v I now proceed to notice some of the
more important questions, which may
be regarded as testing the principles
of the party, in the order in which
they have arisen for the decision of
Congress.' The first which presented
itself was the subject of internal im
provement byltnef' Genera Govern
ment, i n vol i n both th5 x ped ient
"of the aVsteoi proposed and tin! consti

subjfct. In the-South and;Southwest,
with few exceptions the members of the
Jackson party were strenuously oppos
ed to the whole 'scheme in Virginia,
. South Carolina, and Georgia, upon
constitutional grounds. This was
supposed to be a fair test question be
tween Ihe republican and federal par
ties; the great line of ..principle which
separated them being the proper rule'
-tf interpreting the ' Constitution
whether strictly, and with a view to
limit the power and : patronage of the
Government, or liberally, ith a view
to enlarge its powers and give greater
Btrensth to its action. In the North
and West,: hoVeyer, the members of
the Jackson party differed front their

internal improvement hits been sanc

Tt'w pretended .that this exception is
justified br the compact between the
Federal' Government? and the States
north of the OhiftrN; which stipulated
that a certain proportion of the pro

R'ates should be applied to the con-
mction of a road from the Atlantic
to those States. It is not bo, When
the stipulated proportion of the pro
eeeds of the public lands was applied
from time to time, the terms ' of the
compart were fulfilled, and the power
of the Federal Government ceased.-

relation to the principles and probable
course of Mr. Van Borer, upon the
subject of internal improvement. . It
is due alike to him and i themselves
that hey should state whether these
thing be true or not. It is needless to
say that in the South that gentleman is
understood to entertain principles di
rectly the opposite of those ascribed to
him north of the Ohio. Sir, it U a
singular fact that in the exposition of
the relative prospects of Mr Van Bu
ren and Judge White for the Presiden
cy, contained in an early and ably
written article of the Nashville Union,
a, newspaper got op for the express
purpose of advancing the interests of
the Vice President in Tennessee, the
ground was openly assumed, and, con
sidering where it was done, and under
whose auspices.it was most audacious
ly assumed, that Judge White could
not get the votes of the States north of
the Ohio, by reason of, hi rigid course
and opinions upon the subject of inter
nal improvement, but Mr. Van Buren,
it was left to be inferred, might

Southern gentlemen who support him
answer tikis question. -IHs wtirrthjr of
notice, )Jase very, small' eifcum
stances sometimes indicate the most
important results, that this article of
the Nashville Union was republished
in the Richmond Enquirer, and, as I
remember, without comment upon this
point. I have said enouh ution this
subject to show that a system of inter
