NOTE,—This immense concern is on the corner of Sixth and Market streets, and occupies the whole block from Market to Minor streets. The ab ve sketch gives an excellent idea of the appearance and magnitude or the
house which in every way is just what a Clothing House ought to be. The stock of both Men and Boys' wear is as large as any in the United States, both of Ready Made goods and fabrics to make to order ; and the splendid
system by which the house is conducted-.not only warrants Reasonable Prices, but insures Reliable Garments. The reliable character of the house being well established, their business is not confined to the city, as orders by
mail are filled with care and forwarded to all parts of the country.

these acts are as plainly unconstitutional as any
that can be imagined," has transcended' the just
limits g,f- his constitutional prerogative to "give to
Congress information of the 'state of the - Union,
and recommend to their consideration such mea
sures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;"
that the use of such language by him -in his official
character is, in- our jutiginent,calculated to derogate
from the rightful anthority olthe law-making pow
er of the nation, and to incite insubordination if not
violent resistance to laws which •it is his duty as
President to take care shall be faithfully executed;
that as between the Congress and the President-the
former is the exclusive and final judge in the first
instance of the conformity of its acts to the Consti
tution, and that whenever any act has been passed
by two-thirds of both Houses over the Prohdent'S
objections, any subsequent official denouncement of
it by him-as unconstitutional, in the absence of any
adjudication to that - effect:by the Supreme-Judicia
