Veto of the River and uarnor Ru,-

Nothing, we think, shows the vascilIating
character of the present Executive more than the
indecisive tone Of the document which heads
this article. 1t contains no open affirmation of
an memorable principle, but admits the impor-
lance of internal improvements and intimates
that there are works of national character
within the scope of the constitutional power of
Government which should receive its sanction.
The message intimates that no time has been
left the Executive to examine the bill and
make the proper discrimination between those
which should not. We suppose, therefore, such
works of Importance as are constitutional, &C.
cording to any construction, must suffer the
usual consequence ofbeing caught in bad COM
pany. But we cannot see why the President
could not have returned the bill with his OBJ
jections to those deemed by him illegal or what
would have been the same thing, why he could
not have indicated the very few which were, in
his opinion, constitutional; and returned the
bill. The country is cousoled, however, with
the assurance that the President will, before
the next meeting of congress, mature plan of
improvements free from the objections which
exist against the bill just vetoed Baltimore
Patriot.

The Tomb of DIR. Gardiner.

A Washington letter writer says that within
the enlargement ofthe Congressional Cemetery
repose the remains of George A. Gardiner, a
name familiar to the world, the inscription i'm
pressed we suppose by fraternal affection is SIM
ply "our brother" The honor conferred, by as.
signing to the remains of Dr. Gardiner place
in a National Cemetery,is perhaps explained
by the epitaph. For, from the popular estimate
of Congressional honesty, and the nc merous
committees raised to investigate charges against
its members, the acknowledgement of those to
whom the Congressional Cemetery is dedicated
that this unfortunate felon was sour brother, y
has a melancholy and satlrical significance.

Mr.. EDIToR:-

N R. EDIToR:-
desire to say few words
to the Capitalist of your Stale through the
medium of your paper,upon the subject of man
ufacturing. | am induced to dothis from no.
tice which appeared. in your paper, offering
great inducement to such as may feel disposed
to embark in that business in your town.
There is certainly no business which tends
more to the prosperity and wealth of commu-
nifty, as well as to the individuals engaged than
that of manufacturing upon judicious and we'll
established principles. This is apparent in all
communities where well organic ed establish
ment now exists, its beneficial Influences are
extended-either directly or indirectly to all
classes. the Merchant, the Farmer, the Mechan-
c and Laborer all feel it's influences, and are
more or less benefited by its existance, while
its individus share holders are dividing a per-
centage not to be obtained through any other
branch of business. True. there are te,c es-
Establishments that do not pay very handsomely,
but the Sc are such as hold to the old fashioned
macninery-that his long since been suspe nded
and totally disregarded improvements. 1t
can hardly be expected that those who continue
to operate the old fashioned fly frame II speak
of cotton spinning) and proceeding at the most
from 81 to skeins per spindle, per day at n
expence of At to cents per ponnd, should com
pete successfully with an establishment of more
modern construction producing at least or
10 skeins per spindle per day, at a cost of less
than cents per pound for domestic yarns num-
bering from 6 to II.
An investment of ten thousand dollars would
cover the cost of all necessary machinery for a
cotton mill of (IOOO) one thousand spiadles of
the latest improved and most modern construc-
ton, which would produce from five to six thou
sand pounds per week of yarns of the Nos.
named, and at a cost Of less than two cents per
pound for manufacturing, such yarns are now
selling in market at II cents per pound, BY ad-
ding to the price of cotton 10 per cent for wash
and cents for manufacturing, Il is easy to see
the profits derived.
1t will be perceived that have placed the
cost (SlOOOO) of machinery sufficiently high,
to cover all necessary machinery. shafting &C.,
but do not Include the building and motive
power &c, which will vary according to loca
ton and building material, l would also oh
serve that costs of both machines and opera
tives, would be less in proportion ina large con-
Germ than in so small one.
Should any, desiring to embark in the above
business, think these conclusions extravagant,
they may be fully convinced by addressing the
subscriber at Augusta Ca, by whom any in
formation will be cheerfully given.

Mr.. rEDIToR:-Is there not clause in the
Constitution of the United States to the effect
that CONGRESS alone shall have power ITO de-
clare 1car'! IfsO, | would ask by what author
ity did Messrs. Marcy and Dobbin order Cap
tain Hollins to commence war against San Ju-
an?
We will answer the queries of "a Subscri-
ber' by saying, that there is a clause in the
Constitution vesting in Congress the exclusive
power to declare war,-but that the present
Administration seem to construe the clause to
mean that the warmaking power of Congress
applies only to the larger StateS;-and that in
regard to lille ones, like San Juan, a Secretary
ofState or of the Navy may declare war against
them whenever he pleases. Thus, our Minister
at Madrid said he was insulted by Spanish no.
blemen, and American property was illegally
seized upon at Havana, yet Spain being large
power, the Administration never thought for a
moment of burning any of her towns without
first consulting Congress but when an Ameri-
can Minister is insulted, or American property
seized by the citizens of small State, like
San Juan, the Secretary of the Navy has no
doubt whatever of his right to declare war up
on her without any previous authority from Con-
gress. In giving their orders to Capt. Hollins,
Messrs. Marcy and Dobbin were acting accor-
ding to the Constitution as they understood i'll

Gentleness.

If thou hast crushed flower,
The root may not be blighted---
Ifthou hast quenched a lamp,
Once more it may be lighted;
But on the harp or on the lutte,
The string WHICH thou hast broken,
Shall never in sweet sound again,
Give to thy touch token!
Ifthou hast loosed bird,
Whose voice of song could cheer thee,
Still, still he may be won
From the skies to MARBLE near thee;
But if upon the troubled sea
TLou hast thrown gem UNDECIDED,
Hope not that wind or wave shall bring
The treasure back when needed.
If thou hast bruised vine,
The summers breath is healing,
And its cluster yet may grow,
Thro the leaves their bloom revealing;
But if thou hast cup o'erthrown.
With bright drop filled-O, never
Shall the earth give ack thatlavish wealth
To cool thy parcbed lips fever.
The heart is like that cup,
Ifthou waste the love it bore thee,
And like that jewel gone,
Which the deep will not restore thee
And like that string of harp and lutte
Whence the sweet sound is scattered
Gently, o gently touch the chords
So soon forever shattered!

of chemistry, and the students were astonished
TO hear him introduce an illustration thus =

lightning, silver is better than platinum, so is
