I he mass ol powers, which may' be illegitimately transferred to the General Government, may thus accumulate with out end; and as almost every measure, which is adopted, must be carried into effect by the hxec- uiive Department j as every appropriation of mo ney, for example, requires agents toarry it outy subject more: or less to the Executive control, so the latitudinous construction of the Constitution tends to enlarge the patronage and. power.of the President. I he result of this interpretation would be, according to Mr. Madison's Report, "to consolidate the States, ; by degrees, into one sovereignty, the obvious tendency, and inevitable result ot which would be to transform the pres ent Republican system of the United States; into an ausuiuic, ui at ursi it iiiiacu iiiuiian.iijf . The truth f this theorv is finely illustrated by the previous Administration of the Government. Did not Gen. Jackson, instead of assuming doubt ful -powers, steadily refuse to accept them, though importunately pressed upon him by the YVnigs Did they not invite him to cloihe himself with the enormous influence and patronage to 6e de rived from chartering a Bank of the U, States but he replied, "The Constitution gives no such power, and I will not assume it.?'' Did not the Federalists offer to give him millions upon mil lions to devoTte to Internal Improvements to works to be established all over the Union, and to be expended by his own Engineers and offi cers, appointed by his igency and dependent on his patronage; but he refused such offers, and negatived their bills. The doctrine of a strict construction is, there fore, not only nesessary to preserve the rights of the States, but the liberties of the People. It is this scbool, which constitutes the Republican party. It is the school, to which our Jefferson and your own Macon belonged. : Its tenets are m he found in the Virginia Report of '99 and e mean to arrogate no claim to any invidious distinction, when we recognise in that immortal paper the Shibboleth of our own faith, as well as the landmarks of the whole Republican party. The latitudinous school of construction, on the other hand, constitutes the Federal party. They are accustomed to interpret the charter upon much looser principles. In their eyes a Bank of the United States, a large Protective Tariff, a system of Internal Improvements, the distribu tion of'RevenUii amng the S'ates, and the vari- 'i ous forms which a loose construction na3asum FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.

York and Ohio. i - - f ' ' We appeal, then, to the citizens of the whole South. We appeal to them-as - patriots and as statesmen. We beg them to recollect, which candidate ha 3 been their firmest and fastest friend; which of them has pledged himself- to veto any anti-slavery bill which may be passed, and which of them has refused to give any pledge at all upon the subject. We call to their recollection, the po litical character of those who have stood by her side in the National or State Councils who have resisted this factitious right of anti-slavery peti tions? . Who have passed a la.vv in New York, which has effectually barred the door to the recov ery of our fugitive slaves? -- Are not these facts written with a sunbeam upon the archives of the nation? If we elect Gen. Harrison, shall we not be guilty not only of ingratitude to the "North ern man with So.uthern principles," "but shall we not be guilty of the grossest indiscretion towards ourselves? We would reject the Northern can didate, whose influence is now exerted in our behalf, at the very, point of danger and among the fanatics themselves. We should fatally con-' tribute to crush. Ats friends, who,are our friends; as well as to deprive them almost of all moral power to serve our cause hereafter. We should subject ourselves to the influence of politicians, who have never been the warmest friends of the South who are willing to throw open the door to Abolition petitions, and who have neither the inclination nor the power to serve us.' The appeal is then made to us, as members of the strict State Rights' Republican school. And it is particularly made to us in behalf of our own rights, and our Southern institutions. The ap peal is also directly made to us, in behalf of the true principles of free Government itself. Ha ve not the people a right to judge of the principles and qualifications of their candidates? Have they not a right to demand, that their opinions should be unmasked? , But the Federal. candid ate refuses to unveil his principles, or to answer the most important interrogatories from friend or foe. His friends are pursuing the same game, and acting upon the same policy. As they will not decide the contest upon a free discussion of principles, they have recourse to the coarsestde vices, - to screen his conduct from the proper in vestigation. They are getting up every species of jumhur to deceive or alarm the people. They are attempting to gull them by log cabins. They conjure up almost every species of art and deception. They have started the humbug of a Standinor Army, of an enlarged Census, as the forerunner of a Direct Tax. They exaggerate the expenses of the President's house, and adopt, :ia their Oracle, one of the most "foul-mouthed" members of Congress. .Their whole system of electioneering, is, indeed, founded on a contempt for the understandings ot the people. They treat ihem rather as brutes, to be despised, rather as fools, to be gulled, than as intelligent and hich iniud'ed men, or as sovereigns of the land, who re.canahle of iudirins ind governing themselves Sime of the more ingenuous Whigs do not hesi tate to confesstIthat their log cabins are intended .1 ' .

The Key stone State is now completely.uuited and when did she ever fail, . if united ? -And when did Pennsylvania ever fail us ? Will the Empire State desert her own tried Republican son? Ojiio,- too, presents us bright and cheering pros pects. We learn, that Governor Porter of Penn sylvania, Teturned from the State of Ohio but a few days past, and publicly stated at Pittsburg, that she "would give Mr. Van Buren 10,000 ma jority. Our neighbor-State on the borders of the Potomac, will be found true on the day of trial and as forall the Southnone will prove'recreant. Such is our confidence in your chivalry and prin ciples, that we gladly number you in the galaxy of Southern State Rights' States. We have gal lant allies beyond the Mississippi and the Ohio but why specify all the States, thai will rush to the rescue?

If some :a-w poer should be found necessary to attain rho. ohiects. it must be asked for from the par lies contracting to the compact, according to the ' fnrma whleh are prescribed for its amendment. . We exclude, of course, as a Federal heresy, the j doctrine of Gen. Wm. H. Harrison, that the eonsent ot one or two States can confer any new power, or that Congress can possess m wn to interfere with slavery in the District of Co lumbia, with the consent of us people and of the States of Maryland and Virginia alone. We . repudiate, also, the same doctrine, when it claims i to invest Congress with the power of appropriat es the National Revenue for the emancipation I of "the slaves, with the consent of one or two 1 shveholding States; or when it claims to esta blish a Branch of a U. Suites Bank, in a single i St;ite. with its consent. We hold, that no. new ferred. but with the consent of ihr-e-fo irths of the States, given in the shape of nn amendment, according to the forms of the Constitution. Still more do we. reprobate the sweeping doctrine, recently put forth by General H irrison, in his Greenvill'e Speech, respecting a Public Bank, or any other institution, which ihe t)eon!e mav he sunnosed to desire, or Congress miy adopt for the good of their country. - If the that rharacter. noi- wnai is those who on eral power. The annals of our Republic exhibit the successive struggles vhich have taken place between these two parties. The Federal School prevailed during the Administration of the two Adams'. B it the people rose in the majesty of their strength, and secured the triumph of the Republican party, by" the civic Revolution of 1800. The latitudinous doctrine, however, a gain made its appearance during the succeeding Administrations. It crept on by degrees until a new Bank was estsblished, a Protective Tariff adopted, and other alarming measures were pro jected; and the Federal Judiciary scarcely ever failed to justify the usurpations which were sub milted to its decision. The very name of State Richts was not often heard beyond the Potom ic. and the Virginia Report was gradually losing all W,fl.nnc m the other States.

Indeed, what Dowers can be said to be reserved to the People or to the States, if a supposed popular majority or the general welfare can confer any and every power?

Such a man can have nn artVn.iaif idea of State Riffhts, and can be called only in derision a "Jeffersonian Re Publican."
