The ’country within the influence of the Champlain canal, begins, to feel_the beneficial effects of this great improvement, and will rapidly augment its* population, wealth and resources. The tolls o n this canal, the past year, exceed the interest ofthe atnountof its cost, and tfiose tolls will probably be tripled within leu years from this time, • On the completion o f the Erie canal, a vast increase of revenue will commence. T h e , immense, country^ contiguous to the great western hikes, is now only inan incip- iehtstate of improvement.. The boundless forests have hardly begun to recede before the march of human industry. . The population oftbe Uniied States dou bles in 2.5 y ears; -although many o f the,old Settled partsicflntime, to be neatly station ary. This rapid accession to our numbers is principally cfaated b y emigration ; b y the 'establishment of towns, and tillages, and cities* in the wiiderpbss s a n ^ hfter the con nexion o f the canal fifih lake Erie, go part o f th e earth can offer stronger invitations to the Enterprising emigrant,; than the west. A temperate climate, and 'aff uninterrupted hnln of w ater comninnicatiori to the ocean, may be conveyed the productions of distant countries, and of other climes, in return.for the surplus growth o f a prolific soil* are among Its peculiar advantages. An Immense tide of population will set to the west,.and after overspreading the extensive borders o f b u r inlandseaS, it will throw back f t nf \t \ a BQf ^ , Upon bur Inland cities; ^.correspondent re flux.ofvvealth and prosperity, .The western .west...whose sapphfes aud surplus-product .

Sfinutff' any change ip the state o f foreign, naarkets improve the price_ of cur ‘staple commodi- ties, such alterdtion vvill proj'iortionably aug ment the revenue of the canals. And The present, er a Worse* state of .the markets abroad cannot, we think, continue fo'r a long period without producing great ahd benefi cial cbauges, at home j t h ^ q d p s t i y of our fblloW ^citizens cannot he permanently re pressed.

A pot’tipn of our young ihen, instead o f following the plough, will assume the hammer o f the artizan, and the implements o f the manufacturer., The raw* mater'ials o f all* kinds, in which our country so amply abounds,. will be wrought lath the manufactured*.article. -And the great mass of the community, instead of-, beingthelnefe growers of the productions of the eartb, which cannot-find a market at home, and only -^precarious safe at very, reduced prices,Tmfbrelgn countries, will be divided into'different. pursuits, reciprocally supporttug and mutually dependent upon each Otbef. > a 5Si easy intercommunication between din tant parts of the country, through ear riv ers, lakes and canals, and the numerous and valuable water powers, which are every where found, will open new fields for indus try and enterprize. , The immense wealth which accumulate? iff our cities, and which is constantly seeking a n absorption in stocks, or in mere momedTnsfitutions, will be in vested fn richmanufactwingestablishments, diflfnsed through all parts of the. country thereby giving a new* impetus to Avery branch ofindiittry; producing h hoth’e mar ket for our agricultural prpductiffhs/ and creating an- 'internal trade which .Will give an‘ incaiculable increase to tbe reve.nae of the canals? and to the generat prosperity. But? dismissing every expectation o f 'in creased revenue from tin improved state of the markets abroad, or a beneficial change in our pursuits at home, the calcula’tidns of revenue,- which a r e ' above' submitted, are sufficiently-flattering to- the- pride_.p£ this, state. Hitherto, ouc anticipations in-refer ence to the receipt o f tolls, have uniformly fallen short of the reality, as will be, seen ,by. a reference to our former reports, and to the previous receipts of toll., Nor have we any doubt that the same fate, awaits our p ro of the whole mumbpr,whose property will flpat upon it,and when nine tenths of the produce and merchandise which is -ttdospoitef] upon the canal will pay toll, if i is then chargeable, for the use of the whole length of the_libe It is found that the produce which reaches the Hudson by the canals, amq nits to ibndf five times as many tons, ^is the merchandise, &c. which is sent into the country ; and by this ratio, the descending boats carrying 40 tons each,1 will return with a cargo of 8 tons eachi -• k - ■ 1 he above premises will give the foUowing results: • ^ * <■ The amount of produce that would Tons.

We are Satisfied that frauds upon the cat nal revenue, to a considjrable. extent, have been, practised. The cQftipensation provided by la w for weighing the cargoes of boats, is entirely too’ sinali, and onglit to be raised The grqat press business at the offices oi some of the collectors, and. the niulti|)l icitv of articles, frHquenlly. charged with diif*:ren» rptes of toll* filve; often rendered it impossi ble to ascertain\ wit.h exactness, the amount which ought, to be paid.

By.the .aid, liovvey- er? o f the hydrostatic locks, which will here* after be in use, and a Wigilent system of in specting the boats,/ whilst they, are receiving and discharging, their .cargoes,‘’together .with other checks, we trust that we shall, in fu fure,bi; able to detect and prosecute e very a t tempt at.fraud^nd-toenfdrceafuUcpllection >of tolls.
