The Wig presses,,s as usual, make mnah noise
about the defeat Of this bill in The Senate at Che
last session. The dangers Of navigation, She
loss Of life on the Western waters, and all such
Cannon are brought to play an important part in
their complaints. The Democratic members Of
the Senate are charged, Of course, with the loss
of the bill, and are to be made responsible for all
the missries which their imagination can depict.
The public mind, it is thought, has become
greatly relaxed Of late upon this subject, and by
a little training can easily be persuaded into e
most reckless system Of Internal Improvements.
This bill proposed to appropriate nearly two
and a half millions of dollars, for the improve
ment Of the Atlantic seabord, the Western hikes
land rivers. This too, is to be done at q time
when the Government is nearly one hundred
millions of dollars in debt, and al a time when its
current expenditures are double What they were
Ia few years since. This bill, too, was taken up
in the Senate only two days before the. close Of
the session, and attempted to be hurried through
without amendment, and almost without Discus
sion. The Civil and Diplomatic, and Army and
Navy appropriation bill. were at the same time
before that body Enacted on, and action was nee.
essarily required before the session closed. But
because some of the Democratic members were
unwilling to swallow it as it came from the
House, and that toojn preference of other mea-
sures Of more importance, they are belaborea and
abused in the most immoderste terms, az the op-
l~ponents Of Internal Improvements.
1t is a remarkable "a let that, although the Wing
party processes to be the only champion Of such
important improvements, that all the appropris-
Itions Of any note have been made during the sd-
ADMINISTRATION of the Democratic party. The larg-
est sums ever appropriated in any one year was
lin the year 1887, snd1hs next largest in 1888,
during the administration of Van Buren,. being
upwards Of one million dollars each wear.
During the eight years Of General Jackson's
administration, there was an annual average ap-
preparation Of shout $65O,0oO; whilst in 1871,
there was but $6o,s6 o appropriately 1912.
I$7l ,572. and in ls43, none. Those years were
under the Wing administration of"Tip ank Tye."
Consequently, when facts are brought to bear, it
will appear that the Wing party are louder in
their professions and more reckless 10 their gam
mon about Internal Improvements, whilst the
Democracy are the rea! friends Of p~raetica, i'm
|frovenent. They eschew that wild system,
which would plunge the Government hopeless
less in dsbs. without any regard to the interests
Of the people.

The Jackson REsoLurIoas-Ths Jeffef.

that the Jackson resolutions were virtually

concludes the Inquirer, tive feel justified
in Stating that the Legislature virtually re

any such can exist in this Circuit. The
