lie is strong maj, and on the subject Of the tariff
agrees with the Wings on the rrop'iety Of discrim-
mating duties He is also in favor Of anpron,;a,;o,
for the Rivers and Ha,bors He will 20 into the
House with more. freedom from party tramneis than
most members, and we hope he will make himself
generally useful. He is strong man, as a friend or
foe and when he fights, he asks qua ter and gives
none. His opinions in the House will not be without
their weight, though they will derive little strength
fom partnership on either side. Like John Quincy
Adams he will take the privilege of saying just what
he thinks best.

The LAws.--Are our laws to be sustained! We
have NOT doubt that they will b, sustained in every
particular. From the best iatuis ence we have de-
rived Lom tha open d,bates upon tn question, since
the partial execution Of the liquor law the other day,
1t has been iortu1a 10 hear but one sentinen,
upon that question. There is virtue in the mass of
our people-whatever is their private sense Of thu
proprlety OF the lawthoi,h, they may think il in
expeiient ami even inf cement of natural rights.
still there is with people, with scarcely an ex-
ceptioa, love Of order and a reverence fJr our stat
u,es that overcomes any and all III. opposing sug,
tons of sense and the instincts of personal liberty
1t is, aware bet the merest common place
truism to say, that if the sense of the majority and
the enactmentS of representatives are not respect
ed, then are pitith peopla--we have nothing to
rely upon--our republican institutions are but legal
ned aaagchy-a government based on the senine Mt
Of the people is humbug--and we may as well at
once so tn the other extfeme--absoute dcspotism.
The meanncss and the cowardicc Of treason to the
laws, which by convention with our fellow citizens
We have materially and sclemn, pledged li:es, and
or h'nors 10 sustain, is despioable and unworthy of
nea who have ii, privile5e OF enjoying or fee in.
shlutions o'Ich opposition is base cowardice, for
the resistance is not made to hired soldery with
guns AMI hayonets but to the peaceful reign Of SEN
timent, and good will
llany men oppose or law upon our statute books,
they do it without consideration, and in the words o
our savior, they know not what they do."

In this second assemblage, we are informed that
the friends Of the law un1uestionaby out numbered

OF the law while it remains upon the statute book
