of bruize on the breast received from a

had suddenly to rise up in my bed with
all the horrors Of immediate suffocation.
Add to these, constant pain in my
breast and a cough, great loss OF
strength and flesh, and you may conceive
that my symptoms evidently indicated al
approaching consumption. The advice
of most eminent physician was resorted
to, and afterwards second was called
in, but without giving me any relied

WAsHINeToN, May Of.

Shall we smile, or shall we frown at the
attempt of the enemies of the Republican
ascendancy in this country. to cast upon
the majority the Odium of y collection
for arlstOcratical OF mOnarchical princiI
plesf
The imputations of this sort have two diff.
ferent sources, but seem to seek a common
channel, and common object. They pro-
coed, occasionally, from those who, from
disappointed ambition, from wounded pride,
from honest conviction, from whatever mo-
tive. good or bad, have seeded from The
republican family, which they thus vii fy
by justifying their own regeneration. They
are advanced on the other hand, by the old
antagonists of repubicanism who, unable
to make any stand on their own principles,
wOud rob democracy of what belongs to
1T, and deck themselves in the borrowed
plumes.
When men tie | you that the republican
partyis "labnring to establish mOnay chy,"
the folly Is so apparent, that no mau is so
weak as to think it worthy of reply.-
But when they tel you, that the Executive
power is gradually enlarged, until an UNI
due control is given to the Executive over
the Legislative authority, the assertion de-
serves more regard, because it is not, like
the other, impossible, however improbable
1t may be. 1t is on this point we propose
to make few remarks.
A perfect acquaintance with the opera
tons of the government for ten years past,
has convinced us to our great satisfaction,
that in practice, there is no ground for the
alterations of alarm at the extent of the
Executive power in this government. It's
true. that, within that time, important mea-
sures, recommended by the Executive,
have been adopted by Congress :; but other
measu es, similarly recommended. aud {
an important character tOu, have repeated
ly failed to receive the sanction Of Con-
gress. On due consideration, it will be
found, that the great measures of the Exc
cutive. such as the embargnes, the DECLARE
ton OF war, &c. were called for by public
sentiment so strongly, thar the President,
IN proposing them to Congress, has been
little more than the organ nf the public
will, which Congress obeyed i'll adopting
them.
When we are idly told about the con-
centratiOn of all power in the hands Of fine
Executive, and Of the authority which such
pretended patronage gives him over the
deliberations of Congress, it is not worth
the trouble to demonstrate, what every one
knows, how false such allegations a,e shut
IT may be worth while to glance an eye, no
further back than to the proceedings Of the
last Congress, and see how thew sustain
the stale clamor of Executive influence
On reviewing those proceed g, we fad,
among the subjects before them which
Congress omitted to act IN, three.f ,urths
OF all those which were particularly recon-
mended TO their attention by the President
at the opening of the session. It is tue,
that the great subjects of the tariff, Of the
state OF the national currency, and of the
navy, did occupy much Of he time Of the
