tatory, which Tobacco, combined with other in-
gredients, is capable of producing. ' ‘he can-,mo,,
Scotch snuff is not only destitute of line flavor
but is universally allowed to be iujuriou..; to 11,,-
hcad and stomach, and sooner or later‘ affects the
transparency and color of the skin. The c()a]'5g
black snuffs, instead of clearing and stimulatintr
the olfactory nerves, serve but to obstruct and
deaden them : and in process of time, by stop-
ping the passages, has an evident eliect upon the
speech. The Volatile ./lromulic Szrrzf/“will, by ex.
perience, be found not liable to these objections-—
'its flavor is fragrant and delightful-—the effect
pleasing and salutary—it opens and purges the
head—-sensibly stimulates the spirits, and re-
moves that drowsiness which on some occasions
will prevail in spite of our utmost efforts to bztfiie
it. By repeated experiments, it is known to be of
essential service to those who are troubled with
leng,duil, nervous head-aches, and will be found
far superior for this purpose to the Cephalic snuff.
In cases of catarrh or what is commonly called a
cold in the head, a pinch or two taken at night
on going to bed will. by moistening the mucus,
effectually remove all obstructions before morn-
ing. All those troubled with the hypochondria
or vapors_,will find in this chemical preparation a
complete antidote. All sedentary and studious
persons of either sex will find by its occasiomi
use, a cheap and cheering relief from that lassi-
tude which irrvariably accompanies a long sitting
or much reading. This snuff is well stopt in a
handsome square bottle made expressly for the
purpose, and which will be found to unite all the
advantages of a snuff Box.

NEVV-YORK LEGISLATURE.
REPORT or THE COMMITTEE on THE Gov-
r-;xNort’s MESSAGE-—CONCLUDED.
‘The resolution of the citizens of Bufi'alo,’im-
plicating the persons who are attached to the
commission for establishing the boundary line be-
tween the U. States and Canada, would appear to ,
have been /zrc/rarezl .'.~:.lez'y to con_/[rm the charge
/zreviously mode by the c~.::‘cCZ.'ti'z1c’. It was passed a
month subsequently to the speech of his excellen-
cy. and nearly eight months after the election to
which it refers. it is scarcely dealing fairly with
our common sense, to offer this resolution as
proof to substantiate the accusation, made long
before its adoption. This extraordinary paper is
couched in language nearly similar to that em-
ployed by the executive in his speech, and sounds
like its very echo. The oflicers of the general
governnren'_. are, in both, (lenominated a ‘ corps’
regularly ‘ organized’ to co_ntrol and coerce the
votes ofelectors. The meeting consisted ofsome
ten or twelve persons; the chairman Mr‘. John
Marshall, held an oflice under his excellcncy’s
adrr.lnistration ; and Oliver Forward,esq. collec-
tor for the port of Buffalo, and at the same time a
scrzaior of this state. drew up or presented this,
with other resolutions, which were adopted by the
meeting. The other resolutions alluded to, are
annexed to this report, to show how little respect
this assemblage of ten or twelve ‘ citizens,’ were
disposed to pay to the legislative branch of the_
state government, however obsequious they may
have been to the executive branch. Th! letters
and aflidaxits referred to, are marked ‘ resolutions
of the citizens of Buffalo,’ from No. 1 to No. 4-.
The conduct oftbe Judge of the U. S. for the
northern district ofthis state, and of the District
Attorneys for the northern and southern districts,
is next adverted to. With respect to Judge Skin-
ner, it is only necessary to remark, that he was
elevated to the bench, subsequently to his elec-
tion to the Senate, where he now holds his seat,
by the voice of the pehplc and the sanction of the
constitution. He is independent of the general
government, for the tenure cfhis judicial station,
and above the suspicion ofviolating his allegiance
to this state, under any circumstances.
The certificate of lsrael Ketcham, communic. -
ted by the governor, is proved to be incorrect in
all its part.» by the afiidavits of Robert Tillotson,
lglsq. and of Mr‘. ‘.\'m. lizrton, and the certilicate of
Major S. Cooper. The statcntcnt of Mr. Ketch-
am is too lfil[)l’0l)'di)lC to be credited, intlcpcndent
‘of all C0llll‘i'.(llCL(i!'}' evidence. lle certifies that
hit". lizrtori dtcl.-.tcu‘ that he wasin l\*lr.'l‘illotsort’s
cflice in April last; and there heard Mr. Tillot-
son direct a gentleman to go to certain persons
in the western district, and promise them any oil-
lices they wanted in that quarter, in the gift ofthe
general government. Is it by certificates of this
latest; nature, that the existence ol'- an organized
,ati:i zlis.":pllnc:.i c'.:t‘;7-s’ of tratiorsal r.-tlicers, is to be
raubstaritiated? \Vill the people tolerate such an
attempt to enlist their prejudices against the gov-
ernmerrt of the union? The story that ‘two men
llntl been sent from ‘.‘v"asliington last spring, to
oppo:-1e the rc-election of De VVitt Clinton, whose
t)-‘.!_.\r:hst‘:5 uere paid at VVas-hirrgton,’ is equally in-
credible; and Major (foopcr, who is designated
by Mr. ii;-tclrart. as the -.uthor of the statement
to him, :!cc:lar'cs t we whole to be a base fabrica-
tion, absolutely lhlse, aatl uithuut the least shad-
ow of l'otrndr.:ir.n.’
A per lrbiiifll the letter front Jacob Soutlrcrlantl
lisq. and the tlcuzurnerrts therein rcferretl to, will
slrtm ’tl.tt‘ tht cltmgc ugatlihl that gentleman was
unfotnrdcd. irrrlccti, the trll<:~_>;'.rtir.»rr is not only an
impcr;«;hn2cnt of his moral in-.t:gr'rty, but if true,
rsoultl have :.’Ui)ji.'Cl.t_’(l him to a heavy penalty un-
der our l:.tws. and tlisqnralilicd him from holding
any c.-{lice within this .~;tate. The person whose
aflitlavit containctl the aspersion, is a boy of eigh-
teen you-2-.-; q/‘age, who, either ignorantly or ma-
levt.-lently, r'cpresrntetl as general opinion,the idle
conversation of a few individuals whom he refused
to trains.
The ofli-.:i-.tl conduct of the Post Master Gene-
ral furnislies a prominent topic of complaint, in
the communication of his Excellency ; and one,
upon which the greatest reliance is placed by
him,in his attempt to implicate the administration
of the general government. The substance of
his Excellcncy’s charge, upon this subject, is, that
the post master general, previous and pl'cpal‘8l0'
ry to the last election of governor in this state, re-
moved several deputy post masters, because they
were the political friends of the executive, and
with a view to deter others from his support.-—
This conduct of the post master general is press-
ed with much warmth by his Excellency, as for-
nishing, when added to the charges insinuated a-
gainst the President, the Secretaries of State, of
the Treasury, and ofthe Navy, the most satisfac-
tory evidence, that the President, and the heads
of all the departments ofthe general government,
save one, were engaged in an organized conspira-
cy, against the freedom and purity of our elec-
tions. To increase the odium of that oflicer’s
conduct, his Excellency has seen fit to contrast it
with that of his predecessor, and toindulge in the
unqualified assertion, that ‘ during the able and
impartial administration ofthe prcdcttcssor of the
present post master general. those offices were
conferred without any r'efcr‘t'rrct: to state politics.’
‘From the documents communirntctl to the
committee, they are well satislietl not only Illa!
the complaints of his Excellency are wholly un-
founded. but that there is good reason to question‘
the correctness of his remark in l'L'.ldll0ll to the
former P.M.General. \Vhile, l]0W(_'V€l'9 lh6C0TI1'
mittce feel it their duty to lay before the legisla-
ture rhe evidence, to disprove the allegations of
the Governor, in this particular, they desire not
to be considered as admitting that the conduct of
the post master general would have been subject
to just censure, if he had made the selections
for those appointments from among the republi-
can citizens of this state, who are not included in
his Excellency’s denomination of ‘ friends of the
state administration.’ For although the commit-
tee are not the advocates of political intolerance,
or of injustice of any kind, they can neither stifle
nor abandon the conviction, that a just and patri-
otic administration ought to confer its favors on
tlrose,'wbo, at periods of great public embarrass-
ment, as well as of national peril, have sustained
and supported government, in preference to those
who are, and have been incess.-mt in their labors,
to stigmatize itsrnotives, and f\‘Ll'.s|.t‘alC its efforts
in the public cause. in this state at least, and in
this particular, this course, which is dictated by
justice, and would be consecrated by patriotism,
the committee regret to be obliged to say, hasnot
been pursued. »
The documents marked ‘Post~Ollice,’ from No.
1 to No. 14, relate to the removals of post-mash
ters, whose removals are complained of. [These
documents prove that the postmaster general was
not actuated by motives attributed to him, and that
the postmasters were not removed ‘on political
grounds. They also shew, that the very gentle-
man (Mr. Monncll) who first called upon the
postmaster general, on the subject of these remo-
vals, and who has been most vehement in denoun-
cing those measures, received the appointment of
postmaster, from the late postmaster general. up-
on a removal, one of the a-oo-wed causes of which
was-, that theformer incumbent, [V11-. Woodrufi, had
sufzjzortcd jlalorgan Lewis for the qfliceqf Governor.
They further shew, that Mr. Granger, the late
postmaster general, had been in the habit of en-
trusting to the present Governor, and the present
Chief Justice, blank commissions or warrants,
leaving the selection of the officer to their discre-
tion l ‘ These papers (says the report) will ena-
ble the legislature to estimate the justice of the
attempt on the part of his exccllency, to implicate
the conduct of the present postmaster general, by
contrasting it with that of his predecessor.’]
The certificate and affidavits, marked .r"{, B, C,
D and E, relate to the reception given to the Vice
President, last spring, upon his arrival at New-
York, from this city. This appears to have been
projected and conducted by ‘mzlitia ofliccrs,’ who
having formerly served under him, felt anxious
to exhibit a mark of their extire confidenccin his
integrity and patriotism, notwithstanding the ob-
loquy which had been heaped upon him. This
tribute of respect, paid to the Vice President by
the nrilitm oflicers, was nothing more than a volun-
tary testimonial of gratitude for public services;
the oilicors of the general government had no
considerable participation in the arrangement;
and an indiscribable obliquity of perception alone
could have discovered in it, the manifestation of a
design to corrupt the purity, or to prostrate the
independence of state goverment.
The declarations attributed to Dr. J. H. Sack-
ett, are positively denied in the letter marked 1". ;
and the certificate of Lieut. Augur, marked G,
corroborates such denial. Admitting, however,
that Dr. Sackett had used the expression ascribed
to him, it may be asked, is a declaration made at
breakfast table, in a public boarding house, aeri-
ously considered by his excellency, as proof of
the organization of the officers of the general gov-
ernment ‘ to break down the power of the state.’
The committee lament, that loose and inadver-
tent observations, are thus treasured up by the
executive, inasmuch as it furnishes some ground
for the belief, that a system ofespionage is in op-
cratlr-n, and that the movements of our citizens
are watched, and their words I‘f'.‘.H‘l’.C(l down to
their prejudice : A system, inconsistent with the
spirit of our free institutions, and subversive of all
independence of action, anti of the freedom of
speech : A system, which must inhibit social in-
tercoursc, and excite animosities, fatal alike to
our moral happiness, and [}t1il5.lCal prosperity.
Upon a careful examination of the documents
thus recapitulatcd, the committee feel confident,
that the conviction of every mind must be, that
the charge made by his exccllency against the
general administratirm and their cfiicers in this
state, has not been substantiated, and is wholly
unfounded. The committee must express their
trnfeigned regret, that his excellency has not
deemed it consistent with his ideas of respect for
the general government, to have solicited an i. v
quiry into the subject of his accusation, before a
positive charge had been preferred. The agita-
tion of the public mind, and of the national legis-
lature, relative to the admission of Missouri into
the Union, and the then approaching presidential
election, might, and in the opinion of the commit-
tee ought to have indicated to his excellency, that
the time he selected to arraign the conduct of the
national administration and of its officers, was pe-
culiarly inauspicious.
The frequency with which attempts to excite
similar alarms have been made, from the same
quarter, has proved highly prejudicial to the char-
acter ofour state, and has sullied her dignity.-—
l-lcr influence in the union has been checked; her
prosperity at home diminished ; the tranquility of
her citizens disturbed ; and the most bitter polit-
ical animosities en-ge-ncler'ed. So often the theatre
on which hostility to the general government has
been displayed, this state has, in a measure, lost
the confidence of the wise and good men ofother
states : and we regret to say, is too much regard-
ed as the focus of intrigue, around which the dis-
contented of all parties rally, and wise the stami-
ard of di.~.afl't-ction. Nothing can be gained, but
every thing is hazartled, by a policy wiriclr tends
to excite discord and discontent bntwecn the gen-
eral arrd slatc governnienis ; and the peculiar or-
ganizaic.n clout‘ republic, ten-tiers harmony be-
tween them, indispensable to their permanency.
2-ghluttral deperulence ought to ensure mutual con-
fitlence ; urrtnurrtlz-vi jealousies beget recrrmina-
tion, and ought never to be indulged. This con-
lidence between ‘the general and state govern-
ments being once destroyed, and these jealousies
once aroused, who can anticipate, without serious
apprehensions, the consequences which must en-
sue. Then, indeed, would the ‘ aspirations of
ambition’ have full scope; the fair fabric of our
liberties be prostrated; and the majesty of the
people humbled, before the sceptre of some suc-
cessful tyrant. If the hope expressed by his Ex-
cellency that ‘impartial posterity’ will applaud him.
for his ‘ conduct on this occasion,’ can afford him
any consolation, the committee feel no jvigli to
