ssmo constitution makes il imperative upon
you to surrender person charged with mea.
son you have made the surrender discre-
tonary. Thus every duty which as Cover.
nor Of a State you owe to The constitution Of
the United States, might be evaded, and the
consl slituiion so far frustrated. However you
may doubt Of the treason Of Dorr, OF your
own TO the constitution Of the United States.
no one think will doubt who is capable OF
reflection. II oil magistrates, in all cases,
should take the same Liberties, with the consll
tuition. as you have done in .his case, we still
might seem TO have a constitution, but in fac,
should have none the will Of the magistrate
would be its substitute; and the oath Of Office
would no longer be a security against the
perversion Of us text F; and the evasion Of its
ordinance.
Have these Governors never reflected, that
the whole fabric Of the Union itself is found
cd on trus, on the t.ust i, reposes in the
States and the Executives of the States that
the performance Of this trust is left voluntary
90 both subject to no control no coercion by
penal enactmcn,s. The voluntary perform.
snce of this voluntary trust is the only c.
menl that holds the fabric Of The Union to-
ge,her. Let the performance be refused and
the fabric Of the Union is dissolved at once !;
it would vanish like phantom. Can any
one doubt this ?-or be inscnsible Of this !?
Suppose the People refuse to perform the
trust reposed in them to elect Representa-.
iives; the Legislatures TO elect Senators !;
the Executives to perform their several trusts;
what remedy is there? know Of none the
constitution has provided none. And il is
this circumstance that constitutes the glory
Of our constitution. it was made for virtu
Gus People it supposes a vlrtuous People,
and 30 long as they are virtuons, ii will be the
most stable of all Governments. For no ob.
legation is felt to be SO imperative by the vir-
tnous mind, as irus, reposed and guaranteed
only by sense Of duty.
Ii is this circumstance, that our Government
conduc, Of Gov. Hubbard toubly detes,ablc
10 the heart OF every true patriot. Here he
was invested with an important trust, under
the Constitution Of the United States, which
he might be,ray with persona impuni,y and
which, therefore, he has betrayed.-For no
one can believe that if he had been made
climinalIy responsible for dsobedience to the
Constitution, he would refuse to surrender
Dorr and hazard the consequences.

FIRES.-Since our last, two fires
have occurred in this place, which were
unquestionably ly the work ofncondarics.
The first broke out OH Friday about
o'clock, in the building formerly occu-
pied as an academy by Levi Tower
The building from examination, was
evidently set fire to in at least two, or
if not three, different places. When
first discovered, the fire was breaking
out and spreading rapidly in the cellar,
and under the roof at the same time
There appeared to be little prospect Of
arresting the fire when the engines
reached the spot, but the spirited exer-
tons of the iiremen and other citizens,
soon subducd the flames, though not
without doing much damage to the
building. The school House is si,ua-
ted near the armory Of the Artillery
Company, and also near the house oc-
cupicd as gun house by the company.
In the latter, were several kegs ofpow-
der, which were removed TO 4 safer
place when the fire broke out.
On Saturday, about the same hour Of
the day at which the nbo7e fire took
place, our citizens were ngain alarmed
at the dread cry. This fire proceeded
from Il small building on the land Of
Mrs. Johnson, near the beach, occupied
by MIR. Henry NJ. Brownell to shelter
his portable Bathing Houses nineteen
in number) which with the building,
was entirely destroyed. Loss TO Mr..
| b. estimated at from 800 to 400 dollars
No Insurance. Several false alarms
have since been made, and our citizens
have been generally on the alert. 1t is
to be hoped those concerned in this ne
iarious business, will be ierrctted on;
and brought to speedy justice.
