cipies III the conduct Of the Consttutonalist
The majority Of our common fellow citizens
welding tue powers, and the constitutional
powers too, of the general goveTnment, are
the ''tyrants," whose 'feet are on our necks,
whose act. are hanging like miilstones
about US, weighing us down to poverty and
| ruin! The Constitutionahst has rather more
courage than some of his coadjutors in the
antI-tariff strife, who are shrinking from the
! fury of the storm, which their violent passions
have excited. 1t is just coming forward as
others cool. 1T is growing hot Does the
Constitutionalist thus recklessly rear the
standard of rebellion? Does it also stand up
| with the mad caps ofCarolina, and offer their
| fellow citizens of the rest of the Union, the
"hand Of cordial separation, without an emo
ton Of reluctance or gnef?" Has it also
counted the cost of separation. as wei as
what the Union is worthe The Constitution
| alist will hardly forget. that it assisted once
before, 10 bring Georgia in sight of the bayo-
nets of the Union. Does it intend similar
experiment? Although Mr.. Forsyth is again
in Congress, he may not. as successfully,
warl of the danger a second time. The
Constituiionalist and its coad tutors may rest
! assured, that raise the STANDARD. of rebellion
| when they will, it wi be Indignantly struck
down by thousands of native Soathrons, aad
those who dared to rally beneath its bloody
sign, sacrificed to the just fury of their insult
ed country
We have never deemed it respectful, or e.
ven decent, to throw before the Public any
aRimadverslons of ours, on questions pend
ing before either House of Congress, which
in the remotest degree affected us personally.
We have hahituaiy and studiously ahstajned
from any such interference As might have the
appearance even of being impairment. We
shall do SO still. But, in reference to the pro-
posed subscription to valuable and highly
important national work which we have IN
dertakeH, consider it a duty, both to our
selves and to the Senate, when the subject
is disposed of, to make such statements Of
facts as may enable the public properly to
appreciate the value of the exaggerated and
ridiculous statements upon the subject which
have appeared of late in the Government
Oificial''-a title to which, by the way, the
print ia question will not, from all appear
ances. have any title long, little as it has ev-

Presidential appointments md Nominations.
1t is said thatthe President has at length broke
ground, and sent to the Senate some nomi-
nations of those obnoxious appointments
made by virtue of his sovereign wiil and plea
sure, daring the recess Among others, we
are informed that he Of the New York En-
quirer, Major Mordecai Moses Mannassah
Noah, has been introduced to that body, for
a confirmation of his appointment as survey
or of that port, He is put forward. we sup
pose, as foTiorn hope, or rather a ram
caught in thctet, to stand the fiery brunt
of the first onset, that Isaac may be saved,
and the heaven born Amos enjoy sentiment
tai felicity and three thousand year, 10 the
bosom of his family. We shah soon learn,
therefore, whether this second Moses is des
tined to reach the promised land, or if, after
having labored to the top of Mount Pisgah
and enjoyed more than a glimpse of the
sweets OF office, he is to fall back, as Senator
Benton says, to the ranks of private life. OF
all such 1t may be said, that when they do
fall--they fall, like a congenial spirit of old,
to rise no more.
The conduct of the President in reference
to these appointments and nominations, is a
virtual acknowledgment of that gross abuse
OF power with which he Justly stands charged
before the nation. 1t amounts to conviction
upon bis own confession. He has held back
the nomination of officers appointed Sax ard
nine months ago, until nearly two months of
the session have passed away He has shrank
from the duty oisubmitting his own acts to
the judgment of tribunal, maierity of
which are his political friends. Whence this
delay, this reluctance TO meet the question
before tribunal from which he might hope
the most favorable and partial construction of
has conduct Is it not obviously the hesitation
OF conscious guilt the conduct of man who
knows, by the most uneriing of all monitors
hls conscience--that neither his motives nor
hls actions viii bear the light of day? Let
the event be as it may III regard to these nom.
lnations-for it is impossible to say what may
be the effect OF party management and the
influence ofparty spirit; but even if the fears
OF the President should prove not to be JUST
he'd by the event-yet the very existence of
these fears. so glaringly manifested by tbs
indecent and unprecedented delay, establish
the fact. stranuiv 4,,,oor ..or, Ill.
