VTNCENNKS. svTi'-iDiV, ii:r. is:?!. iitj:M!i:NT"s ?ii:ssa;i:. This (torument appeased in cur I r a i I - I ;,hul hp had no room for comments. We hae read it with great intercut, being anxious to know what he wonlJ recommend at this particular juncture, and will Pay, that we like its general tone more than thatcf his former messages. We do not mean by this that we subscribe to the President" views, but that the?e views are generally given in a fair and perspicuous mincer, lie discourses most excellently upon lint principles, and points out with force the danger of a concentration of all power in the General Government. In reading this part of the Message, one can hardly refrain from smiling at the simplicity of our President, to see how well he reasons upon fundamental principles, when we all know, he will, without ceremony, trample upon them, should they l'.. art his course. He is, we suppose, like the preacher who advised his hearers to do as he said, and not os he did. The President is right, however, in thinking that the greatest danger we have to apprehend is i.n. concentration of all powers in the federal executive, and he who would attempt to break down the burners, interposed by the constitution between the different departments of our Government, should be esteemed an enemy to liberty and a traitor to his country. As we expected, he deals out his abuse bitterly and profusely against the ank. The monster is portrayed iu the odicns light its enemie9 would have the ignorant to view it, of grasping at power and bending its whole energies to political purposes This part of the Message is but a repetition of the stale charges and vulgar abuse with which the administration prints have been teeming for the last two yca:9. The Dank is prostrated whether for good or evil, i yet to be told, and whether these charges ara true or false, it is inrompatible with the dignity of so high a functionary, to descend to

such low ribaldry, and with the magnanimity of a hero, to villify the character of his fallen foe, and vaunt the prowess of the arm which achieved the downfall. THOMAS IUTCIIIE. "Farewell! a long faretcetl to all my greatness" This old fox, and w had liked to have said, sinner, has been at last ousted from the office of State Printer. He has been enjoying the emolument! of this office for the last thirty or forty years, and no editor during this tune, has exercised so con trolling an influence over the politics of Virginia. as Mr. Kitchie. Few will sympathize with him in his full; for having been brought up at the footstool of Gamaliel, p. iid indoctrinated by the great father of democracy, who could have supposed' that he would have renounced in hts old nge, the principles of his youth , and gone after strange Gods and unclean things. But so it is, and such is hia fate. CONGHESS. We notice Mr. Ewing of Indiana has introduced the following resolution: On motion of Mr. EWING, Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to transmit, or cause to be transmitted to this House, a list of ell such land claims heretofore noted bv. or presented to, the Commissioners authorUed to receive and adjust the same, as miy have been decided unfavorably, or the decision thereupon suspended, or favorably decided and not yet satisfied , in the Vincennes land district, with the foundation of the claims and decisions in brief, and such documents in relation to the subject matter as he may control and deem proper. We ara of opinion that this Resolution will bring forth information never yet published, necessary to enable many of our r;tizens to perfect and come at their Iand Claims. From the Indiana Journal of Dec. 1G, The whole of Friday afternoon last was occupied by the II. of Representatives, in comtniitte of the whole, in the consideratioo of Mr. Vawter's resolution, heretofore published, proposing to create a loan of 1, -100 ,000 dollars far the purpose of constructing Rail Roads in various parts of the stale. Au amendment proposed by Mr. Bennett to stiike out "Rail1' and insert "Turnpike," and lo alter the location of a road from the seat of government to the eastern part of the state, was for the present withdrawn. Mr. Evans avowed his most decided opposition lo the rei'obi lion in its present ehape, arid would ticopposed to any resolution designating the points. He was in favor of referring thfwhole subject to the committee on canals and internal improvements. He con Sidled ihe psuvirfans of this reolutioi

uncqunl and unfair. Mr. Vawter spcke at lenth in favor of (he resolution,

larrp the views with which he had introduced it. He did not expect it would be n greed to exactly as he had offered it. He supposed that it would be adjusted to niit the sense of the House. He hoped hnweer that the members would nme to the investigation of the subject with a proper pirit, and not denounce the whole resolution because they did nrt like all its details. Mr. Shaw took ground tmnevihat similar to that occupied by Mr. Evans, and would favor tliu reference of the subject to the com mittee on canals and internal improvements, and leave it lo their discretion and judgement to arrare the details of the bill. He however would not have risen ii it had not been that one of the most important routes in the state from Louisville to Vincennes wns entirely lost sight of, which, in his opinion, demonstrated the inequality of the resolution. Mr. Wallace defen(!ed the motives of the mover of the resolution, and replied to Mr. Shaw's objection on the ground that the Louisvile and Vincennes road was omitted, that application had been made to the general government for aid on that route, that it was part of a great thorough fare which should be, and it was supposed would be, improved under the authority of the general government. lie however believed it the best policy to refer the subject without instructions to the committee on canals and internal improvements. The resolution was then, on motion of Mr. Evan9, struck out from the resolving clau-e Mr. Thompson then moved to insert a substitute, proposing an inquiry into the expediency of borrowing 1,500,000 at a rate of interest not more than five percent, per annum, redeemable at any time between 30 and 50 years, and fW ft sum 1 of money shall be subscribed for any rail road, canal or turnpike road now or hereafter chartered wiftn'n t hi sf si te. the Go v flrnP t - l.n iintUmin.wl f -v BiAr-fkiA fW

stock lo be taken by the slate to one half or an equal amount with individual s, which was advocated by the mover, Mes 8rs. Chapman, Willet, Vawter, and Marshall. The latter gentleman Mr. Marshall) contended with earnestness and ability in favor of giving a preponderance r . . i r r . i . . iu luuiviuuai siocunoiuers in rne control of the stock. He argued that individal interest would be the best security for the profitable mnagement of such charters. Individuals, he contended, would not take stock where the controlling power is to be vested in the state, because the Legislature, representing the people, would make the rate of transportation so low as to afford no protit. In every undertaking in which states and individuals go in partner ship he contended that polic' would require, if il was intended to make the stork yield a profit, that the preponder ance in the managemant should be given to individual stockholders. Before fuiy question was taken, on motion of Mr. Smith of F. the committee rose, re ported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. An unusual number of petitions and resolutions have been presented and referred to standing and select committees, which, aa a matter of course, v i 1 1 give rise to the introduction of a great oucit2r of bills. Upon lha subject raster cf many of the resolutions, however, the committees to which they were referred have reported that it is inexpedient to act, and muoy more will doubtless share Ihe same .'ate. FltOM S . N i c;TO.. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, Dec. 8, 1 834. 1 need not run over in detail all the news of this day, as the morning papers will give it to you- The movement of Southard's in the Senate, to take the appointment of Committees in their own power, is important as it makes all reports speate the voice ol the majority of the! Senate. The appointment of Mr. Wavna! .uii. . i hi. n puui line ui u i mi . ii ay iiai of Georgia1 as Chairman of the Commit-) tee of Foreign Relations (in the room of! Mr. Archer of Virginia) is also worthy of notice, as, if do special Committees is appointed, upon that Committee will fall that part of the message, which speaks of our difficulties with France. Wayne!

In leaving offj and profiit into the hands of our laborMr. Archer, the Speaker, I presume.' ing men. Why should we complain! meant no disrespect, as Mr. Archer has We have spirit enterprise, and capital not been in his seat till to-day, and as; enough at our own doors for almost all it is not customary to appoint a mem- our own improvements. The West is her of the H vie upon a Committee,; the sufferer, and we are the gnhers. when he is absent. A different .rule The West made the President, aud the

prevails iu the Senate. Perhaps, other appointments on the Committee, might deserve some remarks, but I have not a copy of 'he list before rne. The debate in the House, led on by Mr. IlawtM1 motion aimed at the West Point Academy, I suppose you will also have. There is no p uly movement in this. Col. Johnson rather spoke in defence of the Academy. No one really aimed at its immediate demolition. An inquiry has been ordered, and a committee ot twenty four agreed upon, but this is nothing definite. Mr. Mann of New York, a Robcspierean sort of a man aimed t blow at the otlice of Major General. The genius of destiuction is at work, and there i? no knowing where it will end The Lvening Post of Neiv York is lead-

ing in njdance, in which, by nnd by, the Agrarians nnd lotidel? will sen p the Saul Alleys the Preserved Fishes as Uohespiere served many of nis collaborators, on the guillotine. 'Men should ever remember, that it is easy to raise a Sire but often im hip to nut it out. MirabeiMi set in

motion the storm of the French Devolution, but when Mirabeau said "pause," the fierce tempest howled louder and louder. iF.olus, the king of the winds, could manage them as long as they were in hi? cave, but when he struck the cave and let them loose see what Virgil says of the havoc they wrought. The hundreds and thousand: of imported paupers, fresh from the parishes of Britain whom emigration is saddling upon us, Cobbelt can convert, and Van Burenism can metamorphose into American citizens, but mutant coelum, non animum, qui trans marc current, and the man who chants the tune of "God save the King1' God save the powers that be at the polls to day, may cut your throats on a rail road, or elect Agrarian rulers, and divide )our property, to-morrow. I make these le marks becp.n-e "the architects of rum" are getting the upper hand even here. The Bank is gone. Internal Improvements are going. A Military Academy is becoming a monster, and soon, too soon I fear, even the Judiciary, that palladium of the citizen, his refuge in aid danger, will fall before the axe. Think of these things, farmers ye who have land and homes and love them. Think of it merchants, mechanics, ye who have earned a dollar, and hope lo preserve it. The news from Virginia is satisfactory thus far ; but the main point, it is said, is not yet clear. How rejoiced democracy must be in the election of Buchanan from Pennsylvania. Ritchie in his paper is ev er commenting upon the reign of Federnlhrn and Federalists. Daniel Webster is a raw head and bloody bones with wnicn lie attempts lo ingnien nis readers. But Ditchie need not real Hartford I lie uiii i ciiciniisig, mi; on be in from New Jersey, an ultra Federalist, who like all renegades, makes up iu violence, what he looses in dignity, by abusing the very parly with which he acted for years and years, when such a party existed. And now ccme Buchanan, au ultra Federalist too. Sure Mr. Ritchie will not forget these, his co-workers in Van Burenism. The new statues of Perisco, representing War and Peace are being put up in the Roiunda of the Capitol. That of War, Ihe only one open this morning, was magnificent in ray unpractised eye. They will in the Rotunda contrast oddly enough with the negro-like figure caricaturing Thomas Jefferson, which i9 not worth hcuse-room, and which is an abuse of, aud a libel upon that distinguished uiftn. The sooner it is out of the way ihe more honor for the country. The sage of Monti cello was no such sallow, bandy-legged cuffee as this purports hioi to be. FROM WASHINGTON. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, Dec. 11, 131. The Senate hasjbeen engaged quite all of this day's session in forming its Committees, which do not materially differ ; froai what they were the last session. I here is nothing important to remark upon them, that 1 notice nt present. The vote in the House relative to a road contemplated, or the improvement of a r,oad, fiom Louisville, Ky. to Nashville (Tenn ) will attract the attention of your Western readers. The West, to use a vulgar, but an expressive phrase, has brought its pigs to a line market. The West overthrew an administration, that of J. Q. Adams, which did wonders for it, and built up one which does nothing for it, The West with its noble rivers, its broad expansejof territory, its young, but thriving population , with resources immense, but with little means of developing them, now sees an end of all appropriations far the purpose of Internallmprovement. We of the Northen and Middle States of i e ii i u i ui wieii anu ii mo ie a i a course, do not care speaking as it uals only, and confining our yiews ndividto our firesides. We have our appropriations for our rivers that fbw directly into the Atlantic, with ports of entry in abundance upon them. Money in abundance we have for forts, fortresses, naw vards drv West enjoys his kindness. Expenses in numerable he creates, offices, and officers, ha has doublee in number, safaris, the outgoing of the Treasury are almost twice as much as they were, but the West profits nothing. They pay the fiddler, and the blank paper and twine men of the North, the Reesides,and Isaac Hills, the Albany Regency, with a score of Safety Fund Banks, the host of Custorn House Odicers, they do the dancing. Why, the West by the administration ol Andrew Jackson has been thrown a cen tury backward in it, career of advancement. It has but little or nothing, and it must hope far hm now. Aye the Albany Regency is presuming further upon it. It goes into cities and buys its stocks. ; poichaees its banks. It sends them its

pnn.cr., die..,., i.. polHic.:

Well, if the West, the vounf and vieerous West, the embryo- . .1 1 f ilK Goliah of this visit confederacy, ta.e imburthen, and be their beast, why should we complain? For six years past, the politicians have been false to the people, false to their interest at least, if compliant with their prejudices and now I am glad to learn that there is a prospect that some few cf them will open their eyes Linn.

We had supposed w e had heard ihe last of the thumping. But we clear the way for M r.

Independent of the claims which ihe new stales have upon the national purse, in consequence of so much of the public revenue having been expended upon the sea board, in the older States, good policy n the part of the General Government flemands appropriations of a portion of the lands for lha purpose of internal improvement, where she has lands for sale; as such appropriations would immensely increase the value of those un-sold: and this is not all "the treasury of a well managed government, is the pockets of the people," and facilities for giving access to market for the productions of our farmers and mechanics, tend to throw money into that treasury. It is in vain that our farmers produce more corn, pork, beef, Sic. than they can consume themselves, unless they can" have access to a market without having the carriage cost so much as as to absorb all Ihe prrtits. it is always the case, that doubts and fears are entertained with regard to the success of such undertakings; but enternnco rit iinrcvrriinro :i V P - in fill T f!Olin Jooner or lal'tersCIOwn our ,abor, location, nature, and every thing else have so ordained.
