CUMBERLAND ROAD.

The discussions upon this great Western
measure, during the present session of Con-
gress, have disclosed this extraordinary fact !:
That, while the party in power here, deny the
constitutional power Of Congress TO appro-
pirate money from the National Treasury for
the construction of this road, and openly de-
nounce those who claim such a power as fe-
deralsts, the friends and associates Of the
same party in the West, where the road is
popular, profess lin the face Of the above fact,
and with the actual and doubtless intentional
omission of it from the official estimates Of
necessary expenditures for the public SER
vice) that the party in power are the real
friends and patrons Of the road, and endeayor
to humbug the people there by pretending that
the omission was fnesse designed to favor
the road in the end, and at the same time 10
answer the present purpose of enabling the
new recruits from the South to excuse the
astonishing change which has come over
them
This is of piece with the generally ia
nusfacod policy Of the Administration, which
holds up deceptive appearance to every Sec
ton of the country. BE the object in this
case, what it may the real friends Of this
great work, should they ever succeed in OBJ
tanning an appropriation, will feel but little
gratitude to the President for emitting to men
ton it even as work worthy Of the atten-
ton of Congress, especially, too, when it is
recollected that extraordinary appropriations
of various kinds, are called for, which, COM
pared with this road, are insignificant.
The West, like other sections of the coun-
try, must consent to be victimized by the Ad-
ministration. To vote an appropriation TO the
amount requisite, against the wishes and re-
commentators Of the Executive, and beyond
the means of the Treasury as exhibited in
its estimates in regard TO the subject, would
be rash ground for the opposition to assume,
and would be arming the new allies of the
Administration in the South, where the road
and all appropriations for such purposes, Tex
cept when located in that section) are ex-
ceedingly unpopular, with, perhaps, fatal
argument against the party, by whose votes
such an appropriation should be carried. Be-
sides, it would enable Mr.. Calhoun and his
friends to excuse themselves to their consti-
tuents for taking that novel and lofty position,
ito let the Administration elect its own Off
GERS, including the printers to the House,
But the people Of the great West must look to
the subject for themselves, and prepare TO
give political duplicity its just reward at the
ballot boxes.

The Ides of .M.reh.-By the 4th instant,
either loco focoism will be Frustrated in
Pennsylvania. or Gov Porter will be pros
trated in the effort. Radicaism and folly
have run nearly the length of their tether;
they are now, if possible, TO be arrested.
What we most regret, and are surprised at
is, that men entertaining the views Toe do, and
such as Gov. Porter and his friends do, can
permit themselves to be classcd as the sup
porters Of a federal administration, whose
measures they know to be destructive TO the

Official Gazette, Bogota.
So that il was impossible that il could have
been known in The United States on the 10Th
day of March, 1929, when Gen. Harrison
was superseded by Thomas P. Moore, of Ky,
that he had arrived at Columbia, much less
that any difficulty had occurred there. Mr..
Moore was appointed on the 18th Of March,
only twelve days after Gen. Harrison pre-
scented his credentials at Bogota, and no diff
Guilty had then taken place. So that he was
not recalled upon any charge whatever; nor
does it appear that any charges existed against
him there, till after it was known TO that Co

unjust, if not ridiculous. They .follo,ced close

was even known that he had reached the
place of his official destination.

Mr. BELL addressed the House, yesterday,
at considerable length, and with uncommon
ability, on the Cumberland Road Resolution
He laid bare the systematic course of i'm
posture which has been pursued by tho
Federal Administration, in reference TO
internal improvements, and especially as
regards this Cumberland Road The array
Of facts which he presented, all proved by
docuVentary evidence, and notorious to
those who have watched the proceedings
Of the party in power, will convince the peo-
pie Of the South and the West, Of the double
dealing and jugglery which have been all
along practsed, and are now attempted 10 be
put upon them. Mr.. BELL, also, reviewed
the policy of the Administration on several
other points, with great power and effect.

be extensively circulated.

PROPOSAL TO ADJOURN THE PRESENT CONGRESS!
Mr.. LusIPKlN, OF Georgia, offered resolution
that tho President of the Senate, and the Speaker Of
the House Of Representatives, djourn their respcc-

He said he had no disposition 10 prevent the CON-
pletion of any business before Congress; nor did he
suppose that this motion would have any tendency
but TO accelerate The despatch of every thing OF inn
portance. He saw no necessity for proiracting the
session beyond the period he had designated. He
would say to Senators and Representatives ''gen-
,emcn, You have been long enough feeding out Of
the public corn-crib. II is time you should go home
and feed out of your own corn-crib." Look out,

did not present this matter idly: but he intended to
pcrsevere in it, and call il up for consideration at an
early day
Mr.. WEBSTER said he concurred most heartily in
the general object Of The resolution. He regarded
the long continuance of the long sessions as one Of
the most unfortunate omenS in the present state OF
affairs. Naihng, in his opinion called more loudly
for the attention and cxertions OF every enlightened
and patriotic statesman, than the great evils which
flow from the proracton Of the long sessions. He
assured the Senator from Georgia, he would go with
him cordially and earnestly in endcavofing TO ac
complsh the object he had aimed at
Mr. LuMrKlN expressed histhanksto Mr.. Webster,

concurrence of the Senate.
