complish the great and noble end, of

keeping this wide spread and glowing nation, one and indivisable, by the associating .and fraternizing powers and in

fluence of internal improvements. )( my interpretation of the oracle be right, instead of an active, efficient, henilicent principle, rich in utilify, teeming

w ith human happiness, nothing is left but a mere abstraction, vain and unprofitable. We may and do deplore it, but the fact cannot be disguised, that we have arrived at a crisis in our political affairs, when Kentucky must in self defence take her stand, cold ami heartless, if not unpatriotic, anti-internal improvement and anti-laritl Slate. She must hereaf

ter resist all appropriations from the

joint treasure of the nation, for objects

"exclusively within the limitsof a State,

no matter whether it he roads or canals, the removal of Indians, or tobuild fortification-:. How is Kentucky to prosper undera system of taxation in which there is no reciprocity of expenditure? In the support which she has hitherto given to the American System, she has never been influenced hy narrow sectional or selfish view. She has acted upon principles purely national. As an integral part of the nation she mourns over the blighted prospects of thousands of the American people, and deeply laments the blow which has been so successfully aimed at the destruction of American skill, labor and capital, to favor foreign labor, and foreign capitalists, and in the end lo bring Ibis great nation to a state of degrading and serv ile dependence on foreign powers, for the necessaries, comforts and elegancies of life. 1'ut she will have (he poor consolation to know, that in a sectional point of view , she will suffer less

under the. meditated change of policy,

lical depredation of those who shift -onl

change their own professed opinions to sustain the opressor, and through him to find their way to the National Treas ury there to banquet as the most of them have been accustomed to do, on the fruits of the labour of others, and to

riot in lhe means w hieh should have been employed in the improvement of the country. We are bound to regard the present as a time of trial and suffering. Put the injury is evanescent, and will soon pass away. We have no good reason to despair of the Republic. Compare our condition with thai ofothcr nations, and our hearts must overflow with gratitude to the. great Authorofall good, for the unnumbered blessings which we continue to enjoy; and above all, for the power which yet remains in the hands of that portion of our intelligent follovvcilizens, who have no motive Ibr its exercise but lo promote the public weal.
