We do not conceive that This circular re.
quires many words to convey correct i'm.
preston of its full import. According TO our
understanding of it, the proposition of he sign
ers is to set aside rights and duties recognized
by the law of nations. The phraseology Of
the circular will bear no other construction.
Congress is to be appealed to. as not only an
independent, but paramount branch of the
government, with powers to adopt any line of
policy whatever, utterly regardless of the Exc
cu.ive. If the course proposed be justi6able
in one case. it is equally SO in all cases, and
the head Of the government chosen by the pop
ular voice. and recognized by foreign powers,
and with him all his constitutional advisers,
become contemplate automata. Our readers
well know that we entertain no extravagant
respect for John Tyler or certain members Of
his cabinet; but this is question Of principle,
and the character Of the President or his min
ristsr has nothing to do with it. 1t lie ques-
ton whether Congress may command armies
and make war in the face of the Constitution,
or in the language of the circular, "whether
the government acts in the matter or not"
The source ofthis peculiar document, unless
we are greatly mistaken, is almost exclusive
ly in the so called democratic party of the vici.
nifty whence it emanates. Messrs. Disney,
Medary and Burke, we know to be among the
shining lights of Ohio locofocoism. Arguing
from the known to the unknown, we conclude
tina, all the list are akin in politics. But
whatever party they may belong to. their doc
trine would lead in practice to inevitable anar.
chy, applied to domestic affairs, and TO as Ger.
tain war in any case affecting other nations.
The expediency of claiming and taking pos
session of the Oregon Territory is question
very different from that here presented. Were
the right 10 it inconiestible, by either argu-
ment or arms, the proposition noted in the Cir
cular would be still open TO the exceptions we
have urged. Phil. North American.
THE Burlington lowa) Gazette contains a
short article in reference to number of RATS
of pine lumber being received Of that place
from the Wisconsin Pnery, and remarks that
several Saw Mills have been recently started
in the Pine Forests in Wisconsin. The Ga
zelie ventures to asert that It will be the means
Of cutting off the numbering business carried
on from the Aleghaney river to the mississippi;
upon which the editor of the Harrisburg Tel.
egrap makes the following remarks:
"This looks important, ii true TO the har-
dy population of Pennsylvania, which lines the
shores of the Aleghaney river and branches.
They need not fear that their business will be
suddenly cut of, if at all, or even injured
much. 1, must take years for the lumber bust
ness of Wisconsin to extend itself 10 any con-
siderable size, and in the meantime the popu-
lation ofihe West is growing, and will require
an increased supply, beyond probably what
the Alephaney could furnish at any rate. and
sufficien, to consume the produc, of all the
mills of the Upper Mississippi, and more too.
" prevent prices rising inordiaately with the
increased demand, as they would undoubtedly,
if the supply was limited and Inadequate"
II appears to us that the Editor Of the Tele-
graph has but very slight knowledge of
the resources or extent of population Of Wis
consin, or he certainly never would have
stated in his paper that it would take
years for the lumber business of Wiscon.

We would ask how many years he supposes
it will ,akel All that has been done has been
accomplished in less than eight years, and il
certainly capnot take as long TO accomplish
double as much, for then our Territory was
but sparely settled, yet she now numbers
10000 souls, being suficien. evidence in our
mind 10 convince the Editor that i, will not
take years 10 successfully compete the lup-
Der business 10 that region of country. But
for the further information of the Editor, we
state that in this vicinity alone there is seren.
teen Mills and upwards, in successful opera
ton, tina, annually ship many millions Of feet
of lumber. and in the Pinery there is large
number, which alone are sufficient, at the pres
ent time, to supply the markets on The Miss
issippi river, The northern part of Indiana, be-
sides the Territories of Iowa and Wisconsin.
And we venture TO assert that the Pine Forests
Of Wisconsin, are as extensive as those border
ing on the Aleghaney river, and our lumbermsn
can furnish more than the country can consume,
and al cheaper rate than the Aleghaney lum-
bermen can afford. /; is true that Wisconsin
