My own judgement is entirely clear and smiyied on the sulject." Why, we ask, did Mr. WEDSTEa refuse to present the compromise 'propositlon prepared by himself his own judgement being "entirely dear and Fails , „fiat Da the suljert." It was because Messrs. CLEIT . TENDEN, E_VANS and other leading Whig fenators refused to vote for anwadments to the bill, leaving the honest and sincere friends of a fair and just Tariff policy in the minority in the Senate. Reader, af ter having perused the appended correspondence loan the paper to your neighbor and ask him too to give it a careful reading: From the iVational intelligence,- of Friday, _ WAsaINCTON, July a), ISI6. To the Editors of the Intelligencer : GENTLE.MEN: In tbe latter of your New York correspoadent published in the Litelligencer of this morning. we find the following paragraph: w youx, July 2t, IS-Id. ';lan a former letter.l gave you my views of the new Tariff bill, and the rumored proposition for a ' compromise. 'lt remains unchanged: A %cry large majority of the Whigs are opposed, and most decidedly opposed, to, any compromise bill which shall surrender the great and leading principle of specificAuties. Abandon that, and you abandon every hope of honestly collecting the duties. A majority- of the it/write:es presented at the custom house will be fraudulently and yet readily sworn to. On this point I can speak of facts within my I own knowledge while Deputy Collector." This would imply-that the proposition which had been contemplated -to be made for amending the bill lately passed was a proposition for a "com promise," and a proposition which "surrendered the great and leading principle of specific duties." We cannot *ell conceive how your correspon dent should have been so exceedingly uninformed in regard to the proposi tion of which be speaks, since it had been published in the New York papers, I and might have been read by all. The proposition was no compromise either by name or character, in any other sense than as an amendment proposed to any bill, essentially alter ' tering its character and provisions, in order to _! make them more uselul and more acceptable, may : be called a compromise. Tne proposed amend, ment in this case surrendered no Specific duty,' not one; it retained all the ,principles and all the regulations of the act of 1842. Its only olYect was to reduce some of the higher rates or didics' imposed by that art, which, however necessary when the: act teas passrecilllE DEEMED NOT NECESSA-: ;_RY NOW. We cannot say whether it be true that , 1 largeen majority of the Whigs of the city of New York are opposed to this amendment or not. If they are, it must be because, like your correspon dent, they have not Made themselves acquainted ::with it But we have the means of knotting, and. We do; know.. that those interested in the protection of domestic manufacturers, so far as there has lain final for them to become acquainted wit h the proposed 0117eild- I nista were decidedly in :its favor, without an exception,: to one` lenowledge.

GENTLEMEN: I have received your letter, of this date, and ant happy to learn that you concur with me in thinking that the preposition which I hare pre pared as an amendment to the pending bill is suited to the present condition of the country, and will prob ably be acceptable, under the circumstances, to those (vareiwidin all the great and indw*Figtpur suits or at least that they can lice under-it. it -r. 4 JUDGEIFLENTxqEXTIRELr CLEAR. .usu SAT LT: IVIED ore THE 81711JECT. . This arneadrneitt nei ther at tacks nor abandons the principles or the poll. cy of the -act of 18-12. On the contrary, it retains all the principles of that important law and main tains its whole policy. It is true it propotes a large reduction on the higher rates of duties imposed by ! that law. Those high rates were deemed esseatint Own that latepas_e:', as at that time all the great! iitettstr:al into tea eye the comery were ehpressed and prostrated tinder the benign influence of that law those in terests hare recited, and attaiard to rad; a degree lof strength as to jugify the here that, with erict CCOnplPy and Fy the, prcr-ress of impuorcuuat, they may be able to sustain titemselves with a reduced de ,yee of protection But this hope is very much founued on the idea, that, if what is proposed be now dune, it shall be considered asap arrangement rthith is to be durable, arid which shall relieve men engaged in these .pursuits from the et its of constant. uncertainty and appiehension. But 1 Cannot say, gentlemen, whether I shall mote this proposition. Others must be consul.ed. If I should find among them the prevalence of such sentiments as I entertain myself, I shall bring the amendment forward, especially if it should ap pear that the very extraordinary , and dangerous measure now helme the Senate is likely to become a law. To the success of a. great movement of this sort, union of purpose and harmony of action are essential. Without reasonable expectatioti that such union and harmony may be produced in a considerable degree among the friends of the preAt law and the existing policy of the coon-• try, it would beimprudent to submit the proposil tion to the tr'cuale. I am, gentlemen, your obliged friend and very humble servant, DANIEL WEBSTER, To Meisrs. Lamb, Chambers, Corning, and °di The publication of tie above correspondence has greatly enraged the Washington correspon dent of the United States Gazette. lie says: "A correspondence was published in the InteM gt-neer yesterday vv hich created no little surprise and some feeling; I alluded to that of certain ;cr imps, manufacturers, who represent various bran ches of manufactures, and Mr. lirebster, in rela tion to the amendment which he had at one time' in contemplation to make to the tariff bill, hut; which he found it more prudent not to present, but which was presented by Mr. CaMeron and voted down without a division. What purpose those ho caused this publication had in view, I cannot say; but one thing I will say, and can say it with a lull knowledge of what I speak, and that is, that if the Whigs in Congress are to be assailed by those whose interests they are endeavoring to serve, they will feel little encouragement to stand up for those intelests.

When «•e advance a step beyond this point, and in addition to the estabhshment and support, by appropriations from the treasury, of light•hom cs, beacons, lmp, piers, and other improvements within the hays, inhls, and harbors ou our ocean and lake coasts immediately connected with our foreign commerce, and attempt to maker improve ments in the interior at points tuiconneeled with foreign commerce, and IA here they are not needed for the protection and security of our nary and commercial marine, the difficulty in - rises in draw ing a line.beyond %%Melt appropriations may not be made by the federal government. One of my predecessors, who saw t h e evil con - c• qt:ences of the s3strni proposed to be revived by this bill, attempted to define this line by declaring that, "expenditures of this character' should be -confuted below the ports of entry or delta - cry es tablished by law!" Acting on this restriction, he withheld his sanction from a bill which had passed Congress , -to improve the navigation of the Wa bash river." He was at the same time “..ensible that this restriction was not as satisfactory as could be desired, and that much embarrassment may be caused to the executive department in its execution, by appropriations for remote and not well understood objects." This restriction, it was soon found, was subject to be evaded, and rendered comparatively useless in checking, the system of improvements which it was designed to arrest, in consequence of the facility with which ports of en try and delivery may be established by law upon the tipper waters, and in some instances, almost at the head of springs of some of the most unimpor tant rivers, and at points on our coast possessing no commercial importance, and not used as a pla ce of refuge and safety by our navy, and other ship Ogg. Many of the ports of entry and delivery now authorized by late, so far as foreio ' n commerce is concerned, exist only in the statue books, No en try of foreign goods is ever made, and no duties arc ever collected at them. No exports of American products bound for foreign countries, ever clede from them. To assume that their existence in the statue-book as ports of entry or delivery warrant , exrenditures on the waters leading to them, at hich would Le otherwise unauthorized, would be to as sert the propositiqn, that the law -making power may engraft new provisions on the constitution. If the restriction to a sound one, it Can only apply to the bays, inlets, and ricers connected with or leaning to such ports as and-illy have-foreign commerce; ports at which foreign importations ~Y,'.' . MIS River and Harbor BM. ArET o Dig,SS AGE To the House of Reineseyea'ives: I have considered the bill entitled "An act ma king appropriations _for the improvement of cer tain harbors and rivers . ' with the care which the importance of the subject demands, and now re turn the same to the House of Representatives in which it originated, with my objections to its be coming a law. The bill prop :es to appropriate one million three hundred and seventy-eight thou-1 sand four hundred and fifty dollars to be applied to more than forty distinct and separate objects of improvement On examining its provisions, and. the variety of ohjects of improvement which it embrace:3, many of them of a local character, it is difficult to conceive, if it shall be sanctioned as a law, what practical constitutional restraint can hereafter be imposed upon the most extended sy-- tern of internal improvements-by the federal gov ernment in all parts of the Union. Tl.e constitu tion has not, in my judgement, conferred upon the federal government the power to construct . worksl of internal improvement . Vtithin the 'States ) or, to appropriate money from the treasury for that pur pose. That this bill assumes for the federal gov ernment the right to exercise this power,.cannot,l I think. be doubted.. The approved.course of 'the government, and the: deldpratelyeXpre*d judge ment of the people, have denied the existedce of such a power under 'life constitution. l . reveral of my predecessors have Mewled its existence in the most solemn forms. The general Proposition that the federal govern ment does not Possess this power is so well settled, and has for a considerable period teen so greatly ! acquiesced in, that it is not deemed necessary to reiterate the arguments by which it is sustaieetl. For do I deem it necessary, after the Mil and crab orate discussions which have taken plime be,bre the country on this subject, to do mote than state ' tie generid considerations which hate satisfied mc ' of the unconstitutionality and inexpelency of the exercise of such a power. It is not questioned that the federal government is one of hunted pow era. Its pow ers are su c h, an d such only as are expressly granted in the constitu tht, or are properly incident to the expressly grant 'ed powers, and necessary to their execution. In delertnioing whether a given power has been granted a sound rule of C l / 1111 11111:111/11 has been laid dotal by /11,-. .Hobson That ride is, that -or Ilen e% er a question arises concerning a particular pow er, the first question is whether the power be ex pressed in the constittniom II it be, the question is decided. If it le not expressed, the next inqui ry rust Le, whether it is properly 'an incident to an expressed rote et, and necessary to its execution. If it la% it may be exercised by Cont , ress. ,fit be not, Congress cannot exercise it. - It is not pre tended that there are any express grunt in the con slit icion conferring on Congress the power in ques tion. Is it then an incidental power, necessary and proper for tire execution of any.of the granted poet ersf All the granted powers, it is confidently alarmed, may be effectually executed without the aid of such an incident. -A power to le inciden tal roust not he exercised for ends which make it a minciled. or substantive rt.rl.ler. independent of the principal power to which it is an incident.-- I It is riot enough that it may be regarded by Von-' gees as cohreJiicut, or that its exercise would ad-! lance the public weal. It must be necessary and purr to the execution of the principal expressed, power to which it is an incident, and without which such principal power cannot be carried into e fi;.. e t. The whole frame of the federal constitutioleJ: proles that the got eminent which it creates was intended to he (me of limited-and specified powers. A construction of the constitution co broad as that I by which the power in question is defended, tends imperceptibly to a consideration of power in a gov eminent intended by its framers to ire thus limited in its authority. "The obvious tendency and inevi table result of a consolidation of the States into one sovereignty would be to transform the republican, system of the United States ittto a monarchy. - -i To guard against the assumption of all powers, winch encroach upon the retterve.A sm. ereignly of the `fates, and %%Melt consequently' tend to eonsol-I idation, is the duty of all the true friends of our . l political system. '1 hat the power in question is not proveily an incident to any of the granted power:., I am fully satisfied ; tut it' there wets doubts on this rathject, experience has demonstrated the wisdom of tire rub that all the funetionartes' of the federal goverhutem :hould abstain from tile' exercise of all nipplesllona:sic or doubtful powers.' If an eulargernent of the powers of tine federal gov ernment should be denned proper. it is safer and wiser to apt , eal to the States and the people in the mode prescribed by the constitution for the grant desired, than to assume its exercise w ithout an amendment 01 the coiistitution. If Congress does not possess the general 1101Ver to construct works of internal improtement within the States, or to appropriate money from 11 e treasury fur that pur pose, what is there to exempt some. at least, of the objects of appropriation included in this bill from the operation of the general rule! This bill assumes the existence of the power, and in sonic of its provisions asserts the principle, that Con gress may exercise it as fully as though the appro priations which it proposes were' applicable to the construction of roads and canals. If there be a distinction in principle. it is not perceived, an I should be clearly defined. Sortie of the objects of appropriirion contained in this bill are Meal in their character, and lie within the limits of a sin gle State; and though, in the language of the bill, they are called hirb,,c.., they are not connected with foreign commerce, nor are they places of ref uge or shelter for our navy, or commercial marine on the ocean or lake shores. To call the mouth of a creek, or a shallow inlet on our coast, a halbor cannot con!Cr the autiMrity to eximnd the public money in its impro‘etnent. Congress have exer cited the power coeval with the constitution of establishing light-home, beacons, buoys, and piers oti our ocean anti take shores, for the purp.ise of rendering navigation sari: and easy, and of affor ding protection and shelter for our navy arid othe r shipping. The:e are sa,eguards placed in exis ting channels of navigation. After the long ae 'rmiescence of the got eminent through all precis ding administrations. I an, nut disposed to question on di.tutb the authority- to make appropriations fur such purposes. arrive in bulk, paying the duti(S charged by law, and from. which exports are !made to foreign countriei. It will be foOnd by applying the restriction thus understercid to the bill under consideration, that it contains appropriations i for more than' twenty ob jects of ititernadimprovernent, called in: bill liar; burs, at placea which hate never been declared by law either ports of tinny or delivery, and at Which. as appearsTnina the records of the treasury, there has never been, an arrival of foreign merchandise, and froM which there bas never been a vessel clear ed for' a foreign country. It will Le found that many of these works'are new, and places fur the improvement of which appropriaitions are now for the first time propeted.. It will be found, also, that the bill contains appropriations for rivets upon which dhere not only? exists no foreign.commercef but upon which Merit has net been established et en a paper port of e try; and for the mouths of creeks, denominated harborit4 which if improved, can bene fit only the particelar neighborhood in which they are situated. It Will be found, tOo, to contain ap propriations the expenditure of which will only hate the effect of improt ing one place at the ex pense of the local„ natural advantages of anotherfin its vicinity. Shduld this bill become, a law the, same principle whieh authorized the appropriations' 'which it proposesi'M make, would also authorize similar appropriations for the improvement of all the other bays, inlets and creeks,which may with' equal propriety be called harbors, and:of all tire, raver, important or unimportant,' in el Cry part of the Union. To sanction the bill with such pro visions, would be to concede the principle that the federal goVernmtinfposilesses the power to e.vpetal the public motley in a general system of internal runprovements, limited in its extent only by the ev er varying discretion of sncessive iConttresses arid successit e Lxeculites. It %A oiticl , be to ,ell:tee and remove the limitations and restnetions.of power,' which the constitution has wiselyiprovidetl to lim it the authority and action of the federal govern ment to a few well-defined and specired objects.— liesides those objections, the praetical evils which must flow from the exercise, on the part of the Jud i era! ttoveminent, of The powers asserted in this bill. impress my naiad with a grav-e sense of my duty to avert them from the cottony, as far as my con stitutional. action may enable me to do so. It not only leads to a consolidation of power in the federal government at the expense of the right ful authority of the States, het ifs inevitable ten dency is, to embrace objects fin the expenditure of the public money, which are local in their charac ter, beritteuting but few at the expense of the corn nton treasury of the,rt hole. It trill engender sec tional feelings and prejudices calculated to dis• turb I.c harmony of the Union. It will destroy the harmony which should ptievail in out legisla‘ tit e counsels. It will produce combinations of local and sec tional interests, streng.enough, when united, to car ry- propositions for appropriotions:ofpublie money which could not of thernseices. and 'standing Moue succeed, and cannot fail to lead to wasteful and ex travagant expenditures. It must produce a disreputable scramble for the public money. by the conflict which is imepara. ble from Such a sys Orin, hew een Ideal and int livid nal interests and the general intelests cattle whole. it is unjust to tlte States which bane with their own means curistrueted their WWI internal im pro% ements, to make from the cannon trra.zury appropriations for similar improvements in other StilleS. v In this operation it will be oppressive and unjust towards those States whore, Fewer entatives and people either deny or doubt the existecee of the poster. or think its exercise inexpedient, and who, while they equally contribute to the treasory, can ; not consistently with their opinions engage itt the general competition for the public money. Thus la large portion of the Union in numbers and in geographical extent, contributing its equal propor tion of taxes to the general got ernmenf,' tt ould, under the operation of such a system, be compell ed to ECC the national treasure—tfie comonm stock of all--‘antequally disbursed, and °Pen its. providently wasted for the advantage of small sec !

Should the system of internal .40- provements proposed prevail, all theie yids will multiply oral increase with the increase of the I number of the 'States, and theextension of the get). j graphical limits of the settled portions of ourl 1 country. With the itnieuie of our numbers and; the extension of our s'ettlentents, the local object s , commanding appropriations of the public money fur their improt mem will he proportion:ord ) - i n _ I creased. In each case the expenditure of the pub ; lic money would confer benefits and favors, direct or indirect, only on a section, while these sections would become less la comparison with the whole. The wisdom of the framers of the constitution lin withholding power over such objects froth the ; federal government, and leavieg them to the local governments of the States, becomes more and more i manifest with et ery years experience of the opera , hosts of our s) slem. In a country of limited extent, with but few j such objects of expenditure, (if the Mini of gov , eminent peintit:el it,) a COMMON treasury might he used;nar their noprot ement with much less in equality and injiittice than in one of the vast ex tent which Ours no-a• pre.;ents M population and terrimry.

If no constitutional objections existed to the bill, !bete ale others of a serious nature which deserve some consideration. It appropriates be tweet) one and two millions of dollars tor objects which are of no pressing necessity; and this is proposed at a time when the country is'engaged iu a foreign war, and when Congress at its peseta session has authorized a loan or the issue of trea sury no:es to defray the expenses of the war, to be resorted to if the -exigencies of the:tot eminent shallß:quiie it." It would seem to be the dictate of wisdom under such circumstances to husband our means, and not to waste them on compiratit e ly unit - uncut-tut objects, so that we may reduce the loan or issue of treasury notes which may became necessary to the smallest practical sum. It would Feern to be wise, too, to abstain front such expen ditures wink a view to avoid the accumulation of a large public debt, the existence of which would he opposed to the genius of our free institutions. should this bill become a law, the principle which it establishes will him itably lead to large and annually Met easing appropriations and drain s upon the treasury, for it is not to be llonbted that 1111iller0113 other localities not embraced in its pro visions, but quite as touch entitled to the favor of the got eminent as those which sirs embrace!, will demand, through their representatives in.

Because, not long ago they drum:aced and stigma tized "Honest" John Tyler, as a traitor, liar and scoundtel, l refitslng to carry`. out ecrtaiff princi ples, which they said he wan nominated tol Sustain, and which he pledged himself to support, if elected. ' • The• whip knew shouts[" John Tyler, *as op posed to their United iliale4 .

Did "honest John" pledge himself to thelhiaders to carry out their secret plans? Ile avers that he did not, and the whips assert that he did Which is the correct version oNThe compact. none but the conspirators can tell.' Their plans were not published, they were not intended' or the public eye. Nothing was known to the uninitiated until the people were astounded by the resigm tint, of Tyler's Cabinet, and .a burst of indignation from the whig - prestr, from Maine to Georgia,a.rous ed the people to : . loniething like an inquirS , ,._ what. is the matter? The Whigs, in a perfect hdiricatie of denunciation_ and torrent of vituFeratioh, said that "Honest" John had betrayed the trust repoLed in him, that he had turned traitor on their hands,' refused to sign their Batik charter, tetoed the Di.. - laillion, Taritf—in short he had gone over to the enemy. • It was to no purpose that Tyler said a Dank 'charter wus not in the bond. The whigs said he Bed, and they put him on his trial forjrtklson Henry Clay officiated as prosecuting atemb6-, the truest and best whigs in the nation were brOught forward to prove the fact, to a packed, jury, and Tyler was hound guilty, sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered, and his remains to be;scat tered to the four winds of heaven, as an example to, all - traitors to party pledges. After all, the question is simply thist Did John Tyler pledge himself to carry out certain Princi ples of the Whig convention that nominated him? If be did so pledge himself and afterwards refused, he was justly stigmatize:l as a traitor to his party. Upon what principle, then; of honesty and truth, can the whigs turn round and burn and encourage others to do so, the effegy of Gee. M.
