Re. Action succeeding Over- Action!
In physical philosophy, according to
Lord Bacon, "Action and Re- Action
are always equal-and in contrary d.
rections.
In the philosophy of parties, SINH.
lar maxim may be laid down, thai
"ovRR-action always produces RE-ac-
tion."-The Illustrations are to be
found strewed in the history Of The last
twelve months, and darkly Swallowed
in coming events. First, the U. S.
Bank Ovsr-acted its part--over.strain
ed its efforts 10 obtain renewal of its
charter -bribed the Press, and extend.
ed its loans to Members Of Congress-
No sooner were these events made
known, than reaction took place 10
public sentiment. What was objec.
,ionable before, on account Of the vic.
lalion Of the Constitution, became still
more obnoxious, by the very means
which il employed for its continuance.
Neat, the Senate Of the U. S. Chose
"fai.hful Representatives ofthe States"
as the Governor calls Them, raised a
violent Panic against the President {;
made panic speech after panic speech !;
elici!ed panic memorial after memori-
al; iavlshed its thunders against the
PRESIDENT, and then refused him the op.
portunty ofplacing upon their records
his own defence Of himself. These
grave and reverend Seignors" over
dctedtheir part; and VIVA, is The effect |!
Re.actionl re.Gctioni Their pre-.
dlctions are all falls fled by the facts.

IN more prosperous COnuiliou' lie
panic is dissipa,ed. dstresses of
the country are to be found only in a
few paragraphs Of the newspapers or
in the Governors Message"
All this is very good philosophy, and
we must conclude that Mr.. Richie has
ovER-AcTEp himself. The Bank "BRrB-
ED THE PRESS" MIR. Richie is the last
man in the United States who ought to
have preferred such charge against any
editor, or any owner of press. He, who
said Gen. Jackson, if elected, would be
a "curse" upon the country, and finding
the prediction true to the very letter,
strange as it may seem, is now defending
the measures of this very "curse,"-
"lhose who live in glass houses ought not
10 throw stones"
Mr.. Richie speaks in the highes,
terms of the Presidents message, ex-
cepting one passage-He says, eft is
one of the longest papers be has ever
delivered but we have scarcely ever
seen one with fewer faults. In truth, if
we were to specify our objections, we
would lay our fager only on that pas
sage Of the third paragraph from the
end, which prescribes as his rule for
Internal improvements on the rivers,
that Expenditures Of this character
(be) confined to places below the ports
OF entry or delivery, established by
law" We 60 against the power alto
gelher, even with this Imitation"
We 60 says he, "against the power al
together, even with this limitation"
Mr.. Richie would build no lighthouses
he would remove no obstacles to COM
merce either foreign or domestic. What
a great STATE RIGHTS man he must be.
We presume Mr.. Van Buren, entertains
the same views so far as the south may
be thought concerned-this is again GER
taihly ovRR-AcrIoN. Now we think. that
lighthouses, Notifications, and all the
improvements our harbors and rivers are
susceptible of, ought to be consi dered les
gtimate objects, and the greatest perfec-
ton possible ought to be effected, & this
is he opinion of Gen. Jackson himself.
Mr.. Richie is however in high spirits
The CAUSE he says lis gaining" and

too he OVER ACTS his part. In few
counties the people have indeed been in

wishes of Mr. Richie. He seems how
ever never once to have thought that

that the Information is erroneous"
O. We have attentively perused the
Presidents message which we have
concluded o.day; and we hope, our
readers will be equally attentive to its
details-the measures recommended,
and their special bearings upon the pub.
lie interests. The Bank and the French
Treaty, as adverted to in the message,
are Of high import to the people of this
republic. With respect TO France, the
threat, il it reaches Paris before that
Government acts upon the Treaty, no
man can suppose that that warlke and
powerful nation will act at all on the
subject. Then If the measure recon.
mended by the President is carried
into effect, WAR will be the result

to be thought of in relation to our poll.
tical institutions. Under the present
circumstances Of, this republic, we
ought not assent to any measure which
might lead to War at this time. Our
institutions are already 10 danger |; and
War, such War, lis by the message
contingently threatened, would involve
their destruction in its progress most
certainly. This we conscientiously be.
lieve. Though France has done US
wrong; yet all the probable consequent
ces, (which might flow out of such
War, ought TO be well weighed before
we plunge into it.
