TO THE WINGS OF RHODE-ISLAND.
beg each Of you to reflect, and seriously,
upon what you have depending on the August
election Of Representatives to Congress; and
then, whether any one Of you can excuse it
to himself, should Ire neglect to do all in his
power, to ensure the election Of the Wing
candidates.
Is there any one among you willing that
all the guards Of his political freedom, as pro-
yided by the Constitution of the United
States, should be destroyed?-and that the
usurpation of power by the Executive Of the
United States, by which those guards have
been trampled down and destroyed, should
be perpetuated over this country Those
guards, as you have seen, have been destroy
ed by Andrew Jackson, as Executive Of the
United States; and the usurpatiOn OF that ar
bitrary power, by which they have been de-
stroyed, is to be perpetuated in his success
sor if Van Buren, is to be that successor
For he has publicly pledged himself to tread
in the steps Of Jackson, and to follow out all
his leading principles Of fGovcrnment.
The Constitution provides, that all laws
passed by Congress in due form, and not de-
clared by the Supreme Court to be unconSti-
tutional, shall be faithfully executed by the
Executive of the United States. Now, An
drew Jackson has claimed as the Executive
a dispensing power over the laws; and to say,
whether any given law shall be executed, or
not executed.
The Constitution has declared, that the
Treaties made by the Government shall be
the supreme law Of the land. Even over these
Andrew Jackson has exercised dispensing
power; and has refused TO execute the Indian
Treaty, though decided by the Supreme
Court to be constitutional and binding, under
the prcposterous claim which he has set up,
Of executing the constitution rs he under
stands Il. Thus he has made his wiA the
constitution and the law; and at this moment
we have no Constitution, and no law but his
wiH.
And to make good this dispensing power,
and TO make his pW the rcigning principle Of
the Government, he has declared that all the
officers Of the Government are his officers
his agents, (of course not the officers Of the
law under the constitution, and amena on
ly to the law) and that they shall execute
their respective trusts as lie directs, and not

KENTUCKY.

The Lexington Reporter, a prominent and
leading journal Of the dominant party in kentuc-
ky, indicates decided preference for Judge
White over Van Buren--an important sign sig
nifcsnt Of the vote Of Kentucky. The Reporter
says
% If there be nothing else to induce as to sup
port Judge Whit against Van Buren,, the bitter
and unrelentng war which is now waged against
his reputation by every pensioned press IN the
land, f ON the official organ Of the Government
down. is no slight guaranty Of the purity OF his
character. They knotc him, and know that they
will 6nd in him stern foe to corruption, and
the vile prostitution Of the enormous patronage
of the government to buy up the people. DO not
the people owe il 10 themselves TO rebuke the
dictatoria attempt Of the President with his
forty thousand office holders, TO dragon them
into the support Of Mr.. Van Buren,
Z" General Jackson has been twice elevated TO
the Presidency by a Triumphant vote Of the
people. One would suppose that he ought TO
be content with these repeated manifestations Of
popular feeling towards himself, without using
the power, authority and patronage Of has high
Office, TO control the people in the choice OF his
successor. Has the President forgotten how
earnestly he once deprecated the improper inter.
ference Of Federal officers in the elections Of the
countr, and how anxious he seemed to preserve
! the purity Of the elective franchise from THEN
| communicating influence? 1t affords another me-
| lancholy proof of the facility with which can.

| piished his purpose. We never did expect &c
see President Of the United States take the
field political partizan, and use his power &c
break down an individual, simply because he
had the efroniery TO suffer his name TO be used
as candidate in opposition TO his favorite II
this business is tolerated, how long, gentle read
or, do you think it will be before the President
with his present immense and still accommodating
power and patronage, will appoint his successor
with unerring certainty, without even leaving
to the people the mockery of formal ratifca
ton We have been astonished at the apathy
manifested by the country towards this extraor
binary interference Of the President in the can
vass for his successor, and look upon il mos
alarming symptom Of the rapid decline # thu
proud spirit of the nation, which would ono
have revolted with indignation against the fathe
OF his country, had that venerated patriot so fa
forgotten the dignity of his station as TO hav,
