TO what has actual lybeen done in
that part Of Mass lchusetts, demon.
mated the Old Colony, containing
population of 100000 people,
where the traffic in all its forms, has
been eflectually stopped, not indeed
by the action of the Legislature,
but by the county commissioners,
with whom the power of granting
or Withholding licenses, is entrusted.
The results Of the measure have
been in every view, suspicious, This
is evinced by the increased, and more
decided appreciation Of the commu-
nifty, shown by their election by
augmented majorities Of commits
sloners known to be in favor ofthis
course; and by the calenders of
their courts of civil and criminal
justicc-cascs of the latter kind
having become all but extinct. And
if regulation ofthis character can
be carried into effect there, we
see no reason why a statute en-
bracing the same principles, could
not be carried into effect here,
characterized as this state has al
wavs been by a Difference for law
and general spirit of subordination

"The result of the struggle, such as
it was, to defeat the Opposite Bill has,
most unequivocalIy proved, tina. the
Influence of the present Executive Of
the United States, is on the wane, if it
has not absolutely departed.
"There never was a measure, to
which the President was more warmly
opposed than this very Deposi.e Bill,
and yet it was carried. The old gen.
tleman raved against is--swore against
it-threw the ashes from his pipe at it,
and yet all would not do; the pimps
of power, and the panders Of party,
could not be driven on to their own
destruction, and the old hero only raw
ed to witness kind of San Jacinto
defeat. When he found that the bill
would pass by most triumphant ma
jority, and that whig and tory, and
'ins and outs would vote for il, he con-
ceived the plan OF modification, and
with his own pen modelled an amend
ment, which varied no principle, and
which, he said, il adopted, would de-
prive him Of the veto enathema. joe
ssph b. Anthony think be is called
Gen. Anthony,-was employed as
operator in the plan: he introduced
the amendment, as an affair of his own,
and il was carried and the old Roman
was relieved from the dilemma, in
which he had found himself inoppor~ j.
timely involved. ~
"Ba. the bill, such as il is sand il is
good enough to answer the ends of the

Of the total deficiency of influence, on
the part of Gen. Jackson 10 the State
of Tennessee, need only state the
fact, that oftAe whole delegation from
