A master mechanic of Rochester, who

THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROTEST.


Mr.. PoINDExTER rose and said he de-
sired to make the same motion in regard
to this, that he had made relative to the
original message; he moved to lay this
on the table, and would send to the
chair certain resolutions which he offer
ed as modification of his original mo-
motion, that the paper be not received,
and which he moved to print.
The resolutions were read as follows
l. Resolved, That the president, in
transmitting the paper which he did to
the senate, on the 18th instant, which
he requested to be placed onits journals
as an executive protest, against resolu-
ton passed by the senate, made a com
munication not authorized by the con-
stItutlon, nor warranted by that mutual
interchange of official duties rendered
necessary and proper between the le-
glslative ard executive departments.
9. Resolved, That the president, in
the paper above referred to assumes
powers in relation to the senate. not au-
thorized by the constitution, and calcu
lated III It's consequences to destroy that
harmony which ought to exist between
the coordinate departments of The gen
eral government; to interfere with tie
senate, in the discharge of its duties; tc
degrade it in the public opinion. and Fl
nally 10 destroy its independence, by
subjecting lis rights and duties to the de-
termination and control Of the chief ma
|gsstrate.
3. Resolved, That the communica
ton OF paper Of such a character with
the declarations that accompanied it, il
PLAIN and open breach Of the consttu
tlonal rights and privileges of the sen
ate; and that il cannot be received b,
this body, without surrender of the
Just powers conlided to it by the consti
tuition, in trust, to secure the liberty, anG
pr onote the prosperity Of these states
and which the members are bound &c
maintain under the sacred obligation:
of an oath.
4. Resolved therefore. That the pa
per be not received by the senate.

COL. RICHARD NJ. JOHNSON.

The friends of this great and good
man, this philanthropist and fearless
champion Of the peoples rights, have
resolved to hold meeting in the mason
ic temple, early in the month Of May
next, for the purpose of nominating
their favorite TO the highest office in the
Igiit of the American people, the presi-
dency Of these United States.
We hope Col. Johnson's friends thro'-
out New England will without delay,
call meetings and respond 10 this nomin-
ation.- Boston .Artisan.

meetings of the citizens be held through

obeyed. Let the workingmen in par.
lticular remember that he is now, and al
ways has been, the able champion oil
their rights, and that if he is elected, he
will use his utmost endeavors to carry
the measures which they advocate into
effect.
Let the people of the west remember
too, that it is their interest, at the pres

CHoLERA.--Wilhin the last three or four

this disease in this vicinity, among emf
grants passing through the country, and
one or two deaths; and respectable

original case of the disease, the only
one in town; but as the patient re-
