TWO MUTUAL HEARTS. 'Tt*o mutual hearts are like the rills, la solitude when single, That wander from the moorland bilif, In riser streams to mingle. Ami then along the fertile vale. Their banks with blossoms painted. They heave their billows to the gala, Uutroubled and untainted. Two mutual hearts are like the stars That aid each others shining, W h,eu gates of day the evening bars, And roses are declining. And through the l.ongnnd lonesome uigkt, That spreads its pall of sadness, They mingle their etherud light, To fill the world with gladness. Two mutual hearts are like the flower*, That twine themselves together, A'hen morning sends the drenching showgr3. Or evening comes to wither. ^,nd though they fall—as fall they must— They will not, cannot sever, . But sink together to the dust, Together lie forever. „ ... . ... baadtaeff. Ei«k became ibb artificer of r The Tennessee Resolutions. $cnate of Tennessee, Friday Oct. 19* Mr. Brown’s resolutions, and accompa nying document, which wefe submitted yesterday, wore read. They are as fol low's : Resolvedly the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, That the Consti tution of the United States should be so a- Taended as to give the election of Presi dent and Vice President directly and exclusively to tbe people, 'preserving the present relative weight of the several ytate9 in the election. Resolved, That the measures of the pre- ten*. Administration of the General Go- vermueutare injurious to the interest, and dangerous to the liberties of the country. Resolved, That the surest remedy for these evils, now in the power of the peo ple, is the election of Andrew Jackson to the chief Magistracy of this Union. The mode of appointing the President, as has been prescribed by the Federal Constitution, has been the source of much inconvenience, and is the subject of such general discontent, that a sufficient reason for recommending amendment noed not be sought in the experimental nature of the instrument itself. The evils inher- reut in tlie last election, and the anxieties Connected with the next, give it a claim to public deliberation, which none but the selfish and the servile can disregard. It cannot be fully denied, that the choice of our Chief Magistrate was .intended to spring from the free and unobstructed judg- Dient of the people : and it must be admit ted, that io the late election, which was conducted according to the forms cf the Constitution, that intention was disap pointed. A charter, the letter of which conflicts with its spirit, the details of which counteract its principles, is certain ly defective. On the occasion alluded to, «*ndidaie who on the primary election, obufMfc] the highest number of votes, and at the moment of final competition bore hicontestible evidence of being the choice of a majority of the American people— evidence which subsequent popular discus sions have confirmed—was superceded by A combination, that triumphed only be cause the competition was transferred to a Small pre-existing body of electors, of which one party to the combination was An influential member The crisis was cal culated to awaken the worst designs of sel fish ambition, and if tbe motive of men are to be determined by their actions, *eems to have had its sinister opportuni ties fully employed. According to Mr. Adams’s declarations in his book ou the fisheries, as well as to recollections and convictions resulting from the public ob servation of public men, political hostility wnd personal estrangement had, for sever- nl years, and on momentous subjects, sep arated himself and Mr. Clay. No approach to union, no inclination for amity, was manifested by either, until it was ascer tained that as long as they obeyed the prin ciples and supported the opinions which bad formed their respective pretensions, and produced their awarded opposition, the power at which thev grasped was not V> b ? J obtained—that continued disunion would frustrate, and that instant combina tion would gratify their mutual ambition. Then, and not till then, long cherished distrust -was Mutually forgotten; oft ex pressed opinions were practically renouuc- * <M$ advers* principles oproly that man’s promotion whose expulsion up to the moment had been a chief object of his exertions. The highest amount of executive power was divided, and the closest fraternity of political fortune was established between them. What is enor mous need not be exaggerated; what is flagrant requires no demonstration. Mr. Adams desired the office of President; he went into the combination without it and come out with it ; Mr Clay desired that of Secretary of State ; he went into the combination without it and came out with if. Of this transaction, the simplest history is the best analysis. Where a change of political principles, or even of private estimation is the immedi ate cause of personal gain, reciprocally to the agent nnd the object of the change, im purity of motive is necessarily concluded. I Whoever expects otherwise, must expect j | the laws of reasoning, imprinted by the i Deity on the human mind, to be altered. | It is equally certain, that a daring iograti- j tude is displayed by the citizen who in- i suits the majesty of the people with the [very power which their generous confi- j deuce had placed in his hands. To be- | lieve, when proof is insufficient, is not j greater folly’, than to doubt when it is con- ; vincing ; and when circumstantial ev idence is conclusive, positive testimony, j which is always liable to a corrective col- S lation with circumstances, is rathor curious jthan valuable. It was but the other day that an atrocious murder, in the enlight ened State of New York, was detected and punished upon circumstantial evi dence : and surely a process of reasoning, which will sanction the destruction of one man’s life, is righteous enough to deter mine the conduct of another. Those who 'demand stronger evidence of an improper ! understanding bttween Mr. Adams and j M ■. Clay, than that afforded by their com bination itself, must be prepared to con tend that it is not in the nature of things for circumstances to evince guilt, and must he disposed to suspend their judgments un less the parties confess their crimes. It ought, however, to be remembered, that all our knowledge of motive and cliaPhc- ter, every decision we form respecting mental occurrences, is drawn from the consideration of circumstances r and that it is out of the ordinary couise of things for the confession of the accused m pre cede the sentence of the proper tribunal. The members of this assembly, therefore in protesting against theelection of Mr. A dams as improper and anti-republican, are sensible of no precipitancy of judgment, or too great license of language. Unwil- to assert what is donbtful, they are de- rmined to speak what is true. Nor do they deem it nedessary to fortify their pro test by the numerous collateral proof to be derived eithor from the contradictions contained in the studied vindication of the Secretary of State ; from the confession of his friend, his colleague, and his com panion ; or from the pertinent and coneur- ingreminiscences of respectable witnesses. The object of these resolutions being re medial, not vindictive,'it remains after ex- emplyfying the actual danger of the present plan, to show the probable advan tage of the amendment proposed. In the first place, bv giving the election directly and exclusively to the people, we shall conform to the fundamental principles of our government, which was departed from in thet formation of the constitution, from apprehension which experience, as far as it has gore, proves not to have been well formed. Another benefit will be, that the dependence of the Governor on the governed, so desirable in a republic, will be thus effectually secure. A considera tion of equal moment, both as it regards the theory and practice of our government, is to be found in the fact, that, an election placed entirely in the hands of the peo ple, must result in the expression of their choice. This will exclude the formidable evils of previous cabals, concomitant cor ruption, and subsequent resentments.— The people will be satisfied with their own work, and at succeeding elections, will deliberately confirm, or prudently correct their former preference. Nor is it pro bable that, hereby, purity of elections would be obtained at the expense of pub lie tranquility. The turbulence appre hended by the framers of the constitution is less likely to be excited by the process of a fair and open election, than bv the contensions sure to arise under the present narrow system, between parties inclining to practise, and parties endeavouring to defeat corruption. Beside, the people of the United Stares are further advanced in the knowledge of self-government than they were when the constitution was a- dopted ; more capable of forming a pru dent choice, and of avoiding those con vulsions to which a less informed entama- nity might be exposed, by the immediate exercise of a right so important. The di vision of the Union into States, and the consequent modification of the elective process will have a tendency to limit, with in moderate bounds, the effect of any agi tating impulse. And it should never be forgotten, that when any faculty of go vernment is susceptible of salutary exer tion by the people, to lodge it with a body of Trustees for their benefit, is an odious and pernicious departure from the car dinal principles of free government. —These are some of the reasons which may be assigned in favour of the first re solution. As reference proves that the present system lias a tendency to destroy the purity of elections, it also shows that a bad administration is likely to spring from, and re-produce an impure election. W hen a President gets into power with so small an “approach to unanimity, “as to be indebted for his office to the rewarded support and obvious tergiversation of his most inimical competitor,the motive whirl] reduced him to this abasement will natur ally prompt hun to administer the govern ment, not with a view to the public wel fare, but with an eye to his own popularity. Hence those branches of policy which time has sanctioned, and the fruits of which the nutritous and substantial, are neither captivating by Tk>velty, Dor itaz- him after he Has committed it; and it is zling by splendour, will be neglected for visionary and ambitious schemes, diversi fied to amoJb the imagination of the pub lic, and to reflect on their authors the cre dit of superior patriotism, invention and sagacity ; with this delusive machinery will be combined the influence of execu tive patronage; which, in most countries, is mighty, & even in dur own is powerful. This great engine will be perverted from its rightful use, to the purchase of praise for the executive and aspersions for its ad versaries ; and should eminent services and virtue render any citizen a dangerous competitor for the presidency, slanders, proportioned to his merits, will be fabri cated by interest and imposed on creduli ty. Such is the natural history of power unjustly acquired in a free country. Since the last election accordingly, the attention of the general government averted from the salutary relations, which for a series of years had secured for us the enjoyment of a productive commerce, has been de- vdted to the formation of chimerical and intrusive alliances the avowed object of which was an outrage upon the spirit and independence of the nation, whose reli gion and law's it was proposed to subject to oar kind control and supercilious care. Tbe mischief of this ambassadorial crusade—of this egregious departure from from that modesty and reserve (the dic tates of dignity and prudence) which had exalted us in the family of civilized nations promises to equal the absurdity of its con ceptions. Besides the unnecessary and enormous amount of public money expen ded, and the ridicule and censure of for eign nations, to which this strange embas sy has exposed us, it will be well for our country if it involve us into no other and greater calamities. To suit his theory to his practice, the President claims al most boundless authority for the execu live—ejects the Senate from any parti cipation in the institution of embassies, and the commissioning envoys—compares the influence of the constituents on the rep resentative to the effect of paralysis on the human body—in the true spirit of ar bitrary condescension, he displays to the nation fantastical projects of benefaction and improvement befitting the gracious king of star gazing subjects, rather than the tesponsible agent ol a free people.— Nor is the profusion with which public money is expended, &the mismanagement of the government abroad, greater than its profligacy at homo. The chief member of the Cabinet whose dnties require his sa gacity, and most intense application, an nually deserts his department end displays himseif as an itinerant rhetorician at elec tioneering feasts esceedingsotne of his col leagues in this official degradation, only as far as he exceeds them in ability. In tftt days of Washington and Jefferson it teas not in this manner that the great officers of state were employed. Neither Hamil ton nor Madison was seen travel sing vari ous states at seasons of election, to rise before curious multitudes, and to pour forth praises on the President in office, whilst the flood-gates of defamation were opened against his expected competitor.— ThcrS'e great men never dealt in boister ous harangues, unbecoming the gravity of statesmen—in banquet bravadoes, consis tent ne’ither with decency nor courage; nor io bold assertions, bearing no compar ison with facts. One was devotedly en gaged in the definition of our rights at home & in tbe expansion and secuiitv ofour in terests abroad, now violated and neglect ed. The other was seduously employed in the creation of a system of economy and credit now impaired and abandoned ; whilst both had exerted their mighty in tellects in the formation of that bond of notorious that the prostituted miscreants who invent and circulate those slanders, are the continued objects of hiinisterial favor, patronage and pay. Hired with the money of the very people whose willing gratitude and just admiration are the real cause of the defamation and rancor.— i This foul injustice rfbt only aggravates the demerit of its procurers, but should endear to his country the hero who sustains it.— As citizens of Tennessee, we feel it our especial duty to denounce it; and to pro claim our prOud. our fervent, and our in creased attachment to the candidate of the cause of the people.

In regard to the third Yestjlutiun, it will be sufficient to say, that the acknowledged popularity, the estab lished fame, and well tried patriotism of Andrew Jackson, designate him as the candidate most capable of, and most de serving a successful competition with Mr. Adams. Here lie has been known from the dawn of manhood, through the vicissi tude of life and fortune, in peace and in war, and we speak the sentiments of our constituents as well as our own when we declaeed that tiie fire ofyouth never im pelled him beyond the bounds of honor, and that the coldness of age has not made him deaf to the voice of patriotism. As a man he has always enjoyed our ppcnliar esteem and ns a public agent, our highest confidence. The force and fulness of his intellect, we have never found inferior to the grandeur of his character, or the lustre of his fame ; conspicuous for the chari ties of private life, and afone doubtful of his public abilities j he has seldom left his sacred retreats, without carry ing renown for himself and glory for his country. But the retreats of private life are no longer sacred. This beloved citizen, this genuine republican, venera ble for his age, illustrious for his services, and still more illustrious for his inflexible patriotism, has seen, not only his conduct distorted by slander, and his glory tar nished by calamny, but the partner of his bosom traduced and exposed for the sport of the idle and the malice of the infamous.
