By an act passed in the year annual approbation was made of ten millions of dollars, which vcre vested in the Commis sioners of the sinking fund, tn pay (he principal anu the interest of the public debt. That act was prepared and carried through Con gress by one of Ihe most estimable and en lightened men that this country ever produ ced, whose premature death is to be lamented on every account, but especially, because' if he were now living, he would be able, more than any other man, to check the extrava gance and calm the violence raging in South Carolina, his native State. Under the opera tion of that act, nearly one hundred and fifty millions of the principal and the iuterst of. ihe pnplic dent were paid, prior to the com- menctment ol the present administration, During that of Mr. Adams between forty and fllty were paid, whilst larger appropriation! of money and land were made, lo objects of Internal improvement than ever had been made by all preceding administrations together.

There only remained about fifty millions to be paid when the present Chief Magistrate entered on the duties ol that office, and considerable portion of that cannot be discharged during his present official term. The redemption of the debt, is, therefore the work of Congress the President has nothing lo do with it, the becretury of the Treasury hein directed annually to pay the ten millions to the Commissioners of ihe Sinkrkg Fund whose duty it is to apply the amount lo the eslin guishment of the debt.

I ne veio message is perieclly irrecohcilea- Me with the previous acts, i otes, and opinions of General Jackson. It does not express his o- inoeoi nisaurners and counsellors.

Kespccially-those of his Cabmnt, If we look at Hit composition of that Cabinet we cannot doubtit. Three of the five who, I believe compose it, (whether the Postmaster Generl be one or not, I do not know,) are known to be directly and positivelytipposed to toe power; fourth, to use a term descriptive of the favorite policy of one of them, is a noricommiiui and as to the fifth, good Lord aeliver us from 1. i such inriiuMiip ns nij in iniernal improvements. Further I have, heard it from good au thority, (hut will not vouch it although I believe ii to be true,) that some of the entle-men from Ihe South waited upon the President, whilst he In Id the Maysville bill under consideration, and told him that if he approved of that bill the South would no longer ap- prive in nun, nui pTOe nis administration. I therefore, consider that as conveying ihe senti i ents and views of the President.

It is impossible. It is the woik of his Cabinet and if unfortunately, they were not practically irresponsible to the people of the IX States, they would deserve severe animadversions for having prevailed upon the 'resident, in the precipitation of business, and perhaps without his spectacles, to put his name to tuck a paper, and to send it forth to cou-gress and lo the nation. Why, I have read that paper again and again, and I never can peruse it wilhout thinking ol diplomacy and the name of Talleyrand, Talleyrand, perpetually recurring. It seems have been written in the spirit of an accommodating soul, who, being determined to have fair weather in nry was equally ready to cry out, Good Lord, good devdV Are you for mlernid improvements? You may extract from the message texts enough to support your opinion Are you against them The message supplies you with abundant authority to counteuance your views. Do you think that a long and uninterrupted current of concurring decisions ought to settle the question of a controverted power? So the authors of the messag ffect lo But ought any precedents, however numerous, to he allowed to establish a doubtful- power? The igrccs with him who thinks not, 1 cannot read this singular document without thinking of Talleyrand.

That remarkable person was one of the most eminent and fortunate men of the French Revolution. Prior to its ci mmennemrnt he held a Bishoprick under the ill-fated Louis the Sixteenth. When that great political storm showed itself above the horizon, he saw which wav the wiud wa going to blow, and he trimmed bis sails accor dingly. He was in the majority of the Convention of the National Assembly, and of the paily that sustained Ihe bloodv Robespierre and his cnl-tliroal successors. He belonged to the party of the consuls, the consul for life and finally the Emperor.

Whatever party was uppermost, you Would see the head of Talleyrand always high among them, never down. Like a certain dexterous animal, t.row him as yon please, head or (ail, back or belly upper- mosi, ne is always sure lo light upon Ins feet. During a great part of the period described, he was Minister of Foreign Affairs, and although totally devoid of all priueiple, no man ever surpassed him in (be adroitness of his diplo matic notes. He is now at an dvanced age, I believe. Grand Chamberlain of his Majest Charles th'e Tenth.

I have lately seen an amusing anecdote of this celebrated man, hich forces itself upon me whenever I look at Ihe Cabinet Message. TheK'ngof France, like our President towards the close of the last session of Cougress, found himself in a minority, A question arose whether, in consequence, he would dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, which resembles our House of Representatives. All France was agitated with the question. No one could solve it. At lergth they concluded to go lo cunning, sagacious old fox, Talleyrand to let them know what would be done.

1 will tell yoii what gentlemen, said he (looking verv gravely and taking a pinch of snuff) in the morning I think his Majesty will dissolve Ihe Depuliesj at noon, I have changed that npin-ion, and at nisht, I have no opinion at all. Now onrmlmg the first column of this Mes sage, one thinks that the Cabinet have a sort of an opinion in favor of Internal Improvements, with some limitations. By the time he has read tn Ihe middle of il, he concludes (hey have adopted (he opposite opinion, and when he gels (o the end of it. is perfectly persuaded they have no opinion of their own whatever. Let us glance at a few only of the reasons, il reasons they can be called, of this piebald message.

The first is, that Ihe exercise ol (he power has produced discord, and (o restore harmony (o (he National Councils it should I abandoned, or which is tantamount, the C'oi stitution must be amen led. The President is i herefore advised to throw himself into the mi- narily. Well, did (lint revive (he harmonv? Wherj the question was taken in the House of Ihe people Representatives, an obstinate ma jorily still voted for the bill, the objections in tne message nntwnnslamng. Andin Ihe Senate, Ihe Representatives of the refrac tory majority stood unmoved. But does the message mean to B'ert that no ireat measure.

It is in keeping with (he nulifylng doctrines of South Carolina, and is such principle as might be expected lo be put forth by such a cabinet. The government rf the U. Stales, at this Juncture, exhibits most re markable spectahle. It that of the majority ww iiKS nannfput tntfoittn ifthtgm- one of the of at ue of this happy Union. Their Representatives in Congress have constantly and almost unanimously supported the power, cheerfully voting for large appropriations toworks ol' internal improvement in other States.

Not one cent of the common treasure has been expended on any public road in that State. They contrihuled to the elevation of the President, under a firm conviction, produced by his deliberate acts and his solemn assertions, that he was friendly, to the power. Under such circumstances have they pot just and abundant cause of surprise, regret and mortification at the late unexpected decision? Another mode of destroying the system, a-bout which I fear I have detained you too long, which its loes have adopted, is lo assail the characters of its friends. Can you otherwise account for the spirit of animosity with which I am pursed A sentiment this morning caught my eyef iu the shape of a fourth of July toast, proposed at the celebration of that anniversary in South Carolina, by a gentleman whom I never saw, and to whom lama total slranger. With and christian benevolence unexampled, he wished that I might be driven, so far beyond the frigid regions of the Northern that all Hell could never thaw me.

Do you bclieva it wns againsl tne, Ihis feeble and frail form, tottering with age, this lump of perishing clay, that all this kindess was directed No, no, no. It was against the measure of pclicy which! have espoused, a-gainst the system which I have labored Ij uphold, that it was aimed. If I had been opposed to the tariff and internal improvements, and in favor of the South Carolina doctrine of oul-ideation, the same worthy gentleman would have wished thai I miJitbe fanned by tha soft breezes, charged with aromatic odors, that my path might be strewed with roses, and my a-bode be an earthly paradise. i I am now a private man, the humblest of the humble possessed of no office, no power, no patronage, no subsided press, no Post-office Department (o distribute its effusions no army, no official corps to chaunt my praises, and to drink, in flowing bowls, my healih and prosperity. I have nothing hut the warm affections of a portion of the people, and a fair reputation, the only inheritance derived from my father, and almost the only inheritance which 1 am desirous of transmitting to my children.

The present Chief Magistrate, has done me mhch wrong, bill I have freely forgiven him. He believed, I have no doubt, that I had done him previous wrong. Although I am unconscious of it, he had that motive for his conduct towards me. But others who have joined in the hue and cry agaiust me had no such pretext. Why then am I thus pursued, my words perverted and distorted, my acts misrepresented Why do more Ihan a hundred presses daily point their caunojj at me, and thunder forth their penis of abuse and detraction Il is not against me that is impossible.

POLITICAL. MECHANICS' FESTIVAL. EXTRACTS FROM THE SPEECH' 07 tlESRI I. LAY. Delivered at the Mechanics' Collation, in the Apollonian Garden, in the eily ot Cincinna ti, Ohio on, tlie su 01 aujusi, iw3Uv With respect to the Americun System, which commands your undivided approbation, and in regard to which you are pleased to estimate much loo highly my services, its great object is to secure the independence of our country, to augment its wealth, and to diffuse the com forts of civilization throughout soe'dy.

That object, ft has been supposed, can be best c-! complished by introducing, encouraging and protecting ihe arts among us, It may be called a svslem ofreal reciprocity, under the op eration of which one citizen, or one part of the country, ran exchange one description of the produce of labor with another citizen, or another part of the produce of It is, a system which developes, improves Mid perfects the rfipaliilitiefc of our common country, nnd'ena-i bles us to avail ourselves ol all the resources which Providence has blessed us; To the laboring classes, it is invaluable, since it increases and multiplies demands for their industry, an gives them an option of employments. II ndj power and strength to our U-nion, by new ties of interest, blending anil connecting together all its parts, and creating an interest with each in the prosperity of the whole. It secures to our own country, whose skill and enterprise, properly fostered and sustained, cannot be surpassed, those vast profit; which are made iu other countries, by the operation of converting the raw material inlo manufactured It naturalizes and creates wilhin the hosom of our country all the arts.aud mixing the farmer, manufacturer, mechanic, artist, ami those engaged in other vocations admits of those mutual exchanges, so conducive to the prosperity of all and every one, free from the perils of the sea and of war. All this it effects, whilst il nourishes end leaves a fair scope to foretgn trade. Suppose we were a nation that clad ourselves anil made all the implements necessary tociv-iliza'ipn, but did Dot produce our own bread, which we brought from foreign countries al though our own was capable of producing it, under the influence of suitable laws of protection, ought not such laws to be enacted The case supposed is not essentially different from the real state of things hich led to the adop tion ol the American Svslem.

That system has had a wonderful effect. It has ni ire than realized all the hopes of its founders. It has completely falsified all the predictions of its oppontnts. It has increased tlie wealth, and power and population of the nation. It has dimiuuhed the nnc- of arli clea of consumption, and has placed them With in the reach ol a far greater number of our people than could have' f.iund the; means to command them, if they had been manufactur ed abroad instead of at home.

If any thing could Le considered as settled, under the present constitution of our government, I Ir.d supposed that it was its authority to construct such internal improvements us maybe deemed by Congress necessary and proper to tarry into effi-cl the powers granted to it. For npar twenty-five years the power has been asserted and exeicised by the For the last fifteen years it has been often controverted in Congress, hut it has been invariably maintained in that body, by repeated decisions, pronounced after full and elaborate debate, and at intervals of time implying the greatest deliberation. Numerous laws attest the existence of the power; and no less than twenty odd hare bten passed in relation lo a single work. The power necessary lo all parts of (he Union is indispensable to the West. Without it, this section can never en joy any part of the benefit of a regulnr dis bursement of the vi.st revenues ot the united Slates.

I recollect perfectly well that, at the last great struggle for the power in 1824, Mr. P. P. Burbour, of Virginia, the princip.il champion against it, observed tn me Ihirt if it were affirmed on this occasion. (Mr.

Hemphill's sur vey bill) he should consider the question settled. And it was nffiimed. Yet wn are now told that this power can no longer be exercised, without an amendment of the constitution On lha occasion in S. Carolina to which I have already adverted, it was said that the Tariff and internal improvements are intimati lv connected, and that the death blow which it was hoped the one had receiv ed, will finally destroy the other. 1 concur in the opinion that they are intimately, if not in- disiolubly united.

Not connected together with the fraudulent intent which has been im puted, but by tbeir natura, by the tendency of each In advance the objects of thu other, and of both to augment the sum of national pros nerity. If I could believe tna txeeutive message, which was communicated to Congress, upon the applcation of the Veto to (he Maysvilln Road, reallv expressed (he opinions of (he Preident of the United Slates, in consequence of the urfurtumite relations which have ex-isle I be'wetu us. I would forbear to make any observations upon it. It has his name affixed to it, but il is nol every paper that bears the name of a distinguished peronage that hit, or expresses his opinions. We have been laic- Iv informed that tho unhappy Kins; ot hug-land, In perhaps his last illness, transmitted a paper to Parliament, Willi his rnval signature attached to it, which became an object of great curiosity.

Can any one belicre that the paper onnveyed any otlvr sentiments than those of his Maieslyi Ministers? It is impossible that the Veto message should express ihe opinions of (ha President, and I prova illy evidence derived from himself, Not luity days before the massage was sent In Congiesi he approved biH embracing appropriations to various ob jectr of internal improvement, and among oth ers to-improve tha nayigatiou of Conneaut creekr Although somewhat ainiiainted with the geography of our country.

Is it possible thai the Presiddit could conceive that a Xationtl object, and that the improvement of a ureal thoroughfare, on which the mail is transported for some eight or ten Stales and Territories, is not of National consideration? The power lo imprnve tha navigation of waler courses, no where expressty recognized in tho Constiiu. tion, is infinitely more doubtful than the establishment of mail roads, which is explicitly aulhorixtd in that instrument!

In company with the family of Mr. Rich ardi Swain, bit ion in law, bt it about lo calculation Ihe delay which would have resulted in its payment, from the appropri- alion to' the Majsville road, and it was less Ihan one week! How has it happened that i under the administration of Mr, Adams, and during every year of it, such large and liberal appropriations could be made for Internal Im- provements, without touching the fund devoted to the public debt, and that this administration should find itself baulked in its. first year? I he Veto Message proceeds to insist that the Maysville and Lexington road is not a national but a local Road, of sixty miles" in length and confined within the limits of a particular State. Il, as that document also asserts, ifie power can in no rase be exercised until it shall have been explaintd and defined by an anundmeut of the Constitution, the discrimination between national and local roads would seem to be altogether unneces sary.

hat is, or is not a Road the Message supposes may admit of controversy, and is not susceptible of precise definition. The difficulty which itsauthors imagine, gro'vs out of (heir attempt to substitute a rule. Inundid upon the ex'enl and locality of the Road, instead of the use and purpose to which it is applicable. If the road facilitates, in a considerable degree, the transportation of (he mail to a large portion of the Union, and at the same time promotes internal commerce mnng ihe several slates, and may tend to ac celerate the movement of armies anj the distribution of the munitions of war, il is of consideration, 1 ested by this the true rule, the Maysville Road a as undoubted ly National. It connects the largest body.

perhaps, of fertile land iu the Union with the navigation of Ihe Ohio and and with the canals of the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New-York. It begins on the line which divides the Stales of Ohio, nr.d Kentucky, and, of coarse, quickens trade and intercourse between them. Tested by the character of other works, for which the I resident as a Senator voted, or which were approved by him only about a monlh before he rejected (he MnyiviUe bill tha road was uudoul.le lly National. But this view of the mnlter, however satis factory it ouijht to be, is imperfect. It will he admitted thai the Cumberland road is National, It is completed no father than Zimes-ville, in the Stnte of Ohio.

Ou reaching that point two routes present themselves for its further extension, both National, and both deserving of execution. One leading north westwardly, through the stales of Ohio, Ken- lucky, Tennessee, and Alabama, to Ihe Cull of Mexico, Both have teen long contcmpla ted. Of the two, the southwestern is the most wanted, in the presenst state of populi lion, and will probably always he nf Ilia greatest use. Bui Ihe northwestern route it in progress of execution hayond Zanesville, and appropriation towards parts of it were sanctioned by Ihe President at the last session National highways can only be executed in sections, al different tunes. So the Lumber-land road was and continues to be Constructed, Of all Ihe parts nf tha southwestern route, the road ftnm Mavsville to Lexington is most needed, whether we regard the amount of! transportation and travelling upon it, or (ho which it presents in the winter and spring monthv It look my family four day lo reach Lexington from Maysville, in April.

This letter is couched ia remarkably mild and gentlemanly language. Governor Gilmer's snawr is not quite so polite.
