COLONEL CROCKETT.

Yesterday, about ? o'clock, the Hon. DAVID CROCKETT visited the Exchange, at- tended by vast eonGeurse of our citizens. On lis being invited to the east front of the Exchange, he was received with the well come cheers of the assembled multitude. He thcn addressed the people in his own pe- cnliaf and happy manner, to the following effect:
 Friends ard Fellow Citizens-l hate to thank you in the first place, for the very kind reception you have given me; and Ill the second place shall say a few words about the conduct of the government. Eentlemen--I have known Andrew Jackson for long time: 1 have fought by his side; and at that lime he was an honest man, and, 1 think, had strong mind. But lie is in the hands Of men of bad gI'ii, who have no object Lat their own aggrandize- ment. During the last administration, a hue and cry was made against 1t for is ex- travaganee aud waste of the public money. 1t was therefore determined to have a more economical government, and for this pur- pose. we elected Andrew Jackson to be President of the United States. Well. 1 gentlemen, said he Colonel, with his usual good natured smile, this economical govern ment has increased cur annual expenditure nine millions q doitars! Cheers.
 Gentlemen--Seven months age, this was the most doarishlng country ill tie world. Look at it now; and what do you see ?-- You lohoId your commerce suspended; your laborers wandering about for employ ment; your mechanics starving; and above all you see the hest currency in the world deranged! And, ge.stlemer, what is this for? To gratify the will of a superannuated old man < man whose popularity, like the lightning of heaven, blasts and withers all that come within his influence. His lead- ing object ,n all the mischief he has done, has been to destroy the best monied inst- tuition on earth. But. gentlemen, will you submit to this experiment!, (Cries of ne yer, neyer9 Gentlemen, l am obliged to you for your kind reception, and for your attention to what 1 have now said.
 lie then bowed, and retired Mitlnn the exchange, amidst the plaudiis of highly gfatlEed assenblage of his fellow citizens. l He was afterwards received on the west side of the building, by crowd of admir- CTS, who accompanied him to the U. $. IIo- <. tel-PoQisoa,s Buiig Rdr

THE PRESIDENTS pR0Tr,


 By the Constitution, ''the ExeculiygoI CT is vested in the President of the Ur States" From these words, and h; that he 'talSe care that the lags be
 fully executed" the President has jei1 the most extraordinary powers. h Constitution many of the States, dea words are used with regard to the duisu powers of the Governor, aho Is ha very States almost . cipher. He w
 bend that the Presidents 5 lepg arauren
 the power of the Executive 10 renen
 Secretaries, does not affect the qaesai ! tire least. in this argument he slnt the question of power to its extent, va ! taking into consideration tue justice a pediency of ths measure, and ibis 8 ! before said, Is his common method dpI ing oihis prerogatiyes. The powgdl iii3val,i1o one denies. ca rresIaaaEs reiIias Secretary at pleasure, but if he daa \ without good cause, lie acts wrongly 4 If he does so for the sake of perlorml!1 improper act, he is justly celsarable.
 very certain that in removing the deP0l4 the President did, of his own accord act contrary 10 the will of Congress-li cause that body had voted the fe-ehatst the Bank-and the Honse of RepreielH tiYes had declared the money of the tAH States to be safe in the Bank. And 2 also certain that by violently remoY' Secretary, and appointing another " al' has not yet nominatedto the seas''o'ie 7 insplted that body, and infinsed ap'a l' rights. We do not mean to say tnaiD' 7 positively broken the Constitution y !, nominating the Secfetay-lof py 4'N' ing bis right of deferrlng to the ull'l0'' Y still within the bounds of the ConsllluHVr but we mean that by the spirit and e'S' that instrument, 1t is contemPtu0@ '' unjust course of conduct towards lle s'' ate. .,
 The great reason which the f'e'"'' gives for the removal of the DepO''"7. the fact that he was elected when hD0'' be opposed to the Bank. The afga'p'i has been repeated a hundred 'n''' <, every document which has issued lf0'l .e l'f every where It IS ai'' ." :. cient.
