fence of internal improvement in the same
d,cnineat prevents Us from giving it TO our
readers, 1, Is s"und Wing dortfine.
The power and influence of the Exec
niiv- Department Of the Federal Govern
ment are greatly Increased, and the history
Of tina, government, for the last few year,
exhibits constant struggle on the part of
the Executive 10 control the opinions of the
people. His appeals from their decisions
have been tried by popular elections Tor
the first, second, and third time. In such
trials the reprrs. ntative has TO contend
s,nsy and unaided against .he combined
influence ard patronage nj TIE government.
:,ut content with the already over>had, W
ing powers ,f the National Government,
the President has atraigned before Con-
gress the Institutions. OF the Siate and the
States themselves, and has discussed their
domestic Concerns with as great freedom
rs il they were responsible To the Federal
Government, and we're not sovereign in the
conduct of their municipal affairs. These
Innovations furnish n new Demonstration Of
the error of those who, a, the adoption of
The Constitution. supposed the Federal Gov
