INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT BILL
Tho appropriation 11I, has passed by llic
cwnmujcc m ure wnoie in trio House or rep
resentmtves, for continuing the internal im.
provemciils df the state, seems to hicct with
jjenernl favor. It was not reached vestet
day on second read,np. previous ordcro liar
Ing occupied tho whole morning 5 but it is
oelioved it will pass both houses this week
by a largo majority, and without any mate
ml alteration.
... The policy of suspending the works for
.time, ami limning appropriations to repairs
merely, has been seiioosly urged both by a
portion of the pross and the legislature.
ue naro umiormlv dissented from this
proposition. Wo have gone and still no

oest system of economy and finance. It i
true the market for the sale of stocks is dull
but that disadvantage is counterbalanced hv.

valuable timber, hsr salt, her water-falls.
her numerous towns, her magnficent cities,
and more magnificent internal improve

public credit, that entitles her to any a
mount of loans sho may reauire. And her
character far good faith and punctual com
pliance with engagements never violated
heretofore in a single Instance is a securi
ty to her loan holders, that in the nature of
things, must insure her the full confidence
of capitalists in every country. If she has
a fault, it is too bravo a spirit of enterprise
inher population. That may load Iter to
undertake too much at once, to trade beyond
hsr present means, relying on her abundant
resources to meet all" emergencies which
m jy not clearly havo been forsccn. Bui if
this be her fault, if accompanied by inflexi'
ble integrity, and a courage that meets diffi
culties when they occur, and never leaves
till they etc overcome. t-Tho consequence
is temporary embarrassment occasionally,
but the.nd is clearly seen to be permanent
prosperity, and power.

wealth must follow, both on the unfinished
actions, and the interest on their cost.
We Una that the objection to the work is
made thaUhe tolls are less than the interest
orMhe public debt, and from this tho argu
ments deduced that Sho whole scheme is
but a source of indebtedness. But the
prajniet and argument arc fallacious since
a Ijjrge potion of canals on the North and
Wf,st.branchcs and the Erie Extension sns
wnfiniahed and unproductive whilst their

The New York Canals are raid officially
to pay, nine- per cent. They aro finished
works. New York although successful in
s great a degree is not content, but deter
mined to onlaro her canals at a vciy heavy
expenditure1, showing not only their utility
but productiveness to tho treas.urv. Ours
have already enhanced the real property of
the State one hundred per cent. They
have effected this advance on proporty
whilst iu an unfinished state, stopping short
of the Lakes; the New York line, and our
own sea port as a water communication.

They were insursed for 80,000; and their
