FRUIrs OF JACKSON DocTRNEs.-The inha5i-
tants of GAINESVILLE in the centre of the State OF
Ohio, have petitioned Congress to have that
place made port of entry! In the same petit
ton they ask an appropriation to make the river
Muskingum navigable to that place. Accord
ing to Gen. Jackson's doctrines, which have re-
ceiyed the sanction of his party, law, conform
ing to the request of the petitioners, would be
constitutional, while one which should only
make an appropriation for improving the river,
would be Unconstitutional. Thus, the restrict
ions of the Constitution are easily gotten round;
and, hereafter, when any grant is wanted from
the National Treasury for purposes Of internal
Improvement, it will only be necessary to create
ports of entry at one or both examinations of the
proposed Improvement.
Thus, the whole country may be intersected
with rail roads and canals by the General Go
vernment, in perfect conformity to that instru-
mcnt, which, We are told, grants no powers to
Congress for such purposes! Oh, the beauties
of consistency! Hereafter General Jackson will
be saved the necessity of any more vetoes on
such appropriations; and we may, ere long, pre-
sent a new scene of wonder and establishment
TO the old world. How will the traveller from
abroad, hereafter, be surprised to fnd-not our
sea- board, merely, but our whole interior, from
the summit of the Alleghanies to the highest
peak of the Rocky Mountains, dotted over
with ports of entrym Already, they have APP
piled for it in the heart ofour most interior States,
and we may reasonably expect that the time is
not far distant when no district of our country,
however secluded or remote from the ocean it
may be, will be without its " sea port" with the
accompanying paraphernalia ofCustom House
