We understand that every nerve will be strained to take command of Lake Ontario, during the next campaign—Three ships mounting 90 odd guns and rating more than 100, are spoken of.
We presume that the State Executive will not proceed to the appointment of the Field or other Officers under the Late Law, until they have heard from the P. U. S—The President will not receive State Corps of this description, until the Volunteer Bill is become a law—As this Bill has passed both Houses Congress, and waits only his signature to become a law we may soon expect to hear from him.
We shall pay our Respects to Governor Strong (in his late speech to the Legislature of Massachusetts,) and the Junta on their base proceedings—in our next.
Query. How does the present doctrine of Governor Strong, that the State Legislatures have a right to interpose in Federal matters, comport with the language of the same party expressed in the Resolutions of Massachusetts in 98?—They are directly opposite. So easily can ambition and faction change their language, to suit their mischievous purposes.
