LETTER II.
From Mr. Jared Sparks to the HONORABLE Joseph
Story


Words, qpords, cords In tins happy togocTacy,
as our republic has not inaptly been called, II Is
hardly matter of surprise that words should De
deemed things, and sometimes very potentiai thihSs
and that accordingly, III the absence oil reason
and argument they should be frequently ana freely
resorted TO by those having OF desiring 10 nave te
Commonwealth under their charge, in order to the
maintenance of their particular views. In con-
formity with this fundamental principle OF our sys-
tenn we find that, at this present writing there are
some two or three words phrases, that are OF at
least from their constant recurrence, are deemeato
he Of ta,ismanic power The first of these is the
word amagamation" Other and not less forInl-
dable. are the words diplomatic administration.
1t is inconceivable to those who have not reflected
upon the subject with due reference always to
that definition of the republic given above, now
GREAT is the influence of these and similar phrases.
Vet if it were to be asked what &C amalgamation,
for instance really means, it would seem dlhlcut 10
detect in its explanation, any very serious danger 10
our insttutons-any thing involving moral turpl-
tude, OF political incapacity ON the part OF those
aganst whom it is pronounced as an anathema.
1 Ama!gamation is the union for common opJect,
viz: the supporting and strengthening by all honest
. means. an administration organized in conformity
u with the constitution aud aws-of persons VINO al
previous times land other and long past questions
Uttered in opinion Thus explained, certainly ana-
a gamation does not seem to present amy very Mucous
features-nay, it would almost SEEM ou' una. s.le
contrary is affirmed to be common and imperative
oblipation that all living under government whose
measures and policy they approve, should unite IN
sustaining it, although in other matters, ana upon
other subjects they may differ In the ordinary at
fairs of life It would be deemed III the last degree
preposterous to require, that individuals combining
y for any specific object approved by all, should THINK
lust alike as to that object: and as to all others IN any

character of the nation should be made tributary and
that distinctions which time and circumstances had
produced, time and circumstances should be per-
mitted to obliterate. To this honorable and dlsn-
terested policy, the name Of g amalgamation " has
been, as it were in scorn affixed; and it is blythe
repetition of this word, and not by any attempts TO
shew any unfitness in the thing itseliany injurious
tendency-or corrupting influence in its adoption
that public prejudice is sought to be excited against
it, and against those who recommend and abide by
| it. 1t remains to be seen whether this is indeed
country more governed by words than by reason
and sound sense and whether those combine for
personal and corrupt purposes, to overthrow under
party name, honest and efficient and constit'l-
tionally elected PRESIDENT shall have greater power
over the people, (whose only interest in the qnes-
without much care who the governors are than
those who feel it their duty TO ANTE for the support
and maintenance of such president.

MISCELLANY.
SrA'TE RIGHTS.

Virginia has set OF doctrines on ehe sn'3ee, "
state rights, with which Martin Van Buren,, Of tdfe'
has hccome much in love. On his return from his
visit to Georgia, Mr.. Van Buren, addressed letter
to some gentlemen Of North Carolina, who had invl-
ted him to public dinner, IN which ne aiscoulseu'
most learnediy, in favor OF these doctrines. Inc
National Integencer has commented at some
length and, among others, makes the following re-
marks. ,r

Of which he is CITIZEN would to this day have con-
tinued to import brick from Europe to build their
houses, and send their children home to get their ed
ucation and their wives The Eag that spreads
its wings and aloft undazzeled by the glorious
beams Of heavenly light, is beautiful type of en-
lightened enterprise: the same bird, tied down to
earth, curtaled of its freedom and its natural pow
ers, is in more elevated object than the Is
norant buZZard that is perched in the cage adjoining
it. Almost so great is the contrast between what
this Government is rapidly becoming, under dis
Greet exercise of its bene6cient and selfmproving
powers, and what it will be, if Combination for
political purposes, is suffered to set its foot the
neck OF the General Government, and wrest from it
its legitimate functions.
Now, we hope to be allowed, without being deem
ed uncharitabc, to doubt the sincerity with which
man of MIR. Van Buren's intellect denies to the
General Government the power Of approprlatlng
money for any purpose, during peace abroad and at
home, but to maintain army of sallared officers,
to make show, ard collect revenue--lor what
purpose Why, for the purpose of keeping, half
dozen or dozen individuals at as many foreign
Powers maintaining garrisons at home just large
enough to fire salutes review days, and keeping
a few ships ON the look out abroad. Very certain
we are, that, if Mr.. Van Buren, were once in power
he would get back to his old ground, and abandon
his 1'new" scruples as speedily as possible. 1t IS
capital stroke for effect, to tax about the principles
/
b. does; but what we want to know is, whether these
gentlemen going to .fo,icao as the profession By
acts. Will they act upon the regenerated primer
ciples of MIR. Giless resolutions ? viii they de
nolish the Notifications, which have been erected al
so much cost will they pull down the lighthouses
discharge the whole Military Academy, put dow
manufactures by repeating the duties laid for thei
encouragement, breakup the Cumberland Road ant
starve to death the Revolutionary Pensioners
Something like this they must do, or their denunca
tons of the exercise of constructive powers (Which
applies to every benefcent power of the Govern
ment) is idle profession all, and corseanere poHaca
trick and cicaery We do not apply this of course
to those who honestly advocated the rigid construc
ton, Of the Constitution, because we are sure the
do not trace their doctrines to results by the sam
process as we d. or they would arrive at the sam
!, conclusions with US. We speak Of those who adv'
t cate the doctrine without caring for its cons'
it ouences--those who have recently, for mere part
purposes, joined in the chorus of danger OF Sta
