Let Congress take up and pass that bill Of

Internal Imhrovsmsn.s by tho General
Govefnment.-The action Of the House yes.
terday in Committee Of The Whole, renders it
Almost morally certain that before the termi.
nation Of the eession, an internal improvement
bill will be sent to the President for his sigra-
ture or veto. There is an evident disposition on
the part Of many Of the friends Of that system
to eonfne the bill which is to be passed to the
Recommendations Of the Commerce Committee,
which embrace only those works that having
been previously under construction, have been
estimated for according to custom in the an
nual estimates transmitted to the House among
the accompanying documents." This dispo-
s;tion arises from the hope that as they were
estimated for, tho President will sanction a
bill which embraces those works only. As q
matter Of course there is no knowing In sd-
vance what the Chief Magistrate will do, even
with such a bill. The general impression
among his strict construction friends, however,
is that he will weigh it in the scales Of the
ow-celebrated veto message Of President
Polk, which has come to be the paramount au-
thority with the GLASS Of gentlemen now In
public life TO which We refer above.
We may add tina. no one seems to anticipate
that he will sign an internal improvement
bill such As has heretofore been yassed, en-
bracing the leg. rolled schemes for tho benefit
Of each locality from which q vote may be OBJ
tanned, on condition of its insertion in the bill
in question. ..
