I entertain no doubt cf the authority of Cin
grass to make eppropriatton* for leading ■ bjecla
in that class of public works enmpriaing what
ere usually called works of internal improvement
Thia authority I auppoae to bedetivad chiefly
from the power of regulating commerce wit
foreign nations, aad among the States, and tte
power of laying and collecting imposts. Where
comma ce is to be carried on, and impost# col
leeted, there must he porta and harbors, as well
aswhaifs and custom h-tuaea. If ships, la tansii
with valuable cargoea, approach the shore, or sail
along the cossl, light houses sre neceasery at
suitable points for the piotection of life and pro
perty. Other fsi-ilitire and aecuritiea lor com
merce and navigation are hardly less important!
and those clauses of the Cone tuition, tbarafi'te
to which I have referred, have raesivrd from the
origin of the (i irvrnment a liberal and beneficial
eonstru-tioh.
Not only have light houses, buoys anJ beacons
been established, and (l uting lights maintained
but harbora bv been cleared and improved,
piera constructed, and even briskwatriv for the
safely of shipping, a id seawalls lo protect bsrln re
from being fi'led up, and n ndered useless, by 'he
ectimof the ocein, hare been erected at ven

Constitutioa appeaie the more rata nab * hum
the conider.tiou, that if thus woiks, of such
evident importance and utility , ate not lo be ac.
eompliahed by hey cann-.t be accom
plished at all. B, the adoption of ihe Consti

the power of collecting duties ol nnpoß's in ihcr j

In fulfilling our constitutional duties, fi How.
eit'ltna, on thia subject, ae in carrying into effect

we should consider ourselves as drlthna iog and
acting for one and the asms country, and hear
cdna antly in mind, that our tegnd and i ur duty
■re due, not lo a particular part only but to the
whule.
ltharefore recommend that appropriation* h*
mad* for completing auch work as h.ivo been
already begun, and lor commencing such other*
as may seem to the wisdom of Congress to be if
public and genersl importance.
The difficulties and delays incident to the set
tlemcnt of private claims by Congrsas amount in
many caaes to a denial of justice. Tnere it rea
son lo appiabend th' I many tinforiunste creditors
of the Goveunment have thereby been unavoids
bly ruined. Congress has to much buine is of
■ public character, that it ie impossible it should
give much attention to mere privets claim*, and
their accumulation i* now ao great that many
claimant* mutt deapairot ever being able lo ob
.ieioe biasing. It may well be doubted wheth
er Congrats from the nature of ita organisation,
is profarly constituted to decide upon euch
cute.■ It is impossible that each member should
examine the merited ereiyelainon which he is
..compelled to vnte.fend it is pteposlcrous to a*k a
judge to decide e case which be has sever heard
Such decisions may, end frequently must, do
injustice .either to the claimant or the Guvern
n.eut, and 1 perceive no better remedy for this
growing evil .(ban the establishment of some
tribunal to adjudicate upon euch claims. I beg
leave, therefore,most respectfully, to recommend
that provisions be made by lew fur the appoint

■gainst the United Slates; end,as en rr parte

tei t it against all ill g I, fraudulent -r unjo.i
claims, which may be presented lor their anjndt

Tois District,which has neither voice nor vole
in your deliberahuiie, looks lo yon for protection
and aid, and I commend all tit wants to your la
vorable consideration, with a full confidence that
you will nnet them not only with justice, but
with liberality. It should be borne in wind
that in this city, laid out by Washington, en.i

our nation, the emblem of our Union and the
symbol of our grea nesa. Here also are situated
all Ihe public buildings neressaiy tor the use o!
the Government, and all these are exempt Ir.un
taxation. It should be the pride of Americans
lo render this place an., active lo the people of
the whole Rlpub'uc.atni convenient and *atc for
the Ir'nsaction of Ihe public business and the
V'lesrrvation of the public records. The Govern

of ihe bufdensot all necessary and netul im

more to the healih.comfoit and safely ufthe city,
and ths s curilyul the public buildings and rrc

respectfully recommend that you make aurh pio

you may derm proper.

Opening qf the Assembly—The Message of
the Piesident—An Army of Observation.— The
Legislative Assembly has re-asrembled.
The proceedings in the Assembly were
unimf ortant. The minority are very well
dispoeod towards the government, and the
message has greatly pacified the opposition.
On Wednesday the 43th inst., in his offi
cial documen , Louis Na|>oleori has commit
ted himself to facta and principles foreign to
the alleged tendency ot his ambition, and
considers it more politic to stand by the rev
olutinu, in its integrity, tlan to make a
movement which, failing in its intent, would
throw power into the hands of legitimists.
He professes his obedience to the law and
the constitution of France. The industry ol
ihe country is invested in trade and maim*
tactures, and its eontetitediiess was implied
in the absence of any sigiiillicant agitation.
The President dwells on the condition ol
the finances, the state of the army and navy,
the nature of foreign relations, and hence
that the time has arrived for the cousidera
lion of the principles of free trndo. For
himself, Louis Napoleon disclaims personal
ambition, and invites the Assembly to rid
Itirn of power in consolidating Ihe constitu
tion. The message is a very satisfactory
one. The President premises to conform
to the will of the people.
There were about six hundred members
present at the opening of the Assembly, and
.ri. Dupin was elected President of llin
Chambers by a considerable majority. While
England is alarmed at the introduction of
one cardinal, France rejoices al the elevation
of three Frenchmen lo that honor.

of the Hon. Abbott Lawrence —M. D'lsraeli
has published a manilpsto, accusing the
whigs of countenancing in Ireland, the poli

find it convenient te denounce. In Eng
land, one of the new Catholic Bishops, in a
pastoral charge, goes further than this, and .
slates broadly that the new hierarchy was
arranged with the express sanction of the I
government; and Cardinal Wiseman, who
has arrived in London, is also said to hate
declared that the whole scheme was submit
ted to be approved by the cabinet some time
ago. The no-popery cry never assumed, it
is said, any approach to its present velic
meuce, though the excitement appears con
fined almost exclusively to the middle clas
ses.

ON the first of January next, commen
ces a New Series of this copious, com
nreheiisive anil elegantly primed Family
Newapap-r, which is now- acknowledged to
lie the indis|>eiiNihle drawing room gazette
of the country. A home is hardly compl-te i
we Wink we may safely venture to say, 1
without 'tie Home Journal, which is the
Chronicle of all that interests all classes of
Society, and of the intelligence which
most enlivens an American Home. New-
York is the great centre, and here, at the
fountain head of nnvclty, incident, litera
ture, and foreign news, the Home Journal
is printed and published. Its editor*. (Geo.
P Morris and N. P. Willie.) devote their
entire time, skill, and expeiieme, to the
ta-k of giving, each week, every thing
worth knowing. They particularly keep an
eye on all the whims and noveltiea of New
) ork society, presenting sketches of the ;
Ili-lles ol our time, and careful portraits of J
the distinguished public characters. In ad- 1
dit'Oii tr. this, the utmost pains are taken, by
translations from French journals, and by
loreign correspondence, to prepare such re
ports of the la-hionuble Gossip of pari*, as
will exceedingly instruct and umuse. We
present nur readers, thef eft and out mas cfaU
neus lit our literary department, we aiin
m sketches and > entails crtlnism, and tu our
ciiiidensutions of the fecund productions of
the vast newspaper world of England, we
aim to avoid the tiresome, and the local,
and transfer to our columns the pick of
English information and brilliancy, while
we endeavor to select with a true sense of
pure macule, true u-iI and genuine humour.
In addition to the above, we propose to give
in the course ol tne coming volume, one en•
lirely new feature. which we think will par
ticularly interest the L ultes, viz:—A SERIES
OF RETURNED I.OV E LETTERS. This
being a species of composition that inter
ests all readers, we trust to make the num
bers of the Home Journal more eagerly
looked for, and more carefully preserved
than pver We have also new correspondents
iu London and Paris, who will send us much
that could never reach us through foreign
journals. As a New Year's Present Iroin a
Gentleman to a Ladv, the Home Journal is
one, ol which the remembrance is renewed
every week, and it is unsurpassed as a gift
in good taste.

Philalphia, Jutia-*l, 1849.
Dr. J. N. Ketltr — I received youruo'e this
noriiing asking for information as lo the (lis
ribution I made of the package of cordial
,'ou put into my possession while in com
wand of the U. States transport during the
Mexican war According to your direction a
part was distributed in Vera Cruz, the other
I kept lor the use of my seamen and others
on hoard, beliving 1 should have use for it,-
as I had on hoard frequently from orffe lo
three hundred persons, and that many when
leaving Mexico would be on llie sick list-
Such was the fact, for Dysentery and Diarr
hoea extensively prevailed ; I used the cor
dial freely, and in not a single instance do I
recollect of its having failed to cure. My
own crew would often be attacked with Di
arrhoea, Dysenierry, &c. peculiar to nearly
ail after getting on shore and entiug fruit and
vegetables ; in all such cases the cordial did
not fail to cure speedily
Wher. in New Orleans, a friend Informed
mo of a Philadelphia gentleman, S Church-,
man F.*q, who was sick with the Dysentery,
and despaired of by his doctor I ."netition
ed having a bottle or so of your cordial I
1 sent it lo liirn, and in a few days I had tho
pleasure of seeing him well, 1 can give you
many rmmes mid testimonials of the efficacy
of your cordial if necessary. I have given
it to one ship master of this port, in particu
lar Capt Whipple, ship Moiieugahel i, and he
informed me lie would not be without it I
think it is the safest and best medicine that 1
have ever known to be used in affections ot
the stomach and bowels.
I remain yours res ectfully,

Dear Sir—l am now prepared to recom
mend your cordial from having used it with'
success in several instances, ana I ain now

We are as little disposed as most persons
to encourage appeal* to law or medicine, but
! with all the legerdemain of the first, and the
; ignorance and quakery of the last, appeal
: rnnsl occasionally be made to both. The
I excessive heat and the ac.oompauing pro
| duclions ol the season are already producing
j Diarrhoea, Dysentery and holera Infantum,
l complaints which it not promptly relieved
produce great debility and frequent death,
j From a knowledge of its beneficial effects,

! is a physician of intelligence, skill, and large
| practice, and if the remedies and common
■ dations of medical authority are to be de-
I pended on the ndove named article will be
found useful in the complaints referred to.
i jy Also Dr Keoler's Sarsaparilla, a med
I icirie of great efficacy in freeing the system
from all disease* arising from impurities ot
the blood. In chronic diseases Of the chest,
! stomach liver snd -kin it is of great benefit.
