We have been so long accustomed to regard the
a sort of despotism, that we are practically,
though unconscously, celebrating day by day
The distinction between license and freedom. Le-
gisative enactments, whether they establish a
police system or impose an unwelcome tax, are
continually assailed as tyrannous edicts which are
contrary to natural rights and repugnant to Amer
lean Institutions vague idea has somehow be-
come very prevalent, that any coercion of re-
publican citizen is equivalent to his oppression.
and spirit has thus been fostered which is always
prompting men to resist the ordinances they dis
like. No more mischievous error has ever grown
up in any land; nor are the dangers arising from
other sources half so threatening to orr secnritv
as those which spring from this delusion. The
exercise of arbitrary power productive though it
is of injustice and suffering to individuals, is not
necessarily destructive of the stability of the State
But the habitual and increasing disregard of estab-
lished laws, which is manifested throughout the
country, will, ifunchecked, bring about the nevita-
BILE ruin ofits government and people, In our dread
of despotism we should have care, lest in seek
ing to shun that evil, we incautiously retreat too
far along the path which leads to anarchy. Laws
are made and revoked here with such facility that
they are rather deferred to as the ephemeral ex-
pressons of popular impulse, than obeyed as the
DEGREES which are to adjust the interests of nations
and shape the destines of future generations. As
public opinion has called them into being it assumes
jurisdiction over them, and usurpng the functions
of the executive and Judiciary departments of the
government, it daringly modifies or dispenses with
suhsisting laws. 1t decides how far they concern
essentials or non-essentials-ho far they are
matters OF form or substance; and it evades them
10 satis'y It's convenience, tramples on them to
gratliy us passion He who obeys any manifesto
ton Of the popular will, no matter how IRREGULAR

In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. Green called up the
joint resolution which he introduced on Tuesday,
concerning Mr.. Medill, the First Comptroller of
the Treasury, and asked its reference to special
committee, saying that the reference of joint
resolution had never been refused no matter what
it contained. Several gentlemen attempted to
speak in defence of MI. Medill, but prevented
by Mr.. Green, who insisted that the merits of the
resolution should not be discussed before it was re-
ferred. He then moved that the discussion of the
question of the reference of the resolution be
tnued, which was lost, but the Senate ordered the
resolution to be printed. Mr.. Sumner introduced
a resolution which was adopted, calling on the
President for copies of any correspondence, not al
ready communicated, relative to the claims of any
foreign government to the military services of
naturalized American citizens. The conside-
ration of the Homeste ad bill was then re-
sumed, and occupied the attention of the Senate
until the hour of adournment.-In the
House Mr.. Stanton, from the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, reported back the West Point APP
preparation BILL with recommendation that the
House concur in one of the amendments making a
small appropriation for the support of the Acad-
envy, but recommending Inconvenience in the
amendment to call regiment of mounted Texas
volunteers in the field, and moved to make it the
special order for Tuesday next. The motion to
make it the special order of the day was lost The
House then took up the bill to suppress polygamy
in Utah. The debate on the bill became very gen.
eral, Messrs. Keitt, Gooch, Barksdale, Branch,
Simms and others participating: The last named
gentleman said that he would vote for the bill and
II polygamy could not thus be prohibited, he
would vote to strike out Utah from the map of the
United States. He assailed the principle that
because they could prohibit or punish polygamy,
they could also prohibit slavery in the territories
Poygamy was crime punishable by the common
law, while slavery was matter of property and
entitled to protection. The previous question was
demanded and put, resulting in ayes H. nays rs.
MIR. Nelson then addressed the House in favor of
the bill up to the hour of adjournment
