If Cnrre hare no constitutional power c?rtroct rouds.pnd canals, there is tio pnwcrvi existence to entry thesp cum pds into cierotion; and yft this five ppr cent, is the principal consideration the n"w Siates have fT not interf-rirg; with the pri.Tv-y disposal of the sol. The enemies of internal improvements sny tbey have no pswer in the Constitution to make roads and canals: but tbey Pte bound by compact, with all the nw Kiatts, to tnake roads and canals for thir beneti. Surely, th-n, according to their own construction, they must either gire Dp the compacts or the Cotstitutien IJut, Sir, B'ran2;e es it may seem, many members of both. Hoovs, who s'rocg'y deny the p' wer of Congress in reference (o internal improvements, adhere with much pertinacity to the compacts, because the moment they are abandoned, the public lands will unquestionably belong to the S'ates. 7"he q-iestion cf internal improvements is one which the new Statfs, in the present condition of the puh'.ic hnds, can never yield. is in vain to expect, that, while the lands belon to the Federal ivermnrnt; while millior.s are drained fr-Mn the country into ths Treasury of - th. Union these S'ats wit ccae to n-k aids fur the rnprovt-ment of their country in roads and canals. It is reasonable that they shnjll so ask.

Thy see other States carrying on other J public works. 1 hese states have all derived revenues, almost inex'mnstible, from thfir public lands; and Pencsy vania, though otie of the oldest States, has not jet tihausted that great source of revenue; for, ou a recent occasion, she has pledged the revenues to be derived thereIroni to the progress of the canal. 2'he public lands io the hands of the oew States, would put those Statet on an equal footing wito the original States. 2Vipy would be sources of revenue for the improvement of thoi States and they would relieve their agricultural interests, from the heavy burdens tbey at present brar to sustain their Treasury. Few of tbe old Stales are reduced to the necessity cf a land tax fo meet their current expeiid tures; but the new States, having few obj"cts of taxation, lay havy cfiir bntion "n their agricultural inter est f-r that purpiie. Almot all the circulating medium of the new States, is drained into tho rrcasMty of the United State?, by the operation of the land offices, a:id the lndi thus purchased, are tax d heavily to support tbe State Hopetnmert. Io mi portion of the Union is oj;rii u. mre so mucb burthened as in the n- W Sf'ttPS. 'An pub ic lavds should be gvpn up tii t' Staus, beca me the revenue derived from tiem i a t.ix on 'hose States, and bai an impoverishing flf ct up n them This opinion 1 know w.ll be controverted.

It is truo, Sir, Mat it ttvk s bttlr d ffrencto the person pying out his last dt'lr, to whom he pays it; but to the country, it is very iuipmtjmt. If he pays it i lt a Lud Oili e, it pases immediately o -it vrf the c -untry into the Treasury here If he pays it to his neighbor, it remains in the country, and nukes a part of its circulating medium. In the one case, every d lhr in the cou try m ght be empi n rd ii the purchase of I inds among the citizens, and there wutd not be a dollar the less if money in the country.

From the Pittsburgh G.zette. Jackson at New Orleam. We have alieadv said that Gen. Jackson hod fallen at New-Orleans, on the 8th of January Int. At present we lay before our readers the following letter from a very respectable gentleman, formerly of this city, and who, while here last summer on a visit, declared himself dectdedh friendly to the electiou of General Jackson. Extract of a letter (o a gentleman in this city, dated New-Orleans, February 13, 1828. "The 8th January was very flat here. Siram boats, and the passengers who camt doicnin them, out of the way, and ther would have been but a poor show indeed. "One circumstance: The committer had to take ,$'2000 worth of Ball tickets that night; for in the morning the tickets were S!0, at 12 o'clock 5, and at 4 o'clock down to $3. and few, very few, purchased even at that price. 1 am now convinced that this is an Administration State. All the re?peclable par' of community were perfectly quiet, did not dine with them, go to the ball, nor partake in any way of the rejoicings. All was flat, all was much below what was expected and I am of opinion that the Giuieral wa in his own light in coming here, and will lose by it. Tne ac count of a grfat many speeches having; been spoken and a great parade, is not the fact." From the Trenton Tr-ie Am rican. Tne military parade on yesteiday the 8th January, was thinly attended, only homly -three olfice i s and privates, (outol thrte uniform companies.) turned out to celebrate the day. The remainder were strongly expected to be tainted ivith principles and opinions, not congenial with tbe celebration of the Sth o January in a partisan way. In othet words they were not in favor of Gen. Jackson for president, and would not contii'iule, even indirectly, to swell the triumph wished for by his friends. Speaking of the lab; Major General Drown, the conquerer of Riall and Druminond, at die and Lundj's Line, ri Philadelphia paper says, this distin guished otlicer, and unassuming and amianle man, achieved for his coflutrv tne greatest victory won by her arms du ring the late wir. Yet his name wa never mentioned by the "Hickory Men,v at their ieostinqs on the last Sth of January. Gen. Drtotvx met and conquered the legions ol England in open conflict bayonet to bayonet breast to breast! No co'lon 6offs protected him and his army from the fire and steel of the enemy. A a commander, Gen. Brown was brave, amiable and merciful and, to Ins credit he it said, he never trampled upon the constitution and laws of his country! We the People. t SIQN3 OF THE TIME3. If we have any skill in these indications, Georgia is not so securely moored to Gen. Jackson's cause as we had conceded We never, however, could believe that Mr C'rawrVd could sustain Mr. Calhoun, his most bitter opponent and most relentless foe. We have already published what is sa;d to be the contents of Jlr Crawford's letter to Mr.Claj'. The following we ex tract from the Kennebuak Uazette. This letter was probably addressed to Mr. IU'ies E '.. j Reg Mr. Crmvford 10 a letter cf the 29th January, 1823, to his friend in Maine, remarks. "1 was decidedly in f.ivor of Mr. Adam in. preference to Jackson when he I was elected, an I war blamtd Mr CI yfvr ns role, fiwnine 1 siwuid nnre voiea wan 'in. h id I hid a vote on that ocwon " He expressed his astonishment tiiat Vir ginia should think of Calhoun for Vice-President, 'who,' he. says, ''is more litdudina rivn in his principles than any statesman who has figured in the his ory of the tepubFrom the Mrylniler: MORG SMiNS IN NEW YORK.

cle, reeo extract cf a letter received from an esteemed friend in the town of NewHartford, Oneida county. Another letter from the town of Pans, in the same county, says, 'In this town, at th" town meeting in May. I8'27,the Administration candidate for supervisor had a majority of only SS. At our tows meeting yesteiday, his maj(rity was 120 " A sign in Xew Hartford. The town of New-Hartford, m Oneida county is a strong republican town. At the election for town officers in May last, (the firVt since the division of the town from Whitestown,) Mr. Savage, now a member "of the legislature, was elected supervisor by a ma jority of 118 votes. At the election last fall for members of assembly, Mr. Savage had a majority of more than 50 votes, tic then professed not to be committed to either of the candidates for the Presidency ana was voted for indiscriminately by the republican friends of both candidates. He went to Mbany attended the Jackson can cus, aud acquiesced in its proceedings. His townsmen knew t ey had never au thorized or expected an such mea ure His republican friends determined to let him know that they did not accord in1 his dc.ioirs.and that he had not expressed their

entim.nts He came home to attend to his owo election for supervisor and made all the efforts in his power to save himself. Tite question was put distinctly on the pround of Presidential preference. The line wa- drawn Adams and ' lackson and all the electors of the town except two or three, rallied. The vote was a large one but notwit .standing the presence of Mr. Savage, and his great exer tions, hi opponent was elected over him by a majority of- one hundred and ixvclvt rotes. Immediately after tbe result was known, Mr Savage started for Albany to resume his seat in the legislature. It is hoped he will now give a faithful account of the sentiments of his constituents. The election was yesterday. Yours, &c. JVew Hartford, jV Y March 5, 1828. Too bad. The New-Jersey papers say that from one vessel belonging to that 6tate, and which was lying in New York during the late election, nine men gave 3 votes each for the Jackson Ticket; which made in the whole, twentyeven illegal votes from one vessel. Sjch abuses are very alarming. Col. Reg. A Sign.In 1824 Mr. Adams received only eighteen votes in Pittsburgh) the metropolis of Western Pennsylvania, hut at the election for councils held in that city on the first of January, 1828, the Adams ticket beat the Jackson ticket by a large majority. lb From the Pennsylvania (German) Telepraph. It is a striking fact and worthy ofuotice, that there are at present upwards of fifty papers published iu U119 ntts which advocate and defend the present virtuous and enlightened idmini8tration of the (ileoeral Government of the United States, .lud it is equally striking, hat at the last Presidential election in 1821, not a single paper ftUppnrled the claims of Air. Adam to the Presidency. Notwithstanding these, facts, which are eo glaring and well known to the present uniioly combination,' yet they have the eS'rontery to maintain, that no changes have taken place amongst the people of Pennsylvania, relative to the Pre-idential election. Wo iderfuH But it requires the most extraordinary and .desperate efforts to keep up the sinking spirit of the wrshiper of the "Military candidate,' and prevent Ihera from falling into absolute despair. Citizens of Pennsylvania, continue your efforts in so good a cause as that in which you are now engaged, and your efforts will he crowned with success, and the voice of Pennsylvania will be beard in favor of the present Administration. From the Charleston Advocate. We are informed that in many parts of tbe State, it U confidently expected that Lieut. Gov. Thompson will le a candidate for the office of Governor at our next annual election and that public expectation and inquiry, on that subject, may be put to rest, nnd (bat tbe attention of tbe citizen may be turned toward eome other individual for that office, we are authorized again to state that Mr. Thompson will not be a. candidate. Printers throughout this State will please to give the above an in scrtioti in their papers. Blank Summons' for sale at this OFFICE, Blank Deeds for sale at this OlBce;
