introduced in Congress a bill to grant what the Legislature had so un justly refused Under the impulse of the moment many of people were willing to accept the bill as the pana cea for our ills But after mature reflec tion (and we speak only for ourself) it would be unwise in the ext rrine to sacri fice it great principle of Mate sovereignty fur a temporary advantage or the gratifi cationof personal spite The friends of the road win belong to that purl iuii of the 1 democratic party that has livid so tenaciously to the reserved riglitsof the Statesand a strict const ruc tion of the powers of the General Govern ment cannot conscientiously endorse the granting of this chin ter by Congress ional enactment The doctrine promul gated (ton Jai kmx in his message vetoing act authorizing

exercised by the Government in a single instance It does not in my opinion possess it and no bill therefore which admits it can receive my ofiicial sanction While wo are prepared to stand by this interpretation of Democratic doctrine wo recognize the fact that in our ranks to day are a large number uf gentlemen who formerly belonged to the old Whig party and who can consistently take a different view of this question and who endorse the doctrine promulgated by Robert Wickliffe in the Kentucky Legislature inlsjs and which has been cited as autlmrity for the granting of this charter by Congress There is a eoninmn ground however on which all can stand and by a persist ent earnest effort we can yet have a State charter for this road Let us go before theenjp ofthv Commonwealth in the canvass now about to upon present our cause and ask them to send men to the Legislature who will reverse the illiberal ami selfish action of the present Senate and grant us the charter We can as sure them that wc do not ask any legis lat ion we arc not willing to grant under similar circumstances We have the most implicit confidence that our appeal will not be in vain and that next winter we
