is the order of the day. That part of;

the king' speech relating to IreUnd has afforded no satisfaction to the people, and Mr O'Conncll, in consequence, has determined on declaring open war upon the ministry, unless, as he states, they mean to do something more for Ireland iban what is inferred from the King's speech, ministers intend to do. At a large meeting of the Dublin Political Union, Mr. O'Connel made a splendid speech, in which he declares that within a week he will pull down the banner of reform, and set up that of repeal. He inveighs bitterly against that part of the king's speech, which says that internal

peace and oider alone are wanting to ren ! der Ireland prosperous; and maintained! that the ministers promised nothing but! tithe hvs and gagging acts. 11 This speech," savs Mr O'Connel, "has dc cidc-d me; I have taken my comse, and I will wait here until alter Christmas, r.nd as soon as Parliament then nu:ets, 1 shall attend it. I will go there to iry before them the case of Ireland. But I

will not bring forward my motion so as o impede the progress of the English Reform Dill. I shall never be accused ol impeding, in any degree, the charter of freedom 'o England. But having made my display to Parliament having laboured to serve my country there, I shall return to Ireland, never to quit it again while I have existence, but to struggle, man to man, and breast to breast, to make Ireland happy, free, and independent.

prevent the consolidation ol all power iu the general government. To accomplish this object nothing like violence need be resorted to. The Judge of Gwinnet has only to disobey lhe man

date, to disregaid the rule which the!

Supreme Court nay then issue, requiring him to appear before it to answer for a contempt and, finally, to pcimit himself to be imprisoned for his disobedience. All this may take place without

commotion or bloodshed, without hazard ing the integrity of the Union; and should this course be adopted, Georgia, as a member of the confederacy, will be able, by preferring at tides of impeachment against the Court, to foroc a dis tussicn of the questions of power involved in the decision. If, in their decision, the Court has tra

velled out of the recoid; it it has made treaties at war with the constitution, the rule of its action instead of the constitution itsell; if it has overleaped the barriers erected by the ftdcral convention against encroachments cn the rights ot the States, every principle of patriotism requires that the decision shall be legally and constitutionally resisted tbat it shall be ultimately reversed, by the force of popular opinion. This may be accomplished, if Geor gia shall move with becoming wisdom

and discretion. We therefore trust she wiil abstain Irom resorting to violence; that she will jermit the Federal Court to goon ond imprison her Judge and then lake such steps as may be calculated to vindicate and maintain her right tobgis late over all persons within ber acknow

ledged limits. The adoption cf this course will produce a delay of eighteen months or two years during which period the Presi dent cannot be called cn, with propriety, to exert any portion of the military power of the country in order to carry the decision of the Court into effect. The Court must first adopt all legal measures she must exhaust her authority to enforce the decision before the President can be CEpccted to act in the premises.

The National Intelligencer of the 22

From the U. S. Telegraph. Georgia and the Sutre?rc Csrf. It may not be improper, perhaps, at the

present moment, when the decision ol the Supreme Court., in the cass ot the Missionaries, vs. the Stare ol Georgia, is being published, that publication should be given to the following extiacts from the report of Mr. Madison, in the year 1799, upon the resolutions of the Legislature of Virginia of the prece ding year. As that report was made only ten years after the organization of the present government, and Mr. Madison being generally regarded as the fa ihcr cf the Constitution, it may be considered as a cotcmporary exposition ol that instrument. It is a fatal heresy with most of the politicians of the prefent

thoriiy, as well as by the executive, cr the legislative." However true, therefore, it may bet t bat the judicial department is, in all questions submitted to it by the forms qf the constitution to decide in the last resort, this resort must necessarily bo (Itemed lhe last in relation to the auiboritics of the other departments of the Government: not in relation to the rights of the parties to the compact, ficm wh eh

the judicial as well as the o'her t'( l menis hold their delegated irusts Oo any other h)pothe9is, the dtlegatic n t f judicial power would annul the power which delegated it; and the ccntuncrce of this department with the others, irV usurped powers, m'ght subvert forever, and beyond the possible reach of any rightful umedy, the try constitution, which all were instituted to preserve." Now if the Supreme Court, in questions of disputed power between the States and the other departments of the Genera Government, aie obligatory ard fioal, what tribunal, I would ask. is to e'ecide between that depaitmmt ard the b'aics. in cases of disputed aLtroiity between t.hem The isue, between the Surreno Court as one of the departmmts of the General Government, is an impoiunt

one; and it remains to dc seen wr.ttr-cr or not she will view its decision as a usurpation of power not delegated by the constitution, or what sruounts to the same thing, whether it has tindeiiaken to sanction and give tffoct to unau.hori sed and urtcor.$iituional acts ot (he t.her departments. If the legislative and executive departments have made laws and treaties so deeply affecting ibe sovereign rights of one of the members of the confederacyas to render them unconstitutional, the Supreme Court carnot change

their character, by concurring with those departments. They remain unchanged by, and are no more binding &i&e than before the decision of that department. The Supreme Court cannot make, by its df r.ision, that constitutional, which was before unconstitutional. If therefore, the acts of congress and the treaties of the United States with the Indians", to which the Supreme C ourt undertakes to give effect, and upon

which its decision against the conatiturionality of the act of the legislature of Georgia is founded, be tiewed by Geor. gia as a dangerous invasion of her sovereign rights, not warianttd by the con stitution, she cannot, with honor to her-

' self, recede from the stard he has ta

mandate of the Supreme Court will not necessarily lead to collision between Georgia and the general government.

Court as the nnal arbiter between tne General Government and the States, without recollecting that it is one of the

departments of the Government; and that, as such, itself may assume powers not delegatedby the Constitution, and as dangerous to the reserved rights of the States, as either of the other departments. Mr. Madisou's idea seems to be, and I regard it as true doctrine, that lhe acts of one department of the government, when confined within its proper sphere, are as binding upon the Stales, as those of eilhe of the others; but that the acts nd decisions of neither (lhe judiciary as well as th executive and legislative) aie so, nhen unauthorised in the Cona'i'ttiion.
