Axuany; Feb. 6, 1852. The committee engaged in investigating the oanel enlargement lettings, are still actively employed in tak- ing testimony. They have given a construction to the resolution from which they get their jurisdiction, which ‘was unexpected to some of the members of the lest Canal Board, and which has considerably agitated two of the members of the present board who were members of the lant. The committee, it is understood, have assumed the right to and are inquiring into, and putting on their record the history of the action of the late Board and its respective members, from the time they firat com- menced the interesting task of making the contracts; aud the reeuits of this committee’s labors will exhibit to the world an amount of information--showing the ter- giversations, schemings, devisings, bargainings, and con- factions into which they are divided, to obtain the ad- vantage of each other, and secure to itself the power believed to be contained in the control of the work to be done ia the enlargement,euch as it is not the every day luck of the people to get. The Investigatic n was originally urged fprincipally by certain barnburners, who were amongst the most active persons here last winter, in getting up and carrying out the resigning rtampede, by which the canal bill was attempted to be defeated. The resolution directing an investigation was mupposed to confine the committee to an examina- tion into the conduct of tne members of the Board, who notually made the contracts, and consequently was perfectly palatable to the barnburner members of the oid Board. and their friends who had kept the run of the business from itacommencement. But the commit- tee’s constiuction of it haa worked a manifest change in their views respecting the utility of the invostigation, The opinion is getting to prevail very generally with them that slibough there bas been much fraud prac- tired. yet that the matter has been co adroitly managed, that it cannot be aecertained, and that x continuance of the investigation will not be productive of any prac- tics] good, unless by preventing that \pertion’ of our Jature which is engaged in the investigation, from « to their ordivary and legitimate business of mehing new laws for the people ‘The old bunkers, who have all the odium which comos from the actual making of the existing contracts, and who were iu the start the aseailed (partier, take @ some- what different view ofthe subject. They urge Investi- gation, and for the lart few daye have been making their defence, which coneitts of a presentation of the recorded ects of the barnburper members of the last Board. it ceems that at the time, during the progress of this business, there was a combinetion between the whigs sud barnburners of the board for letting the contracts, by which the hunker members of the board, Messrs, Mather and Follett, were wholly excluded from any par- ticipation im, or control over, the distribution of the epolle, This combination, designed by men agracing upon the main principle which divides and aisturbs the politicians of both the whig and democratic parties, op. periticn to slavery in every phase, if jsuecessfal. would undcubtodly have perpetually sealed the bond of union which exiets in feeling, if not in practice, between the free sctlers of beth great parties, and would have placed a power in the hands of those men, under which the bunkers and silver grays would have writhed in vain, Lhave bad extracted from the minutes of the Canal Board the doings of that combination, which are record- ed 28 follows :— On motion of the Attorney General, resolved, that no proposition will be conridered by this board that Is not within ten per cent above and fifteen per cent be- low the estimate of the engineers, of the cost of tae work embraced in the propositions submitted, except in those cates where the estimates shali be shown by the en- giveers’ department to be clearly erroneous, Batunvay, December 20th, 181—Present, the Lieut.
