The Louisvilis Oemocrat lately made an
attack upon the River ard Harbor BILL in an
endeavor to screen those Western Democrat
&c Representatives who voted against the
BILL Ii assumed the ground that many Of
the appropriations OF the bill were flagranily
unconstitutional. The Courier dared the
Democrat to point out single appropriation
which was unconstitutional, and pledged it,
self to show that il such were pointed out,
the Courier would prove by the highesiDem-
ocsadc authority. the very object thus desig.
stated, had been declared TO be constitutional
The Democrat accepted the challenge, and
from the entire list OF appropriations sele tied
two, and asked the Courier TO show any
grant OF power in the federal constitution
which jusiiies the appropriation OF $4,000
to improve the navigation Of the Hudson nv.
er, or the 1000 to improve the ST. Louis
wharf, called, by way Of flourish, har.
bor.n
The Democrat asks too that such viii.

The Courier proves most conclusively that
not only arc such appropriations as these

appropriations for the very objects selected
BY the Demecrat, have been approved BY the
model Democratic Administrations of Gen.

proved Of bill which passed Democratic
