
began to pass the Allegany ridge. While we
were yet - colonies, and: the seereeated inhabi
tants beyond t" at barrier qou Id sen reply have
assumed 3he t character of settlements , General
Washington, toen ail undistinguished, individual,
obtained an act of the , Virginia. Legislature, to
improve ;the navigation of thePotomac, I withU

whichVmightbind them .by .inierest,, as wellas

populous and growing States south of Ohio, and
even a part of the State of Ohio itself, naturally
seek.the 'Atkntic States through, the 'Allegany
ridge, & must form such a connexion with them.
Their trade cannot be lured down the Mississip

Ifj in estimating the, importance of this central
Communication; we extend our views beyond
the season of peace, "and regard its utility under
many of the vicissitudes, to which a nation is
subjected, we shall find that there can be n
work in our country so absolutely essential to its
welfare. We have been involved in Wars and
may be involved in them' again. Under such a
calamity, the commerce of the Gulf oP Mexico,
being the most tangible, would probably be the
first to suffer, and the supply of the -West, by
the way of New-Orleans, might be in a great
measiire cut off. And if the hostility were with
Great Britain, which shares with ds the domin
ion over Lake Erie, even the New York chain of
connexion with the West might be sevred.
But the proposed cahai through the Allegany
ridge, funning through the heart of the couptry,
will open a j?ecure and almost intangible, avenue"
for commercial intercourse; hot Only with the
states conterminous with that ridge, but with
the whole western country. And as soon as the
proposed canal navigation along the sea board
shall be completed, this intercourse m.iy embrace'
nearly the whole maritime frontier.
There can have been but little or no question,
during some years past, that the trade which na.
turalh passes across the Allegany mountains; is.
sufficient to repay, in due time, tne expense c
constructing the proposed canal. Satisfactory
calculations have been' made, which show, that

would yeild-a toll equarto the interest of a sum
quite adequate to complete such a work. And
the same calculations go to prove, that the pro
bable difference in h cost of the transportation
would he as one to twenty Th only questions
then, appear to be, Can the means be obtained?
and Where is the most eligible route f : We con
fidently trust, that the meansas they exist in the
country, will be forthcoming, as soon a the sur
veys shall, have definitively settled Upon the best
rute. The practicability of the route has alrea-.
dy been satisfactorily determined, - and where
any doubt remains ps to part of the course, it
ai ises only from the difficulty of selecting the best
out of many ; , . .!
We cannot follow the Board through all the
scientific and minute details of their Report.-
There appears to be no alternative, as to the
course of the canal from tide water to the summit
level, and that it mustTiecesfcarily conform to the
windings of the, Potomac,'hich has sought out
and followed down the only line of declivity, in
that section, which runs, from that elevation to
the base of the mountains. In one' instance," it
has broken thmur.h a barrier, which the labor of
man might vainly have aftempted to surmount or
remove.- The passage of the confluent streams
of the Potomac and the Senando:vh, through the
Blue ridge, Bo'graphically described b, Mr. Jef
ferson, in his Not"s on Virginia," is familiar ta
every reader. There can be no greater triumph
of science, than the calmness and certainty with
which it traces up its plan through this formida
ble gap, unless it be the consummation of the
work, when we .sh.dl behold a regulatd stream
gliding imperturbMbly along the mgfred and pre
cipitous banks of a powerful river, which rushes
over, the prostrate mountains, in all the wihlness
ot the elements unchained... ,
On attaining the summit level, many routes,
present themselves, all of which, -that hold out
any promise, have been surveyed with skdful
minuteness. The Board sum up their remarks
on all those various routes, with the observation,
that the important advantages of a greater sup
ply of water, by a length shorter by nine miles,
of a tunnel shorter hy two and a half miles, ren
der th- Deep Creek route superior to the other"
though the final surveys alone cait settle that
point, yet at this stage of our operations we wow Id
recommend that ' route in preference. , This
route is forty-one miles and seven hundred and
eighteen yards On .the summit level,. h a tun
nel a mil and one-third in length, through a ridge
two hundred and twenty-seven feet high," and
has a deep cuttingfof nearly six miles. The Tun
nelling required on the other routes, varies from
the above amount to more than five miles. ; It is
ascertained that this route has an abundauce of
water. "' . '. ... . f - ,. ...
The total length of the proposed canal, from
the tide water of the Potomac to Pittsburg, is
computed tobe three" hundred and fifty miles
and a half. The toal risejon the eastern side, is
computed to be 2226 feet ; the total descent
on the western s'dc,' at 1543 feet ; makiiyr an
ag'gTCffate i'of ruse and descent of 38Sr fert. which
is the total of lockage. This amount of lockage,
is cousideiably greater.' it is believed," than that
of any other canal extant That of the Erie ca
rial is smsll in comparison,' vThe tunnel,' howe
ver, is but a little more than a third as lone-as
th Huddersfield tunnel m England.,' . .i
