policy! bow a base selfishness has usurped
the ' place of a lofty patriotism; and the
rightkof the. peplc bc sacrificed before .
tlie wantonness of power. I would bring
to your indignant view State sovereignty
violated in the rejection of the returned
members" fr6mNer Jersiy holding xrei
dcntials as formal and sacred as those
which your own Representatives exhibit;
tlie suppression of tlie popular will in the
denial of the presentation of petitions the
property of the "Old States" invaded by
the passage of a pre-emption law; tho pen
dency of a graduation bill , and tho promise
of a cession to the " New States" of the
Eublic domain; and lastly, tlie power of the
Ixccutive strengthened beyond constitu
tional restraint by the irresponsible and ab
solute control of theA venues of the nation,
aereWomhi
force! ' - - " ;
On this day, consecrated to Liberty and
tlie principles of Independence, it may well
deserve theconsidcration of the People in
what manner the-dangers -which threaten
all that is dear to freemen may be averted.
They can only be, as I firmly believe, by
a change of rulers, and every hand sliould
bejraised and every heart animated to this
great work of reform. The prospects are
cheering, and with the faithful performance
of the injunctions of patriotism, the duty
will be accomplished.
- With the sentiment which I subjoin, 1
have the honor to subscribe myself, with
faithful esteem and respect for the Asscf-
ciationand yourself, their and your obliged
and obedient servant, i

Wlicthcr the two Houses of Congress
will or will not transact any Legislative bu.
sincss to-day; it is impossible to say. It is
in their power to do so, without prolonging
tlie Session, by suspending for that purpose
the Joint Rules of Proceedings of tlie two
Houses. It was a melancholy sightf last
evening, to see the poor pension and other
claimants, for whose relief billhad alrca
dy passed one House, and some thorn had
at several Sessions before passed one or the
other House, and failed forwant of- time;
