SQTTESINOR'S ILlSAaS Saul : rr.rx c f the iV.'.'.n'r, ar.d of the House "f Kcfircscntativ?; Tho auspices under which we have again assembled, hs the servants of the best of sovfrriifnv, the tkoplk, in obedience to ! Ihe requisitions of a priceless written con stitution and the popular voice, demand from each a spontaneous tribute of profound acknowedgment to an overruling Pr -video e. for the numerous blessings of the rrir which is just coming to a el se. Vh tteer ministers to the happiness ef mankind, in all civilised nation, abounds in our beloved country, in all that uudhnini'Mif.l profusion compatable with the simpl'n iiv of rational desire. Whilst health, plenty, peaco, and prosj)crity, m uniaterruptcd continuity, constitute prominent themes for re Voicing and thanksgiving, ourselves wiih our I'cllow -eitiztns may gratul ate each e.ther, in the conscious enjoyment of all, and raise a paean of praise to the Author of all good. The universal dcvclopements of the past year, at home and abroad, on this and the ether hemisphere, are calculated to raise the whole human family still higher in the scale of creation, in their own estimation, than anticipation ever reached Mauv arc the indications, that the era has just been ushered in tor tin complete overthrow of the tnnst h itefal errors and deadly enemies of the world, and the triumph and spread of regenerated and reasonable principles, based in th- enlightem d philosophy of the nge and tlu eternal rights of man. its great meats have given biith to a simultaneous jubilee over half the globe, ami planted ch op an the thrilling soul of millions, a hope cf deliverance fiom loud oppressions and the race of kings. The press has succeeded in convincing the gnnrntd, that they were not made to be ru!"d jure d'vino; but that their rulers belong to them as servants jure hum ano. The genius of liberty, from scaring triumphant with the eagle andstar5nled banner of America. has taken her flight across the Atlantic, to career for a vvnile with the lilhes and tri-colours of France. This celebrated 11 ig, the emblem of popular .;; rcuuicu and prostrate roualiu, now waves unmolested over noble and gallant France. A rriublicivi monarchy is creeted u pontile ruins of the absolute throne of the Bourbon. A limited constitutional ki. g sways a mild sceptre, and is now delivering lectures ot practical freedom to Europe. Their force is felt, and neither the Alps nor the Pytent-es, oppose barriers to their march The spirit they breathe, has already shaken the dynasties of Furepe from the little witless despotism of llrunswick,up to the iron throae of Nicholas. Th Frank and the Hibernian, the llritian and the S;mt, the Spaniard and the (ierunn, th? Portuguese and the Netherlander, the Ih ussian and the Austrian, the Greek and the Italian, and even the cold Muscovite. rre common worshippers at her shirne. Hope is strengthened by desire, that she nav continue to brandish her fiann ig, ft mi ce oi. until civ mzed l .urone, and in time the whole earth, are ignnted with as pure a flrne. as now burns throughout the two Americas. Expressions of opinion at this ti ne. by us, on these topi 's, will be both appropri .te and cnouiragi g, as they concern the cause of general freedom and if things go on as they have commenced, (however much upon irtzrcA principles we mav deprecate a general war.) must ultimate in a signal maimer, to the advantage of our agricultural and commercial interests.

A stale taking this course must throw itself into a belligerent attitude, upon its own resources and strength. This extra constitutional course, must impose upon the violating and revolting staie, all of the responsibilities, which the safety of the balance of the parties to the cancelled compact, m iv think expedient to impose. Who is it, that cannot see the alarming pi -ture which might be here drawn, prev ntmg civil war with all its calamities? Yet in view of ail this, the doctrines of the right of a state, to secede from the union, for causes deemed sufficient, by herself, originating in an opposition to a bxed and settled poiicj ot the mujjritj from which she dissents, have received a practical scope, from the gig antic efforts now making, by popular men and states, to enforce them upon the public mind as orthodox theories of the republic, which on account of their fearful tendency, make it incumbent upon the state amhorities, at their threshold, with counter pinions, to expose their fall. icy. The Uruxd Str.tes government is neither strictly co.u'edv rated nor consolidated. The relation which the several states bear to the general government, beautifully exemplifies (what has been maliciously denominated a monster in politics, by nulhricators) an imf-cnum in imfierio. Sovereignty is the attribute of the one as well as the ether, according to the powers they respectively posses. A wise division of prerogatives to ea:h, keep all within their appropriate spheres. And in case of encroachment of cither upon th? other, it is not to be presumed, that there is no constitutional national ai biter, to sub stitute law jnd order, for anarchy, nullification, and v iolence. What a reflection it is upon the fathers of the republic, to contend, that differences between the several members of trie Union, about such great questions as commence, manufactm es, agriculture, and revenue, should be left for adjustment at the mercy of a tingle state? Or, that the laws of the ivhrJe could be render ed powerless by ore, or any less than a ma jjri'y the p irtiestolhe agreement?

To any "modus o perandi," which may be selected, that will give us Union and these measures, we will acclaim It is charged upon the friends of this policy, that they impose a tax upon certain quar ers of the countiy, in order to distribute it in bounties among themstives. How this can be, when all pai is cf the country, are equally represented in Congress and consume! s of importations, and producers, in nearly equal pr? portions to their population, is not discernable.
