tneu I'm 1900 IN the exerct' of them, TO a
thinker will make but little difference--for in
1896 the Jacobins had not, nor have they yet,
been able TO thew the lea(t Infringement of the
conititu.ion by either of tAefe departments, and
10 again, BY my reafoning, if the PreGdent and
Judges maintained and administered the con.
ititution, it follows that the Vice prefident and
bis party would fubvert and de(lroy it. - IF the
Prehdent and Judges proceed by certain rule,
and the Jacobins do not ike their proceedings,
they cannoe like their ,ule. And again, If
thoie proceedings are fuch as the PreGdent and
Judges BY the rule are bound to render, and 70
their mere official duty, and the Jacobins would
have no inch proceedings, they would either
have no tuch rule, or they would have the Pre-.
iident and Judges att againlt it. And if they
would have TO fuch rule, they would det2roy
it. and if they would have the officer aef againl
it, they already confder it as a nullity, or
would take one method to make it 70. In
ihort, 1t IS impoffible TO reconcile this iargon
OF Mr. JetFerion on any other principle than
this, that he and bis party are fet upon over
throwing the storm Of The Britjg g0Vernment."

THERE grows a tree at Mexico, in Soua-

plant, and dreis, as vines are done. 1t has
forty kinds of leaves, which ierve for many

On the leaves grow certain prickles, 10 itrong
