appointing to office, which was intended to be vested in the President and Senate, may be rightly exercised by him, because an exception was introduced into the constitu- tion to guard against emergencies, whereby the President was authorised 10 fillsRacan- cies during the recess of the Senate, 40 con- tinue until the close of it's session. Allow this to become the settled construction. end nothing is left of our free government but its name. That which is now attempted as an experiment will hereafter become a precedent. For myself, often as I have sustained the character of Andrew Jackson -often as have praised his victorious a- achievements on the banks of the Mississip- pi, cannot sustain him in these doctrines. Had he defended every post and point, from one end of tue continent to the other,' with the same galluntry he displayed a9, New Orleans, could not and would not consent to yield to him, as the reUdrd, tho liberties of the American people. Thet ground assumed leads to despotism. in its worst form-it substitutes, for law, the nn- restrained will of one man, and that too under color of a written constitution not capable of being changed by the voice of the majority. 4 H

 It is immaterial whether our present po- sition has arisen from course of honest; but erroneous reasoning, emanafing from the mind of ;le President, or whether we have been driven to it by a set of men who surround and infest the Presidents man- sion, the danger is the same-our duty to go 10 the rescue is equally strong.'

 The duty also of coming forward at tho pending election is thus strongly enforced. We recommend it to the conscience of ev- cry Whig who may read it: Although the election is for members of Congress only, yet it in fact will decide whether the freemen of this powerful mem- Der of the Union will sustain the assump- tions of power exercised by the President, or the corruption and prodigsiity exhibited in different departments of the govern ment. If a majority of votes is cast in fa- vor of the Whig ticket, we may rest assur- ed that the country is safe; that the con- siituiion and the laws will still bear sway that ambition, ~i.hodt corresponding me- rit, cannot elevate even native of New. York to the Presidency

 HoMER.--To analyse the qualities of Honier's genius would happily be a super fluous task. No student of general litera- ture is ignorant of these-of his sublimity and pathos, his tenderness and simplicity, his inexhaustible vigor, that seems to revel in the endless display of prodigious ener- gies. The universality of his powers is great in any one thing; he is greatest in all things. He imagines with equal ease the terrible, the beautiful, the mean, the loath- some he paints them with equal force.- In his descriptions of external nature, in his exhibitions of human character and pas- sion, no matter what the subject, he ex- hausts its capabilities. His pictures are true to the minutest touch his men and women are made of flesh and blood. They lose not jot of their humanity for being cast in heroic mould. He transfers himself into the bosoms of those whom he brings into action i; masters the interior springs of their fspiritual mechanism and makes them move, look, speak, and do, exactly as they would in real circumstances. If IfShakspGare appears to surpass him ih this particular, it is only because the shades of character have been multiplied, and the expressions of passion varied since the time of Homer, by widened range of circumstances, and an increased diversity of manners and condi- tions. But how ridiculous to suppose that such an attribute could be the joint proper- ty of several contemporary poets! When

 it has been proved that the characters of Lear and Othello were made up of patch- work, it may be believed that those of He len and Achilles were eked out by the con- tributions of different minds.

 Io6acco.-Cowper. tbe correctness of whose moral and physical senses we believe was never doubted, even when out of his senses, had loug since pronounced its cha racter, and pointed to good use for it 1: and we confess it has ever appeared to us a melancholy proof of the bad taste of man. kind, that they have paid no more asten- Etion to it:

 l "Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoysS 1 Unfriendly to soceiy's chiefjoys:

 | Thou art indeed drug the gardener waniss | To poison -Sermn, that nfests hs plants; But are we so to wt and beauty blind,

 l As to despise the glory of our kiad,

 | And show the finest minds and farest forms As little mercy as the grasbs and ,Oorms"

 But to get them to take it, tint is tho diff. cuhy. They will fly from it. run from it., or crawl from it, according to their grade in the scale of being but none of them are so low and stupid as to swallow it. Some Ona haa lhnl;lv thn,oht that # &hnnn sa wn
