INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The Examiner has some opposite remarks
relative to the very striking effect produced
uponahe Legislature by that clause IN inc
constitution which requires that no Dill s"ai'
be passed for purposes OF Internal Improve
ment! withou, a provision for raising Tue
means to prosecute them. Ii has, Indeed,
proved a clog of most serious nature. Before,
there was no difficulty whatever IN the way
The largest appropriations were made with
out the smallest scruple; but now, our inde-
pendent legislators dare not 60 home and Tell
their constituents that they have raised the
taxes, though for a purpose of the last neces-
sity. 1t is a matter, with them, of small mo-
ment, that the whole system of Internal I'm
provements, in which the State is interested to
the amount of $40 1000, should be stopped
short. 1t is matter of very great public con-
eern, on the other hand, that Mr.. A. or Mr.. B.
should keep his place in the House or in the
Senate.
Do these gentlemen reflect upon the i'm
mense loss to which they are subjectng the
State, and the necessity they are creating OF
an enormously increased taxation at a future
day 10 pay off this loss ? The interest on the
debt for purposes OF this character, is already
enormous. 1t amounts, in round numbers, to
at least 81 100000 per annum. The recess
of three months, which they propose, will cost
the State su m of $325,00O, over and above
what il would cost should they make the
proper appropriations at once. Do they not
see that they will have to make up this dead
loss by taxation Alter all, the taxation for
raising the sum to complete the works, will
be fully as great if levied in the fall, as it
would be iflaid now. Is it possible that con.
stituents will not be able to understand SO
plain matter Every day that the public
works are delayed adds SO much to the public
burthens. Is it not the part Of wisdom, then,
TO make the necessary appropriations as soon
as possible What can be gained by delay I?
The people know, that, until the works begin
to pay, they must be taxed to carry them on.
What mole can they learn during the pro-
posed recess of three months
We believe that the Legislature is playing a
very foolish gene. They cannot abandon the
public works, for the public voice will not per-
init them to do go. They cannot conceal from
their constituents the fact that their temporary
abandonment imposes great additional bur
then. Is it not better, then, to take the re.
sponsibilty of an inevitable step at once, and
to depend upon its absolute necessity, as an
apology before the constituency

Ii is matter Of great pain to us that there should
be any controversy in this city about the election OF
the rst Jdga nn6er The New Constitution. and If
we could have foreseen il, we would nor have be-
| parties to it. We hoped that our Judge whoever
| he might he would have taken his seat upon the
bench unconscious OF any oil the eHcleInent Wnicn

| The article in the Wing also represents that Mr..

intent is to impress the public with the belief that
| Mr.. Stanards nomination was made AFTER Mr.
Meredith was announced, which was not the fact,
| as every one knows who has turned his attention
at all to the subject or read the history OF this
matter which we gave in former statement, and
which remains uncontradic;ed 1t is true that
the announce ment of Mr.. Meredith appeared first
in the newspapers, but that announcement was
made THE DAY AFTER Mr.. Stauard had been no
minated by the meeting at the Court House, and al
| ter that nomination WAS known to MI Meredith
and his friends. With what justice or fairness
