THE SIGHS OF A DESPEPTIC. AIR: "O no! I'll never mention hita." Oh no I'll never touch a bit, Twa only made to hurt. .My lips arc now forbid to taste The once beloved desert. With tarts on tarts they worry me, My appetite to whet! Rich puddings seem to smile on me, But ah! I can't forget! They bid me taste the pumkm pie, "Made light as pie can be;" But were it ten times lighter still, It would not do for me! 'Tis true that oft as I survey The dainties round me set, My heart with inward longing yearns; But ah! I can't forget! They tell me apple dumpling's nice I sigh, and turn away. They hint tis love that ails me, But heed not what they say. Like perhaps the love-lorn wight, May sigh and groan and fret; But if he feels what I have felt, He never can forget! LETTER VI. To the People of the United States. further usurpations proposed by the Bank a: 1, Senators Nature ot the Executive power in the Government of the United States. Countrymen: In my last I endeavored to show what the Treasury of the United States, in the meaning of the constitution and laws, really is. r The law creates a Treasurer, and makes it his duty to 'keen' the public monevs: and when so kept, they are in the Treasury, from which they cannot be drawn, "but in consequence of nppropri ations" by Congress. It is Congress, therefore. that make the Treasurer, that make the Treasury, and that make the appro Driatiuns. The President can only ap point the Treasurer, take care that he faithfully execute the laws prescribing his .luting nnd sofi that no moneys be drawn out of his keeping butby authority of law The Treasurer, however, although the officer whose keeping is the Treasury, and whose existence, under some name, cannot be dispensed with, is under the system es tablished by law, a subordinate officer. The Secretary of the Treasury is declarCU l" I'v! lim ivu - j nnd the Treasurer acts under his lawlu instructions. It is in relation to the Secretary and the power of the President to control him, that the present controversy has arisen. Bv means, not yet disclosed, the Presi dent" was induced to appoint, as a Secre tnrv of the Treasury, a week, obstinate man. wholly in the interests of the Bank United States. An irreconcilable difference f opinion, as to his duties and voonnnQlliilitics. soon arose between him and the President. Sensible of the iro nrorrit'tv of remaining in the cabinet, and it t!o same time acting in opposition to the views of the President, he promised to roi rn if the diligence should not cease When the time for redeeming this pledge nrrivrd. he refused to resign, confessec that he had been insincere in giving the nromie. and became as thorough an ad vorateof the interests of the Bank in the councils of the President, as it he had been TPtp-ned bv a fee. Having shown him 6eit to bo a hypocrite confessed, setting up for independence "f the President, that he mirrht nntert tlu' 15a nu in its abuses ai.u con untions.he vvs dismissed irum the sta tien to hich he had recently been ap pointed. In filling up the vacancy, tin Pi cedent took n mn whom he knew to be honett and incorruptible, and of the same rnmion as himself in relation to the con duct of the Bank and the duty of the jrovcrnir.cnt towards it. 1 he consequence vac that the depositee of public monev were directed to be matte in me state Banks ins'ead ot the Bank of the United States. For the removal of one Secretary and the appointment an other under these circumstances, twenty-six Senators resolved, that the President 'has assumed upon hinisHilf authority and power not conferred b the constitution and laws, but in derogation of both. Bnt the Senators in the interest of the Bvnk of lb-: Unieed Slates were not dis posed to be content wi:h thus usurping the pover of the limine of Representative, and deriving the President of his constitution it riglits. This only showed resentment tor the oust; but protection for their client future, was of much uvre importance. To keep in otVice hereafter every deluded or corrupt instrument of the rrreat corporation whom an honest Presi.'eiit might be induced to appomt, was a "ciHiS'imtualina devoutly to be wishej.1'1-. To uccotnpii-h it, Mr. Clay opeuK pro. ricked to change th- vustituiiou, b other .i w 'in.. i yes btl 'US OI in oinaie. iuicc itKg Jjof.pMhe denunciatory resoluition parsed, lie "tl- red :.i 'her set of resolutions two of u ar as f jilows, viz: u liaolvcd, That the constitution of the

" United States docs not vest in the Prcsi-lahuse a power, they can take it away by j

" dent power to remove, at hi3 pleasure, of- " ficers under the Government ot the u- " nited States, whose offices have been es tablished by law. 'all instances of appointment to office by " the President by and with the advise and " consent of the Senate, other than diplo- " matic appointments, the power of remo- " val shall be exercised only in concur- " rencc with the Senate; and, when the "Senate is not in session,that the President " may suspend such officer, common ica- " ting his reasons for such suspension to "the Senate at its next succeeding session, "and if the Senate concur with him, the "officer shall be removed: if it do not "concur with him, the officer shall be res tored to office. Tims rpsobitions. nalpablv amending hp. constitution, bv taking from the Presi dent a power he has exercised under that authority for fifty-four years, have not been adoDted: but they are predicated on tne same principle as that which has been adonted . To understand the extent of the ' . . 1 . - A. ' C? usurpations wnicn tne ivveuiy-six cwudtors have committed and proposea, it is necessary to advert to the constitution it self, and to the meaning ot it as understood by those who framed and adopted it. That instrument divides tne powers ested in the General Government into hree department, the Legislative, Execut ive, and Judicial. Ut the Incentive it sas , "The Executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America" He shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint, ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, Judged ot the su preme Court, and all other officers ot the United States, whose appointments are not otherwise provided for, and which shall bo established by law. But Congrss mnv. iv law. vesi ine annoimnem ui i .i : . ,.r such interior officers as they think -" - 7 - - - . ... proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments." "The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior." " The President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for and con viction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.'7 These are the only modes of appoint ment and removal expressly mentioned in the constitution. The tenure by which other offices than Judges shall hold is not stated, nor is any mode of removal point ed other than impeachment. The Congress of lb9 was tho first which met under the Constitution. It w as composed in a great degree of men who had participated in torming and adopting it, and were certainly more competent to understand its meaning than the enlightened attorneys of the Bank of the United States, after a lapse of" fifty-four years! When that Congress met, there was in fact no executive power. A President had been elected, but had not been installed. A quorum of the House of Representatives did not appear, and they adjourned from day today, from the 4th of March to the 1st of April 17S9. It was not until the 20;h April that the President was inaugurated Even then he was a limuless trunk, uutil Congress gave him hands to work vvith,by establishing executive offices and enacted laws for him to execute. He was commander in chief of the Army and Navy ; but there were no army and navy for him to command. He was command erof the militia when called into the service of the United States, but there was no law authorizing such a call. He was authorized to require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, &lc. but no such departments existed. He was clothed with power to grant reprieves and pardons ; but there were no courts to convict. In fine, there was scarcely an execu'ive function which he could perform, except to "iiive to Congress intormatioii of tht state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient1 Many men fall into great errors in their modes of thinking in relation of the executive power of the United States. It has nothing in it original or inherent; but it results entirely fiom the constitution and laws, and chiefly from the latter. The constitution created nothing for it to operate upon, and gave it no means of effecting any end. Without legislation, it is a dead body. It only acquires life and power as Congress gives it. The sole object of its creation was to execute the acts of Congress. The President cannot raise a dollar, nor enlist a soldier, nor a sailor, nor appoint a Judge or other civil or militarv

Were they to repeal all laws laving duties or taxes, could he raic a dollar! " The truth is, the constitution gave form to the Gov eruinent,but Congress 'breathed into it the breath of life." On that body the President is dependent for every thmor iit hi, eh ction. it he mis v'HI llllli UUl 3 coiutiuc a law, they can arc-d it, If hs

stimcd. In fine, they can destroy every office they have created, and leave him a limbless trunk, as they found him. But if Congress pass a law, it becomes, ipso facto, the duty of the President to fcec that it be faithfully executed. If they establish an office it is his right and duty to fill it, unless it be of an inferior descrintion. and the power be expressly vesfed in the courts of justice, or head of De partments. If Congress create an armband navy, it is his right and duty to com mand it These rights and duties Con cress Connot take from him otherwise but bv a reDcal or alteration cf the law. Iney cannot establish an office and fill it them-, selves. They cannot create an army or navy and command it themselves. To do so would be a palpable violation of the constitution. The Executive power of this Government, therefore, is not that fearful engine which it is considered to be in Europe, where all sovereignty is supposed to reside originally in the King, and the liberty of the subject to be a concession of Royal favor. Our Executive has no power which precedes the law or lives beyond it All his encroachments and abuses upon any particular point, are ended at once by a repeal of the law from which he de rived the power which he perv erts to im proper purposes. In my next I shall take up the proceed ings in the Congress of 17S9 and show how the Fathers of the Republic under stood the Constitution both in regard to the pewerof removal, and the nature of the Treasury Department; from which the usurpations committed and proposed by the Bank Senators will be made most conspicuous.

of intillcctaal improvement, sunshine and

rain, the changing seasons all the delights of nature, the gifts of providence, the bles sings of his condition, are nothing they cannot content him. An hour's pain out weighs an age of repose; a momentary disappointment overbalances years of suc cess, and a single atom of trouble is ot more account than a world of joy. Wretched man! he lives only to complain and murmur at the allotments of Heaven. He would "Snatch from his hand the balance and rod Rejudp;e his justice, and be the God of God. Not all the riches, and honors and pleasures of the world, could they be concentrated in the lot to such a man, would ren der him happy. The great evil is within himself. His heart is the seat ot its own torment. He is unreconciled to God, dis contented with his condition, and blind to the means of his own happiness. Happy are they who drink from the fountain ot contentment. Their thank offerings rise acceptable to God, and their patience over comes every evil. Oh let us not murmur against God, but learn like Paul, un whatsoever condition we are there in to be content." Independent Messenger. Treatmeiil of D'.mcslic Animals. Keep up such a sort of social and friendly intercourse with tenants of your stables, barn yards, and even your pig stye, that they may be us kittens, and prick up their ears with joy and gratitude, when ever you approach them. Animals will not thrive even on custard and apple pie if they must eat their allowance with fear and trembling, expecting every moment to be all annihilated by a cross keeper: who, we are sorry to say, is sometimes more of a brute than any quadruped un der his care. Besides, if any of your stock should be sick or lame, and uecd doctoring, you can better handle and give them prescriptions, if they are accustomed to kind and familiar treatment, than if harshness and bad usajre had rendered them as wild as partridges, and cross as catamounts.
