erS. The Mount Vernon Democratic
Banner don't like il at all. 1t don't like
the Governors views upon the slavery
question. II don't believe that Congress
has the power to legislate upon the sub
isct al all, except to carry out the consIi
tutioual provision for the reclamation of
fugitive slaves. The right to hold slaves
and 10 catch them when fugitives, are
part Of the terms of the federal compact,
and any effort to abridge or destroy these
rights, is an attempt to violate that instru
ment. So thinks the Banner man, aud
although Gov. Wood has gone very far
it is not far enough.
Upon the subject of River and Harbor
improv emen nls, the Banner and Governor
Wood differ still more widely. The
Z Banner says; ....
.It has almost from time immemorial,
been part of the Democatic creed to
oppose a system of internal improvements
by the General Government. aud yet
Gov. Wood not only commends such a
system ofinternal improvements, but ac
