We shall now follow these proceedings with some
of the comments Of the Press. ,.s..
From The Albany Euening Journal.
The Chief Justice stgmatises their proceedings
as FRAUDULENT Such, too, will be the judgment
of the People. Eighteen Senators, in contempt OF
the Constitution, and in mockery of their oaths,
tered into conspiracy TO prepent and defeat the APP
ponlmen of Senator in Congress We say en-
tered into conspiracy, because the FRAUD was con-
trved and arranged in caucus, in pursuance TO or
ders from Washington, and under the dictation of
Marcy, Croswell and Flagg. ..
The question now returns to the people. We APP
peal from the Van Buren, Senate 10 the BALLOT
Boxes. If Freemen want the constitution obeyed
they elect Senators who will not violate it. If
the "Supremacy oil Laws" is to be maintained, the
followers of Van Buren, must be kept from our
Halls of Legislation. II our Institutions are to be
preserved, the people must choose Representatives
who will not deliberately violate their oATHs.
From the NJ " Times
Madness has done its !On the day appointed
by law for the choice of Senator of the United States
under the constitution, actious majority OF the Sc
nate Of this State composed OF men holding their
place under the arstocratic tenure OF that body,
against the will OF their constituents, has presump
tuously dared to set the popular WILL the demands of
the law and the obligation Of their Official oaths at
defance Men claiming for themselves the respect
ter, and honesty Of public conduct have been found
in that body, so abandoned, servile degraded
knavsh and contemplate, as to coNsPIRE to defeat
the execution Of the laws, and the performance OF
their official functions-some of them, with the un
blushing Of mature villaay, have had the
audacious hardihood 10 exult in their shame, and TO
the practice OF knowing and wilful perversion
of duty, in order to defeat the election OF particu
lar candidate. If the poor mechanics cOnspirc toge
Their, to obtain for themselves a just remuneration
for their labor If any citizens conspie to do an
ta,rful act the law adjudges them TO be guilty of
MisDEMEANoR, and awards penalty OF fine and i'm
prisonment Shall hoary headed vice, Official guilt
and pampered villany raise the Egis of power, party
and privilege TO arrest the arm OF injured justice,
which descends for outraged laws, upon the humble
and Internationally offending citizens
Shall knayery go unwhipped of justice" be-
cause il sits in high places, with all The pride,
pomp and circumstances" of official power2 Shall
the representatives of the people be permitted 10 vio
late the laws oaths, and duty with impuni,y, and
beard the sovereign people to execute personal re-
sentiment, crafty private malice, any other cause1
We trust not, We know the honesty and integrity,
the love of law, and liberty Of the rREEMEN OF New
YoRK too well TO doubt that, upon this occasion, they
will arise in their might and hurl down the vile
prostitutes Of place the miserable serfs of ire
sponsible cabal and all who support them in this
great moral and political outrage from the places
they have foully abused Let the brand Of PERU
nv be stamped as deliby rs The mark OF Cain upon
the brows of the men who have thus paltered with
their oahs, and sported with their public duty Let
the felon's mark be put upon them, that they move
