INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.
Extract from the President's Message.
Almost at the moment of the
adjournment of your lust ses
sion, two bills, the one entitled
"An act fur making appropria
tion for building light-houses,
light-boats, beacons, and mon
uments, placing buoys, dud for
improving harbors and direct
ing surveys," and the other,
"An act to authorize a sub
scription for stock in the Louis
ville iiid Portland Canal Com
pany," were submitted for my
approval; It was not possible,
within the time allowed me,
before the close of the session,
lo give these bills the consid
eration which was due to their
character and importance; and
I was compelled to retain them
for that purpose. 1 now avail
myself of this early opportunity
to return them to the Houses
in which they respectively or
igiualed, with ihe reasons
which, after mature delibera
tion, compel me to withhold my
approval.
The practice of defraying
out of the Treasury of the Uni
ted States the expanses incur
red by the establishment and
support of light-houses, beac
ons, buoys, and public, titers,
within the bays, inlets, harbors,
and ports of the United States,
to tender tite navigation thereof
safe and easy, is coeval with
the adoption of the Constitution,
and has been continued without
interruption or dispute.
As our foreign commerce
increased, and was extended
into the interior of the country
by the establishment of ports of
entry and delivery upon our
navigable rivers, the sphere o
tliose expenditures received
corresponding enlargement
Light-houses, beacons,, buovs.
public piers, and the removal
of sand-bars, sawyers, and. oth
er partial or temporary impedi
ments in the navigable rivers
and harbors which were em
braced in the revenue districts
from time to time established
by law, were authorized upon
the same principle, and the ex
pense defrayed in the same
manner. That these expenses
have at times been extravagant
and disproportionate, is very
probable. The circumstances
under which they are incurred
are well calculated to lead to
such a result, unless their ap
plication is subjected to the
closest scrutiny. The local
advantages arising from the
disbursement of public: money,
too frequently, it is to be feared,
invite appropriations for objects
of this character that are nei
ther necessary nor useful.
The number of light-house
keepers is already very large,
and the bill before me proposes
to add to it fifty-one more, of
various descriptions. From re
presentations upon the subject
which are understood to be en
titled to respect, T am induced
to believe that there Inis not
only been great improvidence
in the past expenditures of the
Government upon these ob
jects, but that the security of
navigation has, in some instan
ces, been diminished by the
multiplication of light-houses,
and consequent change of
lights; upon the coast. It is in
this, as in other respects, our
duty u, avoid ail unnecessary
expense, as well as every in
crease of patronage not called
for by the public service. But,
in the discharge of that duty in
this particular, it must not be
forgotten that, m relation to
our foreign commerce, the bur
den and benefit of protecting
and accommodating it neces
sarily go together, and must do
o as long as the puplic reve
nue is drawn from the people
through the custom-house. It
is indisputable, that whatever
gives facility arid security to
navigation, cheapens irnnorts:
arid all who consume them are
alike interested in whatever
produces this effect. If t!
consume, they ought, as they
now do, to pay; otherwise, they
do not pay. The consumer in
the most inland State derives
the same advantage from every
necessary and nrodent exnen-
ouure lor me taciliiy and secu
rity of our foreign commerce
and navigation, that he does
who resides in a maritime
ibtate. Local expenditures
have not, of themselves, a cor
respondent operation.
From a bill making direct
appropriations for such objects,
I should not have withheld my
assent. The one now return
ed does so in several particu
lars, but it also contains appro
priations for surveys of a local
character, which i cannot ap
prove. It gives me satisfaction
to find that no serious inconve
nience has arisen from with
holding my approval from this
bill; nor will it, 1 trust, be cause
of regret that an opportunity
will be thereby afforded for
Congress to review its provis
ions under circumstances better
calculated for full investigation
than those under which it was
passed.
In speaking of direct appro
priations, I mean not to include
a practice which has obtained
to some extent, and to which I
have, in one instance, in a dif
ferenf capacity, given my as
sent that of subscribing to tho
stock of private associations.
Positive experience, and a
more thorough consideration of
the subject, have convinced me
of the impropriety as well as
inexpediency of such invest
ments. All improvements ef
fected by the funds of the na
tion for general use should bo
open to the enjoyment of all
our fellow-citizens, exempt
from the 'payment of tolls, or a
ny imposition of that character.
The practice of thus mingling
the concerns of the Govern
ment with those of the States or
of individuals, is inconsistent
with the object of its institu
tion, and highly impolitic. Tho
successful operation of the fed
eral system can only be preser
ved by confining it to the few
and simple, but yet important
obiccts for which it was design
ed. A different practice, if al
lowed to progress, would ulti
mately change the character of
this Government hy consoli
dating into one the General and
State Governments, which
were intended to be kept forev
er distinct. I cannot perceive
how bills authorizing such sub
scriptions can be otherwise re-
contimicd on last puge.
s
