There was a mighty meeting of the peo-

prepared in the United States, held» near
Pltiladelphia, on Tuesday last, as it rally-
ing “ to support the Constitution,” and “ in
honor of the late V‘/big victory at New
Yorl—:,” a very large dclegation- from that
city being in attendaiice,bi-itiging with them
llltill‘ frigate rigged and highly fiuislied boat
called the “ Constt'tu.li0i:,” which had been
passed through the streets during the “ three
tlavs." The arrival ofthc steamboat with
this dcicgatiou on board, and the procession
that was thctt formed, are dnscribcd in
glowing '.crtu‘s. Tlic whole number cou-
gregutctl was supposed not to be less than
50,000, multittidcs attending from adjacent
parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Dela-
ware doc. Mtitiy cattle and other atiimals
liatcl been roasted whole, and tlic-re were 993
rounds of beef, 4100 ll:1lllS, as many beavcs‘
tongues, &c. utid l-5,000 loaves of bread,
with crackci's and cheese, &c. and equal
supplies of wine, llCl.‘1' and cider. This tiiay

An qfcclual remedy against the zconm in

which have been published from time to

ing experiment. In tltc first place remove
all the earth from the trutik of the tree,
lcavcing the upper roots barc——then take a
piece of bagging, or any coarse Cl0l;ll,.flll(l
wind five ‘r six times round the tree, olsuf—

ground, and fasten the llppel‘ _9d§° _““‘h 1‘
list of woolen yarn that will give Will‘ ‘he
growth of tltc trcc——and then replace the
carth again. If any worms are discovered
in removing the dirt they must be got Out
with the point of a knifc—aiid about half
a pint of slacked stone Lime applied to the
wound before putting on the cloth. It is
well known that all worms cliangc to an Au-

insect~utid this iiiillor deposits its eggs
where it is natural for it to subsist, and the

At length his opponent offcrd hini five dol-

ofthc Hotel, in the opeti street, and lecture
upon antimasonry from that time until the
setting ofthc suit. The Yankee met the
proposition at once; the money being staked

and there he sat reading antiinasonry to a
mtillitude ofboys,& now and then to it pass-

dollar and a brittle of wine if he would get
down, which he rcfusd. About noon he
was offered two dollars and a half ifhe

not dignify this paper by considering it in the

Sir, is tltcrca single power granted in the con-
stitntion which the President has not assumed
and exercised? I know of none, except that he
has not, as yet, followed the example of one of
the Kings ol England, and taken his seat among
thejudges, to control their judicial declsions.
This seems to be the only power which the Pres-
ident has not grasped, to complete the over-
throw of all other departments of tlic-govern-
meut. By the frequent and unlimited exercise
of the veto power, he has concentrated To him-
self the entire legislative authority of the coun-
try. VVe may, it is true, overrule his veto, by a
majority of two-tliirds in both Houses of Con.
gress, but who is there among‘ us, with the Blue
Boolt: in his band, exhibiting the immense pat-
ronage of the Chief Magistrate, combined with
the weight of his personal influence, tluttdoes
not see and feel the impossibility of obtaining a
union of opinion of two-thirds of Congress, a-
gainst any nioasurc which has the sanction-of the
President ? Such a triumplt never ‘has grid
never will occur in the lt-gislalive history of the
country. He has declared his intention of ap-
plying this tremendous veto power to every bill
whicli does not meet his approbation; or,in other
words, he will apply it to any bill against which
he would record his vote as :1 member of either
House of Congress? VVe are reduced to the

they must be sent to the imperial head, and he

judges of the Snpreiuc Court and the A!;torucy
Goneral to proper» such bills as may suit his
Views, in l.CCl)llical laiiguiige, and thou it-sue his
proclamation declaring that such and such laws
had been incorporated in the statute bo.»k. Un-
der the free use of the veto power, now for the
lirst titiic inr.ro;luccd into pl‘tlCI.i0G by the Presi-
dent, the legislative power of the Union has
practice, it atnounts to an absolute veto. He has
tlie power of iippointtiicut and removal from oil

one of the high attributes of the British tnon-
arch, frozn wliosc dotninion we had rescued our-
-iclvcs by the war of the revolution, in asserting
and iiialutztiuing the liberty and iudepeiidcucc ol
these States; he is Commander-in-cltief of the
army and navy, and by an assumption of power,
not delegated in the Conslitut on and laws, he
has elfticed the broad line, wisely drawn be-
tween the power which wields the physical force
ofthc country and the National Treasury. for
the obvious reason that these powers, separated.
can never be dangerous to liberty, while :1 cont-
bination of them, in the same hand. is the very
definition of military despot sm. Thus the Clitel
Magistrate arrogates to himself‘, in the last ro-
Sot'l, the legislative authority of the nation ; he
is placed by the Constitution at the head of the
military forces and the tnilitia of the United
States, when called into actual service; he is
the fountain of honor, and may distribttte ollices
and rewards at his own good will and pleasure ;
he has seized the public purse, by indirection,
which is placed by the Constitution in the liantls
of the Representatives of the People of the
States. and, I ask, what poivcr remains unappro-
priated to the Executive will, which is worth
speaking of, or worth contending for ?- . _
After some further remarks in the same spirit,
Mr. Poindextcr concluded wi.h olft-.ring the nio-
tion, "Tlltll this paper, sent. to the Senate by the
President of the Uiitted States he not received.
Mr Benton went into a labored examina-
tion of the resolutions of tile Senate, and
justified the President in the course which
he had taken in his protest. He was fol-
lowed by Mr Soutbard in opposition to the
protest, and by Mr King of Alabama in de-
fcncc of it. \Ve have not room even for a
brief sketch ofthcir remarks.
Mr Leigh rose and said, that there was
one sentiment uttered by the Senator from
Missouri, in which be perfectly concurred;
and that was the one in which he described
the soleinnity atid importance of the occa-
sion. In the presence of inv God, [contin-
ucd Mr L.] I will declare my belief, that,
on the result of the qtiestioii now before its,
will depend the fate oftltis country, and of
that Constitution under which we have the
happiness tolivc. Entertaining this senti-
ment, I will go further, and say, that there
is no qticsttoti settled so well as that ques-
tion which is decided calmly and dispassion—
ately; and that this question in particular
ought to be dispassionatcly adopted. I
feel now that I am not in a condition to
discuss the subject,witliout giving utterance
to feeling and passions, which at this mo-
reignties of this Union, and never will I do
any thing in “ derogation” of that dignity,
using the word in a sense in which the
draugbtsman of the paper before its seems
never to have understood it. \Vitli these
sentiments, sir, I moved that the Senate do
the coiisideration of the message of the
President.
Mr. Leigh addressed the Senate for ohout
two botirs. He had (in reply to Mr King
of Alabama, who had claimed for the Pros-
ident the merit of adjusting the Tariff ques
tion) just incidentally paid a compliment to
Mr Clay and Mr Letclicr, for the agency
they had in compromising the Tariff qucs
tion at the last session, when he was inter-
ted b loud ilaudits in the gallery. _

llImiday April 21.
Mr. Poindextcr having moved that the
message he not received, afterwards modi-
fied it by substituting a motion to adopt the
following resolutions :
“ Resolved, That the President, in trans-
mitting the paper which he did to the Sen-
ate, on the 17th inst. which he requested to
be placed on its journals, as an Executive
Protest against a resolution passed by the
Senate, made a communication itot author-
ized by the Constitution, nor warranted by
that mutual interchange of communications
which the discharge of oflicial dtities render
necessary and proper between the Legisla-
tive Departments of the Government.
“ Resolved, That the President, in the
paper above referred to, assumes powers in
relation to the Sctiatc not authorized by the
Constitutions, and calculated, in its conso-
qucnces, to destroy that harmony which
ought to exist between the co-ordinate De-
partments ofthe General Government; to
interfere with the Senate in the discharge of
its duties; to degrade it in the public opin-
ion; and finally, to destroy its indepen-
dence by subjecting its rights and duties to
the determinatioti and control of the Chief
Magistrate.
“ Resolved, That the communication of
a paper of such a character with the decla-
rations that accompanicd it, is a plain, and
open breach of the constitutional rights and
privileges of the Senate, and that it cannot
be received by that body, without a surren-
der of tliejust powers confided to it by the
Constitution, in trust, to secure the liberty,
and promote the prosperity of these States,
atid which the members are bound to main-
tain under the sacred obligations of an
oath.
Resolved, therefore, That the paper be
not received by the Senate.
In Senate T/Vcd7z.esday April 93.—Mr.
Clav rose and submitted the following reso-
lutions, which he hoped Mr. Poitidexter
would accept as a substitute for his, as the
variations were not material.
1. Resolved, That the Protest communi-
called to the Senate on the 17th inst. by the
President of the United States, asserts pow-
ers tis belonging to the President, which are
iticoitsistcnt with the just authority of the
twoltlouses of Congress,&. inconsis"tcnt with
the constitution ofthc United States.
tions as the constitution and laws, and the
usual course of public business, authorize
him to‘ transmit to it, yet it cannot recog-
nize any right. in him to make a formal pro-
test against votes and proceedings of the
Senate, declaring such votes and proceed-
ing to be illegal atid unconstitutional, and
requesting the Senate to enter such protest
on its journal.
3. Resolved, That the aforesaid protest is
a breach oftltc privilege ofthc Senate, and
that it be not entered on the journal.
Mr. Poindexter accepted Mr. Clay’s res-
olutions as a substitute for his.
Mr. Bibb then proposed toamend the res-
olutions by striking out all that follows the
words “ United States” in the first resolu-
tion, and itiscrt the words, “be not i°ccei-vcd.”
Mr. Kane then obtained the floor, atid “
the Senate adjourned‘.
In lite Ilause, Tuesclay, April‘ 2'2.—l‘vIr.
Cambrcleng rose to ask the titiatiitnotis con-
sctit of the House to present a memorial.
He felt assured that gentlemen would, with
one accord, grant him leave when he stated
that it was tltc petition of the Polish exiles.
Leave being unanimously granted,
Mr. C. said he took great pleasure in pre-
senting to the Representatives of a free peo-
plc, the memorial of the Polish exiles.
Driven from their native land, those pil-
grims oflilierty come to worship at our al~
tcrs. The mcmorialists are btit a small
portion of soiuc 100,000 Poles, who have
been exiled from their country. Some fcw
found refuge in Europe; but most of tlictn
were banished to Siberia. I trtist, sir, we
shall never violate tlioscrulcs of public law,
so necessary to protect the rights ofitations,
and to preserve the peace of the world,
which prohibit us from intcrfcrcing with the
political afiiairs of other coutttrics. But I
know of no national obligation to prevent
us from extending to these exiles our hospi-
tality and our sympathy. Nor can the rig-
id rules of public law restrain the friends of
l'reedom,in every land,from taking a deep
interest in the struggles ofpatriois where-
vcr they may occur. The cause of uti-
liappy Poland is intimately associated with
the cause of mankitid.
[The Speaker stated that it was not in
order to go furtlicr itito the question, than
to state the contents and object of the mc--
morial.]

cause of Poland is closely associated with
the cause ofmankind. Liberty mourns over
her fate, atid the children of every enlight-
ened land learn her story, and weep over
ltcr calamities. Ptiblic law canitot blinc’
Britiau, France and Spain, prove that a
spirit of reform is silently revolutionizing
the plan and form of ancient Governments.
\Vcstern Europe is animated with this spir-
it, and absolute mouarchies are giving way
to constitutional and representative govern-
rnts. It must be evident that the Eastern
and western portiotis of that contitictit cati-
tiot long remain in peace; the conflict be-
tween antagonist principles of government
must come on. Yes, sir, the question must
rlullcl‘ or l:Jl’L‘.1‘ be clctermincd wlictltcr all
who contend for the rights of man shall be
banislicdto our free land, or whether the
white eagle of Poland is destined to wave
tritimpliatitly over the battlements of \Var-
saw.
I am sure, Mr. Speaker, it is not neces-
sary for me to record the stiffei~iiigs of the
Polish exiles, to excite the sympathies or to
solicit the favor of the House. Tltcrc is,
there catibc, but one scntimctzt from the
Canadian to the Mexican frontier. The
voice of the nation, from tltc ocean to the
wilderness, will welcome them to our shores,
and proclaim their right to dctnaiid ottr hos-
pitality. The countrymcn ofa Kosciusko,
and of a Pulaski, will find an advocate in
the heart of every American. A debt of
gratitude can never be called. The claim
ofthc memorialist is also sustained by the
laws ofhospitality 61. the usage of iialions.
They ask for a grant ofland, that they may
end their days in peace and security. Let
us grant an asylum to these exiles, and
while they mourn over the fate of the tin-
happy land of their nativity, may they be
consoled with the reflection, that the brave
Pole can never be an exile in a land of
liberty.
It has been usual heretofore to refer mo-
morials of this character to the cotiimittee
oti Public Lands. It was my wish in this
case to ask for a Select Committee; btit I
knew the members ofthc former would coli-
tend fat‘ the honor of favorably considering
it, and I cannot deprive them of the oppor-
tunity of so doino'.
The memorial was read, ordered to be
pririted, and referred to the Committee on
Public Lands. _
Ei'ida_1/ April ‘.25.-<Tlie question under
debate was the item in the bill as follows:
“ For additional clerk hire, for the year 18-

thirty-one dollars and forty-four cents.”

“The Committee would beg leave to re-'

If any co:*.sid9ration other than duty
could influence me, I have, Mr. Chairman,
cvcry inducement to be silent oti this sub-
ject. I’ostmastcr-General Barry is fr:-.-‘

Mr. Connor wished to make’ one or two
remarks in addition to the letter that had-
been read, from the Postmaster-General, in‘
relation to extra clerk hire, which it was‘
found necessary to employ from time to’
time; arid in reply to the gentleman from‘
Kentucky, (Mr. Hardin) he begged to say
that for the last ten or twelve years the de-
partment. had been growing,aud forthe last
five years rapidly. In 1829, the aggregate
amount of receipts was about $1,700,000;
the last year about $2,000,000, and this is
ttot all. The Department performs scr-
iiear $700,000, for which they receive noth-
ing. Additional labor is necessarily requir-
ed, as the business increases in tlic Dcpa ‘-
meat; and, in confirmation of that op
