tROM TIIF. FRAKKFORT (KY.) ARGUS. j
NATIONAL POLITICS. i
The next Prcsidcntiul election Ita subjcct
of general conversation, and the newspa
pers arc universally taking sides. It is now1
well understood, tnnt the content will be
between the present Incumbcnt, Mr.
lAdam?t and General Jaek?on. ,
Much speculation haft been indulged an to
the course the Argun would pursue on this
interesting subject, to whlcn it is proper
that we should put an end.
It Is well known, thnt before the Inst elec
tion Mr. Clay wa* our firu choice and Mr.
Adatn* our lutt. Wc labored much to con
vince our readers, and at any rate convinced
ourselves, that Mr. Adsms wan wholly nn
lit tor the exalted stAtion. When we lotl
our first choice, we became measurably In.
different to the result; hut our preference
was General Jaekton, because he. was a
western man, and more p.itlkulus})', be
cause he had no connexion wilff the cabinet.
In the result of the election we felt no gra
tification and no great disappointment, and
were disposed to judge of Mr. jyiams' ad
ministration by It* acts. In thofcc acts we
hnve seen something to applaud and some
thing tu condemn. In the Panama mission,
we. never could discover on what solid
ground the op|>ositlon rented their objections.
We dkl ifidecd sec good ground for opposi
tion to the claim setup by the President, of
a right to originate a mission in the rcccss
of the senate and without the consent of
that body. We carry the principle further,
and deny the right of President and senate
aether, to semi a mission to a people whose
epcmlencc has not been formally recng.
njzed by the congress ef the United States.
It always seemed to us, that Mr. Clay took
hold or the business at the fight pnd when
he offered his resolution in the house of re
presentatives, recognising the independence
of the South American Republics.
Nor can we approve the appointment to
office of some of the most inveterate old
federalists, especially where thoae appoint
ments were apparently made more Ks a
complimrnt than for any public good. For
instance, the appointment of Ilttfut King
at minister to Koglnnd, a man who had re
signed hieh stations previously because he
was too old snd infirm to All them, and hss
now resigned his cmbaSfty for the same rea
son, after pocketing, we suppose, near
30,000 of public money. Now a new outfit
of 9,000 do'lars has been paid tn a new min
ister, which would hare been saved had a
proper appointment been mode nt first.
One lUtle thing which, we confess, made
us ashamed of our chief Magistrate, was a
bill rendered to =<?ngrese during last session,
by his son, in which there were items
amounting to many hundred dollars, for bil
liard tables, billiard balls, chess-men, 6ec.
furnished the President's house. Most of
the states, we believe, prohibit tip game of
billiards as one of th?rworst specie* of gam
bling ( but it seems to be thought no harm
in the President and his Inmates, to make
themselves an example to the whole nation
of Indulgence In this proscribed game, Mid
?*U en the people topajr the ?o*t As well
SX tig'SSLXS^
much fienonat as to him or to any of hU
specific act*, m to the ingulphlng, consoli
dating principle* upon which the whole ma
chinery of the national government is now
conducted, and has been for some year*.?
Ever since the administration of Jefferson,
pies in the conduct of anyoflta departments.
A national Bank was then thought to be un
constitntion.il and anti republican; now it is
the favorite of the government. Then, it
was thought the states possessed, in rela
tion to their reserved powers, some degree
of I ml "pendent sovereignty, and that no
state could i>e made accountable for the acts
of its government, to any national tribunal)
now, there is no act of sovereignty, which
a Mate can exercise in defence of itself
against the encroachments of the general
government without being made responsible
to the judiciary of that government through
its officers, whom, to evade the plain mean
ing of the constitution, they" affect to consi
der as private individuals, punishable in their
private capacity for acts notoriously official,
and done in obedience to the law* of their
state. Thus is the provision of the consti
tution that declares the state* shall not be
sued in the federal courtsf rendered wholly
nugatory. "
Many arc the misconstructions which the
national judiciary have put upon the consti
tution, enlarging their own power* and fet
tering the state*; but it Unot oujr purpose to
enumerate them here. We shall only ipe-ik
further of those which concern the present
administration and the state of Kentucky.
From the apathy which prevails, one
would suppose that the people of Kentucky
had forgot the code of execution law? drawn
by Judge Trimble for the federal court,
which at the time of their promulgation,
apparently excited the indignation of ail
purtie* in this stuto. We thmight then, as
is proved by the result, that most of the
lawyers opposed them merely to prevent
their having any cffect on the approaching
election. Isot a lisp of opposition or com
plaint is now heard from them, and this ju
dicial code Is silently executed as the legiti
mate law of this land. This quiet submis
sion of the state to such an outrage on the
liberties of the people, depriving them, to
a considerable extent, of the power of le
gislating in relation to thtjr properties and
pasMMt^^mfeemw amrtffit favor of the
permanency of our ftec lnstUuUont. It cAn
only be accounted fbi* from the present influ
ence of the leading layer*, who sec in it a
more .direct way ttyui had bcefl before in
vented, by which the people con be subject
ed to their direct government.
The case was represented to congress;
but that hody found so man/ weighty mat
ters to talk about, that they could pay little
attention to so trifling a thing as the direct
usurpation of legislative power by the
[judge*. _ .
,By the death of Judge Todd a vacancy
wa? occasioned on the bench of the supreme
court, and it was honed that, in filling It,
the President would nave been induced to
psy some regard tojhe principle* unci inter
ests of Kentucky in relation to hcroccuimnt
laws and limitation 1-iwy, which had oeen
made to attract the attention of the nation,
and had, we believe, by Mr. Clay, when in
congress, been madu otic of the grounds for
adding Judges to the supreme court from the
West. But instead of selecting a known
friend of the rights of the state, the Presi
dent Ailed the vacancy with Judge Trimble,
the known enemy of all these laws; thereby
setting upon them hi* seal of reprobation,
rvl giving hi* sanction to that Instance of
\ judicial /-gitfotion which all Kentucky had
appeared to condemn. , Thus ha* the des
truction of our occupant and limitation law*,
and direct judicial feghlation, received the
sanction of President Adams. What has
Kentucky to expect fr??m him? Why, that
he will fill every vacancy In the federal
courts with men of like principle*. Should
the judicial svstcm bu extended, as was at
tempted at tne late session of congress, she
has onlv to expect that the new officers will
be filled with men equally hostile to h?r ex
isting laws and her legislative power. Her
hope of redress will be diminished in the pre
cise proportion of the increase of the supreme
court. She may sec hernelf made two Jtro
vince* instead of our, each with Its jiulicial
irre*i>onsililc legislator*, setting aside her
laws, and seising the proprieties and Impri
soning the bodies of her citizens, under
their own arbitrary rules, in the making of
which the representatives of her iieople
have had no voice.
Jimflhatkalfyt we again ask, what ha*
Kentucky totjihect from thr /irrtent couroe
of the national government/ Hhe may aee
what she ha* to expect in *ome of the late
decision* of Judge Trimble. Already had
our seven years' limitation law been declar
ed void, and the countrv had acquiesced.
Now, <mr twenty yeai s limitation law is al
so declared \ old as *o all claimants who ne
ver resided in Kentucky or Virginia, and
multitudes of our cltiiem, arc doomed to be
turned out of liouse and home, of which
they have been in |M?ssessk?n twenty-five,
thirty, or forty years. This is intolerable,
and it is not Mirprising that we hear every
where in the country the expression of a
determination never to submit to It. We
understand there are immense claims of this
description, and among them one whieh
covers the whole county of Maoon, and
part* of some of the acfyota'Ot counties.,. Is
it believed that every farmer in Mason, and
every owner of toWn property, is prepared
- see the vllue ef his Improvements Man
to
ccd by rents charged against him. forth*
?M?( the very property which he has made
the regular, longstanding, pnd long ack now
Iedged laws of his country? May the day of
trial never cOmel ? *??*?
But thU trial* 1f not worse* Kentucky hlf
to expect from the present course of the]
national government. Is it possible that we, |
or any mutn who thinks as we do, can sup
port Mr. Adam, who, by his official acts,
sanctions all these encroachments of the Ju
diciary? Those yho think we can support
him, most think that we ark operated on
by a power superior to our principle*, In
which, as they always liave, they will again
And themselves mistaken. Yet we Intend
nothing like an Indiscriminate or factious op
position. We will not censure thst which
we believe deserves no censure, nor will we
laud or support others In any such course.
In relation to General Jackson, we should
like to be better satisfied than we are, as to
his opinions on some of these topics. We
know that his supporters generally approach
nearer our opinions,, nnd the old Jeffersonian
standard In politics, than those of Mr.
Adams. On the score of principle, we
have nothing to fear, and much to hope, by
substituting (>aicral Jackson for Mr. Adams.
Nor do we apprehend any danger to our in
stitutions from his military genius. In his
.career, we have found .tome things to con
demn, and we did not "fail to express our
opinion. We trust we shull not lose the in
dependence or the inclinatic n to wum our
countrymen of the denser, should we ever
find General Jackson, In the character of,
President, tramnling on the Institutions of
the country. We do not fear from him acts1
which would tarnish all his glory; and if lie
had the dii?i>oaition, we have no apprehen
sion that lie would And the means to conquer
n million of armed freemen, tdn the whole,
we do not hesitate to express our preference
of General Jackson over Mr. Aomsis, as in
the late contest, si l our intention to sup
port him at the next election nf President.
If the friends nf Mr. Adam-. wish,
through Mir columns, to discuss the subject,
tlipir communications, if written in the lib
eral style winch wc Intend to maintain, wilt
be cheerfully inserted. We ssy the same
to the friends of General Jackson. We
wish not to see. and indeed we cannot toler
ate. that degree of abuse on either side
which already disgrace* many papcrsof the
Union.
To the family of the Secretary of i>tatc,
the writer of this article is under the itrung
est obligations of yratitude, nnd fn.in Mr.
Clay himself he lia? received u.-'.iy us.ts of
kinrncs*. When sick and a stranger, he
wr.s treated under his roof, with as much
t are and tenderness as if he h id been a bro
ther. To avoid this controversy, i.i which,
if he took part at all, it must be indirectly
in opposition to the hopes of his bent fat Vnv,
he (Ictcrmed to sell hi* interest in this otttc*,
and quit, at least for n time, the id'toriui
urena. lint no opportunity*!! as yet netted
for the accomplishment of that object, un-l
demands frotn all quarters to know whether
wc intended to support AiUms or
made necessary the declaration tit our n.tcn
tior.s. If our course sIihII ultimately u.jun.
the prospects of Mr. Clav, the writer w.:l
sincerely regret that consequence; '.>ui nei
ther consistency nor principle win permit
him to support Mr. Adams, or approve the
present course of the grvYal g-iveramcat.
if compelled to remain at this ;K?*t, In* must
