total subversiOn of our present system of government, and to monopoly of all pow CT in the Executive. For this purpose it has been deemed necessary to prostrale the Bank of the United States, and to place 1 the control of the public funds in the hands of the President. This was the first step. The second is, to remodel or destroy the { Senate; and the third and last, to dispense with inc Judiciary. It is believed by the cabal at Washington, that the fatal blow has been given to the bank-and the official paper is now engaged in the attempt to render the Judiciary odious. The att tacks made on the Senate not having re- 1 ceived that favor from the people that was anticipated, the project in regard to tha, body is probably postponed to more pro- pitious period. In the mean time, the Judiciary is to be assailed, and the public pulse felt in relation to it's annihilation. The Globe boldly proclaims its hostility to that department of government, and urges it's abolition as necessary to the pub lie interests. General Jackson has little more than two years yet to serve, and we presume that-these momentous and radical changes are designed to be effected within that period. From the facility with which prejudice against the bank has been exci- ted, the conspirators against public liberty have no doubt concluded that they can be equally successful in rendering the Judicia- ry and Senate unpopular. But there is one obstacle in regard to the latter which they appear to have overlooked. The Senate is the only safeguard to the smaller States, and can never be relinquished until these States desire to abandon their equal 'ty in the confederacy. The cabal will find that the small States will never con- sent to alter this feature in the Constitution, and without their concurrence it cannot be effected, except by violence.
 The Judiciary has always been regarded with favor by the people of t!lis country, and by those of every civilized and enlght- ened nation. There must be some tribunal of final resort; aud if the Supreme Court of some description. Perhaps it is inten- ded to confer the power designed to be wresied from the Supreme Court, upon the President. Such a project would be consistent with the policy which removed the custody of the public money from the bank to the hands of the Executive. But, can it be, that the editor of the Globe is SO foolish as to imagine that the people are so blind as not to perceive the tendency of his suggestions-or, that seeing, they can be induced to sanction them? We know the powerful influence of party feeling, and that, in the moment of excitement, meas ures may be approved, which subsequehi consideration must condemn-but we doubt whether it be possible SO to mislead the mind by party influence and discipline, as to induce it to approve the monstrous sug- gestions of the Globe. Rogues and other abandoned characters may, for their own safety, advocate the overthrow of all courts, and the abroga.ion of all penal laws, but it is hoped, that the number there is compar- atively few. The respectable portion of the community, being actuated by different motives, will cling to the Judiciary, State and National, as necessary to general and individual safety. Party feeling will, there- fore, be insufficient to induce them to relin- quish either. ,.
 One by one thc checks on the Executive are to be destroyed, and all under the false pretext of promoting the public interests, and securing the rights of the people. But, whatever may be the ostensible object of these reforms and Improvements, the real design is, to place all power in the hands of the President. We predict that the schcmers will not only fail in their inten- ton, but incur that odium which should al- ways attach to plotters against the rights and liberties of the people.
 Wobs and Select Meh.-As soon as any riotous proceedings which break out in such a country as ours are quelled; or rather as soon as the rioters have done their work, or become tired oft, one of which, is the usual mode by which such proceedings are brought to a close in this country, the whole community turn against the civil au- thorities, and lay the whole burlhcn of the responsibility for such excesses upon their shoulders. This is both unjust and absurd. What can three select men do, with power to arm volunteers with wooden poles, against mob of hundreds and thousands, better armed, and better prepared than themselves, and pouring forth with savage cries to the work of midnight eonfagration We can have our choice. There is bur one alterDative in this country. We can cultivate the morals of our people, and one and all agree to submit to the laws, and if so we can be governed by "select men," ] On inc other hand. if we intend to neglect
