this part Of the state, with very g-ncraiex-
nressiOns of Misrepresentation. The men Ut all
narties speak OF it, uureservediy, as wanton
EXCISE Of Executive power, announcement and
Troublesome To members of the Legislature,
and extremely burdensome and expensive TO
the people. In the midst ofcOmplaints from
all ouartes, we have not heard one individual
expression in favour ofthe measure, Sc. Sc.
These are the prominent reasons for which
this measure of Gov. Yates is condemned in
this county, aud, far as we have heard, else
where. Whatever may be the sentiments ol
men on the question Ofthe electoral law, and
upon other subjects about which unreasonable
difference of opinion may exist, on this there
seems to be scarcely an exception To Inc gen
.ral feeling aud expression of Misrepresentation
Indeed those questions do not seem to be IN
VOWED in this-thcy are necessarily discon-
nected. 1t appears to be exclusively ques
tirn as TO thu improper, unless aud burdens0me
exercise of a high executive power, upon
pretence, trivia in itself, and not recognized by
the constitution. Ii is in this view that the
subject is looked at by the people: F@And the
only disposition of it by the legislature which
we have yet heard suggested, is, TO adjourn
on the first day OF the session, after an expires
sion which shall prevent the repetition of an
example which, if it should go by w'th"",
censure might lead TO consequences the most
alarming and unfortunate. -. ~

The subjoined paragraph, from the New
York Commercial Advertiser, refers To facts,
respecting which we have no certain intorma-
ton. The Executive and the Secretary of
the Navy, we are prettr sure, are not obnux-
ious TO the charge of deliberate harshness or
in Justice. The leaning Uf both the one and
the other is much more likely III be the other
way.
This relates the striking Captain from the rolls OF
Navy.
Letters received from Mnnrova (Lihera) by
the American Colonlz ton Society, speak IN
the highest terms uf the kindness exhibited
towards the emigranis by the Commander OF
the Gfanpus, Lit. john ~. Sloat, who lately
visited hat settlement, and Interested hiins.if
greatly in investigating its situation, wants,
S1c.-dnd also ofihe conduct of DIR. liulse, the

number of persons either directly or indirectly
INTERESTED IN these claims is very considerable.
We apprebend, however, that the Report in
