 cratic party, in obtaining commanding ma Jorliies in both branches Of Congress, will enable Mir. Polk 10 carry out lhose great prin- cipies which have ever been held sacred by those who elevated him 10 office Those principles were embodied in the Baltimore Resolutions, and were distinctly announced 1 10 the world. They were sustained by tho 1 people, and thus far Mr. Polk has done all in his power to sustain them, and to administer the government upon those great republican princIples, which are the very antipodes of those advocated by the whig party. By ad- | herlng to strict construction of the Con stltutlon, we shall not have mammoth Bank created, controlling the credit. capital and commerce of the country, but on the con trarY, we look for an entire separation of Bank and State, and that the government will collect and dsburse it's revenues, without the aid of either National or Slate Banks as fiscal agent. In other words, we expect to see the Independent Treasury re-estab- lished, with such notifications as experience and utility may suggest, Tho Democratic 1 party call for this measure, and woe betide that democrat who should falter i'll his SUD- port of this, one of the great measures of the party. IL Is useless now, at this late pe-, , rlod, to undertake the discussion of the mer- it's of this measure over that of Bank, when the whole question has been discussed from one end of the Union 10 tho other, by every little stump orator and village newspaper, up to the great giants of the age. The people have decided in its favor, and 1t will be the duty of Mr. Polk to recommend it to Con- gross, and for that body to pass il, maugre | .E,l,.a 1, ., CT duty will deyolye upon the approaching Congress, and that is the adjustment of the Tariff, so as 10 make 1t more equal and less burdensome upon the labor and industry of the country. The laws, like the dews of heaven, should operate equally upon all clas- ses, the noble as well as the ignoble. It will no doubt be recommended to Congress by MT. Polk, unless he should prove recre- ant to his long cherished and oft expressed principles, to reduce the Tariff to the reve- nue standard Let reuenue be the main ob- ject of the Tariff, and not protection. Let there be no temporizing upon tliis vital sub Ject, but let the administration meet the ques. ton al onee Justice to people long op- pressed, by ruinous and oppressive rate of of duties, demands reduction ef the Tariff. But l will not pursue this subject any farther, as am digresslng, or rather, have not as yet reached the subject l designed discussing when took up my pen, to wit: Internal Improvements.
 The principle laid down by the great and lamented Jackson, in his celebrated veto on the maysyile road bill, admit are ineontro- verlble, and have ever since their promuIga- ton been cherished as one of the cardinal l DrIOcIpIpe ni p,,, q, ton Of those improvements 10 which wish to call the public attention, and more partic- ularIy the notice of Gov. Yell, Representa- tive from Arkansas, and the Hon. F. P Stan ton, Representative of the Memphis District, IS that of the completion of the Military Road from Memphis 10 Little Rock, the seat oi Government of Arkansas; and the com pleuon of this road will not cause the ad- minisiration 10 violate single principle ad- eancod in the veto message. The incorpo- ration of Texas into tlle Union, despite tho unpatnotlc opposition of the whig party, renders il imperative upon the government 10 open up great National thofoughfares, by which thatcountry may be protected, by the speedy transmission of the munitions of war. To effect this object, land or water carriage Is essential, and mere glance at the map of the Southwestern country is sufficient 10 satisfy even the most sceptlcal, that from Memphis, should the great national road through Arkansas inte Texas emanate The locality ol Memphis, Its growing commer- cial importance, and the Public works now 1 being constructed there, require the comple- ton Of this road, and will mperiously de- mand inc Jealous attention of the Hon. r. r. Stanton. The government have already expended some S300,000 on the road. a.d unless il is finished, which will require Iut comparatively small sum, all the amount l heretofore expended might as well have been thrown into the sea. The Convention that IS to meet at Memphis in November next, will no doubt do this subject more justice in the report which will there be made, than can do through communications the gentlemen who compose the committee, whose duty 1t will be to report upon this subject, understand their duties and possess sufficient ability to present the subject in such light as must command the assent of all. With that report furnished to them, embodying all the facts, Gov. Yell and Sir. Stanton will certainly be able to procure an I appropriation sufficient 10 complete this road; a desideratum of great importance to the whole State of Arkansas and Texas, and which will also add greatly to the interests of Memphis. From the indefatigable exer- tions of Gov. ' ell, to do every thing in his power to advance the prosperity of Arkan- sas, and fran the high character, sterling worth and integrity of r. P. Stanton, added to his intelligence and his popularity, we may expect to see this great National meas ure accomplished MEMPHIS
