Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1830-05-19

- The frequent calls which are made at
our once from subscribers, for their papers in the
morning, lead US to believe that they are stolen
from their doors. We will give a reasonable ,e-
ward tor the detection of any rascal stealing
newspaper. Our Carriers, we believe, are no.
nest and attentive, and we do not think the fault
ct negiecting subscribers lies with them.

~ We have received note from an old and
esteemed friend and subscriber, in which. after
paying US many undeserved compliments, he saws
that he looks for the Gazette as regularly as his
breaktast-that without the one he has no relish
for the other; and that, therefore, it becomes
matter of serious moment to him to secure the
paper from the borrowers who regularly infest
has doors. This he is not able to do, and the
consequence is that our good friend has his tenn
per often soured for whole day. He requests
US to say that he will pay for and send at his own
expense the Gazette for one year to any one
who will undertake to ensure him the perusal of
his paper for the same length of time free from
any dan or borrower whatsoever. The substance of
our friends note is given. We hope twill be
attended to. To HIM and his pests however, we
recommend Polonius' advice to his son,

The question fairly pW.-A bill has passed
both Houses Of Congress, authorizing asubscIip-
ton, on the part of the United States, in the
Maysvile Turnpike Company, and approprlating
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of the
Treasury. TO pay the amount of the shares to be
subscribed. This bill is now before the Presi-
dent. The question is-ipiN he sign IL? 1t is
clear case of Internal Improvement. There is
no giving it any other name, or finding for the
bill any other possible ground to stand on. 1t is

hundred and hftv thousand dollars towards max

jackson signs this bill, he aiirns the Constitu-
tional existence of the powcrof Internal Improve

In Mr. Ritchies opinion, the election ots Gene

what he considers its just extent. The matter
is now brought to test; let him note the sequel:
