The wing party, in trumpet. tones Ia little cracked. to
be sure, but very loud, have denounced the democratic
administrations with usurpaons OF power aud inyasions
OF the rights OF Congress- General Jackson FIRST in the
bank and notification agaiions, and Mr. Polk last, in
the Mexican war, were charged with usurping powers
exclusively belonging to the legislative and judicial de-
parmenis. simply for executing the laws and maintain
ing the just division between federal and State ursdic
tions. The most unmeasured abuse was poured upon
them in particular and the democratic party in general
which supported them in their opinions for violations of
the constitution. for 1surpaon OF power, for union of
the purse and the scord TO the danger Of all our rights
The people told that the federal party, then called
sohig, could alone be ntrusted safely with executive
power When the late President was seeking zeal
ousy the surages Of the people for that high Office. in
like manner he denounced those nvasons Of the
tive branch, and pledged himself not to follow such
example, He even surrendered substantially his right of
veto on acts OF Congress. and consented to act

the people for their confidence heard, and the Office
so eagerly sought was bestowed. II was held by him
little more than sixteen months, and in that brief space
more porentous invasion OF legislative authority has
been perpe,aed and that too, by the sord than has
ever been known in our history-an invasion which
threatens immediate conflict Of with one Of the
States OF the Union on her own soil.
