Two w ek have now elapsed since
' the imetir.g of the Leg;sature, and but
little has been accomplished with the ex
atption of. pacing sundry oclsof a local
nature. The election of a Senator t
fill the vacancv occasioned by the res g
n.iii. n of the Hon. John Black, h-s b. en
postponed until the 22.1 inst. jlf'tty ol
tlie iDni l rs are in favor ot an adjourned
aeesi. n of the Legislature. Il this coursp
is MirsueJ. it is probable the election of
a S. nator to serve fur six y-ars from the
4 h rf Ma'ch 1C39 will nut ba g-ne into
during the pre,nt session. A UH has
" been 'introduced makings provision to
hold 8n election to enable the people l
ote for or against a Convention, with a
view of changing the Constitution. The
bill providfsthat in case a majority houbJ
be found in favor of a Convention that
the Governor shall issue writs of election
and that members to a convention shall
be ch' srn in the same manner as Senii
t'r and Representatives. A motion to
reject this hill was made on its first read
ing, which elicited a aharp debate, occu
pying nearly two days. The motion to

The nnithern men.beis were almost u

a debt of gratitude which I checrlully ac

ed on Congress if it had been thought
necessary and proper.
J he journals ot the National Conven
tion, and the published debates in the
Stale Conventions, which ratified the
Const'uution, conclusively show, that the
power to charier a bank as well as to cre
ate corporations, was solicited and refu
sed, and never intended to be con le wed
upon Congress. 1 f such a pretension is
now sanctioned by the people. Congress
will have it in their power; through cor
porjtions; to change the descent and dis
tribution ot property destroy cur re
sources &rcvenue,-evenlualy annihilate
the risetved rights of tht; States, and the
Government Will thus become a consoli

I nn warranted in assuring you, tlnrtl
the authorities not ohlv in (bis Stale, bur!
of the United States, have felt an a ox ion, I
solicitude to maintain the relations of
l.eaee aud Btrirt neutrality with the P.nt.
isb province in Upper and Lower Canada
at all tiro! since the commencement of
civil d stuibaiict 8 (herein, and have inal
ress-cts done what was incumfictit upon!
rhem to do to sustain these relations.-
The occuricnce to wuicb I have alluded,
is an oarage that has not been provoked 1
by any act done, or duty i.rgfeefed, br
the Government of this State or of tli ,
Union. If it should appear that this boat
waslntended to be used for tii purpose "
of keeping up an intercoui-o- between '
this Stite and Navy Island which is now
held by an assemldage of perfns in deli- if
ance of the Canad iati Government , ll)t
rirc utnsti'ice w'uid furnish no justifica- f
tion for the In-sli'n invasion of t'iirtcr j
nory and the destruction of Ihe lives of J
our citizens. . I
The General Government is entrusted I
wi'h the icainlainance of our foreign re-1
ations and will undoubtedly take the ne
cessary steps to redress ihe wrong and
sustain the honor of our country. -Though
I have received no official in
formation of the fact, I have good reason
t lelieve that the local authorities of
this State have taken prompt and efficient k
means, not only to protect our: Soil from .
further invasion, but to repress any retal. i;
iative measures of ggre''oi which our F
ritizens und Hhe impute of cb-eply ex ,
ci'ed and indignant felling', might rasbly
rrsJve to adopt, and that the patriots f
militia to the ririMty of Ihe scene of tha
outrsge, have obeyed with alacrity the
call which has been made upon tbera for
these purposes.
Il will probably be nacesary for this
State to keep up a military force for lh
protection of our citizens and ihe main'
tanance of peace, until an opportunity is
given f r the general government to intrp
pose with its power. In that event, (
apprehend (hat it will be necessary fo
you to p:ovide by law for the payment
and maintenance of uch forces as the oc
casion may require.
I shall doubtless receive, within a short
lime, official information of what the lo
cal outhorities have done, and shall be
better enabled to form an opinion of what
may be imrcssary on the pait of this
Slate to preserve our right and the pub
lic trarcpiihy. . I shall then communi
rate further with yotf on this subject, and
suggest such matters in relation to it M"
