There is no doubt the prin- Pj,e involved in it would be hereafter pro duciive nf the most hazardous results to the general government, by encouraging ihe cx psndiiure of its funds for purposes ofa see- tional rather ihin a general benefit to tin people at latge. It is justly remarked by the President, that were the piinciple ne eesnanly involved, conceded, 'the treasury of the world would hardly be equal lo tin improvement of every bay, inlel creek and river in our country, which mighl be sup posed to promote the agricultural manufac toring our coirmercial interests of a neigh borhood.'

HASN'T CHANGED. The Union, of Wednesday, contains an Heresting document, in reference lo perfct consistency which the President his always maintained in his political career. The paper in question is a re port made by Mr. Polk, from i select committee, lo whom had been referred the suhject oi a 'Distribution of Surplus Fondsm January, 1831, more than fifteen and a half yean ego It is a mosl able document, and fully discuses the theory of the Constitution, upon the subj-cl ol 'disTibution,' and particularly 'internal improvement.' Thd sentiments ex- ptessed by Ihe 'resident in his late message, vetoing ihe 'River anil Ilubor Bill are in perfect consistence with hose set forth in ih s piior report showing that he hag alwjys been, what his friends have declaied, a consistent politician. Does not Ihe seeming igno rance of Ihe federalists, in 1S14, in re gard lo ihe very name ofMr. Polk, seem doubly strange, when an impoitam State paper like this, uovv and then turns up? We presume by this lime, however, their ears are becoming famil iarized lo Ihe sound of hid name! Romantic Incident. tfi the late fire in Quebec, the following romantic in cident occurred: Whilst the devouring flames wen rapidly enveloping every portion of ihif noble structure, Ihe doors being entirely blockaded by the mass of human being, who, in their consternation, had precip itated themselves upon lhem,in the vain hope of escaping lo Ihe open air, a young lady, the betul.ful and accomp'ished Ais Si.

Theie she stood ihe bright glare from the approach ing flames displaying in hold relief, I h i. ..i, .... tvui ii ncr noble, yet sylph like form. An expression of agonizing despair was stamped on Ihat fair face, which, bu' a fe.v moments before, had been decked in radiant smiles, i lie palorcf dea'h had usurped the place of the roe.

To all human appear ance, no air! roulil reach her few minutes more and she must be lost for ever. Al this moment, claspi ig her hands, fhe exclaimed in liparl rending 'rents, 'my mother!' and immediately ifier the word 'William' fell from her lips in softer lone. Now a rtifh wa? heard al ihe extremity of the crowd, and a yoime rrnn, dressed in fatigue suil of a U. S.

This tablo exhibits the fact, that the lute act raises the duties upon many arti cles of luxury, and reduces them on many articles of gcnei nl uso. A thorough comparison of the de tails of the acts ol '12 and '40 is a work of difficul ty, where the change is from specific to advaloium duties, and the urticlo is one of fluctuating price, or voiied rati a of value. Upon the whole, the new law materially reduces duties from ihe rates of tho old, although there is un increase upon numerous articles, as the statement shows. The Whig pa per of this county, complained last week of this statement, or table of comparison, as decoptive, and uf its publication as an attempt to deceive. We confess that wc are unable to perceivo Ihe justice ofihis occupation. How the mere exhibition of facti in relation to rates of duty under the two laws is deceptive, must I e made lo appear before it is admitted. The statoment does not profess t ivc ail Ihe details of the tariff; but so far as it gocs.it is 6trictly and incontcetibly accurate Uhilc upon this subject, we will say, that th only attempt at deception in the publication of thin statement, which we have noticed, was in a Whig newspaper, wc think the United Slates Gazette. The btutement was published with the word 'Lux- unes at tin) top, ind the words " Articles of general use," lower down carefully omitted !
