VI ENT OF CONGRESS,


Inc great constitutional iasvyers of the
opp 'sltion in the senate, who hoast that
they were bred up in the teieral schoo
OF construction, haye, two days in sue
cesslon, threatened the otherdepart-
ments Of the government, and the PEG
pie, that the senate shall not adjouin
TIL the Bank be re-chartered.
This is new edition of the threat Of
the Bank editor in this city last autumn
that no appropriation bill should pass,
unless recharter Of the Bank was at
tached to il as a rider.
These great constitutional lawyers are
understood 10 hold that in case the SEN
ate disagree from the house of repre-
sentatives. the popular branch is not OH
ly to bend to them, but the executive
is not authorized to interfere. and must
bend also TO such modest senate, un.
less congress happened at that session
to have been specially convened by the
executive.
In this way, not only the other pow
ers OF the government can, by this Fed.
eral construction doctrine, be set at de-
fiance - but the people be burthened
with the maintenance of the honorable
Senate here, for bank purposes. through
the dog-days and indeed, till, like a
Rump Parliament Of old, they become
the -coh and scorn Of the country.
But we in all due humility, would
submit: /
LIST. That the same reason existed to
give the president power to fix the time
'f adjournment, in case the two Hou,
'es disagreed during an ordinary SEES
non. The convenience and necessity
we're as great and urgent in one case as
he other.
Cd. That the words of the Constitu-
ion do not limit his power to snecial ca,
rs: or they would have been sin case
f disagreement between them when
onvened on extraordinary occasions,
re shall have the power.

GREAT REPUBLICAN, MEETING .-Satur-
day last was a proud dag for the Democra-
cy OF Morgan county. A memorial having
been put in circulation last week, for the
purpose Of procuring names to be forward
ed to congress, praying restoration Of the
deposits and a re-charter OF the bank of
the United States, il was thought proper to
take measures to counterfeit, as far az prac-
ticabin, the objects said memorial was in
tended to effect. A meeting Of the friends
OF the administration was therefore called
at | O'Clock on Saturday. Although a re-
port had obtained circulation in the county
that the contemplated meeting was given
up, and that none would be held, which pre-
vented many from attending who other
wise would have done so, yet a meeting irds
held, and we hazard nothing in saying that
1t was the largest assembly ever convened
in 'hls State, having for its object the dis
cussion of a political question. The court
house vas full to OVERLOOKING, and what
rendered the scence still more imposing,
was the fact, that the meeting was cons
posed most exclusively of aoorking men
OF farmers and mechanics--ihe. very bone
and sinsw of the Countryside real supS
porters Of the government. 1t is estimated
that there were $50 or 500 citizens present,
and the preamble and resolutions were a.
dopted with entire unanimiy.
The proceedings will be found below.

Reading.-When the business Of the day is
over, how many men does the evening hour
find comfortably seated in their easy chairs:
reading to themselves or to some fair friend or
happy group! In how many pleasant homes,
while the ladies are seated at their morning en-
ployments, or amusements or whatever else
they may please to call them, does some glad
creature read aloud, in voice full of music,
and marked by the sweetest emotion of young

part OF our population most qualified to draw
delight and good from reading; and when we

"Among the recent criminal convictions in

for grand larceny. The name recalls many re-

an arrest for swindlng, or charge OF picking

or three wears since, he was detected IN some
crime, and transported to Botany Bay. An
American vessel put in there; ne became &C,

himself into their confidence, made them De

persuaded them to aid him in escaping, and to
conceal him in their vessel after the escape was
effected. In return for this favor he borrowed
two hundred dollars of each of them of which,
ofcourse, they never received back farthing;
and in the course of the voyage, while firing
carelessy at mark, he lodged buckshot in
the mates eye, and deprived him for ever of the
use of it. Not long after that time, he was seen
by an American gentleman at Paris, parading

who had been on board some of the ships fitting

cles but had authorised their notares to ship
seamen at thirteen dollars per month. These

They proceeded to the shipping ofhces OF
Messrs Hallet and Guion in Butllng slip, when
the number had increased to about 100, and de-

show the list, but informed them that the sea-
men had shipped at the rates authorized 10 De
