 The following Ex raet tomtnezAnnual Message of Governor HAYNI, to the Le- gslature of the State of BouTH CARoLi- NA, which came to hand yesterday, is too important to le kept from our readers for d single day. Although there are parts of 1t from which we entirely dissent, ti cannot be denied that there is great truth and force in his general delinea of the abuses which have crept into the Administration of the General Government.

 .s0ther events have occurred since your adjournment which are calculated to exert lasting influence over the fortunes of our beloved country. In the Administration ol our national affairs; 3 collision has arisen between two of the departments of the Federal Government, that has led to the practical assertion of principles, on the part of the Executive, which, if established. must lay the axe 10 the very root of our lib- erties. It IS utterly impossible that free government can long exist any where, if the purse and the sword shall be contided ta the same hands. That odious and tvranni- cal measure. ihe FoReE BILL, by which, icith thc coHSeat of Congress, THE SwoRD was committed to the hands of the Presi- dent, to be used at his dlsereiion, even against the sovereign states, has been tol- lowed up, as might have been foreseen, by his selzing upon the PURSE, and openly claiming dletatorial powers. Fer all practl- cal purposes, the President of the United States Is now in possessien ui the whole ol he vast power and patronage of the Fede- 1 raI Government, which are yielded at his pleasure, without any responsibility, ex- ceot to God and his couseience. There ts no .,fs s., 4ss5fpse tie responsibility of the Executive, whl!e De continues the head Of party, to lmpeaeh- ment, is an idle dream, and our reeeat ex perieace has demonstrated, lhtt all other res | ponsib,Iity may be entirely dIsregarded. =
 The whole revenue oi ihe country, amount ing 10 between twenty and thirty millions I annually. is now centded. under the direc- 1 ton of the President, to persons chosen and appointed by himself, or his agents. Even
 
 a Justice of the Peace in he District ol 1 Columbia can be lawfully appointed, Is de- ned all participation in the selection ot those agents of the Treasury, who are
 made Repositories Of the public money,
 which has been withdrawn houl the places
 designated by law, and $ disposed of, ac-
 casdug to Executive discretion nor does
 there appear to be any power tn the coun-
 try, of arresting this hagrant usurpatlon which would unqnestionably have deprived
 an European monarch of hts crown. Thus . has been suddenly and most fatally realiz-
 ed our worst antIcipaiions of the downward
 course of onr national affairs, and the rapld
 progress of the Federal Government to- wards the assumption ot absolute power. 1t required, indeed, no profound phioso-
 phy, to discernin the history of our country,
 for the last ten years, the uneqnlvocal lndi- cations of spirit of i-asgrandizeinent on f ihe part of the Federal Government, equal
 ly fatal to the rights of the States, and ihe
 liberties of the citizen. theinevllable conse-
 ulence of which must be, 0 draw from the States the rights essential tt ther safety, and eventually to concentrate n the Executive the powers of all the departments of the Federal Government. Tie evil, il is true, did not begin with Genera Jackson, and ii Is 10 be feared, will moi end with him. , His administration has oily given more rapid development to thosi pernlcions prIn-
 ciples, co-eval with the CMiederacy itself, which now threaten the slbverson of our fl free institutions. Implications and con-
 struction, those s'sappers md miners" of the Constitution, have ben at work ever since the creation of inc Federal Govern nent, and the Citadel ot liberty already . toiters to ifs base. It Is impossible that , our Republican, system canendure, fl ours k to become d cpnsolida.es Government. !. The framers of our Gonsiittion knew, and
 every well-intormed and refleciipg man , must be fully aware that nocountry so ex- , tensiye aud diversified as or own-with d T population widely separatedfron each oth-
