Internal improvement
THE great constitutional question as to
| the power of the Government IN relation to
Internal Improvements has been settled
THE connection Of the Eastern and
Western Waters by the way Of the Poto-
mac and the Monongahela, has been pro-
nounced on examination 10 be practicable.
at an expense not exceeding 81 millions Of
dollars. The celebrity of this connection
as a ligament to bind the Union, to Increase
commerce and trade, promote social inter
course, needs at present no comment-lt
will be all important TO this district, indeed
the making Of it is easily comprehended.
it is due to myself to say, that have IN
tercsted and acquainted myself with this
subject, have had free and full converse
lions with the principal men of the Gov
ernment, and have agreed TO accompany
the engineers next Summer, IN exploring
the Cheat Route. which | am friendly to,
and shall use all proper means consistent
with national good to have the location
made of that Route.
IL have by conversation and explana-
ton gotten things in such a train that as
soon as the people residing in the South
part ofthe district will agree on a route,
there is a fine prospect Of obtaining the
patronage of the Government, in the con-
struction Of a great road through this quar-
ter to the Ohio"

MORE PROOF.
1t has been stoutly denied by his party
that +. johnson Of Harrison ever supper
ted the Administration ofJohn Q. Adams.
In addition to the proof derived from the
Dutch Almanac,"we beg leave to adj
ducc the following from the "Clarksburg
Enquirer" Of date November 90, 1877
The paper which lies before us, contains
the proceedings of an "anti-Jackson meet
ing" held in Clarksburg on the Monday
preceding its date, in which "OlI joe"
figured conspicuously. The Editor Of the
paper, in a brief editorial prefacing the
proceedings, states that it was a meeting of
the friends of John g. Adams administra-
ton. A preamble and resolutions were
which was offered by John j. Allen, and
seconded by Joseph Johnson. The Discus
sion however turned" (savs the Editor)
"upon the views taken of the qualifications
Of General Jackson in the report and sub
s%titutc." We should like to publish copi-
Gus extracts from the Report adopted by
the meeting. in which strong ground is ia
ken in favor of a Protective Tariff, &C.,
odd Joe's only difficulty in regard to this
report was in reference to the qualifications
Of Jackson, and notwithstanding this he
could "not hesitate to choose" John @.
Adams in preference TO him. We have
room only for the following extract.
This meeting are disposed to pas, Ly
the charges Of corruption and intrigue that
have been imputed TO Mr.. Adams and the
Secretary Of State by the opposition; with
the declaration that the confidence of this
meeting. in the purity and integrity Of
these iilustiious statesmen has not been d.
minishc1, and that in their opinion the va
rious charges that have been made were
promptly and satisfactorily refutcd.
