FROM thsAlo.nnIri, cazc,,c, Aug. H..

The "extreme medicine" of the Constitution has
come TO he the daily food of the people. A power
which British Monarch dare not exercise. and
which the founders of our Republic thought could
only possibly be used on the most importan, occa
sions and in cases of great emergency, is now fami
larly and constantly handled and made to control
tho legislation Of the representatives OF the states
and the people. We are told that when the last
Veto was sent in, very little interest was expressed
in the House or among the spectators in the gale
RIGS. IL had become an cold song" and none werc
startled at its introduction. Thus do men become
famarsed to Power. Accustomed to its nnicn and
port, they learn, first to endure it, and them TO yield
to its authority and succumb TO its dictalion.

IRE the man to set that ball in motion. | think
when President undertakes to perform the whee
legislation of the coun,ryto levy taxes, or to pre-
scribe the terms on which bills levying taxes shall
be adjusted ~ Congrcss-i, is high time for US to
enquire into the limitations of Executive power it
indeed there be practically any limitation at all.
Ii the Representatives of the People have no
power TO exercise the discretion with which they
are invested by the Constitution, in cvying taxes,
ard the taxing power is negatively vested in the
President, it seems to me that we had better lis
solve our present institutions, and if we can, re
organize upon sounder and more republican prnci.

peaehed, to bring guilty unctonary to justice, or
at least, TO test the question: whether we live un.

THE CRISIS

The important speech of Mr. Adams upon the
Veto, and the extraordinary Executive assumptions
therein contained, will arrest the attention of the
reader. We are altogether of the opinion of MIR
Asms, who, by the way, is the best practical Re-
publican on the public s,age-that submission on
the part OF Congress to the dicta,ion of the Execu-
tive, is out of the Aucs!ion-would be equally dis
graceful to the members and subversve of the pub.
&c liberty. We had as we'll now, as at any other
line, test the question, whether the one-man power
is absolute and unlimited Ii we have been living
under a mistake all this whe-erroneousy sup.
posing that ours was Government OF laws-in the
formation OF which, the people were the principal
aetors-it is high time we were undeceived. There
are some, who will not submit TO such cons,ruc
ton OF the charter of our liberties without a
struggle; and in this category, we believe may be
included, large portion Of the Democratic party.
Whatever preferences they may have for one Tariff
or 10 per cent. lower than another they cannot be
less opposed than the Wings to one man exercising
all Legislative powers. and claiming the right to tax
he people without their consent.
