proposed to be taken from the treasury of
the Ceueral GOvernment - to construct .a
Work to place the rieftes ;of the west on
the boseut of the, St.La•srence,out of the
reach of our State, and the ; metropplis, of
our. Stale, rather than let a railroad be
constructed
. .through the centre of the
State, that would enrich. the whole.p,eo
ple, and particularly enrich the, city of
Erie and the city'of Philadelphia.
Mr. NICHOLS. Mill the -Senator from
Erie' infortdme how: many votes the prep
osition in the House, at 'Washington . ob
tained 'to build looks around Niagara falls?
If 1 recollect aright, they got very few
votes for the project.
Mr. LOWRY. The vote was light there
but commerce 14 an engine that never tires,
and it is back again, and ifTenosylvania
persists in its mad policy, she will build
that canal, she must :build it.' Pennsylva
nia can no more prevent commerce from
finding an outlet to the seaboard from the
West than she can , dam up Niagara with
a wheelharrow. -
Mr. NICHOLS. My recollection of the
bill spoken of by . the ' Senator, from Erie
was,thisl.ll - ring the rebellion the mouth
of the Mississippi wai blockaded•hy the
Sont - herp Confederacy, and such an out
let was d - esirable to pass the batteries at
New. Orleans. • ,
Mr. LOWRY. the gentleman is, ig
genions but that is all .I can say for him
in wallet:Lion. with this, subject. The
proposition to build a canal around the
falls 9f Niagara is older than the rebellion
and the narrow, suicidal policy of Penn
sylvania-Vile most eloquent tongue that
ever, spoke, or ever will speak in its defence ,
Pennsylvania stands today before the
world a blind giant, trying to commitsui
oide. this : wrong against our State must
smaken the people in the valley,s apd the
monntaini, and I give fa'. notice to the

Grier, had tiecided, for and against both of
them., Neither, air, del. see that it is very
importapt, if we pass a general railroad
law, how "the aluestion is decided. Sena.
kora will you in the nineteenth, centary
I declare that the people of Pittsburg have
not the right to go to Washington arid
Baltimore by . the most direct routs ? if
you so decide you anstain
,the doctrine
that the Pennsylvania Central railroad,to
benefit its stockholders, - bas the right to
central the locomotion of the children of
God at the. expense of the individual.—=
This for the benefit of a corporation! From
any such doctrine, thank •God I stand de
livered: ..I was, in the Senate when the

When,l entered the Senate Chamber
this morning I had no ex'pectation of this
debate. My remarks, as you have readily
discovered,, were - not- prepared. - They
came warm from my heart. You have
heard me, patiently ; for my cause's sake,
and I.will close with ,a single remark. A
general railroad law "would form a more
perfect maims With these., States." The
cause of morality, commerce. and religion
ail plead that
_map ' s inalienable rights shall
opt be !eager disregarded in Pennsylvania.
