MIR. CALHOUN's REPORT.

This important document. which has been
sometime before the Senate, has not yet reached
lis through the polileness Of any of our friends in
Washington. We take the following notice of it
from the Richmond Times, which we have no
reason to doubt places his argument on its proper
foundation but we should like to see the docu
menl for ourselves. We want To Law il before onr
readers, that they may Judge Of its mighty aulhor
by his own facts and argument--it was a singular
and startling position Mr.. Calhoun took but one
from what we know, we believe to he perfectly
leoable under the Constitution, and consisten,
with his previous policy and views Of that insiru-
ment:
"The synopsis which we have already piven
of the report is substantially accurate MIR
Calhoun sets out by demonstrating the immense
value of the trade on the Mssissppi and i,s
tributaries, and the great losses hich are causod
by the distinctions to the navigation. He shows
that the States have no power to remove these
distractions, and then asks, here the power IN do
il resides He thinks the federal government
cannot exert it under The authority of Congress
ito Law and collect taxes, &C., to pay the debts and
provide Tor the common defence and general vel
fare Of the United States" adopting The same
construction Of this clause which all States riobt
men adopt. that the words common defence and
general welfare confer no new power. He next
attirms that the power to regulate commerce
with foreign nations and among the several
States" does include tho power to improve the
navigation Of tho Western waters. This he or.

always claimed by England, all that country living
between the Columbia river and the latitude of

WORK IN OUR NAVY YARD. Sc

1t is with feeling of high satisfaction that we
confidently predict that what we have so much
desired, will be the fact in this Yard-constant
and steady employment will be given to the reg
uar resident mechanics, without the press Of
work which will call Tor temporary hands from
abroad.
We have il from the best authority. that the Sec
rotary intends TO thoroughly repair the Cnns,el-
lation, and we have no doubt that Mr. Hartt
will bring down the orders with him to morrow.
When we pennej our article of Thursday
week, we Eel, satisfied that it was not the inten
ton Of the Secretary to suffer this Yard to remain
idle; and the fact stated above will convince all
who labored under such an impression of its in.
Justice so far as he was concerned 1t is TO be
hoped that appropriation will be made, and we
trust Com. Smith will press it upon Congress, to
put this Yard in proper state of repair. at least
equal 10 the Yards north of us--for we can assure
the authorities at Washington. that although the
report frequently goes up that there is 60 nothing
to do" thousands of dollars worth of timber and
iron materials is daily wasting by action Of sun
and rain, for want Of proper housing. The Yard
itself is in most miserable condition, aud wants
grading. We have no hesitation in rskino our
veraci,y on the assertion that hundred thousand
dollars could be expended at his Yard, which
would be an ACTUAL SAVING TO THE GOVERN
MENr. These Things will nc doubt be repre-
scented to the Secretary from seine quarter emit
tied to consideration, and we therefore drop the
subject
We are not easily cast dawn, and therefore
hid our friends to look up with confidence for bet
ter times. The sale Of the Rail Road will intro
duce new capital and energy among US. the vein
Of trade which is now closed by the stoppage of
that channel of commerce with North Carolina,
south, will be re-opened, and steady and in
creasing prosperity will come upon us. Let all
our citizens then be ready 10 take part in and
profit by " the better times coming" Let them
no longer despond, and 90 croaking about our
streets. that we are rrelrevably ruined II is
not true-we only want TO rouse their dormant
en- rgies, and Portsmouth and Norfolk will short

The Empire State is taking the lead in the

Convention sitting at Albany, in the State of
New York. for the amendment of the Constitu
ton of that State, Mr.. Cambreleng, formerly
chairman of the Committee on Commerce. and
late Minister to Russia, has presented resolutions
requiring the Banks TO deposite 5 per cent. State
stocks. for the amount of bills put in circulation :;
also making the individual stockholders personal.
ly liable for all The responsibilities of the bank.
Tho power to grant special bank charters are
taken away from the Legislature, and after 1855
all perpetual bank charters are to be annuled.
This is as it should he. as the granting Of
bank charter, is. in the true sense of the word
gilt of power to corporation to exchange
