NOTiICE.
HATYC OFTHE METROPOLI.?~


COLUMBIAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
"L HE Third Annual Exhibition of Flowers,
i Fruits, and Vegetables,has been fixed to take
place at the City Hall on Wednesday and Thurs-
day, the 8th and 9th days of June next.
The following gentlkmcn have been named a
Committee of Arrangements, viz:
WVx. Rice, Chairman.
J. F. Callan, Joshua Pierce,
Rob. Dick, J. A. Smith,
J. S. Guiinell, Alex'r Suter,
P. Mauro, Win. Yeates,
Alex'r McWiliiams, Rob. Barnard.
The committee respectfully invite a renewal,
on this occasion, of that zealous co operation by
the friends of the society in the District, which
has hitherto produced such noble, beautiful, and
encouraging displays, in every branch. Those
who purpose to add their contributions to the
Floral Department are informed that, on appriz-
ing any one of the committee of their wishes in
that behalf, their plants, shrubs, and flowers, will
be conveyed to and from the place of exhibition
at the society's cost, and careful persons will be
employed in their transportation, to insure their
return to their respective owners without injury.
The committee are aware of the disastrous con-
sequences of a repetition of a 19ng and most severe
winter. Yet they are well assured that such diffi-
culties have only stimulated the real friends of the
good cause to renewed exertions; and that as tlihy
have once "put their hands to the plough, they
will not turn back."
It has been further resolved, that upon timely
application by non-residents of the District, wish-
ing to exhibit their collections on this occasion,
they will ba permitted to do so, and that appropri-
ate situations for their advantageous display of them
will be reserved.
The attention of the market gardeners is recalled
to the volunteer prize specified below, offered by
a member of the Society.
By order of the Committee of A-rangements.
WM. RICHI, Chairman.
May 21,1836.

flavor, and prolific bearing (being all taken into

The exhibitor is to accompany them with a declara-
tion of their being the product of his own raising,
and with a description of the name of the variety,

TO THE PUBLIC.
T IHE cotton planters of the south are deeply
interested in an inquiry which has been re-
cently suggested as to the production of cotton in
its natural state of various colors. Mr. Lyford of
Baltimore first assured me of the very important
fact that it could be done; and in proof of it he gave
me specimens of these various colors, and also ex-
hibited the seed which had been presented to him
at Chili. Of these varieties, the "light nankeen"
and a "beautiful brown" were shown me.
In a recent publication of my own, entitled the
"Memoir of Samuel Slater, connected with the
History of the Culture and Manufacture of Cot-
ton," I have alluded to this important discovery.
In the further prosecution of my inquiries at
Washington, CAREY SELDE N, Esq., informed me,
that in settling the estate of Commodore Thompson
it was found, that in his lifetime hlie had brought
from Chili specimens and samples of the "light
brcwn," and the light lilac."
He had also brought home with him the seeds
of these various colors, with a laudable desire of
introducing their cultivation, and the seed was
given to the Hon. ,John Forsyth, Dixon H. Lewis,
and Mr. Davis; but upon trial, the seed was found
too old for vegetation.
Thus the death of Commodore Thompson unfor-
tunately prevented the introduction of this new
and valuable article.
I have thought proper to bring these facts to
the notice of all cotton planters, for the purpose
of interesting them in this subject, and; for the
purpose of illLiting their investigation of the mat-
ter, by inquiry and experiment.

INDUSTRY.
r THIS thorough bred racehorse wil
again occupy his old stand at my
stable, eight miles from Winchester,
-lJ ,eight from Newtown, eight from Bat-
tietown, four from Millwood, and two and a half
from the White Post-and be let to mares at 15
dollars the single leap, if paid within the season;
if not paid within that time, the season price will
be charged. $25 the season, payable on the first
of August, and $40 for insurance, to be paid as
soon as the mare is known to be with foal. (Part-
ing with the mare, or irregular attendance at the
stAnd, forfeits the insurance.) In every case 50
cents cash to the groom, to be sent with the mare.
Mares put by the season or leap last yeae, that
did not prove with foal, will be insured at the sea-
son price this year. Mares from a distance will
be furnished with pasturage without' charge,
Those wishing to put mares' early in season, can
have them furnished with provender of every de-
scripti n at a moderate price. Care will be taken
to avoid accidents and escapes, but I will not be
accountable for them.
Industry is a beautiful dark brown 16 hands
and one quarter of an inch high, :wel years old
this spring, and is one of the largest and best form-
ed thorough bred sons of his distinguished sire (Sir
Archy.) His performances under his former name
(Niger) and his present name, rank him with the
best horses for speed and bottom, and as a foal
getter he is inferior to none. IE one of Ihis races
over the Baltimore course, he ran 4 miles in 7
minutes and 53 seconds.

PERFORtMAcEs.-October, 1827, when three
ye-irs old, he ran for the post stake over the New-
market course, which he won in fine style. Next
week, over the Tree Hill course, he won the
sweepstakes. Next spring, (4'years old,) he was
beaten over Broad Rock course, 4 mile heats, by
Sally Hope-a good race. He was then taken t
Bahltimore, and won the 3 mile heats, beating
Bachelor. Fall of the same year, at Washington,
hlie won the colt's purse, 2 mile heats; next day lihe
won the Jocky Club purse- 3 mile heats, beating
Molatto, Mary, and othe: Next week, at Balti
more, won the 4 mile eats, beating Bachelor.
May, 1829, (then 5 years old,) over the Washing-
ton course, be won the Jocky Club purse, 4 mile
heats. Next fall he was beaten over the Hagers-
town course, in which race he broke down, and
has never started since.

CONGRESSIONAL.

SPEECH OF MR. HILL,
O() NRW HAMPSHIRE.
J.n Senate, Ma]y..27, 1836-On Mr. BENTON'S ex-
punging resolutions.
Mr. PRESIDENT. t! e preamble and rcso!ution of
the Senator from Tennessee, (Mr. White,) which
have be en introduced as a substitute, are of that
hermaphrodite character that pleases neither side,
and being abandoned on all hands, must fall to the
ground. 'They are only important so far as they
countenance the principal argument that has been
i Urged against expunging the record; and it is re-
nrarkablt that the burden of the song has been,
rot that the condemnatory resolution was right, but
1hat it was a violation of the constitution to ex-
npunge wh;t was clearly wrong from the journal
*'E:ach House shall keep a journal of its pro-
ceedings, tnd from time to time publish the same."
]leie is a positive act to be performed; and when
the act is done, the injunction is fully complied
with. If it were intended to apply to all journals,
:as relating to this or that particular session of the
Senate, theQ language would have been so definite
as not to be mistaken. If it had been intended to
keep ar.d press erve the original manuscript journal,
-language conve) ing that idea would have been
used. The mandate of the constitution has been
fully complied smith, when the journal has been
kept a sufficient time to "publish the same."
Copies are then multiplied, so there can be no
mistake as to what the journal contained; and any
subsequent vote of either House to expunge any
particular part of any single copy of the journal,
is no more a violation of the injunction to keep a
journal, than it is of that part of the constitution
which authorizes the people to elect members of
the IIouse of Representatives.
The Senator from Virginia, (Mr. Leigh,) probably
as an offset to the resolutions recently passed by
the Legilature of hls State, directing the Senators
from that State to present and vote for expunging
the condemnatory resolution from the journal, a
few (dlys ago presented a memorial from John
Timberlake, and others of that State, against ex-
punging. 'These memorialists consider the propo-
skion to expunge to be "a plain and palpable vio.
Mlion of the constitution, and it is remarkable that
they offer the following as the only reason against
its constitutionality.
"Suffice it to say, that to their humble under-
standinf, 'to keeF," as here used by the consti-
tution, means to preseri, and that the latter clause
of the. constitutional provision, as previously quo.
t~ d, furnishes a key to the interpretation of that
which precedes it, since it would be obviously im-
possible topublish the journal from time to time, ii
suchljoiWeal had not been' kept and preserved."
tHere'% an admission that the journal is to be
preserved only for the purpose of being published.
'What is the fthference? It can be no other than
* that4'l4n thus kept, the whole purpose of the
constitution- h1s been complied with. 1 will here-
' after make inquiry for what other purpose the
journal can be kept. In relation to the keeping
of the journal of the House of Representatives
thirty-five years, I have received information
from the clerk in the following letters:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. S.,
.pril 6, 1836.5
DExaI SiP In answer to the inquiry contained
'in your letter of this morning, I have to state thai
* the original rough mauscrrpt journal of the House
of Representatives of the United States (those
read on the mornings) have not been preserved tc
aaperiodlanlerior to the commencement of the
first session, eighteenth Congress, (1823, '4.)
For your further information, I enclose you a
copy of a communication from Mr. Burch on the
subject. *i
With very grcat respect, I am, sir,
Your obedient servant,

OFFICE, HOUSE orF REPS. U. S.
SSApril 6,1836 S
d entered this office a youth, under John Beck.
ley, who was the first clerk of the House of Re-
presentatives uoiaer the present Constitution ol
the United States, and who died in the year 1807.
During the,-recess of Congress he put me al
what was termed* "recording the journal" of the
preceding session, which was to write it off from
the printed copy into a. lathe bound volume. !
inquired of him why it was that it was copied,
when t:;ere were so many printed copies? He an.
swelrd that the printed copies would probably, in
time, disappear from use, &c.-the large*MS. vol.
ume icpuld not ~~t
T he "rough journal," as ,it was then termed,and
is still termed, being the original rough draft read
in the H-ouse on the morning after the day of which
it narrates the proceedings, was not, and had not,
from the beginning, been r;reserved. I inquired
the reason, and was answered, that the printed co
py w the official copy, as it was printed uindei
the official order of the House; and, as errors,
which were sometimes discovered in the iougr


journal, were corrected inthe proofs of the printed
copy, the pi inted copy was the most correct, and
that, therefore, there was no use in lumbering the
office with the "rough journal" after it had been
Sprint d.
Two of Mr. Beckley's immediate successors in
office, Mr. Macgruder and Mr. Dougherty, viewed
? e matter as Mr. Beckley viewed it. I know the fact
rom ha'ing"called their attention to the subject.
I often reflected upon the subject, and it appear.
ed to me to be proper that the "rough journal'
should be preserved; although I could not see
any purpose whatever to be answered by doing
so. I often ponversed with the clerks of the of
fice UWon the subject, lAt as we were only subordi-
nates, the practice was not changed till 1st session
of the 18th Congress, (1823,'4,) when Idetermin.
led, with oticonsulting my superior,that the "Irough
journal" should no longer be thrown away, but
be preserved and bound in volumes; and it has
been regularly preserved and bound since,
With great respect, I am, sir,
*our obedient servant.
S. BURCH.
COI.-WALTER S. FRANKLIN,
Clerk House of Representaives U. S.
By these letters it appears that the original
maftscript journal, the journal which is read in
the morning of every day, succeeding that of the
proceedings, was kept and preserved precisely long
enough to answer the purpose designated by the
* memorial from Virginia. It was kept long enough
,to be plbfshed, when the original journal was
destroyed or laid aside, and a new manuscript
copy was taken from the printed publishedjour.
Ral. Here fre facts in relation to the journal that
cannot be gainsayed; facts which prove, that
efn the destruction of the original manuscript
journal, after that journal has been printed and
published, was never dreamed to be a violation of
that clause of the constitution, which requires
each House of Congress to keep journal of its
proceedings. For the first thirty-five years, in
construing the constitution, plain common sense
had not been driven from our legislative halls by
the refinement of sophistry-the world of argi.
,A 4 44 1 I -


pui'ge, nor even any act of defacing the manu-
scriptjournal, can militate with the mandate of
thia constitution, % which requires each House of
Congress "to keep a journal of its proceedings,
and from time to time publish the same," after the
journal shall have been kept a sufficient length of
time to be published.
Some thirteen years ago, I first visited the
city of Washington, during the sitting of Congress.
The Supreme Court of the United States was at
the same time in session. A gentleman of the
bar, now of the Senate, from Kentucky, (Mr. Clay,)
was engaged before the court on one side of a
case; and another gentleman from the same State,
(Kentucky,) then, and now, a member of the
[House of Representatives, of somewhat rougher
aspect, (Mr. Hardin,) argued the case on the oth2r
t side. I listened attentively to both. The routh-
er gentleman, in the course d" his argument,
talked of tne practice in Kentucky, and with
great nonchalance informed the court how he
gained an important land cause in that State. He
cr, ated, he said, a false or feigned issue before the
sitting of the court, and led the antagonist party
to confine his attention exclusively to the taking
of testimony in relation to that feigned issue.
Keeping the real point a secret from the adverse
party, he carried his case at the triai by surprise.
I Marshall), and Ihtuhrodl Washington, then on the
bench, smiled at the frank expression of the blunt
attorney, who told the story as if he really thought
Slie deserved credit for the trick.
There are many feigned issues, Mr. President;
but few who practise them are as candid as was
this Kentucky lawyer, before the Supreme Court.
When the idea was first broached, that a resolu-
tion having no necessary reference to any existing
laws could not be expunged from the legislative
journal of the Senate, because the constitution re-
quires the Senate to keep a journal of its proceed-
ings, I would not have believed that such a
feigned issue could be entertained so long as
really to have assumed the appearance of settled
seriousness. Surely, in all the expunging that
heretofore has taken place, it never before entered
into the heart of man to conceive such an objec-
tion as this.
It is said the constitution requires a journal to
" be kept; and therefore no part of this journal can
be mutilated, struck out, or destroyed. If it be an
imperative constitutional injunction to preserve,
t there must be some object to be gained by the
preservation. The journal can be useful for no
other purpose, than the preservation of evidence
of proceedings.
All those partsrof the journal relating to laws that
have become obsolete, or to proceedings that are
of no consequence, are valuable only as objects
of curiosity, or as matters of history: the public
interest cou'd not suffer, if such parts were ut-
terly destroyed. The journal of the Senate is
kept and preserved for no other purpose, than to
show when and how laws are passed, and it is of
i as much consequence to preserve the engrossed
bill or resolution in that branch of the Legisla-
ture, in which such engrossed bill or resolution
originated, as it is to preserve the journal of pro-
ceeding, to show the progress and history of the
same bill or resolution. If both the engrossed bill
and the journal were destroyed, the enrolled bill
on parchment would remain, which would be evi-
dence of the existence of the law; and even if that
enrolled bill were destroyed, the law would still
be in existence, if there remained any where pub-
t listed copies, which had been certified as from
the original.
S The object of possessing an official copy of the
journal of legislative proceedings, is simply to pre-
serve collateral evidence that existing laws passed
in due course of legislation: other evidence than
these journals, such as petitions on which laws
are predicated, reports of committees on those
petitions, minutes of reference, original drafts of
bills or resolutions or amendments, may be equally
important; and yet it will not be urged that the
destruction or obstruction of these, either weakens
the force of the law, or violates the constitution.
There are various ways in which the manuscript
journal of the Senate may be obliterated or de-
stroyed. The building may take fire, and that,
with the journal, may be accidentally burned: a
thief may steal it, and carry it off, or bury it in the
water or in the earth: the minutes may take fire
During an evening session, and thus prevent the
SSecretary from copying the proceedings at length.
f The constitution requires journal to be kept:
would all these casualties or acts by which the
t journal shall be destroyed, be so many viola-
- tions of the constitution?
S Even if the resolution now under consideration,
without reciting it, went so far as entirely to ob-
, literate a former resolution that should be deemed
Improper to be retained on the journal, I cannot
Concede that the act of obliteration would be
Unconstitutional. If that resolution were an existing
law, still intended to be kept in force, the act of
Obliteration would no't nullify the law: applied
Sto a simple declaratory resolution that was never
intended to have the force of a law, the oblitera-
, tion cannot harm the people for whose benefit all
I laws are made; and if it does not harm them, it
" can be no infringement of the constitution, such
Sas is worthy of reprobation.
1 marvel much at the pertinacity with which
this question is attempted to be discussed as an
I infrinjrement of the constitution. It seems to me


that, by taking the ground they do, tlie opponents
of the expunging resolution blink the real ques-
tion: it has all the appearance of a mere subter-
fuge. The horns of' this altar will not protect
them-the crylf' "a violated constitution," as it is a
t virtual confession that the people are right in de-
t mending the obliteration of an infamous record,
so it furnishes strong presumptive evidence of
consciousness that the resolution to be expunged
was wrong in itself.
M My object is not, Mr. President, so much to
argue the question of power in the Senate to ex-
" punge, as to show that the sentence of condem-
* nation passed on the Pre sident of the United States
was not only extra-judicial, but unjust; for I con-
ceive it to be a most inglorious evasion that Sena-
tors now say this sentence of condemnation im-
t puted to the President no crime. If the Senators
8 from Louisiana (Porter) and Virginia (Leigh) will
look back to the criminal charges of "high
crimes and misdemeanors" which were almost
daily made in this body two years ago, they may
well conclude that the people of the United States
will repose little fith in the assertion now, that
the resolution of April, 1834, imputed to the
President of the United States no criminal in-
tention. To show that it was the intention to
impute the highest criminality to the President in
the passage of that resolution, the speeches of
more than one Senator who voted for it might be
quoted. One single extract from the speech of
the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) after
the resolution had passed, will serve my purpose:
. IN SENATE, April 30, 1834 -Mr. Clay rose:
"Never," said lie, Mr. president, have I known
or read of an administration which expires with
st o much agony, and so little composure and re-
signation, as that which now, unfortunately, has
the control of public affairs in this country. It
exhibits a state of mind feverish, fretful, and
fidgetty [a beautiful alliteration!] bounding ruth-
lessly from one expedient to another, without any
sober or settled purpose.
"* u i w t
"But I would ask in what tone, temper, and


for the protest is the last stroke upon the last na'l
driven into the coffin (not of Jackson-may he
live a thousand years!) but of Jacksonism!"
In a speech delivered at Concord, New Hamp-
shire, in October, 1834, by a Senator (Mr. Web-
ster) who voted for the condemnatory resolution,
I find the following strong and positive assertion;:
"It is true, that the operation commenced with
the Branch Bank in this State, (New Hampshire )
It was tried to make that bank a political institu-
tion. Men here applied to the President to make
the bank at Portsmouth a political bank. Fhley
wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury to do this.
These are facts-made known to the world-not
disputed."
It never was asserted, then, that the bank
was unconstitutional-that it was a 'monster.' And
there was good reason for this silence. The
bank had taken no part in politics; no one had
been wicked enough to bring it into the political
arena. It is as true as that our fathers fell at
Bunker's Hill, at Lexington, and at Monmouth,
that this outcry against the bank was raised le-
cause the bank refuse t to be made a political en-
gine."-Same speech.
This language was used by that honorable Sena-
tor about the same time that a committee of the
Senate, commonly called the H hitewashiing Com-
mit/tee, reiterated the same and other similar lan-
guage in justification of the Bank and in condem-
nation of those who opposed its recharter.
I intend, in the remarks I have to make, to no-
tice the charge that the operation commenced"
by an attempt on the part of the friends of the ad-
ministration "to make the bank at Portsmouth a
political bank;" and the statement that the bank
had taken no part in politics." The testimony
on which the charge and disclaimer have been
based, is the authority and word of the President
of the bank. I shall confront these statements
generally, with other statements coming from the
same quarter; and if I shall fail to prove by the
President of the bank, that the President of the
bank and the aforesaid Senator charged falsely
when he charged the attempt to make the
Branch Bank at Portsmouth a political engine-
if I shall fail to demonstrate, on the authority of
the President of the bank himself, that he had
entered, with all the money of the bank, into the
political arena, 1 will concede that the friends of
the bank have not been quite as much in the
wrong as the enemies of the bank have alleged.
I understood the Senator from Virginia (Mr.
Leigh) to say, there is no promf of abuses and mis-
conduct of the Bank of the United States, unless
we take charges against the bank for evidence
against the bank. if he intends by this to justify
the resolution of the Senate which condemned the
President of the United States without a hearing-
for it is presumed he would impute these unprov-
ed or false charges against the bank to the Presi.
dent, who has been assailed as the bank's greatest
enemy-I will answer his allegation, that the Presi-
dent is guilty, by making the bank falsify its own
charges, and disprove the bank's innocence by the
confessions of the bank's own principal officer.
The Senator from Virginia says he is strictly and
peculiarly a lawyer, meaning, I presume, a lawyer
as contradistinguished from the legislator or the
politician. Judging from the character of his
speech alone on the expunging resolution, I agree
that his description of himself is correct; for who
so well as the mere lawyer can wrap up the plain-
est proposition in a web of metaphysical subtleties?
To those who place implicit faith in him, all his
propositions and deductions undoubtedly carry the
weight of mathematical demonstration. To my-
self his whole speech appeared in the true charac-
ter of the lawyer, who makes the most for his cli-
ent; his argument was the reversal of that rule
which every plain, unsophisticated mind would
adopt to convince others of the truth as it had con-
vinced itself; he seemed to entrench himself in a
citadel of assumptions, applied to the case as he
would have it; and he afterwards made all his facts
precisely to conform to his assumptions. The late
'Thomas Addis Emmett was once concerned as as-
sociate counsel in a case with Aaron Burr, in which
the latter had the prior management. When the
case was about comi:xg to trial, Emmett asked
Burr what facts they could prove in support of
their client? The answer was, ask not what we
can prove; rather ask what is necessary to be
proved? Here is a specimen of the mere lawyer.
It was in that early age of the practice probably,
when the profe-sion had not learnt to throw off, as
legislators, their ex parte character as lawyers, that
they were excluded from the Britsh Parliament.
"Sir Richard Baker, in his Chronicle, under the
year 1736, records, that the House of Commons
ordered that no man of the law should be returned
as knight of the shire, and, if returned, that lihe
should have no wages." I would by no means
recur to this precedent as a parliamentary prac-
tice at this time binding on either House of Con-
g'iess.
The point on whi h I would first comment, is
the charge which has been so often repeated by
the bank and its friends involved in the contro-
versy, relative to the removal of Mr. Mason from
the presidency of the branch of New Hampshire."
'Ihis charge was not conjured up until nearly
three years after the events to which it alludes
had transpired. It first made its appearance in the
report of' a single member of the committee of the


House of Representatives appointed on the 15th
of March, 1832, to examine and report on the
books and proceedings of the Bank of the United
States "
The committee had been in session twenty-four
days at Philadelphia, (from March 22d to Apri
14th) and were about to close the examination,
when the following proceeding was had:
On motion of Mr. WATMOUG11,
Resolved, That the President of the Bank of
the United States be requested to furnish the com-
mittee with copies of the correspondence between
himself and the Secretary of the Treasury, and
Isaac Hill, late Second Comptroller of theT'reasu-
ry, with reference to charges made against the
official conduct of Jeremiah Mason, President of
the United States Branch B.ink in New Hamp-
shire."
The correspondence, in manuscript, making
more than forty closely printed pages, was pro-
duced by Mr. Biddle on the instant. It bore evi-
dent marks of age, having been thumbed till parts
of it were scarcely legible. The majority of
the committee, it is understood, before that day,
had never heard of this correspondence, nor Had
it entered into the heart of mortal man concerned
in this correspondence, excepting Nicholas Bid-
dile himself, to conceive that it could be tortured
into a purpose or use such as was afterwards made
of it. If a majority of the committee had time
or opportunity to scan this correspondence, they
would by no means suppose that such an infer-
ence could be deduced from it, as seems to have
been discovered by the keen optics of a single
member, (Mr. J. Q. Adams,) and afterwards con-
curred fully in all the statements made, and
principles developed," by another member of the
minority (Mr. J. G. Watmough.) Mr. Adams's
report relative to this correspondence was in the
words following:
I' The complaints made against the president of
the bank at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the
summer of 1829, and the correspondence be-
tween the board at Philadelphia and the late Se-
cretaries of the Treasury and of' War, form a por-
tion of the documents relating to the books and
proceedings of the bank, called for by the corn-


bank from its vestal purity, into a base political
connexion with the administration.
Having been promulgated by an ex-President
of the United States in the legislative hall, and
thus openly by a director? of the bank, [by a Mr.
Platt, at a public hotel in Trenton, undertaking
to vouch for the truth of Mr. Adams's statement,]
it cannot fail to justify this notice. To be silent
would be to sanction for truth what 1 know to be
false, and deeply prejudicial to my character."

''When the friendly purpose of my letter is
duly appreciated, in connexion with the repeated
declarations pressed upon me of the political
abuses of certain branch banks, in corroboration
of which it was added that the selections of di-
rectors were, in many branches, made entirely
from one political party, it should be rather a
matter of surprise that my suggestions should be
so little obnoxious even to severe and suspicious
criticism. It requires but little knowledge of
the human character to know, that no bank can
be faithfully aind impartially conducted where the
directors are selected from one sect, whatever its
character may be, provided their selection is made
with a view to their sectarian opinions; and when
directors are found thus arranged, however pure
they may be, it will be almost impossible to satisl)
even an enlightened public opinion, that there
may not have been some design in the arrange-
ment. The obvious and natural means to pre-
vent abuse in such a case, as well as to sa-
tisfy public opinion, and even to confound cla-
mor, (which is sometimes necessary in the ad-
ministration of' public affairs,) is to give some
variety to the organization of' the board.-
Such were the reflections which induced the
suggestion of forming suitable 'checks and coun-
terbalances' to preserve a proper equilibrium in
the manageirent of the institution; a measure in
its conception purely admonitory and preserve
tive, not only tending to prevent the pernicious
influence of political bias in the operations of the
bank, but incapable of being perverted to such
abuse; suggested, too, by the constitutional repre-
sei.tative of one-fifth of the whole stock; forms the
solitary point, left by Mr. Biddle. on which it is to be
presumed Mr danis has founded his grave and so-
lrmn charge. I shall not now attempt to show the
difference between a measure proposed to prevent,
and one to promote an abuse, nor enter upon a
discussion of the rights of the constituent or repre-
sentative to advise the agent, or attempt to prove
that what might properly have been addressed to
the directors appointed by the President might,
with the same propriety, be addressed to the
whole board. The question of right is too clear
to admit of a doubt. The character of the pro-
ceeding must therefore depend on its fitness, and
the motives which induced it, on whatever grounds
it shall be placed, I am content to be judged by a
discerning public.
Of Mr. Adams, however unwarrantable his at-
tack upon me, it seems most fit that I should say
as little as possible. A great man has said of him
'that he could not see the truth:' this case is a
striking example of the wisdom of that obser-
vation."
Mr. Ingham says, in the same letter, 1" the Sec-
retary cf tile Treasury, for the time being, is ex-
clusively responsible for all the sentiments con-
tained in his correspondence."
'I'his explanationn of Mr. Ingham, who surely
could hav- no interest to exculpate any person in
the administration other than himself, would seem
to be sufficient. So far as relates to one of the
two departments, he takes to himself exclusively
the responsibility, and denies any and every at-
tempt to exercise an exceptionable or unlawful
control on the part of the government of either the
bank or any of its branches.
Yet in the face of this positive denial of Mr.
Ingham, the directors of the bank (in a report
adopted by a vote of twelve to three, December
3, 1833, many thousands of which report were
gratuitously circulated, and paid for out of the
friends of the bank) reiterate the charge in the
following words:
"It was in the midst of this career of inoffensive
usefulness, whensoon after the accession to pow-
er of the preseittExecutive, the purpose was dis-
tinctly revealed that other duties than those to thle
country were required; and that it was necessary
for the bank, in administering its affairs, to consult
the political views of those who had now ob-
tained the ascendancy in the Executive. II is un-
deirtood that soon after that event, a meeting was
held in Washington of the principal chiefs, to consi-
der, the means of perpelualins' their new auihoiity,
and the possessionof the bank was among the most
prominent objects of the parties assembled. The
first open manifestation of the purpose was in
June, 1829, whena concerted effort was marde by
thle executive officers to interfere in the electionn
of the board of directors at Portsmouth. At the
head of this atteinp was Mr. Levi Wo5dbury, now
a member of tlie present Cabinet at Washiigton,
who did not hesitate to avow in a letter to the
Secretary of the treasuryy, which, though mark-
ed 'confilential,' was subsequently ordered to
be published by thq committee of investigation in
1832,* that he wishedd the interference of the
Government,to remove the President of the branch
at Portsmouth. This letter of Mr. Wood-



bury was transmitted to the bank by the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury, w ho stated that fromm some
expressions in his letter, it may be inferred that
it is partly foundedlon a supposed application of
the influence of tht bank, with a view to political
effect;' in consequence of which, he deemed it
his duty to presentfit to the bank, 'with the views
of the admini traliin in relation to it.' At the
same time, Mr. Isaac Hill, acting as the Comptrol-
ler of the Treasuryiuntil rejected by the Senate,
and now a Senatorof the United States, sent a
memorial from the tnembers of his political party
in the Legislature cf New Hampshire, requesting
the removal of Mr.:Mason. In another commu-
inication presented io the bank, he gave it as his
opinion that no measure, short of Mr. Mason's re.
moval, could tend Ilo reconcile the people of New
Hampshire to the bdnk, and that the friends of
General 'Jackson, ift New Hampshire, have had
but too much reason to complain of the manage-
ment of the branch at Portsmouth.' Finally, the
Secretary at War ottered the transfer of the pen-
sion fund from tho branch bank at Portsmouth,
to another bank in Concord, an fcct so obviously in
violation of the laws, that it was first resisted by
the bank, and then retracted by the Secretary.
"It became then manifest to the bank, that there
was a combined efllrt to render the institution
subservient to political purposes, and that it was
necessary to come to some immediate and dis-
tinct understanding of its rights and duties."
To sustain this reiteration of an already ex-
ploded charge, the managers of the bank are
obliged to resort to!a fiction of their own inven-
tion, for which there is not even the slightest pre.
tence of a foundation. They say "it is under-
stood that soon after that event, a meeting was
held in Washington of the principal chiefs, &c,
and the possession of the bank was among the
most prominent objects of the parties assembled."
Now if there- be any foundation for this story,
coul I not the gentlemen directors furnish some
better evidence than a mere "it is understood?"
Of these "principal chiefs," have we not a right
to suppose !hat either Mr. Ingham or the two
other disaffected members of the Cabinet who re-
tired with him, must have had some knowledge?
and has not each of them discovered at least an in-


$148,000 was thrown under protest: still further
protests were expected, and the actual loss sustain-
ed there will not be less than $112,000. A
confidential officer was despatched to Portsmouth,
who found the affairs of the office in great jeop-
ardy, covered with the wrecks which bad manage-
ment and the most extensive frauds had occasioned.
To retrieve it, it became necessary to select a man
of the first rate character and abilities: such a man
was Mr. Mason."
To correct the "bad management," and "ex-
tensive frauds," there was at no time a change
of direction: the same individuals from that,
to the end of the chapter, continued to con-
trol the bank-the same political coterie at all
times wielded it as their weapon of influence. Mr.
Mason was appointed President--he had been a
director and attorney for the bank before that
time; and he remained associated in the Board
with the same men that controlled it at the time of
" bad management," and the most exten-
sive frauds." Mr. Bidd!e himself says, "Mr.
Mason is only one member of that board,
consisting of the same gentlemen who have had
charge of the branch for many years."
But the management under Mr. Mason, became
from "bad" to "worse." The most profitable and
safe business of the bank had been its country loans
made: in sums of from $500 to $2000 each, under
an agreement that the interest and ten per cent. of
the principal should be checked in every four
months. As the bank had lost in its large loans,
to speculators in factory and other stocks, Mr.
Mason took it into his head that the small debtors
were less safe than the large ones; and violating
the plight'-d faith of the bank, by a circular letter,
called on all to renew their notes every two months,
and at each renewal, to pay twenty per cent. of
the principal. This course, rigid'y pursued,
created a panic at once; and Mr. Mason still fur-
ther contributed to the distress, by taking a large
sum from the circulation, and loaning it in Boston
to his own particular friends and connexions.
Within the town of Portsmouth, the excite-
ment against Mr. Mason became almost universal
among the business men. It was charged on him,that
he arbitrarily changed (by shortenir.g) the periods
of payments of paper amounting to several hun-
dred thousand dollars, reducing the time f)r re-
newals from one hundred and twenty to sixty
days, and increasing each call from ten to twenty
per cent.; that the best paper in the State was re-
fused discount; that he made a run upon one of
the local banks, with a view to stop it; and refused
drafts at sight on a Boston bank, and denied the
P ortsmonth bank time even to send (a six hour's
ride) to Boston, for its money there in deposit;
that the papers,under which the revolutionary pen
sioners had usually drawn, were rejected upon ca-
pricious and technical objections. In conse-quence
of these reasonF, and mainly for the reason that he
threw into jail a citizen, (one of his own political
partly ) by virtue of a process which,as a lawyer, he
issued against him, because he failed to comply
with the requisition which, as President,he exacted
in violation of the terms on which loans were
made, the public indignation against Mr. Mason
became so strong, that his image was hung, and
burnt in effigy in front of his own dwelling.
Mr. Mason had been placed in the office of Pre-
sident and attorney of the bank under a compen-
sation raised from $800 to $2000 per annum. Mr.
Biddle, in his letter to Mr. Ingham, speaking of
Mr. Mason says:--"'Of his entire competency, espe-
cially in detecting the complicated frauds, and
managing the numerous law suits which seemed
inevitable, there could be no doubt." Since
he has been in office, he has been exceedingly use-
ful-has saved the bank from great losses-has
secured the bad debts; nor until Mr. Woodbury's
letter, was I informed of any complaint against
him."
If the bank hed intended to make severe exac-
tions of the people, Mr. Mason was the man of all
others to do their business; but he was not the
man to manage an office of discount and deposit,
either for the benefit of the bank' or to the satis-
faction of men of business; and the result proves
the truth of my proportion. A tabular state-
ment, furnished by the bank, presents the follow-
ing as the profits on the business of the Ports-
mouth branch batik:
In 1828, .25,903 80
1829, 9,697 04
1830, 5,164 16
The truth is, Mr. Mason's severe treatment, and
violation of the plighted faith of the bank, at once
drove fi-om it its most profitable customers, so
that in two years the profits of that branch were
reduced to less than one-fifth the ordinary amount.
These were the causes which induced fifty-eight
respectable individuals and firms, comprising
most of the active business-mien in Pl'ortsmouthl, to
petition the President atd Directors of the mother
bank for a change of the President of the branch
at the end of his term. Of thess fifty-eight houses,
thirty-eight at least were men of the same politi-
cal party as Mr. Mason. The most of them re-
main of that pa ty; and as a proof that the main
rieason for petitioning for a substitution was not
political, I may state the fact, that twenty-four of
tnese names appear on the only petition for a res-
tora'ion of thle deposits to the Bank of the Uni-
ted States, which was presented from New Hamp-


sh:re during the season of panic and distress of
the session of Congress two years ago.
Scarcely any worse condition of the bank coull
be conceived than that represented by Mr. Biddle
himself. He says:-" A confidential officer had
been despatched to Portsmouth, who found the
affairs of the office in great jeopardy, covered
with the wrecks which bad management and the
most extensive frauds had occasioned." Further
on, he admits that no change had been made for
the better, for lie says: Mr. Mason is only one
member of that Board, consisting of the same gen-
tlemen who have had charge of the branch for
many years."
It was against such a state of things as this, that
respectful representations were made by citizens
of all parties in Portsmouth, (and a major part of
those citizens, men who had never supported the
administration of Andrew Jackson, a.sd men who
did not support him so late as the winter of 1834,
in the act of the removal of the depositss) in favor
of a change of' the President, and direction of the
branch at Portsmouth. And it was at the especial
instance of those c tizens, of all parties, that
about sixty members of the Legislature of New
Hampshi: e subscribed their names to another peti-
tion, recommending a change of the direction, and
naming ten persons, a majority of whom was not,
at that time, friends of the administration, as
suitable for directors to that branch. Neither did
Mr. Woodbury or Mr. Hill move in this business
of their own accord, but at the especial request of
the same citizens of Portsmouth, a major part of
whom were then, and since have continued to be,
of the opposition to this administration.
Mr. Woodbury, in a confidential letter to Mr.
Ingham, requests him to lend "any aid for the
relief of the complainers that he can with pro-
priety furnish." lie says "our commercial men
are almost unanimous in their complaints, and the
people in the interior, who were wont to be ac-
commodated formerly at the branch, jo'n with
them in a desire for the removal of the present
President "In making these general repre-
sentations, I am repeating what arc in the mouths
of almost every citizen, of whatever political de.
nomination, and am inviting-, at the request of
many, your influence at the mother Bank, in pro


political aid through the operations of the bank,"
the humble part I acted in' forwarding the wishes
of the citizens of Portsmouth, without distinction
of party, is misrepresented, by quoting from my
letter detached sentences going to show that my
application had a bearing exclusively political.
Then holding a subordinate station in one of the
accounting departments of the Treasury, I was
absent a few weeks in New Hampshire. While
at my place of residence, which is the seat of
goveramant, a messenger, who had arrived the
day before from Portsmouth, presented the peti-
tion, subscribed by'fifty-eight individual firms of
Portsmouth, addressed to the Directors of the
Bank of the United States, remonstrating against
the reappointment of Mr. Mason as a director of
the branch at Portsmouth, and representing that
"the administration of its concerns during the
past year has created great dissatisfaction in this
quarter of the country, and has been of a charac-
ter, in our opinion, partial, harsh, and no less in-
jurious to the bank itself than to those who are
accustomed to do business with it;" and also a me.
morial, signed by between fifty and sixty members
of the State Legislature, representing that they
"have good reason to believe that the late man-
agement of the Board of Directors of the Bran h
Bank at Portsmouth has been oppressive to the
men of business in the State, and tends to the in-
jury of the institution itself';" that the conduct
of the head of the Board has been destructive to
the business of Portsmouth, and offensive to the
whole community;" and respectfully naming ten
individuals who are recommended as candidates
for directors. This petition and memorial he re-
quested me to take on my return to Washington,
and cause them to be laid before the President of
the mother bank. Passing rapidly through Ph;la.
delphia, I had no time to see or consult with the
president and directors, with whom I had no per-
sonal acquaintance. I did, however, consult with
two gentlemen whom I knew, who engaged to
lay the matter before the president of the bank,
whenever I should forward the papers from Wash-
ington. It is my letter to those two gentlemen
that Mr. Biddle not only took and used as a pub-
lic letter, but the contents of which lie has dis-
torted, for the purpose of' forcing an inference
that 1 was interfering in accordance witli the de-
sign of certain "political chiefs at Washington,
to corrupt the vestal purity of the bank, and en-
tice or drive it "into a base political connexion
with the administration."
The following extracts, embracing the whole
scope of the private letter which I addressed to
Messrs. Barker and Pemberton of Philadelphia,
under date of July 17, 1829, decisively prove that
my object, so faras 1 had an object, was entirely
misrepresented in the pamphlet of the Bank Di-
rectors:
"Having recently spent several weeks in New
Hampshire, I am able to say, from my own know-
Iedge,that the sentiment of dlissatisfaction on account
of the recent management of the branch at Ports-
mouth, by Mr. Mason, is general; that his conduct
has been partial and oppressive,and calculated not
less to injure the institution than to disgust and dis-
affect the principal business men, and that no
measure short of his removal will tend to reconcile
the people of New Hampshire to the Bank. *
"The friends of General Jackson in New Hamp-
shire have had but too much reason to complain of
the management of the branch at Portsmouth.
All they now ask is, that this institution in thAt
State may not continue to be an engine of political
oppression by any party. The board has, I be-
lieve, invariably and exclusively consisted of indi-
viduals opposed to the General Government. Of
the ten persons named in the petition for directors,
six are friends of the last, and four are fiends of
the present administration; they are, however,
alike, gentlemen of respectability, who have no
sinister objects to be promoted, understanding well
the responsibilities and wants of business men.
With such a direction, I do not doubt the branch
at Portsmouth will be secure and prosperous, and
satisfy all."
Under these representations the President of
the bank visited Portsmouth, and is understood to
have exhibited every written representation made
to him, confidentially or otherwise, to the eyes or
the ears of the assembled citizens of the town; and
the well known talent of his principal officer, for
small verbal criticism and fbr ridicule, was put in
requisition for an exhibition of the letters and peti-
tions before the people. It was soon discovered
to be no part of Mr. Riddle's object to listen to the
complaints of the people, whether with or without
foundation. He came there for no such purpose.
It was no part of his object to satisfy that commu-
nity by any relaxation of severity, but rather to
conquer the revolting spirit by letting all know
who wanted any indulgence from the bank, how
much and how deeply they wei e under obligations
to his favor. The exclusive political rule of that
bank, from that day to the day it was closed, was
continued. A directorship has in two or three in-
stances been offered to friends of the existing ad-
ministration, and, being obliged to act as mere au-
tomatons, each of them, it is believed, has de-
clined to act.
That this bank, existing there for about eigh-
teen years, without taxation from the State,
and having all thle benefits of the public dleposites
during a greater part of the time, has been of
realinjury to the State, must be admitted. At


first furnishing, by extraordinary capital that
could not be usefully employed, strong tempta-
tions for speculation, this bank terminated the ca-
reer, by prostrating in pecuniary ruin, many men
who might have done a safe business through life
if temptations had not been thrown in their way
to make investments by loans from the bank.
The charge in the'directora' pamphlet, of an ef-
fort at Washington "to render the institution sub-
servient to political purposes," by the order of the
War Department to transfer the pension fund
from the branch bank at Portsmouth to another
bank at Concord, but illy accords with the other
charge which I have at length been considering.
If, in the one case, the a tempt had been to cre-
ate a subserviency on the part of the bank by
changing the political character of the directors,
where would be the consistency in depriving the
bank at the same time of what seems now to have
been a privilege, but which, until that time, had
always been represented to be a burden? The
truth is, that a majority of the Legislature of
New Hampshire, having been always taught by
those concerned in the United States Bank, that
the bank coveted not the privilege of paying the
pensioners, petitioned the Secretary of War to re-
move tihe fund to a more central point, which
would make the average distance of travel for
each and every pensioner from twenty-five to thir-
ty miles less. In several other States, up to that
time, pensions had been paid by agencies other
than those of the Bank of the United States and
its branches. The Secretary of War, doubting
not his right, because it had not before been dis-
puted, diirecte(l the pension agency to be changed.
This direction and change threw new light on the
subject. The Bank of the United States, to mag-
nify its services to the public and make them
more than an equivalent for its exclusive privile-
ges, had represented the holding and disbursing of
the public moneys as extremely onerous. But Mr.
Mason presents an entirely different view of the
subject, which he offers as a reason why the bank
should resist the transfer of agencies. He says:
"The removal contemplated would lessen our
means of circulation, and, as I think, be veryin-


portions of that flourishing territory, the hostile
trump was heard from Charleston to New Orleans;
and the patriotic citizens of South C arolina,Georgia,
Alabama, and Louisiana, not willing to wait the
dull delays of this House for authority, while their
fellow citizens were bleeding under the scalping-
knife of the savages, flew to arms, and hastened to
their protection. The service was national.
It was no more incumbent upon these States
to protect Flor'da, than upon other States;
but without waiting to inquire whether justice
would be done by the nation, they met the
impending danger. They justly regarded the
citizens of that territory as a branch of the Ame-
rican family; and that was enough to kindle in the
bosoms of the chivalro.:s southrons the fire of
American patriotism. The palmetto was lost in
the eagle; and his talons were stretched to grasp
the hand which was lifted against their country-
men; the bill now before us makes provision to
defray the expense. The emergency of the occa.
sion did not admit of hesitancy, and moneys were
advanced in the city of Charleston, and other towns
in that and the other States, to meet the exigency.
The great question now is, shall we authorize the
payment? The honor and future safety of the
country require, that there shall be no hesitancy
nor delay. Even while we are wasting the time by
cold deliberation upon the subject, the threaten-
ing danger upon the Georg:a a';d Alabama fron-
tier may be bursting into a flame, and demanding
similar advances upon the credit of our sense of
national justice. An awful responsibility awaits
him who can make this the unfortunate occasion
for party crimination, for censures against the ad-
ministration, and against the Committees of Ways
and Means and on Military Affairs. To produce
delay by complaints of irregularity, because the
measure has been proposed by a committee, with-
out an order from the [louse, or a reference from
the House of an Executive communication, or by
motions and debates in favor of committal, is in
effect to oppose the bill; or at least to deprive it,
without any countervailing benefit, of much of its
utility.
It is not the method of proceeding on ordinary
occasions, to start objections upon these grounds;
and how can it be reconciled to a proper sense of
the duty which we owe the country in a case
like this, connected as it is with the Florida and
the Creik war? I have been, said Mr. Johnson,
a member of Congress for many years, and for
more than twenty-five years have I been honored as
chairman of some important committee; and dur-
ing the whole of that period, the present mode of
proceeding has been in practice; Whatever sub-
ject comes within the general scope of duties for
which a standing committee is appointed, as well
as subjects referred to them by the House, it has
been the uniform custom for the committee to act
upon, and report the result of such action to the
House. This s'ibject has in like manner been de-
liberated upon by the committee, and the result of
that deliberation is presented in the bill before us.
It is simply to refund what has been liberally ad-
vancedl in the hour of danger by those patriotic
States, at a time when the honor and safety of our
common country required the advance for the use
of the nation, before the national coffers could be
unlocked for the purpose. Whether that money
was paid regularly, according to specified forms,
or not; or whether the requisitions in which it was
paid were drawn, verbatim et lileratim, according
to' the usual forms, is to me a matter of no im-
portance. If one of your family is perishing with
st;,rvation,and your friend will purchase food for his
relief, you will not inquire into the form in which
he mide tie payment. It will be sufficient for
you to know that the benefit was received. So in
this case, it is sufficient for me to know that the
money was advanced; that it was expended in
the public service, and that the country re-
ciived its value. Deeds of patriotism like this
merit a public acknowledgment, rather than
a dull, protracted, reluctant compliance with
the imperative demand of justice. We should
faithfully and promptly refund the last cent ad-
vanced in such a case. We should do it, because
it is the dictate ofjustice-because honor requires
it-because the character of this House and of
the whole nation demands it. We should do it,
to show to the world that the impulse of pratriot-
ism is not despised by a Republic; and to inspire
in our citizens a confidence, that voluntary sacri-
fices in the extremity of danger, shall be cheerful-
ly and promptly remunerated.
T'he amendment proposed to the bill is merely
to explain a former law of a similar character. It
proposes to pay for the services of the volunteer
militia who were called into service by the com-
manding General il the first moments of the Semi-
nole war. The sudden rupture of the savages
was like an unanticipated flame breaking out ia
the midst of a city, which requires the immediate
exertions of the firemen to subdue. A little de-
lay would involve the whole town in irrecover-
able ruin. So the ravage; of the Indians, if per-
mitted to pursue the work of devastation till de-
spatches would be sent to the seat of Government,
and an order issued from the Executive for call-
ing out he militia, would have completed the
work ofdestruction through the whole of the
country where it raged. The commanding Gene-
ral, as in duty bound, called for militia aid to check


the rava ges of this desolating war, and the patriotic
citizens volunteered their services. They were
gladly accepted. These are the citizen soldiers,
who have been braving the dangers and enduring
the storm of that sanguinary conflict, whose ser-
vices have been recognized by the Government,
that the amendment proposes to pay. They made
the first sacrifice in their country's defence; met
the danger at the threshold, and voluntarily pour-
ed out their blood upon the altar of their suffering
country. We intended to provide for their pay,
and thought we had done so by a law already pass-
ed; but in the multiplicity of business, there was an
accidental omission in the framing of the law to
meet their case. The amendment proposed is
only to give such an extent to the application of
that law as to embrace the case of these men, and
so carry into effect our declared intention. Upon
this bill and this amendment, subjects as plainly
just, and as clear to the understanding as the
simplest proposition that could be stated, we
are consuming the day, and wasting the precious
time of the House in animadversions that have
no direct bearing upon the subject. Is this the
proper theme for introducing fastidious complaints
and party denunciations against the administration
of the Gavernment? Or are there no questions
that can arise, even upon the common measure of
justice between citizens and their Government,
but what must be converted into party strifes?
Among other complaints, imputations have been
made against those who are conducting the war
in Florida, as if our regular officers, whose busi-
ness and whose duty it is to obey the orders of
any executive, were political partisans. These
censures are, at least, premature. The officers
of the regular army are in command there; men
who, on former occasions, have given incontesti-
ble proof of their valor, their devotion to the
country, and their capacity to conduct military op-
erations. Though at thii distance it would appear
that mere ougLt t., have been done, yet we are not
acquainted wi h all the difficulties which they
may have had to encounter. The character
which they have established ought to be regarded
as a pledge for their good conduct in the present
trial, and should at least shield them from censure
till all the facts are known; and if it shall then ap.









War, rie ommnendling the measure, and that the
subject has not been specially referred to the com-
mittee by the House. It appears to be a very re-
cent thing with some gentlemen, to have tranisfer-
red all confidence from themselves, to the Secre-
tary of War, so as to be incapable of acting upon
the most simple proposition, without his recom-
mendation. I would remind them that the pro-
posed amendment is founded on official informa-
tion from the War Department, that the men who
claim the pay have faithfully served their country
as represented; and that no provision is made, by
which they can receive their pay. Now, sir,
where is the independence of the members of this
body, if they cannot act upon their own responsi-
bility in matters of plain justice When all the
facts are before us, must we fear to act without
the direction of an Executive officer to govern us
in legislation, and bear the responsibility of our
measures? Our constitutional duty is to legislate;
and that of an Executive officer, to execute the
law. When all the facts are made know to us,
we must act upon our own responsibility; and,
right or wrong, we must bear that responsibility,
whether recommended or not. In the case now
before us, there is no imposition, no deception.
It is a plain proposition, founded on plain matters
of fact; and the House must adopt or reject it.
We must, in the case, do justice, or withhold the
demands of justice; and every nrember will act
upon his own responsibility.
It is wise, on ordinary occasion%, to refer pro-
positions to committees, that the information out
of which they grow, and their minute details, may
be more thoroughly investigated; but the deci-
sions of committees are always subject to the
House, and it is the right of any member to pro-
pose amendmEnts to measures reported to the
House by committees. The practice has ever
p evailed; and to be deprived of this right, would
be to fetter legislation with a clog, which it could
never bear.
Independence in legislation by the representa-
tives of the sovereign people, is of the first im-
portance to the preservation of our liberties. It is
in this House that their voice is more immediately
heard, than in any other branch of our Govern-
ment. Its value cannot be over estimated, nor its
dignity too carefully preserved. The most sacred
regard to justice should characterize all its meas-
ures. It is a convention of the nation itself; and
upon the purity, the intelligence, and the inde-
pendence of this House, more than upon any other
department of Government, the liberties of this na-
tion, the last hope of man, essentially depend.
It is always with reluctance that 1 trespass upon
the time of the House; but in defence of the Mili-
tary Committee, from whom the measure emana-
ted, I have been compelled to submit these re-
marks.


TWENTY-FOURTH CONGRESS,
FIRST SESSION.

IN SENATE.
WEDNESDAY, June 1, 1836.
The following messages, in writing, were received from the
President ol the United States by Mr. DONELSON, his Secre-
tary:
WVASHINGTON, June 1, 1836.
To the Senate:
I transmit herewith to the Senate a communication which
has been receive from Mr. B. F. CUaRRY, in answer to a call
made upon him by the President, through the War Depart-
ment, in consequence of the serious charges which were pre-
ferred against him by one of the honorable members of the
Senate. It seems to he due to justice that the Senate should
be furnished, agreeably to the request of Mr. Curry, with the
explanations contained in this. communication, particularly as
they are deemed so far satisfactory as would render his dis-
missal from the public service, or even his censure, undeserv-
ed and improper. ANDREW JACKSON.
WASHINGTON, May 31, 1836.
To the Senate:
I transmit herewith the response of Samuel Gwin, Esq. to
the charges affecting his official conduct and character, which
were set forth in the evidence taken under the authority of
the Senate; by the C-mmittee on Public Lands, and which was
referred to the President by the resolution of the Senate bear-
ing date the 3d of March, 135N. This resolution and the evi-
dence it refers to, were officially communicated to Mr. Gwin
by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the response of Mr.
Gwin has been received through the same official charnel.
ANDREW JACKSON.
The messages having been read-
Mr. BENTON observed, lhat with respect to the paper last
referred to, the answer of Mr. Gwin to the charges made
against him on that floor, he should, as an act ofjustice to that
gentleman, move that it be printed. The Senate directed in-
vestigations to be made which involved his official character
and conduct, and which lie thought, from the nature of the in-
structions under which they were carried on, were entirely ex
parte. The instructions t6 the Commissioners who were to
take the depositions, were partly to this effect: -
[Here Mr. Benton read from the document as follows:]
It is not expected that you are to give notice to any one of
the time and place ,f taking depositions; nor will any one be
permitted, either as principal or counsel, to interfere with you
in the performance of your duty; but you may at your option
furnish to any officer who resides at a convenient distance,
copies of any depositions in which he may be implicated.
This, however, is left to your own discretion"
The instructions went on to say that if the Commissioner
deemed it proper to have counsel, the fees paid for such pur-
pose would be allowed him.
Mr. WALL inquired who these instructions were signed by?
Mr. BENTON answered that they were signed by George
Poindexter, Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands. He
apprehended that these proceedings were a novelty in the his-
tory of this country or in that of Great Britain, and he trusted
that they never would occur agdn. Mr. Gwin having become
acquainted with the manner in which these investigations had
been carried on-depositions to be taken in the ark without
giving him an opportunity of being heard in his defence-coun-
sel to be feed against him, &c., had collected a mass oftesti
mony for the purpose of defending himself, and rebutting the
charges made against him; and all that was now asked, was
that this defence might be printed, andlsent abroad in the
same manner as the accusations against lm had been.
Mr. WALL said he would be glad to know if these instruc-


tions were the act ofa committee of the Senate, or of the man
whose name was signed to them. They seemed to him to be
at war with every thing like justice.
Mr. BENTON, in answer, read the resolution of the Senate
under which the Committee on Public Lands were directed to
make examinations in relation to alleged frauds with respect
to the public lands, and the resolution authorizing the chair-
man of the committee to continue the examinations in the re-
cess of the Senate. It seemed therefore that the instructions
emanated from the Land Committee, and were sent by their
chairman, George Poindexter.
Mr. CALHOUN said that hlie knew nothing at all relative
to the charges made against Mr. Gwin; but it appeared to him
that the regular course would be to refer the whole subject
to the Committee on Public Lands. If Mr. Gwin had satisfac-
torily refuted the charges made against him, or had not suc-
ceeded in doing so, the fact would appear by the report of
the committee. The best way of doing justice to all parties
would be to subject thle whole matter to the investigation of a
committee.
Mr. EWING of Ohio hoped that the reference to the Comn-
mittee on the Public Lands would not be made. The charges
against Mr. Gwin had been niade two years ago. lie (Mr. E.)
was not a member of thie Committee on the Public Lands at
that time, and there were very few of that committee who
were now in the Senate. If the reference proposed were not
perfectly idle, the eflbct would be to renew the investigation
into the charges against Mr. Gwin, together with his defence.
Mr. BENTON was also opposed to the relfrence. Hle did
not want to see any committee of that body sit as inquisitors on
a citizen of the United States. It seemed to be carrying the
business of extra judicial impeachments beyond anything yet
sanctioned by the people of this country, or warranted by tlhe
constitution. They had seen enough of these inquisitorial pro-
ceedings in that body. The whole thing was wrong from its.
inception; it began wrong, it went on wrong, and it ended
wrong. The Senate had geot itself into a false position, and
could not get forwards or backwards without another false
step. The most becoming thing they could now do, was to
drop the whole affair, an[ print the papers, in order to allow
the defence to take thec same direction that had been given to
the accusation. It would sound strange to the ears of the
people of the United States, that the Senate of eighteen hun-
dred and thirty four, which set itself up to rectify all the
abuses in the country, should issue a commission to investi-
gate the character and conduct of an individual, and expressly
foIbrbidthe commissioner to give any information to the accused
of the time and place of taking dcpositio.s against him, or to
permit any person to interfelre with the performance of his
duty, though he might, at hiis option, give copies of such depo-
sitions to any officer implicated, who might beside within a
convenient distance. Sir, said Mr. B., the whole thing is
wrong from beginning to end, and they had better have done
with it at once. All that was asked by Mlr. Gwin was, that as
these charges against himi had been printed, and made a part
of the public documents, his, answer should also be printed
and put upon the record.
Mr. EWING ol'f Ohio wa.' notdisposed to answer in behalf of
the gentleman who was chairman of the Committee on Public
Lands at the time these investigations were ordered. If that
gentleman was here lie could answer for himself. With re-
spect to frauds on the public lands, it was right that each branch
of Congress should enter into investigations to ascertain them,
-i i.., i,.. .... r,- i-tn v. it was rioht th t theyv shonutl not


fence placed by the side of the accusation. Let the testimony
in favor of Mr. Gwm circulate as widely as did that against
him, and then only can any thing like justice be done him.
As to any action by the committee, he agreed with the Senator
from Ohio, (Mr. Ewing) that it was out of the question, and
therefore a reference was not necessary.
Mr. PORTER was one of those who voted for these resolu-
tions, and the responsibility that he took, on that occasion, he
was perfectly willing to justify. He averred, that the Senate
formed no incorrect conclusions on that occasion, and that its
conduct was not oppressive and unjust, as alleged. It qould
have taken no other course than the one it did, without de-
leating the object in view. Many believed that the greatest
frauds were carried on in the sales of the public lands, and
an inquiry was, therefore, absolutely necessary. But what
was the nature of the inquiry? It was not into the conduct
of any particular officer of the Government, but the inquiry
was directed to be general as to all the land office-. If repre-
sentations were made now that frauds were commit-
ted in any one branch of the Government, would the
Senator from Alabama refuse to institute an inquiry
because a particular officer of the Government might be im-
plicated, and the Senate be called on to impeach him? Was it
not common in the governments of all other countries as well as
this to institute inquiries into the conduct of their officers, to
ascertain whether frauds had been committed; and was it ever
heard ofbefore that such investigations should not go on be-
cause frauds were alleged against individuals? It was said
that the resolution was extraordinary, because no opportunity
was allowed the individuals who might be implicated to defend
themselves by a cross-examination of the witnesses. But was
there a charge agair;st any individual? The inquiry was to be
a general one, and would it therefore be right to give notice to
every individual, who might be supposed to be implicated, to
come forward to disprove what might be alleged against him?
It would be very extraordinary indeed if it should have been
thought necessary to all who might by possibility be involved
in the inquiry. Mr. P. here read the resolutions and instruc-
tions of the committee, commenting on them at some length,
and( justifying them as proper and necessary for the occasion.
The motion of the Senator from New York to amend, that had
been referred to by the Senator from Alabama, was resisted op
the ground that the resolution was a mere matter of inquiry,
no person believing that any judgment was to follow it; that it
was purely intended as a foundation for legislative proceedings.
It was to proceed like a grand jury; and he recollected that it
was averred at the time that this investigation would tend to the
injury of no person whatever, because no judicial proceedings
would be gone into without giving time to any person implica-
ted to offer evidence in his defence. If any person was to 6e
tried, it was on all hands determined to give him an opportunity
to conime forward and exculpate himself before any further ac-
tion would be had. Mr. P. thought, therefore, that there was
no grounds for finding fault with the proceedings of the Senate
The investigation was a general one, and while it was going on,
it would have defeated its objects to give notice relative to the
depositions that were to be taken. Mr. P. had no objection to
placing these papers on the files of the Senate. If the individual
had any evidence, he had rather receive it than his allegations;
but he thought the whole matter ought to be referred te the ex-
amination of the committee.
Mr. CALHOUN very much regretted that the chairman of
the Committee on Public Lands should object to the reference
of this paper. His object was that full juice should be done
to Mr. Gwin, to Mr. Poindexter, and to the Senate. He would
not agree that the Senate had not the right to inquire into the
conduct of public officers when serious frauds had been charg-
ed against them, as he had heard alleged on that floor. Serious
frauds had been alleged against Mr. Gwin, and among other
charges was that he had amassed a large fortune in a ve-
ry short time. This, alone, was very suspicious, and an
investigation was ordered. The session was a short one,
and the committee reported they could not get through with
he examination before its close, the chairman proposing by a
resolution, that he should be authorized to go on with the ex-
aminations in the recess. This was agreedto. He did not now
purpose to inquire whether these examinations were conducted
properly or not. One thing was now assumed here, and that
was the innocence of Mr. Gwin, and the guilt of Mr. Poindex-
ter. Now something was due to the absent, and an investiga-
tion by a committee was necessary before coming to the conclu-
sion that Mr. Poindexter was culpable. Now as these papers
had taken an accusatory course against Mr. Poinlexter, he
would ask, was that gentleman called on for his evidence? Was
he notified that he was to take Mr. Gwin's place, and that de-
positions were to be taken to implicate him? Was this an ex
parte examination? If it was so improper on the part of the
Senate to clothe Mr. Peindexter with these extraordinary pow-
ers, he would ask, were they prepared to sanction the same
thing done by the Executive, who had given to Mr. Gwin or
somebody else, the power to examine into the conduct of Mr.
Poindexter?
Now they were called on to vote in the dark for the printing
of these papers, of which they knew nothing, for the purpose
of implicating Mr. Poindexter and the Senatelitself. He took it
for granted, that the inquiry into alleged frauds, relative to the
public lands, was a proper one; and if Mr. Poindexter abused
the power with which he was entrusted, it was not the fault of
the Senate; and the fact whether this was so or not, could be
best ascertained by the examination of a committee. They had
been told that there was nothing for the action of a committee.
Now hlie thought otherwise. The character of an officer of the
Government had been implicated-he had been charged with
an abuse of office, and his defence was before them. Now it
Mr. Gwin was innocent, lie ought to be called so. When he
voted for thie inquiry, his object was to do justice to Mr.
Gwin and to the public, an.l in voting now for tile re-
ference, he had the same object in view. Justice
both towards Mr. Gwin, and one who had formerly been a
member of that body required the reference. If they condemned
Mr. Poindexter, it oughTt to be with their eyes open. They all
knew what an arduous task a Senator in high party times had to
perform, anti how liable the strict execution of his duty was to
subject him to censure. No member of that body would be
willing that his conduct should be censured after he left here
without an exam mination; and he called upon gentlemen by what
was due to themselves, as well as to justice, to vote for the re-
ference.
Mr. SHEPLEY said, if the Senator from Louisiana (Mr.
Porter) understands that the investigations of the Conimittec
upon the Pul):ic Lands were extended only to inquiries ofa gen-
eral character into alleged frauds in the sales of thIe public land
that they were designed for the legislative purposes only, and
that they did not relate to individual character, as his remarks
would lead us to suppose, he is greatly in error.
The language of the resolution of the Senate giving the
chairman of thie committee tthe power to make an ex part in-
quiry during the recess of Congress is, in some respects, ex-
pressed in general terms. But the resolution directs the chair-
man to proceed in the investigation which had been prosecute
ed during the session, and thus refers to the original resolutions
by virtue of which the investigation had been commenced.
I find those resolutions in the Journal, and to enable thie Se-
nate to come to a correct understanding of the character o f the
investigation, I will read an extract frem one or two of them.
In the third resolution is found this language:
"That the Committee be instructed to inquire whether the
Registers of the Land Offices and the Receivers of Public Mo-
neys at any of the land offices of the United States. or either
of thnt, have, in, violaiisn of law anrd of their official ',tr' c
manded Cr accepted a tonu, or premium from any purchase,
or purchasers of the public lands at public or private sale fot
the benefit of such officer or officers," &c.
And the following language is found in the fourth resolu.
tion:
"And whether any Register or Receiver has, at any time, ta-
ken in payment the promissory note of any purchaser or pur-
chasers, bearing an interest, to accrue to the benefit of such Re-
gister or Receiver."
Sir, it is very difficult for me to understand how such lan-
guage can be said not to authorize investigations into the con
duct and characters of individual men. If the object was only
to enlighten us in regard to our legislative duties, it. would not
seem to be necessary to inquire whether a Register or Receiver
had violated the law and his official duties.


What were the facts, it might be proper to inquire, to enable
us to legislate; but whether the man had been guilty of a viola
tion of law and of official duty, was an inquiry directly involve
ing individual character; and it does not seem to be necessary
for mere purposes of legislation.
It was well understood, at the time the resolutions passed, to
involve individual character; and as the Senator from Ssutt
Carolina (Mr. Calhoun) has remarked, Mr. Gwin was openly
charged by the chairman of the Committee on Public Land,
with a gro.s violation of official duty.
Such was the language of thie resolutions, and such were the
circumstances in which it was proposed to enter upon thein-
vestigation.
I then thought, as I now think, that it was due to the officer
implicated; due to the character of the Senate itself; and due
to truth and justice, that the investigation should not proceed'
in secret, so that the accused could know nothing of tire at-
temnpt to destroy h-is character; could have no opportunity
even to know the persons who would appear against him, much
less to cross-examine them, or to introduce any explanatory oi
rebutting testimony.
Feeling that the first principles of justice were to be violated
in such a proceeding, I offered an amendment to the fifiht reso-
lution. It is thus stated on the Journal:
On motion of Mr. Shepley, to amend the fifth by strik-
ing out all after the word committee, and inserting, have
power to cause testimony to be taken on oath, where any ntis-
conduct is supposed to have taken place touching the matters
aturesaid; and in case any person is implicated, such person to
be notified, and be entitled to introduce testimony in exculpa-
tion of himself; and to cross-examine all witnesses introduced
against him.'
This proposed amendment was rejected upon a division, by
yeas and nays, a party vote.
And thus ilid thie Senate deliberately enter upon an investiga
tion directly impeaching individual character, and at the same
time refuse to the individual all opportunity of being heard.
A proceeding thus commenced in wrong, could be expected
to end only as it has done-in wrong.
Commencing thus before a committee of time Senate, the
investigation was continued during the recess of Congress by
the resolution before referred to, when another attempt was
made by the then minority to obtain for the persons implicated,
an opportunity to be heard, and without success. It is now
after two years have elapsed, that testimony is offered, said to
disprove the charges made against the officer; and we now are
asked to refuse to print this testimony, that it may be placed
upon our records with that which was thus secretly obtained
and placed on record against him. I trust that we may no
longer continue to act a part so unjust. This testimony should
be printed with our documents, that an opportunity may be
afforded to judge of the truth of the whole matter.
Mr. MANGUM said he voted for the resolutions, and against
thie amendments; and in doing so, he thought that he did what
was not only proper, but absolutely necessary, under the cir-
cumstances then presented to him. It must be remembered.
that in 1834, the entire southern country was rife with reports
of frauds that had been committed with respect to the sales of
the public lands in the southwest. Ile recollected, that when
he first caine into the Senate, he brought with hini such impres-
sions. There was a general impression, that such frands had
been practised, and under such circumstances, the investigation
was ordered. What then did this investigation propose? It


against this officer of the Government, should be published.
What was the next step? Was it to take measures for ain im-
peachment? Why did they not do this? It was the next regular
step. There was nothing that they coulddo, following from the
documents before then, but impeach; and li now declared Ps a
Senator, that upon such testimony, with nothing to couiiiterdci
it, he should, on an impeachment, vote thie officer guilty, and eject
him from office. Why did they not proceed?I They hadl impeach-
able matter enough on hand. Whiy did they stop? It was be-
cause they found that they could go nofarther, without imnplica-
ting themselves. WVhat did they do? Did they frame a law? No.
Did they frame an ex parle impeachment like the one they dlid
against the President of the United States? No. Imprimnis, they
ordered 5,000 copies to be printed, and in the next place referred
the whole affair to the President, in oiler that he might dismiss
the accused from office. Why did they send this impeachable
matter to the President? What did the President do? He sent a
copy of the report to every officer implicated. This, he pre-
sumed, was the President's course, for it was the just one. One
of these implicated officers had returned an answer to the charges
against him, and this answer was now sent to the Senate. What
strange condition the Senate was placed in. They commenced
an impeachment, collected an abundance of impeachable mat-
ter, and then sent it to the President, who sends a copy of it to
the officer impeached, who was not allowed a hearing while his
trial was going on; and the answer of that officer was now sent
back to them. Since the movement now was to refer these
criminal charges that had been made two years ago, and then
shuffled off, and which were now brought home to them, he had
no objection to that course, because he wished to see how the
committee would act on them-to see whether they would bring
in a resolution to send the papers to the IHouse of Representa-
tives, for the purpose of having an impeachment framed. Sir,
said Mr. B., the Senate has got itself into a false position. It is in
the same position it was in when it shoved off the affair upon the
President. It could not go on with the business. Could they try
the impeachment? He apprehended riot. No member, he
thought, would lay a resolution on the table, declaring that
Samuel Gwin was guilty, and ought to be impeached.
The debate on thie expunging resolution had circulated too
widely for gentlemen to venture on that. The gentleman
from Ohio had said that he would never refrain from inquiring
into frauds for the purpose of applying the proper remedy.
Why then did not the gentleman go on? Here was impeacha-
ble matter swoin to, and let the gentlemnan proceed with it.
lie would tell the gentleman that "thie Senate would be ruined
ifit went on much farther with these extra judicial proceed-
ings. The matter had gone far enough already; and if they
went farther without the House of Representatives, they would
violate the constitution.
Mr. EWING of Ohio replied to Mr. Benton at length, and
contended that the resolutions of the Senate, and the manner of
conducting the inquiry, were proper-necessary to attain the
objectin view. Ile dmfnotbelieveithat information couldhave
been obtained if notice had been given of the time and place of
taking the depositions; and instance the investigations that
were made by the Post Office Commitee, calling upon the
chairman to inform the Senate how these were conducted, and
whether, in his opinion, correct information could have been
obtained it they had notified the parties implicated, of the
time and place of taking depositions,
Mr. GRUNDY being thus called on, replied that vwhea the
Post Office Committee were about to enter on their examina-
tions, they came to the determination unanimously, that their
best course would be to take depositions without giving the par
ties implicated notice ofthe time and place of so doing. This
was done in every case; but when the testimony in each case
was concluded, he, as the chairman of the committee, notified
each individual implicated, of the matter brought against him,
and called upon him to defend himself.
Hie did inot believe that correct information, with regard to
matters before the Post Office Committee, could have been ob.
rained by any other modr of inquiry.
Mr. SOUTHARD proceeded to take a view of the reasons
which induced the Senate to institute the inquiries referred to.
Early in the session of 1834, complaints in a great variety of
forms were ma,4e in regard to frauds in relation to the lands
ceded by the Choctaws, and in regard to the conduct ofthe com-
missioners under that cession. Subsequent charges were made
as to extensive frauds that had been committed, not only in
Mississippi but in other States; it was not against one man,
but against the general administration ofthe land officers.
The question then before the Senate was, Will it do any thiug
*o arrest these firauds and make the necessary inquiries for tihe
purpose ofascertaining how they can be arrested? This was
his inquiry. He had no reference to Samuuel Gwin, or to any
other single individual. His only object was to ascertain
whether such frauds had been committed, and how they could
be prevented by the legislation of Congress. The votes he
gave were governed by these considerations, and no other. If
any thing improper had been done in conducting the inqui-y,
it did not prove that it ought not to have been instituted. Eve-
ry step in that inquiry was directed by its legislative action,
and every other step was accidental. Mr. S. read the diffe-
rent proceedings on the subject from the Journals of 1834.
The inquiries were general, in order to ascertain what legisla-
tion was necessary, and the Senate would find, by reference to
the Journals, that an act was reported, a fact omitted in the
discussion of this morning. Suppose, in the course of the inves-
tigation,they should find that an officer had received a bonus for
the sale of a tract of land; would it not be proper for them to
introduce a resolution providing for the introduction of a law
to prevent such acts for the future? not to go back to punish
the officer who was guilty, for that would be too late, but for
the purpose of framing a law that would guard against such
frauds in future. The senate would find, on looking at the
whole proceedings, that legislative and not judicial action was
contemplated from beginning to end.
By a resolution introduced 1y Mr. Poindexter, the inquiry
was pursued through the Treasury and War Depara.nents, antl
the answers from these Departments did not come in until the
13th of June. On the 22d. of June, Mr. Poindexter offered a
resolution authorizing the chairman to proceed in the investi-
gations already commenced. Now, what then was the duty ol
the Senate? The Secretaries of War and Treasury had made
'heir communications, and the committee hadt reported that
they could not conclude their investigations that session. The
inquiry was, should they stop there? Every body believed
that stupendous frauds haid been committed; it was too late to
dleny the fact now; and he for one !i,.., i-l! that these in-
vestigations should proceed. And as it woull have been impos-
sible lbr the committee to go to the different States where these
examinations were to bIe n.ade, Mississippi, Alabama, Ohio,
Michigani, &c. he had no (hfliculty in coming to the conclu-
-ion, that it would be proper to trust the him-ther prosecution
of the business to their chairman. They could have contend
thIe inquiry in no other mode. Ile was not here the apolo-
gist of the chairman, but lie thought that justice should be done
to him, as well as to others. VWell then, it was proper to nmake
these investigations by depositions. If it was not so, it was
wrong for the Post Office Committee to do so. The testimony
coult not be justly taken in another way. If there had been
error in the chairman of time committee, the Senate was not
:o answer for it. If blood had been shed, in consequence of
the manner of conducting these inquires, the Seniate was not
chargeable; they did not direct that tlhe inquiries should be
made in an improper manner. They only directed that the
inquires should be made by depositions.
He would not defend the instiructiunsxi the-.caimi,.dioa>sj
but he would say than if instrnctions ]lad been givfet to il-mu,
>o give noiices to thi- arties iF10icated, and to tuike their cot. -
;er testimony, such proceeding would constitute tlhe commis-
sioners into a criminal court for thie trial of individuals, and
'I, make the inquiry a criminal process, instead of a fuimdatin
ior legislative proceedings. These were the views on whidih
lie voted. Thie result was, tltat at tie succeeding session, time
chairman, Mr. Poindexter, made a report, acconmpanied by a
-esolution, that the charges be referred to the President of the
United States. Where mhen was the voice tit is now raised
against the judicial proceedings of the Senate? No man pre-
tended to say then timat mIne Senate had placed itself in a false
position. Mr. S. proceeded at length to defend the propriety of
this course on thie part of the Senate. It was said that the
whole affair was ended by printing the report, and its re-
terence to time President; but this was a very incorrect view of


the subject; the reference to tie Presidenut was merely inici-
dental. But on the everyday Ime chairman reported a bill, with
the very view of fulfilling the purnpo:se for which this inquiry
was made, being a bill ofsix pages, to provide against.the coinm-
mission of these frauds. Was it true, then, thIat the inquiry
was fruitless, and that it ended in reference of this subject to
the President? No, the result of that investigation would be
found in the bill that had been reported, and would be found in
the labors of thie Committee on Public L.ands, who had made
use of this very information, and would very soon place before
them a bill which would show how useful that inquiry had
been. Where, then, was the evidence that the Senate had
placed itself in a false position?
Mr. CALHOUN agreed partly with his friend from North
Carolina, but was clearly of opinion that thie printing ought to
be after the report of thie committee.
Not a single Senator had read the whole of thi;i evidence; not
a Senator knew whether it exculpated the officer implicated, or
whicthler it implicated thie conduct of tihe chairman: and in the
.lark they wereasked to print the testimony. Now, lie thought
dtha to do justice to all partics, to Mr. Gwvinn himself, as well
as others, the proper course was to refer it to a committee. If
the object in sending thit' document here was to implicate a for-
mer member of that body, who had, in the discharge of ardu-
ous duties, been implicated, every principle of honor and jus
twice required that they should be referred and examined before
-ending them abroad to the world. As to the dangerous doc-
trine, that this body is not to look into malfeasances in office,
it had been avowed here for the first time. Never had it been
avowed in the British Parliament,ffrom which we took our prac-
tice, nor had it been advanced in any of the State Legislatures.
Sunch a doctrine would surrender entirely the Legislative pow-
er of thIe Senite.
Mr. CALHOIUN continued his remarks to some considerable
length; after which,
Mr. WIHITEI and Mr. WAILKER expressed themselves
briefly in favor of printing.
The debate was further continued by Messrs. PRENTISS,
MIANGUM, PRESTON, PORTER, WALL, NILES and
BROWN; when,
On motion by Mr. PORTER to lay the whole subject on the
table, it was decided in the negative, by the following vote-

On motion of Mr. BLACK,
The Senate then adjourned.

signed by David Mellville, of Newport, Rhode Island, com-
plaining that he had been unceremoniously reformed out of
office by the Collector of that port, and praying that a law
may be passed restraining Executive patronage. Mr P.
said a similar memorial had been presented in the other

that he supposed this would be the appropriate committee
here. Leave was granted to present the memorial, and it was
referred to the Committee on Commerce.]
[Mr. PINCKNEY presented the memorial of Christopher

On motion of Mr. CONNOR, tt Ilouse then proceeded to
the orders of the day.
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The "bill to change the organization of the Post Office De-
dartment, and to provide more effectually for the settlement of
the accounts thereof," was take up, the question being on its
final passage.
Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana moved to recommit the bill to
the Committee of the Whole on thestate of the Union, with in-
structions to strike out the sections, being 43 and 44, depriving
the postmasters of the privilege or perquisites of the boxes or
pigeon holes.
Mr. CONNOR suggested that it weuld be better to let the bill
pass and go to the Senate, where the clauses could either be
stricken out, or some other provision made, to provide a suita-
ble compensation therefore, or some modification ofethe salaries
of postmasters of large cities.
After some remarks from Messrs. JOHNSON of Louisiana,
CAMBRELENG, LAWRENCE, REED, MANN of New York,
and BELL:
Mr. JOHNSON modified his motion by instructing the com-
mittee, either to strike out the provisions referred to, or to pro-
vide for the increase of the salaries of the Postmasters ofthe ci-
ties and large towns ofthe different States.
The motion was discu sed by Meers. MASON of Virginia,
PEARCE, of Rhode Island, IBRIGGS, EVEREIT, and GREN-
NELL.
Mr. EVERETT called for a division of the question, first
on the motion to recommit, and then on the motion to in-
struct.
Mr. REED moved to amend the motion by striking out all
after the word "instructions,' and insert a provision "that the
operation of the said 43d and 44th sections shall not go into
effect, until the 4th day of March next."
After some further remarks from Messrs. REED, UNDER-
WOOD, WISE, LANE, and JENIFER,
Mr. SPEIGHT demanded the previous question, which was
seconded by the House-ayes 67, noes 57.
The main question was then ordered and put, and the bill
was passed.
The "bill to establish certain post roads, and to alter and
discontinue others, and for other purposes," was then taken up,
i ead a third time, and passed.
INDIAN ANNUITIES, &c.
Mr. CAMBRELENG remarked that the "Fortification bill"
was properly the first in order, but there was another bill, for
"Indian annuities," returned from the Senate with some im-
portarnt amendments, which was much more urgent than any
other, and which he hoped would be taken up.
Mr. EVERETT hoped the bill would be postponed till to-
morrow, inasmuch as it would brin& up a debate, and the ne-
cessary documents had not all come m, in relation to the origin
of the Seminole war.
Mr. CAMBRELENG would merely state that this bill was
sent to the Senate two months ago, and remained there unacted
upon until the War Department wrote and urged the Senate to
act upon it. If, however, a discussion was to arise respecting
the origin of the Seminole war, the sooner it was brought on
thie better. The people of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida,
were sutlering for want of the passage of this bill. He moved,
therefore, that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, which was agreed to; and,.
The House accordingly went into Committee of the Whole,
Mr. SMITH in the chair, and proceeded to the consideration of
the amendments of the Senate to the bill 1t making appropria-
tiens for the current expenses of the Indian department, for In-
dian annuities, and for other similar objects, for the year 1S36."
T'ie following amendments of the Senate were agreed to
without a division:
1st. For the payment ofa clerk in the office of the Superin-
tendent of Indian Affairs for the Territory of Wisconsin,
2d. "For the payment of interest on an annuity on 1C3O to
the Cherokcesby the treaty of the 24th of October, 1804, and
which was not paid till the year 1825, $12,6C9; which sum
shall be paid in the same manner and in the same proportions
to the Cherokees east and west of the Mississippi, that the an-
nuity itself is payable."
uor the Florida Indians shall be paid to anv Indians Wiro have
been engaged in hostilities against the tfaited States, unless
in sutrh change of circumstances as may induce the President
of tIe United States to di- rect 'he same to be paid."
The fourth amendment of the Senate was to increase the
item for locating reservations, and certifying contracts, tn-
der the treaty with the Creeks, of the 24th of March, 1832,"
from 7,oC' to $14,000.
Mr. BELL,, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, moved to
disagree to this amendment, and entered int, a minute expla-
nation in relation thereto.
After some remarks from Messrs. LAWLER, GLASCOCK.
IIAYNES, TOWNS, CAMBRELENG, OWENS, BELL, and
LEWIS,
Mr. LEWIS moved an amendment to the Senate's amend-
ment authorizing the President of the United States to appoint
additional agents for certifying and forinvestigating frauds, if he
shall deem it necessary.
The amendment was discussed by Messrs. BELL. Me


KAY, ASIILEY, GLASCOCK, LEWIS, LYON, IIAWES,
TOWNES, and OWENS.
At the suggestion of Mr. BELL, both amendments were pass-
ed over for thie present, and the committee proceeded to the con-
sideration of the other amendments, some of which were con-
cuirred in.
On motion of Mr BELL, the committee rose and reported
progress.
The SPEAKER having resumed the chair
On motion ofMr. BELL, the bill was made the specialorder
ofthe day from the hour of 12 o'clock to-morrow.
Sundry documents from the War Department, on the sub-
ject, of Indian hostilities were ordered to be printed.
The House then adjourned at a little before 6, P. M.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1836.

APPOINTMENT BY THE PRESIDENT,
By and with the advice and consent of the Senate.
HEBny S. FOOTE, to be Surviyor generall of
Public Lands south of Tennessee.

THE BRIBERY BANK AND THE GOVERN-
MENT STOCK.
It is a most remarkable thing, that while the
opposition in the Senate every day parade before
the public the seven millions, in the stack of the
Bank of the United States, as a pait of the sur-
plus in the Treasury, they so contrive it that not
a dollar of it can reach the Treasury. Judge
White, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Clay, and Mr. Webster,
are ever and anon pointing to the seven millions of
bankstock, as a fund for distribution, while Mr.
Webster, as chairman of the Committee of Fi-
nance, holds back for months, from the action of
the Senate, the bills passed by the House of Re-
presentatives to provide against the notorious con-
version by Biddle of the means of the old bank
to the purposes of the new. The bill repeal-
ing the obligations on the officers of the Go-
vernment under the old charter, to receive the
notes of the Bank of the United States, notwith-
standing it is known that Biddle is reissuing the
notes of the old bank, fer the new pretended
State Bank, has been smothered for many
weeks in the Senate. Even the appointment
of an agent, clothed with powers to look into
the concern which the Government had in the
old bank, cannot be obtained. Bidd!e, by
his proxies, has appointed the managers of both
these banks-has himself, in fact, the management
of both; and he is making over all the property of
the old concern to the new[one, at agreed prices.
The great banking house at Philadelphia has
been sold; and the bribery bank, we believe,
is already in possession. So it will be all over the
Union, with regard to the immense and valuable
real property acquired by the old corporation.
As Biddle said of the circulation, so will it be with
the property of the old bank-it will be "the in-
heritance" of the bribery concern; and the Goyv-
ernment can get no agent and no authority to
bring its partnership with the sharpers now prey-
ing upon its interests, to a close. If the country
inquires how this is, we must refer them to the
chairman of the Committee of Finance, Mr. Web-
ster, who, while he stands retained as a Senator to
take care of the national interests, is retained as
Mr. Biddle's attorney-and on account of one re-
tainer or the other, retains the simplest and most
necessary bills passed on this subject in the other
branch for an inordinate time in his committee, or
in the House, and gives precedence to the most
subordinate subjects.

In another column, we give the grounds as-
signed by the Hon. Waddy Thompson for his re-
fusal to vote on Mr. Pinckney's resolution.
His reasons will not be satisfactory to the pub-
lic. When the resolution was first introduced
he voted for it, but he would not vote for it
again, because "he saw his vote paraded by Mr.
Pinckney as authority in favor of that resolution."
If the resolution was right in itself, and Mr.Thomp-
son could vote for it "because, as far as it went,
he assented to it," was it wrong to vote for
it, because Mr. Pinckney afterwards quoted
Mr. Thompson's vote, to show that he did
assent to it? This is precisely the reason
why the constitution requires that members
shall vote on the yeas and nays; it is that
the. sountiy -maay ]waaw ^w-bo -mad -t ytolt
propositions when they are acting as representa-
tives of the people. And would such a stickler as
Mr. Thompson for strict adherence to the cor-
stitution violate it in that vital part which is
meant to secure the responsibility of the repre-
sentatives, merely because it afforded Mr. Pinck-
ney the opportunity of quoting Mr. Thompson's
vote in favor of a proposition which Mr. Thomp.
son still admits to be true?
But Mr. Thompson further says, that by voting


that Congress had no right to interfere with
slavery in the States, he would have recognized the
jurisdiction of Congress over the subject. This
seems to be a strange interpretation. Congress
declares by a resolution that it has nothing to do
with a certain subject, and Mr. Thompson says
this is taking jurisdiction of it! To ordinary minds,
on the contrary, it is an absolute protest against
taking jurisdiction of it. The resolution denies
such right to exist in Congress; and because it
did deny it, Mr. Adams and eight others voted
against the resolution, when, for the opposite rea-
son, the great body of the House voted for it.
The question was not on the abolition of slarery in
the States. It was whether Congress had ju-
risdiction over the subject-that is, a right to
interfere with it in the States. The resolution
was a flat and plump denial of all authority or
jurisdiction over it in any shape or form. And
yet Mr. Thompson could not vote that Congress
has no jurisdiction u(,ver the subject, because by
such a vote lie would recognize that Congress had
jurisdiction over iti!
I-low is it, when a plea is put in against the
jurisdiction of a court, and the court decides
that is not entitled to jurisdiction-is this tak-
ing jurisdiction?
Duff Green once made some direful charge
against Mr. Van Buren, if we recollect rightly.
It was denied positively, and on authority. The
proof was demanded. But Duff said the denial
was an admission. This is a case in point for Mr.
Thompson.

JUDGE WHITE'S SUN.
Our neighbor Gales, who is a great man to note
the weather and the signs of the times, has said not
a word about the ten days' rain, and total obscura-
tion of the sun, which is the wonder of the day.
He duly noted the partial eclipse of the heavenly
luminary, which occurred, as foretold in the alma-
nac, and did no harm; but the unexpected extinc-
tion of Judge White's luminary-THE SUN-'-
THE LEARNED SUN-which "has hung the
heavens with black" for almost a fortnight, and
set the elements weeping at such a rate as
absolutely to submerge Jackson city under the.
flood of the Potomac, and which" offers as yet
no sign of truce by displaying the white flag,
our contemporary has been in too much con-
sternation to announce. Will he tell us when
Judge White's Sun will shine again? But, if we
can't get that, will he tell us when we shall have
a glimpse of the ordinary blessed" Sun?

We had the pleasure yesterday of seeing some
of Napoleon's spoliations already turned to Ameri-

THE NEWS.

TEXAS.


A letter received from General Gaines at the
War Department, dated 10th of May, confirms
the Texas news. It is brought by Captain
Hitchcock, just from General Gaines's head quar-
ters.
Extract of a letter from Maj. Gen. Gaines to the
Secretary of War, dated
"HIEAD QUARTERS, WESTERN DEPARTMENT,
"Camp Sabine, May 10, 1836.

LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
CAPTAIN HOLLOMAN'S ]DEATH.-The following in-
formation contained in a slip from the office of
the Apalachicola Gazette, dated the 19th inst., con-
tains the latest information relative to the exposed
situation of the brave fellows under Capt. HoLLo.
MAN at the Block House at the Withlilacoochee,
and the death of that ill fated officer.
Colonel Wood arrived on Wednesday last from
Tallahassee. We learn from him, that before he
left Tallahassee, three individuals had arrived there
from Capt. Holloman's command, on the Withla-
coochee. It seems they were ordered to this
Block House on the 5th of April; and chivalric
Scott disbanded his forces without giving them a
thought-and they have subsisted ever since
merely upon corn and water! The Indians have
given them very little respite; pressing upon them
in vast numbers. On one occasion they were at-
tacked on all sides by not legs than one thousand
Indians; Capt. Holloman's men returned their fire,
with tremendous effect; they pressed upon the
Block House in such dense masses, that every
shot of the brave defenders took effect. After
this contest, which terminated so fatally to the In-
dians, they failed to show themselves for several
days. It was during this respite, that Capt. Hol-
loman unw!ertook to strengthen his defences, be-
tween the Block House and the river. But while
enwatied in this duty, he was shot down by the
Indians; the balance of the party secured their
retreat to the house. This fact showed the de-
sieged, that though the Indians had learned the
folly ofendeavoring to shout them through their
defences, yet that they continued to be strictly
observed. After the death of Capt. Holloman,
the command of the company devolved upon
Lieutenant who is determined, at all
hazards, to maintain his position till relieved.
It-was to relUeve these brave fellows, tlat the
late cajl for men froom this county was made by the
Executive of the Territory. Col. Wood received
orders to hasten his company forward with all des-
patch. But on his arrival here, and learniing the
unpleasant intelligence by the different points on
the river above, we understand he has concluded
to postpone his departure, till a despatch can be
forwarded to the Governor, informing, him of our
exposed situation here, and the imprudence of
calling men abroad to fight, when their presence
is absolutely required to guard their own homes.
It is expected that the orders to detail men from
this regiment, to serve on the expedition above
referred to, will be countermanded.
The reflections upon Gen. Scott in the above,
are unjust. He ordered Major- Read to the With-
lacoochie, partly with a view to relieve HOLLo-
nAN and his party. Why that was not done by
him, the public is not yet informed. Moreover,
it is well known, that the army was disbanded be-
cause the time of service of most of the volunteers
had expired, and they were already clamorous
for discharge.

HoxonR TO TU BRAvE.-Gen. Clinch, on land-
ing at St. Mary's, was escorted to his lodgings by
Major Cooper's battalion, addressed the volun-
teers, was responded to by Major C., and the
whole, after a salute from Captain Holland's corps,

electing twelve out of fifteen of their candidates,
by a lrge majority. The (lays of opposition mis-

sented, and as in one of those resolutions a propo.
sition was asserted which had my asset, I felt at
the moment, having no time for reflection, that I
ought to vote for it. I very soon saw my vote
paraded by Mr, Pinckney, as authority in favor of
that resolution, although he knew I was decidedly
opposed to its introduction. I resolved not again
to give such authority, however slight it might be.
I could not vote against the first resolution, be-
cause as far as it went, I assented to it. I could
not vote for it, because my whole course on the k
subject had been in the nature of a plea to the
jurisdiction, which jurisdiction I shall have os
much recognized by voting for one resolution as
for another. Once let the subject be submitted
to the jurisdiction of Congress, and it is manifc st
that one Congress may resolve djctly the re-
verse of a preceding Congress; and again, I
regarded the negation of constitutional power as to
slavery in the States, when taken in .connexion
with the second resolution, as an admission of that
power in this District; and the report itselfregards
the two objects as inseparably connected, both in
the designs of the abolitionists and in practical re-
sults.
I could not for the same reasons vote for the
second, and for the additional reason, that this re-
solution only asserts that Congress ought not to in-
terfere with slavery in the District, omitting the
wqrds in the instructions, "Because it would
be a violation of pu lic faith, &c," which is all that
ever was pretendM, either by the chairman of
that committee, or by the report itself, as ftrnish-
ing any guarantee to the South, and leaves it
purely a question of expediency; changing with
every change of the opinions of he majority on
that question a resolution f*Lwh- any aboon-
ist might have voted, and fo'vhich some, as Tbe-
lieve, did vote. I have no doubt that this con-
c ssion in the resolutions reported, and departure
from instructions given, was to get as large a vote
as possible for the resolution; and on the other
hannas far as it went, the resolution assetted-
whI I believe to be true, and I'could not there
fore vote against it. I refused to vote, and did so
in the most courteous and east defying manner.
I could not vote for the reasons fiveni. I could
oot ask to be excused, because, by admitting the
rght to excuse, I shoujlhave admittew-he right
of the House to force me to vote, and"f inse,
quence its jurisdiction 6f the subject #hadil Mn'1

means of relief I was possessed of, short of extrac-
tion, without success. Being presented with a

Being exposed by my situation as toll-man
of one of the bridges in the city, to all kinds of
weather, by day and by night, and having been af
flicted, for several years past, with frequent attacks
of the Toothache and Ague, without being able to
obtain relief from the numerous prescriptions for
the cure oftliis complaint, I was presented by Mr.
I. Moore, i' July last, with a bottle of Hiscock's
Electric Anodyne, their suffering under a violent
attack of the Toothache and Ague, and received
fiom its applicationn immediate relief. At the
time referred to, s' ch was the severity of the dis-
ease, I felt unable to attend to my business; my face
was greatly swollen, and I had been deprived of
rest for several nights. By applying the Ano-
dyne once only, thle pain, in a few minutes, en-
tirely sub)sided the swelling in my face came down,
and I have not. been troubled with the complaint

S'T'AGNEi'S PATENT TRISS,
For the radical cure of irnia, or Rvpture
7rqilHIS instrument has been fund to effect
permanent cures in all cases, even in old
and invwterae ruptures, and is better calculated
to restrain ob.;tinate protruseions than any other
truss known to the profession.
The subscriber being so fully convinced of the
importance of this invention, has purchased from
the proprietor the privilege of introducing' it into
thie practice of Surge-ry in the District of Colum-
bia, and invites those who are subjects of Her-
nia to make trial of Stagner's Truss. iHe has pzr-
mission to refer to all the Physicians in the Dis-
trict of Columbia, and to many of the most emi-
nent and respectable Physicians in the United
States whose certificates are in his possession.
J. F. CALLAN,
opposite the Post Office.
The following testimonials are selected from among
a large number which have been spontaneously
offered by distinguished members of the pro-
fessisn.
WILLIAM GIBSON, M. D. the able and dis-
tinguished Professor of Surgery in the University
of Pennsylvania, has spoken of this Truss in the
most favorable manner in a clinical lecture to his
pupils. After having spoken of the ordinary
Trusses now in use, which he observed, merely
palliated or prevented the further extension of the
disease, with the exception of some few cures
wnich had been effected in children, he went on
to say, that although he was favorably impressed
with the invention, as he had said in a previous
lecture, he could not at that time form any certain
conclusion as to its merits, not having then ex-
amined any cases in which the inst-ument had
been applied; but since then he had examined
three cases, in which the most perfect cures had
been effected. He said one was a case of a gen-
tleman aged upwards of 60 years, who had been
laboring under Scotal Hernia nine years, on one
side as large as a cocoa nut; he had never obtained
any radical relief until Stagner's Truss was ap-
plied, which has to all- appearances, effected a
perfect cure. Another not so far advanced in
age, but whose case was equally intractable, who
had tried every species of Truss heretofore in use,
without even a palliation of the symptoms, as he
found it impossible with them to keep his bowels
in their proper situation, who, by the application
of Stagner's Truss, has been radically cured, a
perfect cicatrization of the part having taken
place. And the third was that of a young man
who had been cured of Inguinal Hernia by the
same instrument.
Dr. Gibson then said: From these cases, trom
the testimony of other gentlemen entitled to the
most profound respect, who have had ample op-
portunity of witnessing the cures effected by this.
Truss; and from his former impressions with re-
spect to the indications to be fulfiled in the treat-
ment of this terrible malady, he had the most fa-
vorable impression towards it, and had great
hopes that it will cause an entire revolution in
this department of Surgery."
Dr. McCLELLAN, Professor of Surgery in tihe
Jefferson Medical College, stated, irt one ofhs
lectures on Hernia, delivered the present session,
that he considered the improvement of Stagner to
be an important contribution to the interests of hu-
manity. Several students in that College have
offered extracts from their note books, in which
they represent the Professor as saying, that he
considered this Truss to be the only one on which
hlie could depend in the way for a radical cure. lHe
stated that he had seen it effect speedy cur- s in
several cases, where every other contrivance had
;aitct-tvenin restraining the fleriialdescenit. lie
particularly mentioned the case of a gentleman
who had been for a long time troubled with an ob.
stinate Femoral Rupture, which he had never been
able to keep frem descending, until h(; resorted to
Stagner's Truss; and although he was s-o carele s
as to lay aside tile int-trmumeiit in eight or nine day.,
in consequence of an ulceration of the skin, the
Hlernia never returned, and a firm durationin and
closure was established in the course of the pas-
sage, under Poupart's Ligament.

"The design o0 1he MUSICAL LIBRARY is to fuir-
nish monthly a choice collection of music, both
vocal and instrumental, sacred and secular, pre-
sented in such a form as will render it a desirable
companion in t.c parlor, the social circle, and in
private instruction. Pieces will be occasionally
inserted suitable for the private practice, or public
performances, of choirs or singing societies. The
music wiil be selelected from the works of the best
commposers, ancient and modern. Ori-inal cornm-
positions m .y occasionally appear. The editors
wiil coIstantly aim to select such music, and such
only, as possesses an elevated character, an is

ARTRIDGE'S ORIGINAL LEATHER PIRE-
RERVATIVE, or OIL BL.ACKING-a pa-
tent composition, or cleaning, nourishing, and
preserving either; renewing the color, rendering
it soft, pliable, and elastic, and when corrimpetely
filled, impenetrable by water, or water proof.
This composition is aot only the best, but the
most convenient and ch.:apest article ever known,
for cleaning and preserving Chaise and Carriage
Tops, Tlhorough-Braces, and Harness. It reno-
vates and nouris-hes the leather, renders it soft and
elastic, renews the color and strength, and pre-
vents it from drying and cracking.
For boots and shoes it is invaluable. When al-
lowed to dry, it closes the pores of the leather,
renders them impenetrable by the wet, and keeps
them soft and comfortable to the feet.
For Factory BWnds, it is peculiarly beneficial,
giving them an adhesiveness and elasticity that no
other substance will give.
It is also applicable to Engine Hose, Forge Bel-
lows, 'Travelling Trw.'ks, and to all leather expos-
ed to the action of heat, cold, or wet, and en-
tirely super.e.:les the use of oil.
I ECOi)' MENDYATIONS.
Havir.g made use of this composition for the
purposes above named, and finding it superior to
ai-y other article we have ever used, in its beiog
not only more economical, but more beneficial in
its effets upon leather, we recommend it to the
public' as a highly useful and important discovery.

driers The undersigned having made use of Par-
ti idge's Original Leather Preservative, and fil'y
tested its effects, cheerfully certify to the fact
that we have found it all that it purports to be.
We find one of its most essential and most de-

sirable properties to consist in its preserving Har-
ness, Chaise-Tops, &c. &c. exposed to wet and
muddy weather, from becoming hard and stiff,
and from tarnishing or changing their color; and
the circumstance that its effect is more durable
than oil, requiring also a less quantity and less fire-
quentapplication, renders it a much cheaper arti
cle. (Signed) Reuben D,.vis, Joseph Stone, WSJ-

', OW IS THE TIME.-From the flattering en-
J., couragement the proprietors have met with,
in the sale of their tickets, they have some assur-
rances that they may have it in their power to
draw their lottery on the 15th day of August next.
VALUABLE REAL AND PERSONAL PRO-
PEATY BY LOT FERY, to be disposed of under
the superintendence of the Trustees appointed by
an act of the General Assemby of Maryland:
passed at December session 1834; to authorize
Ienry Shafer George Shafer, and Henry I. Sha-
for, to distribute their estate by lot.
'This property is situated in the village of Funks-.
town in Washington county, on the National Turn-
pike Road leading fr'am Baltimore to Wheeling,
and distance two miles from Hagerstown, being in
the centre of one of the most populous, wealthy
and thriving counties in the State of Maryland.
'! he mills are upon the waters of the Antietam
and driven by said stream with ample water pow-
er, and which is very constant and never failing.
The advantages attached to the mills are numer-
ous, being in one of the most productive counties
cf the State for wheat, and all kinds of grain, wool,
&c &c. being distant only six miles from Wil-
liainsport on the Chesapeake and Ohio c.nal, and
n-r Iagerstown, (with a turnpike, leading to
both places,) one of the best wh; at markets in the
State ,where large quantities of grain finds its
market from Penwisyivaniia, &c. The proposed
railroad contemplated from Chamnbersburgh, and
passing through Hagerstown to intersect the Bal-
timore and Ohio railroad at Weverton on the Po-
tomac, will pass very near to this place. There
is not much doubt but that the Antietam will be
mcde navigabh', so as to intersect the Chesapeake
aEnd Ohio canal at the Antietam iron works; as
there is now a lock at this place, built by the Po-
tomac company, which will pa's a boat from the
waters The lots of ground are situated in and adjoining
Funkstown, being many of them valuable building
lot, and in a very high state of cultivation.
The Mansion house is a large and commodious
dwelling house, celebrated for the flower and fruit
garden attached to it.
This property was valued by commissioners ap-
pointed by the Legislature. The prizes in this
lottery are subject to no discount; the prizes that
may be drawn will be delivered after forty days
subsequent to the drawing, if demanded within
twelve months from its date.
The title to this property is unquestionable. A
plot of the real estate is deposited with the Trus-
tt es.
The price of a ticket is but Ten Dollars.

pointed by the Legislature of Maryland.

small sum ,f $10, may venture without any scru-

ply to relieve the proprietors of the late Antietam
Wooh n Factory which was destroyed by fire; and
(hl chances are as good if not better than in mo-
neyed Lotteries.
Who would not r'sk the sum of $10 ror such val-
uable property? Nothing venture, nothing" win-
delays are dangerous-send on the cash and you
shall have the prizes.

S TO THE PUBLIC.
HFIE cotton planters of the south are deeply
interested in an inquiry which has been re-
ently suggested as to the production of cotton in
s natural state of various colors. Mr. Lyford of
altimore first assured me of the very important
ct that it could be done; and in proof of it he gave
e specimens of these various colors, and also ex-
bited the seed which had been presented to him
Chili. Of these varieties, the "light nankeen"
id a "beautiful brown" were shown me.
In a recent publication of my own, entitled the
'Memoir of Samuel Slater, connected with the
history of the Culture and Manufacture of Cot-
n," I have alluded to this important discovery.
n the further prosecution of my inquiries at
Vashington, CAREY SELsr.N, Esq., informed me,
at in settling the estate of Commodore Thompson
was found, that in,his lifetime he had brought
om Chili specimens and samples of the "light
vown," and the "light lilac."
He had also brought home with him the seeds
* these various colors, with a laudable desire of
troducing their. cultivation, and the seed was
ven to the Hon. John Forsyth, Dixon H. Lewis,
id Mr. Davis; but upon trial, the seed was found
o old for vegetation.
Thus the death of Commodore Thompson unfor-
nately prevented the introduction of this new
id valuable article.
I have thought proper to bring these facts to
e notice of all cotton planters, for the purpose
Interesting them' in this subject, and, for the
itrpoze of illiciting their investigation of the mat-
er, by inquiry and experiment.

INDUSTRY.
.iTHIS thorough bred racehorse wil
I( again occupy his old stand at my
stable, eight miles from Winchester,
eight from Newtown, eight from Bat-
tietown, tour from Millwood, and two aind a half
from the White Post-and be let to mates at 15
dollars the single leap, if paid within the season;
if not paid within that time, the season price will
be charged. $25 the season, payable on the first
of August, and $40 for insurance, to be paid as
soon as the mare is known to be with foal. (Part-
ing with the mare, or irregular attendance at the
stand, forfeits the insurance.) In every case 50
cents cash to the groom, to be sent with the mare.
Mares put by the season or leap last year, tliat
did not prove with foal, will be insured at the sea-
son price this year. Mares from a distance will
be furnished with pesturage without charge,.
Those wishing to put mares- early in season, can
have them furnished with provender of every de-
suripti ,n at a moderate price. Care willbe taken
to avoid accidents and escapes, but I will not be
accountable for them.
Industry is a beautiful dark brown, 16 hands
and one quarter of an i...h h ;.11 ,1 h years old
this spring, and is one of tile largest and best form-
ed thorough bred sons of his distinguished sire (Sir
Arichy.) His performances under his former name
(Niger) and his present name, rank him with tlie
best horses for speed and bottom, and as a-foal
getter he is inferior to none. Ih one of his races
over the Baltimore course, he ran 4 miles in 7
minutes and 53 seconds.
PEnDIGRE.-Industry was by Sir Archy, his dam
by Ball's Florazel, his grand dam Celia, by Wil-
dair, great grand dam Lady Bolingbrbke by Pan-
taloon, great great grand dam Cadiz by King He'
rod, by old Fearnought out of Kitty Fisher; Cadiz's
dam was Primrose, who was got by Dove, who
was got by Old Crab, who was got by Stilly, whose
clam was Selima, wvho was got by the Godolphin
Arabian.
PERFORuxAtcEs.-October, 1827, when three
yeirs old, he ran for the post stake over the New-
market course, which hie wdn in fine style. Next
week, over the Tree Hill course, he won the
sweepstakes. Next spring, (4 fears old,) he was
beaten over Broad Rock course, 4 mile heats, by
Sally Hope-a good race. He was then taken t
Baltimore, and won the 3 mile hents, beating
Bachelor. Fall of the same year, at Washington,
he won the colt's purse, 2 mile heats; next day lie
won the Jocky Club purse- 3 mile heats, beating
Molatto, Mary, and othe" Next week, at Balti
more, won the 4 mile seats, beating Bachelor.
May, 1829, (then 5 years old,) over the Washing.
ton course, be won the Jocky Club purse, 4 mile
heats. Next fall he was beaten over the Hagers-
town course, in which race he broke down, and
has never started since.
InnusTRt will only be permitted to attend to
four mares a day, at intervals of four hours, arid in
no Instance will any part of this advertisement be
deviated from. Mares put by the season this spring
that do not prove with foal, will be permitted
to go to him throughout the fall season, without
any additional charge. a.

I100 DOLLARS REWARD.
T-flfHE undersigned having, after many years ex-
4 perience, succeeded in making, as he be-
lieves, the finest Pistols in the United States, has
just ascertained that imitations of them, engraved
or stamped with his name, are now in the market.
These Pistols are known by the title of the "DE-
RINGER & ARMS rRONG Pistols." The tin-
dersigned will give one hundred dollars reward
for the proof that shall convict the man or men,
who are practising this fraud on the public in liis
name.
The following certificate is made public, not
only in proof that this fraud is practised, but
that the Mr. Smith named in it may enjoy the
satisfaction of being thus publicly met by a de-
nial of his assertion, that he got the Pistols"
referred to (in the certificate) "of Mr. Derin-
ger, in Philadelphia." That declaration the un-
dersigned pronounces to be FALSE.
Those who may be curious to see this imitation
of the Deringer & Armstrong Pistol, may have
that opportunity by calling on the uindersigned at
his residence, No. 370 north Front street,Philadel-

rendered to Mr. Deringer, and charged rr-. t'i-.r-

Some thirteen years ago, I first visited the
city of Washington, during the sitting of Confress.
The Supreme Court of the United States was at
thIe same time in session. A gentleman of the
bar', now of the Senate, from Kentucky, (Mr. Clay,)
was engaged before the court on one side of a
case; and another gentleman from the same State,
(Kentucky,) then, and now, a member of the
House of Represent-itives, of somewhat rougher
aspect, (Mr. Hardin,) argued the case on the otit-r
side. I listened attentively to bo'h. Thie ronrhll-
er gentleman, in the course df his argument,
talked of trioe practice in Kentueky, and with
great nonchalance informed the court how lie
gained an important land cause in that State. He
cc ated, hlie said, afnlse er feigned issue before the
sitting of the court, and led tihe antagonist party
to confine hlis, attention excihsively to the taking
of testimony inn relation to that feigned issue.
Keeping the real point A secret from the adverse
p:urty, lie carried hiis ease at t1)e trial by surprise.
MarshaIl, and hnthli'ro(' iVaehin,,ton, then on tlie
bench, smiled at thie frank expression of the blunt
attorney, who told the story as if hlie really thought
lie deserved credit for time trick.
There are in .: .'",',,d issues, Mr. President;
but few who i. 'ci- 'ctit ri are as candid as was
this KenthiktVy l yer, before the Supreme Court.
When tihe idl anas first broached, that a resolu-
tion haviingI no necessary reference to any existing
laws could 'not be expunged from lithe legislative
journal of the Senate, because the constitution re-
quires tine Senate to keep a journal of its proceee-
mg4,S I would not have believed that such a
f in.t"l issue could be entertained so long as
o: Jh no have assumed the appearance of settled
I seriousness. Surely, in all thIe expunging that
heretofore has taken place, it never before entered
into the heart of man to conceive such an objec-
tion as this.
It is said thIe constitution requires a journal to
be kept; and therefore no part of this journal can
be mutilated, struck out, or destroyed. If it be an
imperative constitutional injunction to preserve,
there must be some object to be gained by the
preservation. The journal can lie useful for no
other purpose, than the preservation of evidence
of proceedings.
All those partsrofthe journal relating to laws that
have become obsolete, or to proceedings that are
of no consequence, are valuable only as objects
of curiosity, or as matters of history: thIe public
interest cou'd not suffer, if such parts were ut.
terly destroyed. The journal of the Senate is
kept and preserved for no other purpose, than to
show when and how laws are passed, and it is of
as much consequence to preserve the engrossed
bill or resolution in that branch of the Legisla-
ture, in which such engrossed bill or resolution
originated, as it is to preserve the journal of pro-
ceeding, to show the progress and history of the
same bill or resolution. lf both the engrossed bill
and the journal were destroyed, the enrolled bill
on parchment would remain, which would be evi-
dence of the existence of the law; and even if that
enrolled bill were destroyed, the law would still
be in existence, iflthere remained any where pub-
lished copies, which had been certified as from
the original. "
The object of possessing an official copy of thfe
journal of legislative proceedings, is simply to pre-
serve collateral evidence that existing laws passed
in due course of legislation: other evidence than
these journals, such as petitions on which laws
are predicated, reports of committees on those
petitions, minutes of reference, original drafts of
bills or resolutions or amendments, may be eqally
important; and yet it will not be urged that the
destruction or obstruction of these, either weakens
the force of'the law, or violates the constitution.
There are various ways in which the manuscript
journal of the Senate may be obliterated or de-
stroyed. The building may take fire, and that,
with the jourri'al, may be accidentally burned: a
thief may steal it, and carry it off, or bury it in the
water or in the earth: the minutes may take fire
during an evening session, and thus prevent the
Secretary from copying the proceedings at length.
The constitution requires journal to he kept:
would all these casualties or acts by which tihe
journal shall he destroyed, be so many viola-
tions of the constitution ?
Even if the resolution now under consideration,
without reciting it, .went so far as entirely to ob-
literate a former resolution that should be deemed
improper to be retained on the journal, I cannot
concede that tihe act of obliteration would be
unconstitutional. If that resolution were an existing-
law, still inter,.fe' 1 o be kept in force, the act of
obliteration would not nullify the law: applied
to a simple declaratory resolution that was never
intended to have the force of a law, the oblitera-
tion cannot harm the people for whose benefit all
laws are made; and if it does not harm them, it
can be no infringement of thie constitution, such
as is worthy of reprobation.
1 marvel much at the pertinacity with which
tfiis question is attempted to be discussed as an
infringement of the constitution. It seems to me
that, by taking the ground they do, the opponents
of the expunging resolution blink the real ques-
tion: it has all the appearance of a mere subter-
fuge. The horns "of thins altar will not protect
them-the cry f "a violated constitution," as it is a
virtual confession that the people are right in de-
manding the obliteration of an infamous record,
so -it furnishes strong presumptive evidence of
consciousness that the resolution to be expunged
was wrong in itself.
My object is not, Mr. President, so much to
argue tke question of power in the Senate to ex-
punge, as to show that the sentence of condem-
nation passed on the Ptr.sident of the United States
was not only extra-judicial, but unjust; for I con-
ceive it to be a most inglorious evasion that Sena-
tors now say this sentence of condemnation im-
puted to the President no crime. If the Senators
from Louisiana (Porter) and Virginia (Leigh) will
look back to the criminal charges of "high
crimes and misdemeanors" which were almost
daily made in this body two years ago, they may
well conclude that the people of the United States
will repose little fifth in the assertion now, that
the resolution of April, 1834, imputed to the
President of the United States no criminal in-
tention. To show that it was the intention to
mpute the highest criminality to the President in
Ihe passage of that resolution, the speeches of
msore than one Senator who voted for it might be
quoted. One single extract from the speech of
the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) after
the resolution luad passed, will serve my purpose:
IN SxENATB, April 30, 1834 -Mr. Clay rose:
"Never," said lie, Mr. President, have I known
ar read of an administration which expires with
no munch agony, and so little composure and re-
signation, as that which now, unfortunately, has
lhe control of public affairs in this country. It
exhibits a state of mind feverish, fretful, anid
idgetty [a beautiful alliteration!] bounding ruth-
/essly from one expedient to another, without any
sober or'settled purpose.
*. ri *
"But I would ask in what tone, temper, and
spirit does "te President come to the Senate?
As a great State culprit who has been arraigned
at the bar of justice or sentenced as guilty? Does
he manifest any of those compunctions visiting
of conscience which a guilty violator of the con-
ititution and laws of the land ought to feel?


Does he address himself to a high court with the
respect, to say nothing of humility, which a per-
son accused or convicted, would naturally feel?
No, no. He comes as if the Senate were guilty;
mand as if he were in thIe judgment seat, and tihe
Senate stood accused before him. He arraigns the
Senate; puts it upon trial; condemns it. He
comes as if hie felt himself elevated far above the
Senate, and beyond all reach ofthe law, surr'onund-
ed by unapproachable impunity. He whIo pro-
fesses to be an innocent and injured man, gravely
accuses the Senate, and modestly asks it to
rput upon its own record his sentence of condemn.
nation! When before did the arraigned or con-
victed party demand of thie court which was to
try, or had condemned him, to enter upon their
records a severe denunciation of their own con-
duct? The President presents himself before the
Senate, not in the garb of suffering innocence,
but in imperial and royal costume, as a dictator
o rebuke a refractory Senate; to command it to
record his solemnprotest; to chastise it for diso-
bedience."
Concluding:
1" The Senator (Mr. Grundy of Tennessee)
thinks that there is no coverlet large enough to
rolect all the various elements ofthe opposition
He is mistaken; there is one of sufficiently eapa-
rious dimensions, r, cenly wove at :a Jackson
torn, called a protest on which is marked a vio-
ation ofthie constitution, and an assumption of
normoius Executive power; and the honorable
senator had belter ha.nsen to place himself under
he banners of those who a e contending against
rower and prerogative for free institutions and
ivil liberty. Arid he tadl better' 19s no time,


for the protest is thie last stroke upon thie last nail
driven into the coffin (not of Jackson-may ihe
live a thousand years!) but of Jacksonism!"
In a speech delivered at Concord, New Hamp-
shire, in October, 1834, by a Senator (Mr. Web-
Sster) who voted for the condemnatory resolution,
I find thie following strong and positive assertion:
"It is true, that the operation commenced with
thie Branch Bank in this State, (New Hampshire,)
It was tried to make that bank a-political institu.-
tion. Men here applied to the President to make
the bank at Portsmouth a political bank. Fhey
wrote to thie Secretary of thie Treasury to do this.
These arefacts-made known to thie world-not
disputed." ,
It never was asserted, then, that the bank
w'as unconstitutional-that it was a 'mtonster.' And
there was good reason for this silence. The
bank had taken no part in politics; no one had
been wNicked enough to bring it into the political
arena. It is as true as that out' fathers fell at
Bunker's Hill, at Lexington, and at Monmouthli,
that this outcry against the bank. 'as raised be-
cause the bank refused to be made a political en-
gine."-Same speech.
This language was used by that honorable Sena-
tor about the same time that a committee of the
Senate, commonly called tihe Ulhltwashing Com-
nmittee, reiterated the same and other similar lan-
guage in justification of the Bank and in condem-
nation of those who opposed its rechliarter.
I intend, in the remain ks I have to make, to no-
tice the charge that the operation commenced"
by an attempt on the part of the friends of tihe ad-
ministration "to make the bank'at Portsmouth a
political bank;" and the statement that thIe bank
had taken no part in politics." The testimony
on which tihe charge and disclaimer have been
based, is the authority and word of thie President
of the bank. I shall confront these 'statements
generally, with other statements coming from the
same quarter; and if I shall fail to prove by the
President of the bank, that thie President of tIe
bank and the aforesaid Senator charged falsely
When hie charged the attempt to make the
Branch Bank at Portsmouth ;i political engine-
if I shall fail to demonstrate, on thie authority of
the President of the bank himself, that hie had
entered, with all the money of the bank, into the
political arena, 1 will concede that the friends of
the batik have not been quite as much in the
wrong as the enemies of the bank have alleged.
I understood thie Senator from Virginia (Mr.
Leigh) to say, there is no provf of abuses and mis-
conduct of the Bank of the United States, unless
we take charges against the bank for evidence
against the bank. if lie intends by this to justify
the resolution ofthe Senate which condemned the
President of the United States without a hearing-
for it is presumed he would impute these unprov-
ed or false charges against the bank to the Presi-
dent, who has been assailed as the bank's greatest
enemy-I will answer his allegation, that the Presi-
dent is guilty, by making the bank falsify its own
charges, and disprove the bank's innocence by the
confessions of the bank's own principal officer.
The Senator from Virginia says he is strictly and
peculiarly a lawyer, meaning, I presume, a lawyer
as contradistinguished from the legislator or the
politician. Judging from thIe character of hiis
speech alone on the expunging resolution, I agree
that his description of himself is correct; for who
so well as the mere lawyer can wrap up the plain-
est proposition in a web ofmetaphysical subtleties?
To those who place implicit faith in him, all his
propositions and deductions undoubtedly carry the
weight of mathematical demonstration. To my-
self his whole speech appeared in the true charac-
ter of the lawyer, who makes the most for his cli-
ent; his argument was the reversal of that rule
which every plain, unsophisticated mind would
adoptto convince others ofthe truth as it had con-
vinced itself; he seemed to entrench himself in a
citadel of assumptions, applied to the case as ihe
would have it; and he afterwards made all his facts
precisely to conform to his assumptions. The late
Thomas Addis Emmett wsas once concerned as as-
'ociate counsel in a case with Aaron Burr, in which
thie latter had thie prior management. When tihe
case was about coming to trial, Emnmett asked
Burr what facts they could prove in support of
their client? The answer was, ask nbt what we
can prove; rather ask what is necessary to be
proved? He'e is a specimen ofthe mere lawyer.
It was in that early age of the practice probably,
when the profe-sion had not learnt to throw off, as
legislators, their ex part character as lawyers, that
they were excluded from the Britsh Parliament.
"Sir Richard Baker, in Ilis Chronicle, under tlh
year 1736, records, that the House of Commons
ordered that no man of the law should be returned
as knight of the shire, and, if returned, that lie
should have no wages." I would by no means
recur to this prec-dent as a parliamentary prac-
tice at this time binding on either H-Iouse of Corn-
Sfi ess.
The point on whiI h I would first comment, is
the charge which has been so often repeated by
the bank and its friends involved in the contro-
versy, relative to tihe removal of Mr. Mason front
the presidency of the branch of New Hampshire."
'Ihis charge was not conjured up until nearly
three years after the events to which it alludes
had transpired. It first made its appearance in the
report of a single member of the committee of the
House of Representatives "appointed on the 15th
of Marchli, 1832, to examine and report on the
books and proceedings of the Bank of the United
States "
The committee had behn in session twenty-four
days at Philadelphia, (from March 22d to Apri
14th) and were about to close the examination,
when the following proceeding was had:
On motion of Mr. WATMVOUGa,
Resolved, That the President of the Bank of
the United States be requested to furnish the com-
mittee with copies of the correspondence between
himself and the Secretary of the Treasury, and
Isaac Hill, late Second Comptroller of the ,Treasu-
ry, with reference to charges made against the
official conduct of Jeremiah Mason, President of
thie United States Branch B:mk in New Hamp-
shire."
The correspondence, in manuscript, making
more than forty closely printed pages, was pro-
duced by Mn'. Biddle on the instant. It bore evi-
dent marks of age, having been thumbed till parts
of it were scarcely legible. Tha majority of
thue committee, it is understood, before that day,
had never heard of this correspondence, nor riad
it entered into the heartof mortal man concerned
in tins correspondence, excepting Nicholas Bid'
dile himself, to conceive that it could be tortured
into a purpose or use such as was afterwards made
of it. If a majority of the committee had time
or opportunity to scan this correspondence, they
would by no means suppose that such an infer.
ence could be deduced from it, as seems to have
been discovered by the keen optics of a single
member, (Mn'. J. Q. Adams,) and afterwards con-
curred "fully in all the statements made, and
principles developed," by another member of the
minority (Mr. J. G. Watmough.) Mr. Adams's
report relative to this correspondence was in the
words following:
'i The complaints made against the president of
the -bank at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the
summer of 1829, .nd the correspondence be-
tweei the boarn at Philadelphia and the late Se-
cretaries of the 'treasury and of War, form a por-
tion of the documents relating to the books and
proceedings of the bank, called 'br by tlie com-
mittee ant communicated to them. They are"


not noticed in tlihe report of the chairman, but,
in thIe opinion of the subscriber, are more deserv-
ing of the attention of Congress and of the nation,
than any other part of the papers commented upon
in the report. An effort, very thinly veiled, on tihe
part of two of the executive departments of thie
General Government, to exercise a control, po-
litical and pecuniary over tie proceedings of
the bank and its branches-a control highly ex-
ceptionable in principle, and even contrary to
law, appears to him to be fully disclosed in those
papers. He will not permit himself to inquire
into thIe motives of the agents in those transac-
tions. It is sufficient for the protection of the
public interest that the projected encroachments
of power were disconcerted and laid aside."
So much for tire high accusations made by
Mr. Adams against "two of the executive de-
partments of the General Government." It
would, perhaps, be a sufficient answer--an an-
swer that would foinrever shut the mouths of all ac-
cusers-to quote tihe statement of Mr. Ingliam in re-
lation to this matter, written in June, 1832, near time
time at which Mr. Adams's report first appeared,.
At the time of writing this letter, Mr. Ingham
was no friend oftlihe administration; and from the
temper he discovered after leaving the office of
Secretary of the Treasury, it might well be ex-
pected that lie would be no less willing to see
anry charge of "projected encroachments of pow-
er" established against the administration, than
even Mr. Adams himself. Noticing the unatithor
ized publication of a confidennial correspondence
nearly three years after it took place, and tine
accusation made in the report of Mr. Adams, Mr.
lngliam, in a letter published in thie Philadelphia
Sentinel, says:
"But my motives were misunderstood, and',my
friendly purposes wholly disappointed, and I nr w

political aid through the operations of the bank,"
the humble part I acted in" forwarding the wishes
of the citizens of Portsmouth, without distinction
of party, is misrepresented, by quoting from my
letter detached sentences going to show that my
application had a bearing exclusively political.
Then holding a subordinate station in one of the
accounting departments of the Treasury, I was
absent a few weeks in New HTampshire. While
at my place of residence, which.is the seat of
government, a messenger, who had arrived the
day before from Portsmouth, presented the peti-
tion, subscribed byfifty-eight individual firms of
Portsmouth, addressed to the Directors of the
Bank of the United States, remonstrating against
thereappointment of Mr. Mason as a director of
the branch at Portsmouth, and representing that
"the administration of its concerns during the
past year has created great dissatisfaction ia this
quarter of the country, and has been of a charac-
ter, in our opinion, partial, harsh, and no less in-
jurious to the bank itself than to those who are
accustomed to do business wilh it;" and also a me-
morial, signed by between fifty and sixty members
of the State Legislature, representing that they
"have good reason to believe that tihe late man-
agement of the Board of Directors of thle Bran-h
Bank at Portsmouth has been oppressive to the
men of business in the State, and tends to the in-
jury of thie institution itself'" "that the conduct
of the head of the Board has been destructive to
.the business of Portsmouth, and offensive to the
whole community;" and respectfully naming ten
individuals who are recommended as candidates
for directors.. This petition and memorial he re-
quested me to take on my return to Washington,
and cause them to be laid before the President of
the mother bank. Passing rapidly through Phila-
delphia, I had no time to see or consult with the
president and directors, with whom I had no per-
sonal acquaintance. I did, however, consult with
two gentlemen whom I knew, who engaged to
lay the matter before the president of the bank,
whenever I should forward -the papers from Wash-
ington. It is my letter to tliose two gentlemen
that Mr. Biddle not only took and used as a pub-
lic letter, but the contents of which hlie has dis-
torted, for the purpose of forcing an inference
that 1 was interfering in accordance with the de-
sign of certain "political chiefs" at Washington,
to corrupt the vestal purity of the bank, and en-
tice or drive it "into a base political connexion
with the administration."
The following extracts, embracing the whole
scope of the private letter which I addressed to
Messrs. Barker and Pemberton of Philadelphia,
under date of July 17, 1829, decisively prove that
my object, so far as I had an object, was entirely
misrepresented in the pamphlet of the Bank Di-
rectors:
"Having recently spent several weeks in New
Hampshire, I am able to say, from my own know-
iedge,that the sentitnent ofdissatisfaction on account
.of the recent management of the branch at Ports-
mouth, by Mr. Mason, is general; that his conduct
has been partial and oppressive,and calculated not
less to injure the institution than to disgust and dis-
affect the principal business men, and that no
measure short'of his removal will tend to reconcile
the people of New Hampshire to the Bank. 0
"The friends of General Jackson in New Hamp-
shire have had but too much reason to complain of
the management of the branch at Portsmouth.
All they now ask is, that this institution in tht
.State may not continue to be an engine of political
oppression by any party. The board has, I be-
lieve, invariably and exclusively consisted of indi-
viduals opposed to the General Government. Of
tile ten persons named in the petition for directors,
six are friends of the last, and four are fiends of
the present administration, they are, however,
alike, gentlemen of respectability, who have no
sinister objectsto be promoted, understanding well
the responsibilities and wants of business men.
With such a direction, I do not doubt the branch
at Portsmouth will be secure and prosperous, and
satisfy all."
Under these representations the President of
the bank visited Portsmouth, and is understood to
have exhibited every written representation made
to him, confidentially or otherwise, to the eyes or
the ears of the assembled citizens of the town; and
the well known talent of his principal officer, for
small verbal criticism and for ridicule, was put in
requisition for an exhibition of the letters and peti-
tions before the people. It was soon discovered
to be no part of Mr. Biddle's object to listen to the
complaints of the people, whether with or without
foundation. He came there for no such purpose.
It was no part of his object to satisfy that commu-
nity by any relaxation of severity,- but rather to
conquer the revolting spirit by letting all know
who wanted any indulgence from thie bank, how
much and howdeeply they were under obligations
to his favor. The exclusive political rule of that
bank, from that day to the day it was closed, was
continued. A directorship has in two or three in-
stances been offered to friends of the existing ad-
ministration, and, being obliged to act as mere au-
tomatons, each of them, it is believed, has de-
clined to act.
That this bank, existing there for about eigh-
teen years, without taxation from the State,
and having all tile benefits of the publicly deposits
during a greater part orf the time, has been of
real injury to the State, must be admitted. At
first furnishing, by extraordinary capital that
could not be usefully employed, strong tempta-
tions for speculation, this bank terminated the ca-
reer, by prostrating in pecuniary ruin, many men
who might have done a safe business through life
if temptations had not been thrown in their way
to make investments by loans from the bank.
The charge in the'directors' pamphlet, of an ef-
fort at Washington "to render the institution sub-
servient to political purposes," by the order of the
War Department to transfer the pension fund
from the branch bank at Portsmouth to another
bank at Concord, but illy accords with the other
charge which I have at length been considering.
If, int the one case, the attempt had been to cre-
ate a subserviency on the part of the bank by
changing the political character of tire directors,
where would be those consistency in depriving thle
bank at the same time of what seems now to have
been a, privilege, but which, until that time, had
always been represented to be a burden? Tlhe
truth is, that a-majority of the Legislature of
New Hampshire, having been always taught by
those concerned in the United States Bank, titat
the bank coveted not the privilege of paying the
pensioners, petitioned the Secretary of War to re-
move the fund to a more central point, which
would make the average distance of travel for
each and every pensioner from twenty-five to thir-
ty miles less. In several other States, up to that
time, pensions had been paid by agencies other
than those of thIe Bank of the United States and
its branches. The Secretary of War, doubting
not Ilis right, because it had not before been dis-
puted, directed tire pension agency to 1e changed.
This direction and change threw new light on thie
subject. The Bank of the United States, to mag-
nify its services to the public anti make them
more than an equivalent flu, its exclusive privile-
ges, had represented the holding and disbursing of
thie public moneys as extremely onerous. But Mr.
Mason presents an entirely different view of thle
subject, which re offers as a reason why thie bank
should resist the transfer of agencies. He says:
"The removal contemplated would lessen our
means of circulation, and, as I think, be vert/in-
jstrious to the bank." It is difliclult to perceive
how the other of "thIe two Executive Depart-


ments," tile Srcretary of War, should have been
acting in concert with thile Secretary of thie Trea-
sury, when he directed thie pension agency to be
removed from a bank which thie latter was attempt-
ing to control, to another bank over which, by
possibility, hlie had no right of control. It appears
to me that the "'two Executive Departments," if
designing to do what they are charged with doing,
were acting directly at cross purposes,

REMARKS OF Mr. JOHNSON,
Or KENTUC-KY,
In House of Representativres, May, 1836-0On the
bill to pay itoney advancedd by Charileston and
other' southern cities, to prosecute the Florida
war, &c.
It is not, said Mr. JOIINtox, to give utterance
to indign'anit feelings at thie opposition to tis iula-
sure, that I unow address the House. It is not a
party measure which is before us, but a measure
which calls for concert of action with all parties.
It is a subject of too great importance to admit
ofprocrastirtation, by indulging in party inveetivcs.
t)t.r responsibilities are not to each other, but
to our' constituents and to our countr'v. Eachl
member of this House holds the same relation to
Jis inmitediite constituents, and I aim willing to
refer tire con(duet of each to that trlibunal. Tihe
wivole nation is interested i the n'Course pur-lrld
by each meyibler; and to thie test of pubi c opinioii
throughout the whole country, each individual
imlust submiit; whether the award be censure, or
applause, there can be no evasion, mno appeal. It
is our part to act, and thie part of tihe country to
judge of our actions.
When this murderous savage war broke out in
Florida, which has spread ruin and desolation
to many families, an4 half depopulated somen fair


portions of that flourishing territoiy, the hiostil'
trump was heard from Charleston to New Orleans,
and the patriotic citizens of South Caroliria,Georgia
Alabama, and Louisiana, not willing to wait th<
dull delays of this House ,for authority, while theii
fellow citizens were bleeding under the scalping
knife of the savages, flew toarms, and hastened tc
their protection. The service was national
It was no more incumbent upon these States
to protect Florda, than upon other States;
but without waiting to inquire whether justice
would be done by the nation, they met the
impending danger. They justly regarded the
citizens of that territory as a branch of the Ame.
rican family; and that was enough to kindle in the
bosoms of the chivalrouts southrons the fire of
American patriotism. The palmetto was lost in
the eagle; and his talons were stretched to grasp
the hand which was lifted against their country.
men; the bill now before us makes provision to
defray the expense. ThIe emergency of the occa.
sion did not admit of hesitancy, and moneys were
advanced in the city of Charleston, and other towns
in that and tihe other Slates, to meet the exigency.
The great question now is, shall we authorize the
payment? The honor and future safety of tihe
country require, that there shall be no hesitancy
nor delay. Even while we are wasting the time by
cold deliberation upon the subject, the threaten-
ing danger upon the Georgia a.d Alabama fron-
tier may be bursting into a flame, and demanding
similar advances upon the credit of our sense of
national justice. An awful responsibility awaits
him who can make this the unfotbrtunate occasion
for party erimination, for censures against the ad-
ministration, and against tihe Committees of Ways
and Means and on Military Affairs. To produce
delay by complaints of irregularity, because the
measure has been proposed by a committee, with-
out an order from the Hlouse, or a reference from
the House of an Executive communication, or by
motions aind debates in favor of committal, is in
effect to oppose the bill; or at least to deprive it,
without any countervailing benefit, of much of its
utility.
It is not the method of proceeding on ordinary
occasions, to start objections upon these grounds;
and how can it be reconciled to a proper sense of
the duty which we owe the country in a case
like this, connecteJ as it is with the Florida and
the Creek war? I have been, said Mr. Johnson,
a member of Congress for many ears, and for
more than twenty-five years have I been honored as
chairman of some important committee; and dur-
ing the whole of that period, the present mode of
proceeding has been in practice. Whatever sub-
ject comes within the general scope of duties for
which a standing committee is appointed, as well
as subjects referred to them by the House, it Ihas
been the uniform custom for the committee to act
upon, and report the result of such action to the
House. This subject has in like manner been de-
liberated upon by the committee, and the result of
tliat deliberation is presented in thie bill before us.
It is simply to refund what has been liberally ad-
vanced in the hour of dcinger by those patriotic
States, at a time when the honor and safety of our
common country required'the advance for the use
of thie nation, before the national coffers could be
unlocked for the purpose. Whether that money
was paid regularly, according to specified forms,
or not; or whether the requisitions in which it was
paid were drawn, verbatim et literatim, according
to! the usual forms, is to me a matter of no im-
portance. If one of your family is perishing with
starvation,and your friend wilt purchase food for his
relief, you will not inquire into thie form in which
lie made tie payment. It will be sufficient for
you to know that the benefit was received. So in
this case, it is sufficient for me to know that the
money was-advanced; that it was expended in
the public service, and that the country re-
ceived its value. Deeds of patriotism like this
merit a public acknowledgment, rather than
a dull, protracted, reluctant compliance with
the imperative demand of justice. We should
faithfully and promptly refund the last cent ad-
vanced in such a case. We should do it, because
it is the dictate ofjustice-because honor requires
it-because the character of this House and of
the whole nation demands it. We should do it,
to show to the world that the impulse of pratriot-
ism is not despised by a Republic; and to inspire
in our citizens a confidence, that voluntary sacri-
fices in the extremity ofdanger, shall be cheerful-
ly and promptly remunerated.
The amendment proposed to the bill is merely
to explain a former law of a similar character. It
proposes to pay for the services of the volunteer
militia who were called into service by the com-
manding General in the first moments of the Semi-
nole war. The sudden rupture of the savages
was like an unanticipated flame breaking out in
the midst of a city, which requires the immediate
exertions of the firemen to subdue. A little de-
lay would involve tthe whole town in irrecover-
able ruin. So thie ravages of the Indians, if per-
mitted to pursue thie work of devastation till de-
spatches would be sent to the seat of Government,
and an order issued from the Executive for call-
ing out hae militia, would have completed the
work of'destruction through the whole of the
country where it raged. The commanding Gene-
ral, as in duty bound, called for militia aid to check
the ravages of this desolating war, and the patriotic
citizens volunteered their ser-vices. They were
gladly accepted. These are the citizen soldiers,
who have been braving the dangers and enduring
the storm of that sanguinary conflict, whose set-
vices have been recognized by the Government,
that the amendment proposes to pay. They made
the first sacrifice in their country's defence; met
the danger at the threshold, and voluntarily pour-
ed out their blood upon the altar of their suffering
country. We intended to provide for their pay,
anrd thought we had done so by a law already pass-
ed; but in the multiplicity of business, there was an
accidental omission in the framing of the law to
meet their case. The amendment proposed is
only to give such an extent-to the application of
that law as to embrace thie case of these men, and
so carry into effect our declared intention. Upon
this bill and this amendment, subjects'as plainly
just, aird as clear to the understanding as the
simplest proposition that could be stated, we
are consuming the day, and wasting the precious
time of the House in animadversions that have
no direct bearing upon the subject. Is this the
proper theme for introducing fastidious complaints
and party denunciations against the administration
of the Government? (" are there no questions
tlrat can arise, even upon the common measure of
justice between citizens and their Government,
but what must be converted into party strifes?
Among other complaints, imputations have been
made against those who are conducting thie war
in Florida, as if our regular officers, whose busi-
ness ani whose duty it is to obey the orders of
any executive, were political partisans. These
censnres are, at least, premature. The officers
of the regular' army are in command there; men
who, on former occasions, have given incoirtesti-
ble proof of their valor, their devotion to the
country, and their capacity to conduct military op-
erations. 'rhrnugh at tins distance it would appeal'
that mere ougit ts have been done, yet we are not
acquainted wi h all the difficulties which they
may have rlad to encounter. Tire character
which they Ilirve established ought to be regarded
as a; pledge for their good conduct in the present
trial, and should at least shield them from censure
till all the facts are known; and if it shall then ap-
peat' that they have not done the best that could
be done, of wsrieh we have as yet io evidence, it
will not establish any chrarg.. against the volunteers
whio have obeyed the laws otthe country by plac-


ing themselves under their command. 'l'he regu-
lar army is otherwise provided for; this bill and
its ameinldment have reference only to the volun-
teer militia. Look at their character, andwe can-
not doubt their bravery nor their patriotism. The
southern volunteers have ever sustained the high
character ot'American soldiers. Their deep sense
of honor; their disregard of danger; their noble-
ness of soul in the camp; and theirclhivalry in the
field, are but their common characteristics; and
after volunteering their services to meet the first
shock of defensive war, we cannot presume that
they would prove recreant to every tring dear to
themselves. We know they ar:e incapable of it.
Theyhave unfluiled their country's banner, and
have marched under it to iedlendit from insult;
and thIe result imust show that they will have sus-
tainLed i is honor'. It is our part to provide tihe
means; to pAy threI tlhe pittance to which their
services entitled them, and they will 'not be spar-
ing of their blo(d in tihe day of battle. Let us
plass the bill, with the proposed amendment, with-
out a moment's 1h Ila ; and it will be time enough
tor uIs to complain after wo learn that there is cause
lor complaint. Till evidence appears to the con-
trary, let us not indulge a suspicion that an officer
bearing a commission in the A"-crican service, whe-
ther regular or militia, is ideficilmt either inl courage
or' condiuct. Complaints, in adivaicnre of evidence,

STAGNER'S PATENT TRUSS,
For the radical cure of Hm Oa, or Rvupture
f'aIHIS instrument has been found to effect
S- permanent cures in all cases, even in ..old
and inveterate ruptures, and is better calculated
to restrain obstinate protrusions than any other
truss known to the profession.
The subscriber being so filly convinced of the
importance of this invention, has purchased from
thie proprietor the privilege of introducing it'into
the practice of Surgery in the District of Colum-
bia, and invites those who sa'e subjects of Her-
nia to make trial of Stagner's Truss. HIe has per-
mission to refer to all the Physicians in the Dis-
trict of Columbia, and to many of the most emi-
nent and respectable Physicians in the United
States whose certificates are in his possession.
J. F. CALLAN,
opposite the Post Office.
The following testimonials are selected from among
a large. number which have been spontaneously
offered by distinguished members of the pro-
fession.
WILLIAM GIBSON, M. D. the able and dis-
tinguished Professor of Surgery in the University
of Pennsylvania, has spoken ofthis Truss in the
most favorable manner in a clinical lecture to his
pupils. After having spoken of the ordinary
Trusses now in use, which he observed, merely
palliated or prevented the further extension of the
disease, with the exception of some few cures
wnich had been effected in children, lie went on
to say, that although he was favorably impressed
with the invention, as he had said in a previous
lecture, he could not at that time form any certain
conclusion as to its merits, not having then ex-
amined any cases in which the instrument had
been applied; but since then he had examined
three cases, in which the most perfect cures had
been effected. He said one was a case of a gen-
tleman aged upwards of 60 years, who had been
laboring under Scotal Hernia nine years, on one
side as large as a cocoa nut; he had never obtained
any radical relief until Stagner's Truss was ap-
plied, which has to all- appearances, effected a
perfect cure. Another not so far advanced int
age, but whose case was equally intractable, who
had tried every species of Truss heretofore in use,
without even a palliation of the symptoms, as lie
found it impossible with them to keep his bowels
in their proper situation, who, by the application
of Stagner's Truss, has been radically cured, a
perfect cicatrization of the part having taken
place' And the third was that of a young man
who had been cured of Inguinal Hernia by the
same instrument.
Dr. Gibson then said: From these cases, from
the testimony of other gentlemen entitled to the
most profound respect, who have had ample op-
portunity of witnessing the cures effected by this
Truss; and from his former impressions with re-
spect to theindieations to be fulfiled in the treat-
ment of this terrible malady, he had the most fa-
vorable impression towards it, and had great
hopes that it will cause an entire revolution in
this department of Surgery."
Dr. McGLELLAN, Professor of Surgery in the
Jefferson Medical College, stated, in one of .s
lectures on Hernia, delivered the pre.;ent session,
that he considered the improvement of Stagner to
be an important contribution to the interests of hu-
manity. Several students in that College have
offered extracts from their note books, in which
they represent the Professor as saying, that he
considered this Truss to be the only one on which
he could depend in the way for a radical cure. He
stated that he had seen it effect speedy cures in
several cases, where every other conti-,vance hadt
tIai. etc.ui iff retratningtfthe-fleraiti teetit. lie
particularly mentioned the case of a gentleman
who had been for a long time troubled with an ob-
stinate Femtural Rupture, which he had never been
able to keep from descending, until he resorted to
Stagner's Trum.s; and although he was sa carele, s
as to lay aside the instrument in eight or nine days,
in const quence of an ulceration of the skin, tihe
Hernia never returned, and a firm inlduration and
closure was established in the course of the pas-
sage, under Poupart's Ligament.

Read and believe! This remedy has been used
by many eminent Physicians, some of whom bave
charge of tlhe largest hospitals in the United States,
where the cholera has prevailed to a great extent,

that they say they are not afraid of the most inve-

ARTRIDGE'S ORIGINAL LEATHER PRE-
RERVATIVE, or OIL BLACKING-a pa-
tent composition, or cleaning, nourishing, and
preserving weather; renewing; the color, rendering'
it soft, pliable, and elastic, and .when conipetely
filled, impenetrable by water, or water proof.
This composition is not only the best, but the
most convenient and cheapest article ever known,
for cleaning and preserving Chaise and Carriage
Tops, Thorough-Braces, and Harness. It reno-
vates and nourishes the leather, renders it soft and
elastic, renews the color and strength, and pre-
vents it from drying and cracking.
For boots and shoes it is invaluable. When al-
lowed to dry, it closes the pores of the leather,
renders them impenetrable by the wet, and keeps
them soft and comfortable to the feet.
For Factory Bands, it is peculiarly beneficial,
giving them an adhesiveness and elasticity that no
other substance will give.
It is also applicable to Engine Hose, Forge Bel-
lows, Travelling Trunks, and to all leather expos-
ed to the action of heat, cohl, or wet, and en-
tirely supersedes the use of oil.
-'EGCOMMSiNDATIONS.
Having made use of this composition for the
purposes above named, and finding it superior to
ax'y other article we have ever used, in its belig
not only more economical, but more beneficial in
its effects upon leather, we recommend it to the
public as a highly useful and important discovery.

The undersigned having made use of Par-
ti dge's Original Leather Preservative, and fully
tested its effects, cheerfully certify to the fact
that we have found itall that it purports to be.
We find one of its most essential and most de-
sirable properties to consist in its preserving Har-
ness, Chaise-Tops, &c. &c. exposed to wet and
muddy weather, from becoming hard and stiff,
and from tarnishing or changing their color; and
the circumstance that its effect is more durable
than oil, requiring also a less quantity and less fre-
quent application, renders it a much cheaper arti
cle. (Signed) Reuben Davis, Joseph Stone, Wil-

For a further recommendation of Partridge's
Leather Preservative, the proprietor refers to eve-
ry person who makes use of it. By many it is
said that "Leather will last nearly twice as long

S VOW IS THE TIME.-From the flatteringen-
couragement the proprietors have met with,
in the sale of their tickets, they have soine assur-
rances that they may have it in their power to
draw their lottery on the 15th day of August next.
VALUABLE REAL AND PERSONAL PRO.
PEr'tTY BY LOT TERY, :to be disposed of under
the superintendence of the Trustees appointed by
an act of the General Assemby of Maryland;
passed at December session 1834; to authorize
Henry Shafer George Shafer, and Henry I, S/a.
fer, to distribute their estate by lot.
This property is situated in the village of Funks.
town in Washington county, on the National Turn.*
pike Road leading tram Baltimore to Wheeling,
and distance two miles from Hagerstown, being in
the centre of one of the most populous, wealthy
and thriving counties in the State of Maryland.
TI he mills are upon the waters of the Antietam
and driven by said stream with ample water pow.
er, and which is very constant and uiever failing.
The advantages attached to the mills are number.
ous, being in one of the most productive counties
6f the State for wheat, and all kinds of grain, wool,
&c. &c. being distant only six miles from Wil-
liainsport on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and
near Hagerstown, (.with a turnpike, leading to
both places,) one of the best wh at markets in the
State ,where large quantities of grain finds its
market from Pennsylvania, &c. The proposed '
railroad contemplated from Chambersburgh, and
passing through Hagerstown to intersect the Bal-
timore and Ohio railroad at Weverton on the Po.
tomac, will pass very near to this place. There
is not much doubt but that the Antietam will be
mede navigable, so as to intersect the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal at the Antietam iron works; as
there is now a lock at this place, built by the Po-
tomac company, which will pa-s a boat from the
waters of the dam, to the wa'ers below.
The lots of ground are situated in and adjoining
Funkstown, being many of them valuable building
lots, and in a very high state' of cultivation.
The Mansion house is a large and commodious
dwelling house, celebrated for the flower and fruit
garden attached to it.
This property was valued by commissioners ap-
pointed by the Legislature. The. prizes in this
lottery are subject to no discount; the prizes that
may be drawn will be delivered after forty days
subsequent to the drawing, if demanded within
twelve months from its date.
The title to this property is unquestionable. A
plot of the real estate is deposited with the Trus-
te es.
The price of a ticket is but Ten Dollars.

pointed by the Legislature of Maryland.

whole 408 prizes, amounting to $80,310.
This Lottery will be drawn upon the plan of
the old Maryland Lotteries, under the direction of
the Trustees appointed by the Legislature.
In this Lottery, any one disposed to risk the
small sum of $10, may venture withoutt any scru-
ples. It is not a scheme of speculation, but sim-
ply to relieve the proprietors of the late Antietam
Wool n Factory which was destroyed by fire; and
the chances are as good if not better than in mo-
neyed Lotteries.
Who would not r'sk the sum of 10 for such val-
uable property? Nothing venture, nothing win-
delays are dangerous-send on the cash and you
shall have the prizes.
