The HARBOUR-BILL alias TIVE INTERNAL,
IMPROVEMENT BKL.

Inns Dill, winch contained at first only an appro-
prlation OF $4,000, has been since s,velled by log
rolling amendments, calculated TO command friends
ana votes, TO 81, 100000! 1t contains among other
items, $4,000 for removing Instructions tn the Cum
berland riUer, 10000 for the Cumberland rond sc
&c. &c. Can this bill pass the Senate2 USu he
President sanction II? The N. Y. American rather
sneerIngy says: "The President will have another
opportunity of putting his peto Oh internal improve
ments, should the bill which passed the House on
saturday be adopted by the Senate"-A Cores
pondeht OF the NJ Y. Il. Journal nsutngly says that
ln the House the Harbour Bill rs il is denoninated
was read the third lime this afternoon, and passed
," very .o,o"s .i Improbable discussion Ii
tuuonal scruples he may find some items i'm this Dill
that demand the exercise of his uetoin
But VIII he dare to return il to the House? Rather
IMAM leopard his election by the act his secret coun
sellers will advise against il. So the Harbour Bill
you may rely on it, will become law"
we hope, and believe, that it will not become a
law We trust, that the President ,eiW dare to re-
tMn II to the HouSe-although it might leonard his
election.
The rightfd renedy.-The State Rights Party of
South Carolina are for .Nidiifcaiion-The Union
Party in favor ola Southey9, Contention I, move
IN concert and to determine what is best TO be done
put the NuttUerS, who are for arresting the exc
cuuon OF an U. s. Law within the boundaries of
their own State, are stgmatisine this plan of n
Southern Convention with the names ofa breach ofhe
Constitution, with secession, disunion, treason They
declare that this scheme of conference among the
oppressed States is contrary to the Constitution; be-
cause IT forbids any State "ener into any treatv
Alliance, &c. or to 'enter into any agreement or
compact with another State, without the consent of
Congress" &C.
But these same Nullifers, who quote so much of
hr: Jehersohs resolutions as are in favor of Nuf-
cauon, throw away so much of them as PROPOSES ga
committee of conference and correspondence TN he
appointed who shall have in charge to communicates
the preceding resolutions the Legislatures of the
several States" &c. &c. and "to communicate, by
L mr. pgg nTgI
whatever, 'o'h any person persons who may he
appointed by any one more of the .StaLes to cor
respond or confer ioih Hen," &c.
ana what says Il contemporaneous Exponent of
the Constitution? (The 10th No. of the Federast \
I-"But ambitious encroachments of the FedereI CO.
vernment, Oh the authority of the State Governments
would not excite the Opposition of single State or
OF fet0 States only They would be signals of gener-
al alarm Every government would espoUse tho
common cause. n correspondence ioould be oDened
Plans OF resistance would be concerted" &c
But IT IS earnestly hoped that such compromise
may be adopted by the present Congress, as NAV
sperSede the necessity of any concert any Southern
Convention mot to speak at all Of Nidljfcation)
THE TABULAR CRITICISM.
The u s. Telegraph has pubsheda sort of criticism on
Mr. McLane's Proet lie parades his cures in formal
Table and attempts TO show, that the Bill will produce
revenue Of 20 millions. An able article the Globe has
len into the gossest misakesand adds one more proof IN
the many which already before the public that this
sonage is mere political Charlatan We oiau nntice
these statements hereafter.
/ Washington Correspondent in the Charleston Mcrcu-
~ arns THAT IN the Letter which accompanies his Bill

$'OOOOOO on the unprotected leaving S5 900 TO be
levied on imports; which if SO 100000 be added for the
public lands, would leave Sls 900 600 Of annual re-
venue at least 900 more than the public egencies
require does the reader say, when he recoects
,hat Mr. McLane puts the tchoie yeUenue (incllding
land saleD at only Is mlIions-by his late Comparative
Statement only about IL IL milons2 And what would
nc say " this faithful Correspondent should turn out 10 be
