Here is manifest, that extraordinary incon
gv,rity which is apparent in all the official
conduct of General Jackson. He vetoes inn
uroyements at one session, and al the two
following, signs bills appropriating more than
| two millions 20 improvements He pfbscrIbes
his enemies when he comes into office wher
ever he can DO 40 with any safety, and pub
| lie Justice revolving at the outrage upon re
pubIicanism. he now caUtingly pretends that
| he limits his inquiries TO the fidelity with
which an incumbent performs his duties.
We see in al this, mind unsustained upon
its own centre, devoid of fixed principles and
| rules OF action, operated upon by circum
! stances of the moment, and whfied around
and around by its passions and the varying
and conflicting counsels of favorltism.
We lay down this rs conclusien which

| is unconstitutional 10 pass one aGtiondl bcEls,
| IL Is equally so to pcss any other. IL the pow

! charter, cannot make il constitutions.
