obvious, is matter of feeling, and cannot be

too delicate to be made the subject OF positive

nose of his visit TO the Islands, IN the highest
degree satisfactory to them anc beneficial 10 the
country. The kindness, grace, and attentions
of his Lordship to the natives, we are assured,
have made the most favorable impression on
them of English character. The Blonde was
literally laden with stock and provisions ofeve-

Congress is, 5y 1.-THE constitution, the reprcsen-
ta,ive majesty Of the American people; that bo-
DIV speaks the Voice of the nation What then
can be said in their defence, when the men,
bers themselves disgrace the dignity OF debate
suffer private passion and maleveience to
rule over their bosonls instead Of that severe
reason whichlis or oughtto be the distinguish

words are uttered, too gross, too vulgar, to be
reiterated or repeated elsewhere; where mem
Der takes a spiiefu pleasure in degrading the
body Of which he is a member, by the exercise
of his constitutional privileges. What would
be thought of monarch who played at loot
ball with his own crown, by one oil his devoted
subjects? We will answer-Congrcss them
selves can do what all the coniederated mon
archs of Europe with all their armies cannot
do. That body may degrade It's own charac-
ter-it NAV teach us that all the visions formed
in early infancy, and which manhood delights
to dwell upon, of the superiority Of the repnh-
lie an to all other forms OF government, aie Idle
and romantic. But not cannot have such an
effect,-the corrective rests IN the hands OF the

never to enter the hall of legislation again

called party, and who know Of no ether object
than their country's prosperity--who feel a
deep, abiding, personal responsibility in the
success Of every measure that will bring about
an event so glorious and so auspicious, will re-
present the dignity Of their constituents at
Washington. This is the peculiar glory of our
republic, The constitutional provision by which
the people may amend their own errors. \ re-
public like ours can never be disgraccd unless
the people, the whole body Of the people, be-
come corrupt There is quiet, and, if we may
be allowed the expression, lethargic good sense,
that is by such repeated provocatons stuns in

ali this uproar, shrink 10 their native dimen-
sions, and find their safety only in flight.
