Shall those 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.

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, bedded with oysters—it* swamps of coonta or ar row root, together with its nmnberl.-.** ham- mocks, abounding with deer, tnrkies, .tc. who doe* not sea that,tlii* i* *pnr excellence’ the Indian territory. The Indian’s heaven itself contains nothing that is not here found ready to his indo lent hand. I "peak from what I have seen. I have trav elled over this country, and I have travelled over that, and I have some spare money; but I have yet to see the first " section’’ that I would enter for agricultural purposes nt the Government price. Doubtless there ore isolated putche* of good land, but they nre, if I may desecrate a beautiful und somewhat hackneyed lino, by up. plying it to so vile a country •• Like Angel’s visits, few nml far between." 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 up.’ I do not know’bul they ought to surrender und emigrate—und sturve to death like doede savages; but the stubborn knaves, it seems, de. cline.
