[13-ME. EDHlOR-You will obtise me by inaen-
ny the f3lowing remarks IN passing events row o.
capying the attention of Congress:
ArciS |. Ga NATURAL 1zArIoe,.-In this cOuniry,
where GmgtatlGA is extraordinary it is absolutely
necessary for E public tranquility and the Eainten
ance of existing Institutions to modify the i91ulra
cation Laws, avery tOregner should enjoy th benefit
and projections Of the Laws, but he ought not 80 be al
lowed oparnpate in TIE least il the nomination of
the Legislature charged with the making of new or
the alterations Of e sis ling Laws, be permitted to
vote AT any elRctiOn.
Every naturaIizel fore guer shosd be ellie ble 10 be-
employed in any civil n military capacity, 10 be ad-
nteG.to alb Soci etes or Corporations but excluded
from sling The functions of Legislator, de- Jui
tee, sheriff lror unless in the cci66f fC-
reign Criminal.
Every mas who MAJ have become Bankrupt. even
an America bonn, right hkswise to be ineligible 20
any sUeh employ until il shalt be pre- ed that ne
has raid ufa his Debts, because he that cannot p.e7
perry manage kis own affairs is not cCapeent 10
minister the affairs of others,
AIT. 2. On Ell ECTToss.-Eo prevent all Intrigue End
even fraus in elections, sr opinion is, NAT no pay
meat or allowance ought 20 be made to either SeRa-
tors OF. Representa- YES i'll Congress, 10 those of
the States for her ,ervicas, except thei expenses of
travel to- and from. BY this means a rlan of talent,
although poor, viii, not be excluded, End if s3ch q
ore shoBld be elected, his only expense will ne his
board, which If he be Unable. to pay, hi1 constituents
O light.
BY accepting thii plan much advantage would result
Legislators YOU'D be laorG ateative o. THEN intiess
.Ae sessions woLld be teri less champagne would
sf drlnk and erefOr9 less quaJren!, dupllilG, and
assaul!ng, hat M Adams will be preserved from
lrosA black eye, and we shall not have to fe&r that
Inc nose of Pre- sideat gok will receive the same in
suit Is did thai of Genera Jackson.
Ant. 3. On TIE AsrsT OF P0wER.--For several
years past III governments of eral of the states
have surpassed at gseat length the powers delegated
10 taem, this is web known 10 be no !ehger
question. 1t IS therefore necessary the security of
property and the peace of Individuals, that seund
la1yer shord be appointed IA attend the Legislature
OF each State during its session, in oder to cirtum
scribe II wtain It's proper limits, with special Struc
tons to oppose and protes, agaas; all MEASURES in
JaiCdi TO tie general constitution.
Art. 4. On The ANNEXATION OF Texas The treaty
FOR the Annexation of Texas may be eas Terminated
since it Only depends the sanction oi the Senate,
but the taxing possession does nc appearto to be
quite such easy matter, because the Texan title if
not null and vCid. is al least eIuvs,cat and will
certainly be disputed. My opnian, therefore, is that
much caliion ought to be akea against exciting the
jealousyof England, to maintain peace with our neigh
bOs, ID defer the enterprise until alter the death Of
King ..oss Philippe, whose life, according to the
course of nature, cannot last aach ionger
LOUIS b. LARPENTEUR, a FEcnchman,
who for 30 years has been and for lifo will remair
an affectionate adopted soa of this ooGauy.
