quarters, at the ‘Municipality, the military
being "entitled" to priority, before the rest
of the inhabitants. The police is, besides,
required to keep it register ofall unoccu-
pied lodgings, with their prices, for the
choice ofthe Russian officers. The quar-
tering commission is to consist of three
Russian" stafl-officers, two delegates of the
Municipality, and six Russian clerks.-
The city is moreover obliged to provide
all the Russian officers with f'umitut'e,-

The defects of the judicgitnre of the
Russian courts-marsliall open the way to
the most revolting acts of injustice ; the
judges oftliose courts, before pronouncing
sentence, are_ wont. to ask Field-Mursltal
Pasltcwitsclt, in anticipation, what punish-
ment is to be inflicted upon the intended
convict. The courts-marshal do not even
cite the accused before them, but pro-
-nounce sentence" irnmodiatcly after the
reading ofthe report by the auditor, never
deviating from the understood wishes of
the Commander irt-Chief. By such pro-
ceeding, as the Polish proverb says, ,“the
blacksmith often suffers puriisltment in-
stead of the loksmitlt.” Tltus, but recent-
ly, asecretary ofrthe finance commission,
of the name of Ryklewski, was sentenced
to hard. labor in the fortress of Bobruisk,
because hisjudges were convinced that he
was.Ryklewski, a strident of the Univer-
shy.‘ Having remained for several months
in the dungeons of the fortress, without
knowing with vthat crime he was charged,
fortunately for him, he was recognized by
an officer, an old aquaifntance of his, wlir-_,
iiiforrned of his innocence, reported the
matter to tlie”co‘mmander of the fortress.-
Ryklewski, in cosequence, was put on a
kihitka, and sent to VVa.rsaw, where Field-
Marshall Paskewitch tffered many apolo.
gies forthe mistake, after. the innocent
person’s healtbhad been forever impaired
by his undeserved treatment,
An'Ulllr.'l‘ acrofsimilarinjustice had been
comnritted on the person ofstypalltowski,
‘comptroller of the finance coiiiiiiissiun, a
citizen of'Warsaw. It rvillbe remember-
‘ ed, that after the capitulation of Warsaw,
the inhabitants were ordered to deliver up
alltheiramrs witliina certain space oftirite.

vant. on the very eve oftbe expiration of
the prescribed term, to carry the arms
to the arsenal. . The servant, unfortunate-
l_v, delayed doing it till the next morning;
Stypalkowski was accordingly: arrested,
and brought to trial. The prosecution
was conducted by a Russian auditor, who
did notltnow Polish, against a defendant

Mark the glaring discrepancy bettvecii the
professions and practice of Andrew Jackson._
Mark his present attitude as a candidate for
re-election,-«vlr.lie has pronouncedto befraught
with danger to our Institutions-—his advice to
President Monroe to “ extirpate the monster
Party,”—and yet confining all his appoint-
ments to tnembers of the most proscriptive
party ever known in this country—-his depre-
cating the appointment. of Members of Qan-
gress to office, as having a direct tendéfacy‘
‘‘ to make corruption the order of the day,”
and yet selecting more of his highest olllicers
from the Senate and the House of Represen-
tatives than all ltts predecessors since the or-
ganization oftbe Government;—ltis denoun-
clog John Quincy Adams “ for bringing the
patronage of the General Government into
conflict with the freedom of Elections,” wliilc
he bestows the executive patronage only on
men who will wield that power to promote
his own elevation to the Presidency focthe
second term.
Look at the History of his first Cabinet-—
its progress, and the causes of its dissolution.
The cry of shame, which ‘rose from. every
quarter oftbe land is not yet forgotten, nor
the 'olush yet. faded from the brow oftbe pn-
triot which kindled at the reproach brought
upon his Country by the attempt ofits Chief
Magistrate and his chosen advisers to thrust
upon society a character scathed by public
indignation. . A

long for the honour of the Courttry,) for what

the Presideitt ofone, who inightprove a dread-
ed opponent at home. V I -
Look at the persecution for opinioii’s sake
which marked the first year of this adminis-
tration. Look at the removal of more than
1400 officers. Guided by the hands ofthe
executive, and quickened by the venom of
personal hostility, the lash of prescription fell
with uridiscriminating vengeance. The veteran
of'tlte Revolution, the tried and faithful ser-
vants of the Republic, with but few excep-
tions, were ltnrled f'rom their stations, to make
room for men whose only qualifications were
subserviency to his cause. Mark ltow the
offices of the Government, the sacred trusts
of the people, have been conferred on the
slanderer ofprivnte virtue, as the reward or
party _service. .
Look at his vrtcillating policy on the sub-
ject of Internal lrriprovements—at, one time
vetoing the tnost important bills of this des-
Cl‘l|.l.l0ll-"at another, sanctioning, and again
refusing to sanction appropriatiotrs involving
the stlfsatne principle. , .
Look at. the means by which the VVcst In-
dia 'l‘t'ade was secured. See the President.
of'the United States suing, as :r httinble sup-
pliaitt at the footstool of the Br-iti§h_ Throne,
for favors which a free nation had and ought
to dentrind as 8. right. See him inviting for-
eign inlerference in our domestic disscnsions,
by avowing hiritselfthe leader ofa partv, not
the Ruler of a great and united people.’ For
the first time in the history of our diplomacy,
did the President of the United‘ States stoop
to means so low to gain 8. wratclied triumph:
Would that the page on which that transito-
tion is written might be blotted out. forever.

most extraordinary diicunient ever promulga-
ted under the sanction of the Executive of the

ous and careful attention to some of his cou-
stitntional views. ‘
. He cotnplaiiis that the Executive was not
consulted about the propriety of present ac-
tion. when for three years -he had urged
the subject; upon the corisitl.erzrtion of Coti-
‘gross. He complains that he was not ca-led
upon to furnish the project’ of a ‘B.-ink, as,
though it was it part. of his *‘ duty" to origin-
ate bills, as well as to, give or withhold his
sanction after the action. of Congress; thus
tnuking all legislation conirrtcrce and termin-
ate itr himself, and iii such {I manner and time
as he shall prescribe. Ila lays dowti a rule
of action for the Executive and his subordin-
ate officers, is lticb would soon involve the ad-
ritittistrtrtimt of the government. in general dis-
order-.‘ “Every public oflicer, who takes art
oa!h to support the (Ipnstittition, swears that
ltovtill support it as he wtdersfrrnrls it ;” thus
making the Constitution not of equal and tini-
vorsal obligation‘. but so far only as it coinci-
des with each oflicer’s individual views. The
meaning of the Constitution, with every pub-
lic oflicer as ititerprcter or jndge,woiild he in-
volved in itiextticable confusion. Nay more,
this rule of action brings every law of Con-
gress at the footjofthe President. “Then a
bill, which after having passed both Houses
of Congress, and returned without the signa-
ture of tne1‘Pres-ident. on the ground of uri-
constitutionality, shall be re-considered and
passed by a tnajortty of two thirds of both
branches of the Legislature, and thus becomes
a. law of the land, still the President is not
bound to execute that law, because it does
not conform to the Constitution as he tinder-
starids it. Nay more, be is not bound to err-
force the various laws which have been pas-
sed before his elevation to office. because they
may not be agreeable to the ‘onstitutton as
he understands it. The People of the United
States have professed to acknowledge no su-
premacy but that of the Laws ; but if the
views of the President are correct, the Exe-
cutive is clothed with a discretion, above and
beyond all law. We hold our lives, our lib-
erty and our property at the will ofotze man,
and that man, as his wltole life has provea’, a
very arbitrary one. -
We are not left to conjecture how far the
Executive will be guided by his own rule of
action. It is already a matter of'liistory.—-
lle ltas openly refused to execute the Inter-
course Law, of 1802, now on our Statute
Books, and sanctioned by Mr. Jefferson him-
self; and yet Andrew Jackson claims to be
treading in the footsteps of that illustrious
man. He has refused toexecute the long list
of treaties negotiated with the Indians, and
which the Constitution declares to be as iiiuclt
the Supreme Law of the land as that. sacred
instruriient itself. In an official conrrnunica

FELLOW CITIZENS-—Al'C you prepared to

irtgly announced for the first time by :2 Pre-
sident. of the-United States ? If not we im-
plore you to etiter your stern and solemn pro-
testagainst. them before it shall be everlast-

Monday of November next and record it there.
Speak tltrougli the Ballot Box, the only uri-
bouglit avenue to the P resident, and let your
voice be trurnpet-tortgued for liberty and the
Constitution. His doctrine, if sustained by-
l.lIe._c0lJlll.l‘y, strikes out the Judicial, as an
efficient tlepartment: in our Governnrent.—
Hcretoforo it has been recognized as the
great conservative principle that pervades
and sustains the whole ntaclrirtery of our sys-
tem. ln loooking forward to the brilliant and
glorious destinies which opened upon his vis-
tori, the hopes of the American patriot gath-
ered around this department, as the shield of
our liberties against the eiicroachments oftlre
Executive, or the violence of popular commo-
tion. _Clothed with a power “ extending to
all cases arising under the Coristitution, and
the Laws and Treaties oftlie United States,"
which the People have declared to be the Sn-
preme Law of the Land. the Judiciary has
exercised the hitherto unquestioned right of
deciding finally on till cases, in which that
Supreme Law of the land has been brought
in question. Thus far they’ have performed
their duty fearlessly and independently, and
often under circutnslances of the most pain-
ful and trying responsibility. And their de-
cisions have been utiiforrnly acquiesced in. 9-
ven where they were highly offensive to State
pride, or involved private and public ~- inter-
est to an incalculable amount. So long as
ttis continries—so long as an unconstitutional
law ‘cannot be enforced upon it citizen or a
State-so long as the States cannot encroach
iipon the General Government, or the Gene-
ral Governtnent upon the State Governmettts.
or one branch oftlte Government cannot tr
surp the powers of a. co-ordinate branch, so
long as justice holds aloft her‘ scales urtawed
or uriseduced in the midst of popular prejudi-
ct-tt,.party triumph, State strife. or National
dissattsfacttnii, so longare our liberties safe
from the arts ufa corrupt administration and
its veoal adherents. But the doctrine of the
President would shake this great centre pil-
lat‘ of our social system-—woutd wrench out
this key-stone that binds together the arch of
our Union. I t would introduce universal Nul-

Cy, which, after having been" sanctioned, ‘ by
every one of his predecessors, has been de-

Veto Message as a course of "improvident le-

who has thrown around that cause the‘
strength of his mighty arm.
Are you the friends of a system of Internal
Improvements. embracing great national ob-
jects, and requiring‘ the assistance of the na-

Are you the friends of the Constitution ?
Would you have that sacred instrument ad-

Would you guard with unsleeprng vigilance

Extract ofa letter from Andrew Scltulze, Esq.
late Governor of Pennsylv_uniu, to a gentle-
man in Philadelphia, dated
Mountoursville, Lycoming Co.
October I6, I832.
“ Notwithstanding my reluctance to‘give
my 0; inion on subjects ofeo triuch moment as
those which you and my friends and '
have submitted to my consideration, I wont
have replied to your letter imntediatoly oti it
receipt, had not personal considerations deter-
mined me to witliiiold my answer, until the
Governor's election should be over. That
event has taken place : and it cannot now, by
any one, be suspected that improper or per-.
sonal oonsiderations or feelings mingle them-
selves with, or in any way influence my opin-
ions on a subject, which, particularly at this
trrne, is of such transcendent iinpotjtance, as
the election of a suitable person, "to be the
Chief Magistrate of the United States. The
time which has elapsed since the"receipt of
your letter, has not passed tiway.without. my
having taken frequent occasion to consider its
contents, and to examine and well review the
events, upon which my op7nions have been
established. You were rightly informed-I
think I told you myself-—tliat I had twice vo-
ted for the electi_on of Gen. Jackson, tothe
liigli station which he now occupies. If he‘
had notbeen elected President, and thus lrn_d
an opportunity of showing his qualifications
and disqualifications for the station, which,
previously to his election, had been so well
and so ably fillcd—-so tnuch to the prosperity ,
of the people at home, and the establishment
of a high character for the nation abroad—[
am sure I never could have been persuaded
that it was in the power of any one man, in
this country, to do so much evil and so little
good. as has been effectetl by General Jack-
son, since. he has been elevated to the Presi-
denoyof the United States.
“ 1 saw. at the outset of his administration,
with extreme regret, "strong appearances of
his being greatly influenced by‘ men wholly
unworthy of his confideuee,an<lI greatly fear-
ed that this would cause him to act‘ upon sn
princ2ples,_as had never before been acted up-
on by,a President of t.he,‘Unite:l States. It .
was early announced, as f'rorn autborityiiltat
attachment to ltirn was to be regarded as a
virtue of the highest order. and that opposi-
tion to his will was to be treated as it sort of
petty treason. - Indications, in the earliest
days of his adininistrution, of ti determination‘
to violate his most solemn promises,-in relation
to the nun-appointment: of members of Con-
gress to office, excited the fearaof his original
fI'te_t|(lS,_ that he was violating one public prom-
ise. only to enable him. the more successfully,
to violate another. These apprehensions were
soon made certainties, and it became apparent
to the whole Union, that he was actively, at
the public expense, organising a personal par-
ty to secure his re-election, and enable. liitn,
if possible, to transmit his station, and his in.
fluence to some _t‘av_orito partisan, and thus
perpetuate a power, which in all probability -
‘would be exercised, as be has exercised it, to
_:.he great danger of the liberties of the Poo-. i
