himself, whether it would bexlTective un
der any circumstances, he had taken from
the ariimal some worms after his death,
and immersed them in a cup of the- spirit,

to which they immediately attached themf'
selves, and adhered; so firmly as to be
drawn from the; vessel without loosing

to"this House at the First Session of the
Nineteenth Congress. And the first in
order is its Commercial advantage.
r Vlt has been gravely maintained, that this
road is all important as a hue of inter-
extrtion to erect to his meraorv, and which
iio doubt he had fondly hoped would trans
mit his name down to the .latest posterity,
must fall, and must give place to the su
perior improvement of rail-roads. Sir, I .
could sympathize with that gentleman, if
1 did not believe that a' remedy is within
his reach ; that is, Sir,to give up his ex
ploded canal system, and embcncc the rail-
road plan ; and a most happy opportunity
now awaits him. Let him unite the inter
est of the company over which he how
presides with that of the Baltimore - and .
Ohio rail-road company, and by an unity
of action and community of feeling, they
will find their interests mutually advan- .
ced, and the most happy results growing
out of the arrangement. 1 Lope 1 thoU 7
be pardoned for this digression. But let
me ask the honorable chairman who in- "
troduccd this bill (Mr. Hemphill) how he
can reconcile it to his vast notions of grand"
and magnificicnt internal improvements,
and the resources and capacity of thbGo-,
vcrhment to" prosecute them, to an inde
finite extent; as he set forth in his speech?
But w hat is more? Sir, how cahlie recon
cileit to himself to fall, so far behind the ad-.
- vauce of the age in improvement ,as to pro
pose 2l" earthen road as a means tofncil-"
tale commerce and'pruniote the "common 4
defence and gencralwclfarc V Now, Sir, '
if thegentleman had'proposed the con
struction of a rail-road, on some plan com
mensurate with the greatness and, resour
ces of this Nation, there would have been
some plausibility in his arguments. But
upon what have We heard his Wautiful
theories and high" wrought figures exhaus- -ted
I Why, "Sir, upon an earthen rocd-'
a road of mud liable to be washed by ev
en' shower, and subject to theTicissitudcs
and casualitics incident to every season. -"Next
in order ar: 'Political consid
erations." I sbvi'ibe" brief upon this brauch
of the sublet, Sir, as there is only one
proniuant consideration, 111 a political
V'oint of view, which can b urgedwhich
is, that roads and canals will operate-"as,
bonds of union, and more strongly cement
us together, and prevent a falling ofi of
the parts. Without stopping . to contro
vert the correctness of. the position, it cer
tainly presupposes one of two things ; ei
