QiwTn t—From what period do the People <>•'the several States, date their Freedom and Independence .* • i —From the 4th July, 1773, the date of anictican Independence, when their Rcprc ?

Who formed the Constitution of the Uni ted States ? .The People of the several States, as dis— tin t political communities, and not the “People nf th' United State;?,” in their aggregate capa city. (f What is ths Constitution of the “ United Stites”? cl. “It i« a Compact between Sovereign ■States, ratified by the people ofeach Sovereign State”—rf.’c i State acting for itself and binding its or - citizens. Q. What is the Government of the United ■States? .1. It is the “Agent” of the distinct political communities that ratifi-'il the Fedt ral Compact, deriving authority from the sai i political com munities, as by them declared in the enum ra tion of powers contained in the said I* edcral Compact. (f Did the distinct political communities of ♦he several States, when t icy ratified the Fed eral Compact, part with a portion of their Sov ereignty ? ,7. No, they retained it entire. Bear in mind who ratified the Constitution, that each state acted for itself, bound its own itizim*, and not those of any other state- The objects for entci ing into the compact were “to form a more per feet Lliio >, establish justice, ensure domestic traa j iditv. promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity ” I'o accomplish these important objects, a Federal Government was authorized to ba established, with powers restricted to the sai I objects. This Government is but the agent of the confederate stab s, and is permitted by them to ex- rcise powers, which they agreed be tween themselves they would not separately employ. Vo reasonable man, wilt contend that by this argument, the states parted with any purtion oftbeir overeignty. Again, the pow ers granted, as contained m the Ft> eral (-in stitution are trust powers —if thoro be a violation of them dangerous and palpable, it must be con ceded that a vontrol exists somewhere. The control is in the sovereign power of each of the stales. It is laid down by Col. Troup in his celebrate i letter, that “sovereignty protects beth <1 legated and reserved powers, but is neither th-- one nos the other.” Q. Vv hat is Vllegiancc, and to whom do wc owe primary Allegiance? Allegiance is the tie, which binds the citi zen to the sovereign power of the state in whi- h he resides, —primary Allegiance is due to it. Obedience is due to the acts of the Feder- • al Government, as long as jt keeps within the prescribe limits of the Constitution. (f Incase of a “gross, deliberate and palpa ble violation oflhe Constitutional compact” who arc competent to decide? ./. Anv of the states, that entered into the compact. “Ev< rv state has a natural right in “cases not within the compact, to nullify of th- ii own authority all assumption ofpowcrby others, within their limits, and that without this light, thov would be under the dominion absolute and unlimited, of whomsoever might exercise the right of judgment lor them,” GDI A) MINE IN VIRGINIA.

Washington.— The following interesting letter from Gen. Washington to his wife, an nounces his aopointmeut as Commander-in- Chief ol the Continental Army. The mo’desty, good sense, and pruclcn e, evinced, are peculiar characteristics of that illustrious patriot : TO ?IRS. MARTHA WASHINGTON. Philadelphia, Bth June, 1775. “My Dearest: I am now sit down to write to you on a subject that fills me with inexpressible concern; and this concern is greatly aggravated and increased, when I reflect upon the uneasi ness 1 know it will give you. It has been determin 'd in Congress that the whole army raised for the defence of the Vn -rican cause, shall be put under my care, and that it is necessary for me to proceed immediately to Boston, to take upon me the com and of it. lon may believe me, my dear Patsey, when I assuicyou, in the most solemn manner, that, so far from seeking this appointment, I have used every endeavor in my power to avoid it, not only’ from my unwillingness to part with you and the family, but from a consciousness of its being a trust -too great for my capacity, and that 1 should enjoy more real happiness in one month with yon at homo, than I have th » most distant prospect v f finding abroad, if my stay were to bo seven times seven years. But as it has been a kind of destiny that has thrown me upon this service, I shall hope that my un dertaking is designed to answer some good purpose. “You migiU, and I suppose did perceive from the tenor of my letters, that 1 was apprehensive I could not avoid this appointment, as 1 did not pretend to intimate when I should return. That was the case, it was utterly out of my power to refuse this appointment, witho it exposing my character to such censures as would have re flected dishon r upon myself, and given pi.m to my friends. This, I am sure, could not and ought not to be phasing-to you, and must have lessened me consider ibly in my own esteem. 1 shall rely, therefore, confidently on the Provi d nee which has heretofore preserved and been bountiful t > me, not doubting but that 1 shall re turn sale t you m the fall. I shall feel no pain from the toil or the dunger of the campaign; my unhappiness will flow frorn the un easiness I know you will feel from being left alone I then tore beg that you will sumn on your who! fortitude, and pass your time as agreeable as possible. Nothing wdl give me so much sincere satisfaction as to hear this, and to b.ear it from your own pen. My earnest and ardent desire is, that you would pursue any plan that is most likely to produce content, and a tolerable degree of tranquility; as it must add greatly t > my uneasy feelings to heir that you are dissatisfied or complaining at what I really could not avoid. “As life is always uncertain, and common prudence dictates to eveiy m:ui the necessity of settling hist mpural concerns while it is in his power, and vvliil- th mind is cahn and undistur bed, I hav • since I came to t!:!H place, (for 1 hid not time to d >it before I left home,) g”t Col. Pendleton to draft a will for me, by the directions 1 nave him, which will I now enclose. The provision made for yon in case of my death will, I hope, be agreeable. “1 shall add nothing more, as I have several letters to write, hut t > desire that you will rec ommend me to your friends, and to assure you that I am, with the most nnfei nod regard, my dear Patsy, your nflectionate, &c.” MISTAKE of the press. An important house in N. York had occasion to advertize for sale a quantity of Brass 1 loppt-rs, such as are used in colfee mills. But instead of Brass Hoppers, the newspaper read (Jrass hoppcis. ina short time the merchant’s count ing r< uni wa> tl.rcr gad w ith trip.in rs respecting this new artick of inerchan ’ize. “(100.1 morning Mr. Invoice; how do you sell Giasshoppers;” said a fat merchant.— “What are they woith a hogshead?

I'akuu th import- r aside for tear of being ov< r heard by the merchants, he asked him how he sold his grasshoppers, it they weie prime quali ty; and uheth- r th-' , wore to he used in medi cine. ih< importer was about opening his mon h, to r< ply in an angry manner what ho In gnn t<> susp< ( t was a conspiracy to torment him,wh- ii a doctor entered smelling at his cane, and looking wmindrons wise. “ Mr invoice” said lie >t ahem! will ion be go o<i enough t<> shew me a specimen of your Giasshoppers!” “Grasshoppers!

To J\hj Old friend ,Mr Dwight ,oj the J\'cw York Daily cldvertiscr. Washington, Febnarv, 25, 1534. We have had a cood deal of sport here late ly about a new kink our folks got into. Findin things was goin prety tough agin us and so many Committee folks comin on here pestering on us every day with petitions, and talk, they thou’t best to put a st.p to it. and got up some letters full of lire and toe ami brimstone and bloody murder agin the Gineral, and threatinen on him. i'his yon know is an old trick in the okl conntres. And 1 toll’d the Gineral I was pcskily afear'd it wouldn’t work well here. The first go off the Gineritl had a notion it would do some good in stiirin up our friends about the country; but when he and I came to consider on't he began to think it wouldn’t work right for when you com- to think on't, it looks plagy strange that folks who want a recharter of a bank should be c.ut throats and murderers: for ii they had a notion that way, they could get mony without comin here for it, and killin the Gineral and runnin the lisk of ,iy Axe in the bargin—and now, says I Gineral, 1 consider this business, now that it is all printed, a plagy small matter, and 1 am peskily aft ard it will do us no good. Folks will lafl'at it all about cre ation, and them that ont know the natur of our countrymen wont think so well on us—and I dont think it’s right nother But howsomever, says I, since we’ve got in it, and some folks will iatf, my notion is we best begin and have some fun ourselves first—and the next time all our Cabinet folks git together, I'll h&ve my share on't at any rate And so sure enuf yesteixlay I got a chance—l sat down and jind the ring, and says I, more steel and brimstone Gineral, and I out with a hull bundle oi letters; and the first one I read wis dated away up in Ilills-dale, New Hampshire. Now - , says I, that’s a rale genewinc etter—from a place where there aint no body but rale gem wine folks of our partv — they ah star’not knowin what was coiriin; and th; Gineral he sat still sim krig so yo icouldn’t see but let tie on him—and so 1 r-a 1— 7b .Major Downing—alongside the Gineral, i Hashington. ( “You eternal raseal ! —lf you dont stop wri tin Letters —that keep all th’ while woiking agm ‘ir party —we wdl send folks te U ashing ton who will chop you up into mince m - at with your own Axe be dont sec how it is the Gineral keeps sich a blasted scamp about him as you lie, we belli ve you an* bribed by Btdule —tor we -’out see how you git a livin out of your Majoi’s commission,mow their amt no w ar— if the Gineral changes his notions about the bank, it w ill all lie owin to your advice. So lookout, and d the bank comes out of this scrape alive, you arc a dead man. ++** ++++ *+♦* There, says I—amt that a stumper. —But here is one a l< clle worse than that, and is dated t “Dunder Barak(*****)Kt n Render Hook, 1 (*****) (fvetslaw.” But that’s all the English I can make on't. Ami the Gineral, he look’d at it, and then isk’d Mr. \an Buren to n ad it out in English for us. And ho took it and studied it over a spell, and he twisted n-und, and was plagejy put to it to know what. to do about it, ami whispered some thing t<> the (rl(.be man, and he whispered to another, and it went round. C omb,says I. let’s have it. Well, says Mr. Van Buren, it’s a pretty severe h ft- r, but we best translate. I’ll read it as it is, with pleasure. And -o he went at B, after this fashion. And this is the copy on’t. Dander Rarrack digl by K'ii derhook t of de Ove'slag. | . lan Jan Dotcning, .Major in het zelfe huts tcaar den General woonl.

And, says he, Major, that sounds like bloody murder, don’t it \nd sa sI. there is n doubt on’t. And it Mr. Van Buren would only give ths English on’t, it would bo worse than any letter agin you, ' neral, says I. Well, says the Gineral, if it’s orse in English than il sounds in Dutch I dont x ant to hear it, and wc best stop readin any oi e letters about murder. Well, says I, if ihat’s enuf, I’m content But, says I, we best ••it these printed in the Globe. “No no—O no, ;io-—O no,” cried out pretty much all on em, ; they aint official enuf for the Globe—nothing i o-oes there but the rale true stuff “bv authori* • Fy.” Well, says J, if any body says these aint as i true as them other ones, I should like to hear it. I And I give em a look, but they did’nt say a word. Well, says I, that aint ill. if any on you want to i know any tiling more about these ere letters, I am willing to tell you icho xvrote em, and why thev was written, and that's a leetle more than any on yon dare say about the tother ones. And, says 1, that aint all, yet if any on you w ank , me to tell who wrote them tother letters and why they was written, 1 can tell you that too, say’s 1. And with that, they all ’ began to look pritty clomly, and some on em said there xvamt no use to say nothin more about the business. Very xvell, say’s I, H's a nastry trick, any way; it may do very well for some countries, but it wont do in this; our people knows a lectio too much, to bite at sich a bait as that. And now, i says i, the next In .e any on you want to play oil'a rale good trick, you must be sartin first, to see both eends on't ; or else, says I, you'll bo as bad off as my old neighboi, Eltakum Doolit tle, who work'd nigh upon a week, diggin a woolfpit, and fixer, a trap fall on top on’t, and ji t as he was baitm on't .he 'slip’ll in himself; and it warm till he was enymost starv’d to death, afore the neighbors found out w here he xvas. The Gineral wasiiekled to di ath with this story but our folks did’nt like it a bit; and so he ha-haw’d— and as I alxvays in these hard times, hook on to any thing worth laughin at (for the chance is plagy scarce,) I turn'd to and join’d the Gineral, and xte ha-haw’d together till the re war’nt a critur left in the room but me and the Gineral—and so that’s all I've got to say about murder and brimstoi c tins time.

JUDGE lIOUPEK—< HEKOKEE IN DIANS, &c Judge Hooper has recently, in some lev, - ca ses sanctioned Bills of injuncln n in favor of the Indians, i'lw Standard of Union has sei zed upon this with avidity, for the purpose of ; stirring up a new excitement. The Standard t seems to think that the Indians have no rights, . and are entitled to none —that their property and privileges should be at the mercy of the white . man—and that a judicial interposition to stay I the hand of injustn e and oppression, “should t be made a high crime and misdem anor”?!! Vi hat man in his right senses woul I advocate a measure so ridiculous ano iniquitous, Il is an absurdity too in nstrous lor com option. 1 he Thomaston Lpson I igil alludes to ti-is . subject in the following pertinent and sensible manner: “b tom the article which we h ive ollecled i from the Btandaid, it seems that the editor ap > prebends that a storm is brew ing in the calm serene of the judicial department, and that . Judge Hooper has trod.;en upon forbidden and - dangerous ground. It strikes us that no ♦ cn f sure should e predicated against (he judge from . the bare fact of Lis having sanctioned a bill for , injunction. The award of injunctions is fie ; quently nearly er dilnto juslihw, «s the solicit-, ors say; and as th; grounds arc to be fully ar gued upon the merits, <-n a motion for dissolu tion, the sanction of th- process in the first in- ! stance, is merely pr< hrntnary and mtroductive i of the thorough contestation of rig t. hy what , soever name an I in whatsoever behalf the party may lect to proceed. I’hc revival of Cherokee Sovi r- ignty, therefore, by the Adairs, in the I phraseology of their bill, should not disturb us. It can neither bo ratified, eu balmed or perpet uated in that way. It is the essential nature es Courts of justice, t at they stand wide open for suitors, Complaining of real oY supposed viola -1 tion-ol rights. All may cuter; but n-.ne will be sustained and redressed but such as repose injustice, law and evidence. We hope, fin the avoidam e of occasional incnuvi nience, the editor would not have those old atttilr.it- s of judi< ia! tribunals obliterated; and the open doers of our < (.mt-, invi cibly banicadoed bv dea-f foie judgments. Should the principles of the complainants be finally -ustaim d upon solemn argument, which our neighbors oftlie Standard can scarcely anticipate, it would he high tune then to open the batteries of an indignant press/’ Par.TNEP.SHfP —Me take the following from the Baltimore American; “In a case at law involving the liability of a firm foi notes given by one of the partners in the name of the firm, it was lately ruled again in the superior court of the city oi New York that tire firm is prmia facie liable, but nt t it the note was given oi account.of the individual part ner and not for the business of the firm, and it can be shown that the person to whom it was given know s it.

It was therein ruled that to Linda' firm for the endorsement of one of its partners' in the r. i-ne of the firm the burden of proofj is on the other si le and the holder oi the note must show that the transaction is con nected with the regular business of the firm whose name is used w ith the consent of the partners. We have heard a good story illustrative of the trafficking character of the New-B-ilford peop le and the illusive nature of some >f th’ ir profits.

Boston Post, i - T-IE WESTERN IIERAtD. DAHLQIINEGA, GEORGIA, H ARC fI'SS, 1834, Our Town subscribers will receive their papers at the “ Herald < ’flier,” on the day of publication, which w-ill be for the present, “ Friday,” xvhcrc they will favor us bx c illing for them. V.’e have at length removed our press to Dahlohncga; hut. have to request ditors with whom wc exchange, and Correspondents, to continue the direction of their papers and letters to Auraria; to which place wc shall establish a s<nii-xveekly mail of our oxvn. The injustice meted out to this devoted village, by the Postmaster-General, has been as continued in time as egregious in fact. In the first place, the people of this village, and its vicinity, to the number of one hundred and sixty, recommended an inilivi'lual in whom they reposed confidence as Postmas ter. Les:, !'s i-.is, mttny p-titions of respectability worn forwarded iti behalf of other applicants; but all had to yield to tiio recommendation of James M. Watne, in b huff.of an individual who had not even sought the [ recommendation of any port ion of his fi, How-citizens. VVe have not the slightest degree of hostility, or unfriendly fil ling, to the present incumbent, and only mention this fact, to shew, that the Postmasier-Ge icral had, in this instance, departed from the well established rule, of con fcring the appoint inent upon the applicant who was most respectably recommended. Mr. Wayne, however, may he considered by the Department a; more respectable than all our citizens combined, and as possessing a more thorough knowledge of thei. qualifications than they do themselves. But the im a sure of injustice does not stop here. After a Postmaster has been appointed for us in tn. manner above stated, his appointment has availed u-, nothing. It is true, that within the last two or three weeks, (no mail has been brought here once in each week, at such times as suited the convenience of the carri’ r, whose horse stands at. the door of the office until the contents o', the mail-bag have been thrown out: and he .departs as soon as it can he delivered to him again— thereby affording no opportunity of ansXvcring any letters that may be received until the ensuing week. Tlio mail-stage conr s twice a week to Auraria, distant from this p’ace about five miles, and rests there one or two days. : each tiyic, and the road between the two places is tolera bly good. Our correspondents, subserbers, and patrons, may rest assured, that all communications addressed to us. will be as early received, and as prompt!;, attended to. as if wc had the semi-weekly mail regularly to our village: And to whatever inconvenience and expense wc may he subjected, in consequence of this injustice, none ot either shall extend tc them. - : ■— e published som docum' nts last wc< kin r< lation to the removal of the Post master at Gainesville, w hich prove to ns among other things, that a new era hascommcnccd in the duties rtfrnemhersef the Legislature. V. e had always thought, with all dm r spect to the opinions of the pa.ties concerned m that affair that lhed'uty of the legis lator consist-d m making and promulgating constitutFon al laws, to promote the prosperity and happim ss ol the peofle; but it has been reserved for the superior sagacity of Ge”. Bates and his coadjutors, to discover that it°is also the duty of members of the legislature, to set themselves up as an inquisitorial tribunal to inquire into and decide upon the qualifications and pclrical orthodoxy of all the I Post masters in the State! Acting upon this important discovery, that inimitable production, bearing date at ! 'dillcdgr’illcthc IGth of December last, was-penned and j acldressed to that inimitable pattern of political eonsisten : cy, who manages all thingslor us at ashington. How modifying must, it be to the lion. “Senator and Repre sentatives fiun the county of Hall,” (we fear that the i mnorabi -- Representative in Congress is too far gone to blush at any thing however ZittZe) to heboid all their secret machinations, th- mprivate plots, their hidden con spiracies, exposed to the light of day, and that which they intended should he kept as scent as tljc deeds of midnight, unfolded to the gaz< and ernsureof their felloxv-citizcns’ • inch has b- n said about the proscription of the Union party in Carolina, by the nullificrs, but it is yet (o be shev n they ever resorted to such dishonorable means togain the ascendency. V* c shrewdly suspect that the good people of Hall u ill infurrn these worthy members, onthefi-t'.-ondayin Cclober next, that inasmuch as th- y have accomplish <1 th<- most important object of their mission, they can in futun - , remain at home, and others Im sent in their ; laces, who will legislate publicly and in th.

S. Bank. Mr. I’or.sTTii has declared his willingness to vote for a na ticnal Bank of some description or other, but not for the p sent Bank of the I nitid States; while our other Sen ator,.Hr King, expresses a disposition to vote for an -•'teneon of the charter of the present Bank. But it is < lear that nothing can be cflcct- d towards the rc-char tf r -ft Bank, while Gen. Jackson is President. Every body rccolk cts bn mcniorabie veto < f the bill passed tor ■ ■i.’t purp isi byth- lat’ on grtss, and there is thus far po • ni - . that lie hi. < ;>ang .i ins opinions on that subject. ♦ hirown opinion.-, unimporta .t as they may be, arc i din- pp r ition to the re-chartei cl that tremendous in st.tuion. We consider the removal of the deposites as mi ?mne«-e.- ary and improvident act, and the means used b- the I’r idem to Hl rt that object, an extravagant assumption <A power; but wc are strict constructionists in theory and in practice, and s-o long as flic constitution al barrier exists, we shall ever oppose a re-charter of the bank. : m the ground ofexpedu ncy, too, we arc opposed to that ms-litutionj its powers arc too great; it will finally/ control the operations of the government, elect our i r-sid- nts and trample under foot our sacred constitution. c can never consent to the permanent establishment cf any institution of the kind, until we arc satisfied that lii- urrcncy of the country cannot be regulated without it and the public n w nues preserved and transferred cx c- pt through its instrumentality; and not then until the - onsttution has been altered, and the strongest guards : Heed over the powers of the institution chartered.
