rcordially agree with you in the opinion you
have expresMHl, of the acta of the Federal Fjtecu.J
five, to which you have referred and have, in the
discharge of ray officio! ihities, during the session,
cheerfully united with all, entertaining the same
opinion, to resist those acts, to the best of my abili-
acted otherwisn, 1 would have been, unfaithful to
my wth to junw
ciplcof the party with which it is my pride to
act, and whose motto ia -opposition, to usurpation,
in whatever form and from whatever quarter. So
long a the Executive shall persist in his acts of
usurpation, so long shall I feel bound, by the high
obligation, of- duty, to continue to pursue tlie same
course, without regarding the diversities of opinion,
ha they small or great, between myself and others
whom I may find in opposition to the same acta. ,.
: But, while I thus stand prepared to'rcsiat the
encroechrrientsjDfjt
in ray opinion, every scheme of resistance, united
to the acts of that JJepartment,, without looking be
yond, must, in the end, prove abortive. Unless I
am greatly deceived, the true equilibrium, of our
political system, is to be Cmnd in the great and pri
mary division of power between the Genera! and
State Government, so long as this fundamental dis
tributioii reniairuuivhsturued, as estahlUhod by the
Constitution, there Is, in my opinion, Isjt little dan
ger of t,he. Departments of the Government at

should make the attempt, that it would be success
ful f but let this fundamental Tj'u4ribuf ion lie dis

then, ft a fundamental law of the ay atem, that hat
ever power Congrea may lake from the rlates
will ensure, not to iU dvaitage, but lo that of tlie
Executive. TIhj reason ia obvHiua. The patron

INCENDIARY OUTRAGE.
TV community were thrown into great ika
and excitciucut yesterday morning, by the conlb'
g rat ion during tlie night previous, of Uie Uraulior
Convent at Charlatuwn. To learn the pert kukri
of thi melancholy affair, we immediately hastcnet
to the spot, where the consumed rfler of tlie ad.
jiirent erections, the blackened wall of tlie apt.
emu convent, the trampled garden, and IhcyjoJit,
fed loiiiTrhore a Kirful v.7liK's to the commimijs
of violence and outrage. The scene wa indtrd

the unholy perttetrator. of tht most disgraceful
outrage.

nagement in the afmir of the institution, had crea

lion and excitentent. Increaeing from day to day,
it ibreateued to bunt forth in act of violctiee and
we umlcrstand that the publication of hand bill aoi
an apparent movement among a certain claa of tbt
comiuunitv during the preceding day, had produce
general impression that some gTos outrage would
be perpetrated. Of thi forewarning, however il
appear that no notice wa taltert by the civil au
thoritie. Knot of half a dozen or a dozen men were tret
by about half pajt eight gathering in the neighbor
hood of tlie nunnery. Shortly aAcr, cart Jade,
with tar-barrels and CimiUistiUe pajje to Ik
