fine the extent of the right, that will be found so variant, and embracing so much that has been overruled, as lo involve the whole subject in great uncertainty, and to render the execution of "our respective duties in relation to it replete with difficulty and embarrassment. It is in regard to su h works, and the acquisition of additional territory, that the practice obtained its first footing. In most, if not all other disputed questions of appropriation, the construction of the Constitution may be regarded as unsettled, if the right to apply money, in the enumerated cases, is placed on the ground of usage. This subject has been one of much, and I may add, painful reflection to me. It has bearings that are well calculated to exert a powerful influence upon our hitherto p.osperous system ol government, and which, on some accounts, may even extite despondency in the

breast of an American citizen. I will not detain you with professions of zeal in the cause of internal improvement. If to be their friend is a virtue which deserves commendation, our country is blessed with an aoundance of it; for I do not suppose there is an intelligent citizen who does not wish to see them flourish. Bui though all are their friend, but few I trust are unmindful of the means by which they should be promoted: none certainly are so degenerate as to desire their success at the cost of that sacred instrument, with the preservation of which is indissoluble bound our country's hopt s. If different impressions are entertained in any quarter; if it is expected that the people of this country, reckless of their constitutional obligaliuus, will prefer their Jocal interest to the principles of the Union, such expectations will in the end be disappointed ; or if it be not so, then, indeed, has the world but little to hope from the ex tmple of free gov eminent. When an honest observance cf constitutional compacts cannot be obtained from communities like ours, it need not be anticipated elsewhere; and the cause in which there has been eo much martyrdom, and from which so much was expected by the friends 01 liberty, -may be abandoned ; and the degrading truth, that man is unfit for selfgovernment admitted. And this wiii be the case if expediency be made a rule of construction in interpreting the Con stitution. Power, in no government, could desire a better shield for the ineidious advance?, which it is ever ready to mike, upon the checks that are designed to restrain its action. But I do not entertain such gloomy apprehension, li it be the wish of the people that the construction of roads arid canals should be conducted b) the Federal Governmental is not only high ly expedient, but indispensably necessary, that a previous amendment of the f.itia 1 1 i ii rtt Jtilonnlinrt I It a n an r c c i power, and defining and restricting its exercise with reference to the sovereignty of the State?, should be made. Without it, nothing extensively useful can be eff -cted. The right to exercise as mm h jurisdiction as is necessary to preserve the works, and to raise funds by the collection of tolls to keep them in repair, cannot be dispensed with. The Cumberland road should be an instructive admonition of the consequences of acti g without this right. Year after year, contests are witnessed, growing out of efforts to obtain the necessa ry appropriations for completing and repairing this useful work. Whilst one Congress may claim and exercise the power a succeeding one may deny it, and this fluctuation ot opinion must be unavoidably fatal to any scheme, which, from its extent, would promote the in teiest and elevate the character of the country. The experience of the past has shown that the opinion of Congress is subject to such fluctuations. If it be the desire of the people that the agency of the Federal Government should be confined to the appropriation of money, in aid of such undertaking?, in virtue of SUte authorities, then the occasion, the manner, and the extent of the appropriations, should be made the subject of constitutional regulation. This is the more necessary, in order that they may be equitable among the several S'ates; promote harmony between different sections of the Union and their Representatives; preserve other parts of the Constitution from being undermined by the exercise of doubtful powers, or the too great extension of those which are not so; and protect the whole subject against the deleterious influence of combinations to carr),by concert, measures which considered by themselves, might meet but little countenance. That a constitutional adjustment of this power, upon equitable, principles, is, in the highest degree, desirable, can scarcely be doubted ; nor can it fail to be promoted by every sincere friend to the success of our political institutions. In do Government are appeals to the source of power, in cases of real doubt, more suitable than in ours. No good motive can be assigned for the exercise of power by the constituted authorities, while those, for whose benefit it is to be exercised, have not conferred it, and

may cot be tvilling (o confer it. Tt would seem to me that an honest application of the conceded powers of the General Government to the advancement of the common weal, present a sufficient scope to satisfy a reasonable ambition. The difficulty and supposed impracticability of obtaining an amendment of the Constitution in this respect, is, I firmly believe, in a great degree, unfounded. The time has never yet been, when the patriotism and intelligence of the American people were not fully equal to the greatest exigency, and it never will, wben the subject calling forth their interposition is plainl) presented to them. To do so with the questions involved in this bill, and to urge them to an early, zealous, and full consideration of their deep importai ce, is, in my estimation, among the highest ofour duties. A supposed connexion between appropriations for internal improvement and the system of protecting duties, growing out of the anxieties of those more immediately interes'ed in their success, has given rise to suggestions which it is proper I should notice on this occasion. My opinions on these subjects have neverbeenconcealed from these who had a right to know them. Those which I have entertained on the latter, have frequently placed me in opposition to individuals as well as communities, whose claims upon my friendship and gratitude are of the strongest character; but I trust there has been nothing in my public life which has exposed me to the suspicion of being thought capable of sacrificing my views of duty to private consideraiions, however strong they may have been, or deep the regrets which they are capable of exciting. As long as the encouragement of domestic manufactures is directed to national ends, it shall receive from me a temperate but steady support. There is no necessary connexion between it and the system of appropriations. On the contrary, it appears to me that the supposition of their dependence upon each other, is calculated to excite the prejudices of the public against both. The former is sustained on the grounds of its consistency with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, of its origin being tracted to the assent of all the parties to the original compact, aud of Us having the support and approbation of a majority of the people; on which account, it is at least entitled to a fair experiment. The suggestions to which I have alluded refer to a forced continuance of the national debt, by means of large appropriations, as a substitute for the security which the system derives from the principles on which it has hitherto been sustained. Such a course would certainly indicate either an unreasonable distrust of the people, or a

consciousness that the system does not possess sutiicient soundness for its sup port, if left to their voluntary choice, and its own merits. Those who sup pose that any policy thus founded can be long upheld in this country, have looked upon its history with eyes very different from mine. This policy, like every other, must abide the will of the people, who will not be likely to allow any device, however specious, to con ceal its character and tendency . In presenting these opinions I have spoken with the freedom and candor which I thought the occasion for their expression called for, and now respect fully return the bill which has been un der consideration for your further deli beration and judgment.

War among the Indians. We learn from the Miners Journal , that a party of Fux and Winnebago Indians, returning from prairie du Chien, whither they had been to attend a treaty, were attacked by a body of Sioux and Menomones, near the mouth of the Ouismnsin, and ten of the former killed. Great preparations were making for war; and the government agents were busily engaged in trying to bring about a reconciliation, which was thought might prove successful and stop tha ell'usions of blood. We have neither room nor inclination to more (ban notice the message of the president inserted to day. "As h political measure bear.ng upon the fulure peace and happiness one oi the most imnortam mat nas ever uevolfed upon the president of the United States to perfom; and affords a greater display of disinterested, high-minded, patriotic devotion to the true interests of the country, without regard to selfish ends, or popularity seeking motives, that we have ever seen."
