INSPIRATIONS OF THE CENTRAL

Governor Rtner, in reply to congratn-
laiory epislle from the citizens Of Pitts
burgh, makes use OF the following just and
siaieSmanlike language:
"Nor will it be among the least Of the ad.
vantages Of a full development Of her re.
sources, that Pennsylvania will be enabled
to throw her weight, successfully, into The
opposition TO unconstitutional usurpation
and Federal Executive interference, that
have become the order OF The day, & which
have blasted the manufacturing and COM
mercial prosperity as efleclually as, ifper-
mitted TO continue, they will overthrow the
Republican Government OF the country
In this constitutional union against the EN-
croaching attacks of the Federal Govern
ment, il has been my earnest desire 10 as

sylvania, undivided and unimpared, for the
heat of the conflict, which, lear, has not

had been retained with objections, it would
have been passed by the constitutional ma
jority and become law, Notwithstanding
the refusal Of the President TO give his as
sent but by arbitrarily Withholding it,
Gen. Jackson took from Congress their con-
stluticnal power TO make it a law, and in
this iyrannlcal way defeated a wiae and sal
utary measure.
Thus il is found that in al! these importan,
measures--ihe most important suggested in
the last eight years-lhe will ol The PEG
PIE, expressed in every instance by over
whelming majori,cs in both branches OF
Congress, was defeated by the will OF ONE
MAN. The results of government thus
controlled by an arbitrary Executive, are
strongly dclineaied in the present appalling
state of things, which has been mainly il!
not entirely brought about by the defeat ot
these measures.
How far Mr. VAN buren, is responsible
is a question which has elected various o.
pinions. There are those, and not few,
who attribute the course of Gen Jackson
mainly To the influence OF MIR Van Buren.
However, il is known that in some oi these
measures Mr. Van Buren, was one oi the
Presidents constitutional advisers; and we
have it from the pen Of Mr. Van Buren, him
self that he APPROVED ALL THE MEASURES OF
JACKSON, and also pledge that he would
FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS. This pledge he
has redeemed thus far in very objectionable
points: in March last he pledged mseIi TO
use the VETO on the slavery question, and
in May refused TO rescind the Treasury Or
der, which had been repealed by more than
two thirds OF Congress.
