appeared, except two. One of these was started by
young gentleman, in the Tennessee Legislature very
Dung why, ] presume. He thinks, il would be bad
precedent TO efpungo-because If Senate expunge
another may re ns,ae, and on ad infnifum-A sort
OF reasoning that would not only put end 10 all le
rent OF human aetion; for law passed by Legisla
tuIe be repealed by another SO ona fence put
up by one man, may be pulled down by another. Our
l""ng wing need not fear another such outrage from
senators If this shall the reprobation il merits
rom free people-lhe other objection address
ed to ars The President elected by the people is
by cersin Senators conured up nto a hieous Bugbear
ana we are told he will eat up if d. allow these
Senators TO conroul him. Yes, the enemies of the Pre-
dent IN and out of the Senate would have believe
that to require Senators do right would destroy
the Senate Certain Senators, known enemies of tho
President, drag him to their meek tribunal upon gene
raj warrant; find him guilty Of offence unknown to
The Constitution laws; condemn him unhcard, to the
scoiis of Wings to the rideulc of foreign nations
aud the suspicious of posterty and when the Peo-
pc complain OF this outrage, which has not its equal

They will destroy the Senate " Can this be 50
Have We, the People, erected a tribunal Of

The liberty of the People is the price of tire constant
vigilance of the People. When liberties shall have

majors would destroy any and every balance in the Go
vernment, and enable them to accomplish what usurpa
lion they please, upon the rights and liberties of the
People, See Hinterbothams History Of America, Vot

Our Senator'S have made bold beginning. II is with
the People TO say whether they shall consummate the
work Of destruction.
