Without a well regulated s stem of internal improvement, tins exhausting mode of appropriation is not likely to le avoided, and the olain ci'iii-eqiionee must be, either a con-'ti'i.iui-e f the national debt, or u resort to nidi . iial taxes.

he right to appropriate ,e .u, y to .in! in
the construction of national win' s. to lie
warranted bv the co-tempor;iiieous and
continued exposition of the Constitution,
its insnthcieney for iho successful prosecution of them, must be admitted bv all can-
Jid minds. If we look to usao-o, to define
the extent of the right, that will be found so
variant, and embracing so nnich that has
been overruled, as to involve the whole sub
ject in great uncertainty, and to render the execution of our respective duties, in rela
tion to it, replete with difficulty and embarrassment. It is in regard to such works, and the acquisition of additional territory, that the practice obtained its first footing. In most, if not all other disputed questions of appropriations, the construction of the Constitution mav be reaided as
unsettled, if the right to apply money, in
very friendly to such improvement, but
whether lie would sujn a bill, making appropriation for any National work of the kind, lie docs not it-II us, but leaves us lo infer that he would not. The ostensible reasons: that he assigns for his present veto are, that the road i s local in its character, not of general or National interest, and iiie reduced state of the finances. In out judgment, neither f these grounds an at all suttaiiiable. The road will nut direc tly h rou gh the centred!' Iho state of Kentucky, in the stiaighest direction to Narhville and Nexv Oilcans. I ; commences at the Ohio 1 iv r r, which intersects the n re.tt ( timberland road, ami, const tpteiiliv, is as much nf a National route as any that could be selected. It xv ill pass ihioiigh a ery thickly settled, rich and highly cultivated region, ami was emphatically considered us the commencement only of a great highway, that,
in due time, vvoald extend to Iho city of
New Oi lcans. The finances of this coun
try have, all along, been ample, and if now at till ( tippled, it is caused by a plan of (he Administration if self, probably conceived with an express design to put a stop to ln'.ernal Improvement on accounts cl the General Government. We allude to the infamous and iniquitous Indian bill, which, by
the unparalleled exertions of the Jackson party, has just become a law. That bill already appropriates from tlie Treasury,
more than three times the sum renuiied for
jthe Maviville bill, acd, in effect, pledges the
to'.e rt.tr.er.t for tlie enormous additional sum of iihout sj 2.00i ),000. It is for this reason, that the state of the finances creates an objection in the mind of the President, to the important Western road bill. I lie veil is flimsey, and may be easily seen through . Nothing can be more manifest than I hat Gen Jackson intends lo sustain the South-
tin Policy, in regard to Internal Inprovements, tlespite of Western fiiends and vNestern interest, o remedy his constitutional scruples, lie recommends an amendment of the Constitution. It is impossible that he can longer be sustained by Western men He, however, is undisguised in his sentiment:?, in this message, concerning tlie Tariff lie unequivocally advocates it, and will therefore bring upon his head the denunciations of South Carolina Who, then.
