THE MAYsH,LLE ROAR.

We have considered tho message ofihe Pres
ident Of the United States, returning the bill
proposing TO make an appropriation towards
tho construction of the Maysvlle Turnpike
Road, sufficiently important 10 call for it's en-
tire publication, to the exclusion oil much ether
matter; and we have accordingly laid ii before
our readers. Previous to the appearance Ofhis
reasons for adopting the eOupe he has done in
relation to il, his opponents seemed 10 think
that it would be found 10 be very unpopular
act; but # we may judge from what we have
heard aimee tho appearance Of the message, We
may venture 10 say that they will be excssd-
ingly disappointed in their calculations. As
far as We have heard an opinion expressed
whether among The frietds or the foss Of the
President, all concur in approving Of his views
and nPpaudlng his coursOi
Such is the present rage on the subject OF
roads and canals, that il lie well that the presi.
don't has put his veto upon the unrestricted
grant Of money from tie national treasury to-
wards aiding in their construction. Had he
signed this bill, IL 10 not improbable that Con-
gtsss would have been solicited, in a short time,
to grant money in aid ofso many local improve.

the national treasury would have been INSULT
eieni to supply the demands upon il But a
reconsideration of The fate which has attended
this call, may lead 10 such discrimination be-
tween national and local objects, that while
the former are properly provided for, the treas
DRY may not be exhausted upon improper OBJ
jocis. As we'll might the people Of our state
apply to Congress- for grant OfmOnsy to make
road from this place to Dover, as for those
who are concerned inthe Maysvills road, to ask
il in their favour. The one would be as much
a national object as the other; and it is dilicnlt
to imagine what can DO called local measure
il the one upon which the President has poi
his veto DO not such. But it is useless, 10 con-
ceiVs, to dwell upon the subject. Such is tho
clearness with which tho matter 10 handled IN
the President's message, that we believe his
course will receive the cordial appreciation Of
the great body Of the nation; and that faction
may rage and fret in vain, Snd IN vain attempt

THE CHANCELLOR.

John J. Milligan, Esq. of this place, is stated
to have recsived the appointment Of Chancsl-
Tor Of this state. Mr. Miligan is highly res
pectable, and very worthy man; but, at tn
same time, We think ii must be admitted by
every Intelligent. man among Us that he is by
no means the most suitable person for the sts
lion tina, could have been selected; and that
nothing but the facts Of his being opposed to
the national administration, and certain other
persons favourable to il, have caused the APP
pontmcnt to bo given TO him. Our opponents
have talked lStgeIy and loudly about the i'm
proproty of making appointments to office, and
particularly to judicial stations, upon msro
party grounds, but sfler this display of party
devotion, lot them forever henceforih hold their
peacs.

COALITION CONSISTENCY.

When President Adams proposed to Con-
gfoss 10 send Ministers 10 attend tho Congress
at Panama, and intimAtod that no possess d
the right to appoint them without the previous
sanction Of Congress, his friends we're delight
cd Nth his views, eulogized his conduct, and
pronounced the members of the Senate, who
doubted the expediency Of the meature, and
protected against the assumption Of The Prssi-
don't, faetious opposition. When he nomina-
ted persons to ell stations upon the bench, whO
had been remarkable for their violence agairst
1.-THE election Of Gen. Jackson, just upon tho eve
Of his going out of olhcei and the Senate re-
fused to sanction the appointments which it was
proposed to make, so obviously against the
popular sentiment, and with SO manifest de-
Isgn 10 embaFrass the new Executive, the same
iPeTsons were loud in their praises Of the Prosi-
don't, and asioud in their dsnuncialions Of tho
Senate.
But since the present Executive came into
office, a very great change appears TO have ta-
ken place in their views respecting the power
ofthe President Although hey bnfose maiu-
tainsd that he had the power 10 originate mis-
sions, and appoint whom he pleased to fill them,
ihsy now deny that he can make hu own So
Election Of those who are 10 fill those which arc
provided for by law, without first obtaining the
consent Of the Senate. When the President
now makes nomination, they consider the
Senate entitled to great praise If they reject il
Their admiration Of their frmnesS, and their
& eulogies in thsir favour on account Of II know
no boundS For any one, in snch case, to
question the PropFisty Of the conduct Of the
o Senate, 10, in their estimation, mOnStTOus-it ia
horrible-it is quite past endurance. II is an
I indignity TO the Senate which, thOy would have
= il supposed, calls for the most exemplary pun
l ishmsnt; bot if the Senate coniirm' the nomi-
nation, tho tune is entirely changed, and the
members are denounced as the trucking tools
Iof the President. THERE'S then no improprie-
Inv in speaking III of them; bot on the contrary,
I,hsy cannot coin words sufficiently strong to
Isxpress their indignation and contempt.
The other day the National Journal asserted
thattho President was in doubt about thecourse

MaysVillo Turnpike poat--ihat 10 wuu oppoaod
to the mcclure, but that knowing that the 70.
lection Of il by him would be unpopular he
would for that reason, sign the bill. Il turned
out however, that he did not sign tho bill, but
returned tito Congress without his signature;
and yet the Journal aSuerts that bis rejection Of
1t was the result Of a desire to render himself
popular.
ThsNew York Commercial Advertiser speak-
ing ofthe same matter, sOys that it ia not the
province of the President to decide whether or
not particular road lie Of national Importance,
but that thisis question which belongs alono to
Congress 10 determine. Thus tho editor Of that
paper would make the President moro autotn-
atom, bound 10 approve Of what may be- dons
by Congress, and carry ,hsir views into effect,
BY giving 10 their acts tho sanction ofhis name,
contrary to his own judgment, when, without
such sanction, their acts would have no binding
effect. If the Editor can make good his posi-
sion, the Presidents rejection Of tho bill is Of
no consequence, and /. is law notwithstand-
ing his refusal to sign it, Tho fact, however is,
that it is this Presidcnt's duty to judge Of this
matter, and unleHs q messurs such as he sup
poses is Oflocal and not national i,nportaneo
can obtain tho votes of more than two-thirds Of
tho members Of Congress in its favour, it il his
province TO decide against II, by refusing to give
\ his sanction, The President is not mere
who is bound to act without tho exor-
else Of any judgment of his own, according to
the views and wishes Of others. This same
Editor approved of Mr.. Adams message in
which he advised the members Of Congress not
to suffer themselves 10 be Palzed by the will Of
their constituents. Such is coalition consistency.
