Can this be done. i, a ouesfion that immediately suggests itself. In answer, Ii may be said, that if Col. Sr. YIef possesses the power over Congress winch he boasts oi-a power sufficient, at thesIate session, 10 have procured d law diiectiag that every d--a rascal in Atkansas, should be hanged -fmcaping those 0ho should dare to vote against or otherwise, oppose him)-l.c must possess power to have annulled an, law ot the iand, thai would oppose bis Views, or tifwaft thc interests of Gov, IoRe, and lis few friends. ' itl thIs power in the hands of Gel. Sevicr, al4. rate 4slts are viewed IS palllc erie4ap. ces' and as such, must give place 10 Lis. reforming hand.
 the last and greatest act of which the Gol. proadly boasts, is the Ten See ton law of 1851 and B. This law re pcals former aetof Congress. hy which !hese Tea Scetiogs were put in tie hands of the peoples representatives. who on legis1ating upon them, refused 10 permit the labofs of Il portion of our e'tizehs to be vrestcd from them, b, the Iron i, grasp oi' heaftless specnlators.- his did not snlt Gov.

 For this act, does Col. Scyitr crawl l at the public hands, the highest plau4 dits; and on this hobby does he calca. late 10 ride triumphanllys over all op position.
 He may succced-but II IS 10 be hoped that there IS yet Jeff in oHr couh- try, virtue and patriotic love of freedom sufficient, to arrest his onward course of domfaeerfg power, and prevent hia from an exercise oflhat iJ2nence which wlllhang ID all his opponents.
 Before the Circular IS dismissed, il may be proper to notice the frightlul dreamslhat aiarmed the imagination of the heroic Cel.-dreams in which he saw pistols, daggers, biudgeons, gc. aiming 7t his virtnons heart, aud threatening to break his important hood, itz,.-es .ssii q Trean1,and on so tindiae if, he eo7nuge- o7tsLg determines 10 confront ail dangcrs that may hereafter assail him-in dream.
 In conclusion, t must be admitted, that the Gel. has brought with hin, from inc head quarters Of accommodate ing seribhlers, to. vii: inc ri, of Wash ington, neat, wellwrtten, Circular; and, although an exotic, 1t proves more creditabIe to him than any thing he could have produced, even with his usual assistants.
