+" The senate and the house of REPRESENTATIVES
of Massachusetts have both answered the spec
of Governor Brooks The temper of their res.
pective answers may be inferred from the follow.
ing extracts,
The Senate of Massachusetts will ever rejoice
at any evidence of disposition in the national
government to resort to the principles &nd sys-
TENS which characterised the happiest periods
our country has enjoyed since the adoption of the
constitution. Among these they will be ever
disposed to consider attempts to provide for the
national debt, and to place the credit of he Uni.
ted States upon better basis than recently ex
isted; the abandonment of a system of national
security, resting on mere love of Justice. and
the adoption ofone, which has for its foundation
competent and well instructed force; the con-
sequent patronage of the naval and military es.
adjustments of our country the formation ot
respectable military depots land, in general a
liberal spirit, in relation to the endowment of in
stitutions of really permanent and national cha
racter
How different The tone Of the House Of Rebresea-
tatiUeS

adopt the federative league will be among the
last to impair its MISUNDERSTANDING surrender
ed her tull share of sovereign rights for the com.
mon good, she will also be among the last to sub.
NIT to unauthorized entertainments Whate
ed OF the operations of the national Government"
We would still indulge hope that the Rsabboint
vientS Of ambition and the bitter lessons of erberf
eHce, may teach those who have erred, to recur
20 first principles, and hereafter to give practi
cal construction to the compact, consist ent with
its original intendment Let them cultivate +" a
Knowledge of the value Of first principles, " and
learn that" avarce and ambition wage eternal
war with equal rights and public liberty" We
may then safely "presume that the government
will be administered in the true spirit of il, and
that's great and united nation may be rendered
happy under its ausp cious influence"
The exigencies of the late war, waged without
preparation, have induced compulsory conyic.
ton upon the minds of those who heretofore de.
Hounoed naval and military establishment 3. .
OF the faiiacy OF their former opinions. To be

The reports relative to the Duke of

and these rumors are only the inventions

troops composing the Royal Artillery, who
are said TO be implicated i'm plot to over

there is just as little foundation for this
