Stale of Trade.—The unparallrd difficulty in which
manufacturers and ipinners find themadvei placed
by ‘be ■uiiigent measures adopted by the Bank ot'
England, and whose measure* necessarily influence
ibe bankers here, has earned an unusually depress-
•ed stale of trade throughout the week, which led
many ot the needy manufacturers to force sales at
eveu rather lower rates than mi this day week, iow
as thing* then were; and I hough a little nunc confi-
dence was manifest this forenoon, in conseqnence of
the prospect ofhostiiitiea soon ceasing in the Levant,
it led to little or no extra business, buyers evidently
waiting until the alien**-.., > .see wlied.er they cuuid
not meet with enough of needy parties disposed to
accept lower rates than werecurre .t on Baturday.
Firs.—The alarm of fire on Saturday morn
ing was caused by the burning of an old wooden
building, near tlm Cemeteiy, belonging io the
city. '1 lie fire was accidental, supposed to have
caught from a defect in the chimney. Too mmffi
cure cannot bo used by our citizen* during the
prevalence of the cold vveutber, to guard aguimd

THE ELEMENTS OF OUR SYSTEM.
ITS CHECK* A.HV BvLANCk*.
Any one who bss r**»d the gsrcmvalds of the
Loco Foco press for (he Inst twelve months,
would suppose that the whole conservative pow
er of our system, Iny in dm veto of the President
of the United Stab's; hut thefncl is, this is but a
small and insignificant future in the general
pluu of bnlnnncs, .and even that was located
where it is, after strenuous opposition, and much
douht.aud many misgivings. There art many
balance wheels to the machine. The State Gov
ernments themselves, though douhllesssuggested
hy tho old colonial geographical limits, were in
tended in fact, ns the main checks upon the Cen
tral Government, and their immediate represen
tative* in the Senate as so many sentinels tn
sound llicelnrm incase nfthe invasion of Statu
Rights. The Senate itself was to bn protected
in its opposition to popular tumuli* on the one
hand, and Executive power on the other, by the
tenure of its members to their seats. A Senate
for life was thought of by m my—but as a com
promise with the democratic views of thepeo
pie, a plan wns devised by which it was thought
that ull the advantages ofn Senate for life would
lie combined with morn republican features.
Their term of service wns extended two years
beyond even that of the President of the United
States; and to provide against party combinations
or a packed Senate from party legislatures, they
were broken op into stmill classes irrespective of
parties, or States, and one of tl-ese classes re
quired tago out of office at stated interval*.
Now, during the Jnckson, Van Buren dynasty,
all this has been exnctly reversed, and whole
squads of one party have been compelled to go
out nud unequal number of pnrtizotui of (lie
Executive elected to till their place*.
All this comes of viewing our National Ad
ministration is similarly situated lo a British
Miuistry, whom first object is, to look about for
majorities in the two houses. If the Ministry
were required to throw up their offices the mo
ment they find themselves in the minority, ns in
Englund, then there might he more palliation for
the late outrages upon the Senates but there is
no such feature in our system—on the contrary,
the Ministry hold* on to the end of four years in
derpite of majorities, even in both House*.
What then isnn Excutive to do, thus situated f
What did tlm framer* of the constitution intend
they should do! Neither to throw up theircotn-
missions, nor attempt to change Ihe represen-
tatives of the.people mid the States, butte change
thetroien measures. Hero is the rock on which
Air. Van Buren was wrecked, and on which
every state«mnn will suffer a like fate who imag
ines himself the master of the people, inateud of
their servant.
It whs supposed, that the President would al
ways be a titan venerable for his years, ns well os
his long-tried public services, und that tho days
nf his ambitious usplrations would be past, if not
entirely satiated, and thnt he would calmly and
quietly carry out the news of the people as express
ed by their Representatives. Hence the provision
that he should not originate any legislative mea
sure.
AD. Van Bnren wa* too young to linvo been
elected President or the United Slates, if there
had been no other ohjectibu to him. But our ob-
ject is not with men. except to illustrate a princi
pie, it is with the fundamental theory of our Gov
ernment.
By what means have these balances and check*
more especially for the safety of the States, been
thrown from their equipoise!
First by tho interference of the central govern
ment with Ihe State Legislatures, not only after
they ore elected and uuvrabled, hut with the
election nf the members themselves; and second-
ly by the s)stem of compulsory instructions of
one Legislature to Senutors elected hy another.
Not one member of the convention of 17K7,
supposed those things within the range of pro-
liability, which Geu. Jackson and Martin Van
Bu. kn actually carried into practice. They nev-
er imagined that a Government charged with
such vast supervision could ever enter tho arena
or party nnd neighborhood politics. The
race of Fouche and Kendall were not then on the
Stage. Oliver Cromwell was their neurest spe-
cimen of any thing like these meddlesome uni-
muls, and against a single bold aud grasping ty
rant they amply provided. But the spoil*system
or an avowed design of banding the office hold
ers, for interested and selfish views, had such
a thing been foretold lo that august convention
and believed, Uiey would have adjourned and
hung the capital jn mourning. The Constitution
of the United Stales woeld have been an abor
tion, and every sound thinking man would have
prel'ered the old confederation ill which such tie-
larmuscouihiiiutinii* were impossible.
The system of compulsory instructions, (mark
wn say compulsory instructions) is an entire in
novation, not only so, but it is in direct contra
vention of both tim spirit nnd letter of the Consti
tution. We have no objection to a Legislature
ol u State instructing her Senutors, but compel
ling (Item to resign in case of a difference ofopiti-
ion, breaks down the greatest barrier against tho
inroad of centralization—nullifies the tenure of
the office—makes as naught the wise provision
by which the office is vacated, so onto *e?at dnft-
anee party lines and temporary questions of
pediency and renders the great bulwark of the
Suite* insteud of the moot permanent body in our
system, the most mistable end fickle in it. It it
singular fact that these instruction* to Senators
"re nearly always by tho dominant parly of the
country—nearly always in favor of the stiong
oml against the weak. This very thing *hews
that this him votion defeats ono of the very ex‘>
press objects fnr which the Senate was created,
namely theprotertion of the small States,' and the
maintainance of the rights of minorities,
The fact is thnt the objects ofitscreation would
be better answered if the Senate were always in
opposition—then it would be a true check upon
the strides of executive power, and blow to the
winds any Uting like a combination of office hol
ders.

Alicanopy district, and the 8th on it* way to tho
district of Taupe bay. But after all, what a pity
it i* that tlm savages could not be permitted to
occupy this truly savage country. Whqn we
compare the fertile and salubrious prairies of
Arkansas and Missnuri, capable of sustaining a
dense population of agricultural people, with
this sterile waste of saud, doted over with its
three thousand lake* and ponds, containing the
choicpxtfixh—it* inlet* aud bayou* of suit water,

As for the ending ofthe war, no one here has
any such idea. Ifit does not last’til doomsday, i t
will be because thu Whites, nut the Indian*, -give
