D65- In commencing the bill of Mr..
Nancy, last week, we thoughts we in
tcnded--that our commentator embraced
the amendment to the bill, providing that
State aid should be extended to all the
companies that have gone earnestly to work
under the Internal Improvement law
Without this proviso, the bill would work
great injustice to companies that have ex-
pended much money in the effort to make
such progress as would make clear their
claim to State aid But where no work
has been done, the case is different; and a
due regard to the credit of the State, de-
mands that its credit shall be no further
pressed than it is already, by the actual
and proximate compliance with the con-
ditions Of the Internal Improvement Bill.
The people of Tennessee have voted against
the distribution of the proceeds Of the
public lands, and having no hope Ct aid
from this source-an aid extended to new
free States,-Tennessee must be prudent
in the management Of its resources; and
We fear that much which ought to be done,
must be left undone

B6s- Why is it that we hear no locofoco
Boosting, at this time, of the unrivalled
prosperity of the country, under the
domination of that party? Are they be-
coming modest, or are they ashamed of a
policy that has induced the present state
of things2 1t will not do for them to try
to shirk the responsibility Of our troubles.
They have long ruled the federal and
State governments, and have been warned,
increasingly, of the consequences of their
misrule. But the only answer has BEEN
''look at the glorious prosperity Of the
country, and infer from it the wisdom Of
locofoco policy" Well, that policy has
not been changed, then whence the none
tary wreck of to-dayP We ask the people,
who arm the demagogue with power to
strike down their prosperity, to look at
this question, and, if they dare, to answer
it as honest freemen. We ask them to
look back upon all the periods of distress
that have come upon the country, since
the organization of the spoils-party, and
say whether they have not all been the
legitimate result of its misdeeds. That
policy must be wrong which leads to evil
and that party is curse, which adheres
to such a policy. Let the people look
the question in the face. They are the
source of power; if that power work mis-
chief, they are the guilty parties. If they
are too corrupt to do right, or too ignorant
to know the right, they had better resign
their power and fall back upon monarchy
which is preferable to anarchy. Aud that
they are too corrupt or too ignorant to
take care of themselves, is but too mani.
fest.
