The public grounds in other parts of the city
have been very much improved by fencing, drain
ing, and planting
The present commissioner ofpublic buildings
has certainly, in measures, removed the stig
ma cast upon us by the witty poet:
That our squares were " morasses,"
And our I" obelisks" were " trees"
In making these remarks, we must omit to
MENTION on account of the length to which they
have been extended, many improvements which
deserve very particular notice; amongst winch
are the grading of New Jersey Avenue in the
public reservation near the canals and feplant-
ing with trees Pennsylvania Avenue. In the
whole of these Improvements, one general re-
mark must be obvious to every citizen, namely,
that the President of the United States and the
Commissioner of Public Buildings have mani
tested very friendly regard to the prosperity
of the City of Washington. II now only re-
mains for Congress to shew that feeling which
Dr.. Sutherland has justly expressed, that this
city is the city Of the Union and that, whatever
public money is expended here, is expended for
the benefit of the United States; and let the
Americans learn to think and say, like the
Greeks and Romans, French, and English, when
viewing their public works and edi6ccs, these
are OURS.

Speaker Sterenson.-h seems to have been
generally understood that this gentleman would
long since have received the reward of his tolls,
but for the strength he was supposed TO carry id
his own district Another reason for deferring
his claims to executive preferment is to be found
in the policy of tickling the pride of Virginia by
continuing one of her representatives in the
Speakers chair.
The city of Richmond, with the counties form
ing his district, have, in the recent elections,
presented an undivided and determined phalanx
Of opposition against Jacksonism, and thus given
notice to Mr.. s. that he shall never more speak
fer them, and we doubtnot that he will take care
to have his foreign mission Immediately forth
coming, and equally good care not to let his con-
stituents have another crack at him.

Senate proceedings, on Monday, that
the Presidents advisers recoil from
their own act; and alarmed at the uni
versal burst of Indignation, excited in
every bosom that does not harbor the

trines of Executive power, asserted in
the Protest-have written for him an
explanatory message, which purports
to qualify, what he has treason to be-
lieve" may be Inexperienced, in the
language of the Protest.
The utter and irreconcileable incon-
sistency of the amendments of the Pro-
test and those of the Postscript, can in
no way be so effectually exposed, as
by printing certain extracts in parallel

We gave in our last some of the most pregnant
passages from the Executive Protest against the
resolution adopted by the Senate. We had in
tended to publish also the explanatory message
Of the President, but it was crowded out We
give it below and in order that its utter contra
diction oil the most important and alarming as
sumption of Executive absolutism contained in the
Protest, may be more distinctly noticed by our
readers, we copy an article from the New York
American, in which the inconsistency of the
two documents is fully displayed by printing
the important passages in opposite columns.
The following Message of the Presi-
dent of the United States to the Senate.
was received and read in that body,
on Monday the a2d inst.
To the Senate of the United States:
Having reason to believe that GER
tain passages contained in my Message
and Protest, transmitted to the Senate
on the 18th instant, may be misunder-
stood, | think it proper to state that it
was not my intention to deny, in the
said Message, the power and right of
the Legislative Department to provide
by law for the custody, safe keeping,
and disposition of the public money
and property of the United States.
Although | am we'll satisfied that
such a construction is not warranted
by any thing contained in that Mes
sage, yet aware, from experience, that
detached passages of an argumenta-
i've document, when disconnected from
their context, and considered without
reference to previous limitations, and
ne particular positions they were
Intended to refute or to establish, may
emade to bear a construction varying
atogether from the sentiments really
Entertained and intended to be express
ed; and deeply solicitous that my
news on this point should not, either
low or hereafter, be Inexperienced,
nave deemed it due to the gravity of
ne subject, to the great interests it in
yves, and to the Senate, as well as
myself, to embrace the earliest OPP
Wtunty to make this communication.
! admit, without reserve, as | have
,ore done, the constitutional power
me Legislature to provide by law
place or places in which the pub
money or other property is TO be
posted; and to make such regula-
Ins concerning its custody remova-

Congress to appoint such agent or trus-
tee, independent of the President, is
indirectly but plainly admitted. There
is no escape from these palpable con-
traditions; and the only explanation
OF this attempt to fritter away the ar
rogant and insupportable pretensions
of the Protest is, that the worthy and
lofty stand, taken upon the instant, by
the Senate, in defence gifts own rights
and of the Constitution, frightened the
conspirators from their purpose.
Let thislstand be persevered in. The
people are with the Senate, and toge.
Their they will disenthrall the country.
