AS was TO have been expected from such an occur.
renee me announcement Of the intelligence, created
general burst OF Indignation. That vigilani band
OF patriots, the democratic republican general com
mitiee, have been usual prompt In their action.
meeting OF that body has been called for this eve
ming 10 consider the appropriate measures to rebuke
this high handed step OF federal arisocratic power
and we may anticipate that an early day will be fixed
for the public assembling of all the unchanged and
unerrified democracy TO express their sense of the
value OF constitutional privileges, and " the deep
damnation meriied by those who have wilfully vio-
lated and betrayed them. The voice Of New York
on this vital subject will be responded TO throughout
the empire state and The echoes Of denunciaon that
will reyerberale throughout its limits, will awaken
consciousness which has slept In the bosoms of The
guilty and recreanl Senators. The consequences TO
the individual intended 10 be injured are OF no mo-
ment compared with the transcendent outrage upon
the public He Is in the hands OF that people In whom
ne has ever conded, and who have ever justified the
unlimited confidence he has reposed In them. I'm
der bis name, his principles and integrity, they have
achieved one triumph over the trained bands of cor
ruption Another effort, and another election will
snnder the last lgamenis which hold viany in
power.
From the Neio York Courier and Enquirer
The first light In which we regard this movement
is as an outrage upon the popular will II is beyond
AL doubt the will OF large majority Of the citizens
Of this State, expressed by their Representatives
that Mr.. Tallmadge should be reelected to the Sc
nate OF the United States. The fact is placed be-
yond all question or cavil by the recorded votes Of
The Wing members Of Assembly. What then
should be the duty OF all who in TRUTH as well as
in profession, Democrats; To acquiesce in the
popular will. Let them turn 10 the prittes De-
mocracy OF Mr. VAN buren,; and learn the lesson
that an infraction Of The well understood will of
the people Is "a fatal blow TO the Of selfgo-
vernment." Let them learn from the same source,
that the supremacy Of the popular will Is the foun-
dation OF our government. II we allow 1t to be
prostrated either by corruption or fraud the repub-
lican principle, which gives lite and character TO
system will be broken down." Let them apply these
doctrines to the trick and evasion by which they
would now cheat the ascendant majority Of their
rights, and subvert the popular sovereignty.
But again, this proceeding is violation Of posi-
1--WE law II not only defies the will Of the people,
out y dehes statute enactments. BY law the Senate
was directed 10 discharge particular duty on the
9th OF February; and the Senate could not adjourn
before that duty was performed, without violation
o. that law. BY refusing TO ACT under its direction;
ny evading the performance of the duty which the
law imposed; BY resoring to trick and chicanery TO
deieat the popular will, they have alike violated
their duties to the consistency and their oahs as e
gislators $500
If The principle should be acted upon by all par
ties which have been acted upon by this profisate
faction, IL would put an end to all Government If
such course is defensibet year and in regard to
one Senator, It would be equally defensible for six
years, and in regard to both Senators; scoun-
drel cabal in the Senate might be enabled tor years
to deprive the citizens of this State of their entire
representation in one branch Of the National Lee
gislature. And who the advisers of this profit
gate course Z Who are the master spirits directing
the movements Of these State puppets Does Mr..
District Attorney Butler-the man Of patriotism,
piety, and the people does he give " an opinion"
favorable to this course of the Senate Is the
spiracy sanctioned by that deterrent Democrat, MIR.
Wright Is it approved by the great Democrat Of
Democrats, MARTIN VAN BUREN, Beyond doubt
The whole scheme is sanctioned BY the men at the
palace, If il is not the result of a positive Execu-
live edict.-These underngs of the late Regency
these doors OF dirty work for His Majesty-would
never have dared to take such step on their own
responsibility. They, TO be sure, are directly
spons BILE for il to the people but the response
bility attaches 10 those in high Positions who have
countenanced or permitted this infamous outrage.
To such responsibility they will be strictly held;
and their just appeal to the constituency will stamp
them with the condemnation OF the people whose
will they defy.

THE LAW VIOLATED.
Agreeable to the orders of Martin Van Buren,, his
'liege men in the Senate OF this State have violated
the law appointing Tuesday, the 9Th inst. for the
election of Senator in Congress, thus depriving
the State Of representative in that body, and defy
ing the will Of majority Of the people Of this State
constitutionally expressed. The manner OF conduct
ing this disgracetul affair, according to orders from
Washington, will be found in our columns Van
Buren,, admit, has reason to be proud of his vas
sails, they 60 beyond the ordinary duty of serfs 10
carry his orders into execution--lhey wear their
collars as tight as he pleases to make them, and they
surrender by this act their seats in the Senate, the
confidence Of the people, and their self-respect.
Roderck Dhu never at his mere whistle, could call
his band SO promptly together But CUT bono? They
the people, but have they thereby defeated the cleo
ton OF N. P. Tallmadge Not at all. The time of
Mr.. Talmadge expires on the fourth Of March next,
and the next Congress meets early in December
The election in this State comes on in November,
and the people thus roused Thus insulted thus de-
fed will sweep the collar men from their seats, and
place freemen there instead Of bondsmen, and the
election of Mr.. Talmadge will be unanimous.
The Loco Focos, however, now they have VIC
lated the laws, will try an experiment" to choose
Senator. They will pass law in the Senate to pro-
vide for an election of Senator-noce has already
been given to that effect and they will endeavor to
name some other wing than Mr. Tallmadge, one of
their kidney being out Of the question: and send the
law thus passed to The Assembly to have it rejected,
as assuredly ,ciH be, and with the man who could
sell himself 10 the Loco Focos for such nomina-
ton No bill will pass the Assembly for the election
of any Senator than the one nominated BY the wings
in caucus
What a poor Devil Van Buren, has got TO be. Put
down in his own Slate-his own Influential friends,
the Regency, swept out of offcethree fourhs OF the
States Of the Union declared against him, he has
nothing en but the little tricks intrigue and CHI
canery Of political loafer, trying to ward off the
blow that must finally reach him, and procrastinat-
ing the time that sees him in obscurty and his OPP
ponents in power.
What has been the sin Of N P. Tamadge in Van
Burens eyes4 He refused 10 rear the cOllar-he re-
fused to carry into effect measures that would be
runous TO the country-he refused any longer TO
support a weak and wicked administration and
therefore dying effort must be made to defeat his
election.
