All history warns us that such are the re-\
ouIar gradatOns by which the Liberties of
mankind have been successfully assailed 81
overcome. They seldom fall by one grand
conn de main, on the first assault. The
rampdrt of written constitutions IS seldom
oyerleaped at the first effort, rs Remus O.
,erleaped the mimic walls of his brother
Romulus, at the rude foundation OF Rome.
II is more usual and practicable TO APP
proach il by gradual undermining; or by
taking sufficient distance, and planting q
stile oiprccedent two feet high, then four,
six. eight, ten, until tho assailants reach
and surnouut the wall; enter the fortress;
and carry even the Citadel itself
The Usual process is for combination,
uadcr some uame or other, to rally around
some popular l,qder, usually one dazzling
the multitude with military fame; set him
up for their head TO atSwer their own pur-
poses; seize the governqent, aud gradual
iy demoiish, one after an0her, the last land
marks of constitutional lberty; and then
taunt the slaves by telling th,m to 90 ex-
ercise the right of rebellion, aPd rescue

not. your chains can be riyeted no closer!
The only redeeming feature in this tour
ye..r's despotsm ofthe majority, is the right
of impeaching the President, 70 which we
are pointed as a relief from our CHAINS.
That is TO say, go put the majority down II
you can; for never Until then could you
lmpeach their President, If there we're
cause.
Was ever the miracle achieved Of Indu'
eng a majority, in the spring tide OF sue
cess, TO impeach themselves, III the person
Of their leader, for deeds of despotism done
to accommodate themselves and their
fricnds1 Impeachment, indeed!
No, SIR, instead of domInent partys
such as the present triumphant comblna-
ton, impeachlng their President, the as
tonishng scene at this moment exhibited
in this body shows the mpossIbllty otthat
being the appropriate preventive against
the abuse of power by the Executive

had an opportunity of shooting condor;
II was so satiated with It's repast on the
carcass of a horse, as to suffer me to APP
proach within pistol shot before It extend
ed ITS enormous wings to take fight, which
was TO me tho signal of fire, and having
loaded with an ample charge Of pellets, my
ann proved eilectual ard fatal. What a
formidable monster did behold in the ra-
vine beneath me, screaming and AappIng
in the last convulsive struggles Of life! Il
may be difficult to believe that the most
gigantic animal which nhabIts the earth or
the ocean can be equaled IN size by a ten
ant of the air, and those persons who have
never seen a larger bird than our mountain
eagle, will probably read With astonlsh-
ment of species Of that same bird, m the
southern hemisphere, being so large aud
so strong as TO seize an OK with It's talons
and lift il into the AIR, whence It lets II fall
to the ground, IN order to kali It and prey
upon It's carcass But this establishment
must, in great degree, subslde, when the
dimensions of the bird are taken into con.
