yesterday returned the Maysvills Road Bill
to the House Of Representatives, with a rsfu-

an opinion that he would sign it, Thi. son
lecture was not founded on any belief that he
was friendly TO internal improvements: Tor
the time had long before passed when Gen
Jackson cosid DO considered friendly to that

position that he, or his advisers, had at least

Times" to know and feel that no Admiuistra.

stand in this country. We are aware that
| The presentation of the bill for his signature
would previously embarrass him; as It would
force him eut OF the hiding place in which he
had SO long sheltered opinions which the A
mercan people had so just a claim 10 DO

venture to oppose tho executive reto to tho

the American people had repeatedly and en-
| phsticslly declared that they con sidsred es

sonai interest sometimes inparts to the hum
