ternal improvements. on the ground ha; those ap.
preparations are unconstitutional and this, al
though contained in acts signed by himself! so that
if the APPROXIMATIONS constitutional, he violates
his oath of Office in not executing them if upcon-
stitutional he violated that oath when he signed
the bill
1t was foretod. that fhe were elected the great
cause of internal improvement would be jeoparded,
which more than any thing in the physical con-
dton of the country, the continued union of its far
distant parts depends Althor sh it is exceedingly
difficult to extract from the Maysville road veto,
the precise notion which the President entertalns
on this subject and although it is utterly impossi-
Bile, by any artihce OF metaphysics, to draw line
between several Improvements, which he has sane
toned and several which he has petOed yet 1t is
matter of boast among his partzlns at the South,
that no more roads and canals are to be made, and
no more improvements of rivers attempted, during
his admins ration.
The support to be expected from the Chic Mag
istrate for the domestic industry of the country
was likewise matter OF doubt and alarm. Since his
accession to power his influence on this great in
tcres has never been felt but in the distraction and
embarrassment Of It's friends. The reference in
the veto message on the bank is too obvious TO be
mistaken 1t is there declared that q most of the
dIfhculties our government now encounters, and
most of the dangers which impend over our Union,
have sprung from the abandonment OF the legit-
islatiOn, and the adoption of such principles as are
embodied in this act. Many of our rich men have
not been content with equal protection and equal
benefits but have besought us to make them richer
by act of Congress By attempting to crafty their
de res. have. in tue results of our legislation,
arrayed section against section, interest against in
terest and man against man, in fearful commo-
tlon which threatens TO shake the foundations OF
our Union 1t is time TO pause IN our career to re-
view our principles, and If possible, revive that
devoted patriotism and spirit o: compromise which
distinguished the sages of the revolution, and the
fathers of our Union. If we cannot at once, in
justice to interests rested ander imprOrident egis
idtion, make our Government what it ought to be,
we can, al least, take stand against all new grants
OF monopoes and exclusive privileges, against any
prostitution of our Government to the advancement
of the few at the expense of the many and in favor
OF compromise and gradual reform il our code of
laws and system of political economy" No one
Will deny that the g lmprovident legislation" here
aimed at the series OF laws passed for the protec
ton ard encouragement of manufactures And it
may be observed, that the vote of the President is
recorded in favor of the tariff of 1884, the only one
passed while he was member OF Congress- passed
too at period when " the interests vested" under
this legislation were not yet important enough, to
require majority OF the New Eng land members of
Congress to vote fer the law.
1t was foretold that the great institutions OF
the country would be endangered under his
administration. The continued existence of
that institution which sends a sound currency
