fIC/’Read General Jackson’s letter and Mr. Cal
lioun’s speech. The old General, regardless c
the dignity of his own station, or the station c
others, appears determined to bully every bod'
who dares say a word about his administration
He now stoops to the degrading business of hunt
ing up certificates to prove that a member of tin
Senate has dared to speak about the purity 0
his administration, and then calls upon him eith
•erto retract the words or prefer an impeachment
against him! How must the General and his cer
tificate men feel after the testimony of Messrs,
1 Grundy and Walker! The triumph of Mr. Cal
houn is complete!
MACON CITY LOTS.
Wo arc informed by the Macon Messenger,
(says the Southern Recorder of Tuesday last,)
that 17ft City Lots recently sold in that city, pro
ducing the aggregate amount of one hundred and
ten thousand dollars. The stylo of our cofcmpo
rary evidently becomes more buoyant as it adds,
that this amount will relieve the city from debt,
and leave it twenty-five hundred shares of Cen
tral Rail Road Stock as a permanent source of
revenue. A very comfortable idea for our Macon
neighbors, and one that tells as loudly (in the
sale) for the estimated impor'ance ot the town, as
it does for the plenary state of their public purse.
-Success to out beautiful and prosperous r.eigh
ibor.
IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA.
The Charleston Mercury of yesterday, contains
(the following important intelligence, brought to
'that city by the Schooner Samuel 8. Mills, from
St. Augustine:
Col. Andrews, U. S. A., arrived, express, at St.
Augustine, on the 11th inst., and states that Gen.
Jcsup had met the Indians, and had an engage
ment with them which lasted two days. On the
second day, Jumper and Alligator came in with
a flag of truce, and surrendered themselves. They
represented the Indians as in a distressed slate,
and desirous of peace.
£ In the engagement only four U. S. Soldiers
were killed. One hundred Indians and Negroes
were captured.
The 18th inst. was appointed by Jumper and
Alicatob for a treaty to be made at Dade’s battle
ground, and these Chiefs had sent out expresses
to that end among the Indians. They staled
that Powell or Oceola was on an island in the
Withlacoochce, with about 150 followers, and
they supposed ho would come to terms. They
promised, in case of his refusal, to point out whore
he was—and there was to be a suspension of hos ■
tilitics until after the 18th, the day appointed for
the Treaty.
INDEPENDENCE OF THE PRESS.
We take groat pleasure in copying into our
columns, and calling the attention of our readers
to the manly and independent remarks of the
Miner’s Recorder, of Saturday last, upon the
subject of the appointment of Dishop to the Tcl
lership of the Central Bank. Many persons
thought our remarks about Bishop 100 harsh, and
that we applied epithets to him which he did not
deserve, but it will bo seen that Mr. Gathright, a
Union man, Speaks of his “ atrocities'’ and de
nounces him as a “ contemner of the laws of
his country” who “ will meet the reward due to
his infamous and disgraceful conduct.” This
course on the part of the Minor’s Recorder, is in
highest degree honorable and manly compared
with skulking and dodging course of Mr. Guicu,
who has played deaf and dumb upon the subject
ever since the appointment was made.
It will also be seen, by the following article from
the Miner’s Recorder of the same date, that one of
the unfortunate individuals who was fired upon
by Bishop and his clan, in January last, has since
died of his wounds! Is not this too bad 1 Is it
not too bad, that such a villain has become the
protege of the Governor of our State, and of the
Directors of t tho Central Bank 1 If ever there
was a time for reforming such men out of power,
now is that time. They cannot plead ignorance
of Bishop’s character, for it has been painted to
them by friend and foe.
{£)■ MURDER !
In our paper of the 14th ult. we gave a very
brief notice of a difficulty that cicuretl betwen
WILLIAM N. BISHOP, and some fifteen or
twenty citizens of Murray country, at Spring Place
on the Gth of January last; and mentioned that
four of the citizens fired upon by Bishop and his
company were wounded, one, it was said mor
tally, that one we understand, from a citizen of
Murray county, ’died a few days since of tbs
wound ho received on that occasion. For the
sake of Bishop’s neck, if no more, we sincerely
hope it is not so, but our informant says it is cer
tainly true.
[from our correspondence.]
. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
Wo have had stormy times since I last wrote
to you. There has been more excitement in
both branches of Congress, but particularly a
mong the members of the House, than ever I
have known to exist at any time during the whole
period of ray residence here. I informed you of
the course of Mr. John Q. Adams, and the rcso
j] lutions of censure upon him which were under
Consideration on Monday and Tuesday. The
•subject was resumed on Thursday, and an ani
mated but extremely desultory discussion arose,
accompanied with great confusion and excite
ment, at the end of which the resolutions were
so changed as to be in this form.
Ist. Resolved, That any member who shall
hereafter present any petition from slaves to this
House, shall bo considered as regardless of the
feelings of the House, of the rights of the South
ern Stales, and unfriendly to the Union.
3d. Resolved, That the Hon. John Quincy
Adams, having disclamed all design of doing any
thing disrespectful to the House, and having
avowed his intention not to offer to present tin
petition if the House were of opinion that i
, oU ght not to be presented. Therefore, all furthei
proceedings in regard to his conduct now cease.
Both of these resolutions were rejected—th«
first by a small majority of 92 Ayes to 105 Nayi
the second by a vote of 83 Ayes to 137 Nays
Immense excitement prevailed in the Housi
when this result was announced. The Hous
was about to adjourn, but Mr. Wise rose am
obtained leave to bring i„ a report from the
, Investigating Committee, of which he is chai r
man accompanied with a resolution that as
™ R ®“ ben M ’ U hltne y had peremptorily declin-
S " .I 0 a “ e, ’ d t! f Committee to give evidence,
or ■ hough regularly summoned, the fact be
„ comrnun icated to the House, so that such order
r. be taken as comported with the dignity
r and honor of the House. The hour being
’ , ’ the sub J ect "'as postponed till yesterday
ol when it was taken up as the first business ill
0 ou.er. Ms, Lincoln of Mass, a member of the
ly committee, offered resolutions declaring that
n. Whitney had been guilty of a contempt to
t- the Committee and the House, and that his
10 declaration that he would not attend to the
Jf summons the House had redressed his
i- supposed wrongs, was contumacious, arrogant,
it and offensive, and concluding with the order
r- that the Sergeant-at-Arms take into custody
’■ tbe person of the said U. M. w., and bring
I- him to the bar of the House, to answer fur the
alleged contempt. The subject occupied the
attention of the House during the whole day,
and finally the resolutions in a modified form
’ were passed. The Speaker issued his warrant
. to the Sergeant-at-Arms accordingly, and
. Whitney yesterday was taken into tile custody
of that officer.
‘ 1,1 tbe mean time, so groat was the excitement
’> produced by the vote on Thursday evening, on
’ 1,10 first resolution, which I have given above,
j- that llio whole Southern Delegation held a mcct
-1 in S m one of the committee rooms, to consider
3 what s teps ought to he taken. Yesterday after
-3 noon il " as given out that the Northern repre
sentatives did not mean by the vote that had been
given, to indicate that they maintained the right
of slaves to petition—and that if that question
was fairly put to them, they would give such a de
cision as would he satisfactory to the South. One
5 ol the Northern“dGugh faces,” who found tb.a ’-1
, vote of Thursday was telling powerfully against
, the party, moved to reconsider the vote. It was
done and then, instead of taking the sense of
, the House again on that question, a proposi
, tion entirely different was presented. Again
a long discussion arose, and after spending the
whole day, the House finally adapted, by an
overwhelming majority, a resolution that the
Slaves of this Union do not possess the right of
petition, as secured to the people of (ho United
States by the Constitution. Ayes 162—Noes
18. The House then adjourned.
Whitney will bo brought up on Monday, to
answer for the alleged contempt.
The Land bill of Mr. Walker has finally pass
ed the Senate. When it came up for its third
reading, Mr. Calhoun presented to the Senate a
most’oxtraordinary letter, of which I send you a
copy, which was addressed to him by the Presi
dent, Mr, Calhoun spoke in indignant terms of
this outrage on bis privilege as a Senator; but
said he would suggest no step to be taken by the
majority. Not one of them had the courage or
common manliness to say a word in vindication
of the independence of the body, or of their own
individual rights.
The Treasury Circular has been repealed!
The bill designating and limiting the funds re
ceivable in payment of the revenues of the Uni
ted States having been passed by a vote of 42 to
5. This measure puts down all Benton’s absurd
specie schemes at a blow.
From the Minor’s Recorder, Feb. 11.
WILLIAM N. BISHOP.
The report of the elevation of this peculiarly
fortunate bully to the office of Teller of the Cen
tral Bank of Georgia, which has so jhstly called
forth a universal expression ofindignation through
out the whole up country, is confirmed by the
Standard of Union of the 31st ult. We look
upon it, let others think of it as they may, as a
signally unfortunate step, not only to those who
conferred the appointment, be their motives how
ever pure or impure, but also to the Union party,
thousands of whose members, from an honest
conviction of their minds, have battled it with
them in the hotly contested field of strife in the
maintenance of those 'sacred piinciples upon
, which they religiously believe our admirable form
of Government was established, and can alone he
sustained and perpetuated. Politicians, and even
parlies, now a-days arc not judged by their prin
ciples, but by their conduct. And, therefore,
whatever censure is justly attached to this ap
pointment, will fall, with equal force upon the
heads of the Union party as well as of those who
conferred it. They cannotjustify the act under
the pica ofignorance ofßishop’s moral charac
ter, or the many crimes with which ho then and
now stands charged in the Superior Court of
Murray county, because they have repeatedly
been promulgated, without exagcralion, to the
world. If they have been mis-lcd, as wo verily
believe they have been, by a little peculiarly sel
fish dynasty, linked together by selfish ami sor
did motives, then it betrays an imbecility and a
credulity wholly incompatible with the high and
responsible station they occupy. But if from
other causes, then indeed may the people begin
to tremble for the safety of the institution in
■ which the whole of their public funds are deposi
ted. In either case, the act calls loudly for re
form, short of which the people cannot, ought
not, nor will not be satisfied. If our anticipa
tions arc verified, as we honestly and conscien
tiously believe |thoy ought and will be, they can
not say you did not warn us, we did warn you,
but you hooded not, the fault is yours and not
ours, and therefore be the consequences upon
your skirls and not ours.
The public may, or it may not believe the state
ments made with regard to the attrocitics of that
man. But the day is coming, when that con
temner of the laws of his count!y, will meet toe
; reward due his infamous and disgraceful conduct.
f MESSAGE IN RELATION TO MEXICO.
In Senate, February 7, 1837.
The following message was received from the
President of the United States, through Mr. J ack
! son, his private Secretary;
■ Jo the Senate of the United Stairs :
f At the beginning of this session Congress was
informed that our claims upon Mexico had not
been adjusted, but that, notwithstanding the irn
' tating ollcct upon her councils of the movements
in Texas, I hoped, by great forbearance, to avoid
1 the necessity of again bringing the subject of them
to your notice. That hope has been disappointed.
S Having in vain urged upon that Government the
5 justice of those claims, and my indispensable ob
-- ligation to insist that there should be “no further
delay in the acknowledgement, if not 111 the redress
v of the injuries complained of,” my duty requires
* that the whole subject should be presented, as it
y now is, for the action of Congress, whose exclu
g sive right it is to decide on the further measures
ic of redress to bo employed. The length of time
since some of the injuries have been committed,
the repeated amd unavailing apphcalmns for
!r dress, the wanton character ol some of the out
rages upon the property and persons of our citi
ic zens upon the officers and flag of the L ruled
States, independent of recent insults to this Gov
" eminent and people by the ate Extraordmary
’ 8- Mexican Minister, would justify, in the eyes of all
ic nations immediate war. That remedy, however,
sc should not be used by just and generous nations,
id confiding in their strength for injuries committed,
ie if it can be honorably avoided; and it has occui
r- red to me that, considering the present embarrass
lS ed condition of that country, we should act will
both wisdom and moderation, by giving to Mcxi
* co one more opportunity to atone for tbo past
before we take redress into our own hands,
c To avoid all misconceptions on the part 0
T Mexico, as well as to protect our own nations
character from reproach, this opportunity shouh
‘ be given, with the avowed design and full prepa
S’ ration to take immediate satisfaction if it shouh
y not he obtained on a repetition of the demand foi
a it. To this end I recommend that an act be pass
c ed authorizing reprisals,JandThe use ofthe nava
force of the United States by the Executive a
gainst Mexico, to enforce them, in the event of 0
3 refusal by tbe Mexican Government, to come to
s an amicable adjustment of the matters in contra
, versy between between us, upon another demand
s thereof made from on board one of our vessels ol
war on the coast of Mexico.
> The documents herewith transmitted, with those
r accompanying my message in answer to a call ot
the House of Representatives of the I7lh ultimo,
r will enable Congress to judge of the propriety of
’ llio course heretofore pursued, and to decide up
; on the necessity of that now recommended.
; If those views should fail to meet the concur
, reuse of Congress, and that body bo able to find
, in the condition of the afl’airs between the two
countries, ns disclosed by the accompanying doc
uments, with those icferred to, any well-ground
i ed reasons to hope that an adjustment of the con
troversy between them can be effected without a
resort to tbo measures I have felt it my duly to
recommend, they may lie assured of my co-opera
tion in any other course that shall be deemed ho
norable and proper. *

INDIAN NEWS.
In a postscript to the Columbus Sentinel, of the
9lh instant, wo find the following, the latest in
telligence in relation to the Creeks:
Copy of a letter from a volunteer against the Creek
Indians, to his brother in this city, dated
Tuskegek, Feb. S, 1837.
Dear Brother: We are now.at this place (or
near it) with about 140 men, who joined us not
far below here. Maj. Jcrnigan first joined be
fore we arrived here, and with our companies we
took 87 Indians and 73 stand of arms—hut by the
death of one Indian only. We expected a very
severe battle; but taking them so unexpectedly,
and surrounding the Big Swamp, near which
they were encamped, in such a complete manner
that the consequence was not worse than above
stated. Gen. Wellborn had left two days before
wo arrived here, for a scout down the Cowaggoe.
The Indians which wc took were those who fought
Wellborn,'and arc now all in jail here. All will be
settled in two weeks, hulfnot without severe times.
We intend to take all the Indians who pretend
to he friendly and place them under guaid.and
the balance wo will kill as wo find them.
In great haste.
Ship Pioneer, of Philadelphia. —Wchavo
seen a letter from Montevideo, dated the last of
November, which states that the ship Pioneer,
Coxe, of Philadelphia, struck on a wreck in the
harbor of Montevideo, the 28th Nov. and would
probably be condemned. The P. was bound to
Havana, It is presumed she had little or no car
go on board at the time.
Previous letters to the owners say that the Pio

had been landed without damage, and the vessel
would probably bo repaired.— Phil. Gazelle.
Heiiiiirkx of IMr. Cuiliuiiu, 011 (In- pas
sago of fixe bill to limit the sales of
public lands.
In Senate, Feb. 9,1837.
Mr. Calhoun said, I have received, within
the last forty-eight hours, a communication
from the Chief Magistrate, connected with the
bill now before the Senate, of such a nature
that duty to myself, ns well as to this body,
renders it necessary that I should lay it before
the Senate.
[Here Mr. C. sent to the Secretary the let
or, which was read as follows :)
Washington, Fob. 7,1837. ,
Sir : In the Globe ol tho Gth inst., I find
the report of a spoecli made by you on the
4th upon llio land bill, which contains tho fol
lowing passages, viz:
“ Was it not notorious that the President
of the United States himself had been con
nected with the purchase ol the public lands 1
Yes, the “ experiment” (Mr. Calhoun de
lighted in the word) was the cause of specu
lation in public lands, and if this bill should
not be passed, speculations could not go on,
and the price of tho public lands must conse
quently be reduced. He contended I hat every
man could not but sec that it would be utter
ruin to those who had borrowed money to
speculate in lands, if the system was not to
go on.” In a former part of your speech, as
reported, you say : “ The speculation which
a particular slate of things had given rise to,
had been produced by those in power. They
had profited by that state of things; and
should this hill be passed, it would only con
summate their wishes,” &c. &a. &c.
Knowing the liabilities of reporters to err
in taking down and writing out the speeches
of members of Congress, 1 have made enquiry
in relation to the accuracy of this report, and
have been furnished with certificates of gen
tlemen who hoard you, affirming that it is
substantially correct.
You cannot but be aware, sir, that the im
putations which your language conveys arc
calculated, if believed, to destroy my charac
ter as a man, and that the charge is one
which, if true, ought to produce my impeach
ment and punishment as a public officer. If
I caused the removal of the deposites for the
base purpose of enriching myself or my friends
by any of the results which might grow out
of that measure, there is no term of reproach
which I do not deserve, aud no punishment
known to the laws which ougl t not to bo in
flicted upon me. On the contrary, if the whole
imputation, both as to motive and fact, ho a
fabrication and calumny, the punishment
which belongs to me, if guilty, is too mild for
him who wilfully makes it.
I am aware, sir, of'lhcconstitutional privilege
under which this imputation is cast forth, and
the immunity which it secures. That privi
lege it is in no degree rny purpose to violate,
however gross and wicked may have been the
abuse of it. But I exorcise only the common
right of every citizen, when 1 inform you, that
the imputations you have cast upon me arc
false in every particular, not having for the
last ten years purchased any public land, or
had any interest in such purchase. The
whole charge, unless explained, must be con
sidered the offspring of a morbid imagination
or of sleepless malice.
I ask you, sir, as an act due to justice, honor,
and truth, to retract this charge on the floor of
the Senate, in as public a manner 4s it lias
been uttered—it being the most appropriate
mode by which you can repair the injury
which might otherwise flow from it.
But in tho event that you fail to do so, 1
' then demand that you place your charge before
; the House of Representatives, that they may
1 institute the nccessaryjprocecding to ascertain
the truth or falsehood of your imputation,
with a view to such further measures as jus
- lice may require.
If you will neither do justice yourself, nor
I place the matter in a position where justice
may be done me by the representatives of the
y people, I shall be compelled to resort to the
il only remedy left me, and, before I leave the
r, city, give publicity to this letter, by which yot
s, : will stand stigmatized as one who, protectei
1) I by hie constitutional privilege, is ready to elal
lr . the reputation of others, without the magn
,S- minify to do them justice, or the honor to plat
th them in a situation to receive it from other
:i- Vours, &c.

r ’Bust: A. JACKSON, Jr.
' I nut intend, (said Mr. C.) in what 1
, propose to say, to comment on the character
J ortho language of this extraordinary letter.
, It has excited in my bosom hut one feeling—
that of pity (br tho weakness of its author,
I contempt for Ins menace, and humiliation
r
that one occupying the office which lie does,
, should place himself in a situation so nnwor
■ thy of his exulted station. Nor do I intend
. to invoke tho interposition es tho Senate to
t protect the privilege attached to a Senator
. from one of the sovereign States of this Con
. tederacy, which has been outraged in my
I person. I seek no aid to defend my own pri
vileges ; and, so far from being intimidated, 1
shall he emboldened to express myself with
greater freedom, if possible, to denounce llio
corruption of the Administration, or the vio
lation ofthe laws and of the constitution, in con
sequence of tins attempt to restrain the free cx
| erciso of llio right of expressing my opinions
’ upon all subjects concerning tho public inter
; ests, secured to mo by the constitution, 1
leave to the Senate to determine what mea
sures the preservation of their own privileges
demand.
Much less do I intend to comply with the
request, or domiuid, made of me ; demand has
noplace between equals, and I hold myself
within my constitutional privilege, at least
equal to the Chief Magistrate himself. J, as
a legislator, have a right to investigate and
pronounce upon his conduct, and to condemn
his acts fro ;ly, whenever I consider them to
be in violation of the laws and of tho conslitu
on. I, as a Senator, may judge him; lie can
never judge me.
My object is to avail myself of the occasion
to reiterate what 1 said, as broadly and fully
ns I uttered them on a former occasion, lier'c
in my place, where alone I am responsible,
and where the friends of the President will
have an opportunity to correct my statement,
if erroneous, or to refute my conclusions, if
not fairly drawn. I spoke without notes, and
it may he that I may omit something which I
said on the former occasion that may be deem
ed material, or to express myself less full and
strongly than I then'did. Ifso,l will thank any
Senator to remind me, so that my statement
now may be as strong and as full as then.
If my memory serves me, I opened my re
marks, when I spoke formerly, by staling that
so many & so subtle were the devices by which
those who were in power could, in these times,
fleece the people, without their knowing it,
that it was almost enough to make a lover of
his country despair of its liberty. 1 then sta
led that I know of no measure which could
better illustrate the truth of this remark, than
the one now before ns. Ils professed object
is to restrict the sales of public land, in order,
as is avowed, to prevent speculation ; and by
consequence, the accumulation of a surplus
revenue in tho Treasury. The measure is
understood to he an administration measure,
I then stated that, so far from preventing
speculation, it would, in fact, hut consummate
the greatest specn lion which this country
have ever witnessed—a speculation origina
ting in a state of things of which those in
power were the an. hors ; by which they had
profited ; and which this measure, should it
become a law, would bul’coinplote. 1 then
asked what had caused such an cxtraurd’imiy
demand for public land, that the sales should
have mure than quintupled within the last
three years ?—and said that, to answer this
question, wo must look to the state ofthe cur
rency. That it was owing to tho extraordi
nary increase of hank paper, which had filled
to repletion all tho channels of circulation.
The Secretary had estimated this increase,
within that period, from six dollars anil fifty
cents per individual, to ten dollars. 1 holieve
tho increase to bo much greater —the effects
of which have been to double the price of
every article which has not boon kept down
by some particular cause. In the moan time
tho price of public land Ins remained unal
tered, at one dollar and twenty-five cents the
acre ; and the natural consrtqnenco was, that
this excessive currency oveffiowed upon tho
public land, and lias caused (hose extraordina
ry speculations which it is tljc professed object
of this hill to prevent.
1 then asked what had caused this inunda
tion of paper 1 The answer was, the Experi
ment. (I love to remind the gentleman of
tho word,) which had rembved tho only re
strictions that existed against the issue of
bank paper. Tie consequence was predicted
at the time —it was foretold that hunks would
multiply almost without number, and pour
forth their issues without restriction or liinita
, tion. Those predictions were at the lime un
' heeded ; their trulli now begins to be realized,
i The exporimevt commenced ly a transfer
i of the public fund9from where they were pla
r ced by law, and where they were under its
safeguard and protection, to hanks which were
I under the sole and unlimited control of llio
j Executive. The cll'ca was a vast increase
/ of Executive palronaga, and the opening a
i field of speculation, in describing which, i»
, anticipation, 1 pronounced it to be so ample,
. that Rothschild himself might onvj the op
portunity which it afforded. Such it has prov
r ed to be. : .
c The administration has profiled by tins vast
e patronage, and the prejudi® which il lias ex
e cited against the hank as thp means of sustain
icing themselves in power. It is unneccssarj
m to repeat the remarks, in illustration of this
■d The truth of the statement is known to all th
th Senators, who have daily witnessed the part
>a- topics which have been drawn from this frui
ice ful source. 1 then remarked that, if rumt
:rs. wore to be trusted, il was not only in a pul it
cal point of view that those in power had pre
■ • tiled by tho vast moans put in the hands of th
-o. Executive by the experiment,—they had prt
es filed in a pecuniary, as well as in a politic!
he point of view, it has boon frequently staler
lie and not contradicted, that many, in high pin
ces,arc among the speculators in public lands
and that even an individual connected will
the President himself, one of Ins nephews, wa:
V an extensive adventurer in this field of specu
ft- lation. 1 did not name him. but I now fee
at myself called upon to do so. I moan Mr. Ale
id Lcinore.
s - Having established these points, I next un
a- dertook to show that tins bill would constim
y mate those speculations, and establish tho po
■h liticul ascendancy which the experiment had
given to the Administration. In proof of the
-t former, I availed myself of the declaration ol
the Chairman ofthe Committee on Public
i Lands, who had stated that the speculators
d had already purchased and hold a vast,amount
iu of public land, not loss, as I understood him,
than twenty five or thirty millions of acres,
J - ami that il this bill did not pass, the scones ol
the last two years would ho repeated in this
and tho coming year. I then undertook to
■ show, from llio showing of tlie Chairman lum
- self, that those speculations wo Id prove mm
d oils without tho aid oflliis hill. Ife had staled
1- that the annual demand for public land, ro
. sidling from our increased population, could
d not exceed five millions of acres.
d Now, assuming that tiiequantity on,hand is
e thirty millions of acres, there would he six
11 years supply in the hands of tho speculators,
d oven if tiie land offices of the United Slates
he closed ; and that if the hill did not puss, nc
’■ cording to Ins showing, it would take double
or treble the time to dispose of the lands,
which, in that case, will ho in the hands of the
speculators. All must see the certain ruin, in
that event, ol those who have borrowed mo
ney to speculate in land ; particularly, II the
sales of public land should ho free and open
I to every one, ns it now is, to purchase to the
*’ extent of his means. 1 next showed that llio
• contest was between the Government, ns a
“ dealer in public land, and the speculators j
r > that they held in market at least an equal
II quantity in value to that which the Govern.
'< ment now has oflbred for sale, and that every
• restriction imposed upon the sales of Govern
•* merit land, must of necessity increase llio ad
’ vantage of its rival dealers.
r I then showed that very onerous and op
■ preesivo restrictions, of an odious character.
y upon llio sales of public lands, would be im
• posed, if the bill should pass. No one there
' after could purchase land of the Government
1 without license—a license, in my opinion,
B as offensive and odious as would boa license
• on the press. 'To obtain this license the oath
• of tho applicant was required ; and then it
■ could only bo obtained on the payment of
3 ono dollar and twenty live cents per acre, for
■ which tho citizen may now receive a grant
• in foe simple. After he had made his pur
■ chase, under authority of his license, the pm
-3 chaser has to comply with tho condition of
settlement and cultivation, and must, within
1 tho period of five years, prove to the salislac
-3 tion of the Register anil Receiver, who are
made high judicial officers, a compliance with
1 those conditions, before ho can receive Ins
3 title: and if ( lie failed to comply, by accident
or otherwise, ho forfeits both his money and
1 the land. I stated that this wan a virtual in
-5 crease of the price of public lands to the ac
tual settler; so much so, that any sober mid
-1 cd man would prefer to give the speculators
two dollars (per acre for land of the samo
’ quality, to giving tho Government ono dollar
[ and twenty-five cents for a license, with these
; oppressive conditions.
’ Having established this point, I then under
took to show that it would increase vastly the
J. power of tho Government of the new States,
, if they chose to exercise this patronage for
political purposes. That they would so use
it, wo have ample proof in the past conduct of
j the Administration.’& in tho principles which
have been openly avowed by ils friends. A
’ former Senator from New-York, high in the
L confidence of the parly, and now Chief Ala
gislmto of that State, had openly avowed, in
’ Ins place on this floor, that to the victor be
longs the spoils, for which ho was reprimand
-1 ed, at the time, by the Senator from Massa
’ clitisnlts, (Mr. Webster,) in a manner worthy
’. of his distinguished talents. Assuming, then,
that the power would ho exorcised with a view
j to political influence, I shewed that it would
place a vast number of the citizens ofthe how
1 States, probably not loss than one hundred
' thousand, in a condition es complete dopend
| once on the Receivers, and of vassalage to
’ the Government.
These arc the sentiments which I delivered
1 on a former occasion, and which I now reite
rate to the full extent—omitting nothing that
; is material, as (ar as connected with the letter
' of llio President; and for the delivery of
which, my privileges as a Senator, and those
of this body, have been so grossly outraged.
Air. Grundv and Air. Walker rose and
stated that they had been attentive listeners
during the debate alluded to in the President’s
letter, and corroborated the correctness of Mr.
Calhoun’* statement of what lie had said
on that occasion.
Mr. Calhoun then said that lie was grati
fied at what had been said, ami that all might
now see, from I heir statement and tho acquies
cence of others, what little cause the Presi
dent had for the outrage upon his privilege,
ami that of the Senate, and for applying lan
guage to him which is never used in inter
course between gentlemen, and hotter suited
to the purlieus of Billingsgate Ilian to the
mansion of the Chief Magistrate.

ANOTHER LETTER.
We lately published a letter from our /Vr-

to record another from his “counterfeit pre

Whitney. Wc live under this duplicate dy

It will ho observed how strictly tho nether
King follows tho example of the upper, and
how cordial is tho co-operation of these holy
allies. “ The world is governed 100 much," says
tho speaking trumpet of this Janus Execu
tive. It speaks truly for once. Throe Pres
idents and two V’icc Presidents are more
Ilian the constitution recognises. Messrs.
Jackson, Van Huron, Whitney, King, and
■ Johnson, —to say nothing of the candlo-snuf
fers—present a proper commentary on the
i "mil” text. Does the reader inquire how the
i strange events which daily strike him with
: their novelty come to pass? Our answer is,
: go to the dunghill mid hoc how the imisroou
t springs up in a night. The fungus is inherent
>1 "■ the corrupt soil. The times arc out of joint

like the teeth ofthe dragon, armed with pow
•t cr. Look at this one, slopping forth from
- the ranks and telling Hie assembled Itapro
gsntativcs of the people of the United States
•v that he shall relieve himself of the trouble ol
s. attending to their calls. He was determine.
,C not to regard their authority any longer. Hi

a- This second letter, wo hear, was reporlc
