Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Isacks, of Tennessee, on the Bill Proposing to Construct a National Road From Buffalo to New OrleansMr. Isaczs said: Mr. Chairman, I would on this occasion follow the example of the gentleman from Virginia, (mr. Bassoon) in declininga discussion of the constitutional power of Congress to pass this bill, were it not from a belief, that there were others who are not, likehim, prepared to deny the expediency of the measure, but who have become persuaded that Congress does not possess that power, and who will intrench them selves behind the supposed barriers of the Constitution, from whence it may be convenient to sally forth upon the position I have long occupied in these controversies. Some defence of that position - some vindication of my own course in favor of the construction of this road, on constitutional ground, will, therefore, be attempted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
