On re-survey Of the few past years, we
behold enough 10 sickeu and sadden the
hearts of true patriots Executive encroach-
ment has quickly followed upon Executive
rncroachment; persons honored by public
confidence and from whom nothing but
grateful and parental measures should have
lowed, have inairted stunning blow after
blow IN such rapid succession that before the
people could recover from the Keeling ef
leclS OF one, another has fallen heavily upon
ITEM Had either ofthe various instances Of
Executive misrule stood out separate and
alone, so that its enoimty might have been
Seen and dweh upon with composure. the
Condemnation of the Executive would have
long since been pronounced but it has
hitherto found safety and ilnpuny in the

an Execuliee proceeding.
Ifthis state fittings were TO remain--if
the progress of Executive usurpation were

would seize the public mind, or the People

resistance. But thank God the power OF
the President, fearful and rapid as its strides
have been, is not yet.too grea, for the power
OF the elective franchise; and bright and
glorious prospect. in the election OF William
Henry Harrison, has opened upon the coun-
try. The necessity Of "a change of rulers
hasdeeply penetrated the hearts ofthe Peo-
pie; and we every where behold cheering
manifestations of that happy event The
fact Of his election alone without reference

powerfully contribute to the security and
happiness of the People. Ii will bring as
