more too, than he desires--the noforiefy ofa

IL, The debate upon the Veto was resumed thi.
morning Mr.. Petit, Of Ia, leading in II. He SAID
that no man In the land had done more than himself
10 secure the election Of Mr.. Polk He had labored
for him and had done all that man could do &c
ensure his success, that he amazed at the course
taken by the Executive In making general war upon
all sorts of improvements. Mr.. Petit argued as fully
as any Western Wing in favor Of the power Of Con
gfess over works Of Internal improvement, and the
duty Of Congress to make them.
Mr. Petit discussed the question at great length
OF the general powers OF the Government, and held
that Congress held the control over the internal
commerce of the country as over forts, arsenas, OF
the war making power, and 1t was as complete over
This subject any other under the control Of the Ge-
neral Government. The views of the Executive were
strange dangerous, and indefensibe, and Mr. Petit
spoke OF them with force and decision.
] cannot think, indeed, that Mr.. Petit is one Of
the Presidents friends West Of the Mountains ready
10 stand by the position assumed in his Message |
have heard ii denounced by Of them in the very
fllness Of authority and in very bitterness Of COM
plint. As upon the tariff upon internal improve
nents Mr.. Polk concealed all his true sentiment be-
fore the election, and is now repaying those who,
like Mr. Petit did all they could to secure his cleo
ton. They are deceived in their man. Baltimore
