This, of course, opens the door to the most limitless extravagance and corruption is antagonistic to all the principles heretofore recognized by the democratic, party in relation to the powers of Congress upon the subject, and as ratified repeate...dly by the great body of the people at the general elections. It recognizes, however, one principle which is sound, and the right application of which, free from political objections, will form the mode by which the object may be realized. The public lands, which constitute the domain of the United States, present the means of constructing the road. Those lands are of vast extent, and valuable according to fertility and situa- tion.
