to .satisfy myself

that the bill entitled An act to improve fhe navigation of ttie Wabdlh river,r %hicli was sent to me at the close ©f your last sfi*sion, ought to pa«, and have I hereto re withheld from it my approval, and now return it to the Sgpate^Jbe body in .Vhirfi, it originated.'

ThCfti can be no question connected wiih ftm*admwtel ration of public aflfurs, more- important or more difficult to be satWnrtoriij dealt with. than that which refates to (he'rqEtafal authority and proper action of the Federal Government upon the fiAfr£l.of internal Improvements. To {phcj^m embarrassments have been added ^tKers faulting from the couife of our le,gi,|at,o^oncerninei..^, r* hive heretofore communicated freely with Congress upon the subject, and iu advert* n£ to if*Vlg iin, I cannot refrain from expressing my increased conviction of its extreme importance, as well in regard to Its bearing upon the maintenance of the Constitution and the prudent management ofthe public revenue, as onaccounfof its disturbing effect upon the harmony of the Union.

Weaffe fn no daftger from violations of the Constitution by which encroachments are made upon the personal rights of the citizen. The sentence tf condemnation, long since pronounced by the American People upon acta of that character, will, 1 doubt not, continue to prove as salutary in its effects it is irreversible in its nature. But ag.iiost the dangen of unconstitutional acts, which instead of menacing the vengeance of offended authority, proffer local advantages^ and bring in their train the patronage ofthe Government,we are, I fear, not so safe. To suppose that because our Government has been instituted for the benefit of the People, it must, therefore, have the power to do whatever I may seem to conduce to the public good, is »n error into which honest minds are too

apt to fall. In yielding themselves to this fallacy, they overlook the great considerations in which the Federal Constitution was founded. They forget that in consequence of th$ conceded diversities in the interest and condition of the different Restates, it was forscen* at the period of its udoption, that although a particular measure of the Government might be henfefign, cial and froper in one State, it might be ilhe reverse in another—that it was for this rea»on the States would not consent to make a grant to the Federal Government ofthe gencr#! and usual powers of Government, but of such only as were specifically enumerated, and the probable effects of which they could, as they thought, safely anticipate: and they forget also the paramount obligation upon all to abide by the compact, then so solemnly, and, as it

was ^»ped, so firmly established.

dition to tne dangers to the Constitution springing from the sources 1 have stated, the^e has been one which was perhaps grater than all. 1 allude to the materials which this subject has offered for sinister nfjjJtnls to selfish feelings, and the opinion heretofore

extensively entertained of

adaptation to the purposes of personal nmbition." Witbencn stimulants it is not surrprising that the *ci* nnd pretensions of the Federal Government in this behalf /|.hould sometimes have been carried to an ulrfroiing extent. Thc» questions which haVfcarisep upon this subject have related. 1st. To the power of making Internal

Improvements within the limits of a State, with the right of territorial jurisdiction, sufficient at least for their preservation and use. -kL** A 2d. To the ffthflT approbating tfib-

in aid of such works when carried on 'by & Stats or by a company in virtue of .State authority, surrendering the claim of Jurisdiction fcnd 3d. To the propriety of appropriation for improvements of a particular class, tbs: for lighthouses, beacons, buoys.4 public piers, and for the removalof sattd bars, ^sawyers, and other temporaryund partial impediment* in our uavigable rivers and harbors.

The claims of power for the General Government upon each of these points certainly present matter of the deepest interest. The first ^however, of much the greatest importance, inasmuch as, in addition to the dangers of unequal and Improvident expenditures of public moneys, common to all, there is superadded to that the conflicting jurisdictions of the respective governments. Federal jurisdiction, at least to the extent I have stated, has been justly regarded by its advocates as necewnrif) appertaining to the power in question, if that exists by the constitution. That the most injuiious conflicts would unavoidably arise between the respective jurisdictions of the State and Federal Governments, in the absence of a constitutional provision marking (Hit their respective boundaries, canfrtt be doubted. The local advantages to be obtained, would induce the Slates to overlook in the beginning the dangers and difficulties to which they might ttUimately be exposed.

The powers exercised by the Federal Government wouid soon be regarded with jealousy by the State authorises, and originating *t they must from implication or assumption* it would be impossible to affix to them certain and$c*tfe limits. Opportuni»io**nd temptations to the assumption of powers incompatible with State sovereignty, would he increased, ami thoee ban lent which rcsist Uie tendency of our system towards consolidation greatly weakened—The officers and age.its ofrtho General Government might not alwifi have the discretion to abstain from intermeddling with State concerns and if they did, they would not always escape the suspicion of hating done so. Collisions, and consequent irritations would spring up—that ham

ny which should ever exist bet wsen the harbors, the removal of pacyi|j|ad tempoGeneral Government and each member ofj rary obstructions in oar^Mvigable rivers, the Confederacy, would be frft^oantly for the facility and serunty of our foreign interrupted—a spirit of content$|% wftu!d c©««nerce. The-*grounds upon #hkh 1 engendered—and thedan^rs ol d)Vt?ion! distinguish appropriations of this characJ|gr \ntlj multiplied. .V* *cr ^wra others, have, already been stated

Yet we all know, notwithstanding these grave objections, this dangetous doctrine was at one time apparently proceeding to its final establishment with fearful rapidi ty. The desire to embark the Federal! Government in works of Internal Improvement, prevailed in the highest degree, darling the first session ot the first Cone that 1 had the hc^r to meet ia my^pre sent situation. authorizing a subscription od the part of the United States for stock in the Maysville and !Lexington Turnpike Companies, passed the twq Houses, there had been reported, by the Committees of Internal Improvements, bills containing appropriations for such objects, exclusive of those for the Cumberland read, slid for harbors and light hous es, to the amount of about one hundred and six millions of dollars In this amount was included authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to subscribe for the stock of different companies to a great extent, and the residue was principally for the direct construction of roads by this Governments.^ cJ

In addition to these projects, which had been presented to the two Houses, under the sanction and recommendation of their respective CortWnittees on Internal Improvements, there were then still pending before the Committees, and in memorials to Congress, presented, but not referred, different projects for works of a similar character, the expense of which cannotrbe estimated with certainly, but must have exceeded one hundred millions of dollars.

Regarding the bill authorizing a subscription to the stock of the Maysville and Lexington Turnpike Company*as the entering wedge of a system, which, howelNer weak at first, might soon become strong enough to rive. the. bands to the U-, nion asunder, and believing that if ite passage was acquiesced in by the Executive and the People, there would no longer be any limitation upon the authority of the General Government in respect to the appropriation of money for such objects, I deemed it an imperative duty to withhold from it the Executive approval. Although, from the obviously local character of that work, I might well have contented myself with a refusal to approve the bill upon that ground, yet, sensible of the vital importance of the subject, and anxious that my views.and opinions in regard to the whole matter should be fully understood by Congrees, and by my constituents, I felt it my duty to go furlher. I therefore embrace that early occasion to apprize Congress, that, in my opinion, the Constitution did not confer upon it the power to authorize the construction of ordinary roads and canals within the limits of a State, and to say,respectfully, that no bill admitting such a power could receive my official sanction. 1 did so in the confident expectation that the speedy settlement of

the public mind upon the whole subject would be greatly facilitated by the difference between the two Houses and myself, and that the harmonious action of the several Departments of the Federal Government in regard to it, would be ultimately secured.

So far at lea:t as it regards this branch of the subject, my best hopes have been realized. Nearly four years have elapsed, and several sessions of Congress have intervened, and no attempt, within my recollection, has been made to induce Congress to exercise this power.

The applications for the construction of roads and canals which were formerly multiplied upon your files, are no longeh presented, and we have good reason toinfer that the current of public sentiment has become so decided against the pretension as effectually to discourage its reasierlion. So thinking, I derive the greatest satisfaction from the conviction, that thus much at least has beeu secured upon this important and embarrassing subject.

From attempts to appropriate the national funds to objects which are confessedly of a local character, we cannot, 1 trust, have nny thing further to apprehend.— \|y views in regard to the expediency of making appropriations for works which arc claimed tc be of a national character, and prosecuted under State authority, assuming that Congress have the right to do so, were stated in my annual message to Congress in 1830, and also in that containing my objections to the Maysville Road bill.

So throughly convinced am 1, that no such appropriations ought to be made by Congress, until a suitable constitutional provision is made upon the subject, and so essential do 1 regard the point to the highests interests of our countr) that I could not consider myself as discharging my dbty to my constituents in giving the Executive sanction to any bill containing such an appropriation. If the People of the United States desire th^t the public Treasury shall be resorted to for the means to prosecute such works, they will concur in an amendment of the Constitution prescribing a rule by which the national character of 4be works is to be tested, and by which the greatest pracUcabie%quality of benefits may be secured to each member of the confederacy.

The effects of such a regulation would be most salutary in preventing unprofitable expenditures, in securing our legislation from the pernicious consequenc|a of a scramble for the favors of Government, and in repressing the spirit of discontent which must inevitably arise from an unequal distribution of treasures which belong alike I® all.

There is another class of appropriations for what may be called, without impra* priety^Internal improvements, which have always been regarded as standing upon different grounds from those to which I have referred. 1 allude to such as have for their object the improvement of our

to Congress. I jrill the first session Congress

constitution, as nsvided by law, that snouk

all expensetfwbichshouldaccrue from arc! (after the lath day of Augqfft, 178s), in the neceswffy support and roainUinance and repairs of all light-houses, beacons, buoys, public piers, erected, placed, o^sunk bar fore the passage of the act, within any inlet, harbor, or port of the United States, for rendering the navigation thereof easy and safe, should be defrayed out of the Treasury of the United Stales and further, that it should be the duly of the Secretary of Ihe Treasury to provide by contracts, with the approbation #f the President, for rebuilding, when necessary and keeping in good repair the light-hous es, beacons, buoys, and public piers in the several States, and for furnishing them with supplier

Appropriations for similar objects have been continued from that lime to the pre sent without interruption or dispute. As a natural consequence of the increase and extension of our foreign commerce, ports of entry and delivery have ^een multiplied and established, not only upon our seaboard, but in the interior of the country upon our lakes and navigable rivers. The convenience and 6afety of this commerce have led to the gradual extension of these expenditures to the erection of light houses, the placing, planting, and sinking of buoys, beacons, and piers, and to the removal of partial and temporary obstructions in our navigable rivers, and in the harbors upon our great lakes, as well as on the seaboard.

Although I have expressed to Congress my apprehension that these expenditures have sometime been extravagant and disproportionate to the advantagesto be derived from them, I have not fell it to be my duty to refuse my assent to bills containing (hem, and have contented myselfto follow in this respect in the footsteps of all my predecessors. Sensible, however, from experience and observation, of the great abuse to which the unrestricted exercise of this authority by Congress was exposed, 1 have prescribed a limitation for the Government of my own conduct, by which expenditures of this character are confined to places below the ports of entry or delivery established by law. 1 am very sensible that this restriction is not as a satisfactory as could be desired, and that much embarrassment may be caused to the Executive Department in its execution, by appropriations for remote, and not well-un-derstood objects."

But as neither my own reflections, nor the lights "tfhich I may properly derive from other sources, have supplied me. with a belter, I shall continue to apply my best exertions to a faithful application of the rule upon which it is founded. I sincerely regret that I could not give my assent to the bill entitled "An act to improve the nauigation of the Wabash river," but I could not have done so without recediug from the ground which I have, upon the fullest consideration, taken upon this subject, and of which Congress has been heretofore apprized, and without throwing the subject again open to abuses which no good citizeni entertaining my opinions, could desire. 7^

I rely tfpon the intelligence and candor of my fellow citizens, in whose liberal indulgence I have already so largely participated, for a correct appreciation of my natives iu interposing, as I have done, on this and other occasions, checks to a course of legislation which, without, in the slightest degree, calling in question the motive^ of others, I consider as sanctioning improper and unconstitutional expenditures of public treasure. 1 am not hostile to internal improvements, and wish to see them extended to every part of the country. But I ana fully persuaded, if they are qot commenced in a proper manner, confllied to proper object, and conducted under an authority generally conceded to be rightful, that a successful prosecution of them cannot be reasonably expected. The attempt will meet with resistance where it might otherwise receive support, and instead of strengthening the bonds of our confederacy, it will only multiply and aggravate the causes of disunion. ^4 ANDREW JACKSON

WUH

FRANCE.

On a hasty perusal of that part of the President'* Messuge'relating to our affairs with France, together with the remedy proposed to enforce the conditions of the Treaty, the press, without reference to party distinction*, were of opinion that France is altogether in the wrong, and that the honor of the Nation might possibly call for an appeal to arms should the French Government persist^in its refusal to do us justice. YVe are, however, a thinking People—and a more considerate and close examination of botbsidesof this question Has induced many to pause before entirely condemn the French Government, and to hesitate before we adopt the proposed remedy to redress our wrongs. It is not ic the aaturc of any Government to reject a treaty without some cause, nor should we insist upon the ratification of any part of that treaty if it is shown that it is founded in error. Nations, in this respect, are like individuals, and mutual errors must be corrected. We propose to bear both sides of the question, and with this view we subjoin the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on a debate for making the appropriations |o carry the treaty into effect for by the charter of the French Government, although the ireatvjhaking power is in the king and his cabinet, yet payment of all subsidies growing out of treaties must be authorized by the Chamber of Deputies, in the same manner that Congress must consent to all appropriations to carry treaties into effect.

And here It is proper to state, that the King of the French has been most aucourteously treated by the President, in being accused, with the ChaoaWr of Deputies,of a breach of faith, when Jy^ji certain l&$t

^!WW

add that at [ifce nfing did ail in hie power to carry that the

treaty intp effect, but he had the people against him, and could not control the Chamber of Deputies and this attack on Louis Phillipe, we are apprehensive, may wound the feelings of a high-minded and gallant people—because, as the King can do no wrong according to the principles of a monarchical government, an attack on his character as a gentleman, or a man of honor, is considered, and justly so, as an attack on the nation.

Let us, however, be distinctly understood. We have icason to believe, from facts in our possession, that a war with France is meditated by the President, and that the fulfilment of the treaty is not the »ole object in view. We are not without hopes that ihe French Chambers will make the appropriation, and carry the treaty into effect, for the honor of the nation but we state distinctly, that the French people, in the present condition of their affiirs, their surplus population, an uneasy, excitable community a^arge unemployed army, a powerful navy, at peace with Ihe whole world, and little commerce on the ocean, arc not averse to war with us or any oiher power, as we may be induced to believe but should it be declared, and we are driven to an appeal to arms, this Press, and those who support it, will then, as they do now, stand by the country, its Constitution and lanrs and we n»ay ven ture to say, that the great Whig parly throughout the Union will not be wanting in its duty but for the present, efforts should be made to avert the evil.

^Froro the Uni(ed Slates Gajvlte,

That part of the President's message which may be considered as of most gen eral interest, is the exposition of our relations with Francc, or rather the recommendations arising out of that exposition, for the situation of the treaty was well known. That the government of the U". Stales has been cavalierly treated by that of France, cannot be doubted gind the gasconading of Mr. Itives, after the conclusion of the treaty, though sufficiently unpleasant for Francc, could not of right be pleaded in extenuation of the refusal of the Chamber of Deputies to fulfil a treaty solemnly ratified. We are aware, that a difference exists between the King and a part of the legislative authority of France but as a foreign nation, we ought to know nothing of these parties. ./We do not recollect more than one recognition of parties by governments. It is said that Mr. Van Buren, or Mr. McLane for him, pleaded something like

pected by

change of parlies in this

country, at the Court of St. James, but whatever may have been the aggression of France, or the long suffering of the United Staies, it appears to us conliary to true policy, and

Variant

from a course to be ex

Government like France, that

we should issue a CONDITIONAL manifesto and thus make the vote of supplies which her Chambers may give, the consequences of a threat to put her good will- into a ght where it .must,apM*»r asrany byy^vol untary.

If this nation really tlinks that France has so far offended as to give just cause for war, and that all good policy requires belligerent manifesto from the President, then let the declaratfon be made but the conditional act, the law aulhorising reprisals IF the money shall n«l have been paid, is so offensive, that the money, we fe ir, CANNOT be paid. It is in this ght that we view the recommendation of the President and whether the recommendation be acted on or not by Congress, the message goes forth as the voice of Ihe Executive, sustained by the. popular voice, and hence injury may, perhaps must, result—for the United Stalts must not wilhdraw her threats without the fulfilment of hc conditions on .vhich they were made.

FRON WASHINGTON*

A Washington cerrespondent, under date of Dec. 8th, says: There lias noting transpired here to day worth nothing—Congress has adjourned over till Monday, as you will see by the proceed• ings—there will be but little fftre and not much smoke before the commencement of a new year. In the mean lime our heroic President and hi* troops at the Palace will be all agog for every speck of news from France. The old, staid members of fhe Jackson party think the tone of Ihe Mes* sage quite too indiscreet, and totally unworthy of a shrewd and intelligent statesman. I hear it was altogether cooked up in the Kitchen, and when put upon the la* ble of the parlor Cabinet, it was found to be so unsavoury as to throw the whole concern almost into an influenza, but the General said it was most delicious and the best dish that had been served up since he had been President--that it was fuIL+of blood and garbage, and (hat it should be served £tp for Congress and the whole Na. tion—and so he blurted out the war message against France in defiance of the opinion of sage advisers, and the true interest and honor of the counfry." j|g| BtUimorc Patriot.
