The proceed, ing alt h ugh perfectly in form, and altogether ac cording to precedent was violently opposed by t e federal Senators, who went so far as to refuse I vote, and even threatened lhat the election should be annulled as soon as the new dynasty were in power. It was expected lhat , some of the more Violent and unhesitating would make the attempt, but many doubted whether a majority ol tire partv could be brought to aid in 'the perprtratinn of so high-handed an outrage as the actual rescinding ol the contract would be. ; Yet it has b en done. The contrsct has been declared null, and new priii ters elected, and we have to say, with feelmg ol humiliation fur the deep disgrace of our State iti such a senatorial representation, that the Resolution of outrage was submitted with forward baste by Mr. Mangum ua the 4th, immediately after the organization of the new Senate. So that one of their very first acts his been a violation of la And this is the beginning of the Federal rule. Mr. Willit P. .Mangum is exemplifying the old adage, that "one renegade is worse than ten Turks." He outstrips his new associates in obedi ence to the ruling powers, and is eager in tealou periorinance of what look a very like the low wor of the party. From former professions of Stat Rights rspublicanism, he haa sunk to the estate one of the blindest follower", and most fawning syeophsntic flatterers of Clay the Tnfliie, an Webster the anU-war Federalist. Blsir At Rives were first elected .Printers to the Senate, the con. truct was entered into and signed, and, having been so closed, could not be annulled by the Senate. A refusal of either party the Government or the contractors to comply with il clearly subjects the one so refuting to an action for the same. "THE MECKLENBURG JEFFERSONIAN."

Here we see the truth freely admitted, which the Democratic party maintain, that the abuses of the Banking sstem it swindling, dishoueot, speculating mansgement haa brought rum and distress on the country, and not any actum of the Federal Government, aa has been charged for effect by the Whigs. A sound banking system ia able tit sustain itself, neither asking aid, nor; fearing injury from the action of Government. The people must soon see the mis erabld falsity ot the Whig doctrine which charged on Mr. Van Bureu the evils of this system hereto fore, and promised that the e lee ion of Gen. liar rrsou should restore confidence and prosperity I he Herald says; ' H The imall if err of. confidence creel by Ike change of Cfoseramenf is mtreudy gone. , Tke public begtn to ducoeer, thol iflhe bonking system had tn sound, tke action of the t'edrrol Outrrnmeut could nt kmee affected tt, and bnng unttmnd U u beyond the pouter of tke Guwernment to restore it.

The National Intelligencer, the othcial of the new adiuiuistrai 1011, contains a lung account of the "-order of procession," the pageaut, and parade on the 4ili of March, attending the Inauguration of the log v cabin" President. It was a grand dntpUy iu truth, such as wight have marked the accession, of a monarch lo bis hereditary throne, but sucn as has never bulorw been seen in this Re public on the occasion ol au Insuguraiion ot a Pres ident elect. Toere wss so attempt at all the splen dor of a royal pageant, the parade of soldiery, the marshalled procession, with the gaudy banners, and everv attendant pomp and circumstance of as royal magnificence, and in contra! with all Ihis, bringing up the rear, were several " log cabins" of city mauulacture, fit emblems iu construction, atid appearance, aa well aa in ihe place assigned them thai day iu the splendid procession, ol lbs humlAig purpose they were made to subserve last summer. ' - Such waa the inauguration of Gen. Harrison, the " log cabin candidate," whom the people were taught tu regard as a pattern of simplicity in all tilings ; una who would despise Ihe parade and pomp of station, and be a plain, urosteniaiious, "Citizen President." The accounts published in Ihe Hamsun prints of the Inaugural djsjilay, show it lo have been the most splendid and ostentations eve; seen in Wadiing:on City We will give some ext riots from them lo show our readers this next week. MR. GRANGER THE NEW POST MASTER GENERAL, I If such an emotion could be excited, by any con t'uet of the federal press, we might be really as tonished, at their positive and affectedly indignant denial that Francis Granger, whom Gen. Harrison has placed at the head of the P sjt Olfice Depart- "..' obnoxious to the charge ot Aeounontm. It is to us passing strange that thev should think Dtl ,hey ,-.,., , iecurdll Con, 1 grw- . injCcfible to the people ! Or have they such contempt for their intelligence as to sup , worj nf denjn) W wen gjngt 90tei and acti? We do consider the Unblushing assertion ftat he never hvnred the Abolitirmista, as one of the very fU1 attempts yet made by the party to sot aside recorded fupls and truth, , and to deceive Ihe country bv bare esWlion. They know wbut , elfoct the appointment of an acknowledged Aboli tionist to this otlice, would have on Southern wntgs, and hence we have had extorted from Mr. Gran ger a disavowal of A million but what of limit We judge men by their actt not their vordt. Let ua go bark to the Journals of Congress and exs'm ine Mr. Granger's vottt. On Ihe 8tli of Februs-' ry 1836, Mr." Ptckney introduced in the House of KepresMntativea a set of resolutions whicn were .referred to a select committee, which.

J ,.. :. .. .. . , . v this deeply important subject T The New York Herald has the following notice f the Inaugural i V THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THE NEW , 7 ' PRESIDENT. ' i The address is one of the most unevenly com posed snd written ducuments that ever came from the brain or pen ot a public functionary Parts of it are most excellent, and other pans are most trashy. I he beat parts of it contain some ot the ndest arid purest doctrines that were ever c-o ceived; but they are-very, very bard to live up to. Many other parte are unworthy the t)re at college, or his first attempt at composition. Every definite statement in the address might have been given in one fourth the space -hicb the message occupies. 1 here are too many words ; it deals too much in generalities. There is too much said about nothing. The remarks abdut one term, were all unnecesssry : tbal point was in the con tract ; those relative lo the interference of office- holders in elections' are lust, aod just what they should be. But in relation lo the veto kud execu tive power there is too much t addle; all the points could have been given in a doseu lim e. The nonsense about " an exclusive metslic cur rency " is a crotchet of his own brain ; a sort ot shuttlecock which he stuck up and knocked down fur amusement Ih'ee times in one paragraph. The remai ks about the District of Columbia are mise rably written; Ihe sentences are involved, compli cated, and tortuous; they may be construed to mean any thing or nothing. The balderdash about Oliver Cromwell, Csaar, and Bolivar, will elevate the President in ihe eves of no one. He does not uud rstand the character of either. The clumsy allusions to Greece and Rome, re peated again and again, may be thought classic by some, but it would be eiuieult tu prove Ihein so. As lo Ihe statement about no Republic ever merging into au aristocracy, General Harrison ought to have read thai history ot Venice, and one or two Republics we could name, before he made the sweeping assertions we find in his message, -The miserable manner in which Ihe subject of Abolition, and especially the subject of out loreign relations are, slured over, is sufficient to stamp the inaugural witn reproecn irom an, The Herald is struck, like all readers of the iisssigsxatewistsM it. The paper is imbued throughout with the prrtcmiee ir oesigrumirTr xbhtib 4, bur, to cover thein, there is a shower of I lie General's old allu siikis 10 the Romans poured over Ihe whole. A single passage from the address is sutlicienj to de. L.me)ie,Wb gutse iihfW'tlirCbnalitiiidiriirf constructions -o which il has been subjected, Ihe address says ! . As waa 10 be expected, however, from the de . fecf of language, and Ihe necessarily sententious ;manner-in-which -the CotMrtitution-4v written, dis putes have arisen as lo the amount of power which it has actually granted, or was intended lo grant. M This ia more particularly Ihe case in relation to that part of .the instrument which treats of Ihe legislative branch. And not only as regards the exercise of power claimed under a general clause, giving that body the authority lo pass all lews ne cessa y to carry inn effect the specified powers, but in relation 10 the latter, also. Il is, however, eoneotaterw to reflect, that moot of the instances of alleged departure from the letter ana eptrtt of tke Constitution, hate utiimntelu received the eanrlUm of a majority of the people." What tuvs seen the 1 alleged departures from tke letter or spirit of the Constitution t The alien law the sedition law the National Bank Isw the law funding the State debts the TariS law exclusively for protection the system ot Internal Improvement for the States under national author ity. These are the main points in which the Con stitution haa beeo assailed, and wbat evidence have we that public opinion haa undergone a change in regard to any one of them ! . Up to the last Pre sidential election, the universal conviction was, that ihe principles on which those infringements of the Constitution, had been al first sustained, bad been at last renounced even by those who bad for . years 'most strmuoualy combated tor them. Until near, the close of the canvass, the promi nent supporters of General rUaaison disavowed the design of fenewing Ihe eootest upon sny of these questions. Why, then, does the mauggral now say it ia consolatory to reflect thai most of the instances of alleged departure from the letter and spirit of the Constitution have ultimately re ceived the sanction of a majority of the people," if a renewal of all these defeated designs were not now contemplated I T 6 public will presently see that ihe consolation found in the assu ption, thai Ihe old Federal measures, proscribed for so many years as unconstitutional, have now received Ihe sanction of the majority, is attributable to Ihe fact lhat Mr. Wbbstgi means to bring forward these Mixioua e hemes again. Hakiison has de nounced some of them himself, by way of gaining favor with the people, and how they are to be tressed and to be sanctioned by him as demanded y the will of the people I There are other inge nious modes idopted in the inaugural, doubtless suggested by Ihe tertile mind -of Mr. Wkbitkb, to reconcile Ihe country to his dangerous designs, to which we will advert hereafter.
