The short speech of the Hon. DIXON H. LEWIS, delivered at dinner in Montgomery on the 16th ult presents more dispassonate view of the rela- tons of State, than usually met with on such occasions While his observations evince spirit of opposition to certain measures of the General Go- yernment, they remain free from that iniauation which has inspired some of the leading statesmen in South Carolina, and which now acts as dead weight to the other burthens, so irritating to the southern States. The tariff and internal improve ment the principal subjects glanced at, and in his opposition both Mir L. appears to have been go yerned by faithful regard to the obvious interests of this State, and the prcceps of the republican party on questions of such unlimited latitude. Under the disguise of carrying on works of national charoc- ter, if the new states can be persuaded into an ac- ceptance of a few hundred thousand acres of the public domain, sufficient precedent would be fur nshed for all the purposes of that splendid govern ment, contemplated by Alexander Hamilton. When therefore told that the State ofAlabama is to be so immensely beneftedby canals and roads open ed at the expense of the general government let us reflect, whether the means for doing so be not ind rectly furnished from own pockets, and whether tax so laid may not be perpetuated under the ton of those States which, from their geographical position, must ever remain exempt from an equal share of its payment.
 Until some limit can be fixed to that clause of the constitution which "providas for the general well fare" the State of Alabama may find it much the cheapest plan to make her own improvements os New- York has, without the hazard of entaing up on herself much of that boasted system which is to regulate the industry of the country, and to en- croach so steadily upon her agricultural prosperity.
