stored to sustain Executive userpalion.-
The union o! the Fox and the Lion is a
rare combination. While one has cunning
ly aud cautiously pulled the wires, and
moved the machinery. the other has stood
forth with reckless daring and taken the
responsibility While one has operated
cautious mystery, the other is astoishod by
the suddeness and boldness Of his move
mcnts.
BY an adroit and shlllrul movement Gen.
Jackson,at tho opening Of his administration.
was placed IN the attitude Of proIessed
rgofmer. The abuses of the administration
OF the elder Adams were without shadow
oil truth, imputed to that Of his son, and the
Republicans OF 'o6 were invoked TO sustain
Gen. Jacksons as they had sustained Mr..
Jefferson, 20 put them down. Never were
nigh and hollow professions more thorough
~ tested, or more successful than they
have been during the last ten years. Eve
ry movement TO extend Executive influence
and enlarge Executive power, has uniformly
beea preceded by some extraordinary pre-
tensions Of regard for popular rights. The
President has been Landed as the patron
saint ot Democracy, even at the moment Of
= igl a.
lions, legislatures and courts of Justice at
defiance, and shook the very frame work Of
the government TO lis foundation.
To blind The people to the fragrant as
symptoms OF Executive power, care has been
taken to exercise II upon objects of popular
jealousy. Its true character, aud tendency
have, TO thousands, been cdectuaIy conceal /.

against Mammoth banks, to cover the cnor- |
NIFTY oi the assumption of power in taking
millions from the custody in which the law
had placed 1t, and putting it whore it could |
be made TO subseUc the purpose of mug
menilng his power. Every enlargement Of Ex- |
ocutlye power has been accompanied by the |
professions that ii was necessary 70 main /

Jackson and Van Buren,, the disciples of
jciicrsonj while opposition, struggling to
MAINTAIN the true balance ofthc Constitu-
t'on against the oyergrown and oycrbearng
power Of the Executive, has been branded
as the revived federalism of'o9. Never. we \
venture to say, has a higher stamp of polu-
zeal deception been played of on any peo- I,
pie. In the genuine spirit of Juggling, ex- Il
ccutye eucroachmont has assumed names I,
precisely opposite to Us nature. Thus while
carrying out, with high hand The very
principles which rendered the administration
OF the elder Adams odious TO the Republl-
