THE NASHVILLE ROAD

We have considered the message of the President Of
the United States, returning the bill proposing TO make
an appropriation towards the construction Of the NAYS
vile Turnpike Road, sufficiently important to call for
It's entire publication TO the exclusion Of much other
matter; and we have accordingly laid il before rea.
ders Previous to the appearance Of his for
adopting the he has don. relation to IT, his on.
poasns seemed to think tina, would be found to be
very unpopular act; but may Judge from what we
have heard since the appearance Of the message, we
may venture to cav that they will he exceedingly dissp
pointed in their calculations. As far as we have heard
an opinion expressed, whether among the friends or .ns
Toes OF the President all concur in approving Of HE
views and appaudng his course.
Such Is the present rage the subject of roads and
canals, that IL Ia well that the President ha. put his
to upon the unrestricted grant Of money from the nation
al treasury towards aiding in their truction. Had
he signed this bill, II ia not improbable that Congress
would have been solicited, in a short time, to grant
money in aid OF so many local improvements in which
the nation has no interest. that the national treasury
would have been insufficient TO supply tho demands
upon H. But consideration Of the fate which has
tended this CALL may lead TO such alton be-
tween national and local objects, that while the former
are properly provided for the treasury may be
hau,ted upon improper objects As we mig ut the p.o-
pie OF state apply TO Congress for a grant of ,-y
to make road from This place to Dover fer those
who are concerned in the Maysvie road, 10 ask il in
their favour. The would he much national OBJ

graces our columns to day. We say grdces, for il
opea, manly and fearless assumption OF responsibility
5a'ed upon honest constitutional scrupes and devp-
lion to the faith and int gritty OF tho nation;
with clear views and sound arguments IN impair, Gre
ilt, then inieed Ia this excellent document entitled TO
all the consideration which such characteristics can
claim. The President has manully thrown himself
into the breach regardless of the Influence which
onal Interests and feelings awaken, and asserted the
nviolablity OF the constitution and the faith ui the pub
lie. For this, IA for the numerous other OF d-cs.
ion and integrity, which have marked bis career w.
believe he will receive anew the paud's of the liberal
enlightened aud patriotic Of his couatrymen. Thsy
will real his message and il with that canior of
mind peculiar TO the great body of the American
pie, and 10 their mpaaliiy Of judgment, their integ
rity OF heart is il committed with the conf ling spirit OF
father and a friend
The spirit for internal improvements. which the nu
merous roads projected throughout the Union ha. al
most universally infused, has led, il is we'll known to
applications almost numerous, congress for aid in
their construction, by subscription. During The pre-
sent session OF Congress alone, bills authorizing
Pen1iture OF several millions for objects OF local i'm
provemen have been passed, while others have he en-
propo'ed, which, if enacted, would have requced an
amount of money no shor, of ten millions than
ment of the public debt should be delayed Congress,
made provision for such delay, nor do we Thick the
people would desire it. The exins ushment of the
national debt liz desired by every true heart in The
conntry and under the presen, system il will b. lau
dated in few years more. Wh-n that grand Oh ect
'hil have been accompl'hed there will then be the
treasury FVrplus sufficient meet all reasonable d.
mands in favor OF works of internal improvement.
The Maysvlle road like thousand. OF other roads in
the country, is exclusively of local or state charac
ter and so far az it the people of any other

road company would have COOL right 10 exact or
demand subscriptions from the general government In

haye no Goubt are national in their character the
Maysville road II the PRESIDENT had sanctioned this
bill, what road canal company in the Union could
have been restrained from applying Congress for ad

ton and favor? To wha, extent these demands would
be carried is beyond calculation. Nothing but ALSO
ule bankruptcy other than the Presidents inter ference
could have checked their course, for the amount re
qured to meet all the probable demands of this cha.
racer would perhaps exceed the whole amount of

reminded the House that these questions had been for
some years uniformly referred to the Committee on
