The Presidents Veto Messages.
The following are the Veto Messages
from the President, received by the Z.
S. Senate, on Monday last.
WASHINGTON May 10, 1856.


To tile Senate Of tue United States.
l returned herewith to the Senate, in
which it originated, the bill entitled
"An act to remove distinctions to navi-
cation in the mouth of the Mississippi.
river, at the Southwest Pass and Pass
a I'Outre," which proposes to appropri-
ate a sum of money, to be expended un-
der the superintendent of tie Secreta
ry of War; for the opening and keeping
open ships channels of sufficient dapacity
to accommodate the wants of
through the Southwest Pass and Pass
a I'Outre, leading from the Mississippi
river to the Gulf of Mexico.
In a communication addressed by me
to the two Houses of Congress on the
30th December, 1854, my views were
exhibited in full on the subject of the
relation of the General Government to
internal improvements. [ set. forth on
that occasion the constitutional impedi-
ments, which in my mind are insuperable
to the prosecution of a system of inter
nal improvements by means of appropri-
atious from the Treasury of the United
States !; more especially the considera-
ton that the Constitution does not con-
fer on the General Government any ex-
press power to make such appropria-
tions that they are not a necessary
and proper incident of any of the express
powers and that the assumption of au-
thority on the part of the Federal Gov
ernment to commence and carry on q
general system of internal improvemel ats,
while exceptionable for the want of
constitutional power, is in other
respects prejudicial to the several
interests, and Inconsistent with the true
relation to on another of the Union and
of the individual States.
These objections apply to the whole
system of internal improvements, wheth-
,er such improvements consists of works
on land or in navigable waters, either of
the sea coast or of the interior lakes or
rivers.
1 have not been able, after the most
careful reflection, to regard the bill be-
fore me in any other light, than as a
part of a general system of internal i'm
proyements, and therefore feel constrain-
ed to submit it, with those objections, to
the reconsideration of Congress.

Fever and Ague-An Infalible Cure.

We defy the worldt to produce any medicine which
does not contain Quinine, Bark Arsefc, Mercury
or any noXious or deadly compound, to cure this
enjoying disease so efectua1ly as Carriers Spanish
Mixture. While It containes none of the above
named dangerous articles, yet it possesses a power
in relieving and curing Fever and Ague which
cannot be approached by any of them separately or
in combination. 1t acts specifically on the Liver,
Purifes the Flood, opens the pores of the Skin, and
assists nature to eXpel from the system the seeds
of Diseases, or what is as bad, the remains of the
Mineral Drugs, which clog and finally destroy the
constitution.
See the cure of,Mr.L ongden of Virginia: He had
Chills twice a day for 3 years, nothing would re-
lieve himuntil he tried Carter's Spanish Mixture,
only 3bottles of which effectHally restored him to
health. nor has he had a return OF the disease since.
