B. Hall, Secy's. From the St. Louis Union. Western Improvements. We have read carefully the President's Mecsize, giving the reason for withholding his assent from the River and Harbor Bill, passed at the list session of Congress. It is difficult to determine whether he intends to convey the impression that river improvements by the Federal Government are unconstitutional or to confine his objections to such as are within the jurisdiction of a State. We in fer that the Utter in his view of the subject, although we regret that any room U left for doubt. That the Missis, sippi is under the Federal Government is a national highway, which Missouri and Illinois csnnot jointly block up at any point, nor all of the Western States combined, will not be disputed by any per on familiar with the sub ject, oo far as that river is concerned, we can see no room for doubt. Nearly all western statesmen bave concurred on that point. During the Revolutionary war, iu navigation was the subject of extreme solicitude on the part of the continental Congress and that body declined the alliance of Spain when proffered, on the condition thit we should surrender it up. Afterwards, when Washington was President, and negotiations were renewed with Spain on that subject, the western pioneers alarmed at the rumors which had reached them, held a public meeting to protect themselves against any treaty which might shut up that channel of trade. Washington stepped aside from his usual course to quiet their apprehensions, informing them of the precise state of negotiations, and Congress resolved never to relinquish the national right to that stream. Id 1787, Congress ordained that "the navigable waters leading into the Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall be com non highways, and forever free, as well to the inhabitants of said terriioty as to the citizens of the United States and those of any other Sitte, that may be admitted into the Confederacy, without any tax duty, or impost therefor. And in I7SS, Congress resolved, "that the free navigation of the river Mississippi is a clear and essential right of the United States." Indeed, the various laws, public acts, and uni form course of the Federal Government justifies the opinion that the imgfovement of the Mississippi is within the constitutional power of that Government. V admit that bad precedents cannot justify a new wrong. But what is to become of that class of cas"s, in which grants of land have been made to the new States fr particular purposes? Are all to be swept away! But it is not our purpose to go over this whole ground which we have so frequently and minutely examined. We may be in error, in our views, but if so, we err with Jeffkrsox, Jtcasox, Vax BcaiN and Bestox. The published views of those statesmen seem to us to mark out the true policy, and limits of power. We bave said that the veto metsago is not explicit on certain subjects of particular interest to the West. In the enumeration of objectionable meii-ure,' w see no refer ence to the great rivers of the West, nor to the appropria i- r. .1 w . tions made for them. YVe cannot suppose that they were ' not intentionally excluded from the general scope of the Message. That omission justifies the inference, that such improvements are considered constitutions! and proper. The general reasoning of this document is aimed at a erstem which we have always opposed a system of internal improvements by the Federal Government in the States, liy roads, canals, harbors, A.c. Sec, which has no watrant in the Constitution, nor in sound policy Nothinz that is ; said against such a system, f.ula to meet our cordial assent; oor uo we uesitaie w agree wnn me objections maue to log rolling. We do not think that the Message goes s fa? a. the Whig, desire to have the public believe If it j was inteniled, however, to deny the Constitutionality and j expediency of retaining in the I eileral Government, the power of removing temporary obstructions in the Missisppi and Ohio rivers, we must consider it as expressing the views, not of the Democracy of the West, but of only . . a V - ' . .a a small portion oi tne uemocranc party tnis side oi tne Allrghanies. Tbe Legislature of Misnouri, has often acted on this question, our Senators and Representatives bave voted and spoken on it. co with most of the Democratic Senators and Representatives from Illinois. Why should we not consider their expositions of the Constitution as expressive of the Democratic sentiments of their States! At any rate, we bave seen no reason to change our views on this subject that Congress his power to make at pro(.rb'ions for removing from the Mississippi and Us great tributaries which lie beyond State jurisdiction, such obstructions as endanger the safety of their navigation. Commerce is not created thereby; it already exists, and more than doubles in value and extent the foreign commerce of tba Republic. There a limit to Congressional power over this general subject, and that limit, in our opinion, is to be found in the language of the Constitution which confines the authority of Congress io commerce amonn the Stales and with the Indian tribes. A ship ment in a licensed or registered vessel, from St. Louis to New Orleans, is as mach m part of tbe coasting trade of the country, at if made from Boston Xo New York.. It is a trade between the States of the Confederacy, which no one of them can interdict. A light-house, or pier, or buoy, or revenue cutter, is no more necessary to the foreign or coasting trade of eastern States, than a sriig-boat to the coinmerce(amor the States. So far is ibis doctrine from infringing on the States-right principle, that it is tbe necessary consequence of it. The States are considered as separate sovereignties, and the trade among them as a trade among States standing in that independent and dis tinct relation towards each other. W hdsl foreign Stales can pass non-intercourse or other restrictive laws, the States of this Confederacy bave so far parted with their ower over this subject, as to leave to tbe federal Governernment, the regulation of their commerce with each other. Tbe power and duty in this case go together. But, if there be a serious doubt retting on the minds of any considerable portion of the people, an amendment of the Constitution may be proper to bave all further difficulties removed. In the mean time, however, the commerce of the West, should not be left neglected. ftir A Labor-savinjj Fluj Machine lm been in veuted'in Cincinnati by Josin Ii Kirby.

A Wilis Editor's opiiiiou of lVIiij ConKre$meii. From the Cambridge Rett die, Dee. 15, 1847. Our whig friends, who voted in Congress, that "war exists by the act of Mexico," must feci highly delighted, when they find President Polk q ioting that vote, as a justification for the acts of the administration, in reference to our contest with Mexico. There was not a single whig in Congress, who did not believe that the wan was produced by the act of the

administration, done iu direct vudaUon of. the consti tution, and yet &o. fearful were they ot the ultimate I consequences of a candid and honest expression of j their opinion..that they tamely voted f.r a bill, the preamble to which contained a palpable he, as shown by their own declarations, and the documentary and official history of our difficulties with Mexico. They knew that their rote icas an trfirial and soltmn declaration of a foul and monstrous falsch d ; and yet th! fear of being called a federalist, os a MiXi'-an whig. induced the reat body of the whig delegates to do violence to their own sense of riglU, and to vote iu favor of a-statement, which they and the jrr-at majority of the nation kmew to be directly contrary t- truth. They voted that war existed by the act of Mexico, and as an earnest of their sincerity they voted to prant the supplies necessary to carry on a wnr which, they hud thus declared strictly defensive. Did they believe it! Does any honest man in the nation suppose that they did not know they were offering themselves as endorsers for the truth of" the facts contained in that declaration ! If their vote was an honest and candid expression of their views, why are they now opposing the prosecution of the war ! If, on the contrary, they believed that the war was traceable only to the unjustifiable conduct of the President and his advisers, why did they assist in bringing fort, and givinjr character to a deliberately infamous lie. The President continually refers to the unprecedented unanimity with which the declaration of war passed bcth Houses, in supp-jrt of the correctness of the position assumed by him ; and for aught we can see his argument is a perfectly fair and legitimate one. True these time-serving popularity-loving whigs assert, that our war against Mexico is an unjust and palpable violation of the laws of nations, and was commenced and carried on without the shadow of a justifiable cause ; but as an effectual quietus to all this idle, silly bluster. President Polk refers them to their recorded rotes. Which are wc to believe 1 For our own part, experience nas taught us that many men will tell a lie, who would yet shrink from stating a falsehood when called upon to testify under the solemnity of an oath. And our sapient whig Congressmen, who voted that war exists by the act of Mexico, were sworn to faithfully support the constitution. If they really did not believe such to be the fact, and yet believed that duty to the country and our gallant army demanded of them to vote in favor of the requisite supplies, why did they not vote for the bill, and at the ßame time, enter upon the journals of the House, their protest against the statement contained in tue preamble ? For the "immortal fourteen" in the House, and tLe two Senators who had sufficient moral courage to vote against a proposition so monstrously false, as that contained in the preamble of, the bill, we entertain a feeling of admiration and respect, greatly increased when we contrast their maniy, independent course, with the cowardly servile conduct of the truckling majority of the ichigs, who dared not assert their own freedom of thought and action, lest some doughfaced northern editor should choose to bestow upon them some of the slang epithets registered in his blackguard vocabulary. fjGeneral Taylor is said to have put a damper on the federal declaration, that he agrees with their leaders upon the question of the boundary of Texas, and they are evidently vexed about it. It has transpired that he has recently purchased two thousand acres of land, between the Rio firande and the Nueces, at the round sum of twenty thousand dollars, cash in hand, they see clearly that this investment ' disproves the idea that he admits the justice of Mexico's claim to the tract of country between those rivers; while it just as certainly poes to show that the land there is not valueless, as it has been described by the opposi tion. Five dollars per acre being a high price for the 07" A country contemporary compares some of his subscribers to cats.

We have filed them, and may hereafter have occasion to use the excellent reso lutions adopted. tCVOur session subscriber will now begin to receive their papers again. The Legislature. We are sincerely gratified to see that the members of the -Legislature have rcturned to their duties. There can, so far as we have yet observed, be but few not arrived; and they, if they went to their homes, are probably detained by bad roids. It may not be improper to state, that the first two weeks of legislative bodies, particularly those meet ing about Congress time, on the first of December, are generally spent in preparing business, enjoying the holidays, or log-rolling. We believe it has been ,. r. i : .i e, . i , lbe im ln thlS S,0,e' under w,ff e to adJourn reguiariy over nie nonuays. mis lias lately gone out of vogue, much to the interest of the people, but not so as to example. But this late temporary adjournment, caused by such a terrible calamity, lias left different impressions on the minds of members. It was enough to cause seriousness to a certain extent; and we feel gratified in being able to state, that the members have retnrned in good health, and with an apparent disposition to proceed with business, such only as is strictly required by the true interests of the people, with despatch. We hope they will do so. N. B. The office-seekers are all here, we believe. Tlie State Convention. The report of the proceedings of this body appears in another column, and we invite to them public attention. The number in attendance was larger than we had anticipated, taking into view the wretched condition of the ronds, and other untoward circumstances of a local character. Tlie spirit of harmony, union, and zeal displayed in every act of the Conven tion w as never excelled : and it augurs well for the creat canvass wc are just euterinrr upon.

The Tonic pills are - peculiarly adapted to the quick and permanent cure of Fever and Ague, torpor ol the Liver, and general debility, tt is in Fever and Ague, Chill Fever, Str., that they achieve theor greatest triumphs. It rarely requires over twelve hours; or more than half a box of tho tonic pil s. to break the cbi lis and effect a permaneiit eure which is rarely the case with the tonic mixtures ol qu'-iine, haw ked about the country by ignorant pretenders. Those Who take the tonic pills w ill never forsake ihem. ho can wonder, then, that a medicine ol such extensive popu larity, and extraordinary viiturs should cause Ureal excitement among the Uoetors! The prejudices of physicians against their use are at last giving way to the play ol reason, and the conviction of every -day experience which they derive from their patient and friends who use them. Doctors are now almost every day sending orders from ever v part of the country for a supply ofibese pills to use in their practice.
