The Whig Doctrine OF Internal Improvement
by the General Government

The following is the resolution Offered on this subject
BY the southern wing delegates in caucus
&c The constitution in Congress the power to open
and pair harbors and distinctions from nayya-
bic rivers, chsnsU iHh improvements Hscsssarg or The
dsfsncs, and FOR the protection and acY.of com
merce with f1regn nations among the States said
provementE being in every instance national and general
In their character"
twill BE- observed that this resolution sfirms that
Congress- under the constitution ba' poico 10 make the
specified improvements in harbors and naygable rivers
only when such Improvements besides being in every
instance national and general in their character are
also necessary for the defence, and for The pro-
lection and facility Of foreign or domestic commerce
II is Authoritarian and loose enough best-lhis doc
lrine-but in this shape il s By no loose enough
satisfy the Wing Convention. The declaration does,
al least pretend 10 pnt some CT eek npon the power Of
Congress 10 squander the public money in be name Of
internal improvement No such liailation shifted the
whig idea Of The matter and therefore the Wing Con
venton, before adopting The resolution put 10 The fol.
lowing very different shape:
60 The constitution vess in Congress the power to open
and repair harbos and It IL expedent that Congress
should exercise Its power remove distractions from
gable rivers chsnspr aci improvements nsosafg for
dssHcs and Tor the protection and facility Of
with foreign nations among the States aid
raj in their character"
Here is the monsrous doctrine, in many words that
wherever CoDgrers find any water il has full
stitutona power to spend the public money in digging
out harbor, and then spend money in keeping u
dug out, whether ship boat be in il or not
The constitutional power Of Congress to exhaust the
public chest IN harbor digging is Unlimited and uniyer
