 WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1854.

 The Senate has been engaged quite all of this .day's session in forming it's Commit tees, which do not materially differ from what they were the last session. There lls nothing important to remark upon them that notice at present.

 The vote in the House relative to road contemplated, or the improvement in road from Louisville, Ky, to NashviIle,s Tenn, will attract the attention of your Western readers. The West, to use vulgar but expressive phrase, has brought its pigs 10 a fine market. The West overthrow an ad- ministration, that of J. Q. Adams, which did wonders for 1t, and built up one which does nothing for 1t. The West, with is noble rivers, its broad expanse of territory, its young but thriving population re- sources immense, but with little means of developing them, now sees an end of all ap fpropriations for Internal Improvements. We, of the Northern and Middle States, of course, do not care, speaking as individuals only, and con6ning our views to our fire sides. We have our appropriations for our ! rivers that flow directly into the Atlantic, with ports of entry in abundance upon them. Money in abundance we have for forts, fortresses, navy yards, dry docks, light houses, SSe. which puts jobs and profit into the hands of our laboring men. Why should We complain! Ne have spirit, en- terprse and capital enough at our own doors for almost all our own Improvements

 Ibe West IS the sufferer, aud we are the gathers. 1t 4 es; made the the President, and the East enjoys his kindness. Expen- ses inaamerable# lie creates-- offices and of ficers he doubles in nuinber-salaries thick en upon iarles-the outgolngs of the 1 Treasury are almost twice as much as they were-but the West profits nothing. They pay the fiddler. and the blank paper and 1 twine men of the North, the Reesides and Isaac Hills, the Albany Regency, with a score of Safety Fund Banks--the host of | Custom House Oficefs-they do the dan clng. Why, the West by the adminlstra

 ton of Andrew Jackson has been thrown century backward in its career of advance ment. It has had but little or nothing, and iicFN iCt 4-SS ilt tHI. ltlC IAlDd- ny Regency is presuming further upon 1t. i It goes into cities and buys it's stocks. It purchases its banks. 1t sends them its printers, and dictates its politics And now to consummate the impudence of its acts, it actually purposes to saddle upon the West, one of its own creatures, him of | Kinderhook! We'll, if the West, the young and vigorous West, the embryo Gollah of this vast confederacy, will take this bur then,. and be their beast, why should we complain? For six years past, the politi- clans have been false 10 the people, false to their interest at least, if compli- ant with their prejudices-and now l am glad to learn that there is a prospect that some few will open their eyes. Linn, I see, the newly elected Senator from Missouri, comes out in favor of Internal Improvement, but, mark ye, reader, fl IS

 only the Internal Improvement of his own State-the Cumberland Road, that shall stretch through Missouri. How long, think ye, appropriations will come for this, while the present feeling prevails !? And if there be doubt as to the answer. have only to add, look at the vote last session, the reluctance with which 1t was granted, and judge how long Kentucky ] will support a. system that is likely to

 cost her something and profit her nothing. How long will the South continue to vote

 blessings to the West, when the West sup

 ports men to office, who are doing then

 best to cripplethe New States. Let lndl-

 ana answer, now that she feels the veto on

 the Wabash appropriation. Let the whole

 West reflect, when they see thus sudden

 " silenced the resolution of inquiry Tn the | House., which has called forth these re-

 marks. T The enissaries of Van Rnren

 among them will smooth all over, and pol-

 ish over the worse to make 1t appear the

 better cause. caution them against these

 emissaries. They are their enemles.-- They have no feeling in common with 1 sai.en.. They are spread abroad every where, all oyer. this vast country,-penetra- I ting even the territories with an eye to fa-

 fnfe dl,efatiofs, and as: an illustration ot ther acting, and osnnpresence, state the fact, that during the last sunarnef, warm as
