thing to break up the Wing party. The confidence
In Mr.. Critenden by the Wing party is unim-
paired; and they only want an opportunity to honor
him with the highest honors within their gift. again
repeat that the leading journals of the State should
not be received by the Wings Of other States true
e1Posors of the Wing party in Kentucky. Though
they regret his failure to sign Cays BILL many of our
prominent Wings give him credit for his veto upon
The second-believing it much more objectonable-if
objections there were-than the first While they
differ with him upon the currency, yet they are liberal
and magnanmous, and accord to him credit with deep
feelings of gratitude for the good acts performed at
the called session They cannot forget his signature
TO the Loan bso indispensable to meet the Just Gre
dtors of the late Administration the Navy and For
tifcaton bill, the Bankrupt bilI-a measure majority
of the Wings in Kentucky opposed to- but do not
complain, Kentucky is bul little interested-the re-
peal of the sub-Treasury, and the approval of the
Land bill. These two latter measures, in after times
will give character and fame 9th to Congress and the
President. They more than compensate for all the
expenses Of the extra session and the failure of all the
Bank projects that were adopted proposed during
the session. Upon all these subjects the views Of the
President were assailed by the denounced
in unmeasured terms; and it be possible that
the President thinks of abandoning his long-tred
friends, and seeking new home among the Locos?
Who would not be induced for thousand vetos TO
honor him with their confidence, and the emolument
of Office 1t is impossible; it is too ridiculous to be
thought Of No, l say it cannot be possible. His
public acts give the lie to such imputation. Were
he such traitor, would he rally around him SO much
talent and moral worth2 Did he want to betray his
party with view to uIteror Objects he would not per-
init such Cabinet 10 be stationed about him. knowing
al he well does that the first move towards betraya
of Wing principles would be proclaimed from the
house-tops to the American nation. Did he want to
be Loco and tread in the footsteps of Van Buren, he
venient, honest Levi Isaac Hill, Senator Smith, of
Connecticut Turney of Tennessee, Bynum, Of NJ
g., and Allen, of Ohio. With these views as to the
course of the President yet honestly think the
Wings have no cause to denounce him. Every thing
is encouraging tor the party to sustain him as Wing
President. The political cast of his Cabinet demand
it at our hands. Webster is Wing Forward is
Wing ;'Upshur is Wing Mclean is Wing; Wick
life is Wing; Legare is Wing. What better evil
dence We have that it is the object of the Pres
dent to carry out the great and leading objects that
brought him into powe,.
My object, sir in addressing you this, is to lend my
humble mite to maintain the union of the Wing party,
and give, believe, the true position of the great
body of the Wings in my native State.

FOR THE MADISONIAN.

FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.
MR. EDITOR Notwithstanding the denuncialions
and vituperaton avishly dealt out by a portion of
those calling themselves of the Wing party in this
State and esew here, the saunch and sober minded
portion of that party here look with pleasure and pride
upon the course pursued by President. 1t is not
TO be concealed that his independent and conscIen-
tious discharge of Duty in relation the question of
U. s. Bank combined with his prompness of
ton upon, and sanction to, the leading and anxously
desired measures which the Wings of this country
had at heart and which passed into laws at the last
Congress, have and are daily gaining for him the re-
spect and support of all those whose and coun
tenance he desires. All who observe the " signs of
the times, and can feel the public pulse, know this
especially does the late letter of the Executive to the
acting head OF the Post Office Department, elicit warm
appreciation, and Is earnest that we are again ap-
preaching the pure and Democratic doctrines and prac
tics OF the Administrations of w ashnglon and JEFF
ferson. That the breach is widening IN this State,
between those who approve the course of the Presi-
dent and these constitute the large body Of the Wing
party-and the few meddng and desie ming po
clans who follow the beck of disappointed and mor
fed leaders, there be doubt but that these
few, from causes local hele have long been obnox-
ious TO the true Wing party and that they were long
ago disaheced, but have only now found what they
think proper occasion for murmuring is also well
known. That they feel too late, and pognantly how
little they are counenanced, and how great is their
error there be doubt for cannot be conceal
ed that there all about growing respect and APP
prevail Of the Presidential action and modification at
the ebuon Of msga aided feeling which caused a
rupture in the party
That the course of the President commands the
respect but jealousy of opponents and daily and
deep-I Dotted increase of favor from those honestly
disahected, but mised and is leaving solitary and
alone" the political brawlers and shorsighed dema
gogues Of faction is too apparent to pass unnotced

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MADIsoNIAN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MADISONIAN.
In the very able review of the decision of the Su-
preme Court of New York, in the case of Mcleod,
the principle is asserted and maintained with great
ability, that the Government of the United States has
absolute jurisdiction the question: is alone COM
petent TO decide the relations which shall subsst be-
tween itself and foreign government and that when
its decision has been made and that relationship esab
shed the act of the Federal authorities is conclusive
upon all judicial tribunals. Allow to add to the
authorities cited by the reviewer extract from
opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States,
delivered by the late distinguished Chief Justice of
that Court in a case strikingly analogous. In the
case of Foster Nelson, 2 Peters Rep. 307, Chief
Justice Marshall, says -" In controversy between
two nations, concerning national boundary, it is
scarcely possible that the of either should
fuse to abide by the measures adopted by its gov
eminent. There being common tribunal to de-
eide between them each determines for itself on its
own rights, and if they cannot adjust their difference
peaceaby, the right remains with the strongest The
Judiciary not that department of the Government to
which the assertion of the interests against foreign
power is confded and its duty commonly to decide up
on individual rights according to those principles
which the political departments of the nation have es-
Iaoheheu' IL Tie CouTse Ol the natlOn mas been
plain one its courts would hesitate to pronounce it err
roneous."
Again, p 300: If those departments which are
entrusted with the foreign intercourse of the nation
which assert and maintain its interests against foreign
powers have unequvocaly asserted its rights &c; it
not in its courts that this construction is to be
denied question like this Prospecting the bounda
res of nations, is has been truly said, more pol
cal than legal question: and in its decision the
of every country must respect the pronounced will of
the Legislature"
The cases are strikingy analogous, and tor the Ju
dietary to decide question of political character in
volving the foreign interests of the nation in man
different from that given by the department of the
Government, to whom the Constitution delegates ju-
| risdiction the intercourse between nations, it
| would, Chief Justice Marshal pronounced it be
an anomaly in the history and practice of nations"
