might as well say that the colonial regu-
lations of the United States aud Great
Britain were null and void as the resolu-
ton, because not in the form of treaty.
Congress were acting as much under an
express grant in passing this resolution as
in regulating the colonial trade.
Most Of our rec iprocal commerce with
foreign powers rests on like legislative
basis, Congress having, on two or three
occasions, passed such laws as to dis
penso with duties on tonnage, &c. on
condition that other nations adopted sim
liar rules; and when they did, the fact
has been made public by the President;
and thus by Legislation alone a compact
or arrangement with foreign power as
to foreign commerce has been completed
by Congress, without the intervention Of
any trcaty.-(Sce the acts Of 3lst Nav,
1928; 18th July, 1882; nh February
1924.
1t would thus be seen that the treaty
making power applied in case like this,
of express grant to Congress, only in alc
of Congress, and when Congress coult
not, or would not, complete its actor
without treaty, But, as it may here
that power does not apply; nor does it ap
ply when country is conquered, after
declaration of war by Congress, and it
government and people, without any
treaty of peace, are merged and gov
erncd by an act of Congress; nor wheI
another country is discovered, and GU
laws, by an act of Congress, without IN.
treaty, are extended over it; nor when t
country is coded to us by another by
deed of cession, as has been done again
and again; or by gift, like the Smi'hsoni
an fund.
All remember the cases of cessions t.
Rome ortheir domains by certain African
princes, and by the king of the Sandwich
islands to England, within three years.
Having said enough on this point t.
make my views ineligible to the Senate
hasten to some other arguments bearing
on the constitutional question.

ORGANS OF THE PINKEYES.

The Pinkeyes had determined, at the
late March Meetings to sweep every Lib
eral man from office; and now that they
have found themselves a used up commu-
nifty they groan terribly. In Ilarlland ev-
erylhng was prepared to send the Liberal
party to- kingdom come" without mercy,
but 10! at the close Of the meeting the Lib
erals had triumphed and the Pinkeyes
make themselves still more contemplate,
if possible, by whining about the RESULT
The Pinkeyes pretend, now, that they had
no thought of carrying politics into the
March Meetings. How happens it, then,
if this be true, that in Hartland, Pomfret,
&C., they came to the polls with their tick
cts all made up and their votes writien?-
They, also, now with great horror, depre-
cate making March meetings POLITICAL
They make this depreciation very seasonal
bly,! The Liberals acted in self defence,
and we see not, when the people of every
other State in the Union make their spring
elections political why we should not do
so in Vermont.
We congratulate the Liberal party upon
the success they have every where met
with in the State, at the March meetings,
and we express hope that the party will
maintain its organization and be in readi-
ness for September,
