The thing was much talked of for a day or two, and some joking took on the subject; bat when it was seen that these railleries gave him more pain than the wound the subject was dropped, and sooa seemed to have been forgotten.” Shortly a ter the officer took his leave. The reflections of Matilda were bitter. — Her mtnatureliad been infamously lost, whilst the mistress of Albert, of that Albert whom •he felt might, for family pride, have been her lover: was, e>en in effigy, the guardian an gel of a life she loved too w 11. Months elapsed, and II »race did not ap pear. Sir Oliver wrote to him an indignant letter, and hade him consider all intercourse broken nfffor the future. He returned a mel ancholy answer. in which he pleaded guilty to the charge; spike of the cnadnesaof intoxietjon, confessed that he was hope!***, and 'hat he deserved to he so; in a word, his le'ter was so humble, so desponding, and so dispirited, that •ven the ins died Matilda was softened, and shed tears over hi* blighted hopes. And nere we must do Horace the justice to sav t*»n the minnture wa* m uelv left in the hands ol the winner, he hemg a stranger, as a deposit lin'd the nex’ morning, lull which the n?x' morning did out allow Irm '<» redeem, th ’ 'g it rent from htm a limb, and left hm> as on* dead upon i-i- oi'tle field.

C targes of tyrannical oppression, usurper of the sword land 'he purse, and many others of the same character, are easily made, and ire used to gratify the malignant passions of the day, and are taken by many as the only evidence of the fact, and those who are anxious to acquire power, very often charge those in possession of authority, with usiirpa'i on, tyranny, op pression, and misr de of every kind.

How many of those who hav ■ permit- - ted themselves to be alarmed at this new cog i no nen ot the nullifiers have taken the trouble i .... examine for themselves and see what i* u> the bill that has created the President a inti ( try diet nor and invested him Mth the pub he sword ? Manv of them will find upon r-x --iini'iation, it pr >j idice is not ton d*ep rooted, t i it force on ilie par' of the general govern ment is the least feature of this force bill, a* it is called by many. The mam body of the bill consists of fiscal and j idi ial provisi ms intended to counteract the unconstitiit ionnj devices of nullification, to prevent the cdlec non of the revenue There are one or two section* of • hi* bill that authorizes th? g >v?rn •n*nl, if an attempt should lie mad" b force hi rescue goods from the custom,house ’ffi -er, or Io obstruct bv force, the due execution if the reven te laws, in such cases to repel force by force, if it sh mid be necessary, but strict lv limning the emnloyment of force, bv the President to defensive purposes. If n dlifica lion is nnconstitiitional. the act for the •• ille*- tion of the revenue .'annot he condemned; th* issue is mule up between nalhfication on th? one hand , and the constiiii'ional powers of the government on the other. South Car dtna, one of the confederate State* had d ~ •lin’d that the revenue law* oft'ie United States -hoold m»i be execu'ed wi'iiin her hm ns, and placed the whole military force of th" State at ’th* disposal of th* Governor to s is lain her ordinance. I* eann it lit* m * ind *r stood that the act of Congress to enforce th* collection of th? revenue was aimed a' the South Carolina ordinance, for no other Si He had the daring effrontery to obstru -f 'he exe cution of the laws of the general govern ment: a State always found in the ranks of federal principles, and a true disciple of the Hartford Convention; for in that memorable struggle between federalism & republicanism which brought the reoiibltcan doctrines into power, South Carolina was found struggling with the federalists She has been the pri mary ad 'orate of the nrotective system—can she then be considered as correct authority for any principle ? South Carolina not only abrogated the laws of the United States, but the vital power of the government was ex pi directly denied If under these Circumstances th? United States had folded their arms and made no efficient provision for the execution of the law, would it tint have been a surrender of the powers of the govern ment, arid a complete triumph for the doctrine of nullification ? But it was said, th i’ the la vs nullified were un< onshuitional, and fur hat reason ought not to b- carried info effe-t. Without entering into that disputed point a' this tune, it will he suffi -ieni to remark that the objec ion is founded in mistake in point of 'act. The laws nullified v< r- the whole re venue lavs of the Um ed Stales. “Oougress shall have p >wer,” says the coristimtion, “io lav and collect taxes, duties, imposts,” &■•. I f under this clause of the •ims'itu’ion Con gress is an tw.rised ’o lay duties on importa tr >n-, she iias sing u - ime ejanse i collect them, he ah >ve r| inse b ung one of -he etmmerat -d powers of Congress. it is further dei lared bv that instr •ne it, that ‘ Congress shall have power >o tn ke ill ’ a »s j which shall be necessary and proper for ar rvitig into execution the foregoing powers." \nd it is further declared by that instrument, . •‘that the President shall lake- are that Hi Jaws be faithfully executed.” Here then rests the matter, if the Union is to he preserv ed, i’s laws whtLt unreyealed, must be exe cuted, eqnallv and niformlv ex<* uHnd, if th-v ate not executed in every Siam they should f >e executed Hl n Hie. But why cavd about ihw force mH, when its bloody features vanish up on me rise <>) ihe present Congress ! Ihe President has been charged by the s. lie Itighis P -rfy o’ having V.oliuillv and l.iwl-s-ly s. ized tpori the pubj.c purse; bm h „ specific charge is brought to view, but insinu ating that ihe whole revenue of ihe govern 1 mcni his '.-•en seized m m, sword m hand, oy th** Pres d' ii and used for hi-'otvn bericfi . i .'ns tmld assertion is whoil untrue, and r is a- ■■ I to fi ive eff- t upon those who are n>: 1 '•o iv-rs ,nt anh the 'rorer dnit's of the gei)e il t’ >veirini-:if.

The 16th section of the United States’ Banti charter, reads, that •• I’he dep'sites of the money of the Unit’d States io places in which the said bank end iiram hes thereof may be established, shall •m made i’ said hank or branches thereof, un less the Secretary of lhe fr-n-ury shall nt any time otherwise order and direct, in which case the Secretary of the Trea-ury shall im mediately lav before congress, if m session, nd if not, immedia.elv after the commence nent of lhe next se<s.on, the reason for such order and direction.” By this section the Bank of the Untied States is made the depo sitory of ilte |>*ihlic m<mev, until the Secreta ry of the rreasurv ana I daeet other visa; so long as that section remains unrepealed, lhe deposites are beyond the control of Congress, except bv appropriations, and cannot be drawn but by some a onority fr >m the rroasurv De nariment. The President being the head of h • Executive Dap.»riment, and lhe Secretary •f iuh I'r* a-uiy iiei ig one of the subordinate t’mictiansries ol hut Doan merit, it 18 ronced > (i that he had a right to eoivrol 'll# action of the Sccretarv of the Treasury in the removal oftho-m d iposues. The rignt exarcised by I he Pr-sid'Ot m the removal of the late I creiarv of the Treasury, is sosecotibJe of very I strong proof; for if Mr. Duane's removal had ; been unlawful, and with authority to do so, Mr. I) iane and his friends would have heed found c filing up m the judicial tribunals of’hq • government io restore him to his lost office, 1i•• I I • ind hi* i qurcd reputation so much complain ed of The restoration of Mr. Duane would nave placed th?

Suffice it 'o say that the President in accordance with the power entr isied to him, in Hie removal of Mr. D lane; and the Secre ' irv of the fieasury ha* acted in accordance vvith the authority ol law in th? removal of •he d' po*it*s. Wii Heyer tnav be the pecu niary emb ira-sments of the country, it cannot be sol ly attributable to the removal of the dep'ist'es, for the capital of the country is not diminished, but distnb ited to the different lo cd bank* selected for the ’•overrun ml depots* i es. and equally safe.
