Here, again, the President alludes to In,
national debt. Il cannot be intended t.
accuse the friends of internal improvement
of an intention to delay the payment OF tina
debt. They might challenge the world t.
shew one act, or the utterance OF one word
i'm favour of such an act Of injustice. The
truth Is. there Is a certain sum approprl
aIed, annually, to the payment Of this debt
That sum will discharge It IN 1881, anC
there cannot be Il statesman 10 the natl0I
who would wish to disturb the appropra
J ton The desire and the eudeayour 10 pay
off this debt. Is not new thing, nor the
property Of any administration. II has
been the desire and The labour of all MOI
would the diversion Of the sum;thus appro
prated, be required for tie purposes Of
internal improvement The friends OF m
provement, while IN power, executed then
work without invading that fund. The
schedule of bills depending before Con
gress, annexed by the President to his mes
sage, ought ~ alarm no one. How many
of these bills may pass, no one knows
g. But this we may rest assured OF, that eacl
Congress will exercise II sound discretion
as to each subject presented, ard pass o
reject 1t, according to IFS Importance OIL
merit. And this discretion will be eXer
cised by each Congress, with proper re
gard to the disposable amount OF revenue
on hand We may rest assured that eacl
future Congress will be actuated, as mucf
as the present, or any that Is past, by q
sense of duty, and laudable desire to pre-
serve their popularity. No one Will be
hardy enough to continue or augment the
national debt, or SO to legslate about IN
ternal Improvements, as 20 render the I'M
position of additional taxes necessary
He is unfit to make laws, or to execute
them, who supposes that all prudence, all
virtue and patriotism, will cease with the
termination Of his authority. President
jackson is too wise to entertain such no
tions as these, and he does not entertain
them. Doubtless at each session many
schemes of Improvement will be presented,
and many which the wisdom Of Congress
