Mr.. Crump called for the ayes and nn-r.-.---
He said gentlemen talked OF economy. W,mt
ne asked, was the expense of a few DAYS en-
pioyed upon this bin, compared with the saw
ing it would occasion ia Time to come ? Ii was.
IN the power Of the House TO give effect 10
the bin, which he could not consider as lost.
His sentiment WAS that of one who had no pr-A
vate interest TO cons,lt--of one who had tast-
cd of the cup OF public life, aud found no
sweets IN ii--of one who would not exchange,
the comforts of his home and his Preside for
all the pomp aud s'itterag array OF oiiice and
of place.

next legislature might raise the pay, and ann-
Their reduce it---so as to have the matter A.

The bill to establish new county out of

1ntelligencer again seriously rely Upon The
power A" to regulate commerce between the
several states 2" What then becomes of lin.
commentary of the Federalist, showing why this
clause was introduced into the constitution
Then, why are other powers specially given in
the constitution, such as the power TO regulate
weights, measures & coins, which have al least
as much connection with the power TO regulate
internal commerce, Jas thcrisht toercct roadsand
dig canals The truth is, ifyou can thus extra
vagantly extend any one clause in the consti-
tuition, you render some other clauses super
fuous. You not only violate the plain COM
mon sense meaning of its provisions, but
you render the instrument tautoloaous and
absurd. Mr.. Madison, when he put his veto
upon the former gigantic bill for internal inn
provements truly said that such u power was
never meant to be conyeyed.-But both hous-
es OF tie present Congress have appointed
committees of roads and canals. This, we
presume, settles the whole question Irresisti-
bic argument indeed. Stronger than " TN C
law and the prophets -
