to the Legislative Department. .and Congress
is the sole judge ofthe time and manner Of
creating or authorizing any such govern

The duty Of the Executive extends only
10 the execution of laws and The mainien-
ance Of treaties actually ia force, and tue
protection Of fall the people Of the United
States in the enjoyment Of lhe rights which
those treaties and laws guarantee.
It is exceedingly desirable tha, no oc-
casion should arise from the exercise OF the
powers thus vested in the Presiden, by The
Constitution and the laws. With wha,ev-
or mildness those powers might beexecuted
or however clear The case OF necessity, yet
consequences might nevertheless follow, OF
which NJ human sa saciiy can iorcsee either
the evils or the end.
Having thus laid before Congress The
communication Of his 'Exceiiency The Gov

spec,ing constitutional obligations which

Alarming Spread of NOu-IntcrcOurse

The Hobbs Holior Gazette, published a, Hobbs
Hollow, III Jersy. publishes the following spirited
resolutions, Of the "chiyalry' Of that gallant
place.
Al an enthusiastic meeting Of the Planters Of
Hobbs Hollow. held at the oyster and Turnip"
Inn, Nov. 90. 1850 General JoHs FIKE IN the
chair, and Colonel + l. SQUID, secretary, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutIons were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas the people Of Hobbs Hollow have,
since The formation of the United States Govern
ment pursued the vocation Of planting oysters
and garden vegetables, and selling tn. products
of our plantations IN the New Yor market: And
whrrea. the City of New York, regardless Of our
rights, has pursued ~ stem Of aggression upon
our Institutions And whereas the said city is
growing no, and popuIous by feeding on our oys-
tiers and vegetables, which they purchase from us
thus lmpoyerl-hing u, And wherea We can.
no. look with composure on the growth and pros
perlty Of said city, now Numbering more than 500.
900 souls, while Hobbs Hollow is at most station
arg and our soil and oyster beds are becoming
less and less profitable every day-there.ore,
R,sOty'd That n "ohyalruu-" ;tni generous
sous OF lioGb. Haliow, We will hold no further
n'erc0urs. Wit siid City Of New York that By
Withholding our oyster and vegetables from the
ianatical consumers thereof in said city her pop
uatlon will soon DIV ndt, and Hobbs Hollow will
become the most prosperous portloe Of the globe
He'oiteG That the ,ou. Hobbs Hollow are mol,
only the braves, men on earth, but thai they are
the most hosptable talented. and fond of all ,orts
Of danger, and Of "pIucking up drowning honor by
the locks and all that sort of thing
Resoire2 That We will not buy anything which
comes FROM New York that we will not load
manure or clans on Ira Browns ,cow, he having
bought her in New York, and being also New
Yorker by birth
Rsso'r.d That we pledge our lives, our for
tunes, our lobster pots and clam rake- in the holy
cause Of resisting the finatcal expressions Of New
York that Il regiment of five men BE- forthwith
raised to enforce our rights.
