"You Az KICK MY Doo." Ash passed

current Of my mind had been agi'a,ed by
more than circumstances that day, and
the little dog rendered me bsolutely angry.
With an exclamation OF wrath, gave this
member Of the canine race a kick, which
sent him bowling to the opposite side Of
the street. "Sare," said a tall swarthy,
Frenchified. ferocons looking parsonage,
bowling until his mrs,achios brushed nv

us to record n resolution Of condemnation,
because we may afterwards be called to
try the case IN q judicial capacity. then it
is equally unconstitutional for us C record
resolution Of acqnl,lal. It it is uncon
situ,ional for the Senate TO declare before

Constitution, i, is equally unconstitutional
to declare before trial Iha, he has net VIC

pie is involved in both. Yet, in the very
face Of this principle, gentlemen are here
going 10 condemn their own act.
But why do waste nv breathe know
i. is all utterly vain. The day is gone; ;
night approaches, and night is suitable to
the dark deed we mediate. There is
sort of destiny in this thing. The act
must be performed; and it is an act which
will tell on the political history OF this
country forever. Other preceding viola
,ions Of the Constitution land they have
been many and great flied my bosom with
Indignation, but this fills it only with grlcf.
Others were done in the heat of party
Power was, as it were, compelled to sup
port itself by Selling upon new inst rumcnts
Of influence and pa,ronage; and there
were ambitious and able men to direct the
process. Such was the removal OF the de-
posiles, which the President seized upon by
u new and unprecedented act of arbitrary
power; an act which gave him ample
means Of rewardng friends and Furnishing
enemies. Something may, perhaps, be
| pardoncd to himiin this matter, on the old
| apology Of 'yranls--lhe plea Of necessity.
But here there can be no such apology
| Here no necessity can so much as be pre-
tended. This act originates IN pure, I'M
mixed, personal idoa,ty. 1t is The mean.
cholly evidence Of broken spirit ready TO
bow at the feet of power. The former act
was such an one as might have been per.
pe,ra'ed in the days of Pompey or Cesar
but an act like this could never have been
consumaied by Roman Senate until the
J times of Caligua and Nero.

very singular one. Capt. BENJAMIN Law.

of minute men in Free.town, on hearing OF
the affair at Lexington, ordered his ser.
geants to muster the company and have
them meet him at the alarm post to proceed
to Roxbury. They accordingly met him
there, prepared for the march, having their
distinguishing liberty caps on with this mot
to, "Liberty or DEATH" The company was
properly paraded, and previous to their
march he made the following address to
them.
Felio,o Soldiers! We are now going to
hazard our lives in the high places of the
field of battle in defence OF all that is near
and dear to us. Tyranny has fixed his iron
gasp on us, and we must either conquer,
or live and die slaves 1t is true we have
got to contend with nation long famed in
arms. Their troops have long reaped
the laurels Of the field and their fleets

THE Texan WAR.-By the last advices

cieved without enthusiasm, and that he had

until such time as he can clear up his con-
duct in Texas, and give satisfactory &C.

All the hopes therefore which were
founded upon his influence, all the promi-
ses Of speedy settlement OF Texan indie

certain supposed secret arrangements be-
tween General Houston, General Jackson
and General Santa Anna, are now at an
end. The Mexican people, no,wlhs'an.

Houston has his own way in Texas, in

PLor AND Counter PLOT. A rather
singular scene was developed yesterday
afternoon, at No l66 Varick street, which
thus arose. In the proceedings. which
were sometime since commenced by Mad.
ame Jumel against the late Colonel Burr,
for divorce, it will be recollected that the
colored girl, Mary Johnson, proved cri'ni-
nal intercourse to have existed between
the Colonel and Mrs Jane Macmannus,
who resides at No SO Courtland street.
Mrs Macmannus now appears to be in
similar dilemma with Mr. Cox, who, along
with his wife and daughter, very pretty
young lady. named Maria Airey, have been
residing at Mrs Macmannus's during the
past winter. Mrs Esther Cox. it would

WESTERN WoNDERs.-A friend showed
us more than common curiosty,-being
no less than a sketch ofan ancient city. the
remains Of which have been discovered a
year past, in the fertile and hourlshing ter
rtory of Wisconsn-on the west branch
Of Rock or Crawfish river. The brick
walls of this metropolis, thus accidentally
rescued from the mists and mould Of the
past, are between four and five feet high.
At their base, they are nearly twelve feet
in thickness. AT regular intervals Of five
rods, massive buttresses support these ram.
parts, which circummured city OF nearly
three miles, in an irregular oblong square.
The remains of five large buildings are en-
closed within this space, and nearly SO 9th
crs of smaller size, may there be found.--
The walls. as defined in the unpretending
sketch to which we alude, are in length
on the north, one hundred rods; on the
east, fifiy-five; on the west, forty.fve. -
The remaining boundary has not been &C.
curately traced. From an inscription on
rude portal of the city, it was found, that
its name was Aztaan.
Now who lifted these walls, and esab-
lished the gates of this forest city; and
whens Were they reared before success
i've springs had brought up the wilderness
to its full stature? These are points on
which conjecture alone can play the umpire.
Was the region of Wisconsin, in other days,
some golden Hspaniola, pregnant with
mines like those which the immortal Co.

believe that he had verify discovered the

the Indians, aslounded, fell back with their
rude bows and arrows, were found power

On the 10th, about $50 ofthe same tribes
