Why then, on disputed right OF autho-

be more extensive and more formidable
than those of the King of England ? lie

There Us some reasoning in tho Protest
we are bound TO admit. but it is over
whelmed by verbage and insufferahle cant.
1t is not an argument addressed to the
reason Of the Senate, but an appeal to
popular feeling II is not justice which
the Pre- sident seeks, but power; and like
mountebank at fair, vomiting yfFe TO at

wounds, boasts Of his eminent services,
whines about his sacrifices, and winds up
a lengthy yarn of dullness and bombast by
sounding tho praises of his Immaculate

what has this to do with the resolution of
the Senate ? They affirm il TO be true
the President denies it--and the last issue
to be debated, at the last advices was,

IMPRESSIONS ABROAD.

The Liverpool Standard of the 10th
May contained the recent protest of Presi-
dent Jackson. The editor, remarking upon
it, says:
II will be in the recollection of most of
our readers that the American Senate, on
the 2Sth March last. adopted the follow
ing resolution by considerable majority:
"Res0lved, That the President. in the
late executive proceeding in relation to
the public revenue, has assumed upon
himself authority and power not conferred
by the constitution and laws, but in dero,
cation of BOTH
The above gave rise TO an elaborate,
argumentative, but the angry Protest of
the President He considers the resolu-
ton as conveying, which il unqnestiona
bly, does, vote Of censure upon his con-
duct-holdiug him up to his fellow citizens
as reckless lnnovator upon the forms Of
the constitution-as an arbitrary chief
magistrate-the obstinate and infatuated
author Of the calamitIes which press upon
his country. These are serious charges,
but Mr.. Andrew Jackson not only pleads
not guilty TO them, but he also accuses
the Senate Of violating the constitution,
insulting its principal officer in his person,
and of conTlcting him without trial, and
condemning him unjustly, He according
Iy demands that his solemn protest be en-
tered upon the journals of the Senate in
defence of bis own dignity, and in yiudi-
cation Of his public conduct.
| There is in this demand, on the very
face of if, something which savors strong
| ly Of kingly authority; for Mr.. Jackson
assumes first, that he can do no wrong
and, secondly that the Senate have nc
right to express any opinion in reference
