 | HAVING purchased from Messrs. Blalr and KlYes l k the whole establishment of the s'Globe, we propose publishing atWashingtona paper to styled l THE .UNION."

 We approach the task before us with deep sense of the responsibility which we are about 10 assume and notWihout much diihlenee of our quaIihcauons' We have some acquaintance, indeed, with the datles ol an editol Of anewspaper but vas acquired upon other theatres, much more limited and less conspcu- than the Metropolis oi our conlederated "nd vide spread Republic.

 We ean scarcely be charged with any iaordiaaie vanity in saying that upon the success ot our lnsl tutions depends in great degree the destiny oi the oldest countries of Eulope. distant posterty has deep interest in fate. fIa blessings oi liberty are essential 10 the prosperity ol the whole human race; and where are they spread out on so large a field of action, illustrated by so many brilliant e&- amples. a. iu these United States!

 We have only to realize them in our own history and in the happiness o people, to spread the lldhe of Liberty oyer the EASTERN WORLD. We have only to perpeuate these blessings by preserving the sacred of our States and there IS no asSi9ha- bic limit 10 the prosperity which we may enJoy, or the plories 10 which He may ascend in the scale oi Nations. We have already wrought miracles enough oa5uniSh tip foreign tourist amid all hls preJldic2s. and to attract the curiosity, fl no the admiration, oi 1 Eurole. We have display edthe benefits ol LIBERTY and of GSIoN in a series oi phenomena, which arc almost calculated to surprise ourselves. hat can br more remarkable even in tie present day, thsn the spirit of enterprise and improvement which per vades our Stajcs-the scheos which they are erect ira the canals which they have executed; the more Ihap LOCO miles oi railway which they have con stfutteda a less than twenty years tie immense pod ics of land which they have redeemed from the will d,rnqss; the towns which they have srewn over the West; the multiplication ol people from three 10 i,;pnty millions of souls; the augmentation oI the number of our STATES from thirteen to twenty nine, including the three new 6tates o Florida, Iowa and Texas which, as we write, ne hope are now pro babiy starting into existence:

 "Westvs2rd the coarse ot empire takes its way;

 Thc inst four acts already past,

 4 fifth shall close the drama with the day,

 Times nobIest offspring is the last

 If is principally the influence oi the Free lnsttl-

 lions We possess, and whiea were never dreamed oi more than hundred years ago, by the phiosophic author o these beautiful lines, t!at has wrought SC many achievements here Liberty eXcites man to think for hinsoil to cast o anticipated prejudices and to start in new career ol Improvement. Il opens besides in this new country, as Ii were, ne \ asylum to the oppressed ot all nations, which in de spite of the ''Natiye American" prejadices oi the day stil! continues to invite other people to cultivate our lands and contribute to our proscaa. Ii ts otl free institutoas more than any other cause, which are dfaWin. ',he course ot cnpire" to the WESTERN WORLD.

 mcnt seems to be the order of the dAy. Science is shooting forth in all directions Art ia obtAiiHg the most brilliant riumphs over NArUEE. Tie age IS advancing with the jmpetaosity of steam, tn which 1t is so much indebted fer t3 progress. Commerce is cxpandin! her wings unlsr the impulse of new and stronger principle. Y hcsc seems laiecd 10 De no limit to the progress Of discovery And il is in the midst ot such an are, and at the metropolis oi thi3 great country, that We are about 10 erect our leHt for tie responsible purpose of maintaining ths true principles of our institutions. We almost sarla> hack frem the enterprise we have undertaken. But fa tha c~isjt flat tlaypf 10 LIBERTY, to UNION, and to our GoCHTsY; a healt that is proud of inc name ot AMERIe tN-saae little eXDerence in OFT busiaeSs--a zeal that nothing can subaue and an industry that fears no labor Wlth these feelings Hc come to throw ourselves Rfon te lihafaltY ot tOHrCountrymcn. W trust that We shall receive, fl we deserve their support. If We fail in an enterprise which mi ght almost appa the 5toatest spirit thcy will at iaa4t be liberal enough ta aseribe it to the want of power, and not of w-to the head that guides US, and not the heart that iapes us.

 Ofone thing we may confidently assure the pubic NC approach the task With tAe deepest reT7renCe fer the trne theory of our political institutions. Our confederaed REPUBLIC is making neS and bold experimentin the scIESCE F Of GGoYERNNENT. When we look to the original form of the Constitution, are indeed struck with i.s novelty and beauty. Wv see in it an attempt to ascertain how far power be SO distributed between the two GOVERNMENTS a

 to prevent an ercessire concentration and conseqHen abuse of it. in the Federal arm al tue time tha so much poucr was conveyed to each, as to enabl, them to accomplish the ohj hjeets to which each of then Wa9 best adapted.

 ThrFEpERALt Lttovc-ameHtv was principally to watel 5yar our Foreign Relations; ttqi of the Sa'es was aattcsiHrly 10 take care of our internal concerns.

 The Federal Government should have adequate powers to maintain the peace and the rights Of thf Union abroad; but at hcme, its office is 10 assist it binding the Union together by the benefits which il showers around It, within certain prescribed limits leaving the great mass ot lGCa matters t9 the iuris diction of the STATES. which can better uAdersaat and norepropery regulate them, Keeping this gen oral distinction in view, the Constitution bus marked down the limits of the Federal reWte aad it shoult he the duty of its authorities raisiously to preserve them. Dissolution on the one hand and consolida tion on the other, beng the extremes which are tt be carefully avoided; theConstution was so Framed and tAe Government should be so administered, a whilst the Federal power exercises it's legitimate | unctions, il should sacfedy respect the RIGHTS O the States and the rights oi the People The fcde raj Goyemneat must, therefore, ever remember, tha

 t has only certain limited powers, which arc eithe speejed ia the Constitution itsel CT which may bt ..nccessary and proper for carrying out the spec fed powers It cannot pass these limits with i'm purity itcanGet intcrpoate any powers by iorcet or tactious construction, without producing somt opposition from ke parties lo the compact, or somt fcinonstrance from the People.

 It would never do, indeed, to give an unlimited power to the Federal head over inc oca interests c the several parts Cur country covers an eXteilsv, empire Itembraees great variety of climates ant soils of occupations and Of interests The obvious danger of too much Federal Legislation is of course that it may affect these different interests in a-ye unequal degree Whilst il seeks to administer thi benefits to one section. t may impose burdens upoi another Nor does the misctei terminate here Inequality produces complaint Thesullering State become dissatisfied. One section not only murmur about the paftiaIty shown to another, but arains the Government which commits if. The Union itsel ; is less respected, because of the injustice which displays. The only way of preventing these inil ries and these complaints is 10 administer the Gov ernmcntwithin the limitations of ,he instrument aH in spirit which Is calculated to equaliza as far possible, its benefits and its burihens amongst tn !; whole UNION. In no other way can we prevent tn Federal Government from rushing into schemes c !; consolidation, the States into a tendency toward dissolution. If We permit the Federal Goyernmen systematically to adopt any rule of construction which may enlarge iis powers al the expense of tn States, of the people-if Congress may adopt an measure which they may fancy to be "necessary an proper, then power may be so augmented as, in tn progress of time, 10 amount 10 consolidation Then ' we must extend the Executive Department to carr out t}esc extended powers; Hen, as one c1 he ccle brated resolutions of one of the first States in in s Union showed in 90, we should gradually merr : Unto limited monarchy, flushed with power an fortified by patronage; or we must fly 10 the othe fatal alternative-we must dissolve the Uxtov itseI to recover our liberties that Union which has beer consecrated by the blood of our forefathers: tha Union, which is so necessary to preserve our tran
