,v tonally know'n as established letter Founders,
that they have now formed a co-partnership in said
business and hope from llieir united skill and expe
rience. to be able to give full satisfaction to all who
may favor them with orders.
The introduction ol machinery, in place of the te
dious and unhealthy practice ot casting type by hand,
long a desideratum tiy the European and American
Founders, was, by American ingenuity, an a heavy
expenditure of time and money, on the part of our
senior partner, fust successfully accomplished. Ex
tensive use of the machine cast letter, has fully tested
and established its superiority in every particular,
over that cast by the old process
The letter foundry business will hereafter be car
ried on by (h« parties before named, under the firm of

“ Thou hast caused the day Spring to know its place. ”
Capricious month of smiles and tears !
There’s beauty in their va-ied reign:
Emb era of Being’s hopes and fears —
Its hours ol joy. and days of pain
A false, inconstant scene is thine,
Changeful with light and shadow deep
Oft-times th clouds wiih pure sunshine
Are painted - then in gloom they sleep.
Yet is there gladness in thy hours,
Frail courier of a brighter scene—
Thou tragra t guide to buds and flow’ers,
To meadows iresh and pastures green.'
For as thy days grow few and brief,
The radient looks of spring appear—
With swelling glow, and opening leaf,
To d ck the morning of the.year.
Yes! th ugh thy light is quenched oft
With drifting showersot s rrowing rain—
Yet balmy airs and breezes soft
Are lingering richly in thy train;
And tor thy eddying gits swill come
The lay ofthe rejoicing bird,
That trie's his new and brightening plume—
’Mid the void sky’s recess: sheard.
And soon the many clouds that hang
Their solemn drapery o’erthe sky,
Will pass in shadowy folds away ;
|,o ! mark them now ! - they break—they fly,
And over earth in one broad smile
Looks forth the glorious eye of Day—
While hill, and vale, and m ean isle.
Are laughing in the breath of May.
Type of existence may’st thou be
The emblem ofthe Ciristian’s race
Through all whose trials we may see
The sunshine ol undying grace ;
The calm and heaven-enkindled eye.
The faith that mounts on ardent wing
T at looks beyond tlie o’er arching, sky.
To Heaven s undtinmed and golden spring

~ IN SENATE.
Thursday, April 17, 1834
Several messages were received from the
Presidon* <>f the United states, by Mr. D N
ei.s -n, his Private Secretary ; among them the
tollow-ng
PROTEST/.
I'o thf Senate of the United States'.
It appears by the published journal of the
Senate, that on the 26 h of December lust, a
resolution was offered by a member of the Sen
ate, which, after a protracted debate, was, <>n
the twenty eightn day of Mar h last, modified
by the mover, arid passed bv the voles ot twen
tv-stx Senators out ol forty-six,* who were
present and voted, in the lollovvmg words, viz
“ Kesolved, That the President, Hl the late
“ Executive proceedings in relation to the pob
“ lie revenue, has assumed upon himselt <tu
“ thorny and power not conferred by lie cou
“ stiiution and laws, but in derogation of both.”
Having had the honor, through the voltinta
rv suffrages of the American People, to fill the
e of President o* the Untied States during
the period which mav be presumed to have
been re erred to in this resolution, n is stifli
cientlv evident that tin- censure it inflicts was
intended for myself. Without notice, unheard
and ui tried. 1 thus find myself charged on th
records of the Senate, and tn a form hitherto
unknown tn our history, with the high crime of
violating the laws and constilufton of my
country.
It can seldom be necessary for any Depart
ment of the Goveriiment, when assailed in
conversation, or debate, or bv the s'rictures of
the press or of popular as-ernbltes, to step out
of itsordtn >rv path 'or the purpose of vindicat
ing its conduct, or of pointing out any irregu
larity or iitj ia'ice in the manner of the iiffack.
But when the chief Executive Magistrate is.
bv one of the most important branches of the
(Government, tn its ofii tai capa- ily. in a pub
he manner, and by its recorded -entenee, but
without precedent, competent authority, or jus I
cause, decl ir-’d guilty of a breach of the laws,
and constitution, it is due to his station, to pub j
he opinion, and to a proper self-respect, that
the officer thus denounced should promptly
expose the wrong which has been done.
in the present case, moreover, there t« even i
t stronger irecesuity for such a vindication |
Bv an express provision of the constitution. ;
b f ro the Preid’Hit of tiie United Stales can
enter on the execution of his office, ho is re- i
ij in d to take an oath or affirmation i i the 10l- j
lowing words;

“ coiisiiiuiion ot the United States.”
1 he dmy of defending, so far as in him lies,
the integrity <»l the constitution, would indeed
have resulted from the verv nature of his office;
but by thus expressing n in the official oatti o
aflii malion, winch, in this respect, differs from
thu l oi every oilier functionary, the tbitnders of
our itepubli'- have attested their sense of its
imjiof'iince, and have given to it a peculiar
solemnity and force. Bound to the perfor
mance of this duty by the o.itn I have taken,
b tiie strongest obhgai’ons ol gratitude tothci
American People, and t>v the ties which unite
my every earihly interest with the welfare and
glory ol my coun-ry; and perfectly convinced
that tiie discussion and passage of the above
mentioned resolution were not only unauthor
ized by the constitution, but in many respects
repugnant to its provisions and subversive of
the rights secured by it to other co-ordinate
departments, I deem it an imperative duty to
mutniuin the supremacy of (hat sacred instru
ment, and ihe immunities of (he department
itu rusted to my care, by all means consistent
with my own lawful powers, with the rights of
others, and with tiie genius of our civil insti
ttitions. To this end, I have caused this, mp
solemn protest against the aforesaid proceed
ings, io be placed on the files of the Execu
tive Department, and to be transmitted to tho
Senate.
it is alike due to the subject, the
and tile People, (uat the views which I h ive
taken ot the proceedings referred to, and which
compel me to regiud them in the light that has
been mentioned should he exhibited at length,
and with the treedoiTi and firmness which ire

vested exclusively in the Supreme and other
Courts <4 the United Stales, except in cases
ot impeachment, lor winch purpose the accu

seuiaiives, and that of hearing and determin

is an o-castoual m ermixlure of tho powers of
