The Following remarks ikeir mude in the House, the 15th inst., by Mr. WILKINS. On v.,rreolutiun for the improvement of the Western Rivers:— • • Mr. WlT...Kiss had no wish to detain the House by any thing like rt general speech op }he subject inspliierl in the resolution; kit merely desired to submit one or two points for the consideration of gentlemen before they voted on the motion to,recorusider. Interretqtanti. deeply interested, a 3 t he . West vas in,the - adot . .t.arn some proper measure on the subject of imptoting means of navigation, he should have preferred that the gentlemen from Kentucky (Mr. Thompson,) had not. thus prematurely sought to forte the question on the House: he had rather that the friends of the measure should have waited for the regular time; iadien ale pro-, position would come up fairly, and a motion could ba. brought for appropriating a specific sum for improving the navigation of the Mississippi and its tributary The gentleman, in the courso of is i-emailts, had re-. .i . red to a large team vessel built by guyernrrientv at Pittsburgh, fur ocean service. He VITIS glad he had, done so, for that very fact seemed, in his view, satisfac torily to settle the ques:tion as to the rh4ht . of C9ngret.s. to appropriate fur the Ohio and Mississippi as public, national highways. The boat referred . to wa.s an iron steamer of a thuusend tons burden, built fur the ter. %ice of the -government, and the mere fact was worth a thousand abstract arguments to put at rest the con stitutional doubt which appeared to haunt the minds of certain gentlemen. The erection of such a vessel at the very head of navigation on the Ohio, proclaiined in language which was too plain to be misunderstood that the waters of that river constituted the national high-. was. Steam vessels had already been built there for the revenue service, both on the lakes and en the gulf,' but This was one for ocean service. Yes: and the Ohio river led us directly and as uninterruptedly (no, not ar, present as uninterruptedly) to the ocean as the way to the ocean was open front the pert of New York this bad been done under sanction of the House, for bad . . it not beer.',Congress could have arrested the work: . and he repeated the position that this Was oufEcient to settle the question of national highway.. . . .. . The mother of States, (es the gentleman fern Vir-, ginia had termed his native State.) and Mr. W. *ould add, the mother of statesmen, had once been the own: er of the Ohio rivet. By the act of cession, in March,: 1784, she gave all that region to the General Govern ment reserving, however, to herself the jurisditoism lof the northwest Lank. and also. of certain Islands lye ' ing in the river, but she give the stream itself as al I' higl:Vay," eo ttomitte, to the citizens of the United. States, to whom it passed by that act. Thus belonging Ito the nation, as national property it came, of course,. lunder the present cafe of Congress. By that maiiiTi -1 cent gift from the " mother of States," it fell exclusive -Ilc under Congressional control. Neither Ohio, which }lay on the one side. nor Vitginia, which lay' On the i other, would spend their money on a stream over which they had no control and no jurisdiction. They bed I no power to suspend or interrupt the navigatiqn for 4 moment lo• works to improve-the river's bed: they. I could not lay a stone, they might not so much as case I one pebble, into the channel of that stream. It was' not theirs. The State of Pennsylvania had once op's' prepriated $2,000 to pay for a reconn"issance of a, portion of the river, and had afterwards given $15.000 to be expended on improving tie navigation, but with ; in her own limits exclusively, she Legislature declar -1 mg. in the eery act of approprimiori. that she could ton go any further. Afterwards. by indulgence of both the States of Ohio and Virginia, she did eittend !ha Ipplication of that sum one hundred Miles down the river. as far as Irhoeline, het it was in removing drift; ,• wood and things of "rat nature. I Mr. W. would state a fact or two more. A larger. 4 ship, called the General Butler, (after the hero of that I.name,so well known in our mil:tare: history.) had beery huiltat Pittsburgh fir ocean ser. ice ; she had passed down the Ohio and Missi-sipei rivers and gone to sea ; she afterwards passed up the Mediterranean, and than 1 'renter' Liverpool. But John Bull was puzzled greats: Iy to discover where the port of Pittsburgh was, frnn which her papers stated her to have cleared. His` Solornons of the custom-house resorted to their maps , maim length discovered that there was indeed a place in America celled Pittsburgh, but it was nearly three thouard miles from the ocean, and t h e y wisely c o n . cludeet that it Was a Yankee humbug. De wished to add a word by Way of correctMg slid ' statement of the honorable gcutleman from New York. IMei the way_ (Mr. BAIINARD) as to the number 4 boats navigating the Ohio en 111ississiiipi, Of the total number he confessed with shame leo ignhiancet but be could state that there had Within, the year 1843 been Constructed at Pitealegrgh aloha thirty-tie steamboats, at a cost of $783.000, and of an ;Mee- . gate tonnage which he was afraid to state. All these. had been built to be used on OA great highway of waters from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. , .. This terrible recent disaster, only three miles below St Louis, and in which there had been such a horribl e sacrifice of human life, seemed :it least to have awe -ketwel the attention of gentlemen to the importance of the subject now pressed upon them. The people of the West asked not of the House to save them from the storms of heaven; these no human power could a vert: but to rescue them from those too often fetal dam geri arising from huge floating trees, or trees partial's' embedded in the bottom of the river, but presentee.; the ends of their limiting trunks directly in the path of the vesiel, technically called "swis," rail from their vibratory motion "sawyers," and from the rocks a hi, Ft' in some places encumbers the channel itself. Front this danger Congress could, in a great measure,resen them. It was easy for gentlemen seated here in their, arm-chairs, reposing on soft cushicni, and surrounded on ever; side by more of comfort and rini'gnificenco than any legislaters in the world beside, to engage hi, cold and icy debate about the subtleties of constitnieral poWeti, while such appalling disasters, such sonl-bar: rowing scenes as that which had h 3 opened ocarStLoni=: were every day's occurrence, Was it not a Sad ran tion that the vessel which had plunged so many human. beings into death had been destroyed by a single log of . wood, which a snag boat could have cut off in a few seconds ? He would add but one word, and this he addressed to the...strict conatructionisut who cemposed the committee of kVays and Means. . Mr J. P. INGERSOLL interposing.

The country wan-'in safety.— They had the great charter of its lihert: they had all its invaluable institutions. These were not to be pro vided.
