Interference Of The General Government wiA SLATE
Sorereigaiy There is no honest citizen who is not
impressed with the truth OF The truly democratic and
republican axiom that the United States OF America
are union OF eoaederoted rereignties and that the
national government Is power created out OF and
by the States, with delegated, express and circum-
scribed duties specified In the constitution and be-
yond which they cannot go by any construction or
implication. That the national government Is an
agent or servant, selected by the States perform
certain acts, ana olhef-leaving every other pow
er whatever to the sovereign States, who are The
masters, and the people.
Nor Is II less true that the present administration

popular rights, are, with these professions 10 the
mouth OF their party, doing all in their power 10
subyert the sovereignty of the Slaesthe vital prD-
ciple OF our existence, and 10 consolidate and CEN
tralize new and absolute government of their own
embracing dominion little short of monarchy or
autocracy
The history Of this administration seizure of
the national purse and sword The attacks the ju-
diciary-the alarming embezzlement Of the public
moneys through Land Indian Agents, and custom
house and other offcers-ihe immense and wanton
increase of government patronage in the creation Of
horde of pensioned U. s. office-holders all over
the country, and the proaigate expenditure of The
peoples hard earning upon Indian wars, purposely
conducted as 10 procrasIinate their DURATION and
to augment the government paironage-the waste Of
public moneys on expensive government co tracts
Tor foriihcaions, and a thousand other works DIES
tined 10 strengthen the consolidated central govern
meni, are among the alarming evidences OF The en-
croachment OF the national administration upon the
sovereign authority Of the States.
MOI conented, however, with these violations and
usurpaiions, and thousand Others that would here
occupy too much space to enumerale, I'VE confiue
ourselves at present to the still more recent and
dangerous interference Of u. ). government officers
icaM Lie actual legislation Of The States
l. Plans concocted by Mr.. Van Buren's cabinet,
at Washington have been put into execution before
our eyes, actually to obsrnc the free Legislation OF
the States by direct attack on the members Of the
legislatures assembled at their respective capitals
Al Harrisburg, the capital Of Pennsylvania the in
deDsndencp q or mr. In ade cd
by suborned, hired mob Of u. s. ofce-hoders,
sent on from Philadelphia city and one or Two other
counties. The capitol was storlned and taken pos
session OF BY them--,he members OF the Senate and
House of Representatives driven ont of doors, and
finally ntmdated and bullied into compliance
with the terms offered BY these iniuriated hirelings,
backed by Loco-ioco minority in either house Of
the legislature
.. Following upon the h els Of this guilty triumph,
we have the p,sn adopted to defeat the election OF
Wing U s. Senator from Delaware, by smuggling
Lcco-foco members into both houses from the Wing
county OF Sussex Here the scheme has been
tPh6yBbaIIfd Jhy dIee6 DR. lie TsssfEsiaTGre
8. In the State Of New York we have jus, been
witness Of the yet more dsgraceful sub.eriuge re-
sorted TO by the small Van Buren, majority in the
Senate to defeat the reelection to the U. S. Senate
Of Mr.. NJ p. Talimadge.
4. II Mr. Van Buren, persists in his determination
10 grasp al unlimited power, we shall soon have a
civil war with all its horrors. n is mol TO be pre-
sumed that the people will be so AFFECT as to submit
10 opeH the most sacred rights
they possess, and that hireling ofce-holders shall
traverse the country from capital TO another
dragon the State Legislatures into degrading
subjugation to the will and authority Of the Presi-
dent.
The time has arrived when il behooves the de-
cared friends Of States Rights come forward and
!" hang their banner on the OUTWARD rail-" We
speak not Of the north, for know that they will
protect themselves against an army Of Sub-treasury
pensioners and myrmidoms But where now is Cal
houn and the other chiyalrous men Of the South,
who look to Stale rights and the sovereignty OF the
States the only sheet-anchor OF their salvation
from Executive domination, and the Capitalization
of the whole power Of the country into the hands Of
ono man-that man, too, protesting Southern princi
pies?
The Enquirer informs Us, that Mr.. Clay's friends
in New York acknowledge "three elements Of OPP
OConnellism, which cannot be controlled, and
which will make il necessary for him TO retire from
the field.
These three elements being adverse to Mr. Clay,
we of course 10 infer that they are favorable to
Mr. Van Buren,.
The same paper some time since chuckled at the
idea of the trouble which certain abo oniss in Sy-
racuse, N. Y, were giving TO the Kentucky Sena-
tor, BY questioning him as to his aboionism and
desiring 10 know whether the two colored gentle
men attending him were slaves or lreemen."
These little circumstances disclose the real con-
vctons of the Editor in respect TO Mr. Ciay's SEN
timenis. He has diligently labored to persuade his
readers that the Western Statesman is tainted with
abolitionism; but he Is rejoced 10 find that the
abolitionists will, vote against him, that, In I'M
guarded moment, he lets the truth slip through his
fingers TO the iraminent peril Of sink swim"
