The powers of the Government wore divided, not ns heretofore, m ri ferenco to elnsscs, but geographic illy. One Gonciul Ciovernment was formed lor the wliob’, to which was d< h*. gated nil tlie powers supposed to be necessa ry to regulate the interest* common in ull of tiie Status, lowing otlicn subjet t to tho sop* urate control of the States, being from their local and peculiar character, such, that they could not he subject to th- will of the majori ty of the whole Union without the certain hnr.ftird of injustice and oppression. It. was thus, that the interests of tho whole were hebjorteil, as they ought to he, to the will ol the whole, while the peculiar and local inter ests were loll under the control of the States separately,to whose custody only, they could he safely confided. Tins distnbu:ion of pow er, settled solemnly by a constitutional com pact, to which all of tho States are partu s, constitutes the peculiar character and excel* Icrjcti of our political system. It is truly and emphatically American, without example or parallel. To reulizc its perfection, we must view the General Government and the Males as a whole, each in its proper sphere, sovereign and independent, each perfectly adapted to thuir respective objects ; the Matos ucting separately, representing and protecting the local and peculiar interests ; tiding jointly, through one Uonorul Governmont, with the weight respectively assigned to each by the Constitution, representing and protecting the interest of the wliolo ; anil thus perfecting mi ndiicrublo, hut simple uriaugoinent the great principle of representation mid respon sibility, without which no government can Is; free or just.

'I'lie question im new, when applied to our peculiar political organization, where the separate and coiillicting interests of society are represented by distinct, but connected Gotoriiiiieuis ; but is in reality an old ques tion mid* r n new form, long since perfectly solved. Whenever separate and disuiniihir interests have boon separately represented in any Government ; whonever the sovereign power has been divided in its exercise, the experience and wisdom of ages have devised but one mode, by which such political organ ization can he preserved ; tho mode adopted in England, mid by nil Government! ancient and modern, blessed with Constitutions de serving to he culled iVeti; t* give to each co- estate the right to judge of its powers, with it negative, or vuto on tho ucts ol the others, in order to protect against encroachments, tho interest it particularly represents ; a prin ciple which all our Constitutions recognize in the distribution of power among their res. pective Departments, as essential to maintain tho independence of eneli, hut which to all, who will duly reflect on the subject, most up. pear, far more essential for the some object, in that groat and fund .mental distribution of powers between the Stales and the General Government.

There is no provision in the constitii- F.nglaml, or between distinctly organized,but connected Governments, as with us. The reason is the Bnmo ir. ImtU cuaos, while tlu* necessity is greater ill our case, as he dan ger of it conflict is greater, where tho inter ests of a society are divided geographical- ly, than in any other, us has already boon shewn. These truths tlo seem to me *o he incon trovertible ; and I am ntnlo**s to undent and how any one, who has maturely r* fleeted on the nature of our institutions, or who has ready history, or studied tho principles of free Governments to any purpose, can cal I them in question. The oxplunlion ninst.it appears to me, he sought in tin* fact, that in ev* ry free Stale, there are those who look more t*> the necessity of maintaining power, than guarding against its abuses. I do Hot intend reproach, hut simply to state a fact, apparently necessary, to explain the contra riety of opinions among the intelligent,where tlie abstract consideration of the subject would hO'*m scarcely to admit of doubt. If such he the true cause, I must think the fear of weakening the Government ton natch in this case «*» ho in a great measure unfounded, or, at least, that the grejit danger is much less from tliut, than the opposite side. I da not deny that a power, of so high a nature, may he abused by a Stale ; but, when 1 relied that the States unanimously called the General Governmont into existence with all ot its pow- ors, which they freely surrendered on their part, under the convii tion that their common peace, safety ami pros; crity requin d it; that they are hound together hy a common origin, and the recollection ut • oiniuon suflering and common triumph in the great and splendid achievement of their independence ; and that the strongest feelings of our nature, and among them, the love of national power and distinction, are on the side of the Union ; it does acom to me, that the fear, which would strip th** states of their sovereignty, and de grade them, in fact, to mere dependent cor- point ions,lest they should abuse a right indis- pensablo to the peaceable protection of those interests, which they reserved under thuir own peculiar guardianship,when they created the General Government, is unnatural and unreasonable. If those who voluntarily crea ted the system, cannot be trusted to prose- servo it, what power can ! So .(hr from extreme danger, I hold, that there never was a free state, in which this great conservative principle, indispensible in all, was over so safely lodge*!. In others, when the co-estates, representing the dissim ilar and connecting interest of the comnmni ty came into contact,the only alternative was compromise, submission, or force Not so iu ours. Should the General Governmont, and a slate come into conflict, vve have a higer remedy ; the power which called the General Government into existence, which gave it all of its authority, and can enlarge, eoutract, or abolish its powers at its pleasure may be invoked. The Mates themselves may be appealed to, three fourths of which, in fuct, form a power, whoso decress are the Con stitution itself, and whose voice enn silence ull discontent. The utmost extent then of ■the oowor is, that a State acting in its sov tiou, thut ill such a case the Judges of ti e Supreme Court of tlie United Mates .slyill con trol ami he conclusive : neither can tlie Con gress by n law confer tlmt power. # There ap pears to be a defect in this matter, it iu « casus omissus, which ought in sum** wav to he remedied. Perhaps the Vice President and Senate oftho United Mates; or commis sioners appointed, say one by each State, wotdil lit* a more proper tribunal than tin* Su preme Court.

You refer to two ar- (leuce. which states that the result would he, j tides in tlu* Globe to justify your appeal to to th> a fP.m'l majority in favor of accedinj conditions of Leopold, In regard lo the state of F land and the struggles of its sons for independence, our wishes are not gratified hy any advantages gained hy them, at least not hy any which may bo considered authentic. The capture of Bobruysck, would certainly be highly im- portuntjml it does not come from an official source and no great reliance seems to have been placed on it in London, ll is painful to observe that dissentions to some extent ex ist in Warsaw ami that the conduct of the gallant Skryznecki is oven impeached. Can it be possible that a nation who lias suffered feat ill** obj"ct I had in view? I should have considered i* a gross violation of tin* Pcs of that fr midship which then existed ctween us, to have carried io you such n message, as that you tdiould invite Maj. Ea ton and his family, or anv other persons, to your large or small parties, under a menace of dismissal from office. When the Prepi- d'*nt mentioned this charge of conspiracy, I vindicated you against it. It gave it. ns my opinion that lie was misinformed. To pre vent a rupture, I requested the President to postpone calling upon those members of his cabinet till Saturday, that 1 might have the opportunity of two days to converse with them. When I made n\y report to the President, I informed him that I was confirmed iu my opinion previously expressed, that he Imd h'-en misinformed us to the combination an* 1 conspiracy. I informed him of your une quivocal and positive denial oftho fact, and coinmnnicatL*! every thing whihli transpired between us calculated to satisfy l.is nnnd on the subject. It was this report of mine that gave him satisfaction, and changed his feel ings and determination, not his ground as you have supposed; with me he had no ground to change. He had assumed none except tlmt winch 1 have stated : nor did 1 ever make use of such an expres.-ion to you that he had cli aged his ground. It is tru< that I informed you that the president was very min h excited, I do not now recollect tin precise language used to convey my idea of that excitement. I presume you had the advantage of your private memoranda, when you say I compared him lo u roaring Lion. Yen attribute co nm another declaration which I never made—'Imt on our way to Mr. Berrien’s I stated that the President Imd in formed nm that he would invite Mr. Branch, Mr. Berrien, and yourself, to meet lorn on tlu* next Friday, when In* would inform you of his determination in ihe presence of Dr Ely. I never received or cornnunicated such an idea. The Paragraph is substantially correct when lliut part in reference to Dr.’Ely is ex punged. It is true, iu some of our various conver sions, the name of Dr. Ely was mentioned, but i:i connection with another part of the subject. The President informed me that when the rumours against Maj Eaton nnd Ids family had been opened to him by Doctor El£, lie had invited the accusers to make good tlmir charges, and that they had failed— tiiis is the substance of that part of our con- 1 should find in n very unsettled condition. I touched first at Pampaton, in llu* Island of Mnrgire'ta, and ill succession nt La Guira, Porto Cnhollo, Curazoa, St Martha, nnd Car- thagona. In Venezuela every thing was qui et, with the exception of a small party in Ca- mana under Mnuagers, in arms against the xisting Government. An attempted insur rection of tlm slaves in the city of Cnraccns, a few days before our arrival nt LnGmrn.lmil been promptly quelled, and the ringleader ex ecuted. Venezuela st ll remained separate from the Government of Bogota, but neither party appeared disposed to appeal to arms for an adjustment of their differences. At St. Martha and Carthngcna things were also qui et. The chiefs nnd pr ncrpal officers of the Bo livian faction Imd been, banished, and it ap peared to be the general opinion, that the do minant party would he able to sustain itself. The American Consuls, in all tlie ports I touched nt on th*! Main, g ve me tho assu rance, 'That the treaties with our country hud been strictly adhered to, and our com mercial rights respected ly the different par ties which Imd successively administered the Government; and that since the downfall of the Bolivian party, the feelings towards our country had become even more friendly than tormely.” “ On leaving the Main, 1 touched at Ja- mnica, nnd returned to tyis port along the south side of Cuba.

Gale at the Eastward.—The Barnsta ble (Mass) Journal oftho 4th inst. says,— At twelve o’clock yesterday wc had a brisk gale from the South East, at 1 o’clock it sud denly changed to the N.

At south Den nis a house was blown down, and sever: 1 barns completely destroye^sevcral of lie vessels at anchor in the river were likewise injured. Comparing the above with the following from a correspondent of the New Bedford Mercury, it appears that the gale must havo extended some 50 or (10 miles nt least in cluding the whole breadth of the Vineyard Sound. Edoartown, Aug. 3. We were this day visited hy one of tho most tremendous gusts of wind ever experi enced since the memory of man. The wind commenced nt S. S. E. and veered to the W. It blew oil the roof of one dwelling house and overthrew several chimnies—one breaking through the roof of the house. The Salt works of Chnbnquidick Point were much in jured ;—many windows wore blown in and other damage.
