been approved; but when these few rep- reSentatives saw fit to trifle with the wish es of their constituents, and select a man for the station, who is not the choice of the republican electors, then the evil, which before could be borne, becomes intolera- ole, and the freemen cannot and ought not to submit to it: fin so doing they cast contempt upon the nominating caucus, very well ;4the representatives acted upon their own responsibility, and if the frecmen are not disposed to support them in their act, they have nO cause of complaint, for they acted voluntarily, and without author- ity, and if they acted wrong, they alone must suffer, and not the great body of the freemen. The same argument will apply in relation to every county in the state where changes have been proposed. The assertion that the discipline of the party requires that the caucus should be support ed, sounds to us, who are somewhat tena- cious about the rights of freemen, not little singular. We have heard of discipl- ming regular troops, who have no rights of their own-have no voice in selecting their officers, and who are at best but mere tools of their commanders-but we never heard, without feelings of the strongest indigna- tion, of disciplining political parties !- What, discipline freemen Who are to be the disciplinarians Who created them dis ciplinarians? If created by the freemen, have not the freemen voluntarily become slaves ? Ifthey created themselves, ought not the freemen to arouse, and cast them from their assumed eminence? We know there are few "master spirits," in this state who talk loud about discipline, and who claim the right of acting as discipline rians but we also know that the indepen- dent electors of Connecticut are tired of their dictation, and feel disposed hereafter to be their own rulers. This is as it should be. We talk of the purity of our republi- can government in vain, so long as our elections are governed by few aspiring ofice-seckers-so long as the freedom of our elections is disputed by caucus dicta- ton.
 From the Circular to the Collectors, issued from the Treasury department, and published in this paper, it will be seen that the Presi- dent has taken that step in relation to the British Colonial Trade which the virulence of the opposition, in refusing to act upon the subject in the Senate, has forced him to take. The leaders of the opposition hoped that the measures in relation to this trade, which they foresaw the President wonld be obliged to pursue, would render him unpopular among the people; but the President, having the majesty of the laws on his side, has nothing to fear from opposition among an enlightened community.

CONGRESS-.

But little has been done in the Senate,
since our last On Thursday bill for the
relief of Ebenezer Oliver, and others, d.
rectors of an association called "the New
England Mississippi Land Company" was
considered.
Mr.. Robbins spoke briefly in favor of the
bill, and Mr.. Kane at some length against
it. The bin was laid on the table, and
made the order of the day for Monday
next.
In the House, on Wednesday, the bill
for authorizing the importation of brandy
in casks of Is gallons, passed, after consi-
derable debate Mr.. Burgess and Mr.. Pearce
voted in the affirmative. In the course of
the debate, Mr.. p. made the following re-
marks:
"Mr. Pearee said, that when the discussion took
place Yesterday on this bill and the amendment, the
warfare was.not conducted openly--it was mere
.kiruishing, but to day the House was fairly told
what the real controversy was The gentleman
from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Buchanau) had with great
csndor acknowledged that the question was ques-
ton Of comps ti,on between whiskey and brandy;
but if he could .atsfy that gentleman that the man.
ufacturers OF whskey would not Ia any manner be
sufferer, from the enactmeDts Of this oiN he pre-
sumed, the great bulk OF his objections 10 II wouid
be removed.
Mr. P. here went into an argument to shew that
the same quantity both of whiskey and brandy
would be consumed in South America, whether the
bill passed or not The class who there consumed
brandy, were parallel in ncroumstanceSto those who,
in this country, were the drinkers OF wine" fru-
gss consunere natl - while those who drank whis-
kew. were the "hewers Of wood and drawers oil
water" Nor could the gentleman show that IN
creasipg the liquor consumed by one class, woulo 81
all diminish that used by the other The trade
therefore, in one article might he facilitated with.
out inuring or Stacking the trade in the other ano
while this was the case, our merchants had ngn'
to come 10 their Government and demand TO ne
placed on an equal footing with their European
competitors. Gentlemen from beyond the noun
iaus and the Canada line, had proiessed them
selves wonderfully alarmed lest the bii, should In.
crease the danger ofsmuggling but now they hoised
their flag and Showed without disguise, that The lear
which had actuated them was in fact fear Of a
threatened interference with their own nterests.-
why had not similar dangers arisen in the case oi
wine, A smuggler would gain more by bringing
in a ousr,er cask Of wine than by n 15 gallon cssk
of tbi, detestabe alcohol, which no msn could
drink; and what could he make when he bad brought
in thi, cnsk of aquafortis! very small quantity
of it was consumed IN the country no benefit could
be obtained til the article was again exported
but the smuggler could net get The deoenture GER
tifcate because he could not give 'hs ueosn'ars
bond.

The Senate spent the greater portion Of
the sitting in conclave-the business tran
sacted with open doors was unlmportant.
iu the House of representatives, the re-
solution submitted on Saturday by Mr..
Tucker, Of South Carolina, was taken up,
and amended by himself as follows
Resolved, that the Secretary Of War be
directed to report TO this House, as nearly
as practicable, the number Of the sursi-
wing Officers OF the army, on the Continen-
Ia! tabishment, who are no, now on the
Continental Establishment and who are not
now on the pension list. Also, then names
ANA places of residence Also the name
aud rank of each officer Of the Continent
tai Army, who served to the end Of the Re-
voluiiOnary War, and who we're by the re-
solution Of Congress entitled to half pay
during life, and also. as nearly as practical
bic, the names Of the surviving officers, and
their place Of residence. Mr. Burgess, OF
Rhode Island, objected to the passage of
resolution, on the ground that it night have
the effect to delay the bill for the relief OF
the officers and soldiers Of the revolution,
and that all the necessary information that
could be obtained by the proposed enquiry,
was already in the possession OF the House,
some of which he referred to, and caused
to be read Mr. Tucker was not satisfied
with the information then before the house,
neither was MIR. Cooke, of Tennessee.

OrThe Editors Of the Paioilcket Chronicle had
the pleasure to announce in this mornings paper,
that the Patptuckei Chronicle ill be removed from

ers can obtain press of suitable dimeasions-but
in the same breath "uierly deny that IL as, or erer
has been published in Providence ~ They add, that
It is distributed from " this office" (meaning their
office in Pawtucket) which no one will deny. But
we reiterate what said in our last-that tho Paw
tucket Chronicle, und Manufacturers and AT tzans'
Advocate, is printed and published by Hugh H..
Brown and Francis Y. Care, propretors OF the
Ri de- Island American and Providence Gazette,
aud is edited by William II. Sturtevunt anil Chris

Amer icau and Gazette Office, in Providence (not
" Opposite Hodges Hotel, PawtucketO as las been
stated. And further, as the worthy Editors OF 'he
Chronicle have given us credit for discovering. " a
Mot" the existence of wh .ch they deny, We Will m
form them that we have made another discoveIy'
which perhaps may be Of some interest to their rea-
ers-and this is nothing or less than that the
Pawtucket Chronicle is second edition OF the
Rhode island American and Providence Gazette.
We are pleased to learn that the encourage
ment received by the proprietors of the Chronicle,
since its wonderful enlargement and Improvement,
is such as to warrant them in establishing press IN
Pawtucket-b but had we not the greatest confidence
in the promises Of the gentlemen, we should doubt
whether the Chronicle will again be printed III
Pawtucket, "opposhe Hodges Hotel"
A. the gentlemen have thought proper to be quite
severe IN their remarks respecting the article III our
last, and undertake to say tnat they had no l. ten
ton of deceiving the public, We would ask them to
inform us why 1t not stated, I'M previous num-
ber that the publication o, tho Chronicle ~ Prov-
deuce, was but temporary arrangement.
