the example already set by ether states and recommend one of the candidates to the people, that recommendation will have a powerful weight and influence on the election, not only in this but every other state, where the strength of the two candidates are so nearly equal," Now-wo enter car protest against such interfer ences by the legislature; because we do not believe any such authority is delegated to them by their constituents. A re

presentee, in the accepted sense of the word, represents the will of his constituents, and so far may be called a public servant; but so soon as ho transcends these bounds, and claims the right of dictating to them, he turns master, and virtually becomes an usurper of the rights of the sovereign power the people, who have a right to call him to an account for his conduct. But there is another, and a stronger, argument against such legislative medling. Mr. "Obscurity" says that a declaration by the people's representatives would have a powerful effect in inducing other states to follow the same course. Now, peradventure the people should in their wisdom decide contrary to the dictates of the legislature, would not the opinion spread a-broad by it, working such i . . . -

the friends of each candidate for president

m the legislature ol this state, previous to the election in 1821, will be sufficient. At that time Mr. Adams was the most popu! ar man iu that body, and Mr. Clay next; Gen. Jackson had but 3 or 4 members in his favor, and yet he got the vote of the state. The result here shows the folly of trusting to legislative selections, in most instances, .'is the strongest man in that

' body may be the weakest among the peo

ple. We have no objection to the members of the legislature meenting in their individual capacity, and resolving en the propriety of electing this or that man to any otlice; this they have a right to do as citizens interested in the issue, but as to making these proceedings matters of official record, and holding it up as the voice of the people, we, in their name, must put our vco upon such interferences.

David Cusick, an Indian of the Tuscarora tribe, has recently published in Lewiptown, Niagara county, N. Y. a book entitled "Sketches of the ancient history of

j the Six Nations comprising, first, a tale of

tne foundation of the Great Island, now North America, the two infants born, and the creation of the universe. 2d. A real account of the settlement of North America, and their dissensions. 3d. Origin of the kingdom of the Five Nations, which was called a long house; the wars, fierce animals, &c." Cusick, who has thus placed himself at once among the literati of our country, has embodied in his work the traditions of his nation, aud given a most interesting narrative to the public, told as we gather, in the phraseology peculiar to the people of his complexion.
