strcling tho power oEGoyernment over pri-
vate property, and more efIectually secur-
ing the rights Of citizens thereto. Ifthis
was not the .great principle of the American
Revolution. then it has none. The line
that separates the power of Government
from private property, is the line that de-

you cannot pass an act TO abolish slavery
at present, yet you may pass it to take ci-

HrThe adva.tage and Importance of having a
Legion attached to the second Municipality have
long been felt and ack nowledg and we hail
with sincere pleasure the daily symptoms of &c
compshing this object. Three crack companies
the Washington Guards, Louisiana Grays, and
Capt Johns elegant Dungeons, have left the "Lc.
gion'' and joined themselves to the fourth regi-
ment of Louisiana Militia, and will form the nu
cleus of military force alike honorable to The
American population, and essential for the security
of the city. A large number of spirited young
men are now forming new companies to Join them,
portion of whom are enrolling themse az
an Artillery Company, and another rs mounted
Chasseurs. The zeal of these high spirited ndi
vidnas deserves every encouragement, and we
hope to see them joined by all who being subject
20 militia duty will readily perceive the advantage
and comfort of joining their friends in these lau
dable efforts, TO being subject to compulsory mi
litia duty. We feel assured if our enlightened
Council will aid them with liberal appropriation
