into the service of the United States, for any other purpose than national defence.
 The resources of the nation have been ap- piled, by the permanent annual appropriation of two hundred thousand dollars, to procure arms to be distributed among the several states, in proportion to the number of militia enrolled, in each state, for the purpose of ar ming the great body of the militia, in case of any emergency requiring it. The arms de- livered to this state have been deposited in the public arsenal, from which our militia will be furnished when necessary. The frontier which the militia of this state may be called to defend, renders highly important the equip ment off artillery, as reliance must be pla- ced on heavy ordnance, to prevent an enemy from placing his foot on our shores.
 An adequate supply of this species of ord nance, has not been furnished to this state, but it is expected that an arrangement may he made with the ordnance department of the United States, by which quantity of cannon will be obtained, as part fthe quota of arms to which this state is entitled, under the act of Congress to provide for arming the Mi litia.
 Having solemnly bound myself faithfully to discharge the duties ofthe office to which my fellow citizens have called me, ferven1ly sup picate, in the performance of these duties, the guidance of the God of our Fathers, ,and hum ply implore that His blessing may be conspic- uously displayed,a alike in the spirit with which our mutual consultations shall be conducted; ; in the wisdom of our measures in their in- fluence and effect upon the liberty, prosperity, and happiness of those, by whom we are en- trusted with authority; and in the perpetua- ton of the rich inheritance which we have de- rived from our ancestors, to the latest gene rations.

TER Sprarr is" who has effected the "eonees-
tration" here; and the restoration every where,
TO whatever extent it has been accomplished, it
needs no ghost from the grave to tell. The
person who asks the question is so full OF him,
that he has not been able to avoid writing near
" one-half Of his name when he was pretending
to peer into futurity for the splendid revelation
of the whole Of it. Nor is this said out of any
disrespect or iIi.will on our part to the honor
able Senator. 1t is distinction which, with
his views Of party concerns and discipline, he
will glory in, to be supposed to be the person
who dares to "ride the whirlwind and direct
the Storm" A humber Office, and less ad'en-
turous enterprise, more suited to our temper,
would be beneath the grasp Of his large amoi'
ton.
We are admonished, by the llateness OF the
hour, of the necessity Of abruptly closing our
remarks, for to-day. We have left the lnferen
ces from he analysis Of these editorial specnla-
tions almost altogether to our readers. We
shall pursue the subject yet little further, up
OH broader ground, with view to ascertain, 1t

ciple, will be advanced by the success of these
political projects, which are chiefly Qfn not mere
iy) personal in their objects. These are the
questions which we wish to present to the body
Of the American people.

suspicion as to her real character.-and
finally got by the whole squadron.

ing the American flag, she fred gun in

safely moored in the inner roads of Buenos
