literally asleep.-Al was still--all was calm and

Under all these singularly favorable circun-
stances, did the first Governor Of Maine take
the chair.
How he has re- ieemcd his pledge-Whether
he has, OF has not, discharged the duties of his
office, with lnpartlality and in all fideiity-How
nc has satisfied pubic expectation-and what
answers he can n0wnIalIe TO his own conscience,
and TO MS God, are not questions of our present
inquiry-We pass on.--The calm aboYe noticed
was bat the precursor of a stOrm-This era OF
good feelings was short indeed--Faction has a.
gain uniurled its banners. Brethren of the
same political creed have dffered-quarreled--
and array themselves Ia opposition. Pwo new
and distinct parties have thus been formed from
one. Each OF these has erected its standard
and TO each of these standards rush the M
Inerous combatants, Eager to fight, and detennin-
ed TO use such weapons as the vilest of passions
can furnish.

matter of little coLsequence to the people gen
orally, which of the contending power shall
prevaIl.-fhe contest was commenced by a few
individuals, Oh each side, and solely for the ben

In former times during seasons of darkness

of Greece and Rome Did they not call tC
their councils sages and patriots, whose COO

oil the list. tits, in every view, 4 much more
tnlportaRt power than that of deciding cases,
between the United States and individuals, or
cases between two states. 1t ought, there
fore, to have preceded the grant of the latter
powers, had il been intended TO have been
conferred. All the lawyers well know, that
n specification, beginning with Il thing or per-
scn of inferior grade, excludes those which
are superior.
Al the departments OF the sencraEgovcrn-
ilent are checked and controlled b., each
other Even the supreme court itself, pow
ersu as it is, is not exempted from this con-
troll. Although, for example, it may render
a Judgment against the United States,it can
not make the money from the public treasu-
ry by an execution. Ii is prevented by that
clause of the constitution which declares that
no monies shall be drawn from the public
treasury, but III consequence of appropria-
tons made by law. In this instance, the
congress ofthc United States have an evil
dent check upon the Judiciary. The whole
instrument of the constitution abounds in
these checks, all around. They are essential

will only add, on this part OF the subject,
that although the people Of each state, are
parties TO the general government, as well as

would not authorize that firm, to construe
the contract, so as 10 bind him in his indvi-
dual character, to what amount it pleased.

is entirely analogous to the one before us.
The interest of each state, in the federal 60
vernmcnt of the union, does not permit the
administrators OF that government, to en-
croach OH the municipal rights reserved to
the several states, by the confederation. The
people of each state had right to chuse,
how far they would subject their rights. to
the control of the other citizens of America {;
and any further exercise OF power, over them,
Is by wrong and usurpation. In the extern
sion of these powers, to the injury of the Sc
veral states, neither the general government,
nor It's courts, have more right to act, finally,
upon the subject, than has the commercial
company Just mentioned.
