TREACHERY OF TH11 INTELLIGENCE.
From day to day the National Intelligencer mis-
represents the. intentions of the Government in its
okt~i~ rwhjfii (iimif nt VaHfpole of

=T 4urOa" ai.onoring our coun-
try in the eyea,of foreign powers; and for the pur-
pose of furnishing, food to domestic party dissen-
tion, by mingling questions of foreign policy with
our political disputes. To accomplish all these
mischievous 'designs, the Intelligencer makes
elaborate efforts to prove that Gen. Gaines' move-
ment is connected with the question of boundary.
There never was a more fallacious or iniquitous
assumption. The boundary is to be settled by
the commission stipulated for in our treaty. Wh e-
ther the more western branch of the waters, dis
embogued into the sea by the river Sabine,
shall be established as the boundary, or the
more eastern branch which retains the name in the
higher latitudes, shall be held the true boundary,
is a matter of very little importance to the United
States. With boundless territory in the more tem-
perate latitudes, there is no motive to prompt our
Government to covet a little slipIof territory nearer
the heart of Texas, whether that country remains in
possession of Mexico, or becomes an independent
power. It would be only throwing our frontier far-
ther from protection, and more within the reach of
foreign aggression. The acquisition of this strip
of territory is not the object of the order of Gen.
Gaines. This is fully explained in the instructions
of the Secretary at War. The view with which
the temporary and contingent occupation of the
territory is authorized, is not; only justified by the
law .of nations, under the circumstances upon
which the order is predicated, but is expressly
provided for in the following article of the treaty
with Mexico:
ART. 33. It is likewise agreed that the two
contracting parties shall, by all the means in their
power, maintain peace and harmony among tlhe
several Indian nations who inhabit the lands ad-
jacent to the lines and rivers which form the
boundaries of the two countries; and the better to
attain this object, both parties bind themselves
expressly to restrain, by force, all hostilities and
incursions on the part of the Indian nations living
within theirrespective boundarie": so that the Unit-
ed States of America will not suffer their Inrdli.n to
attack the citizens of the United Mexican States,
nor the Indians inhabiting their territory; nor will
the Mexican States permit the Indians residing
within their territories to commit hostilities
against the citizens of the United States of Ame-
r'ca, nor against the Indians residing within the
limits of the United States, in any manner what-
ever."
If General Gaines conforms to his instructions,
this article is a full warrant for his procedure,under


the signature and the seal of Mexico itself.--"Both
parties bind themselves expressly to restrain, by force,
all hostilities and incursions on the part of the Indian
nations living within their respective boundaries,"
&c. &c. Mexico has now no force near Nacog-
doches to restrain the Indians in that quarter,
who are stated to have begun the'work of murder
and plunder. The people settled to the north
and east of Naccgdoches, particularly those on the
waters of the eastern branch of the Sabine, con-
sider themselves citizens of the United States.
General Gaines, it seems, understands that exter-
mination has been proclaimed by the Mexican
Generals, up to the Sabine. It may be the
policy, then, of the Mexican Government, in-
stead of doing all they can to "maintain
peace and harmony among the several Indian
nations who inhabit the lands adjacent to the lines
and rivers which form the boundaries of the two
countries," rather to let them loose, to carry exter-
mination up to the lines and rivers which form the
boundaries of the two countries. It may happen,
as those lines are not run, and as the Indians may
not possess sufficient science to settle the degrees
of latitude and longitude, (which, together wit
natural objects, are to fix our boundaries,) that
these savage hordes may, by mistake, include our
own infant settlements in their crusade of geo.
graphical extermination. At all events, Mexico
has no force there to restrain them, and if General
Gaines reports truly, that the Indians manifest a
disposition to commence hostilities, it is his duty,
under the treaty, to take a position to restrain
them.
Under a full knowledge that the American
administration has disavowed all intention to re-
tain a position in any portion of the territory

the work will soon be begun. Not only thz
Indians within the Mexican territory, but those
within the United States, wi!l pour down as of yore,
like the northern hordes of Europe, upon the de-
voted and inviting fields of the south. It may be the
policy of the Mexican authorities in this way to
relieve themselves of the troublesome struggle
in which they are engaged. But is it not
the duty of the Government of the United States
to fulfil the treaty, and restrain Indian hostilities,
whether directed against our own frontiers, or
those of Texas? It may not be the interest nor
the wish of Mexico that the clause of the treaty,
obliging this Government to prevent the Indians
on the north of Texas from'invading that country
and butchering the inhabitants, should be exe-
cuted; but it is the expressly stipulated duty
of this Government; and what the treaty re-
quires is enforced by all the obligations of hu-
manity towards the people of Texas, as well as
considerations .connected with the safety of our
own) frontiers. Mexico may have changed her
policy, but cannot change the treaty.

EXPUNGING RESOLUTION.
The Nashville Republican attempts to turA to
^Lbjtt et .e d. t g l ila-
tures of States containing swre than a majority of
the suffrages of the whole Union. This White
organ says:
"UNTIMELY DEATH.
"Departed this life, on the 30th June, the cele-
brated Expunging Resolution. Its untimely de-
cease was a severe blow to many dear and loving
friends and relatives. It left the world amid 'h1-
mentation, weeping, and great mourning.' It is
thought that this event will so seriously affect its
nearest and dearest friend, Col. Benton, that lie
will follow shortly himself."
"The decease" of the expunging resolution
would doubtless be a triumph to Judge White.
If he had truly represented the will of the people
of Tennessee, the resolution would have been
carried at the last session. It was ascertained,
however, that Judge White, by misrepresenting
his State, would just enable the opposition to
triumph in voting down a second time the propo-
sition to expunge. It was therefore concluded
by the republicans of the Senate, that they would
wait until Benjamin Watkins Leigh's place was
filled by a successor who would obey instructions,
and until the Senators of Michigan and Arkansas
should take their seats; when WHITE, and EwI G,
and SOUTHARD, and MANGUM, and TOMLIN5SON,
and BLACK, the contumacious Senators, together
with the whole body of their confederates, could
be voted down by a triumphant majority. This
will be done at the next session, and Judge White
will find, that his contempt for his constituents
will bring out from the people of Tennessee some
decisive manifestation of their approbation of the
measure which his Nashville organ would fain per-
suade them has been consigned to oblivion. The
majority of the present Legislature of Tennessee,
like Judge White, hypocritically secured their
seats by pretending friendship to the President.
Like the Judge, they will endeavor to make
the impression that the State would have the
brand of Clay's foul impeachment to remain upon
the first Chief Mag'istrate she g-ave to the Ui.ion:
but when the people speak again at the polls, they
will to-io r t.,.o that those sent to Nashvilie to re-
present them shall add the moral force of public
opinion in Tennessee to that of the other States
which have spoken their approval of Mr. Benton's
resolution, as a proper atonement for the wrong done
the chief officer of the Government, and the viola-
tion of the constitution by the prostituted bank
majority of the Senate.
We are not astonished, then, that Judge White's
Tennessee prints should labor to make the impres
sion that the expunging resolution had been resign
e' by its friends to a quiet and "untimely death." If
thus surrendered, it would relieve them greatly.
But we tell them that they will be passed trim.
phantly at the next session; that the vote which
Judge Wlhite, and the other Senators misrepresent-
ing their constituents, give against it, will put the
seal upon their fAlse professions of republicanism,
and will consign them to the grave to which they


would be most happy to give the President's fame
and the vindicatory resolution-a grave of infamy.
OPPOSITION HUMBUGS-TIIAT MR. VAN BUREN IS
A CATIIOLIC, AND RIDES IN AN ENGLISH COACH.
MR. VAN BUHEN'S ARISTOCRACY.-Among other
ridiculous and absurd stories, which the opposition
have invented, and put in circulation in relation
to Mr. Van Buren, the story about an English
carriage, English footmen, &c. is of a pieco with
that establishing his alliance with the Po:pe. The
story of the English carriage originated with the
veracious Noah, of Bank memory, and has been
repeated so often, and with so much apparent
seriousness, that many a credulous wig, no doubt,
really believes that Mr. Van Buren rides in an
English carriage, with English horses, English
fobtmen in English liveries, &c. &c. The story is
too ridiculous to be worthy of notice, but since it
has been so often repeated, and is really believed
by many Lading wigs, it may be well to state that
the whole is without the least foundation in truth.
We have a letter from a correspondent, who spent
the whole of last winter in Washington, and who
Shas long been personally acquainted with Mr.
Van Buren, and all his relatives in New York, and
whose statements can be implicitly relied upon.
He alludes to this ridiculous story, a:id says, "Mr.
Van Buren never ow:red an English carriage, or
English horses."--Dlaware paper.
NOTE BY EDITOR OF THE GL':nE.-The story
about the English carriage is one of the poorest ol
the fabrications of the opposition, and nothing car

For a more general development of Mr. Van
uren's.views as to Internal Improvements, we
efer to the following extracts of his letter to the
hocco committee:
"The opinions declared by the President in the
laysville and his succeeding annual message, as I
understand them, are as follows: 1st. That Con-
ress does not possess the power to make and es-
ablish a road or canal within a State, with a right
f jurisdiction to the extent I have stated; and
hat if it is the wish of the people that the con-
truction of such works should be undertaken by
he Federal Government, a previous amendment
f the Constitution conferring that power, and de-
ning and restricting its exercise, with reference
o the sovereignty of the State, is indispensable.
d. An intimation of his belief that the right to
lake appropriations in aid of such Internal Im-
prove ments as are of a national character, has
een so generally acted upon, and so long ac-
uiesced in by the Federal and State Govern-
ments, and the constituents of each, as to justify
As exercise; but that it is, nevertheless, highly ex-
pedient that even such appropriations shoull-
vith the exception of such as relate to light-
houses, beacons, buoys, public piers, and other
improvements in the harbors and navigable rivers
of the United States, for the security and facility
of our foreign commerce-be deferred, at least
mntil the national debt is paid. 3d. That if it be
.he wish of the people that the agency of the
Federal Government should be restricted to the
appropriation of money, and extended in that form
n aid of such undertakings, when carried on by
State authority, then the occasion, the manner, and
he extent of the appropriation, should be made
he subjects of Constitutional regulation.
"In these views I concurred, and I likewise par-


united and specified powers, and that none can'be
exercised under it but such as are expressly given,
Dr are fairly necessary and proper to carry speci-
led powers into effect. He repudiates most de-
cidedly the latitudinous construction habitually
riven by the -federal- party, and denounces the
Llien and Sedition laws as palpable violations of
lhe constitution. In the same speech, Mr. Van
Buren expresses the opinion that the Bank of the
United States was unconstitutional, anil that its
huarter by Congress was the first inroad made on
-hose doctrines of limited construction of the con.
titution, which had formed the distinctive feature
f discrimination between the Republican party
nd the Federalists. Mr. Van Buren has retained
d up to this time thI mIaI as to the con*
titutionalit of the bank. 'ht impossible, within
te limits of this address, (already so much ex-
ended,) to introduce extracts from this speech.
re will content ourselves with saying, that the
erusal of it will demonstrate Mr. Van Buren's
elrfect coincidence in opinion with the most en-
ghtened and republican statesmen of Virginia
; to the powers of the General Government$
id the rules by which it ought to be expounded.
Mr. Van Buren's supposed opinions on the
Iestions of the Tariff, and Internal Improvement
r the General Government, have subjected him
much censure, from a portion of the opposi-
on. It is to be presumed that the most numer-
is branch of that party do not disapprove the
pinions imputed to him by some of their coadju-
ts, because that branch were the supporters of
r. Adams, and voted tor Mr. Clay; and it isa nc-
rious fact, that during Mr. Adams's term of ser-
ie, a high tariff for protection, and internal im-
ovements by the General Government, upon the
ost extended and magnificent scale, was the set-
ed and declared policy of the administration.
It, in truth, Mr. Van Buren's olpnions upon both
ese subjects have been greatly misrepresented.
Gen. Jackson's messages to Congress, he re-
mmended "a modification of the Tariff which
would produce the reduction of the revenue ts
z wants of the Government, and the adjustment
the duties upon imports, with a view o eqiuaA
stice in relation to all our national interests, and
ay be injurious to those interests. 'l'1r. Van
aren's letter to a Commnittee appointed by, -
eeting ,at Shocco Springs, in North 'Carolina, in
october, 1832, he'thus expresses his opinions:
SThe Protective System, and its proper adjustment, became
subject of frequent and necessary consideration whilst I
med a part of the cabinet; and the manner in which the
resident proposed to carry into effect the policy in relation to
ports, recommended in his previous messages, has since
en avowed, with that frankness which belongs to his char.
er. To this end he recommended 'a modification ofthe
iff, which should produce a reduction of the revenue to the
nts of the Goveinment, and an adjustment of the duty upon
ports, with a view to equaljustice in relation to all our na-
nal interests, and the counteraction of foreign policy, so far
it may be injurious to those interests.'
' In these sentiments I fully concur; and I have been thus
plict in the statement of them, that there may be no room
misapprehension as to my own views upon the subject. A
cere and faithful application of these principles to our legis-
ion, unwarped by private interest or political design, a re-
iction of the wants of the Government to a'simple and eco-
nical administration of its affairs-the only administration
ich is consistent with'the purity and stability of the republi-
I system; a preference in encouragement, given to such
nutfactures as are essential to the national defence, and its
tension to others in proportion as ;hey are adapted to our
untry, and of which the raw material is produced by our-
ves; with a proper respect for the rule which demands that
taxes should be imposed in proportion to the ability and
edition of the contributors, would, I am convinced, give ul-
>ate satisfaction to a vast majority of the people of the
ited States, and to arrest that spirit of discontent, which is
iv unhappily prevalent, and which threatens such extensive
ury to the institutions of our country."
The compromise (as it is called) of the tariff
iestion, has adjusted -that subject, until the year
342. But this should be considered to be under
is limitation, that the money to be raised by it
all not exceed the wants of the Government,.
stricting those wants "to a simple and econom'-
I administration of its affairs."
If the sums to be raised under the tariff, as now
ljusted by law, should prove excessive; should
eatly exceed the wants of the Government, on
e seal just described, the people, it isbelieved,
ill not consent to pay unnecessary taxes, in the
ape of duties, merely t&6 accumulate surpluses in
e Treasury. If the tariff be'; kept within the
nits indicated by Mr. Van Buren, we do not
apprehend that it will be oppressive or danger-
is..
In relation to internal improvement, the only
implaint which has been miade'agaiust Mr. Van
iren, is, as to his vote on the Cumbert*id road
11. That road was sustained by Mr. Jefferson on
'ounds peculiar to it, growing'out of'the disposi-
n of the territory of the United Stites through
which it passed. But Mr. Van Buren has publicly
Lmitted that he regretted that vote, and, in
)int of fact, he has uniformly voted against such
improvements by the General Governmtnt ever
ice.
We call the attention of the people to the fol-
wing extract:
-', m._. '...i, i-.,, no necanrs certain-that in-this reSDec-a
sion after lie came into the Senate, the knowledge ofthe per-
tual drain that tle Cumberland road was destined to prove up-

.tly with the constitution, to aid in the improvement,and pro-
ote the posperity of the western country, had induced him,
without full examination, to vote for a provision authorizing the
election of toll on this road. The affair of the Cumberland
ad, in respect to its reference to the constitutional powers of

orized during the administration of Mr. Jefferson-grew out

THE DISPUTED ACT OF CONGRESS.

REMARKS OF MR. UNDERWOOD,
On directing the Secretary of War to place Bene-
dict ford and Robert Brush on the list of pen-
sioners.
Mr UNDERWOOD said that the case presented for consi-
deration by thie resolutions was one novel in its character, and
concerning which he was desirous to submit a few remarks.
It seems that the Speaker of this House, and the presiding
officer of the Sename, had regularly affixed their signatures to
an enrolled bill or act; that the same was presented to the
President of thie United States, who, on the 30th day of June,
183t, approved and signed it; and that the bill or act thus au-
theinticated, was filed and recorded in the office of the Secretary
of State. This act provides lfor the payment of pensions to
Benedict Altbford and Robert Brush, and has been duly published
among the acts of the first session of the 23d Congress. But
the Secretary of War has 'refused to execute it, upon the
ground that the Senate of the United States did not pass the
bill. 'iThe journal of the Senate states that the bill was inde-
finitely postponed.
I thine, Mr. Speaker, it was the duty of the Secretary to exe-
cute the act. 1 think he was bound to regard it as a part of
the laws of thie land, and, as such, to respect and obey it. lie, no
doubt, equally conscientious, (fbr certainly there is here no cause
for irnputiug to him a bad motive,) believes that he has autho-
rity to look beyondd the act as enrolled, signed, approved, filed,
and recorded in the office of State, into the journals of the two
Houses, and to decide upon what hlie may there find, that the
act in Ouesuion is null and void; because those journals, or one
of then, satisfies his mind that the act was never passed accoid-
ing to the requirements of thie Constitution.
1 a'k, sir, where does the'Secretary of War, a mere execu-
tive officer, findlhir authority for overhauling the journals of
the two Houses, the enrolled bill as signed by the presiding of-
ficers, as approved by the President, and as recorded in the
:Sare D)epartment, and, upon his examination, in effect to de-
clare void a statute, published to the nation, and sanctioned by
all th, slaerninies prescribed for manitesting to the People the
laws they are to obey? Such authority has not been confer-
red by acy express provision of the Constitmion, or by ary
statute; and if it exists, it is the creature of inference, a deduc
tion merely from the known and admitted principles and pro-
visions oftha Cajsstitution and laws. From whatpart of the
Constitution, from what statute, wii! you deduce such authori-
ty for an executive officer?
Tac 5th secron of thel st article of the Constitution requires
"each House to keep a journal of its proceedings, and from
tinmie to time to publish the same, excepting such parts as may,
in their-j idgment, require secrecy." I admit the obligation on
I're part of Congress to comply with this mandate; but suppose
it is notudone, will it follow as a consequence from such omis-
sion, that executive officers are thereby justified in refusing to
obey the statutes which are promulgated'? Can they legitimate-
ly refuse obedience, because they do not see all the steps taken
by each House in the passage of the bill, set out at length in a
pablishedjournal? If it had been the intention of the Conven-
tion to make the obligatory force of a statute depend upon the
publication oftticjournal, and upon exhiliiiin o inthe- lice of
the journal as published a fltfilmnent, of every c.stitiliional re-
quisite or injunction, such intention, most certainly, would
have been expressed in clear and explicit language. The
Convention would not have left a matter of such impor-
tance to rest entirely upon inference. The fact that
that there is no express constitutional provision making the
validity of an act of Congress depend upon the journals of
the two Houses and their contents, is to my mind conclu-
sive, and proves that the journals and statutes are not so
connected as to make an examination of the journals nie-
cessary, in order to decide upon the obligatory force of tihe
statute. This truth is also manifest from the express lan-
guage of the Constitution. The journals are to be published
"from time to time." How often, at what intervals? Here is
discretion granted. Congress may publish them annually,
biennially, or monthly. If the obligatiQn of a statute depended
upon the contents of the journals, their publication shoul.l pre-
cede, or at least accompany, the promulgation of the statute, so
that the citizens and officers of Government might be furnished
with means of determining whether the statute imposed any
obligation. Congress may suppress the publication of tihe
journals. Thie Constitution expressly confers authority to do
so, in regard to so much as may, in the judgment of Congress,
'require secrecy." In the exercise of their judgment, Con-
gress might think all their proceedings in reference to this or
that subject required secrecy. They might give to the nation
the result of their deliberations in the form of a statute, and
withhold a knowledge of every previous step. In such a case
it would be preposterous to resist the obligation of the statute,
because the Public could not see that the steps taken by Con-
gress in its passage were regular and constitutional.
I have submitted these remarks for the purpose of maintain-
ing the position that the nation is not to determine what is or is
not law, by an examination of the journals of the two Houses
I will endeavor to show, in the setluel, that the validity of a
statute cannot be overturned and nullified by arraying the con
tents of thejournals against it.
All civilized nations must necessarily provide some mode of
making known the la,,vs which are to be enforced. They must
also provide some mode by which their officers and their citi-
zens can produce the law, and justify their conduct under it,
whenever and wherever their conduct may be questioned be-
fore the judicial tribunals of the country. This may be done in
various-vays. In Governments like ours, based upon written
constitutions, paramount to ordinary legislation, the mode may
be prescribed in the constitution itself; and, it so, then it is
placed beyond the control of thie legislature. The constitution
of the United States does not purport to regulate and fix the
precise mode by which the laws are to be made known and
authenticated, and yet it is not altogether silent on the subject.
So-far as-it does speak, it is to be regarded; but where it makes
no provision, the subject is left under the control of ordinary
legislation. It may be safely affirmed that the constitution no-
where provides that an extract from the journal, or the produc-
tion of the original, shall be evidence of what the law is. It is
very clear that, unless the journals contain the provisions of a
statute, their production would give no light on the question ol
what is or is not law. The journals purport, and do give a his-
tory of tile action of Congress upon certain bills, by their titles,
and are legitimate, but not conclusive evidence to show these
bills were passed, or rejected, or postponed by Congress. But
such a history affords no information as no the contents of the
bill passed or rejected 1; antd when you desire to know what thie
law for exau-,)l% f ,you wish to kno.v how much tax has
besnr imposed, a rl upon what articles levied, you must
look elsewhere than im the journal to find it. The
constitution might have required that every statute
should be regismered at large upon the journals, and
that copies thI refrom, certified by the Clerk of either House:
should be evidence of what the law is. But it has made n(
much provisioi, aid, in the absence of all constitutional regu
lation, it was courm!etent fbr Congress to take up the subject
and to fix the mole of making known and arithenticating the law,
of the country. Congress has done this, and it becomes rmpor
tant to consider, for a itmonment, how it has been done. It war
done by one o-f the earliest acts of Congress, under the Consti
tution. The act was approved on the 15th of September, 1789
and may be regarded as the cotemporaweous exposirion of th<
Constitutions far as to show that that i iitrurnanLnL.sion taee
hibit Congres fro ,at7.^fpiseKSd LIIa L unre .on
stiUltion, as then understood, did not contain such provisions a:
rendered legislation unnecessary.
The act of 1789, in substance, provides that the Secretary o
State shall preserve the original bills, resolutions, &c. an(
cause the same to be recorded in his office. The Secretary o
State is required, as soon as conveniently may be2" after hi
receives the bills amd resolutions, to cause the same to be pub
wished in newspapers, and to cause one prinnted copy to be de
livered to each Senator arid Representative, and two prinree


copies, duly authenticated, to be sent to the Executive author
ity of each State." Here is the mode prescribed for publishing
your laws, and here, sir, is the place where you are to fint
what the law is. The act provides ior making up a record o
the laws in the Secretary's office, and then it provides for
seal, and then declares that "all copies ofrecords and paper
in the said office, authenticated under the said seal, shall b
evidence equally as thie original record or paper." Now, th
true question is, when the record is made up i thie State De
partnnent, in pursuance of the act of 1789, can you impeacl
its absolute verity, by opposing to It the journals of either o
both Houses of Congress ; and, if this can be done, what tribu
nal is authorized to do it ? Is the Secretary of War authorized
to sit in judgment ?-
I contend that the judicial tribunals of the nation (and it i
their province to settle what is, and is not, law) ought not, and
would no( permit an authentic transcript, under the seal o
the Secretary of State, to be impeached, by bringing it in con-
flict with the journals. How are you to make tip the issue
Is it one of fact, to be tried by a jury, or is it purely a question
of law, to be set led by the Court? Certainly it is a question c
law, to be tried by the Court. And how tried? I have neve
leard of any other way in which to try such a question, bu
upon the face of the record. I know, sir, that the laws of a fo
reign state may be proved as matters of fact. But the laws c
thisnation are not to be proved in that manner. Our judge
arejudicially bound to notice them; and when, and how, ar
the to be informed? Must they not take the record as certi
field under the seal of State as conclusive? Or shall they re
ect it, because they may find in tihe journals'of Congress some
thing t d'induce a suspicion or conviction that the record i
the office ol State was erroneously made up? They could ns
regard the journal, because neither the Constitution ner an
act of Congress provides how it shall be authenticated. Th
clerks who keep the journals have no seals of office under
which to verify transcripts from them, anid there is no act
Congress making such-transcripts evidence. In this state(
things,-the Judiciary would be bound to decide the law upo
the evidence furnished in pursuance of the act of 1789. Ca
the Secretary of War go beyon'l tie iJudiciary? Cani he, in con
junction with the Clerk of either House, or alone, bring th
journal in conflict with the record of the State Department! T
ask the question is enough. -
The Constitution provides that all revenue bills shall orig
nate in this House. Suppose a revenue bill is duly signed b
the Speaker and President of thie Senate, approved by th
President of the United States, and recorded in the State De
ar:ment, will the marshal, or collector of the tax, be justifie
.In refusing to obey it, if he can find an entry on the journal (
the Sonate, that the bill originated theree! Or if he should se
such an entry, ought he not rather to say, the Clerk has mad
it throug-h mistake; Senators are presu mAed to be acquainte
with their constitutional powers, anid it cannot be believedthi
any "Senator, or committee of the Senate, would have ii
produced auch a bill, or that the Senate would have ente:
tamined or considered t7? In such a case the presumption :
rquchl stronger that the Clerk has, through mistake, niade thi
0.purnal speak an improper language, than that the Senate ha
Violated the Constitution, hy originating a bill they had n
nower to originate.


Nhe reside4 hesen'rtrs, Ihe er of the oNd<
President of the Senate are to sign acn bill wnh is
passed, and they are to do it "in their respective Houses"-
not at their lodgings, but publicly, in the presence of those
who enact the laws. When all this is done, the Commit-
tee of Enrolments arc directed to present the bill to the
President fbr his appiobation. How is he to dispose of it'
Tiht Constitution says, if he approve, he shall sign it, but it
not, lie shall return it with his objections to that House in
which it shall have originated." The President did approve
and sign the bill for the benefit of Alford and Brush, and, hav-
mIng done so, he performed all the Constitution required of him,
except taking care to have it faithfully executed. The Con-
stitution does not direct what the President shall do with the
enrolled bill after he has signed it. It does direct him to send
it back with his objections to the House in which it originated,
if he will not approve and sign; and, by the joint rules, hlie is to
be informed in which House the bill originated, by a certificate
of the Clerk endorsed on the bill. But where he approves and
signs, how is the bill to be preserved, and how is the law to be
made known'! The Constitution furnishes no answer, but the
act of 1789 gives one. That act requires the Secretary of State
to receive it from the President, and to proceed with it by re-
cording anrd publishing in the mannerI have mentioned. This
act also provides, in substance, that if a bill shall be passed by
two-thirds of both Houses of Congress, notwithstanding the ob-
jections of the President to the contrary, the Secretary of State
shall receive such bill "from the President of the Senate or the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, in whichsoever
House it shall last have been approved," and proceed to record
and publish the same, as hie would if the President had approv-
ed and signed it. Thus, sir, you perceive that it requires the
union of tlhe provisions of the Constitution, an act of Congress,
and the rules of the two Houses, to complete and carry out the
work of legislation in all its parts, and to make it known to the
People. You also perceive the safeguards which the system
furnishes to detect error and prevent mistakes. I contend,
when a bill passes through the ordeal provided by this system,
and is recorded in the police of the Secretary of State, it there
becomes a record of what the law is, and, as such, is to be veri-
fied under the seal, and cannot be controverted by opposing to
it the manuscript or printed journal, or the oral testimony ol the
clerks of the two Houses, or of any man.
1 do not mean to assert that the guards are so numerous that
there is no possibility of mistake, and that a bill, which never
passed both Houses, could not possibly meet with the appro-
val of the President, and find its way to the record in the State
Department. I mean no such thing; for I well know that all
human transactions proceed from imperfect t.eings, prone to
err and liable to mistake, and therefore I admit the possibility,
or, if you choose, the probability, in the present case, of the
existence of a mistake. It may be that the bill for the benefit
of tAlford and Brush never did pass both Houses; and unless iL
did, it is not law. But the fact of iLs having been signed by the
presiding officers, approved and signed by the President, exam-
ined by the Committee of Enrolments, and by them presented
to the President, and recorded in the Secretary's office, are evi-
dence that the bill did pass both Houses; and all that can be
urged against it, to the contrary, is the statement in the journal
of the Senate, that it was indefinitely postponed. If there be
conflicting evidence, which shall prevail'? Certainly that which
is recognised by law and made evidence by express provision.
Such is the evidence to be derived from the records in the
State Department,whereas the evidence derived from the journal
has no validityimparted to it, either by the Constitution or b)
any statute, nor is there any mode provided for obtaining the
evidence thejournal may furnish when wanted.
In the, nature of things, there is no more reason for confiding
-in the s mtar .ms -of tjow-na-, than in the ae wof the pre-
siding officers of the two Houses and the Committee of Enrol-
ments. Their acts declare that the bill did pass. The signing of
bills by the presiding officers is a very solemn act: all other
business is suspended; the title of the bill or act, about to be
signed, is distinctly read aloud in the presence of each
House, and if it never had passed, any member might rise and
make the question. Here is opportunity to correct and detect
mistakes. Who can say that the agents engaged in this work
are more liable to blunder and mistake than the Clerk who
makes up the journal Has it come to this, that we are to as-
certain whether an act published in the statute book is or is not
law, by entering into the inquiry, or rather by allowing an Ex-
ecutive obicer to go into there inquiry, whether the presiding
officers of the two Houses, or their clerks, are most-liable to
make mistakes'? In postponing bills indefinitely, theClerk may
mistake the title of a bill which was passed lor that which was
postponed, and make his entry accordingly on the journal.
The mistake may escape detection; and if it should, according
to the practical doctrine of the Secretary of War, then the
mistake of the Clerk would actually nullify an act of Congress.
Suppose the manuscript or printed journal should state that a
c,.rtain bill was indefinitely postponed, when a member of
Congress, paying particular attention to the subject of that bill
remembered distinctly, and was willing to swear, that the bill
was duly passed and approved and regularly signed by the
Speaker: would not the affidavit of the member be as satisfac-
tory evidence in favor of the law as the journal would be
against it? I state this case to show the absurdity of departing
From the record evidence of what the law is, as furnished in the
Department of State, and adopting other tests heretofore un-
known.
The journal of the last day of the session is not read by the
Clerk in the presence of the members of Congress, and they
have no opportunly to correct any mistake which, in the hur-
ry of business, may be committed by the Clerk.
It may be said that the Censtitution gives force and effect to
the journals, and makes them equivalent to records, and im-
parts to them the intrinsic verity of records. That the Consti-
ution intended the journals of each House to be evidence lor
some purpose,, no one can deny; but that the Constitution de-
signed to make the journals the highest and best evidence, and
the fountain whence you must draw your information to decide
questions like this belbre us, I deny. The act ot 1789 is uncon-
stitutional, if the journals alone are to be consulted in order to
ascertain what the law is; for that act provides a different
mode, which could not be done if the Constitution prescribed
the mode. Why, then, did the Constitution require journals tc
be kept and published 1 answer, that the leading object, it
not the only one, was, to lay before the People the conduct of
their representatives, and to exhibit their legislative history
The great value of tie journals consists in the yeas and nays.
The People in a representative Government have a right-s
right of all Others the most valuable-to control their represent
tatives, to dismiss them whenever their course is disapproved
and to select others to manage their aflkirs. The People cannot
bring their represent atives to a settlement without keeping ar
account against them. The journal contains the account; th(
yeas and nays exhibit the items for and against each represent
tative; and the publication of the journal enables the citizen
t voter, who is the judge for the occasion, to sum up the items
and balance the a count. The representative is accountable to
his constituents. The requirements of the Constitution, in re
s gard to the journal, were intended to secure and enforce a prac
t tical responsibility on the part of the representative. In thief
: view, the yeas and nays on propositions which never become
e laws, are as important as on those which pass.
If the President objects to the passage of a bill, and refuses t
sign it, he is required to return it, with his objections, to tha
IHouse in which it originated. In such case the Constitution di
rects that his objections (not the contents of the bill) shall be en
n tered at large on the journaland that thie vote on reconsideratiou
s shall be taken by yeas and nays. In such a case, it may be con
tended that the C'onsiitumion designed to make the journal evi
s deuce of the maw. Not so. The conteutsof the bill should ap
pear on the journal, if we are to look in it to find the law. Th
Constitution does not require that. But as the exercise of" th
e veto power places the President and the two .'.'- ,
-- i twwiwfMTr Tsr i.io and .n-i e principles invo0v
ed in such cases will generally he of thb first importance, th
s Constitution requies that the political issue between the Presi
dent and Congress should be fairly made up and presented, s
f that the tryers, the voters of the country, may have the cas
I fully stated when they come to sit in judgment. Such was th
f great object of the Convention in those constitutional provision
e which relate to the objections of the President and the yeas an


- nays on reconsideration.
The question before us derives additional importance at th
d present time, from the doctrines started on the subject of ex
Spunging. What will be the consequences of establishing th
g right tU expunge, and justifying the conduct of the Secretary
dI War in this case? The most fearful and corrupt results ma
f en-de. A servile Senate, forgetful of the motives and reason
a which induced the fathers of the Constitution to institute their
s body, lost to every sense of personal dignity and sell.respec
e either individually or in the aggregate, and fitted by degrad:
e tion to offer the incense of flattery to the nostrils of power, s
- that thrift may follow fawning," can, by uniting the doctrine
I of expunging with the practice of the Secretary, construct a
r engine of Executive despotism strong enough to crush the 1
- berties of this country. When a President wants a pretext ul
A on which to refuse the execution of a law or a treaty, he hm
nothing to do but to set his minions to work, and to have t.
s journal showing the vote on its passage, or the advice and con
d sent of the Senate in treaty cases, expunged, and then, sir, h
I may say there is no law, there is no treaty, and set up bfor hin
Sell.
S It may be asked whether there is no remedy in case a bil
n through mistake, should be signed by the presiding officers
i1 each House, approved by the President, and find its way to itr
r records in thie State Department? There is a remedy. It is, t
It' repeal the act. Congress must apply the remedy, and, in de
-" hiding upon the propriety of a repeal, it is a legitimate inquiry
?f whether or not any mistake was committed in the passage o
s the bill. Upon such inquiry, the journals may be received i

By the packet ship Poland, from Havre, arrived
this morning ', we have received our Paris journals
to the 1st July, from which we extract the follow-
ing:
The King had been urged, since the attempt of
Alibeau, to establish a body-guard, but would not
listen to it, saying that bayonets had not been
wanting, and that he would rather expose his life
than submit to such servitude. His Mlajesty had
addressed the following- letter to the archbishops
and bishops of France:
"REVEREND Sin: A new attempt has just
threatened my life. Providence has preserved it.
My gratitude is raised toward Him who has cover-
ed with his powerful hand a life entirely devoted
to the welfare of France. I have the firm con
eviction that their persevering protection will a'd
me in maintaining in my country peace and res-
pect for religion, order and law. My intention
is, that a solemn Te Deum and thanksgivings
should be celebrated in all the churches of you'
diocese. "LOUIS PIILIPPE."
PARIS, 27th June, 1836.
Alibeau had attempted suicide. Galignani's
Messenger gives the following account of it.
One of his keepers having gone out for a mo-
ment to get some tobacco to chew, he requested
the other, who was with him, to go and hasten his
return. The latter had scarcely turned his back,
when the prisoner attempted twice to dash out
his brains against the wall; but the keeper
was too quick for him, and seized him by
the clothes, Faying, "Ah! my fine fellow! You
wish to p!ay me a trick, which would have
been the ruin of me!" Alibeau at first endea
vored to turn it off as a joke, but afterward ac-
knowlhdged his real intention, asserting that it
was not for want of courage that he attempted his
life, but that he had become disgusted with his
present state of existence, and wished to save him.
self from eight more wearisome days. He is at
times prodigal of his expressions. One of them
is-," My name begins with the first letter of the
alphabet, and the king has yet to fear all the rest
of the letters." Another is-" N whatever may
be my fate, my name will be known through all
Europe, and my devotion of myself honored by all
true patriots."
Advices from Madrid, of the 23d June, speak
of an arrangement about to be entered into by a
reunion of the grandees, to guarantee a loan
Should this fail, it is said the Queen will pledge
the royal domain.
A letter from Smyrna, dated June 3d, publish-
ed in the Journal du Commerce of the 30th, con-
tains alarming accounts from Greece. The king-
dom is said to be swarming with small bands, as-
sembled under native chiefs conspicuous for their
dislike of the Bavarians. The writer even says
that King Otho is not expected to return, and that
the monarchy is on the eve of falling to pieces.
We have but little confidence in these reports.
It was rumored in Par.s on the 30th that the
Sultan of Turkey had consented to dismiss the
Sreis-effendi, on the demand of Lord Ponsonby.

of the Carlists, recently appointed on account of
the feeble health of Eguia, and himst lf tendered

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
No further movements towards the prosecution
of the war against Texas will probably be made
before fall. The last accounts from Tampico re-
r present that city as perfectly quiet-no armed
force was there, and no disposition made towards
I raising one. The U. States sloop of war 'Warren'
.and schr. 'Grampus' had arrived at Tampi.
I co-and the Mexican Government had, through
I the newly appointed commandant, apologised tc
) this Government for the .insult offered the Ame.

c of both parties are exerting themselves to re -es
M tablish the constitution of 1824, revised by a Ns
' tional Convention. Tore, the commandant c
r Yucatan, has been deprived of his authority, on a(
t count of his attachment to Sante Anna. Gener:
o Ftlipe Codallos has been named in his stead; and
es is supposed that Ciriaco Vasquez, commandant
n Vera Cruz, will share the same fate for like rea

MEXICO.
The following letter was written to Vincente Fi-
lisola, General-in-chief of the Mexican armies, by
Jose Maria Tornel, Secretary of the War Depart-
ment. We publish it through the liberality of a
respectable firmnofhis city, by whom it was corn
municated: ;
To His Excellency Ike General-in chief,
DOIT VIreCNTs FILISOLA:
DfEA. FliEND: Through the criminal apathy of
Congress and the;complete nullity of Government,
it becomes necesiry to put in use a certain strata.
em to save our country and ourselves. You will
ave to lend a hand to its execution, unless you
want to perish with your army, after witnessing
the utter destruction of the Republic, Such is
the boldness of olr revolutionary radical, and the
weakness of Government, that from this time up
to the moment wmen you adopt this plan, you will
neither receive money or soldiers; you must, ere
now, be convinced of the truth of the first point;
as to the second,'a more positive proof cannot be
given than the sudden halt of the army of reserve.
Such, then, is the proper method of executing my
plan: all opinions must be generalized; above all,
a letter must be written to the Government of this
capital, mentioning very particularly that all the
army want a Dictator to be appointed, who will
remain in office until Texas be restored to the re-
public. Who willbe the man? No matter; per-
haps Valencia, for he is at the same time the hope
and fear of many.
Thiis idea is nit so much to put the plan into
execution, as to get a powerless Congress to invest
the Government with all power to restrain the
revolutionary spirits, and enlist new soldiers to
carry on the war and maintain good order. I
have said enough; reflect on my words; you will
fully appreciate how timely is this measure. No
time is to be lost; and, mark me, keep carefully or
tear this letter, written by a friend on whom you
can rely. JOSE MARIA TORNEL.
This plan is JPstified by a pamphlet now circu-
lating through iexico and all the large cities of
the Mexican Republic. It is entitled, "General
Santa Anna's Tr,4" That document is the ex-
clusive production of the Liberas, and is well
calculated to raiiE every honest mind against the
Government. they want federalism-Tornel
does not want it, and therefore he would like to
get a Dictator appointed, whose power would be
sufficient to suppress those he styles revolutionary
spirits.

A letter from highly respectable source, dated
at Mptamoras the 29th ult., says: "It is an unoubted
fact that this Government (the Mexican) have
made, or are making a treaty to engage eight thou-
sand Indians to join them. Tke Cherokees are al-
ready engaged. There are fourteen or fifteen
ChiLfs of different tribes within a few miles of
here, who have d~ly communications with the of-
ficers. The commissioners were this morning
turned ilto the common prison with criminals. It
is not improbable that we shall be invited to take
SFrench leave of this country sooa."-N-ew Orleaw

The report of the late trial of Lord Melbourne
copied from the London papers into several in t


the Alapaha, supposed to be Creeks, on their

way to the Ocafinokee or to join the Seminoles.
Fif'teeen of them were killed and twenty captur-
ed, seven or eight whites wounded, the whites
still in pursuit of them. The day before 18 Indi-
ans were fallen in with; 15 of them were k-.led
and three escaped by swimming the river; three
whites killed. So you see we have Indians all
around us.
"Yours, respectfully,
11"B F. WHITNER."
"Col. Whitner had this letter written for you,
sir, and on the night of the 19th, his family fortu
nately being on a visit at Mr. J. C. McGhee's,
with the exception of one son, the Indians assailed
his house and committed most awful depredations.
There were two white men there-, the overseer,
who was ill in bed, and a young man by the name
of Summerale. Summerale with Col. W.'s little
son were at supper in the back piazza, when a
negro in the passage exclaimed, "the Indians!"
He sprang from the table, seized a double-bar-
relled gun, and marched in front of the house; he
saw Indians to the number of thirty, and discharg-
ed both barrels at them; the Indians returned it
with a volley-he was wounded in both thighs,
but not dangerously; he then made his escape
round the house to the back of the garden. His
determination and bravery enabled Col. W.'s son,
the overseer, and negroes, all to make their es-
cape. They lay all night in the high growing
cotton, with the exception of one negro man; they
shot him with five balls. They then rifled the
house of every article, ripping open the beds,
emptying out the feathers, and making sacks of
the ticks to carry off their plunder-all wearing
apparel gone, even the clothes wet in the wash
tub. They were trailed, but have made their es-
cape, and it is supposed will come back in in-
creased numbers. Help must come soon, or it ill
be too late for Hickstown. The females are flee-
ing in every direction, leaving their husbands to
defend their plantations.
The Indians came to Mr. McGhee's on the
n;ght of the 1st, and stole a pair of carriage horses
from his stable. We have been too long neglect-
ed. A FEMALE.
The Indians also stole nine mules and a horse
from Col. Whitner.

Snt: In obedience to your instructions to evacu-
ate the post of Fort Drane, if the commanding offi
cer, in exercising a sound discretion, should deem
it necessary, I have the honor to report that the
commanding officer, Captain Merchant, of the 2d
regiment of artillery, in consequence of the large
and increasing sick report, determined to remove
the troops to this place. The movement corn.
menced this day at eight o'clock, consisting ol
twenty-two wagons, loadt-d with commissary and
quartermaster' stores, with ani escort of a detach
meant of twenty-six dragoons of the 2d reg ment,
under the command of Captain Ashby, and thirty
six men detailed from the different artillery com
panics at the post; also a five and a half inch how
itzer, under the charge of Lieutenant Whitly, 2J
f artillery, making a force of 62 men. On our ar
rival at the Wc-li-ka Pond, within one mile of thi:
place, the discharge of several rifles apprised uE
of the presence of the enemy. Captain Ashbyim
Smediately went with his dragoons in the direction
from which the fire was delivered, and scoured th(
neighboring hammocks, without finding the enemy

D. A. SMALLEY, ?
1L. H. NUTTING, 5


From the Burlington (Vt.) Sentinel. ti
The 4th Congressional District was fully repre- ri
sented in the Convention holden at Cambridge on e
Tuesday la-3t. More than one hundred delegates f
were in attendance, all animated by the flattering v
prospect, every where presented, of the speedy li
political regeneration of Vermont. It will be seen f
that CORNELIUS P. VAN NESS, late Minister n
to Spain, whom the people have delighted to t
honor, and who has conferred honor upon the S
State, was put in nomination as a candidate to rep- t
resent this District in Congress. Mr. VAN NEss
is so well known, and his eminent talents and pub- 1
lic services are so justly appreciated by the peo- b
pie of this State, that any eulogy would be suptr- s
fluous; and unless the freemen of this district are s
blind to their own interests, and utterly regardless t
of the honor of the State, they will come up to his p
support, and secure his services in the National v
Legislature. The enthusiasm with which his no-
mination is received by his political friends, arind
the panic it has created among his foes, assure tus
that he will be powerfully sustained.
There is no ooubt that Mr. VAw NEss will soon
return to the United States, and it is not improba- s
ble that he is now on his way hither. His bag-
gage arrived in New York some da)s ago, togeth-f
er with two servants who went out with him from
this place, and who arrived here on Wednesday
evening. We are thus particular in stating" these
facts, because outr opponents will attempt to ex-
cite the belief that Mr. Van Ness is not about re-
turning. But in addition to these circumstances,
we have satisfactory assurances that he would, at '
all events, leave Spain as soon as lie heard of the
sailing of Mr. Eaton, the newly appointed Minis-
ter, and perhaps sooner.
Let, then, the numerous friends of this gentle-
man rely upon it that he is coming home, and act
with the vigor which the crisis demands.

FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CON-
VENTION.
A large number of delegates from the several
towns in the counties of Franklin, Orleaa, Grand-
Isle, and Chittenden, comprising the 4th Congres-
sional district, assembled at Cambridge, on the
26th inst. The convention was called to order by
Danforth Mott, and, on motion, Roger Enos, ot
Irasburg, was appointed chairman, and D. A.
SSmalley and L. H. Nutting, secretaries.
S On motion, a committee, consisting of one dele-
gate from each town represented, was appointed
r to present to the convention a suitable candidate
- to represent this district in Congress.
The convention adjourneduntil the report of the
committee should be received. The convention
met, and Judge Chittenden, chairman of the com-
mittee, reported the name of CORNELIUS P.
VAN NESS; which report was accepted, and af-
ter remarks by several gentlemen, the nomination
was confirmed by the convention.
On motion, a committee of three, consisting of
SNahum Stone, H. RI. Beardsley, ai.d D. A. Smal-
Sley, was appointed to draft resolutions expressive
Sof the sense of the convention, and to prepare an
f address to the freemen of the 4th Congressional
I district.
The above named committee reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolved, That the eminent talents and patriotic
Services of MARTIN VAN BURN and RICH-
SARD M. JOHNSON, entitle them to the confi
I dence and cordial support of the great Democratic
Party of the Union, and that we will use all fair
S and honorable exertions to secure their election
Sto the offices for which they have been put in no-
Smination.
n Resolved, That the superior capacity, extensive
e information, and unbending integrity of CORNE-
SLIUS P. VAN NESS, and the able and faithful
i- manner in which n? has discharged the dutties that
have devolved upon h;m in the high and responsi-
Y ble offices hie has filled, under the State and Gene-
ral Governments, entitle him to the support of the
1 Democratic freemen of this District, for a Repre-
et sentative in Congress
Resolved, theorefore, That we pledge ourselves to
t make use of all fair and honorable means to en-
d sure his election.
e Resolved, That in the language of the venerable
Sand beloved President of thie Unite. States, '"a
constitutional right to apply, and a necessity for
such application, are the true sources and limits
of the power to tax. When the taxes produce
e more money than can be rightfully applied, the
g appropriate remedy is reduction or repeal. To
,' continue a tax without necessity, and for the sake
of distribution, is to subvert the principles of the
Constitution, and must end in destroying the liber-
," ties of the people."
n Resolved, That we cordially approve of the nomi-
nations made by the late State Convention at

t electimm ofthe sever-,l candidates there presented
n for the sufft'ajes of the people.
a 1 nre iollowmg resolutions were introduced and
a- adopted:
f liesolved, That the thanks of this Convention be
tt presented to the Chairman and Secretaries, for the
n able manner in which they have discharged their
respect ive duties.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this Conven-
s, tion be signed by the President and Secretaries,

From the Jonesborough ( Ten. ) Sentinel.
VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT OF TIlE UNI- t
TED S'ITATES. t
At an early hour on Monday morning, the vai- s
ous roads leading into town wvcre thronged with
people on horseback, and the favorable indications
ot a fine day gave promise of asn unusually large
concourse of citizens from the neighboring towns
and country. At eight o'clock, a very large par-
ty of gentlemen, mounted upon fine horses, and
arranged in military order by Col. Willet (MNlarshal
of thIe day) and his assistants, left town to meet
the President, having learned that he had sojourn-
ed the night previous with his old friend, Mr.
Gammon of Sullivan county, and would start for
Jonesborough after breakfast. At the distance of
seven or eight miles from the town, the proces-
sion met the President, accompanied by his Secre-
tary, (Major Donelson,) and a number of the citi-
zens of Blountville and vicinity. He was on horse-
back, and seemed in fine health and spirits. The
horsemen took open order on the right and left of
the road, and when the President had reached the
most central position, Mr. Kennedy advanced to-
wards him, and in conformity with the appoint-
ment by the meeting of Saturday, delivered to him
a brief, but feeling and eloquent address, of which

we have been politely furnished with the follow-
ing sketch:
"General AnDRSW JACKSON,
President of the United States:
"SiT: On behalf of many of the citizens- of
Washington county, I have been deputed to meet
you at thts place and give you a hearty welcome
during the short sojourn yau may make, on your
way to the Hermitage. I should not execute this
commission acceptably to the great body of the
people, or correspondent with my own judgment

bowing to the National Guard, and the rapid mo-
ion of his head, up and down, was the means of
having him from a danger which he little appre-
tended was so imminent. Some of the wadding
vas found in his hair; the ball lodged in the op-
)osite side of the carriage."

A very distressing accident occurred in Green-
ville, Nortb Carolina, a few days ago, by reason of
the bursting of a cannon among a number of per-
sons who were celebrating an election triumph.
It appears that the piece had been discharged,
intil heated, and with a view of increasing the re-
port, the persons who had the possession of it
were engaged in ramming down brickbats upon
the cartridge. A number of the bystanders, white
and colored, were-assisting in holding up the piece,
(it not being mounted on a gun carriage,) and
while thus clustered around the mouth of the can-
non, or within its range, it exploded, spreading
wounds and death among eighteen persons.
Several were killed, and the rest more or less se-
verely inj tred.-Baltimore .amnerican.

MR. MADISON.
Mr. Rives, in the touching and beautiful speech
which he delivered, when the death of Mr. Madi-
son was announced to the Senate, referred to a
letter which he had recently received, as proba-
bly the last written by this distinguished man.
He was mistaken. Professor Tucker, of our
University, had the honor of receiving the last
emanation from his mind, under circumstances
which render the incident peculiarly interesting.
It was in answer to a dedication of Mr. Tucker's
life of Jefferson, which is now in press. We learn
from Mr. T. that it was written with the usual
spirit and ability of the author, and the most
chaste and perfect letter he had ever received
from him. It was written by Mr. Todd after his
dictation, and franked by himself.

NOTICE.
D" R. KUHL respectfully informs his friends
and thIe public, that he has closed his offi-
ces in Washington and the city of Baltimore, and
-..+_ -1T. __ 1T-U1 C*- 41 6- ---- -C ___


oughout our widely extended country, o? in
srence to that peculiar affection which has been
ertained by the people of this country for you,
nearly half a century. If your patriotic scr-
es and sacrifices, through a long and eventful
, could cease to be felt dsewhere as having con-
-red singular benefits upon your country, they
ver can be forgotten in the county of Washing-
, where you first become a resident of the
te, and, with many of our forefathers, one of
early pioneers of Tennessee.
' It can be hardly necessary to state, that as we
*e, when family represented, unflinchingly stood
you heretofore, we shall hereafter be found,
far as we are concerned, amons your steady
pporters during the remainder of your adminis-
Ltion, of such measures as shall redound to the
-manent welfare of our country, and your indi-
ual fame."
The P[esident's reply vwas as follovs:
"ISiR: The cheering welcome given me on this
cnson by the citizens of Jonesborough and its
inity, is received with feelings of the deepest
nsimility. Accompanied as it has been by the
ntiments you have just declared, it excites re-
ctions in my bosom which I fear any language
iclh I can employ will but inadequately express.
rty-eighc years have passed away since I first
ne to this hippy land. Forty years ag, 1 was
sole representative in Congress; and now to
rn through the many political tests to which my
Shas been since subjected, there has been no
rnge in the confidence and partiality which its
iabitaats so early and so generously bestowed
on me, is an honor which fills my heart with
lotions of gratitude and thankfulness to that
evidence in whose hands are the destinies of us
. Allow me to assure you, sir, that at no former
rind have I been so deeply penetrated by the
ise of my obligations to the country, in whose
vice I have spent a great portion of my life,
d witnessed the most of those political events
which have influenced its prosperity.
" makingg my views of public duty from the
hool of the revolution, by which we achieved
r liberties, I have endeavored to- follow the
*hts afforded by the examples of the patriots
ho founded and who reformed our system of
government. 'If I have been so far successful as
have done nothing to impair their sacred work,
d shall leave, at the close of my administration,
r country and its free institutional -in thehappy
ite you have described, I shall feel myself fortu-
te far beyond my merits. The applause you
,ye bestowed upon me will be due to the people
hose firmness, intelligence, and virtue, have up-
;ld and stimulated my exertions.
" You have done me but justice, sir, in refusing
cr,-dit the declarations which have been made
.pecting the agency ascribed to Mr. Whitney in
e management and possession of the public
nds. These declarations have been contradict-
Sby frequent official reports, and are known to
False by any one at all conversant with the
proceedings of the session of Congress which has
st closed. The rumors which have prevailed
n the subject are like many other fabrications
which have been put afloat with the view of pre-
d(licing the republican cause, and slandering the
character of those who hav-e been bold enough to
Expose tie corruptions of the Bank of the United
states.
I beg leave to repeat my hearty thanks for
.e cordial reception given me by the citizens of
Vashington, and to assure them that I meet them
an old friend, identified with all their fortunes
y the mostsacred of ties."
After this ceremony, the President rode forward
o the right of the corps of escort, when the latter
)rmed in the rear, and the procession in this order
aoved onward to the town. In the meantime,
he number of people in the streets swelled to a
ast throng-all glowing with impatience to wel-
nome the immortal JACKSON. A well arranged
ignment on foot was formed from the entrance
& the Blountville road as far down thie street as
ie post office, and as the President and escort ap-
roached, the "spirit-stirring drum and fife" an-
ounced the gratifying fact. Every head was
ncoveied-every heart spoke out its grateful
welcome, as the venerable man passed in front of
he line of citizens. At Dr. Chester's hotel, the
scorting procession halted, and the President was
inducted in by his friends. The indications of
me popular feeling at this moment, were imposing.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1836

WHITE AND MANGUM.
At the request of a correspondent in North Ca-
rolina, we publish from the journals of the session
of 1832 and 1833, the votes on the passage of Mr.
Clay's land bill. Lt will be seen that Messrs.
White and Mangum voted against the measure;
and they not only voted against it on its passage,
but against every proposition made by its friends,
calculated to reconcile the country to that or any
other mode of distribution. It will be seen by
the vote below, that every southern Senator voted
in the sarme way. They voted against the land
distribution, as an indirect mode of maintaining
the tariff-and they held it to be a palpable viola-
tion of the constitution.
But Messrs. Mangum and White went further
than some other southern Senators; they voted
for the substitute quoted below, which embraces,
1 The graduation principle; 2. The gift of the
lands remaining unsold a certain number of year,
at the lowest grade of price, to actual settlers;
and 3. They voted for Mr. Benton's principle
confining the distribution to the proceeds after
deducting the amount paid to Indians,and other ex-
penses incurred by the Treasury, which would
have left little to divide.
It will he found, on examining the Journal, pages
304 and 314, that Jud.e White voted against the
graduation principle at the la had formerly supported; and Mangum, who was
absent when the question was first taken oa Mr.
Walker's graduation, joined White in voting down
Mr. Robinson's, which proposed a 'still more
gradual reduction, and was less favorable to the
setitle'rthaLthos efCered at former sessions, which
were supported by both White and Mangum.
The next glaring inconsistency of Messrs. Man-
gum and White was shown in their votes in regard
to the deduction of the expenses incurred about
the lands out of the proceeds before they were
divided. In 1832 and 1833, they joined Mr.
Benton in his utmost effort to leave nothing but
the nett proceeds to distribute, but at the last ses-
sion they turned a somerset upon this point, too-
on the question made by Mr. Benton to ascertain
the "net proceeds" by deducting.
On "Indian annuities on account of public lands,"
Messrs. MAoGUM and WHITE voted in the nega-
tive.
On deducting expenditures "for holding trea-
ties with Indians for the purchase of public lands,"
Messrs. WnHITE and MAxGUM voted in the negative.
Also, on deducting -"amount paid to Indians for
the purchase of public lands," Messrs. MAxGUM and
WHITE voted in the negative.
Also, on deducting "amount expended in removing
Indians from lands purchased," Messrs. MANGU1I
and WHITE voted in the negative. See Journal,
pages 316 and 317.
And on the 4th of May, 1836, Messrs. WHITE and
MsNGUM consummated their inconsistencies, by
voting for the obnoxious land bill, which they had
opposed in all its stages in 1832 and 1833:
We here add the substitute offered for the land
bill, and the vote on itin the session of 1832-'33.
`I he question recurring on agreeing to the
amendment reported to the bill by the Committee
on Public Lands, as follows:
After the enacting clause, strike out to the end
of the bill, and insert the following:
That so much of the public lands as have been
heretofore offered at public sale, and have been
subject to entry at private sale at one dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre, and still remain unsold,
shall, from and after the thirtieth day of June
next, be offered at private sale at one dollar per
acre.
SEc. 2. .dtnd be it further enacted, That it sha'l
and may be lawful for any hed ofea family, or any
single man over the age of twenty-one years, or
any widow, and wishing to become an actual set-
tler on any parcel of land authorized by this act
to be sold, and not exceeding one quarter section
in amount, to demand and receive, from the pro-
per register and receiver, as soon as the said par-
cel shall have been offered at the price by this act
established, a written permission to settle on the
same; and if the person so applying shall pay
down to the proper receiver the sum of fifty cents
per acre for land offered at one dollar per acre by


the first section of this act, and shall, forthwith,
settle thereupon, and cultivate it for ve consecu-
tive years, and shall be a citizen oi the United
States at the end of that time, the said person, or
his or her legal representatives, if dead, shall be
entitled to receive a patent therefore from the
United States; and if two or more persons entitled
to the privileges of actual settlers shall apply at
the same time for the same parcel of land, then
the register and receiver shall immediately decideV,
the right of preference between them according
to equitable circumstances; and, where the equi-
table circumstances appear to be equal, the deci-
sion shall be by lot: Provided, always, That no
sale, alienation, or transfer, of any settlement
right, shall be valid, and in no case shall the patent
issue in the name, or enure to the benefit of any
person but the settler himself, if living, or to his
widow and heirs or devisees, if dead.
SEC. 3. .and be it further enacted, That the re-
gisters and receivers, for services done under the
second section of this act, shall have a right to de-
mand and take, from the persons applyiag for
such services, the following fees: for a writ-
ten permission to settle, the sum of twenty-five
cents each; for taking the proof of settlement,
cultivation, and granting the final certificate, fifty
cents each.
SEc. 4. .And be it further enacted, That it shall
be the duty of the President of the United States
to cause the land offices to be closed in all
the districts in which the public lands shall be
sold out, or otherwise disposed of under the pro-
visions of this act.
It was determined in the negative-yeas 17,
nays 26.
On motion of Mr. KANE,
The yeas and nays being desired by one-fifth of
the Senators present,
'Those who voted in the affirmative are,
Messrs. Benton, Black, Brown, Buckner, For-
syth, Grundy, htendricks, Hill, Kane, King, Man-
gum, Moore, Robinson, Smith, Tipton, White,
Wright.
T'hnapvoA T vrn*temo>l in tbei nevari~vf are.


In relation to the same, we have seen a letter
written by an officer of a bank in one of the west-
ern States, who thus writes:
"We were at first induced to believe that this
regulation would have an injurious effect, in con-
sequence of the panic which it was feared might
be created; but on reflection, we believe that its
tendency will be beneficial. The deposit banks,
at all events, have nothing to fear from its opera-
tion, nor will the better class of other banks be
effected injuriously, unless it be by a strong cur-
rent of public opinion inducing a suspicion of all
banks, and causing a run for specie. The banks
which have excessive issues must of course curtail
their business and draw in their circulation, which
will be salutary for the country. I apprehend no
inconvenience from the measure." We have seen
letters from individuals residing in the west, of sim-
ilar import.

LITERARY.
A joint stock company has been formed at Pa-
ris, with a capital of five hundred thousand francs,
for the purpose of publishing editions of standard
works, and which are published in a style of
magnificence hitherto unknown, and at the low-
est possible prices. As a specimen of the prices,
it is stated that the works of Moliere, splendidly
printed, aid with eight hundred vignette engrav-
ings, will be sold at twenty-five francs; Gil Bias,
with five hundred and ninety-three engravings, at
fifteen francs; a collection of Latin authors, with a
French translation, in thirty volumes, and contain-
ing as much as two hundred common volumes, is
sold at three hundred francs.
The publication of those works is not confined
to the French language, but they will appear in
several foreign languages, with the French en-
gravings, so that the benefits resulting from th t
formation of the society are by no means exclu-
sive and national; foi- Ahe German, Italian, Spaii-
iard, Englishman, and American, will all be
benefited; and, indeed, every nation may be, that
is literary and liberal enough to pay for the cost
of printing, as the engravings are adapted, of
course, to all tastes and all languages. An Eng-
lish edition of Gil Bias is about to be published,
or has been, in London, with the French en-
gravings.
Why cannot a society of this description be
formed in the United States? We know of no-
thing to prevent it, and many reasons m*ght be
given why it could beldone; and, perhaps, not the
least potent is, that the stock itself would be
valuable, and would yield, we have little doubt, as
good dividends as canals and railroads in general.
If a few enterprising booksellers would identify
themselves with the experiment, It would succeed
beyond doubt; and if, by possibility, it should not,
the loss sustained would not be great, as the
capital need not exceed one or two hundred
thousand dollars. And to what purpose more
elegant or useful, or laudable, could that sum be
applied, than to a diffusion of knowledge and the
promotion of literature?
SSo popular are the editions of the works pub-
lished by the company in France, that, according
to the Paris National, near eight thousand copies
of the first numbers of Don Quixotte were sold in
two days.
A similar enterprise is now in successful opera-
tion at Havre, and the most material difference is,
we believe, that the works published on account
of the Literary Pantheon (as the Havre es'abl~sh-
ment is called) are without engravings. Sixty-
six volumes have appeared of the most approved
and popular works, the subjects being" historical,
religious, philosophical, dramatic, poetical, and
polygraphical. Guieciardini's History of Italy, a
voluminous and expensive work, as published
generally, appears in one volume; Gibbon's Ro-
man Empire in two; all the historical works of
Robertson in two, (generally in ten, octavo,) the
works of Fenelon in three, of Moliere in one, of
Rabelais in one, of Voltaire in twelve, (heretofore
from forty to one hundred and twenty.) The
volumes are all octrvoes, and the price of each
ten francs, which is a reduction, upon an average,
of not less than three or four hundred per cent.
The Harpers and others have done much of
late years in this country, towards multiplying
and cheapening valuable works in various depart-


ments of literature, but the French method of
attaining those desirable objects, number and
cheapness, appears to be, of all others, the most
practicable and the most eligible, as it involves no
hazard to individuals. If the company sustains a
loss, it is so inconsiderable, when divided among
the stockholders, that it can occasion but little
inconvenience and no uneasiness.

LORD MELBOURNE.
The London Morning Chronicle of the 23d of
June contains a full report of the trial in the case
of crim. con. in which this nobleman, the B.itish
Premier, was defendant, and the Hon. Mr. Nor-
ton, a brother of Lord Grantley, plaintiff. The
interest that had been excited was very great, not
only on account of the high standing of all the
parties, but, by accident or design, the affair had
assumed a political aspect, and the friends of the
Minister asserted that the whole concern was a
political persecution, got utip under the mask of a
pretended private delinquency: and the result
will no doubt cut firm them in this opinion. The
trial commenced on the 22d of June, at half past
nine, A. M., and continued, with a recess of half
an hour only, until half past eleven, P. M. The
jury, after consulting a few moments, gave a ver-
dict for the defendant without retiring from the
box. The court-room was crowded to suffoca-
tion, and there was a great number of persons out-
side who could not squeeze or elbow their way
into the interior.
The witnesses were principally servants-some
of them discarded ones, too, who had been turned
away for misconduct. A part of their testimony


es," if he believes in the guilt of his wife, how
indescribably miserable must he be-
Standing alone by his desolate hearth,
Where all his household goods lay shivered around him."
The great length of the trial puts it out of our
power to give even an extract from it of length
enough to be interesting; but for the benefit of
those who may have an interest in understanding
what the law is in such cases, we quote a few lines
from the charge, to the jury, of the judge who pre
sided at the trial. They express in a few words
the duty of a jury, and show at the same time
what kind of proof is necessary to secure a ver-
dict for a plaintiff.-"Having thus recapitulated
the evidence which has been adduced, (says the
judge,) he had only to leave the facts stated by
the various witnesses to the good sense and tem-
perate discretion of the jury. They ought not
to rely implicitly on facts as bearing against the de-
fendant, if in their opinion those facts were as
capable of one interpretation as another. They
should look guardedly at the various points of the
evidence, making up their own minds where they
thought it of a conclusive nature, and where not
so; and they should then ask their consciences
whether they should arrive at the conclusion, that
Lord Melbourne ha 1 committed adultery with the
wife of Mr, Norton. If, looking at the bulk of
the evidence with that caution which the case de-
manded, the conviction were to remain upon their
minds that such had been the fact, they should
give a verdict for the plaintiff. If, on the other
hand, they were to come to the conviction that
the facts alleged to have taken place between the
parties were such as did not bear out the charge
against the defendant, then they should undoubt-
edly acquit him."

Great Failure at Buffalo.-The news of the fail-
ure of Benjamin Rathbun, at Buffalo, which was
received this morning, caused a very unusual sen-
sation in Wall street. His affairs have for months
past been the subject of much speculation, and
his notts, endorsed by some ten or twelve of the
best names in that city, have been crowded upon
the market at the enormous discount of three or
four per cent. a month. They haveserved for the
quotations of some of our neighbors in giving the
condition of the money market. The credit of every
body in Buffalo of course became deeply impli-
cated, and it was said repeatedly that, if "Rathbun
failed, all Buffalo must fail."-N. Y. Journal of
Commerce, daug. 6.
NOTE.-The above mode of showing the condi-
tion of the money market, and grounding on it
tirades of abuse against the Treasury and the ad-
ministration, is very happily exposed. Webb and
Noah, it is hoped, will take warning from it.

From the following it would seem that the op-
position are finding out the imposture of their
military candidate. Always an imbecile, and vain
beyond endurance, dotage, and his course of
life at the North Bend and its neighborhood, have
rendered him perfectly contemptible.
From the New York Times.
A VISIT TO GEN. HARnisoN.-A number of
Whig gentlemen, opposed to Mr. Van Buren,
and in favor of Harrison, recently paid a visit to
the Farmer of North Bend. They had formed,
from the glowing account of the Whig journals,
a most favorable idea of the intellect of the great
available. They sought him, found him, convers
ed with him, and left him, sickened with his im-
becility and egotism, and in no good humor with
themselves at the reflection that they had been
most outrageously humbugged by a portion of
their Whig brethren. The subjoined account of
this int, resting, interview is from the Cincinnati
Republican:
"VAN BUREN TRICKS."-PEOPLE'S ECHO.
Mr. Ramsay,---Sir: Having accidently observed
in the" People's Echo," a contradiction of a cer-
tain rumor, in reference to the visit of a number of
g-cntlemen from the east to Gen. Harr son, under
the above caption, and calling upon me as the gen-
tleman still remaining in Cincinnati, to refute it,
I have been induced to make the following" state-
ment ot facts, without regard to the rumors cir-
culated by the Magician's friends, or the still more
unautho; ized contradiction of the partizans of the
Petticoat Hero. Imprimis, a number of gentle-
men from Boston, New Yoik, Philadelphia, and
some of the western States, agreed to make
a visit, during their sojourn in Cincinnati, to
General Harrison, whose pretensions to the
Presidential Chair they zealously advocated,
none more w:rrmly and sincerely than myself.
Arrangements were made for the introduction,
-nd, in due time, myself and Messrs. with
becoming formality, bowed to the General. Af-
ter a few moments' conversation with thle General,


in which he betrayed great imbecility and egotism,
we left him in disgust: the othtr gentlemen, in
half an hour afterwards, were introduced by
me, with the like result. All of them, except
one, expressed a determination to abandon the
"old Granny," and advocate the election of any
other man thtn Harrison, soine of' them openly
avowing their intention to support Mr. Van Bu-
ren. The writer of this was induced from the
representations of his brother, a resident of Cin-
cinnati, and who is s iil a misguided follower of
Harrison, to take an active p.rt in getting up a
meeting in Philadelphia in behalf of the General-
has served upon several important c'mmittces,
and sacrificed much time to rally the whigs in his
support.
The writer leaves his own name and residence,
together with the names of the other gentlemen,
with the editor of the Republican, which the in-
credulous Mr. Wood or any of his party may ex-
amine, and determine for themselves.
This is not the only instance in which honest
men of the whig party have turned away with dis-
gust and loathing for their party nominee. I will,
tor the especial accommodation of Mr. Wood, if
he wishes it, furnish several other instances.
11. O'B.
The author of the foregoing communication is
from Philadelphia, and has heretofore acted with
the opposition, was among the first to espouse the
cause of General Harrison, and i& as, until since his
arrival in Cincinnati, Secrttary of the Democratic
Whig Committee of Superintendence for the city
of Philadelphia, Chairman of the Committee to
draft addresses, Secretary of the Whig Associa-
tion of the Upper Delaware Ward, and one of the
committee on banners and placards. The gentle.
men alluded to in his communication (18 in num-
ber,) were mostly gentlemen of high intellectual
standing, and of commanding influence in their
respective neighborhoods. They were all strong-
ly opposed to the election of Mr. Van B3uren, anJ
as strong'!y in favor of General Harrison's election.

LIVE OAK TIMBER.
-- NAVT COMMISSIONERs' OrFFICE,
-+ ,8th July, 1836.
E-..ED proposals, endorsed "Proposals for
S;Live O Timber," will be received at this
fice until tliee o'clock, P. M., of the thirty-first
ay of Augusl-next, for supplying the following
,ive Oak Timber; viz:
No. 1. For the frame timber, beam and keelson
pieces, and for the promiscuous timber for one
hip of the line, one frigate, one sloop of war,
nd one schooner, to be delivered at the navy yard
ear Portsmouth, N. H. -
No. 2. For the frame timber, beam and keelson
pieces, and for the promiscuous timber for one
teamerand one schooner, to be delivered at the
avy yard, Philadelphia.
The quantity and dimensions of the promiscu-
us timber for each vessel, of each class, is as
>llows:
For the ship of the line, 6,000 cubic feet, which
nust be sided 15 inchle, and be from 12 to 20 feet
n length; six of the longest pieces to side 22
iches.
For the frigate, 3,000 cubic feet, which must
e sided 15 inches, and be from 12 to 20 feet
>ng; six of the longest pieces to side 19 inches.
For the sloop of war, 1,000 cubic feet, which
lust be sided 12 inches, and be from 12 to 18
eet long; six of the longest pieces to side 16
iches.
For the steamer, 1,000 cubic feet, which must
e sided 15 inches, and be from 12 to 18 feet
)ng; six of the longest pieces to side 16 inches.
For each schooner, 300 cubic feet, which must
e sided 8 inches, and be from 10 to 16 feet long;
[x of the longest pieces to side 12j inches.
A part of the promiscuous timber may be got
o larger dimensions, provided the pieces will
answer for replacing defective hawse pieces, tran-
i)ms, breast-hooks, or other valuable pieces.
Separate offers must be made for each of the pre-
eding numbers, and .ach offer must embrace ad
he timber that is called for by the number to
which it refers; the prices asked per cubic foot
nust be stated separately for each and every class
f vessels embraced in the offer; and for the pro-
niscuous timber of each class, separately from the
their, which is considered moulded timber.
At least one fourth of the whole quantity of tim-
er embraced in each offer, comprising a faith pro-
tortion of the most valuable pieces, must be deli-
ered on or before the first of June, 1838, one half
f the remainder on or before the first of June,
839, and the whole quantity on or before the first
[ay of June, 1840; and if the above proportions
hail not be delivered at the respective times
bove specified, the Commissioners of the Na'Vy
reserve to themselves the right of cancelling" any
contract in the execution of which such failure
nay occur, and of entering into new contracts,
olding the original contractors and their sureties
able for any excess of cost and other damages
rhich may be thus incurred.
The said Live Oak Timber must have grown
within twenty-five miles of the seaboard, (w',ich
nust be proven to the satisfaction of the respec-
ire commandants,) must be got out by the moulds
.nd written directions, and specificatipns of di.
tensions, &c., which will be furnished to the con-
factors for their government, and must be free

scrambles and combinations in Congress, which
have been heretofore witnessed, and the other
affairs of the country, to the injurious effects una-
Svoidably resulting from them, it would, in my
opinion, be infinitely preferable to leave works
of the character spoken of, and not' embraced in
the exception which has been pointed out, for
the present, to the supports upon which they
have reposed with so much success for the last
two years, viz. State efforts and private enter-
prize. If the great body of the People become
convinced that the progress of these works should
be accelerated by the federal arm, they will not
refuse to come to some proper constitutional ar-
rangement upon the subject. The supposition
that an equitable rule, which pays a proper res-
pect to the interests and condition of the different
States, could fail to receive ultimately the consti-
tutional sanction, would be doing injustice to the
intelligence of the country. By such a settle-
ment of the question, our political system, in ad-
dition to the other advantages derived from it,
would, in r. lation to this subject at least, be re-
lieved from those dangerous shocks, which spring
from diversities of opinion upon constitutional
points of deep interest; and, in the meantime,
the resources of the country would. be best hus-
banded by being left in the hands of those by
whose labor they are produced."
It will appear from these quotations, that whilst
General Jackson, in his Maysville message, ex-
pressed an opitiion, that appropriations for objects
which might be deemed to be of national cha-
racter, should be deferred until after the national
debt was paid, Mr. Van Buren, in 1832, went
further. He dec!'tred his opinion to be, that ap-
propriations for improvements even of this charac-
ter, should be withheld until an amendment of
the Constitution expressly authorizing and regu-
lating them, should be made. In a subsequent
message, the President, upon a further view of
the subject, adopted and announced, substantially,
the same construction.
It is to be regretted, fellow-citizens, that in the
conflicts of party, in the pursuit of a favorite ob-
ject, in attempts to advance the interests of -,'
favored candidate, or to destroy a dreaded riVal,
.persons who, in private life, may be honorable
and amiable, are often hurried into measures
which, in cooler moments of reason and reflec-
tion, they would disapprove. How else are we
to account for the attempts which have been so
sedulously, but so recklessly and unjustly made,
to connect Mr. VantBuren's name with the crimes
and follies of abolitionism, and to fix upon him a
portion of the odium which attaches-so properly
to the fanatics who propagate and support that
insane and nefarious scheme ? Is there a shadow
of evidence that he has ever participated in their
plans? or by word or action given to them coun-
tenance or encouragement? So far from this, the
proof is complete that r.Ir. Van Buren and his
:political friends in New York used every possible
exertion to arrest the progress of the abolition-
ists, and to array against them the patriotism and
intelligence of the North. One of the first meet-
ings to counteract and put down the abolitionists
was held in Albany, which has often reproach-
fully been called the seat and centre of Mr. Van
Buren's power. At this assemblage, no Icss d's.
tinguished for numbers than talents, at which Mr.
Marcy, the Governor of the State, presided, some
of the strongest resolutions any where adopted,
were passed, denouncing, in the most unqualified
terms, the principles and conduct of the abolition-
ists, and calling upon all men who were attached.
to their country, and the Union of the States, to
resist their machinations. The sentiments of this
meeting, Mr. Van Buren, in a public and written
declaration, sanctioned by his approval and adopted
as his own. At a subsequent time, Governor
Marcy, in his message to the Legislature 'of New
York, used the strongest possible language
.against the abolition party, and declared tih't if
public sentiment would not put them down, the
Assembly ought to resort to legislative enact-
ments to ,effect that object. To this message,
which the oppositionists themselves admitted to be
fraught with sentiments of lofty patriotism, devo-
tion to the Union, and a proper regard to the
rights of the South, the Legislature responded
their entire approval, especially to the part which
recognized the right and prospective propriety of
restraining, by law, insurrectionary and incendiary
publication. But Mr. Van Buren's sentiments
on abolition do nut rest on this evidence, strong as
it ought to be con-idered. His opinions were
fully developed in, his letter of the 6th of March,
1836, to Messrs. Junius Amis, Isaac Hall, and
others, in answer to one from them, from Jackson,
North Carolina.
As the subject we are discussing is one of great
importance, and one on which our opponents main-
ly rely in the warfare they are carrying on against
Mr. Van Buren, we deem it proper to insert the
following extracts from that letter:
"I am not only willing, but desirous, gentlemen,
that you should have the most thorough know-
ledge of my views and feelings upon the delicate
and interesting subject with which your question
is connected, and I shall endeavor to acquaint
you with them in the fullest manner in my power.
"Not having heretofore had the honor of being
in political communication with you, I am not ad-
vised whether the sentiments relatinge to it, which


have been avowed by'nyself and by my authority
within the last two years, have come to your know-
lege. I deem it, therefore, proper, to furnish you
.with the substance of them, Wetore I reply to your
more specific inquiry. The avowals to which I
refer, were:
1st. An opinion that Congreshas no right to
interfere in any manner, or to any).xtent, with
the subject of Slavery in the States;
"2d. Against the propriety of the'r doing so
in the District of Columbia; and,
*"3d. The statement of my full concurrence in
the sentiments express d by the citizens of Alba.
ay, in public meeting, the most important of which
.are as follows, viz: 'That the Constitution of the
United States carries with it an adjustment of all
questions involved in the deliberations which led
to its adoption, and that the compromise of inter-
ests in which it was founded, is binding in honor
and good faith; independently off the force of agree-
,nent, on all who live under its protection and part-
ticipate in the benefits of which it is the source;'
.' That the relation of master and slave is a matter
exclhsively belonging to the people of each State,
within its own boundary, and that any attempt by
the Government or people of any other S ,ite, or
by the General Government, to interfere with or
disturb it, would violate the spirit of that compro-
mise which lies at the basis of the Federal compact:',
'That we can only hope to maintain the Union
of the States by abstaining from all interference
with the laws, domestic policy, and peculiar in-
terests of every other State: 'That all such in-
terference which tends to alienate one portion of
our countrymen from the rest, deserves to be
frowned upon with indignation by all who cherish
the principles of our revolutionary fathers, and
who desire to preserve the Constitution by the
exercise of that spirit of amity which animated its
framers:' 'That they deprecated the conduct of
those who are attempting to coerce their' brethren
inmrither Stat's into-the abolition of slavery), by ap-
ipeals to the fears of the master and to the pas-
sions, of the slave; and that they could not but con-
sider them us disturbers of the public peace, and
would, by all constitutional mens, exert their in-
fluence to arrest the progress of such measures :'

in that situation, he magnanimously declined an
election, because he could not reconcile it to his
principles to advocate a local improvement by
the Gcneral Government in that district, which
was an object of particular solicitude to its inha-
bitants.
Since this address was in progress, and indeed
nearly completed, we have seen that of ths Staun-
tcn Convention, and we are bound in candor, but
with all proper respect, to say, that, so far from
removing our objections to the proceedings of the
opposition in relation to the Presidential contest,
it has tended strongly to confirm them. We
cannot consent to thie justice of the representa-
tions which they have given to the situation of the
country, or the acts of General Jackson's adminis-
tration. We must be permitted to express our
astonishment, that the Convention should expect
the people to be so much influenced by hostility
to a particular candidate as to support any other
for his exclusion, whatever may be the opinions
or principles of the person selected to effect their
object; nor can we reconcile to any ideas of con-
sistency or propriety, the sweeping denuncia-
tions of General Jackson, with the studied and
extravagant eulogium on Judge White, who
has participated most largely in sustaining
the measures of the ;Prcsident's administra-
tion, and particularly those which have exposed
him to the greatest obloquy and abuse from
the party of which the Convention were the
representatives. We find equal difficulty
in understanding how the Convention can sa-
tisfy the people of the propriety of accept-
ing the alternative of General Harrison or
Judge White, whose political principles are in
direct and irreconcilable conflict and opposition.
We can only account for these things, by suppos-
ing that the Conv2 ition acted under the influence
of the gloomy (though doubtless sincere) delu-
sions and misconceptions which seem to pervade
the whole appeal which they have made to the
public. The Convention have informed us, with
great frankness, that the only remedy for the nu-
merous evils and mischiefs which they have de-
picted in such sombre colors, is to be found -in
the total prostration of those placed in power by
your suffrages. It seems to have escaped their re-
collection, that you pronounced a solemn verdict
at the second election of General Jackson, upon
charges and accusations similar, if not identical
to those now exhibited. We thank the Conven-
tion for making up the issue which they have
done upon the destruction of General Jackson and
his political friends, and the bringing the opposi-
tion into power. It is a war of political extermi-
nation which they profess it is their intention to
wage; but we shall place ourselves on our de-
fence, are prepared for the contest, and confident
of the result. We have peculiar opportunities of
hearing from different parts of the Commonwealth,
and we assert without hesitation, that at no period
have the friends of the principles of the Adminis-
tration and of Mr. Van Buren and Judge Smith,
been more united, or more satisfied that a victory,
brilliant and decisive, will crown their efforts.
We have now finished. We leave the subject
ina your hands, persuaded that you will prove true
to yourselves, and so bestow your suffrages as will
best sustain your rights and liberties, and advance
the prosperity and happiness of our beloved coun-
try.

GENERAL SCOTT.
We have been put io possession of a letter from
General Scott to a gentleman, in relation to the
mode in which his controversy with General Jesup
has been drawn into tie -newspapers. He says:
"I have not written a word to the Bulletin;
I have not, in fact, suggested a line or a factor
any newspaper whatever. So far from doing
anything in that wal, Ihave taken care to con-
verse but little, even with my friends, on military
matters in controversy, lest my knowledge of
circumstances and my tfeelngs should find their
way into the public papers, being aware that in
the great political contest now raging, every thing
likely to change a vote would be seized upon for
the purpose."
In reference to the particular publications of
Webb and King, alliMed to in the Globe, the
General says:
This day, Wednesday week, I went over to
New York and met Colonel Webb, close by
Trinity Church; after the ordinary salutation, I
asked him whence he derived the particulars of


an article on my subject, in his paper of the dlay
oi' the day but one before? In the act of evading
the inquiry, he was interrupted by Charles L.
Livingston, who joined us. He then finished
the answer, and stated to Mr. L. my question.
After some jocose remarks, he invited Mr. L. and
myself to spend the following Saturday evening
and Sunday at his house, on Long Island. I de-
clined, on the ground that I did not wish to associ-
ate with politicians, under my circumstances, as I
might be led to speak of recent military events,
&c. Mr. L., who is a strong supporter of Mr.
Van Buren,and myself, then walked up Broadway,
and Colonel Webb down. The next day I again
want over to New York, and chanced to meet Mr.
Charles King. An article in his paper a day or two
before, headed a General in search of the Govern-
ment, had been pointed out to me. I asked him
whence lie had derived the knowledge of the
particulars? &c. He gave me no satisfactory an-
swer; when I remarked to him, as I the day before
had said to Webb, all the world will attribute the
article to me: I declare before God, that I am as
ignorant of the source of either article, as Mr.
Blair himself can be."
Upon the absolute and circumstantial denial
made by Gen. Scott himself, we unhesitatingly de-
clare, that we acquit him of the suspicion of hav-
ing prompted the attempt to divert his case into
a political channel, and make it subserve party in-
terests, and so avail himself of party support-
General Scott will certainly, however, pardon the
mistake, inasmuch as he foresaw that "all the world
would attribute the articles to him."' Webb's dis-
play of the letter, and King's hue and cry of "a
General in search of the Government," beingsimul-
taneous with the arrival of Gen. Scott in N. York,
was calculated to fasten the impression on us more
-thm bhpq' h we learned that no copy of the original letter on file
had ever been made out, but that taken on by
Gen. Scott to New York; and also, that the Gene-
ral had reported himself to the Acting Secretary of
W a- nL' 1 c,,1 l.. .. ....-. r" :,.. t.. I. 1 Lt.


might find its way to the public under the direc-
tion of General Scott, as that accusing Major Reed
of cowardice had done before. lie addressed his
letter to us, that we might at least understand that
he felt himself wronged, and meant to vindicate
himself before the public through a court of in-
quiry. His letter was of such a character that
we would have supposed he meant that it should
appear in' the columns of the Globe, if Gen.Scott's
despatch had become public, but for the circum-
stance that it was marked private; but this we consi-
dered only a precaution-a precaution observed by
many of our correspondents-against giving it in
the columns of our paper. We did not hold it to be
a confidential letter, or we would not have given it
to the files of the War Department, to be made a
public and official document. We understood
General Jesup's injunction simply to say, that he
did not wish to begin a newspaper war, but he
wished the President, and the editor of the print
which had thrown so many of General Scott's
charges before the public, to know that he looked
to the report of a court of inquiry for his vin-
d;cation; but the spies for the opposition in this
city have been enabled to drag this private letter
from the files, and thus we have been dragged
into the controversy.

NILES' REGISTER.
We are happy to see that the editor of Niles'
Register has admitted and corrected one or two
errors, which were pointed out to him by the
Globe, in relation to three or four members of the
Cabinet.
Will he correct another, in his very last num-
ber, as to one of them, caused by"ascribing the
"Chronology of Cotton," which he republishes,
to Bicknell's Reporter, when Bicknell himself
professes, as was the fact, to extract it from the
late report on Cotton made to Congress by Mr.
Woodbury, the Secretary of the Treasury?

DOUBLE FALSEHOOD.
The following extract is from the last Evening
Star:
"In confirmation of' this opinion take the follow-
ing Treasury Circular, from which it will appear
that, in direct contradiction to Mr. Senator
Wright's declaration that there would be no sur-
plus, there is actually more than forty millions of
dollars subject to draft in the several deposit
banks."
Some of the opposition are content with one
misrepresentation in one article, but M. M. Noah
is what the manufacturers call a "double speed-
er," in perverting facts.
l1t. Mr. Wright never said there would be no
surplus in the Treasury, if no deduction was made
for outstanding appropriations.
Those appropriations, already made and to be
paid, exceed the whole thirty-six and a half mil-
ions now in the Treasury; and if they were all
paid, not a dollar would be left of a surplus at this
time. That was Mr. Wright's correct and wise
view of the subject. But the wigs could not be
easy without attempting to divide, for bribery;
first, by the land bill, and then by Mr. Calhoun's
distribution money, already pledged and promised.
2d. The money now in the Treasury, subject to
draft, is not 40 but only 36J millions, as shown by
the very report the delusive Star quotes; and the
whole of that, and indeed more, has already been
voted away by Congress, and charged to the year
1836; so that it is in no sense a surplus, proper to
be given away or nearly appropriated. But as it
will not all be expended till 1837, and, in the
mean time, more will be received, Congress have
thought proper to divide or deposite with the States
all but five millions, which is in the Treasury,
and not expended on the 1st day of next January.
There probably will then be from twenty to twenty-
five millions to be so divided, though neither that
sum, nor any thing like it, will then be a surplus,
after paying all the public debts; but over half of
it will be then already appropriated and pledged.
What Webster wisdom that evinces!

COMMUNICATEDED]
A NEW BANK IN THE DISTRICT.
It is understood that a number of citizens of the
District will petition Congress, at its next session,
to grant a charter for a bank, with a capital of
TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, to be located in
the District, and to be called thle DISTRICT
BANK.


The following are some of the most important
features of the charter which will be asked for:
First. It is proposed that of the capital stock of
two millions of dollars, each of the three corpora-
tions of the District shall be interested to the ex-
tent of three hundred thousand dollars, making
nine hundred thousand dollars of the capital,
which will belong to the three cor portions in the
District, viz: Washington,Alexandria, and George-
town.
The mode in which it is proposed that the cor-
porations shall supply each its portion of the capi-
tal to the bank, is as follows, viz: Each of the
corporations shall create a stock to the amount tof
their subscription, bearing an interest at the rate
of five per cent. per annum; for the redemption of
which the faith of the corporation shall be pledged,
as well as the interest which each corporation has
in the bank, to the extent of the interest of each,
for the payment of the same; the stock thus c:eat-
ed to be redeemable at the sa ne time that the
charter of the bank shall expire: this stock to
be delivered over to the President, Directors,
& Co. of the bank, in payment of the subscriptions
of the three corporations to the capital stock of
the bank. The bank shall take the said bonds,
and dispose of the same, not under par,for gold and
silver, and it shall be bound for the payment of
the principal, according to obligations of the cor-
porations. It shall also pay to the holders of the
certificates, which shall be issued by the corpora-
tions respectfully, and properly signed and authen-
ticated, in sums not less than five hundred dollars
semi-annually, the interest which has accrued; and
after doing this, the bank shall pay ever to
the respective corporations,whatever the dividends
semi-annually declared may exceed the interest
which it is required to pay upon the bonds of the
corporations.
In case the bonds which the three corporations
shall furnish, as their part of the capital of the
bank, shall produce a premium awhen the whole
.oha.ll Iav biel disposed of, then, whatever may
remain of such premium, after deducting all ex-
penses attending the sale of the same, shall be
divided equally between the three corporations.
It is believed that this bank, properly organiz-
ed and properly conducted, would, with the ex-
.- .--3 -...-- ,1..l- -a "^n *. -..... 1.1 -. ..... L -- --Ll


ately thereafter, the books shall be opened for any
individuals who think proper to subscribe for th,
balance, without any restriction whatever.
Second. That individuals of all classes may be
enabled to participate, upon true democratic prin-
ciples, the value of each share will be fixed at
TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS.
Third. The bank Lhall not issue any note or hill
of a denomination less than TWENTY DOL-
LARS: nor shall it receive on deposit, or take ii,
any other way, the note of any bank whatever,
which may be issued for a less sum than twenty
dollars.
This provision will operate to exclude from
circulation in the District all bank notes for sums
less than twenty dollars, and secure to it a circu-
lation of gold and silver for all sums under that
amount.
Fourth. The bank shall be prohibited from
loaning upon the hypothecation of its own stock.
This prohibition is calculated to secure to the
use of the citizens of the District generally the
capital of the bank, and prevent, as in some in-
stances it is said has been the case, the capital
being loaned to individuals upon the stock which
they hold in the bank, at six per cent. per annum,
while the bank was dividing eight per cent. per
annum, beside extra dividends; thus giving undue
advantages to large stockholders, to the exclusion,
at times, of applicants for discount who offer the
best business paper for discount.
Fifth. The bank shall not hold any real estate
except for its own accommodation, unless taken
in payment of debts actually become due to the
bank; and then such real estate thus falling into
its hands, shall be disposed of within two years
thereafter.
The propriety of this restraining clause must be
too apparent to require any comment.
Sixth. The capital stock shall be equally di-
vided in the three cities of Washington, Alexan-
dria, and Georgetown, one third each.
Seventh. There shall be a board of directors in
each place, that at Washington having the con-
trol of the general affairs of the institution, the
whole being considered as one, excepting in the af-
fairs of local discounts, in which the respective
boards shall act independent of each other; sub-
ject, however, to the control of the directors of the
central body at Washington.
Eighth. The Board of Directors of the bank at
Washington shall be composed of.thirteen indi-
viduals, three of whom to be appointed by the
corporation of the city, one by that of Alexandria,
one by that of Georgetown, and eight to be cho-
sen by the individual stockholders. Those of
Alexandria and Georgetown to be composed of
seven individuals, who shall be residents in those
places respectively, two to be appointed by the
corporations for each place, and the other five to
be chosen by the individual stockholders annually,
at the same time and place those for the Wash-
ington bank are chosen.
.Ninth. At Washington there shall be a presi-
dent elected annually, after the election of direc-
tors; but at the branches at Alexandria and
Georgetown, the directors shall preside at the
meeting of directors in rotation, when present.
length. All notes issued shall be signed by the
president of the bank at Washington, and counter-
signed by the cashier thereof, and shall be made
payable, and be paid at the bank at the said place.
If the bank shall at any time fail to pay its obli
nations on demand, it shall forfeit its charter upon
proof thereof, an.d the three corporations, and the
individual stockholders, shall each be able for all
the debts of the bank in the proportions that each
are interested.
Eleventh. The bank may deal in gold and silver
bullion or coin, domestic or foreign bills of ex-
change; but it shall not purchase or deal in the
stocks of the United States, or of any one of the
said States, unless specially authorized to do so
by an act of Congress for that purpose; nor shall
it at any time deal in the notes issued by any bank
in the United States in any other way than by
taking those of such denominations as are not pro-
hibited, at par.
These are the mere general outlines of the prin-
ciples upon which it is intended to petition Con-
gress to incorporate a bank for the Distiict, at its
next session.
It is believed that a bank established upon some-
thing like the general principles here set forth,
will be serviceable to each individual in the whole
District, whether stockholder or not, and yield to
the immediate stockholders a reasonable profit-
be able to grant all proper facilities to the com-
munity, and afford Congress an opportunity of
giving a model to the individual States for banks.
This early annunciation of the contemplated ap-
plicationi for a charter from Congr'ess Ibor a bank
upon the foregoing principles, is maae that it may
be fairly discussed before thle meeting takes place.

We have been furnished with the following com-
munication from Governor CALL to the War De-
partment, and the accompanying report from the
gallant Captain LEE, giving a more particular ac-
count of the affair with the Indians on the 9th of
June. "lhe lamented Colonel Heileman had
promised a more circumstantial statement; but
this duty has now devolved on the officer second
in command-himself dangerously wounded. He is


only now so far recovered as to be able to dis-
charge this duty.
TALLAHASSEE, 21st July, 1836.
SIR: I have the honor herewith to enclose a copy
of the official report of Captain Lee, relative to
the engagement with the Indians near Micanopy,
on the 9th day of June last. Captain Lee explains
sufficiently the reason why this report is now made,
and why it was not made at an earlier period. The
gallant Major Heileman was brevetted for his con-
duct on that occasion, but unfortunately did not
live toreceive the intelligence of this acknowledg-
ment of his worth. It appears to me, both from
the report uf Major Heileman and Captain Lee,
that the latter officer and the two surviving Lieu-
ten.ants who acted under his orders, are equally
entitled to this distinction. I would therefore re-
spectfully suggest the propriety, as well as the
justice, of conferring brevets on Captain Lee,
Lieutenant Humphreys, and Lieutenant Talcott,
for the gallantry and bravery with which they
fought on that occasion. Thisjust reward for their
services would have a happy effect on the future
operations of the army.
I am, sir, very respectfully, &c ,
R. K. CALL,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief.
The honorable SECRMTAYT OF WAR.

FORT DEFIANCE, MICAXOPY,?
East Fordia, July 12, 1836. S
SIR: On the day following the engagement near
this place with the Indians, on the 9th of June last,
Major Heileman made a hasty and imperfect re-
port of the event to Brig. Gen. Eustis, who at that
time commanded the troops in Florida, in which
he merely gave a general outline of the occur-
rences of the morning, stating to me at the time
that, as sion as the state of my wounds would al-
low me to give him a special account of my kwow-
ledge of the affair, he should make a detailed re-
port of it, based upon the representations of Lieu-
tenants Wheelock and Humphreys and myself.
Within three or four days afterwards, Major Heile-
man was attacked with a severe illness that termi-
nated in his death, which sudden and lamented
evpnt has dtPnr;vrl ih. tha rmv Af nn nfe its nrst


fore he found himself in contact with the enemy's
left. The dragoons, led on by their intrepid and
gallant commander, Lieutenant Wheelock, whose
untimely death we have recently been called up-
on to mourn, were now warmly engaged with the
enemy's right, charging on horseback and de.
livering their fire without dismounting-the
Indians retreating before them. Having de-
livered their firzt fire, they reloaded on
their ground, charged and fired again, and
so on until the enemy were forced into
the Tuscawilla hammock, their strong hold.-
Meantime Lieutenant Humphreys gallantly charg-
ed the left-the enemy keeping up a retre-ting
fire. Lieutenant Humphreys made several efforts
to bring them to close quarters, but in vain, they
having the advantage in celerity of movements.
As the enemy approached the hammock in re-
treating, the length of his front' was neces-
sarily diminished, and, as a consequence, the
different detachments of our troops were brought
nearer together. Lieutenant Humphreys at this
time observed one or two attempts to outflank our
left, which he as often defeated by a prompt
and judicious movement in that direction.
Having given Lieutenant Humphreys his or-
ders, I proceeded :o enter the hammock, moving
in an oblique direction towards the rear of the
enemy. The trees being sparse, and the under-
growth not sufficiently thick in many places to
conceal my men, I was obliged to move with great
caution and celerity. I soon found myself in the
enemy's rear, at the distance of about 150 yards.
I continued to move on until I reached the ex-
treme verge of the hammock, being at that time
about twenty paces in front of my company. It
now became necessary to examine more particu-
larly the position ot the enemy, in order to at-
tack him to the best advantage. I therefore
crept forward about ten or twelve paces up-
on a small knoll, and found myself in full
view of about fifty Indians, as many -more be-
ing concealed behind the brow of a small hill,
the nearest about twenty and the furthest about
seventy yards off. Their backs were towards me,
and they were eagerly and intently observing the
movements of the troops commanded by Lieuten-
ants Wheelock and Humphreys. The dragoons
under Lieutenant Wheelock having a few mo-
ments previously become warmly engaged, I re-
mained several seconds in this position, my meqn
still advancing, during which time I observed two
Indians, whom I supposed to be chiefs, from their
earnest conversation and gestures, which induced
me to believe they intended to make a movement
to the rear of Lieutenants Humphreys and
VWheelock, from whom they were as yet entirely
concealed. My men had now arrived at the verge
of the hammock, and I only required about five
paces more to enable me to pour a volley amongst
them before their knowing of my presence, when
we were unfortunately discovered. Being in ad-
vance of my men, and on elevated ground, and
my dress being somewhat conspicuous, I soon be-
came a general mark. Instantly I gave the com-
mand to charge, raised my rifle, and flashed it at
one of the supposed chiefs. The scene of panic and
confusion which ensued on the part of the Indians
baffles all description. Some fired at me without
taking aim, some fled without firing at all, and
some took to trees. My company were now clear
of the bushes, and charging handsomely, throwing
in shots wherever a good opportunity offered-
myself leading about twelve paces in advance. I
had proceeded only a few steps, when I felt a ter-
rible concussion against my shoulder-a great dif-
ficulty in breathing-and was seized with bleeding
at the mouth. I found that I was badly wounded,
but having strength to keep my feet, determined
to lead the charge as long as I could stand.
I turned to my men, observed to them I was
wounded, and ordered them to push ahead.
I had scarcely resumed my front, and advanced
three or four paces, when I was brought
to the ground by a severe wound through the
thigh, given by an Indian who was about 20
yards distant behind a tree. Sergeant Hall, my
orderly sergeant, came and asked whether he
should have me carried from the field; I told him
no-to charge with every man. It was not neces-
sary to repeat the order-the men sprang forward
at the word. As the rear of the company was
about passing me, one of my sergeants and sever-
al of my men came and urged me tobe moved to
a safer place; ordered then to leave me where
I was, and cha rh e. One of them asked me to lend
him my rifte; a d in a moment more I found my-
self alone. Ha ing remained in this situation up-
wards of an hour, and the battle being over, my
orderly sergeant, with several men, returned, and
informed me that the enemy were entirely driven
off and silenced. The remainder of the company,
under sergeant Bennett, moved to tie left, ar.d
joined Lieutenant Humphreys. Lieutenant
Wheelock and his command were the first to get
into action; my company were thle next; and
Lieutenant Humphreys and his command were en-
gaged immediately afterwards. Not movie than
five or six minut: s elapsed after the first fire upon
the dragoons before all three of our detachments
encountered the enemy.
As soon as the action became general, Major
Heileman left the pickets with a six-pounder
field piece, and advanced rapidly towards the
scene of action, but when h:e had nearly arrived


within reach of the enemy, some person reported
to him that.a body of Indians were moving towards
the rear of the pickets. Apprehending an attack
in that direction, and there being but a few team.
sters and citizens, besides the sick left within the
work, under the command of Lieut. Talcott,
Major Heileman deemed it necessary immediately
to return to the pickets with the gun; but finding
on his arrival that the alarm was false, he directed
Lieut. Talcott to proceed at full speed with the
fieldpiece to where the troops were still engaged
with the enemy. This order was promptly obey-
ed :by L:eut. Talcott, who arrived on the field
just in time to render good service, in finally
silencing the fire of the retreating eaemy, who,
after a few well directed shots from the artillery,
sought shelter in an extensive and dense ham-
mock, about two miles from the pickets, and
about a mile and a quarter from where the battle
first began.
The engagement lasted about an hour and a
quarter. The Indian force is supposed to have
been at least 250: ours, you will observe,amounted
to but 70 men, exclusive of those with the field-
piece, which arrived upon the field just at the close
of the action. Three of our men were severely
wounded, one of whom has since died, and
another has lost an arm; three others are slightly
wounded. Of the officers, I was the only one in-
jured, having received two severe wounds, one in
my left shoulder, and one through my left thigh.
The enemy it is believed suffered severely, but to
what -extent cannot be ascertained, as those dis-
abled by our fire were borne off by their retreating
comrades.
In closing this report, I feel great pleasure in
expressing in this public manner, at the unani-
mous request of the officers present, the high
sense entertained by us of the unremitted exer.
tions of Mr. George Center, a citizen of this
place, in rendering every assistance in hioaower,
both to the wounded and the well amongst our
troops, not only on the day of our engagement
with the enemy, but at all times. I cannot too
highly applaud his generous and disinterested'
conduct.
I am, sir, with much respect, your obedient
servant,

From a Miledgeille paper.
THE CHEEK WAR.
We have been politely furnished by a gentle-
mnian of this placei with the following extracts of
letters from an officer of the army:
"COLUMI0BUS, July 25, 1836.
An express arrived this morning from' below,
stating that 98 men under the command of Capt.
Calhoun, had an engagement with about 300 of
the enemy, ten miles from Roanoke, on the Lump-
kin road, yesterday afternoon; that five of our
men were killed and fifteen wounded; our men
had to retreat; the Indians are making their way
to Florida. Gen. Sanford immediately ordered ail
tlie disposableforce here to march in pursuit, con-
sisting of Capt Deleparie's, Sledge's, Byre's,
and Iostwick's companies of mounted men, and
despatched orders to Capt. Brewer's mounted
men twelve miles above, and to Capt. Greer's
company at West Point to follow. Maj. Hoxie's
battalion is ordered to embark on board the steam
boat Metamora, and proceed forthwith to the
nearest point to Chickasahatchie swamp, in order
to get in the advance of the enemy. Col.Mc-
Ginty at Fort Gaines is ordered to take them in
flank, as alsu the force at Fort McCrary, consist
ing of a parcel of Alford's battalion.
This looks like recommending the war in
earnest. Gen. Sanford will command this force
in person.'
"General Jesup has issued an order,directing nIl
the Indians to be at the emigrating camp by the
1st of August; all who are not there by that time
will be no longer fed by the United States, and
will be treated as hostile. This I view as an im-
portant order, and will produce important results,
either terminating the war or producing a bloody
one.
"We shall leave here by daylight, and will ride
night and day until we overtake the enemy. The
savage should be no longer permitted to pollute
our soil with his foot."
LuxPxrx, STEWA'T COUNTY,
"July 26,1836. S
"We arrived here to-night, and shall proceed
on our course to Florida, if necessary, in pursuit
of the Indians. Captain Jernigan engaged them
yesterday, about seven miles below here, and
killed several; he lost three men.
"The Indians '(the same body engaged on Sun-
day by Captain Calhoun) have made but slow pro-
gress. We hope to overtake them by the d.y
after to-morrow. Captain J. is yet in pursuit.
The Sunday fight otn tlhe enemy about twenty-
five or thirty, who a ere killed."
In addition to the above, the passengers who
arrived here on yesterday'morning in the stage
from Columbus, stated that information had been
received o! Captain Jernigan having had an en-

The following letter was written to Vincente Vi-

Jose Maria Tornel, Secretary of the War Depart-
ment. We publish it through tie liberality of a
respectable firmofithis city, by whom it was coin
municated:
To His Excelklncy {ie Gemeral-insrcief,

DEAi Flux)En: Tir ough the criminal apathy of
Congress and the complete nullityofGovernment,
it becomes necessato put in use a certain strata-
gem to save our country and ourselves. You will
have to lend a handto its execution, unless you
want to perish with your army, after witnessing
the utter destruction--of lie Republic, Such is
the boldness of our revolutionary radical., and the
weakness of Government, that from this time up
to the moment wh". you adopt this plan, you will
neither receive m6t or soldiers; you must, ere
uow, be convinced.f the truth of the first point;
as to the second, -a sore positive proof cannot b C
given than the sudd"n halt of the army of reserve;
Such, then, is the poper method of executing my
plan: ail opinions tust be generalized; above all,
a letter must be wrItent the Government of tins

army want a Dicta ar to be appointed, who will
remain in office xn ii Texas be restored to the re-
public. Who will be the man? Nomatter; per-
haps Valencia, for i s at the same time the hope
and fear of many.'':
This idea is not so much to put the plan into
execution, as to ge-apowerless Congress to invest
the Government ith all power to restrainthei
revolutionary spi'its, and enlist new soldiers to
carry on the wa" and maintain good order. I
have said enough reflect on my words; you will
fully appreciate tw timely is this measure, No
time is to be lost and, markme, keep carefully or
tear this letter, bitten by a friend on whom you
can rely. JOSE MARIA TORNEL.
This- plan is j ified by a pamphlet now circu-
lating through s ico and all the large cities ofI
the Mexican R luhic. It is entitled, "General
Santa Antis's ru1." That document is the ex-
clusive production .of the. Liberals, and is well
calculated to ram every honest mind agai-st the
Government. They/ want federalism-Tornel
does not want it, knd therefore he would like to
get a Dictator aa'bointed, whose power would be
sufficient to suppress those he styles revolutionary
spirits. -

A letter from afighlyrespectable source, dated
at Matamoras the g9th ult., says: "It is an unoubted

I think it .highly ecessary that the Government of

be informed of tliat presents itself so odious, in
my opinion, in ttie character o General Urrea,
thIe Mexican Comaander-in-chief, too unpardona-
ble to be overlooked, and should be immediately
attended to by thl United States.
We have at 'this momen here six or seven In-

mission to the Geertal, and have liad several pri-
vate meetings witli him. There exists no doubt
of the business they have come'on, and have made
propositions to th., General to join the Mexicans
against the Texii s, which appears now to be
concluded. As Colonel Waterchea is to be de-
spatched to-morrow to their camp, some distance
uip the river, whbe they have thirty or forty in
number, to be itsed as spies or runners. I had oc-
casion to call oin general Urrea at his quarters on
business, whenI lmet there three of the Indians,
with their(interpreter, making inquiries of thie
strength of theI tr ibe, the General being anxious
to ascertain what force thty could muster with tie
other tribes.

The British East India Company enjoyed, as is

two or three years. The good effects of tIle
abrogation of this monopoly are already felt in
various ways. IThere was in the first year of the

"Col. WVhitner had this letter written for you,
sir, and on the night of the 19th, his family fortu
nately being on a visit at Mr. J. C. McGhee's,
with the exception of one son, the Indians assailed
his house and committed most awful depredations.
There were two white men there, thie overseer,
who was ill in bed, and a young man by the name
of Summerale. Suimmerale with Col. W.'s little
son were at supper in the back piazza, when a
niegro in the passage exclaimed, the Indians!"
H[e sprang from the table, seized a double-bar-h
relied gun, and marched in front of the house; he
saw Indians to the number of thirty, and discharg-
ed both barrels at them, the Indians returned it
with a volley-he was wounded in both thighs,
but not dangerously; he then made his escape
round the house to the back of the garden. His
determination and bravery enabled Col. W.'s son,
the overoeer, and t negroes, all to make their es-
cape. They lay all night in the high growing
cotton, with the exception ofonemnegro man; they
shot him with five balls. They than rifled the
house of eiery article, ripping open tie beds,
emptying out the feathers, and making sacks of
the ticks to carry off their plunder-all wearing
apparel gone, even the clothes wet in the wash
tub. 'They were trailed, but have made their es-
cape, and it is supposed will come back in in-
creased numbers. Belp must come soon, or it 'will
be too late for Hicksatown. The females are flee-
ing in every direction, leaving their husbands to
defend their plantations.
The Indians came to Mr. McGhee's on the
night of the 1st, and stole a pair of carriage horses
from his stable. We have been too long neglect-

Thei Indians also stole nine mules and a horse
from Col. Whitner.

Sit: In obedience to your instructions to evacu-
ate the post of Fort Drane, if the commanding offi-
cer, in.exercislig a sound discretioN, s6o0uld deem
it necessary, I have the honor to report that the
commanding officer, Captain Merchant, of the 2d
regiment of artillery, in consequence of the large
and increasing sick report, determined to remove
the troops to this place. The movement com-
menced this day at eight o'clock, consisting of
twenty-two wagons, loaded with commissary and
quartermasters' stores, with an escort of a detach-
ment of twenty-six dragoons of thie 2d regmeit,
under the command of Captain Ashby, and thirty-
six men detailed from the different artillery com-
panies at the post; also a five and a half inch how-
itzer, under the charge of Lieutenant Whitly, 2d
artillery, making a force of 62 mon. On our ar-
rival at the We-li-ka Pond, within one mile of this
place, the discharge of several rifles apprised us
of the presence of the enemy. Captain Ashbyim-
mediately went with his dragoons in the direction
from which the fire was delivered,and scoured the
neighboring hanmmocks, without finding the enemy.
It is proper to state here, that in the first fire pri.
vate Holmes of the dragoons was dangerously
wounded in the abdomen, (since dead.) Pro-
ceeding on our route opposite a long hammock,
within a quarter of a mile of Micanopy, we were
attacked by a body of Indians estimated,frot what
we saw of them, and from their firing, to be about
250 strong. The firing commenced near the frout
attlnd on the right of the train, and was continued
through its whole length, a quarterofa mile. The
men returned the fire wits spirit and promptness
During the engagement, Capt. Ashby, (who, I
regret to say, was, soon after the commencement
of'it, severely woundL.d, but refused to leave the
field until loss of blood compelled him, finding
the enemy in great strength, and pressing ont us,
despatched a dragoon to this place for a reinforce-

was actively employed in removing tie wagons in
their direction to this place.
Of thle good conduct and courage of the troops,
it is sufficient to say that every ian did is duty.
My gallant commander, Captain Ashby, distin-
guished himself by his courage aud activity, and
did not leave the field, even after having received
a severe wound, until feebleness, fiom loss of
blood, made it absolutely necessary.
1st Lieut. Temple, 3d artillery, rendered the
most essential service by his timely arrival from
Fort Defimace, and the gallant mann-rin which
he charged the hammock. Lieut. Wihtby, who
had charge of the howitzer, served it in the most
efficient manner; and, from his prominent posi-
tion, was a mark for the enemy, wlich drew a
sharp fire on him, and disabled several of the

The report of tIhe late trial of Lord Melbourne is
copied from the London papers into several it this
country. Some of the details are of so disgusting
a character that no correct minded petsoi would
willingly permit the report lobe put into the bands
of the young members of his family. Moreover,
th~e testimony oftthe witnesses, which constitutes
the chief "interest" of the reptmt, came from two
housemaids of bad characte- and a drunken coach-


stant supporters ofyour administration; an admin-
istration which,we are proud to acknowledge, ias
been prompted by enlightened wisdom and patri-
otism, and which, it our history, will be distin-
guished fobr the benefits it has confer.-ed on out-
beloved country.
"When you were inaugurated, ourtforeign rela-
tions were in a most perplexed condition. The
commercial countries of Europe had committed
depredations on our commerce, in violation of the
laws of nations, and had, by one pretext or other,
withheld indemnification; and it became your ardu-
ous duty, through the instrumentality of judi-
cious treaties, to re-esablish thie harmony which
lad been interrupted between oui own Govern-
ment and several of thIe European powers, and
thereby obtain that justice which before lt it time
had been withheld. We rejuice that we have
lived to see these difficulties adjusted under your
administration.
"At home we had a large amount of national
debt to pay, which is now dicliarged. Intestine
dissensions wero subdued by your patriotic inea-
sures, and that Hydra to civil liberty, in the form
of a bank of the United States, with its hundred
millions of bank paper, and its consequently cor-
rupting influence, has been ctushed, and we trust
forever, by thie wise and energetic ideasures that
you have employed against it. We have heard it
again maid agiun stated, that a certain Mr. Wlitney
hiad by sonicnmeans o Ilier, obtained the ootm-
mand of some of the finds of the Treasury
without law, and against tie plain rules of con.

From the Burlington (Vt.) Sentinel. t
The 4th Congressionail District was fully repre- r
rented in the Convention holden at Cambridge on e
Tuesday last. More than one hundred delegates f
were in attentlance, all animated by the flattering v
prospect, every where presented, of the speedy 1'
political regeneration of Vermont. Itwillbeseen r
that CORNELIUS P. VAN NESS, late Minister r
to Spain, whom the people have delighted to
honor, and who Ihas conferred honor upon the
State, was put in nomination as a candidate to rep- t
resent this District in Congress. Mr. VAN NEs
is so well known, and his eminent talentsand pub- I
lic services are so justly appreciated by tIe peo- I
pie of this State, that any eulogy would be super-
fluous; and unless the freemen of this district are
blind to their own interests, and utterly regardless
of the honor of the State, thcy will come up to his
support, and secure his services in the National
Legislature. The enthusiasm with which his no-
mination is received by his political friends, std
the panic it has created among his foes, assure us
that he will be powerfully sustained.
There is no dioubt that Mr. VA NEss will soon
return to the United States, and it is not improba-
ble that he is now on his way hither. His bag-
gage arrived in New York some di)s aago, togeth-
er with two servants who went out with him from
this place, and who arrived here on Wednesday
evening. We are thus particular in stating these
facts, because our opponents will attempt to ex-
cite the belief that Mr. Van Ness is not about r'-
turning. But in addition to these circumstances,
we have satisfactory assurances that he would, at
all events, leave Spain as soon as lie heard of the
sailing of Mr. Eaton, the newly appointed Minis-
ter, and perhaps sooner.
Let, then, the numerous friends of this gentle-
man rely upon it that he is coming home, and act
with the vigor which the crisis demands.

FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CON-
VENTION.
A large number of delegates from the several
towns in the counties of Franklin, Orleas?, Grand-
Isle, atnd Chittenden, comprising the 4th Congres.
sional district, assembled at Cambridge, on the
26th inst. ThIe convention was called to order by
Danforth Mott, and, on motion, Roger Enos, ol
Irasburg, was appointed chairman, and D. A.
Smalley and L. [I. Nuliug, secretaries.
On motion, a coimmittee-, consisting of one dele-
gate from each town represented, was appointed
to present to the convention a suitable candidate
to represent this district in Congress.
The convention adjourneduntil tie report ofthe
committee should be received. The convention
met, atnd Judge Chittenden, chairman of the com-
mittee, reported the name of CORNELIUS P.,
VAN NESS; which report was accepted, and af-
ter remarks by several gentlemen, the nomination
was confirmed by-the convention.
On motion, a committee of three, consisting of
Nahum Stone, H. R. Beardsley, ard D. A. Smal-
ley, was appointed to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense of the convention, and to prepare an
address to the freemen of the 4lh Congressional
district.
The above named committee reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolved, That the eminent talents and patriotic
services of MARTIN VAN BURN and RICH-
ARD M. JOHNSON, entitle them to the confi
dence and cordial support ofthe great Democratic
Party of the Union, and that we will use all fair
atid honorable exertions to secure their election
to the offices for which they have been put in no-
mination.
Resolvild, That the superior capacity, extensive
information, and unbending integrity of CORNE-
LIUS P. VAN NESS, and the able and faithful
manner in which na has discharged the duties that
have devolved upon h;m in the high and responsi-
ble offices lie has filled, under the State and Gene-
ral Governments, entitle him to the support ofthe
Democratic freemen of this District, for a Repre-
sentative in Congress
Besolved, therefore, That we pledge ourselves to
make use of all fair and honorable means to en-
sure his election.
Resslved, That in the language of the venerable
and beloved President of the United States, "a
constitutional right to apply, and a necessity for
such application, are the true sources and limits
of the power to tax. When the taxes produce
more money than can be rightfully applied, the
appropriate remedy is reduction or repeal. To
continue a tax without necessity, and for the sake
of diistribution, is to subvert the principles of the
Constitution, and must end in destroying the liber-
ties of the people."
Resolved, That we cordially approve of the nomi-
nationi made by the late State Convention at

VISIT OF THE PRESIDENt OF THE UNI-
TED STATES.
At an early hour on Monday morning, the vari-
ous roads leading into town wtyre thronged with
people on horseback, and the favorable indications
of a fine-day gave promise of in unusually large
concourse of citizens from the neighboring towns
and country. At eight o'clock, a very charge par-
ty of gentlemen, mounted upon fine horses, and
arranged in military order by Col. Willet (Marshal
of thie day) and his assistant, eft town to meet
the President, having learned that he had sojourn-
ed the nigbt previous wtth his old friend, Mr.
Gammon of Sullivan counts, atd would start fo-

seven tor eight miles f-m thse tows, the proces-
sion met the Presilent, accompanied by his Secre-
tary, (Major Donelsou,) anda number of the citi-
zens of'Blountville and vicinity. He was on horse-
back, and seemed in fine alth and spirits. The
horsemen took open order on the right and left of
the road, and when the President had reached the
most central position, Mt. Kennety advanced to-
wards him, and in conformiry with the appoint-
ment by the meeting of Satu-day, delivered to hin
a brief, btt feeling arad eloquent address, of which

throughout our widely extended country, o? in
reference to that peculiar affection which has been
entertained by the people of this country for you,
for early half a century. If your patriotic ser.
vices and sacrifice, through a long and eventful
ife, could cease to be felt elsewhere as having con
erred singular benefits upon your country, they
never can be forgotten in tie county of Washing.
on, where you first become a resident of the
State, and, with many of our forefathers, one of
thlie early pioneers of Tennessee.
"It can be hardly necessary to state, that as we i
have, when fail ly represented, unflinchingly stood
by you heretofore, we shall hereafter be found
so fatr as we are concerned, among- your steady
supporters during the remainder ofyour adminis-
tration, of such measures as shall redound to the
permanent welfare of our country, and your indi-
vidual famea"
The Pi resident's reply was as filo\ws:
"Sin: The cheering we-chome given me en this
occasion by the citizens ofJonesbororsgh and its
vicinity, is received with feelings of le deepest
sensibility. Accompanied as it has been by the
sentiments you have just declared, it excites re-
flections in my bosom which I fear any language
which I can employ will but inadequately express.
Fort)y-eighc years have passed away since I first
came to this h-,ppy land. Forty years ago, I was
its sole representative in Congress; and now to
learn through the many political tests to which my
life has been since subjected, there has been no
change in the confidence and partiality which its
inhabitants so early and so generously bestowed
upon me, is an honor which fills-my heart with
emotions of gratitude and thankfulness to that
Providence in whose hands are tle destinies ofus
all. Allow me to assure you, sir, that at no former
period have I been so deeply penetrated by the
sense of my obligations to tle country, in whose
service I have speht a great portion of my life,
and witnessed the most of those political events
which have influenced its prosperity.
making my views -of public duty from the
school of the revolution, by which we achieved
our liberties, I have endeavored to' follow the
lights afforded by the examples of the patriots
who founded and who reformed our system of
Government. 'If I have been so far successful as
to have done nothing to impair their sacred work,
and shall leave, st the close-of my administration,
otur country and its fiee institutions in the happy
state you have described, I shall feel myself fortu.
nate far beyond my merits. The applause you
have bestowed upon me will be due to the people
whose firmness, intelligence, and virtue, have up-
held and stimulated my exertions.
You have dulone me butjustice, sir, in refusing
to ere-dit the declarations which have been made
respecting the agency ascribed to Mr. Whitney in
the management antd possession of the public
funds. These declarations have been contradict-
ed by frequent official reports, and are known to
be false by any one at all conversant with the
proceedings of the session of Congress which has
just closed. The rumors which have prevailed
on the subject are like many other fabrications
which have been put afloat wiLh the view of pre-
judlicing tihe republican cause, and slandering the
character of those who have been bold enough to
expose the corruptiors of the Bank of-the United
States.
"I beg leave to repeat my hearty thanks for
the cordial reception given me by the citizens of
Washington, and to assure them that I meet them
as an old friend, identified with all their fortunes
by the mostsacred of ties."
After this ceremony, the President rode forward
to the right of the corps of escort, when the latter
formed in the rear, and the procession in this order
moved onward to the town. In the mean time,
the number of people in the streets swelled to a
vast throng-all glowing with impatience to wel-
come the immortal JACKSON. A well arranged
alignment on foot was formed from the entrance
of the Blountville road as far down tie street as
the post office, and as the President and escort ap-
proached, the "spirit-stirring drum and fife" an-
notunced the gratifying fact. Every head was
uncoveied-every heart spoke out its grateful
welcome, as the venerable man pasedin front of
the line of citizens. *At Dr. Chester's hotel, the
escorting procession halted, and the President was
conducted in by his friends. The indications of
the popular feeling at this moment, were imposing.
ly affecting. The moistened eyes of the old men
-told, in voiceless eloquence, of a deep emotioh-
and the flush of satisfaction plainly perceptible in
the faces of thie throng that surrounded the hotel;
the heart dictated expressions, from hundreds, of
love for the "old Chief"-all found a sympathetic
response in every generous bosom. Shortly after-
w.irdl, the President appeared on lIe poc'i in front
of the hotel, and the multitude advancc-d, in good

their excellent, age-worn friend and fellow-citizen.
A Sr' aILLsTRATIo OFv THE ADVANTAGE e_'S FROM
ROWING.- "Alibeau, having a clear viet of the
King, aimed at his head, and it was immediately
ascertained that his ball passed across the very
spot which the King's head had occupied but a
moment before he fired. But, happily for the
citizen King, he was engaged at the moment in
bowing to the National Guard, and the rapid mo-
tion of his head, up and down, was the means of
saving him from a danger which ae little appre-
hended was so imminent. Some ofth. wadding
was found in his hair; the ball lodged in the op-
posite side of the carriage."

A very distressing accident occurred in Green
ville, North Carolina, a few days ago, by reason of
the bursting of a cannon among a number of per-
sons whlo were celebrating an election triumph.
It appears that the piece had been discharged,
until heated, and with a view of increasing the re-
port, the persons who had the possession of it
were engaged in ramming down brickbats upon
the cartridge. Anumberoftliebyslanders wlite

(it not being mounted on a gum carriage,) and

satisfaction in nearly every part of the

ord IPatriot thus speaks of it:


'sident has directed the Secretary of
, to issue a Circular forbidding the re- -

public lands after the 15th of August
in case ofactual settlers, who may pay
December next. Thisis a bold and
sure, and will scatter dismay among
ors. The reasons are given in the
ch we publish below. It will go to
western States with a hard currency,
hem from the necessity of adopting
em of banking, so hostile to every
Democracy,"


A joint stock company has been formed at Pa
ris, with a capital of five hundred thousand francs
for the purpose of publishing editions of standard
works, and which are published in a slyle o
magnificence hitherto unknown, and at the low

it is stated that the works of Moliere, splendidly
printed, aid with eight hundred vignette engrav

with five hundred and ninety-three engravings, at
fifteen francs; a collection of Latin authors, with a
French translation, in thirty volumes, and contain-
ing as much as two hundred common volumes, is
sold at three hundred francs.
The publication of those works is not confined
to the French language, but they will appear in
several foreign languages, with the French en-
gravings, so that the benefits resulting from thel
formation of the society are by no means exclu-
sive and national; for -the German, Italian, Span-
iard, Englishman, and American, will all be
benefited; and, indeed, every nation may be, that
is literary and liberal enough to pay for tile cost
of printing, as the engravings are adapted, of
course, to all tastes and all languages. An Eng-
lish edition of Gil Blas is about to be published,
or has been, in London, with the French en-
gravings.
Why cannot a society of this description be
formed in the United States? We know of no-
thing to prevent it, and .many reasons mnght be
given why it could beidone; and, perhaps, not the
least potent is, that the stock itself would be
valuable, and would yield, we have little doubt, as
good dividends as canals and railroads in general.
If a few enterprising booksellers would identify
themselves with the experiment, it would succeed
beyond doubt; and if, by possibility, it should not,
the loss sustained would not be great, as the
capital need not exceed one or two hundred
thousand dollars. And to what purpose more
elegant or useful, or laudable, could that sum be
applied, than to a diffusion of knowledge and the
promotion of literature?
I So popular are the editions of the works pub-
lished by the company in" France, that, according
to the Paris National, near eight thousand copies
of the first numbers of Don Quix6tte were sold in
two days.
A similar enterprise is now in successful opera-
tion at Havre, and the most material difference is,
we believe, that the works published on account
of the Literary Pantheon .(as the Havre establish-
ment is called) are without engravings. Sixty-
six volumes have appeared of the most approved
and popular works, the subjects being historical,
religious, philosophical, dramatic, poetical, and
polygraphical. Guieciardini's History of Italy, a
voluminous and expensive work, as published
generally, appears in one volume; Gibbon's Ro-
man Empire in two; all the historical works of
Robertson in two, (generally in ten, octavo,) tlhe
works of Fenelon in three, of Moliere in one, of
Rabelais in one, of Voltaire in twelve, (heretofore
rom forty to one hundred and twenty.) The
volumes are all octr.voes, and the price of each
en francs, which is a reduction, upon an average,
of not less than three or four hundred per cent.
The Harpers and others have done much of
ate years in this country, towards multiplying
and cheapening valuable works in various depart-
ments of literature, but the French method of
attaining those desirabile objects, number and
cheapness, appears to be, of all others, the most
practicable and the most eligible, as it involves no
hazard to individuals. If the.company sustains a
oss, it is so inconsiderable, when divided among
he stockholders, that it can occasion but little
inconvenience and no uneasiness,

LORD MELBOURNE.
The London Morning Chronicle of the 23d of
June contains a full report of the trial in the case
if crime. con. in which this nobleman, the British
Premier, was defendant, and the Hon. Mr. Nor-
on, a brother of Lord Grantley, plaintiff. The
ntcrest that had been excited was very great, not
only on account of the high standing of all the
parties, but, by accident or design, the affair had
assumed a political aspect, and the friends of the
ministerr asserted that the whole concern was a
political persecution, got up tnder the mask of a
pretended private delinquency: and the result
will no doubt couifirm them in this opinion. The I
trial commenced on thee'2d of June, at half past
nine, A. M., and continued, with a recess of half
in hour only, until half past eleven, P. M. The
ury, after consulting a few moments, gave a ver-
dict for the defendant without retiring from the
box. The court-room was crowded to suffoca-
tion, and there was a great number of persons out-
side who could not squeeze or elbow their way
into the interior.
The witnesses were principally servants-some
of them discarded ones, too, who had been turned
iway for misconduct. A part of thiei~ testimony
was decidedly unfavorable to the lady, (Mrs.
Norton,) and had it been believed by the jury, the
rial could hardly have resulted in a verdict for his
ordship, the defendant. The examinations, and
cross examinations, were severe and searching;
and a perusal of them can scarcely fail to leave
upon the mind the impression, that the material
witnesses had been tampered with and drilled, if
not actually suborned; not by the honorable
plaintiff, we presume, but by so'e of the subor-
dinate law agents who had been employed to pre-
pare the cause for trial.
If the lady is innocent, (and public opinion, we
suppose, will presume her so,) after a legal scrutiny
has failed to establish her guilt, she of course will
resume her station in society, to which she had
been a:n ornament and an honor. She is well
known in the literary world as an authoress of no
small share of talent and of considerable populari-
ty. Many articles from her pen have appeared
in this country, and have elicited, we believe, the
approbation of ttose who have read them. She
is of the Sheridan family, many of which have
been famous for their talents, wit, and eccentrici-
tles. ShIe has beauty and grace as well as talents;
and had his lordship, who hlias the affairs of thee


British empire on his shoulders, succumbed to her
charm, he might have taken for his motto, All
far love, or the world well lost."
But the husband! If he believes in the guilt of
his wife, (and of that there seems to be no doubt,
for the defendant's counsel charge him with no-
thing worse than of being made "a tool, and that
he had been abused for party and political purpose.


er es," if lie believes in the guilt of his wife, hov
st- indescribably miserable must he be-
Standing alone by his desolate health,
is Where althis household goods lay shivered around him.
n- The great length of the trial puts it out of ou
ht power to give even an extract from it of length]
ts enough to be interesting; but for the benefit 0
s those who may have an interest in understanding
a- what the law is in such cases, we quote a few line
)e from the charge, to the jury, of the judge who pre
r- sided at the trial. They express in a few word
11 the duty of a jury, and show at the same time
:s what kind of proof is necessary to secure a ver
il diet for a plaintiff.-" Having thus recapitulates
h the evidence which has been adduced, (says the
o judge,) he had only to leave the facts stated by
n the various witnesses to the good sense and tern
n- per-ate discretion of the jury. They ought not
to rely implicitly on facts as bearing against the de-
fendant, if in their,opinion those facts were as
capable of one interpretation as another. They
- should look guardedly at the various points of the
evidence, making up their own minds where they
d thought it of a conclusive nature, and where not
f so; and they should then ask their consciences
- whether they should arrive at the conclusion, that
Lord Melbourne has1 committed adultery with the
wife of Mr. Norton. If, looking at the bulk of
y the evidence with that caution which the case de-
manded, the conviction were to remain upon their
t minds that such had been the fact, they should
give a verdict for the plaintiff. If, on the other
hand, they were to come to 'the conviction that
the facts alleged to have taken place between the
parties were such as did not bear out the charge
against the defendant, then they should undoubt-
edly acquit him."

Great Failure at Buffalo.-The news of the fail-
ure of Benjamin Rathbun, at Buffalo, which was
received this morning, caused a very unusual sen-
sation in Wall street. His affairs have for months'
past been the subject of much speculation, and
Ihis notts, endorsed by some ten or twelve of the
best names in that city, have been crowded upon
the market at the enormous discount of three or
four per cent. a month. They have served for the
quotations of some of e of our neighbors in giving the
condition of the money market. The credit of every
body in Buffalo of course became deeply impli-
cated, and it was said repeatedlythat, if "Rathbun
failed, all Buffalo must fail."-Jy. Y. Journal of
Commerce, Aug. 6.
NoTE.-The above mode of showing the condi-
tion of the money market, and grounding on it
tirades of abuse against the Treasury and the ad-
ministration, is very happily exposed. Webb and
Noah, it is hoped, will take warning from it.

From the following it would seem that the op-
position are finding out the imposture of their
military candidate; Always an imbecile, and vain
beyond endurance, dotage, and his course of
life at the North Bend and its neighborhood, have
rendered him perfectly contemptible.
From the PNew York Times.
A VIsIT To Gat. HanPRiso-.-A number of
Whig gentlemen, opposed to Mr. Van Buren,
and in favor of Harrison, recently paid a visit to
the Farmer of North Bend. They had formed,
from the glowing account of the Whig journals,
a most favorable idea of the intellect of the great
available. They sought him, found him, covers
ed with him, and left him, sickened with his im-
becility and egotism, and in no good humor with
themselves at the reflection that they had been
most outrageously humbugged by a portion of
their Whig brethren. The subjoined account of
this interesting interview is from the Cincinnati
Republican:
"VAN BUREN TRICKS."-PEOPLE'S ECHO.
Mr. Ramsay,--Sir: Having accidently observed
in the People's Echo," a contradiction of a cer-
tain rumor, in reference to the visit of a number of
g-intlemen from the east to Gen. Harr.son, under
the above caption, and calling upon me as the gen-
tleman still remaining in Cincinnati, to refute it,
I have been induced to make the following state-
ment of facts, without regard to the rumors cir-
culated by the Magician's friends, or the still more
unauthorized contradiction of the partisans of the
Petticoat Hero. Imprimis, a number of gentle-
men from Boston, New Yolk, Philadelphia, and
some of the western States, agreed to make
a visit, during their sojourn in Cincinnati, to
General Harrison, whose pretensions to tihe
Presidential CiChair they zealously advocated,
none more warmly and sincerely than myself.
Arrangements were made for the introduction,
.nd, in due time, myself and Messrs. with
becoming formality, bowed to the General. Af-
ter a few moments' conversation with the General,
in which he betrayed great imbecility and egotism,
we left him in disgust: the other gentlemen, in
half an hour afterwards, were introduced by
me, with the like result. All of them, except
one, expressed a determination to. abandon the
"old Granny," and advocate the election of any
other man than Harrison, some of them openly
avowing their intention to support Mr. Van Bu-
ren. The writer of this was induced from the
representations of his brother, a resi-lent of Cin-
cinnati,_and who is s ill a misguided follower of
Harrison, to take an active part ins getting up a
meeting in Philadelphia in behalf of the General-
has served upon several important committees,
and sacrificed much time to rally the whigs in his
support.
The writer leaves his own name and residence,
together with the names of the other gentlemen,
with the editor of the Republican, which the in-
credulous Mr. Wood or any of his party may ex-
amine, and determine for themselves.
This is not the only instance in which honest
men of the whig party have turned away with dis-
gust and loathing for their party nominee. I will,
for the especial accommodation of Mr. Wood, if
he wishes it, furnish several other instances.
SR. O'B.
The author of the foregoing communication is
from Philadelphia, an.l has heretofore acted within
the opposition, was among tlhe first to espouse the
cause of General Harrison, and tas, until since his
arrival in Cincinnati, Sere tary of the Democratic
Whig Committee of Superintendence for the city
of Philadelphia, Chairman of the Committee to
draft addresses, Secretary of the Whig Associa-
tion of the Upper Delaware Ward, and one of the
committee on banners and placards. The gentle-
men alluded to in his communication (18 in uum-
ber,) were mostly gentlemen of high intellectual
standing, and of commanding influence in their
respective neighborhoods. They were all strong-
ly opposed to the election of Mr. Van Butlen, aol
as strongly in favor of General Harrison's election.
The communication was furnished by the author
without our solicitation, and is published at his
own request. It may be well enough, however,
to state that it was elicited by the following para-
graph from a weekly paper called the Echo, which
is edited by a renegade Jackson man, and nauseates
every Saturday evening ,the delicate stomachs of
some hundred or two Whigs, who, while they


despise the dose, swallow it something in the style
that a man swallows poison administered by a
Quack.

INDIAN FRAUDS AND COLLECTOR OF
MOBILE.
Colonel Jmo. B. HooAN of this city, late Inves-
tigating Agent of fiauds in the sales of Creek
lands, has received Irom Washington a commis-
sion as collector of the port, in the place of Col.
George W. Owen, resigned.
This appointment speaks distinctly for the
ground which the administration takes in regard
to the land stealers ani speculators, in the Indian
nation, to whose sordid and heartless schemes, the
late Indian war owes so much of its extent and
exasperation, if it did not spring front them al-
together. It was the zeal of Colonel HloAN, ex-
posing their villanies, which kindled so much re-
sentment Against him, among the speculators and
-heir party, and his is the report and documents
which have been communicated to Congress and
produced there such just and virtuous horrorat
tbe profligacy of the transactions developed. His
immediate appointment to an office of trust, by


the President, speaks, decisively of the support
which General JAcxKso.is determined to give to 0f LOTHS AND CASSIMERES.-We have re-

ceding numbers, and each offer must embrace all

ber embraced in each offer, comprising a fair pro-

tive commandants,) must be got out by the moulds

ted and closed, which reservations, respectively,
