To the Editore of the Patriot and Union
GENTratuzu :—Oa account 'of unavoidable
causes I am prevented from furnishing you
with the numbers of `"Luther Martin" as
speedily as I intended to do, and there will be
some delay at present; but if spared I will
complete them as my time will admit.

STATE RIGHTS AND STATE ROEDER—No. 4.
To His Excellency A. G. Curtin, Governor of
Pennsylva,nia
Rixezerze SIR :—ln my No:3 I referred to
the feet that, in 1792, the friends of a monar
chical government in the Senate of the United
States at that time, attempted to follow the cus
toms of royal governments by having the
President's head and name, &0., stamped on
each gold and silver COM alta that, the Federal
Judiciary, in the same year, attempted to
coerce State rights in the case of Georgia.
This was in accordance with the teachings of
the Vice President, John Adams ; and we have
the autberity of the late President, James
Monroe, in confirmation of numerous facts,
long •since recorded as part of our history,
" that monarchical principles were not enter•
urinated by the revolution, and that a portion
of the Whigs had struggled for independence,
but not for republican liberty." This is true.
For 'Mr. Adams, the elder, had labored, and,
was among the great advocates of the monar
chioal party. He had labored with great zeal
and persevering industry to establish inde
pendence, and, in _the - dawn of that indepen
dence, with no less zeal and ability.to incul
nate monarchical principles. Those who are not
familiar with the discussions of 1797-8-9,
will better understand these facts by perusing
some extracts from his book, entitled "Defence
of the American Constitution," written in the
years 1788-7-8, and immediately before the
organization of the convention which adopted
the present Constitution of the United States,
and for the purpose of operating-on the minds
of the American people, and especially upon
the members of the expected convention, in
the formation of a government for the union
of the States. The sentiments there expressed
will show what sort of a government he would
have given us, and esp%ially what were his
views of -a Democratic government. I will
give a few. of them:
He says: "The people in all. nations are
naturally divided into two sorts, the gentlemen
and the simple men, a word which is here
chosen to eignify the common. people." * *
"By the common people we mean laborers,
mechanics, husbandman and merchants. in
general, who pdrsue tbeir • occupations and
industry without any knowledge in liberal art e
and sciences, or in anything but their own
trades and pursuits." Vol. 8, p. 458. "The
diefluedenit of poor and rich ire as necessary
in states of considerable extent (such AS the
United States) as labor sad good government;
the poor are destined to labor, and the rich, by
the advantage of education, independence and lei
sure, are qualified for superior stations." Vol.
1, p. "It le the true poliey.of the cam -
"non people to place the whole -Executive power
in the hands of one man." Vol. 3, p. 46Q.
"In future ages, if the present States become
a great import, their own feelings - at.d- good
sense Will dictate to them-wbat - to do ; they
may make transitions to a nearicr , resemblance of
the British Constitution " Same vol., p. 71.
"Mankind have universally . discovered that
ehancewas preferable to a corrupt choke, and.
have trusted- Preeidenteli rather Wes. them
selves. First Magistrates and Senators- had
better be made hereditary at once than that the
people be universally debauched and bribed."
Same vol , p. 283. tt Sobriety, abstinence and
serenity were never rental kable characteristics
of democracy, or the democratic branch or
mixture in any constitution. They have often
been the characteristics of aristocracy and
oligarchy." Same vol., p. 344. "Nowhere,
not in the completest despotism, does human
nature show Peen' ao completely depraved. so
nearly approaching the equal mixture of bru
tality and deviliem, as in the last stages of
such a democracy." Same vol., p: 329.
We might quote every page of these volumes .
with the same result. But these quotations
conclusively prove, not only Mr. Adams's pre
ference of the monarchical system, but of his
inveterate hatred of rept:Minn government.
Entertaining these principles, as soon as Pres
ident Washington made known his determina
tion to retire at the end of his second term,
Mr. Adams covertly laid his plans to become
his successor. He succeeded, and on the 4th
of March, 1797, took the oath of office, and
entered upon the duties of the President's of
bee, ThonMe ffereon being elected Vice Pres
ident. No sooner was Mr. Adams seated in
the Presilential chair, than he exerted the
whole power Of his administration to establish
his favorite doctrines. Offices were given to
none but the advocates of his doctrines. A
political badge, the black cockade, WM intro
duced, by- whioh his partisans could be known.
He had the whole patronage of the government
of the Unittd States in his hands. The legis—
lative power was used to muzzle the press and
stop the freedom 'of dieoussion. Editors of
newspapers were punished by fine and impri
sonment; and in some inatedotte, wore Willey
flogged 'at whipping posts fur sordtiniziog the
conduct of public men. The Constitution un
dermined, there remained no sufficient barrier.
to consolidation ,and the establishment of pH
eileged.orders, Oboes for lite, and tree heredi
iary succession. Indeed Mr. Adams bpealy de
clared _while in the:Presidential chair, to Mr.
Taylor, of Va., and Mr Landon, of New Hemp
-shire; that "be hoped, or expected to see the'
day when his: Teller end his friend Mr.Gibie

lie kept a diary of passing events, and a
portion of the record of daily occurrences has
been taken from its depository—where it had
better been left—and exposed to the light of
day, by a member of his family. In this diary
the compromise by which the Constitution was
established, and without which it could never
have been established, is denounced in the fol
lowing language : " The impression produced
upon my mind is, that the Constitution of the
United grates is morally and politically vicious."
Again : " Benjamin,portioned above his breth•
ren, hits ravened as a wolf; in the morning he
has devoured the prey, and at - night he has di
v.ided the spoils." This means that the South
has fattened upon the North, as the wolf is
gorged with his prey. He pronounces this
judgment upon the land of Washington, of
Patrielcilenry, of. Jefferson, of Madison, of
Marshall, of Monroe, of Jackson, and upon the
land of a host of her statesmen and warriors,
as true and tried as in field or cabinet ever
maintained the honor of their eountry in times
as-perilous as any country ever encountered
and survived.
But, sir,..at this tithe he considered the whole
executive power "placed in the hands of one
man," and he procured his Congress and Senate.
to enact the infamous. and unconstitutional
Alien and Sedition laws. The Alien law was
passed and approved: by President Adams on
the 25th June, 1798. The Ist section begins
in these words "Bs it enacted,. Sto , That it
shall be lawful for the President of the United
States, at any time during the continuance of
this act, to order all such aliens as he shall
judge dangerous to the peace and safety of the
United States, or shall hare reasonablegroundo
to suspect are concerned in any treasonable or
secret machinations against the government
thereof, to depart out'of the territory of the
United States, within such time as shall be ex
pressed in such order, Ito. And in case any alien ,
so ordered to depart, shall be found at large
within the United States, after the time limited
in such order for his departure, &e., he shall,
on conviction thereof, be imprisoned for a term
not exceeding three years, and shall never after
be admitted to become a citizen of the United
States.". The 2d Emotion empowered " the
President of the United States, whenever he
may deem it necessary for the public safety,
to order to be removed out of the territory
thereof, any alien who may, or shall be in
prison in pursuance of this act," &a., "and if
any alien so removed, or sent otu of the United
States by the President, shall voluntarily re
turn • thereto, unless by permission of the
President of the United States, such alien, on
conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned so long
as, in the opinion of the President, the public
.safety may require."
From these extracts we find the Congress of
the United States unconstitutionally delegat
ing to the Executive head of the United States
the whole powers of the Executive, Legistethe
and 'Judicial branches; thus converting the
Government into a doenotigni, mitre/led by
single min. He is judge,. jury and executioner;
his mere suspicions sufficient to banish, exile,
fine and imprison any alien, without trial, proof
or hearing. The countrymen of Lafey ette, ont
pinery, Degalb, &0., are his victims. -
I beg of your Excellency not to conclude that
you are reviewing many of the acts of the pre
sent Federal Executive. We shall fairly com
pare these acts hereafter.
But let us proceed, by quoting the 8000ild
section of what is known as the Sedition Law
of John Adams. It is in these words :
4 . Sao 2. .That if any person shall Write,
print, tuter,or publish,or shall cause or procure
to be written, printed, uttered, or p . ublished, or
shalt knowingly and willingly stnt.t or aid in
writing, printing, uttering, or publishing any
false, scandalous and malicious writings against
the Government of the United States or either
House of Congiess or. the President of the Uni
ted States, with intent to defame the said Gov
ernment or either House of the . said Congress
or the said president, or to bring them ot-titlier
of them into contempt or disrespect, or to ex
cite against them or either of them or any
of them the hatred of the good people of
.the. United States, &0., such persona, being
thereof convicted before any court of the Uni
ted States having jurisdiction thereof, shalt be
pantithvd by is fine not cacooding tree thellettad
dollars, and by imprisonment not exceeding
two years.
" Approved July 14, 1798.
" Joun ADAMS."
Your Excellency knows that Thomas Jeffer-
Son was the Vice President at this time. He
could not take adiantage of this section if so
minded ; but he could be villified and slandered
with impunity so far as the Sedition act was
concernrd. It was only the President that was
shielded by this law. Jefferson was a terror to
those who were determined to establish an
American monarchy, and they took advantage
of 'thin. exclusion of the Vice President, end
poure 1 out their vials of villifioation and slan
der on Ilia devoted head, both in prase and
verse. They chayged him as Elaine the ally of
Prance ; a French Jacobin ; the " paramour of
Dusky Silly ;" " the seducer of Mrs. Walker;"
the " Salt Philosophei;" the " vendor of 'his
mulatto children ;" " Tommy Red Breeches,"
&c., &e. But be had no redress under, John
Adama's Sedition . Lew—nor had any other
Democrat:
But let us see what was done under these
acts. A standing army was raised and orgqn
.
iz44l, under the ostentatious pretext, of a war
With•Franoe. and officered by the high-toned
sprigs or federalism. No Democrat would be
trusied—the black coehmle was the loyal badge
at that time--enormous taxes and stamp duti*a
were laid, as at the present time. Thus pre
pared, President Adams Jtommeneed hie ty
ranny nrtell the people, fortified , by his Alien
and Sedition laws, because they would not, b ow

Mrs. Brotherton, the author of "Arthur

un
der the suggestive title or " Itoepootttble sin

There has been much inquiry about the Mr.
Conway who recently waited on Mr. Mason,
the rebel commissioner in London, and repre
sented himself as authorized by the anti
slavery party of the United States to engage
for a cessation of the war on a basis of a sepa
ration of the States, provided the south would
emancipate its slaves. A New England paper
says : " Mr. M. D." Conway is a Republican of
the Sumner and Wilson pattern. Re is the
editor of a paper called the Boston Common
wealth, which was established avowedly to aid
in securing the re-election of Mr. Sumner to
the Senate."
General Meade, the new leader of the Army
of the Potomac, is a grandson of George Meade,
of Philadelphia, su eminent Irish- American
merchant, whose firm, (Meade and Fitssint
mons) in 1781, contributed ten thousand da
lars to a fund for the relief of the famishing
army of General George Washington.
I hear General Meade spoken of very highly,
(Gaye aCorrespondent_) He 'is quite popular
ut the army, and is said ter have its entire con
fidence. He is a resident of Washiogton, and
graduated at the old Georgetown College,
th ugh in the Army Register he is credited to
Pennsylvania. General Meade, while in.com
mend of the Fifth corps, was at one time, since
the battle. Chancellorsville, iniged
far his present position by certain partien tin=
favorably disposed to Gen. Hooker. - Major
General Meade is described as a tall, slim, gray
bearded man, wearing glass• s, an old slouched
hat, s blue blouse with corduroy pants tucked
into his long jack boots. He is •ungainly in
looks and actions, plain of speech and familiar
gust free in conversation when . riot occupied
with linsineaa The Whole style of the' man is
unassuming and plain even to sevetity:
