In connection with the senti ments of Gen!. Harrison, avowed in 1819, you will bring to your recollection the occa sional discussions, during Gcnl. Jackson's administration, touching the speedy payment of our debt, and the resistance which his fa vorite policy encountered from the Opposi tion. 1 he original opponents ol his adminis tration constitute the main body of the opposi tion of 31r. Van Buren, and the principal and largest ingredient of the party sustaining Gen. H. Think you, sir, if such a party had continued in power, with such latitudinous opinions of the powers of the Federal Gov ernment, and w ith the avowals, that it was un wise and impolitic to rid ourselves ot debt and accruing interest more rapidly than the positive obligations of public faith to creditors demanded, that w e should not yet feel a laroe remnant of debt pressing against the resources of the country, and presenting ob stacles to the reduction of cur burdens to the smallest amount adequate to a wise and fru- al administration. Under their political cuidance, is it probable that we should have enjoyed the unbounded gratincation oi oe- holdinor the unexampled spectacle of a great and powerful nation entirely free from dent Would their principles and their policy have yet afforded the occasion for that most interesting Republican Juniiee held oy tne faithful Representatives of a free and mighty People in commemoration of their pecuniary disenthralnient? Pardon us, Sir, for briefly adverting to the extraordinary doctrines contained in den. Harrison's Resolutions iu the lorm in wnicn thev received the final assent of both bran ches of the General Assembly of Ohio. The embarrassments of that period (IS 19) are as- erted to be caused, in a great degree "by want of encouragement and protection to do mestic manufactures." It may have been so notwithstanding our want of ability to compre hend it. How exemption from taxation how diminished burdens upon the productions and industry of a country can produce in creased embarrassment, we cannot perceive; and we have no recollection of having seen such a doctrine maintained and illustrated in any standard work upon political economy, How an imposition ot burdens on the peo ple, in order to acquire means of affording encouragement and protection to n jeio favor ed classes of industry, can relieve the general pecuniary embarrassment of a country, is, we candidly confess, beyond our comprenensiou But such is the panacea proposed in the Re solution. Such is the medicine, which Doc tor Harrison, as he has been styled in debate, Celebration at Browne's Hotel of the final pay ment of the National Debt. ease calH Ster heaI' lhat national ras?n4m PeT,ary diess and embar- ionH r BuVhe PrPses, as required by l l?y' UC- modifications of 'the tariff as will ston that m,.n(;,. r c. - ,. . .

Lf, ,.ul flimsy pretext, of providing forthe common defence, or promoting the general welfare, but tor the partial and insolated purpose of sustaining, protecting and encouraging that portion ot capital and labor employed in do mestic manufactures. The resolution too would seem to embrace the claim of a right to pass judgment upon the amount of impor tation which may be prudently made, and to interpose to prevent extravagance and excess. The principles which would authorize the Federal Government, under the semblance of parental guardianship, to restrain the impru dent and excessive importations of foreign merchandise, would equally justify its im pertinent scrutiny and interference in all the relations of life. Under its sanction, laws might be enacted to restrain the citizens from steful extravagance, from imprudent ex penditures, and from speculation and over- rading even sumptuary regulations might find protection under its broad mantle that, thereby pecuniary embarrassment, and the derangement of the business of the country might be prevented. To matter in what lofty expressions of patriotism no matter in what honeyed phrase of maternal kindness such a principle may lurk, it must essentially, m its practical operation, assimilate to eastern des potism. Its ultimate tendency is the subjec- lon of the wealth, the capital, the industry. the labor, the euterprizc of the .whole country to the rapacious and witherins erasp cf ar bitrary power. lhe second resolution as re-constructed m he committee of Conference, and received and agreed to by both houses, affirms dis tinctly the power of Congress, at discretion, to appropriate money or lands for the i;n- 6rYoaTsbarcahals,-n ment of American manufactures. And it holds the doctrine, that in a state of pecunia ry embarrassment among the people, the ap propriation of money or lands to such pur poses would have a great tendency to remove that embarrassment, and promote the general welfare of the nation. AN e will not here re new the criticism upon this extraordinary mode of relief. Did not Alexander Hamil ton, in one of his reports, claim the broad pow er of raising revenue to any amount, and the right of Congress to appropriate it to tne cause of literature, agriculture, internal im provement, manufactures, &c. bust the doctrine of the unlimited power of Congress to raise revenue, and of unlimited discretion, as to objects and amount, in its appropria- ... t it ion, was zealously maintained by the oia ederal party, it was warmly and indignantly repudiated by the Republican party. In fact, the extents and limits of the power to raise and appropriate revenue, constituted, in a great degree, the questions ol dinermg con structions between the parties. The power to raise and appropriate revenue, with no oth er limit but the discretion of Congress is de- ived from that liberal and latitudinous con struction of the Constitution which character- zed the political creed of Hamilton and inar- shall, and the mass ofthir disciples. lne contrary doctrine was espoused by Jefferson, Madison, John Taylor, and tPeir uiseipies. The Republicans did not admit that Congress might make any appropriation oj money which it might think proper; and they main tained and demonstrated lhat the Federal doc trine tended to suinititute the discretion of Congress for the limitations of tho Constitu tion, and thereby gradually to convert the government into one ot unlimited powers. Gen. Harrison holds, according to his resolu tion, that any appropriation of money may be made, which Congress may tmnic proper to make, for the improvement of the country by the construction of roads and canals, and for the encouragement of American manufac tures. And it will hardly be questioned, that the rule oi construction which authorizes un limited appropriations of money to objects of internal improvement, and lor the protection and encouragement of manufactures, win by naritv of reason and argument, also authorize i j . . . - . i appropriations ot money tor the protection oi agriculture, and .tor the promotion oi an olum objects which Uongress may select in uu, for anv thing which may be deemed by Con- in its unlimited discretion, conoui-ive to "the general walfare of the nation." . . . .i i ir. 1 V, But the resolution includes tne puoi.c iiuu also in this sweeping claim to discretionary appropriations. Can it be intended, by an appropriation of lands for the encouragement of manufactures, to introduce the system of bestowing land bounties upon manufacturing companies Is a part of the public domain, instead of being sold at a moceraie price w actual settlers, to be given gratuitously to rich rnmoanies of manufactures? Is the already powerful influences of these associations of wealth, upon tne popuiaiion ui meir itiume, and upon the legislation of the country, to be still more largely and alarmingly extended by the acnuisitum of . vast tracts ot territory Are the manufacturing establishments of tho country to become, by th.9 bounty oi Congress, 11. extensive proprietors of the rich soil of the y est, and be converted into non-resident land-lords? The resolution must contemplate a specific appropriation of Jar.d, because it so expressly dei-lares, and because the proceeds nf (c so intended, would have been so expressed, and because the term money would plso in elude them. ,Te p.rPosaI. appropriate, lands to the construction of roads and canals, is not con- and all their territories, and as indefinite as the roads and canals which past time has ac complished, present time is completing, and future time may bring into existence, "for the improvement of the country." Upon the admission of new States into the Union, it is usual to grant them a portion, of the public" lands, for the purposes of internal improve ment and education, by express compact, and in consideration of their forbearance to tax the residue. Sometimes sections of land are granted in the States or territories to aid in the prosecution of improvements passing through those lands, as compensation for the enhanced value thus bestowed on them. Whether these specific cases be defensible upon constitutional principles, or founded in wise policy, or not, they have ever been re garded as separate and distinct, not embraced in the great question ofthe power of Congress to carry on a general system of internal im provement throughout the United States, and not constituting precedents for the settlement of that question or for the exercise of that power. The resolution contains no limita tion or restriction to the special cases, cited, but it covers the whole country, and embra ces all the roads and canals designed for its improvement. What then, brieflly, arc the doctrines of General Harrison as developed in the resolu tions which have been the subject of comment. Congress may regulate the tariff of duties on foreigu merchandize, not for revenue only, but for prevention or prohibition of importa tion, ar.d for the purpose of protecting domes tic manufactures. Congress may not only protect manufac tures by duties on foreign goods, but may make direct appropriations of money and by the imposition of duties, and second, by the direct bounty of lands and money. Congress may appropriate any amount of ' money or lands, it thinks proper for the im provement ofthe country by the construction of roads and canals. The compromise is on the eve of expiration. The questions of the tariff and internal improvement are again to be discussed. The issue of the ponding presidential election w ill exert, in all pro bability great influence upon their adjustment. Can any State south of Mason and Dixon's line, support Gen. Harrison with the doc trines contained ia his Ohio resolutions un recanted, without a total abandonment of all their long cherished principles upon the sub jects of the tariff and internal improvement? Will any southern State aid in reviving and fastening upon us a system of policy, which will not be abandoned until Charleston and Norfolk becomes green with grass, and the authors ofthe system be convinced that it is the cause of such verdant desolation?

Harrison not only opposed the reduction of the real slanding army in the time of old John Adams, but he brought forward a scheme while Congress, fraught with the most dan gerous consequences to the liberties of the country; and yet the whigs laud Gen. Harri son to the i-kies, and abuse Mr. Poinsett for doing, as they say, just what Gen. Harrison did years ago. It makes a wonderful differ ance when "my ox" is gored. From thcOnoncIagua (N. Y.) SlandarJ. The plan for disciplining the militia, pro posed by Mr. poinsett, would cost only half a million of dollars annually; while that proposed by Gen. Harrison, with the present number of our militia, would cost about FOUR MIL LIONS OF DOLLARS annually. Gen. Harrison proposed to place the whole force, brought under'discipliue on his system, distinctly within the control ofthe President. On the 3d of February last, Gen. Harrison addressed a letter to the "Louisville Legion," in which he mentioned the plan here brought to view as one of his principal efforts to im prove the discipline ofthe militia. And lurtnermore, in. rtarrisou s Keepers have assured lhe public, that his sentiments have uudergone "no change." Of course, then. Gen. Harrison would urge upon the country with the whole influence of his official station, ifplaced in the Presidential chair, the odious and oppressively Durtoen some scheme proposed by him in a report to Congress. ."-." Now, when the Western State Journal de nounces Gen. Harrison's plan for organizing the militia, the world will have some how of reason for supposing it sincere in denouncing a scheme proposed by Mr. Poinsett, and which has never received the approval of Mr.Yaa Buren. s
