No disiinct contending .powers of the govern

on the subject.
It was 'a mere dense' of an 'act of Congress,

Not to those ofthe North who had repeatedly
refused to confirm it hy extension, and who
had zealously, striven to establish other, and
incompatible regulations upon the subject:—
Atal it, as it thus appears, the supposed corn

the law they' give, of in the view of imparting
Ito if peculiar strength,malce it perpetual in
terms i4but they eannot thus Mod the con
scienee, the judgment, and the will of those'
who may succeed them, invested with similar
'
responsibilities!tud clothed with equal author-,
..its. More caretulAnvestigation may prove the
I litv(to liennsoiutd in principle. Experience‘.
may show" it . imperfect in detail and impnicti
cable in execution. And then both reason
rind right combine not merely to justify, but
require its repeal.
'rho Constitution, supreme as it is over ell
the departments ofthe government, legislistit : e,
executive, and judici , d, is open to amendment
I by its very terms ; and Congress or the States
, may in their discretion. propose amenthneuts
to it, solemn compact though it in truth is bc
, tweet, the Sovereign States of the Union. In.
the present instance ( , political; enitctment,
whirh land ceased to have legal power or author;
ity•ofany. kind, was repealed. .The,ppsitiou.
assumed, that Congress has no moral right to
coact .Bttel. repeal, . ; Mss strange enough, and
shield:o,ly so in view of the fact that the argu-

'PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
61/I:7•We gm! the President's Message
in full t oday, according to custom—not
by reason of any merit in the document it- ,
self. Smarting under the terrible rebuke
of his administration; by the free veters of
the North, President Pierce descends from
the digrity of an Eiecutive'elficer, and
catching up:the" le* 'part i iian'slang of the
bar-room and cock-pit, belchesjr,,,put, as
cumulative evidence of , his utter unfitness
fdr the post he sO.unwerihily ; .fie
charges those of his fellow-citizens who da
red'al the .recent Presidential election to
record their cendeuiCatieti of •his, treacher
ous betrayal •uf the cause. of freetiont---:a,
.mtifority' of the people , of the Northern
.States—with a want of fidelity to their
' constitutional obligations'and love of the
Union, and with endeavoring to ;'usurp"
the control of the Government! Never
before did President so meanly demean
himself—never so outrage the . proprieiles
of,oilicial position. John Tyler's admin
istrutiob eras •a ° disgraceful, one,• and the
chief pilot passed into' an Wantons obscu

descending to a still lower dooth of info

CONGRESSIONAL
O - The attendance in both branches of
Congress was pretty full op Nondsy.--
Committees 'Were'appointed by the Senate
and Hciuso to wait on the President, who
announced his intention to transmit his
annual message on Tuesday, at 12
clock. '
Mr. Whitfield presented himself as dole
go to elect from Kansas, and asked to be
morn in.. Mr. Grow chairman of the
committee on Territories, objected, alledg
it: g that the legislature under whose auth
ority th'e election 'for delogiito had , been
held, was a urtirpation characterised by
unprettedented tyranny and wrong, end
that the ,admission of Whitfield would, be
:regarded as a recognition by the house' of
the validity of these bogOs laws. On the
question—" Shall Mr. Whitfield be sworn
in?'-the house voted : yetus 97; nays
1„104. The balance a the day was Con
sumed in debeting.a motion to reconsider ,
1 the vote thefriends oil Whitflold aiming
to staye off Sloe' vote until some absent
Southern members Should come in.
The questicin ut Whitfield's. adtmenton
was debated in the House all day Tuesday
without'ienehitig a vote.
In the Senate a spicy debate sprung up
on a motion to print the President's Mes
sage. • Messrs. Halo, Wilson, and Trum 7
bull, reviewed with much severity the
'President's undignified and insulting at
tack on, the Republican party.
LOCOFOOO DEcYE CI
Ig2'Wu gather from two or three of
our exchanges the following articles, which
~
admirably illustrate the taste and tenden
cies of the leaders of. the L4eofoco party.
They also . sburi that the Compiler, in
comparing Fremont to a druulceu negro
vagrant, Bed intimating that the two are
about' equally fit - for President, was only a
little more vulgar, but not more malignant,
*art' o
ther exponents of his party. ...It will
,
also ,be seen that these leaders are equally
regardless of the feelings of ladies and of '
tho civil
rights of men wuo vote against
them. -Read those paragraphs, and con- ,
eider their spirit. One,of the 'featly. es in
the recent Locofoco torch-light proecssion
in Washington City is thus described in '
thO Baltimore SEM '
Immediately following this was mounted ,a
vessel, which proved to - be the "Harriet. Heuch
er Stowe." Oa her sides her de/ideation wal
tints announced, "Ho , l for Salt River with dis

as the first treason perpetrated upon earth.—
It is as old as hypocrisy itself; deeply dyed in
turpitude as the personikation of evil. New
puith indeed • Were there no tories in the
Revolution. no traitors in "the times that tried
men's souls," no Corr-boy's in '76, no Hartford
Conventionists to hatch treason during the war
of 1812, no Mexican sympathizers ,at touch
later period who would receive ' if they could,
American soldiers, with bloody hands and fir.
ni.sh.,tbem with hospitable graves—that, the
FreMent Republicamfaction oftraitorsand dis
organizers, should be termed "a new party?"
The audacity of this shameless pretence goes
a bOw-shot beyond the efforts of &rim
