Me winds, up this' subject, by saying, ' entertaining these views, f cannot "ive you anv encouragement, that I will, in the event of my election to the Presi dency, favor that policy: fthat i, the each, for the purposes above spcciSed !" In reply to the 1st f .these interrogato- rtcs, Mr. jVau uuren says : " In mf opinian Congress does not pos sess the power, under the Constitution, to raise money for ..distribution among the States : and if a distinction can be. main litined between raisin money Tor ia purpose, and the distribution of an une Reeled surplus, (of which I am not fratis tied ;) I think it ought not to be attempt ed without a previous amendment of the Cmtilutiou, defining its authority, and regulating its exercise." lie goes on to taj : It is my nrm conviction, tuat a- ny nyilcm by .which a system ot ilistriDu- lion among the States, ot moneys coilect fd by the Federal Government, would introduce vices into the .-LegKlalion of both Governments, productive of the most injurious effects, as well upon the best interest of the country, as upon the per petuity of our institutions." Frorft the above extracts it will be seen that Mr. Van Buren, in the lt place, is of opinion that Congress has not the Con stitutional power to make the distribution: and 2udly, that he is opposed lo the dis tribution in any form whatever. His rea soning on the first position is, that Con gress has not the right to raise money for distribution, therefore if thev have an un avoidable surplus of the people's money, thev cannot distribute it. Mr. Van Bu ren here claims for himself a greater de gree of mental obtusencss, than can well be allowed to any individual who is a candidate for the Presidency of the Uni ted States, when he says he cannot dis criminate between giving to the people anunexpected or unavoidable surplus that may be in the Treasury of the U. S. and which is the peopleVmonev, and not that ol Congress j and the raUfn- money yjj th peop'e's monev V'onyesf, on purposc to distribute. -., Ifi Lf c,rru an',, mnvt.n,Vv us test this reasotiing, dv a laminar ex itiiole. A has tu hia hand, as agent, one hundred dollars of the money of Baud C, and having no right to force a collection tf money from B & C merely to'give back to t!;e:!', therefore A has no right to give hack to B& C the, money 'which he has in puseiou as tcir agent, which be lories to them tor the verity of this rea soning, we refer to the logic of Mr. Van Buren. Secondly. He is opposed to a distribu tion in any shape whatever ; because, he sa)S it wiruld introduce vices into the 5 legislation of the Govcri.-ment, pioilnctive ol the nmt injurious eflTeets." What tT.cse destructive vices would be, or what tliosc enot innus evils are, that would grow out of a distribution "of the surplus reve nue among the several States ' to be spj'iitu for purposes ot internal improve ment, education, and buclr. other purpo ses as tley niint see tit to apply them to," 'Mr, Van'Bureii- does not think pro- f er to particularize. - r And we are of omhion4hat it would be hard for Mr. Van Buren by any process l reaouin:, hi inventive cranium could produce, to convince the people 6f the.
