v 4 importance in asrouch as to addition (o the j
Pydiingcra of unequal improvident expendi4uros of public moneys common to all, there is superadded to that the conflicting jurisdiction of the respective governments. Federal jurisdiction at least to the extent I have stated, has teen justly regarded by its advocate?, as necessarily appurtenant to the power in question, if that exists by the constitution. That the most injurious conflicts would unavoidably arise between tho respective jurisdictions of the State and Federal Govcrncments, in tho absence of a constitutional provision marking out their respective boundaries, cannot be doubted. The local advantages to to obtained would induce the States to over look in the beginning the dangers and difficulties to which they might ultimately le exposed. The powers exercised by the Federal Government would soon be regarded with jealousy by tho State authorities, and originating as they must from implication or assumption, it would be impossible to afiix to them certain and safe limits. Opportunities and temptations to the assumption of power incompatible with State sovcreisntv, would be increased, and those barriers which resist the tendency of our system towards consolidation greatly weakened. The officers and ogents of the General Government might not always have the discretion to abstain from intermeddling with State concerns; and if they did, they would not always escape the suspicion of
having done so. Collisions and consequent irritations would spring up that harmony which should ever exist between the General Government and each member of t lit,
me onteucracy, would be irequently interrupted a spirit of contention would be engendered and the dangers of division greatly multiplied.
let wo all know, that notwithstanding these gravo objections, this dangerous, doctrine was at one timo apparently proceeding to its final establishment with fearful rapidity. Tho desire to embark the Federal Government in works of internal improvement, prevailed in the highest degree, during the first session of the first Congress that I had the honor to meet in my present situation. When the bill authorizing a subscription on the part of the United States for stock in the Maysvillc an Lexington Turnpiko Companies, passed the two Houses, there had been reported, by the Committee of internal improvements, bills containing appropriations for 6uch objects, exclusive of those for the Cumberland Jtoad, and for harbors and light houses 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 tho stock of different companies to a great extent, and tho residue was principally for the direct construction of roads by this Government. In addition to these projects, which had been presented to tho two Houses, under the sanction and recommendation of their respective Committees on Internal Improvements, there were then still pending before the committees, and in memorials to congress, presented but not referred, different prov jeek for works of a similar character, the expense of which cannot be estimated with certaintv, but must have exceeded ml one hundred millonsof dollars. Regarding tho bill authorizing a subscription to the stock of tho Maysville and Iexington Turnpiko Company as the en
tcring wedge of a system, which however
woak at first, might soon becomes strong
enough to rive the bands of the Union a
sunaer, ami believing that it its passage
w as acquiesced in by the Executive at: J
the people, there would no longer be any limitation upon the authority of the Gen
eral Govcrnn.ent in respect to tha appro
priation of money for such objects,! deem
d it an imperative duty to withhold from
it the executive approval. Although, from
the obviously local character of that work I miht well have contended myself with
a refusal to approve the bill upon that ground, yet, sensible of the vital impor
tance ot the subject, and anxious that my
views and opinions in rejrard to the whole
matter should be fully understood bv Con . . - -. .
cress, ami bv my constituents, 1 felt it
my duty to go further. I therefore cm
braced that early occasion to apprize Con-
res, that, in my opinion the Constitution
did not conter upon it the power to autho
rize the construction ot ordinary roads
nnd canals within the limits of a State and to say respectfully, that no bill admit
Congress, until a suitablo comtitlonal provision it made upon the ubjsyid so essential do I regard the point to the highest interests of our country, that ' I could not consider myself as discharging my duty to my constituents in giving the Executive sanction to any bill containing such an appropriation. If the people of the United States, desire that the public Treasury shall Lc resorted to for the means to prosecute such works, they w ill concur in an amendement of tho constitution, prescribing a rule by which the national character of tho works is to be tested, and by which the greatest practicable equality of benefits may be secur
ed to each member of the confederacy .
1 he effects of such a regulation would be most salutary in preventing unprofitable
expenditures, in securing our legislation
from the pernicious consequences of a
scramble for the favors of Government,
and in repressing the spirit of discontent which must inevitably arise frornanpinequal distribution of treasures whicLTDc longaliketo all. S There is another class of appropriation for what may be called, without impropVietv, internal improvements, which have always been regatded as standing upon different grounds from those to w hich I have referred. I allude to such as have for thnr object the improvement of our harbors, the removal of partial and temporary obstructions in our navigable rivers, for the facility and security of our foreign commerce. The grounds upon which I distinguished appropropriations of this character from others have already been stated to Congress. I will only add that at the first session of Congress under the new constitution, it was provided by law, that all expenses which should accrue from and after the 15th day of August,
1789, in the necessary support and mainte
VINCENNES, DECEMBER 18, 1831. In order to lay before the readers of tho Sun, the excellent Message of tho President, I have anticipated my usual day of publication. "INDIANA AND HER POLITIC!." I conceive it the duty of an Editor of a public journal occasionally to take a retrospect of passing events; to balance the political Ledger, and make out an account current for the benefit of all who are desirous of learning the true situation cf political feeling, and who are anxious to ascertain the i state of parties in that section of the country in which he may be located. This duty becomes the more imperative in proportion to the means made use of by his political opponents to mislead the public mind on this subject; and who, whether "for home consumption or foreign importation," distort the facts, and misrepresent the views of their opponents, and either wilfully or ignorantly attempt to create impressions abroad, not warranted by any fact existing at home. In this account I shall briefly and candidly, fairly and honestly, state my views of the existing state of parties in this state. I shall do it with no views of creating confidence or sounding alarm. The elections are over in most of the states of the Union, and there is no necessity now either of suppressing the truth or suggesting a falsehood. The opinions of others who are opposed to the Editor of the Sun, have been given to the world in every variety of shape from the studied newspaper essay, to the more humble use of the quill in the shape of epistolary communications. Indiana has been set down as absolutely opposed to the Administration as Massachusetts; and in all the calculations which have been made on the subject of the approaching Presidential election, she has

within any bay, 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 States; and further, that it should be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to provide by contracts, with the approbation of the Pres-
dent, for rebuilding when necessary and
cepini in rood repair the light houses, bea
cons, buoys, and public piers in the several States, and for furnishing them with sup
plies. Appropriations for similar objects
have been continued from that time to the
present without interruption oruisputc. As
i natural consequence of the increase and
extension of our foreign commerce, ports of entry and delivery have been multiplied and
established; not only upon our sea-board.
Mitinthe interior ot the country, upon our
ik.es and navigable rivers. I he conven
ience and safety of this commerce have led
to the gradual extension of these expendi
tures; to the erection ot light-houses, the
dacing, planting and sinking of buoys, bea-
cons, and piers, and to the removal of partial and temporary obstructions in our navi
gable rivers, and in the harbors upon our great lakes, as well as on theseabord. Although 1 have expressed to Congress my ap
prehension that these expenditures have
sometimes been extravagant and disproportionate to the advantages to be derived from them, I have not felt it to be my duty to re
use mv assent to bills containing them, and
have contented myself to follow in this respect in the footsteps of all my predecessors Sensible, however, from experience and ob
servation, of the great abuses to which the unrestricted exercise of this authority by
Congress was exposed, I have prescribed a
imitation for the government of my own
conduct, by which expenditures of this char
acter are confined to places below the ports of entry or delivery established by law. I
am very sensible that this restriction is not as satisfactory ascouldbe desired, and that
much embarrassment mav be caused to the
Executive Department in its execution, by
nncl not well un
derstood objects. Hut as neither my own
reflections, nor the lights which I may prop
erly derive from other sources, have sup
plied me with a better; 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 navigation of the Wabash river;"
but I could not have done so without recei !
ding from the ground which I have, upoir
the fullest consideration. ta&cn unon this sub
ject, and of which Congress has been here-
How far this is so, or likely to be so, let
any unprejudiced mind determine from a consideration of the facta here mentioned. That Indiana is Democratic to the core, those who know her population, those who have mixed at all with the hardy and industrious yeomanry who till her soil cannot for a moment doubt. That circumstances wholly unconnected with general politics, may
have occasionally presented a state of things here, which would perhaps lead those who are unacquainted with our local affairs to a different conclusion, is no doubt true. That our gubernatorial election. That our elections for members to Congress, and to the state Legislature may have resulted in the choice sometimes of those who differed from the great body of the Democratic party in their views of men and measures, so far as the. general government was concerned, is also no doubt true But every candid man, belong to what party he may, must also ac
knowledge that one, or even all of these e vents have had nothing to do with the ciin
nor was U made one during the election But he had an obstacle to overcome, and it was a difficult one with the people. He was the incumbent of one office, and was running for another without resigning the first. The people generally view this as wrong, and public opinion is here against it. I do not say if this had been done the result would hate been different so far as regards governor Noble's election; but this I do say that judge Head lost many votes even of his own party who from principles avowed, had determined never to support any individual be he whom he might, who should retain the one office and its emoluments
while soliciting another. The use which was made of this argument by his opponents every one is aware of. The gubernatorial question then I repeat, had nothing to do with general politics, or with the succession to the Presidency. And it might with as much prcpriety be claimed as a Masonic triumph as a Whig one; governor Noble being both the one and the other though a Johnson man. It is necessary that our friends abroad should understand this matter. The public mind should be disabused. The Democracy of Indiana stands erect; there is no danger; she will do her duty in the approaching contest; she will be found side by side with New Ycrk and Pennsylvania with Ohio and Illinois. The signs of the times cannot be mistaken. The hand writing is on the wall. The game is understood which is attempted to be played; but let our friends not be deceived. I entertain as sincere respect and veneration for col. Johnson as any man living. I know him to be a sound patriot, an upright man, a statesman and a soldier. I should be glad to see hirn should it so be vjilled by the party with whom I am proud to act, at the head of the government. But much as I regard him; sincerely as I respect him, I can never consent to see him there but in accordance with the wish of those with whom be has acted ever since he came into political life; of those who are his true and sincere friends; of those who are willing to honor him for his own intrinsic worth and virtue; for bis chivalry; for his public and private worth; for his love of country; for his attachment to Republican principles; for his honesty, and for his patriotism. It is such men and only such that he can rely on. Others may feel disposed to use his name, but it is only to cover their own designing intrigue. It is from no good feeling towards him it is to subserve their
own views ano not nis. it is to promote msconuand disunion among those who have ever been his friends, and who will ever continue so, as long as he continues to advocate the principles he has done. But let him bewr.re of those who without one feeling in common with him; whose political principles and his own are antipodes; who hate even his name, and who if it was in their povcr would blot out of the page of ourcountn's history the gallant achievements which have shed such lustre on his, and his country's fame. Who slander bis political acts and those of the party of which he is an ornament, and yet applaud his name.

phalanx in favor of that individual, be he who he may, whom the great body of the Democratic party may designate as their ruler. The election of governor Noble as is well known throughout the state, was no evidence of any change on this subject. The majority which he obtained, large as it was, was owing to circumstances entirely unconnected with his views or opinions in relation to the next Presidency. It was created by circumstances entirely of a local character, and unaffected by any considerations arising from the Presidential question. So far as his opinions were expressed on the subject they were understood to be in opposition at least to the wishes of many ot" the party with whom he had been in the habit of acting. Even he avowed his preference for an individual (col. Johnson) who was known as one of the earliest and most devoted friends of the President; as one who was opposed to the Bank of the-United States. Who was in favor of all the Reading acts of the Administration. Tb; eto the Gold bill.

Let him beware of "the Democratic Whigs of the young West," or he may find too late that he is not the first instance in history of the "good ad great." of men who have been "betrayed by a kiss." But there is no danger. Col. Johnson as well as his friends, understand the motives of those who are now so lavish of their praise. Neither the Whigs here, or the Whiles elsewhere can deceive him or them. The bait is too apparent the vail tco thin which covers their designs.
