KENTUCKY POLITICS.

COUNTY MEETING. The citizens of

Fayette countr, pursuant to public notice, nsM'ittMed in the Methodist church, in Lexington, on Monday, the 24th of February. The object of the meeting having been f fated, Col. Wm. Rusell was, by a unanimous voice, called to the chair, and A. W. V. Parker, appointed scc'y to the meeting. Oa motion made and seconded, the fol

lowing gentlemen were appointed a committee to prepare and offer resolutions, expressive of the sense of this meeting, in regard to the act of our general assembly, abolishiifr the old and establishing the new Court of Appeals,, viz: Titos. Shelby, E. I. Winter, John C. Richard-on, Sen. and D. Barton. The committee, after consultation, made report of the following resolutions: .Resolved, That this meeting consider the republican form of government under which we live, purchased at an expense of the best hiood of our country, a treasure of such inimable value, that to preserve it pure and unpolluted as it was received by us, we would, if necessary, expend the last dollar, and pour out freely our blood.

Resolved. That we hold as a self-evident

truth, those governments to be the most des-

potic, which are the least restricted in the t xercise of their functions; and those the

most tyrannical in their nature, which re

tains the power of making and executing

laws in the same hands.

Resolved, That under the most decided

conviction of their correctness, we will firm

ly support those principles contended for by the patriots' of the revolution, which recognize the people as the sole depository of sovereign power, and determine their will as expressed through the constitutions, to be the supreme law of the land. ! Resolved, That the separation of the pow-j ers of government into three distinct branches, confiding each to a separate body of magistracy, and prohibiting any from exercising powers properly belonging to the other as defined in the constitution, is essential to the preservation of liberty. Recohed, That the power of making laws is deposited exclusively in the hands of the Legislature by the constitution, as the authoritative power of expounding them when made, rests with the judiciary; both derive their authority from the sovereign people, neither depending upon the other for the

free exercise of its functions. Therefore,

we view with indignation, regardless of the source from whence it emanates, all attempts

to render one department of the government subservient to the will of another as tending to subvert our freedom, and establish on its ruins, a despotism in form, with a tyrranny in practice. Resolved, That although we would have yeilded to the will of the Legislature, in removing the Judges of the Court of Appeals in a manner prescribed by the constitution, we cannot acquiesce in the late act of that body, entitled "an act to re-organize the

Court of Appeals," but are impelled by a solemn sense of duty to ourselves and pos

terity, to enter our protest against the measure, as a palpable violation of the sacred

charter of our liberty, not to be endured by

irecmen. Resolved, That this meeting confidently maintain, that John Boyle, William Owsley, and Benjamin Mills, are, by the constitution, Judges of the Court of Appeals, any thing in the late act re-organizing the court, to the contrary, notwithstanding. And that they are, in dutv to the sovereign authority and in obedience to their oaths to support the

constitution, bound to remain tirm at their

post?. Resolved, That we hold the man who would creep into power, or promote his pecuniary interest through a breach in the constitution, unworthy of public or private confidence an unlit nssoiate for irecmen. Resolved, that the sentiments expressed in the protest of the minority in the late Legislature, has our hearty concurrance ; and the refusal of the majority to give publicity to a decorous expression of opinion, was an act

worthy the worst days of Jonn Adam's reign. Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the chairman and secretary, and published in the Monitor ami Reporter. W. RUSSELL, CVi. A. W. P. Parker, Sec'y.

which elicited the note from the honourable gentle

he made the expression above alluded to in lhe letter. The General denies ever having made it, so the matter rests with Mr. Willis for explanation.

February 22d, 1825. V Sir In a late number of the Argus of Western America, you are represented to have said at Lexington, on your way to this City, in November last, upon the authority

From the Huntsville Democrat. Kentucky. Not beinej citizens of Kentucky, it becomes us to speak of her municipal policy with delicacy and respect. It is a subject indeed about which we have no right to meddle, but as a sister we can but feel for her prosperity, and notice her abberrations. The state is divided into two partics, the one called the relief party, and the other the court party. The relief party have the ascendency, and are advocates for the

supremacy of the people; the court party contend that the minority are a better sort

of people, and are entitled to rule the others.

They have setup the Judges as the supreme

authority in the land, and contend that they

have a right to abrogate.all the laws which the people, through the Legislature, pass,

and thus arrogate to themselves a power ab

solute and ur.ccnfrrolable. A great struggle has lately ensued between the parties, in

which the court party have met with a total defeat, and the Judges been dethroned.

This defeat seems to have produced a state

of phrenzy and infatuation in the court par-

general system, have made & very full and satisfactory report on that subject; a copy of which, we have been politely furnished by our Representative from this district. The Board have examined, surveyed, and made estimates of excavation, &c. on the following routes, during the last season:

1st. One to unite the Chesapeake and Ohio, through the Valley of the Potomac, on the eastern,

and that of the Youghiogheny on the western side

of the Allegheny Mountain.

2d. One to unite the Ohio with Lake Erie, through the Vralley of Big Beaver Creek, on the southern side, and several directions across the coun

trv which slopes to the Lake, on the northern.

3d. One to unite the Ohio & Schuylkill, through

the V alleys of the Allegheny river, Kiskirainita3,

great and little Conemaugh rivers, on the western

'side, and Juniatta and Susquehannah, on the cast

ern, to a point below Harrisburgh, and from thence

to Philadelphia, through Lancaster county.

4th. One to unite the Delaware and Raratan,

through the Valleys of Crosswick Creek, and across

the Assunpich, on the western side, and the Valley

of Lawrence's Brook, on the eastern.

5th. One through the isthmus of Cape Cod, from

Hyannus harbor to Barnstable harbor.

6th. One to unite Buzzard's Bay and Barnstable

Bay: by Monument river, and Scussett river.

7th. One to unite rsarragansett Bay and Boston

harbour, from Taunton river to Weymouth landing.

These are all great and important improvements,

and of general interest to the whole Union; and as

the constitutional right of congress to enter upon a

general system, has been pretty clearly decided during the last session, may we not hope the important work will be speedily entered into, and progress

with all the energy and industry that the means of

tbeUnited States will warrant, or the public good

of Mr. William T. Willis that "forty
