III FieN VI tIle HdtlO1al importance OF this
"by authority" article, we quote from
it, as follows:
4 1t is universally admitted that the federal
government derives all its powers from the
Constitution, and few deny the cardinal prin-
ciples that all grants of power contained in it
should be strictly construed, and that doubt
ful constitutional power should never be e1er.
cised Does the Constitution clearly confer
this power? No one pretends that it is con-
ferred IN express terms. 1t is claimed to ex-
lst as necessary incident to the power ever
commerce. To exist as an incident, it must
be absolutely necessary to the execution of
power expressly granted 1t cannot exist
where the object can be accomplished, in a
reasonable and practicable manner, by an
other authorized agency. These improve
ments are clearly within the constitutional
competency of tho States, under their conceded
general powers, and also under their reserved
right to levy tonnage duty with the assent of
Congress. The refusal by Congress to give
its assent to such duties cannot confer consti-
tutional power to do what ~euld otherwise be
unlawful. Such power cannot rest upon so
uncertain and unworthy basis rs the wrong
full act of an agent. Hence, this power does
not exist rs an incident to the Pa~er over COM
me, ms5c !, and absolutely necessary to its s1eca.
IOI internal improvements
would increase the public burdens, by increase
ing our taxes or the national debt TO the ex-
tentof the money expended on interest The
records OF the Treasury show that since Mr..
Monroe's administration this class Of improve
ments, including surveys. has cost an immense
sum. Past large expenditures have not di-
unfinished the number of applications, nor the
zeal and perseverance with which they are
pressed. The cost of all such works usually
vastly exceeds the estimates, and the promises
OF small expenditures generally end in dissa.
pointment. The expense of work once CON-
menced seems never to end. Usually they re.
main perpetual charge to the Treasury A
Dill embracing many of this class Of works,
which received President Folks veto, appro.
Priated the sum of 81 ,37S $50, which, if it had
become law, would have added that amount
70 the public debt in time of national war.
II Is not unworthy OF consideration that pub
TIC confidence is shaken in relation to the
nouVes which sometimes prompt apple ations
Ior expenditures Of this kind, The conye-
niency OF commerce is always the assigned.
while local Interests and private speculations
are often supposed to be real, motives. The
appearance of petitions in Congress for i'm. |
provements, followed by plats of cities and
villages with lots for sale, is well calculated 70

ing that, long since, our Commissioner at the
Sandwich Islands was directed to keep his at
tention fixed closely to their political condition,
and respectfully to receive and forward home
for the consideration of this Government, any
advances or propositions, which that govern
ment might make by way of giving the United
States rights there likely to prove almost in
valuable to American commerce.
BosH.--All stories in the correspondence of

dent has called in any others than his Cabinet

theory nowis, that its fresh crop offalsehoods

During the night after his return, the
dead OK came back to his yard alive

butchers enclosure, and tho next day
the farmer drove the same OK back to

he it was who had been sold, bought
tho OK at il Jumping price, and paid
