THE UNIFIED STATES SENATE

The avowed opinions of the Tory fac
portant branch Of our national government
is to be sacrificed, if they obtain the as
tendency. The repeated denunciations
that have fallen from the lips of the Presi-
dent himself, against this body, and the
alarming doctrines for the first time avow-
ed in bis protest, show that the war has
actually been begun, and the fate of To
ryism in our country is to determine, whe
Their we are to be overborne by anarchy
and despotism. Why is it that these de-
signs are harbored. are these threats thrown
out, by the supporters Of the administra
ton ? Do they desire consolidation Of
State sovereignties into one general sys-
tenn, and to have the power and resources
of the country blended into one common
mass, and the whole placed at the dispo-
sal of a single man, or body of men P
Such would be the effect of destroying the
Senate. 1t is the only department of our
political system, wherein the several states
meet on equal terms, by virtue of direct
and equal representation.
This arrangement was made, in the a
doption Of our constitution. because each
State was considered sovereign in its Sc
parate capacity containing within itself
all the ingredients of sovereignty and in
dependence. A part of the rights which
each state originally possessed, were sur
rendered up when they became members
Of the social compact. Other important
rights they retained, among which, were
the right of equal representation ia the
Senate, and an equal participation IN the
executive counseis. la this point OF view,
our State is of as much Importance as N.
York or any of the larger States, and shares
equally with them IN the privileges oil soy
eregnty and independence.
| Connecticut has her two senators in
| Congress, and N. York her two n York
has forty members in the House Of Repre-
sentatlves, and Connecticut six. Destroy
the equal representation OF the States In
the Senate, which now guarantees to US
the immunities we enjoy, and we throw
ourselves at the mercy of some popular
Header in one Of the largest States, at the
expense Of all we now hold valuable and
dear in liberty and independence. Be
sides. every check to executive misrule IS
taken away, with the destruction OF the
Senate. 1t is now the only conservative
power under our political organization
lagainst executive entertainments and usur
patlons.
Let the Senate become extinct or pow
erlcss, and the President makes his OWL
, cabinet, choosing all on. foreign ministers
holds in his own hands the sole power
iItreating with foreign paiions, and come

ON REMOVALS FROM OFFICE

1 oAN REsNSf Ais NOh VT -.
The following sound paragraphs, 10 ref
erence TO the case Of the dismissed Post
master. Mr.. Mitchell in Maine, we ex.

User.
1T is now clear, FROM the facts before
the public, that this Postmaster was no

as necessary consequence. that he was
removed on some party. sinister. or sell
fish ground, the demand for which the
Postmaster general could not, or dared
not, resist. The inference. in our Judge.
ment Is irresistible. that the patronage oil
the Government, and the emoiuments of
Office, are bestowed. not for the public
benefit. but with a direct reference TO the
promotion OF party views and interests
under the influence of intriguing, merce
nary, and corrupt politicians.
"When the great question on the pow.
err of removal from office was in discussion
danger then consists in this. the President
can displacc from Office a man whose me.
rits require that he should be continued

the President can feel for such abuse OF
his power, and the restraint to operate 10

may be adopted, if the exigencies of the

country, as well as to the Postmaster &c

Fem the National Gazette.

The hope turks in our bosom that a
part Of the minority in the Senate aud
of the majority in the House of Repre-
lSentatiyes, now in session at Washing
ton, will not consider themselves as
merely SGcksoa.nlen, but representa-
tives of the true repuhlicanism and pa
trlotiSm ofthe people, and ancollared
guardians of the constitution and the
national veal. The power which has
been claimed and exercised by the ex-
lecutlve branch--the absolute indepcn-
ldencc OF congress in which that branch
has placed itself,---its open acts and
avowed maxims with regard to the dis
tribution of its patronage and the ten.
ure of public otficc,--the unlimited
control which it has assumed over tho
public revenue, the enormous abuses
in the Post Office and Land Office de-
partments-haye perverted the whole
government, and given our institutions
a new and most dangerous character
and tendency.
This session may be signalizcd by
close scrutiny into the condition of af-
fairs, manly denunciation of false
principles and practices, and general
assertion of constit utional right and
feeling, which will arrest usurpation &
intrigue throughout the country, re-
press the confidence and exortions of
all descriptions Of disumonisis, incito
the next congress TO patriotic tone and
action, and discrodit that personal idol
airy, that nsan.tcorship, now prevalent
and even ostentatious in the most alar-
ming modes and degree. Il is not to
be denied that the conduct Of the house
of Representatives, in some instances
last winter, was such, that we could
have ascribed to the majority a senti-
ment towards President Jackson, such
as is conveyed in the language of nm
obsequious Roman Senate to an EN-
peror. Tfbi Summum reruni judici-

Reform The Augusta Age announces.
that lha searchsag hand OF reform should
be applied vigorously and fearlessly TO the
Post Office Department When we first
Saw this Just declaration, we began for a
moment to imagine. that the progress Of
political evil had at last touched the hearts
of the hardest Jacksonmen with some
thing like remorse-we thought they had
become ready to acknowledge, that the
Post Office Department could be vindica-
ted no longer, and that those who had sus
tanned it the through the whole progress
of lis degeneracy were resolved 10 unite,
with others, in order to redeem il from its
present sad condition. We forgot, in
short. for the moment. that we were rea-
ding the lucubrations of the Age. We
had not to go far, however, TO convince
as Of our error, and to shew both what
the Age intended by the searching hand
of REFORM" and by the application Of that
hand TO the Post Office Department 1t
proceeds to declare that Something like
half the deputy Postmasters of this coun
try are Anti Jackson men-that the head
OF the Department never can succeed until
these men are removed from office-that
the Postmaster General should have no
Deputies in his department who are not
in his confdence-and that no fear of the
outcries of the enemies Of the administra-
ton should prevent him from removing
them. This process, then, is what the
Jackson men declare to be their meaning.
when they speak of the application of the
searching hand of reform it is nothing
more nor less than the division of the
spoils of victory" The bankruptcy Of
of the Post Office Department is nothing i:
the Illegal borrowing Of money by its chief
is nothing the multiplied and unparalleled
abuses of his administration are nothing ;
there is nothing in all this which demands
or will even admit otrrelorm.. Bat Where
an opportunity is offered Of rewarding a
friend, and punishing foe, for simple
difference Of political opinion, there IS the
golden opportunity for reformation, which
| must on no consideration be neglected.
