In tho “ article
phrases arc used as follow*, in ortb lo Vlli.
•* All rhorges of war, and all oilier expell
ee* that shnll be inc urred far thr common
defence and general icdjare, ami allowed
by tho United States in Congress assembled
shnll bn defrayed out of a common treasu
ry. which shall he supplied by the several
states, iii proportion to the valuo ol all land
within each State, granted to or surveyed
for any person, as such land and the bud
dings and impinw-merits thereon shall be
stiui ited, according to such mode an the
l uited States in congress assembled, shall
from time to time direct nnd appoint.”
In the existing constitution, they make
the following part of sc< lion r* “The con-
M shall have power to lay and collect
taxis, duties, imposts and exn’nes to pay
the debts, and provide fur tho common de
fence nnd general welfare i f tlie United
States.’’
’J’his similarity in (lie use ..f these phrases
m the two gre- il federal « hart' rs, might well
he c onsidered, as remb-iing their rno iiiing
las., liali!*) to he rnisronstruod in the latter;
because ft will scarcely be said that in the
former they xm re over understood to be
ther a general grunt or povx er, "r to author
ise the requisition or application of money
by tho old congn ss to the ruinmon defi ne
and general welfare, except in the eases af
terwards I'liurm rated which explained and
limited their meaning ; and if such yxasth"
limped meaning attached to th' *»e phrasa s in
the very instnitm iit reviM'd and reino.h lied
by tho present constitution, it can never he
suppose d that wlii'ii copied into tins consti
tution, n diflerr nt meaning ought lo ho at
tached to them.
That notwithstanding this remarkable
sorrirty against misconstruction, a design
has been indicated to expound Mic e phra
se* in the constitution ho ns to destroy the
olh ■ t of the pnrti» nl n enumeration of pow
ers by which it explains nud limits them,
must have fallen under tho ol si rvalion ol
those who have attended to llm rnur«« of
public transactions. Not to multiply proofs
on this subject, it will suffice t*» nicr to
the debates in tlie Federal L'-gi-Inture, in
which arguments have on dill* rent m » i-
ions been drawn, xvi'li apparent ell’cct,
frpiti these phrases in their in .oftriitc mean
ing.
To thesn indications might he added,
without looking farther, tho official report
on manufactures by the lute aeercfnry of
the Treasury, made on the fitli uf L)c em
ber, I7!)| ; and tho report of a romrn'ttco
of Congress n\ January J797, on the pro
motion of Agriculture. In the first nfthe*»e,
it is expressly contended to h long “ to the
discretion of tho National legislature to
pronounce upon the objects which concern
the general irrlfure,hiu\ for whi'h, under
that (Inscription, an appropriation of mo
ncy is reepusite and prop' r. And thrae
seems to he no room for n <h>tibt that what
ever concerns the general intends uf learn
ing, nf agriculture of manufactures, nnd
of commerce, arc within flu-sphere of the
national councils, ns far ns ngtvds an up
phe ition nf money. ' Tho latter report
iiH.iuuies the same latitude of power in the
national count ils, and applies it to the en
couragement or agriculture, by means of a
society to be established at the s«*.:i of go
vernment. Although neither of these re
ports may have received the sanction of a
law carrying it into effect, yet, on the oth« r
hand, the extr tordim.ry doctrine contained
in both, has passed without (he slightest
positive mark of disapprobation from the
authority to which il was addressed. (Con
grtss )
Now xx bother the phrases in question be
construed to authorise every measure relat
ing to tho common ihTcucc and general wel
fare, us contended by some; or every
measure only in \v hull there might bean
application of money, as suggested by the
caution of others,t tln'cllei t must substan
tially he tho Name, in destroying the im
port and forcS of tlie particular enumera
tion of powers, which follow tl»e*« gener
al phr inch m tho coi mitt lit mu. For it is ev
ident that then' is not a Mingle power what
ever, wInch may not have soinu reformer
to tho common defence, or the general wel
fare ; nor n power of any magnitude which
iii its exercise does not involve or admit an
application of money. Tho government
theri foro vvhirh possesses power in i itlier
one or other of tlie*"' extents, is a govern
ment without the limitations formed by a
particular enumeration of povveis ; ami
consequently tho meaning and clfcrt of
this particular eiiiiincriition, is d«*8troved hv
th" exposition given to tlu-se general plira-
This roncltikion will not he efiectcd by
nn attempt to qualify the power over the
“ general welfare,’ hv refiermg it to eases
where tho general welfare, is beyond the
reach of si partite, pr visions by the indi
vidual state* ; und leaving to thoso their
jurisdictions in cas« s, to which their separ*
uto provisions umy he competent. For .as
the authority of the individual states must
in all cases no incompetent to general regu
lations operating through the vv hole, the mi
th»-rity of the United States would ho c.x-
fendeil to every object relating to the gen-
« ral vvllare, which might by any posibi'i-
ty he provid f *d l«»r by tho general authori
ty. This qualifying coiHtructi m therefore
would have little, if any tendency, to cir
cumscribe thu povvei claimed undei the
latitude of tho terms 44 general welfare ”
The true and fair construction of this ex
pression, both in the oiigiiial and existing
federal compacts, appears to the committer
too obvious to lie mistaken. In both, the
congress is authorized to pi• *v ide money for
llie common di fine*!* and general welfare.
In both, is subjoin'd to this authority, nil
enumeration ot’ thn cases, to which their
powt rs shr.ll extend. Money cannot he ap
plied to the general welfare, ntli> rvvise
than by an application ot' it to soiuu par
ticular measure conducive to the general
welfare. Whenever therefore, money has
been raised by thu general authority, and is
to he applied to a particular meusUie, a»j n s
lion arises, vv hether the particular measure
he within the enumerated authorities vesied
in Uongr**>v If it be, the money requisite
for it may bo applied to it ; if u he not, no
such application can bn made. Thin fair
am! obvious inteipret ition coincides w ith,
and is enforced by, the clause in thu Con
stitution with declares that 4 * no money
shall ho drawn from the treasury, but in
consequence of appropriation* by law
An appropriation ot money to the grm ral
welfare, would be deemed lather a iii .ckery
than an observance uf this Constitutional
injunction.
*J. Whether tho exposition «»f general
phrase* here combated, would n t. hv de
gree consolidate the Mules into one *uver-
eignty, is a question con*-enung vv Inch, the
c< inutteo cun preceive little room for d f
fen nee of oponion. 'Fo consolidate the
states into one suverignty, nothing more
ran he wanted, than to supercede their re
spective sovereignties in tin* east's icscived
to them, by extending the sovereignty ( fthe
United State* to all cases of thu “general
welfare," that is to say to ail casts ichatirer.
3 That the obvious tendency and inevi
table result of a consolidation of the states
into one sovereignty, would he, to trans-
bom the republican system of the United
States into a monarchy, is a point which
-« ems |o have been sufficiently decided by
the general sentiment vf America. In ai-
mo8l every instance of discussion, relating
to the consolidation m questieu, its ceriait
tendency to pave tho way to monarchy,
seems not to have been contested. Tl.«
prospect of such a consolidation lias form
ed the only topic of controversy . Il wck.Iu
support the position (d* the CS n ral Aaaem-
1.1 v. It may i"'t ho improper, however,
to remark tw', onsequem ea cvidontly flow
ing from nn extension of llie feder l pow
ers to every Hiilnc i falling w ithin the idea
of the 44 general welfare.
One consequence must he, tn enlarge the
sphere of discretion nllntcd to tho executive
magistrate. Even within the legislative
Iimit« properly defined by the Constitution,
the difficulty of accommodating 'egal regu
lations to a country »•» gn at in oxtent, nnd
so various in its circumstances, has been
much felt; nnd has led to occasional in
vestment* of power in the executive, which
involve perhaps as large a portion of dis
cretion, ns can he deemed consistent with
the nature of the executive trust. In pro
portion as the object* of legislative care
might be multiplied, would the time allow
ed lor each !»<• diminished, and the d.tfi«*ul-
ty of providing uniform nud pa rib ular reg
ulations f»r nil, be increased. From these
sources would noecs ir.lv ensue, a greater
latitude to the agency of that department
which is always in cxiMunec, an J which
could best mould regulations < f a general
nature, so ns to suit them to the diversity "f
particular situations. And it is in this
latitude as a supplement to the defhh'n-
cv of the laws, that the degree of preroga
tive materially con- sts.
The other consequence would hr, tlr t of
an e.\< essivo augmentation of iho offices,
honours and emolument* depending on the
ex< ru-ive will. Add to the pr< sui.t legiti
mate flock, all those of evi ry desciiptiun
which a consolidation of the states would
take from them, und turn over to tho feder
al government, nnd the patronage of the
cxt.cubvc would necessarily he as much
swelled in this case as its prerogativ e would
ho in the other.
'Ehi* disproportionate increase of prerog
ative nnd patronage must, evidently, eith
er enable the chief magistrate of the
union, by quiet means, to secure his rcelcc-
tion from lime, to time, and finally, to reg
ulate the succession as lie might please; or,
by gi' ing so frau8ceridant unimportance to
tho ofih e, would render the elections to it so
viol* nt and corrupt, that the public voice it
self might call ti r an Hereditary, in place of
an elective succession. Which ever of these
events might follow, the transformation of
the Republican system of the United States
into a monarchy, anticipated by the Gen
eral A- seiuldy from ;» consolidation of the
states into one sovereignty, would be equal
ly accomplished ; ami whether it would
bn into a rni.xt oi an absolute monarchy,
might <!cp"iid on too many contingencies
to admit of any certain foresight. So far

that our oldest and best tiied politicians
vveic, and are radieuls in their politics at
tempting far us they could foresee, to lay
the axe to the root of all useless expense,
and of all constructive usurpation ; averse
to all measures that might tempt us to en

were no fiends lo magnificent, expensive
and dazzling forms and piimuples of gov

Click Treaty—We said, (says the Rich
mond Empiirerof'Jlst ult.) a few days since,
that we were ut some loss to ascertain by
what means 44 the supplementary Article to
the Creek Treaty has been accomplished. ’
We have since learned, that Col. Benton
collected the Indians into his room ; and
that he fiankly represented to them, tint il
would not be ndrantageous to themselves
(existing circumstances all considered) to
hold land longer in Georgia. This argu
ment prevailed ; and thn Supplemental Ar
ticle was adopted. We understand, cer
tainly, that tlie Georgians have all the land ;
and that tho ratification is merely suspen
ded, to do something for the McIntosh
Parly. We trust, therefore, that this source
of litigation is dried up ; and peace restor
ed to Georgia, tho United States and the
Creeks. Wo do m t undoistond, what ar
rangement is made us tothc Creeks nnd Ala
hu ma.
Internal Improvement—We announced
in our last the arrival of our Engineer, Mr
Fulton. He enters upon the discharge of:
his duties forthwith. In consequence) of
the sickness of Mr. Lumpkin, one of the
Hoard, and one of the committee appointed
to superintend the examination oftlie coun
try in the North Western port of the state,
Mr. Fulton, has gone to Fort Lawrence on
the Flint river, to commence the ruconnois-
saneo* of the country, through which the ca
nal from that point by Macon and Milledgu-
viile will pass. We will keep our readers
constantly advised of his movements, and
of tho results of his labors.
We copy tlie following notice of the pro
ceedings of our Board of Public Works,
from a S C. paper tho “ Pioneer.”
Cor. Troup and the Canals.—Among
the in s. important objt etsofi ho present day,
is that ot Gov. Troup and the Board of In
ti mu! Improvement in the State of Gcur
giu. They contemplate uniting tho vvutors
of that State, w ith those of thn Tennessee
and Missisippi rivers. Should they succeed
in these objects, of which we have u »' ( douiit.
we venture to affirm, that Gov Troup and
his Hoard, will bo hailed with the same en
thusiasm in every section of our southern
country, that has been awarded the patri
otic Gov. (’Imton iii the Northern State*
We may perhaps h<* too zealous and sari-
guine on this subject, but in our humble
opinion, the r< nt t im pin ted Canals are not
only practicable, but will, be to Georgia what
the Elio Canal is to New York.
Tim following picture of tho condition of
the Florida Indians is distressing enough —
A ct strange to tell, tho Northern philan
thropists, who so warmly took the part of
tho Creek Indians last summer, notice d
not. Is it that the whole stock of their sym
pathy has been expended on the Creeks ?—
What has come over tho Carolina writ'

Extract from a Dispatch from Gov. Dural,
of Florida, to the Department of Indian
Affairs
“ 1 visited every spot whore any lands
were spoken ofas being good, nnd 1 can say
with truth, 1 have not seen three hundred
acres "f good land in my whole route, after
h aving th" agency. The lands on the Hig
and Litltc Wttthle-Couchu, are poor,and thb
lands on Hillsborough river within the In.
dian boundary, arc of so little value, that
them is not one Indian settlement on any
of them 1 did ju t xi.-it l*eas Creek. 1 had
mufii.'rod so much from chinking wafer alive
\\ itli insects, from Moschetos, intolerable!)' t
weather, and my horses were so reduced by
tho journey and thu swarms of horse-flies,
t at I determined to leave tint point unex
plored, having received satisfactory infor
mation thut there is hut a small tract ot
good land in ihat quarter. I never have
seen a more wretched tract of country than
that which I erten d five or six miles South
uf Chururhatty : thn sand hills rise very
high, nd the imiiaii-trail winds over an ex
tensive sand ridge, fin eight, or nine miles ;
the whole of the timber for this distance,
ns far as tho eve can survey, bus been killed
by fire ; the burnt and blackened pines
without n leaf, added to the dieary poverty
of the land, presents tho most mineral !e
und luxury prospect I over beheld. At-
terdes. ending thu southern extremity of this
ridge, 1 entered a low wet piny coiuiirv,
spotted with numerous ponds. 1 had niu< h
difficulty to pass turough them although
the season has been dry ; had much rain
have fallen, 1 never could have reached
Tampa Bay, in that direction. So low was
the wholo country, as far as the Indian
boundary extended towards Tampa Bay,
that afn r ruling all day, and until 11 o’clock
at night, in the hope (would find a drv,
spot to sleep upon, I whs compelled to take
up my lodgings on n low wet place for the
night No settlement ever can be made in
this region, and there is no lurid in it worth
