Tie Albany Journal says:
"Tbat canal navigation for the present season is
concluded is beyond question: for the ice III II IS strong
enough for persons to walk upon it with safety. We
learn that at various points the transhpment OF prop
erty from boats to has already been commenced,
and that the great bulk will long be brought to THE
market.
"Ice continues to form rapidly in the river, and in
the vicinity Of Castston has become quite formidable,
though, should the southerly wind nov blowing con-
tinue for several days, it will eiicctualy use up the
present obstructiODs.
"TIe tows which ran aground night before last

afternoon at o'clock and passed by the passen-
ger-boats from New-York ast night at Redhook. The
fows which left here last evening fioated over the
bars and early this morning beyond the reach OF

boats each on account Of the increasing distractions
at Castl,top.
Three tows will be made up here FOR New-fork

The Executive.

The truth is, the Executive branch of the
Government has swallowed up the others,
and thar il tho reason why the keprc-entC-
tivcs Of the people employ their whole time
in Prcsideu,-making. They look to the Pres
ident as to an absolute monarch, for rewards
and punishmebts. by him, and not 10y the
people, they hope to rise. Col. Crockett was
in the habit Of calling Gen. Jackson "thc
Government" ~ lille other people were
learning to cross their t. and dot their II,
said Crockett, II and the Government were
fighting the indians; and that is the reason
why we spell no better" Judge Douglas has
fallen into the same habit, and speaks OF the
administration now in possession OF the
federal government thereby completely IL
nOring the constitution, which divides the
Government into three departments, Legl5ia-
tive, Executive and Judicial All this Is the
work of the sC-callcd modern Democracy. IL
the days of the old Republican party, 1t was
the aim of the leaders, Jefferson, Madison,
Gallatin &c, to reduce the power Of the Tx
ecutiyo, or at least to hold it in check. Their
doctrine was, power is always stealing from
the many to the few" The ancient federal
sts, on the contrary, continually sought to
strengthen the central power. (?l In this they
have been so CLOSELY followed by the modern
representatives, of the Federal party, that
Congress is no longer anything more than II
name. In bis famous Hanover speech, Mr..
Clay made the following remarks on this
subject:
Modern Democracy has reduced the Fed
eral theory of a strong and energetic EXecu.
tive to practical operation. 1t has turned
from the people and their representatives,, the
natural allies Of genuine Democracy, to the
Executive; and, instead Of vigilance, jealousy
aud distrust, has given to that department
all its confidence and made to it a ylrtuG!
surrender of all the powers of the govern
ment. The recognized maxim of royal in
fa!libility il transp TAINTED from tue British
monarchy into modern American DemOcra
cy, and the President can DO no wrong
TIE new school adopts, mobiles, changes, re
nounces, renews opinions, at the pleasure OF
the Executive. The sum Of the whole Is,
that there is but one p wer, one control, one
will in the State. Al is concentrated in the
President. lie directs orders, commands
the whole machinery OF the government Une
sole will prei0mnaIes in and commands this
vast community. ii this is not practical des-
potisn,, am incapable of defining it. The
source of legislative power is 10 longer to be
found in the Capitol, but in the palace Of the
President. How is it possible for public Ill
erty TO be preserved and the constitutional
distribution Of power among the departments
maintained, unless the Executive career be
checked and res:rainedf"
Never were truer words uttered By unin-
spired lips.-Rich. Wing.

Democratic Sentiment in the West

OmIo.-The following despatch was rccciy-
Cd in this city on Saturday:
"CuLyNEvs, January s, lS5S.-"Thc De
mocratjc Caucus Of the Members Of the OHIO
Legislature has unanimously agreed upon
resolutions Of instruction to the Senators
from this State to vote against the admission
Of Kansas under the LccOmptOn COusttu-
ton"
This intelligence would Indicate that the
instructions Of which it speak will pass in
the Legislature Ivy vote Lcarly, if not quite
unanimous
I>nMNA.-Another despatch on Saturday
announced that the S,are Convention Of the
Democratic party, which met at Indianapolis
on the S;h instant. had adopted resolutions
sustaining the policy of the Administration
with respect TO Kansas and her admission
into the Union. Later adYiccS, however, in
dicatc that the Convention adopted ut least
one resolution adverse to that policy, mas
much AZ it declares that no state should be
admitted unless the Constitution under which
admission Is sought, has been first submitted
TO fair expression Of the popular will. ~
The following despatch was received from
indianapolis late On Saturday:
"ResOlutiOns were passed endorsing the

The Right OF Exuatr,atIon,

Senator Brown, Of Mississippi, entertains
and gives u,terance, in the halls of Congress,
to some curious notions respecting the right
of cxpatriatoG--or the right which the
citizen of one country has t. throw off his
allegiance to the Government, and seek a
residence in another. lie says Walker had
the right to take his musket on his shoulder,
and go 10 the President, Secretary OF War,
or District Attorney, and tell them he means
to wage war against Nicaragua. 'lf one
man." he argues, has such right, five bun.
dred have the same right" There is a con-
siderable difference between what one man
intends 10 DO aud what five hundred unite to
accomplish The President or the Secretary.
f Var might not think that foreign nation
was in any great danger even from the single
redguttabic Walker, with "his musket on
his shoulder" bot when five hundred men,
equally lawle5s, combine to do illegal acts,
their numbers become sufficiently formidable
10 warrant the Government IN saying, "you
shall not DO So" Government may not pos
scs- the power to say that the citizens Of the
United States should not cxpatrIatc them
selves and 20 - other States upon peace
ful erraUd,, but when they 90 with arms
and it is It's houndcn duty, 70 ask what
their objects are in arming themselves: and
when they further conceal muskets and pow
der in boxes, aui place 1t under the coal in
the vessel, Government certainly has right
to infer that the purpose is not peaceful ex-
patriition, but iaw less aggression. The Gov
erumcnt, therefore, has just ~ much right to
step in and arrest such Iawless purpose
from being contaminated, rs il has to arrest
pirates or those engaged in the slave trade
1t was only in November last that the launch
Of the si0Op-ol war Dale, armed with 4 swivel
and eighteen men, went forty miles up the
Congo river, in Africa, and captured \ SLAYER
lying there but which had been fitted out IN
an American port, and sent her and her
crew home. These slaVcrs, according to Mr.
Brown, had right to shoulder their guns
and "cxpatratc" themselves, and accord
ing to Sc ator Davis, they could not be
arrested on foreign soi.' But, nevertheless,
they were, and the facts, if proven against
the vessel and hFr crew, will cause her con
tscation and their punishment 1t makes
no difference whether the wrong doers are in
our own territories or at sea; that which is
illegal upon land cannot become lawful at
sea, and when done under the cover Of our
Hag, in our own ships, as these filibustering
enterprises always are, gives to our Govern
mcnt the night to prevent their cDnsumma-
ton. We deny the right Of foreign vessels
OF var 10 search our commercial vessels
We are bound therefore, in honor and good
faith, to see that our flag is not abused for
purposes declared unlawful by every nation.
