NASHVILLE ROAD BILL-W give TODAY.
the Presidents Message, assigning his reasons for re-
lecting this bill. We have given this document
very deliberate examinations and ahoughit profess
es to give the Presidents views the subjects of In
ternal improvements and Domestic Manufac tures,
plainly and without Disguise, yet the reader we an.
pTehend. will find it difficult 10 determine after Pc
rusal of the message, what those views really are
The message is done up in the true Van Buren, style
and is kind OF Ola podridG from which each can
select something to suite his palate. II appears TO
that the President the following positions
l. That Congress does not possess the power 10 con-
struct Roads Canals
2. That Congress has the power to subscribe to
works of Internal Improvement commenced by
any State.
3. That Congress has the power so to subscribe
unless the work be OF q national character.
a. That Congress IS not competent to determine whe
ther such work be or be not Of national charac
ter; and
g. That the Constitution should be altered so as to
designate the works 10 which appropriations may
be made
The President processes great friendship for Inter
nal Improvements, and gravey us, that al
though he refuses to sanction appropriations to
those Objects yet the time may arrive, when no NAV
be more sin the vein " He gives us great consola-
ton the assurances that ifthe desire of the States
for Internal improvements SIS not gratified now IL
does not fofiow that IL neUer iOiH be- I've thank him
for this well timed nformation as il may prevent nb-
solute despair For his condescension we could al
most give him the Spanish sautation, may you lice a
thousand years--but that we are disnclined to pro-
erastnate the works of Internal Improvement for so
long a time.
We have neither time nor room for review of this
message at present. II s not calculated 10 confer
"mmorta praise" on its author, nor Ia advance the
pretcnsions of Mr.. Van Buren, to the Presidency.
