law of the land, and the Judges of
every state shall be bound thereby,
any thing In the constitution or
laws of any state to the contrary
notwithstanding :" Such view
OF the constitution, finally, would
have the effect of excluding the iu-
dicial authority of the United
States from its participation in
guarding the boundary between the
legislative powers ofthe generaland
the state governments, inasmuch as
questions relating to the general
welfare, being questions of policy
and expectancy, are unsusceptible
otJudicial cognziance and decision.
A restriction of the power g to
provide for the common defence
and general welfare" to cases
which are to be provided for by the
expenditure of money, would still
leave within the legislative power
OF Congress all the great and most
important measures OF government;
money being the ordinary and ne
cessary means of carrying them in,
to execution.
1t a general power to construct
roads and canals, and to improve
the navigation Of water courses,
with the train of powers incident
thereto, be not possessed by Con-
gress, the assent of the states, in
the mode provided in the bill can
not confer the power. The only
cases in which the consent and
cession of particular states can ex-
tend the power of Congress, are.
those specified and provided for in
the Constitution.
| am not unaware of the great
importance ofroads and canals, and
the improved navigation of water
courses; and that a power in the
national legislature to provide for
them, might be exercised with sig
nal advantage to the general pros
perity. But seeing that such a pow.
eris not expressly given ythe con.
stltntlon; and believing that it can
not be deducedlfrom any part oft,
without an inadmissible Latitude of
construction, and a reliance on in
sufficient precede1ts believing,
aiSo,t that a permanent success Of the
constitution depends on definite
partition Of powers between the ge-
neral and state governments, and
that no land marks would be lett.
by the constructive extension of the
powers of Congress, as proposed in
the bill, | have no option but to
withhold my signature from it !;
cherlshlng the hope, that its bene-
flcIal objects may be attained, by a
resort for the necessary powers; to
the same wisdom and virtue in the
nation, which established the con
stltution in its actual form and pro-
Violently marked out in the iI4stru-
ment itself, and safe and practical
bic mode Of improving it. as expe-
renee might suggest.
