GOVERNOR JACKSON.

Mr.. WHrTMaN's resolution for instituting an
enquiry into Gov. Jackson's conduct deserves
very high commentator. With firm and Dig
nitied independence, he appears determined to
meet, At the threshold, every attempt at inno-
vation upon constitutional rights, or encroach-
rnent beyond legitimate powers. And notwith.
standing the distinguished character and emin-
ent services of Gen. jackson, Mr. w. is unawed
bv circumstances, and resolute in the discharge
70 his popularity. Among his constituents, he
indeed has nothing TO fear but southern re-
rublicanism, 10 which some northern members
bow, openly opposes all scrutiny, and would ST.
lence all enquiry upon this subject.

."Without remarl1iDg at present upon the ex-
pcdIency OF this measure, which certainly there
is mnch room 10 doubt, there is an objection at
the threshold, which in the opinion of many of
the most enlightened friends of the constitution,
places decisive barrier TO any works of the
klnd.-The constitution of the United States was
formed for purposes of national concern, and for
objects Of general interest, and not TO provide
for objects of purely sectional interest. On this
principle depends the true construction Of this
Instrumentation every purpose of a general
nature, and in which the welfare of the union,
as such, is concerned, the constitution is emit
tied to a liberal construction. Bnt for objects
which are local, and limited in their scope to
particular states or to one or two contiguous
states, the powers Of the states were, before the
formation Of the union, and still are, fully COM
petent, and for these objects no general powe rs
were granted to the national government The
report of the committee has not reached us, but
there is an intmation in the bill ITSELF that the
authority for this measure is claimed under the
grant of power TO regulate commerce aud to
provide for the military defence. But it cannot
be supposed that any such means of regulating
commerce were intended by the powers of the
constitution, nor can it be seriously pretended
that any such works as come within the design
of the present bill will form part of the prope r
military defence of the country"

We find on looking over the names Of the
Councillors, Senators and Representatives, that
great change has taken place in the members
composing the separate branches ofcovernment.
The inference which may most naturally be
drawn from this fact, is, that the proceedings Of
the last government, both in the executive and
legislative departments, were not satisfactory
70 the people. Nothing can give US better assu-
rance Of the stability Of our republican institu-
lions, than the circumstance herein illustrated,
Of the vigilance. with which the great body of
our citizens watch the proceedings of govern
ment, and the promptness with which they OK
press their appreciation or disapprobation of men
and measures.
The change in the executive department, will
particularly have an effect upon those members
who have been permitted TO remain with their
families during this incement season, bv bring
ing home TO their bosoms. in a degree. the sem
sations those must have felt whom their good SER
vices have removed from Office.

independence Of Spanish .4msrtca. tit is
gratifying TO find that the resolutions on this
subject have passed the House of Representa-
tives with such unanimity. This hearty con-
currcnce of the Representatives of the whole
people with the Executive, places the govern
ment on strong ground, and renders less prob
able any attempt on the part of Spain, or other
powers, to call us to an account for the meas
ure.
The solicitude discovered by absent mem
hers TO record their Yeas after the vote was
taken, is worthy Of note. We believe the on
~ precedent appealed to, for admitting Their
votes, was that furnished by the Congress of
'76, 10 relation to the Declaration of our own
independence.

discriminate and fanatical invectivs on the
Chief Magistrates Of the Union which this
doughty declaimer has testified morbid ann
bitten for displaying on the floor of Congress.
The language which he employs, and the in
situations which he throws out, against the
President and Heads of Department, especial
ly against Secretary Calhoun, are worthy of
the worst libellers in the worst times of party
rancor and scurrility. Mr.. Randolph has FILL
ed large space in the publick eye for many
years; but he has been like the raven on the
summit of an oak,-higher in place than char
acter,-and he has employed bis elevation on
ly in pouring forth evil bodings and unfounded
complaints on the corruption Of the publick
servants and of the people. "We are arriv-
ed" says he, Sat that pitch of degeneracy,
when the mere lust Of power, the retention of
place and patronage can prevail not only over
every consideration of publick duty, but stife
the suggestions of personal honour, which even
the ministers of the decayed governments of
Europe have not yet entirely learnt to disre-
gard.''
Alas, poor America 1T is well for us, how
ever, that the government cannot be affected
by the but half-sane rawlings of Mr.. Randolph.

Totes for Governour.
CITY OF BOSTON.

During the last week the people of Boston
were very busy, if we may judge from their
newspapers, in making arrangements for the
Election of City officers, held on Monday last.
Not little excitement has been felt there, for
some months past, on the subject of petitioning
buildings Of a certain height; and party had
arisen previous to the State election, in favour
Of that measure, denominated, familiarly, the
Wooden-Btaldiiag party, by which a list of Sem
ators was nominated and supported to such an
exteut as to prevent choice of two out of six
Senators. This excitement appears not who'll
ly to have subsidized; for we notice nominations
for City Officers, by g Tie nsiddlimg political in
terest,' the name more recently assumed by
the new party.
Harrison Gray OTIS was nominated for May
or ia the usual manner of making nominations
IN Boston; and list of candidates for Alder
men was agreed on in the same manner. The
new party, however, chose to have their cam
didates; and they accordingly nominated
josiah Quincy, for Mayor, and list of Alder
men varying little from the other. Either Of
these two candidates, would undoubtedly well
fill the place for which they were proposed :.
and the election, it was to be presumed, would
depend very much upon the personal popular
ity OF these distinguished men. fit were left
to be decided by the people of the State, we
suspect the latter would have it.
We have not learned the result.
