The States never complained, that they lacked ability to exercise these powers, nor did they create another Government to do these acts. This was not one of those evils which gave birth to the Constitution. Each State contributes its share of the taxes, direct or indirect, which make up the revenues of the gen
eral Governuent. Did Ncw-IIamp-Shiie expect, when she joined the Union, the she would be taxed to make a road for the benefit of a particular town or neighborhood in Kentucky, or any other State? Didshebhd herself to contri Lute money to make roads or dig canals for the use of the people beyond the Hudson or the Potomac, beyond the Al
legheny or Stoncy Mountains? On the contrary, did she not expect that her means of internal improvement would be left untouched by the general Government, to be applied according to the will of her own people? She lias made her own loads, and can keep them in repair. In proportion as the general Gov
ernment levies taxes to make roads in the other States, in the same proportion docs it lessen our ability to make and repair our own. Other States consume our means; and we are taxed not for "the common defence1 or ''general vtel fareM but for the convenience and profit of particular towns and neighborhoods. If such appropriations are admissible, they should be equal To each State should be given its due proportion, that the money may return to the same source whence it comes. But is even this politic, if constitutional? What should we profit by it? The tax must be collected by one set of federal officers, and distributed by another. Much would be lost in salaries, commissioners; and frauds; and often for many dollars paid by the people, few would be return cd Is it not better to collect and dis
burse this money through our own Stale officers? It it wise to introduce among
us a set of foreign officers, independent
of our will, and often hostile to our Gov-
crnm nt, to take our domestic affairs
out of our own hands, live upon our bub
Stance, weaken the State and strengthen the ptuver of the General Government? Does this not lead directly to consolidation? They will seize our roads what shall prevent their seizing our schools? U ideMhe pretence of giving us money, when in fact they procure it by a tax on ourselves, they may seize and control our schools as well as our roads Our College has already been made independent of our Government, and by an appropriation this institution may be made the propeity of the nation, and be arrayed against the rights of the State. "WL? i'-s? The same principle sweeps into -ortex, all our institutions. The gem . . Government has only to give its snoney 10 make every thing dependent on itself. At length it may pay the sal
aries ol our Governor and our J.dgvS, when New Hampshire, instead of being
a proud and independent State, will lig-ain become a humble and degraded Colony. The system of appropriations, to promote local objects, is an effort to bribe the people with their own money. TMat which is drawn from them in petty streams is thrown back to them in a Hood; and although much has evaporated since it left the pockets of the people, they are expected to look n the return 5ng remnant, as a boon of great va'u. .
Every eye is to be directed to the gener 1 Government, as the benificent source of all political good, and artful politicians attempt to buy up all that receive, all that expect, and all that hope these brilliant favors. We have more confidence in the intelligence of the people. They cannot but perceive that such a system combines robbery, bribery and fraud. They are robbed of their substance to support a set of federal officers; a bribe is offered them in promised appropriations if they will support particular men; and they are fraudulently told that this process of buying them up, with their own money, is conducive to their own
ood, and the internal improvement of
the country. A hundred millions of dollars would
not make the load and canals which have been actually surveyed in the United
htatcs. ihe revenues of the British
.Empire, tor a hundred years, would
hardly make those which have been pro
posed and talked of. We have heard of
a tail road here, a canal there; turn
pikes and improvements of rivers, every where, that a hope could be excited
or a string of self interest touched, it is an attempt at wide spread, general corruption, tending directly to the consolidaiion or disunion of the States, the destruction of democratic principles, and the extinction of liberty. Good roads arc good things but Liberty is better. The people of New Hampshire would sooner be free amidat the fastnesses of her mountains, than slaves amidst the luxury r i
