In November, IS3-*i, one rear and nine
months ap«s n bmp *e#nnn of peace and i
prosperity wr.a in tin* prswoect before ns |
You had just reaped on nliuuiUn hatveei;
your ifranarnr* wore overflowing; your pra
ties and (uresis wCft’WW wild collie; im- 1
provcincnla And scHlemcn's were extending
on every aide; every man returned in cvip.tort
under hw own vine and In* o'vn fig tree, and
there waa none t« make him afraid. Tin;
laws were in tlie cotims of admitest ration.—
Thia Court was in session; several miportuiit
cases had liccn tried; the members of the Imr
were preparing to try others; anticipated n
term of greater leu gill than had before occur
red in tin* part of the district. Jurors, sni
lore, wilncaeea were in alicndancc, ttiey bad
left their property uud families, at home, an
believed, in a sla’c of perfect aecurity.
t n a moment, the scene was changed ; the
Court had adjourned over from Saturday to
Monday; on Sunday, a messenger »-nved to
tell og Hint Charley E marl hi was sleeping, in
hi* own blood, Ine sleep of death, in Hie wil
derneaa; a non after tidings came, that the fire
brand and the rifle wore Idled against white
men, by the treacherous JVcminuic. Serious
apprehensions began to he entertained tor i he
safety of families; men were confused, like
those who wake from a troubled dream; they
looked on ull aide* for danger, they scarcely
knew where to look fur succor or protection.
A long litigation, warmly contested between
two of your cititens, was abrop ly suspended,
the court found itself compelled to adjourn.
A general commotion ensued. The U. Stales
were endeavoring to accomplish an object in
quiring ample preparation—without being
prepared. The Indian swspt over the land,
tattling, butchering, destroying Property dis
appi'tired; lives were lu»i;ihe citizen wasdtiv
on from his home to seek a precarious subsis
lonco for Ins family in o her lauds, or to shel
ter his wife ami his I Hie ones in blocklirm.
Hes and forts. Even to these places of ref
uge, affl ctinn pursued our suffctifljj people;
cunflnemont, the want of air and exercise,
hivmess of li n srt, pro<K|ced an enemy almost
ns tertiblu as the Indians themselves; the In
dians,for whose yells,the wife & mother " ere
anxiously lls'euing, night slier night. Thus it
wbk, a general &, cheering prosperity had be
come a gloomy and fieri! adversity. V'vi, you
did mil despond; you turned your lures to (hit
enemy and met the diffiailuea of the lime.
We all hoped the moment waa at hud whan
the sutllirings of the people would cease. We
looked anxiously into tlie nij'llt, and often
thought we aaw the day spring advancing up
on us. We have hfi'n deceived; tins war,
with all.its evils ia still around ire; but il can
not always lasi; the darkest hour is Hint which
precedes the morn up*!
Gentleman, in the midst of your cnllamillcs
ton have often been in my tnuughis. Sick
ami aflheted myself, i have sympathised in
your sorrows ami rejoiced in your 'successes.
When your citizens have sunk Wnoaih the

more gratified than the individual now address,

Gentlemen, it is not 'py purpose nt present,
la enter at largo nitu n consideration of the
duties which ns Grand Jurors you are bound
to perform, Tim views of the Bunch upon
this subject, have been repeatedly expressed
in your nearing,and must be familiar lo allot
you. Bat wtO r e it not so, the oath you have
taken is so clear, certain, and impressive,
that be “itUm runs may road." It teaches
you to make diligent (inquiry, and to present
the truth ; to preserve a.r inviolable secrecy
respecting the opinions of your legal counsel
lor, your fellows ami your own ; ami above
nil to discard all emu.ties and partialities ; all
leas, feeling ami interest from your delibera
tions. You represent the law, which is like
the Deity hnusclf, .Mind without fission.
I would remind you, gentlemen that by the
law organizing the Territorial Government,
the Superior Courts of the Territory possess
exclusive, jurisdiction in all cn/ii/al cases. In
all cases whore gudt is visited with the pun
ishment us D •*'h, there is no tribunal but the
Siqierior Court to which resort can be bail for
tlie trial of the offender ; whether that off m
tier he black, or White, bond, or free, master,
or slave.
In referring to slaves, I would jud remark
(hat they nr:property they are things ami
not jiersnns. A slave cannot have a habeas
cor fiat, he can neillicrsnepior beam'd, Winn,
however, (ho law imputes a freedom of will
lo slaves, and declares them capable of com
mitting crimes, pro his vice, they arc made
persons, with such restrictions upon their
rights, «s the law tninas proper to impose. In
prescribing the mode of trial and Us incidents
Hm law may unquestionable provide tribunals
different from those bolero which while men
are arraig ted; Freeholder and Magistrates
may bo substituted lor the Judge amt tim
twelve Jurors, lint if no limitation or qmili
fic.itioa he attached to (Ur right of Inal as it is
imparted to slaves, Hie trial and ihe rights of
Ihe accused are tlie same as when the laws
design to bring a white man injustice. If yon
giv luis is impolitic, i agree with you. it is
n misfortune to any criminal code when
funishmiiil halls a id lingers in the pursuit of
its viululers; hut is a slave holding country, it
is of essential importance, that olio aces com
mitted by slaves should be speedily punished;
both the general prmcioles which should gov

all oases, hail a fwtrtitudar policy req'tro that

I Outlie organic laws, which auilu iih what the

There ure those perhaps,win not only think

The Ended Stales purchased die Florijfts;
they extended their laws uud their power over
Ihcso provinoes; they promised lo each individu
al, protection for his person and property. The
people c. nlided in die willingness mid capacity
of die United >Siu es lo perform their promises; the
country became settled and properly was amassed.
The United Stales found here nn Indian popu
lation; a rac.i of wild men, not regarded by the
Spaniards ns a nation to treat or be lirated with;
not so regarded by other civilized nadone. The
Indians were a people without the pale of civili
zation, mid holding no raid; among the nations
of the earth. Dot with these people the United j
S ales made ttealiespnarrowed the limits of their ;
possessions and finally resolved on their removal.
Those sleps were taken without consulting the
people of Florida. If dm United Slates then, re
solved upon carrying the measures into died,
was there not an obligation upon thani, la exor
cise every precaution,—in a word, <a remove the
Lilians vsil/iont injury lathe citizens of the
country.?—Nobody doubts that ifllio army of
General Scott, or a leas imposing force, bad been
muisbulled within the Territory at any time be
fore hostilities commenced, the Indians had been
i removed, and the country had not been the the#-
> Ire of so mony tragic semes. But die operation
i was attempted with a handful o, men,it was nl
' tended by neglect, a want of foresight, a rejection
' of die very means within Hi# hands of the Uni
r ted Stales; it tailed, and injuries of die most sori
. ous description have fallen upon our unoffending
, citizens.
Our people were not parties to the Treaties
adverted to, or other Government measures re
| apeedngthe Indians they had no voico in die
counsels which produced them; hm they have
1 been iallied, mid who is responsible' Tbo nn
' swer is a plain one —The parly who promised
* | protection, and did not utVoni ii; the j arty who
" I should have been prepared tn prevent mischief
1 and seas not. This is not (lie case ofu war with
r j an independent noiion, where perhaps the rule
1 might be dilfcrenl. Ii is die case of an insiirrec
, lion among those over whom die United fc'lalee
5 had sueb|a control, ns would if prudently ever
l vised, have preserved lo the country, peace, hap
s piness and nanqiiillly. II lliese have hern im

. are clearly responsible. It ia the part of magus
< nimby to acknowledge error and repair ha conte
f qiicnces. Surely the United Slates willdoyou

i —they cannot restore what lias been lost—they
4 cannot awake die dead !

| After ton days reflection —not in llio heat of

I himself into a passion—and a furious passion it is
i —witli twenty two of (tie most high minded and

sii-tency and honor”—"should bo discarded”—
I "should lie rejected from the parly”—and all that
sort o' thing. And why? Have they succumb
ed to nvllificatiux, that liug bear of the faith

hostility to union, that one thing needful! None
of these. Have they opposed tins measures

do this. What then have Mr. GARLAND, of

thus hold up, by their political brethren, “a bye

• Fellow Citizens —lt is known to you, and to
■ the nation, that without any legal authority for
1 tlie proceeding, the depositee of public money
. were removed by ray predecessor, from the place
i where the law required them to remain, and were
• placed in certain banking institutions, where they
’ became u fund for speculating purposes, and were
so instrumental in Increasing the numln r of banks
I in the country, and in expanding the credit sys
■ lent, as to encourage » spirit of overtrading in va-
H rious departments of business, and eventually to
, lead lo sueh disastrous results, that ull your wis
i dom, and much of my ingenuity w ill be required
, to correct the evils under which our country is al
• present groaning.
. | The spirit of "reckless speculation, occasioned
) j by the redundancy of credit.” it is pretty evident
may bo appropriately attributed lo the government.
For liefore the government (or ra'her the Execu
. live Magistrate, who has been considered as the
9 Government.) began to interfere with the Nation
' al Dank, and with the public Oeposites, the bank
-1 rag system ol the United States was restricted to
nYic rr.eoMble i r,« it.’, the Dai.h at the U
, Stater m effectual; rt-alt'cd the rurffnrt j
| 'he country, and the course of cxcUxuges. that the ;
1 world looked with admiration at the perfection ol
j (be system by which our commercial intercourse, ,
j foreign and domestic, wo* conducted. Uul the ,
Hank of the United Rules Would not consent to
iiecoine h political instrument in Ilf hands of the
1 President, ami therefore il.tdesuunion was resol
| ved upon. It was eventually destroyed. afl‘‘ r
j having its contract whir the government
violated, in the removal of Ihe public depositee
from iu custody. When that bank was put
down, the main spring was broken which icgula
| ted tlio national currency, ami every ellorl which ;
; has since been made to remedy the mischief id
' thirs injudicious proceeding.has proved ineffectual. j
The President, it has Ireen happily found, can, by
I Ids self,will, break down what all bis wisdom
i cannot build up. It would be needless to look
1 beyond the war declared against the bank, the re
moval of the depositee, and the consequent issue
ot the Treasury Circular, for the causes of the
distress we are now experiencing. Without
these measures there might have b en some occa*
sional overtrading, as there always will be among
the citizens of a flourishing nation: hut the con
sequences of those overtradings would have been
confined to those, who lud in their dealings tran
scended the boundaries of prudence—they would
not have extended fur in their consequences,much
less would they have made almost the whole na
tion bankrupt.
As the course of the government, or nlher of
the President,has been instrumental in producing
the mischiefs we see and feel (he question very
naturally arises, how these mischiefs are to he
remedied. Whatever way he the remedy, it
ought to be so contrived as to secure both my
predecessor and myself from censure. The er
rors that have been committed must be passed
over in the gentlest manner—these, to he sure,
have been numerous and obvious enough, hut it
is not necessary publicly to acknowlecge them;
particularly as, however great they may have
been, they have received my approbation; and
what I approve of, you would scarcely expect me
to condemn. If therefore, a wrong course has
been pereued in regard to the national currency,
I am siill inclined to continue the same course.
For to persist in wrong rather than to acknow
ledge an error, was the course of one whom I ever
“thought it glory enough to serve,” and whom I
consequently delighted imitate.
It may he well in considering the wide spread
and general distress, occasioned by the measures
of the government, to remember that evils similar
to those suffered by ourselves, have Ireen experi
enced in Ureal Britain, and a proper use of this
fact may help to conlim 3 the deception practic'd
on the people, in the efforts made to induce them
to believe that their sufferings arc evidences of
the wisdom of their rulers, and should not there
fore be complained of. At any rate they should
not he informed of the extensive injury done by
attempts to depreciate the national credit. The
, great body of the people seem willing to he de
ceived—they nlmo-l idolized my predecessor while
he was trifling with their rights and disregarding
their laws—and those who mean to retain a pow
er over them, ought not to he baokward in effort*
to mislead them, Un lire subject of banks and
of the national currency, they can easily he de
ceived, and therefore we run no risk in presenting
i (O them any of our schemes, provided we con
trive to render what wc recommend platlsiblc.
“The various transactions which bear the name
of domestic exchanges, differ essentially in their
nature, operation and utility. Amongst these
differences it may be remarked, that bills of ex
! change arc sometimes drawn for the purpose of
transferring actual capital, and they are some
f t imes drawn in anticipation of capital to bo sent
•o meet thorn; but these are transactions with
which the government should have little to do,
except to embarrass, us fat as possible, the inter,
course of those engaged in those transactions.—
Commercial men, or merchants as they ere called,
deserve little favor from the government, oltho’
, it must ho admitted that the national revenue is
■ principally derived from their operations. But
■ there seems to he a policy at present commencing,
, of discountenancing one class of community, and
of onedavoring to elevate another—of making
1 sucji distinctions between the poor and rich, that
political aspirants may trample upon the rights of
both,in their upward advancement on Ihe rounds
of the political ladder. The government is an.
1 thorized by the constitution to regulate commerce
between the Slates, and what it can regulate, it
' may surely if it pleases destroy. A practical evi
dence of its capacity in this respect is given in re
lation to the currency,—as in its power to regu
late the currency, it has most effectually destroy,
ed it. But although one kind of money, such
as silver and gold, has been almost banished from
circu lalion in common transactions, yet a consiJ
crable supply of the “holler currency” has been
called into use, in that vast variety of small hills,
which the ingenuity of out intelligent citizens has
been'successfully fabricating, and which in some
places being dignified by the name of “shin
plasters,” arc found to answer ail the purposes of
small change.lhroughout our flourishing comma
j nity. And as many of those little promissory
j messengers will no doubt be lost in their various
jlranslers, the labor and expense of redeeming
) them may be saved to their makers, who may thus
j find this species of domestic manufactures not
[ only useful to others, but profitable to themselves.
I | And while Ihe government has been encouraging
i 1 this species off manufacture, it has also effected
j such a chan; ;e in the facilities of transmitting
| funds from place to place, that none can be cn
!gaged in these transactions without being able to
J judge correctly of the salutary influence of the
1 measures pursued. As for instance it is well
’ i
i known, thin when the bank of the U. S. was in
existence, if one of our citizens wished toi send
1 money from one end of Ihe continent to the oth
| cr, the hills of that bank afforded a safe and easy
mode of doing it. He could rend his money from
■ Alabama to Massachusetts, or from New York to
J New Orleans, in those hills, at a cheaper rate,and
with more safety and convenience than ho could
| make remittances in cither silver or gold. But
! now if a 11 run sends the bills of an Alabama Bank
| to make payments even in Georgia, he docs it at
, | a loss of fifteen or twenty dollars in a hundred;
i and if ho wants to travel in any direction, Ihe
bills of one Slate are at a discount in the next,
| and 1 mm travels at a loss, let him lake almost
any course he may. Docs not this therefore show
( | that the government has such a regard to the in -
j lercsts of individuals as to make liberal inroads
(upon their conveniences,
“Banking has become a political topic,” and
' has been so ever since my predecessor attempted
to make the United States Bunk a political instru
-1 inonl, and my own views in relation to hank*
ate, that none should be countenanced but those
that the government can coatrol; because, with
out the control of ihe banks, the Executive is not
so absolute, and cannot be so tyrannical as a mo
-1 dost man would desire to be. When toy pre le
■-r;rer removed the dep'xitcs fmtn tLS: icp-.,; re-t
ing plug, and pul th.-itl into the selected SiTc *
1 lisnks.be then extolled those institutions sshighly (
: u-rful and important establishments, calculated to (
| aid the government in preserving t sound cur- ,
rency, and in securing an easy mode of effecting
exchanges, snd of being the mean* of giving to
the people a lustier currency than had previously
existed. Sound statesmen indeed predicted tbit
“the experiment” would and must fail and fa 1
it ha*, and now the |>et banks are considered, by
lire very individual who had eulogised them, a* a
set ol rascally institutions, and in place of llrcin
it is proposed to substitute a Treasury Bank,
which may he so contrived as to multiply the olfi
-1 ccrs who shall he dependent upon the President,
j and who may so aid, not only in distributing the
J national funds, hut in influencing fuluroeleclinns,
! that a slate of things may thereby bn produced.
1 which will not only astonish foreign nations, but
effect eventually a materia! change in the princi
ples of our own government. To the Treasury
Bank, therefore, my mind inclines so slrongly
that I shall not rest satisfied till I see it in success
ful operation. Nothing would be more aeccpta-
I hie to me than the “withdrawal from the Execu
-1 live, to the greatest practicable extent, of all con
cern in the custody and disbursement of the
public revenue, not that I would by any means
shrink from responsibility, but because it is my
firm belief that no public good could result from
increasing the patronage of Ihe President,” and
it is from this belief that I now recommend a
course calculated to increase this patronage beyond
all firmer example, and fur beyond what the fra
mers of the constitution ever thought of confiding
to the Executive Magistrate. But the framers of
the constitution, and those who arc chosen to ad
minister it, have had different views as to the
meaning of many of its provisions, as the prac
tice of 'a few late years has clearly demonstrated.’

By Ihe arrival, this morning, of the packet ship
Garrick, Copt. Palmer, the editors of the Commer
cial Advertiser are in possession of London pa
pers to the 15th, and Liverpool to the Kith Aug
ust. By a transient ship, Hie Echo, we have also
some late papers, for which we are indebted to
her commander, (.'apt. Mallatl. This fine vessel
also sailed oil the IGth August, and, we have
been informed, a little alter the Garrick and South
America.
Captain Palmer reports that the new Havre
packet ship Ville de Lyon, put into Portsmouth
on the 14th August, leaky and in distress, having
been struck by lightning, by which accident five
of her crew were killed.
The South America sailed in company with
Ihe Garrick.

The whigis claimed a majority of twenty-two,
in the whole House of Commons, which compu

pated majority ofthirly nine from Ireland.
Messrs. Hamilton and West, the opponents of
O’Connell and Dutton, for Dublin, had given no
tice of their intention to contest the return of lire
latter, and a subscriptioir was got up to defray
Ihe expenses.
Mr. Hume was returned from Kilkenny 1 j
majority of 7.
The papers announce the death of Mr. John
f 1 Lawless, who lias long occupied a prominent
| station in Irish politics—scarcely less prominent
jin fact, than that of Mr. O’Cunnell. Among his
1 countrymen he was generally known as “honest
, I Jack Lawless.”—His age was about 60.

1 | in the dark, as to Ihe movements and situation

The forces of Don Carlos are stated at about
24,000, of which 15,000 arc regular troops and
! j 9000 guerillas, acting independently in bands of
i various strength.
f The ministers were fortifying Lisbon, but it
. was not expected that any serious resistance
would ho made to Ihe insurgents.
PORTUGAL.
3 The insurrection appears to ho gaining ground.
; All the old officers ami adherents ot Don Pedro
• i had joined the insurgents, and Ihe private soldiers
t deserted in whole companies. Marshal Saldanha
S had placed himself at the head ot Ihe disaffected,
• | and was lliieatcning to march upon Lisbon. Two
; ol the ministers had resigned in consequence of
1 j the relusal of their colleagues to proclaim the
, | charter of Don Pedro, which they thought indis
pensable as the only moans of satisfing the insur
I gents. These had seized the town of Abranls-
J ; the garrison offering no resistance, ,
c ; The Queen is no doubt at heart in lavor of the
j j movement: she refused to receive a deputation
j from the Cortes, who were appointed to assure
her of their intention to support the revolution
.1 . which brought the existing ministry into power,
• : at all hazards. The Queen assigned indisposition
f ! as her reason for not receiving the deputation, but
1 this was considered only a pretext. A change of
1 minsters has no doubt taken place, long before this
