Now, sir does our legislation, under our Const-
tuition, furnish any precedent for all this ?
We make appropriations for the army, and we
understand what we are doing, because it is "the
army" that is TO say the army established by law.
We make appropriations for the navy; they, too,
are for "the navy" provided for and established
by law. We make appropriations for Notifications,
but we say what fortlhcatons, and assign TO each
its int ended amount Of the whole sum. This is the
usual course Of Congress on such subjects and why
should 1t be departed from ? Are we ready to say
that the power Of fixing the places for forhca-
lions, and the sum allotted TO cach the power OF
ordering ships to be built, and fixing The num-
Der of such new ships; the power oflaying out mon
ey to raise men for the army in Short every power

Gen Jackson left the Hermitage ON SUHddg,

,ept De intends Ia proceed Though the STATE, Of
r,"tuoky, Ohio and Pennsylvania. His object
in selecting this route cannot be mistaken hv the
|Jullcsl sense. 1t is IA bold and shameless effort to
cicCt, by his personal ef1orSa reaction in the pub
lie mind, in favor OF Van Baren, by publichlv es-
pOusing the pretcnsons of that arch-in,reucr, and
abusing his competitors. But we hope and be-
lcve that this prostitution Of the dignity Of his of
flee will have an effect the reverse of that anticipa-
ted by himself and his advisers. No independent
mind will hesitate moment III spurning this at
temptat personal and official dictation. 1t is the
first lime that any President has ever openly en-
tered the field as an ecctoncerer for his success
sor but il is also the first time that President
has ever dared to nominate has successor The
people have it now in their power to rebukc the
Dictator by defeating his Favorite. Let them act
otherwise and the fatal precedent will have been
set which i'll be recognized as law hereafter, by
which the choice of their Chief Magistrate will
have been wrested from their hands, and the Exc
cutive Department will be completely assimilated
TO an hereditary Monarchy editary, not in
the family Of the President but in the circle of his

profitable itmay promise to be, ON paper Let us
now abandon the Canal, and we shall have cllec-

that Virginia will ever accomplish the greai CEN

hopes. Even were we satisfied. that it is not the
