drawn by Samuel ft. Slaymaker oh 0.8. Brown,| and endorsed by James Reeside, and payable at 90 days alternate. They were negotiated at the Western Bank in Philadelphia, and sent to the Patriotic Bank in Washington city, for collec tion. They were paid at maturity by the pro ceeds of a draft drawn by James Reesde, on O. B. Brown, ftif three thousand dollars, at ninety days. This draft was suffered to pass a day or two beyond its maturity, without payment, bm on the 18th of July, it was paid out of the pr< _ ceeds of a draft drawn by Samuel R. Slayma ker, on James Reeside, for two thousand dol lars, and one thousand dollars in cash paid Ly Slaymaker, and O. B. Brown, at the same time, drew on Reeside for two thousand dollars, whic drafts were sent to the Bank of Maryland io collection. It appears that neither Reeside n Slaymaker made any charge or kept any mem oranda ot these transactions; that they have n<> note or acknowledgment of Brown, showing ht liatiility to the n, unless it be the drafts w..i< were - taken up, a which Slaymaker says he thiai.s he preserved, but of which he does not profess : be certain. He nevertheless denies ab oluteh . that it was intended as a donceur or gratuity i Brown. Reeside states that Brown paid hi one thousand dollars in part of this loan. Bi. this transaction is the more remarkable whe taken in connexion with another, testified to t v Edwin Porter, which will be found in anothei part of this report. In that case, Brown wa . ehcrtly before, and shortly after this transactio, . the lender of very'large sums of money to Pot ter, on int rest. ' It tippears that’in the spring or summer of 1831, Mr. Barry applied to Reeside, in Philadel phi , to assist him in negotiating an acceptance for SI,OOO, to raise some money for his, (Mi. B .rrv’s,) individual use. Instead of doing this Reeside advanced him the $1000; snd, ho 'sta ted before the committee that Mr. Barry paid it by his acceptance at a short date, which he, (Reeside,) negotiated in the Schuylkill Bank. On inquiry of the cashier of the Schuylkill Bank, we find that no such acceptance was ne gotiated there. Your committee having colla ted the evidence touching these transactions leave them without comment. In some of the contracts above examined, and many others that passed under the notice ot your committee, very heavy sums of money have been paid by the dapartment, for the es tablishment of a second, and sometimes a third, - daily line on the same route. When the contracts for a regular daily mail, have been advertised and let «ut pursuant to law, your committee can look upon these ex penditures in no other light than that of enor mous waste ts the public funds Take, for example, the case of the coitract from Phila delpnia to Pittsburgh, and from Pittsburgh to Washington, brought up, as we have rlready shewn, from $8,250 to $40,150--while a single mail, each way, daily on mat line, is all the pub lic service, or the buisness of tne country does require, or ever has required. Additional lint s of stages there are convenient only for the trans portation of pass-m gers, and, whenever the busi ness of the country requires them, they spring up oflhomselvs without the aid of Govermen.- And those oppositio lines, which are got up by individual enterprise, serve the interest of the travelling public, as well, and perhaps bet er, than the additional daily lines of coaches, all un ier the control of the same individuals, wmeh, under the name ot additional mails, are sust in cd by enormous bounties out ot the public purse. The monopoly set up by the establishment or these additional daily mails, and ezpressunails, is of the most pernicious tendency. They en able the large mail contractors to put down ano ruin any man who shall attempt to compete with them in the transportation of passengers; and, thus, tor want of that wholesome competition which the uat >ral course of things would other wise create, are t avllers delivered over to the mati contractors and t >eir servants, as a kind oi pr >perty, to be dealt with, and disposed of, fur th-- lime being, according to t.eir good plea sure. ' It is not the purpose of ycur committee, by these remakp, to arraign the conduct ot any Class of individuals. These men. like all others, pursue their own individual interest, and many oi tn in labor occasional! y for the comfort and accommodation of the public. It is our pur pose «» mark the g< neral, tendency of things, and few travellers can have tailed to observe that the comrort and convenience of the passenger in the mail stage is promoted by the existence ot an efficient opposition on the same route. But aesiues the general effect of these second • & l.iird bail , mails to ( put down opposition lines, au agreement, of which that is one of the avow e objects, enu reu into betwen two large com- - pantos ofto.itraetors) eacn running those addi tional hues, ano eacn in the receipt oi very large exti a allowances, app. ars to have Been made witn th.: approoation of the department, and filed among its aremves, to be safely kept and officially enforced, in one clause it binds the contracting parties, under a penalty, to.transport no passengers for less thau a stipulated price.

But tue great danger to the confederacy, is tailing in ot the States into one mass ; and ns ill inevitably resuli, ti a power in tne Gen-' ■al Government is permitted to be exercised, •■.inch seeks to subvert the sovereignty and) rights of the States, most guaidedly reserved in. i..e constitution. • 1 his must be obvious to every mind that will >-stow on it the proper < onsim ration.

Washington. Dec. 27th, 1833. Messrs, George Ji. Brown, John Williams, Samuel Rockwell. Gentlemen :—Yours of the 14th instant covering the procedings of the State Rights party of the 12tb, nominating candidates for the next'Congress and requesting my acceptance of the nomin tion, has been received. , In accepting the nomination, permit me through you to express to the party with whom I am proud to be associated, my sentiments of respect and gratitude for this renewed expres sion of their confidence and kindness towards one who -an make so poor a return for this dis tinguished mark of their favor. It is also requested that I should signify my approbation of the proceedings of the State Rights party of Georgia, held in the State House on the 13th ult. and the principles ad opted thereat. The basis of tne principles, adopted at that meeting is the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, as expounded and understood at that time, which has been pursued and acted upon by the State Rights party in Georgia ever since, and which are now the political creed of the State Rights party in every State in the Union, and of which I most cordially approve. There is however in the proceedings of that meeting one proposition af firmed upon which, to prevent misconstruction, I will make one remark I mean that proposiJ tion whic” affirms that the State in entering in-> to the confederacy retained her entire sover eignty. The federal compact was formfed by the sov ©ereignt Spates, o in which The exercise of certain powers were granted fi the U. States, gto be by them exercised for the common benefit aof tlie whole, all powers not expressly grant, o Mwerfe reserved to the States; the due exen ise ©therefore by the United States of the granted ©powers is binding upon the States, they having ■during tne existence of the Uni n, whcih it is ©hoped will be perpetuated, agreed to abstain from their exercise : but in oiffer not only to preserve the retainer! rights from encroach ments by the Union, but the Union itself from violation, it is nec< ssarv “that each one of th. States sfiould judge for itself of the infractions of the compact and the mode ,and measure ot' redress;” this right is inherent and inseparable from State sov. reigntv, is coeval with the Union itself, and so long as judiciously exercised will be its great bulwark. Withdiaw it, we have no sure guaranty for either ; but my purpose is not controversy, there being a general concidenct of opinion in the great and leading principles of our party ; although there are shades of differ- 1 lence upon some points, yet generally we may** jbe said t agier “in Union is our strength.” I am Gentlemen, ver respectfully your obe dient servant. ROGER L. GAMBLE. Mr. Foster’s Reply. Washington, 26th Dec. 1833. Gentlemen:—Your letter of 14th inst., cover ing a copy of the “Proceedings of the Stages Rights Convention, held at Milledgeville” onthe 12th inst., at w ich, my name was “put in nomination as a candidate for the next Con gress,” was received yesterday:— For this renewed expression of the continued confidence of my political friends, I pray them to a cept my most grateful acknowledgements. My only legret is, t .at I haw not been able heretofore, to render more ■ fficient services, or a more adequate return for til. kin iness and confidence, so repeatedly bestowed. In ac ept ling the n >minati<>n, now so flatteringly tender . ed, I can only promise you well intended effmts (humble as thev may be,) to pr. mot the mtei - - ests of my constituents, so long as I remain in the publie service -and an Unabaiitig and un . in the support of those great print 1- . pl es , cn which 1 solemnly believe depends the harmony ot our extensive confederacy, and the '■ happiness and prosperity of the people. ' There ts one of the resolutions, adopted by your ( onv nti n, which seems to require a tie , finite and 'Xplicir answer. B\ that resolution*, 1 ; the Convention have “taken for granted, that the .! gentlemen nominated app ove without reserva (f/on, the procet dings of the me. ting of the State ' Rights Partv, helu in the Stat. House, in Mill . eilgeviile, on the 13>h ult., and the principles a dopted thereat.” Approving most cordiaffv the i object of that meeting, and coremring mainlv in I the principles set forth, I r< gret that I cannot oncur in all. In tne Preamble to the resolu tions, it is virtually asserted, that the States re- < tain their entire sovereignty. Candor compels i me to say, that to this position, thus laid down, |1 cannot yield mv assent. There are no higli |er a tributes of sovereignty belonging to inde ipendent States, than those of declaring war, and Imaking treaties of peace; hot of which, the ’States have, by the Constitution, conferred on th Federal Government. I am aware that many of our leading politicians, distinguish be tween Sovereignty - nd the exercise of sovereign power, maintaining, that allho’ the States have delegated these powers to their common agents, their sovereignty is not thereby impaired This was probably the view taken by the meeting, in November; hut, with great deference to the pinions of my fellow < itizens, assembled on tnat occasion, this distiaction seems to me rather too r- fined. 1 shall not, however, attempt to enter imto an argument on this subject, nor should I have referred to it, but for the very broad, terms of the resolution referred to. It is not expect ed, that we can all agree entirely on even point. Among the members of our party, there ar snades ot difference of opinion, on manv oues estly entert lined, a liberal indulgence should, and no doubt, will be extended I have fr - quently had occasion to remark, that wiiatev different theories maybe maintained by the true friends of State Rights, for all practicable pur poses, they are in purfect accordance— and whenever an occasion arises, these “brethren of the same principles,” will be found z ah u.-> '•o-operating. This is strikingl. e.nonstrat incur own State, by the organization et tie “ State Rights Party,” and equally, so, b) the pposition which was at first made, and is ev - r y Bay increasing, throughout the country, to th * Font Bill. '1 he passage of this bill was con sidered, and felt as a direct attack upon the s v ereignty of the States—that the a vocates of States Rights, and of a limited Federal Govern ment, were aroused—a practical question was at once made-- the line was draWn, and by it; paities will ultimately be as distinctly marked, as they were by the passage of the Alien and Sedition Laws. But I am exteding my remarks farther, per cghnps, than required by the occasion, and will j beg leave, only to add, the expression of my ■ sincere thanks for the kind manner in which 1 yu have communicated the proceedings of tue •. Convention, and the assurance of my personal esteem and regard. ’I Your fellow > itizen. ’ THOMAS F. FOSTER. Messrs. G. A. Brown, 1 John Williams, I Committee. S.

It is decidedly the most im po tant Document now engaging the public attention in-t cannot fail to have a powerful effect upon public o pi.non in regard to Jackson’s administration. We • not believe that a majority of the people are so hearties a-id submissive, and so blind to their own future welfar as to encourage corruption such as this, even sanction by the name of Andrew Jackson.

W e have pro cured the loan of another copy from a friend and shall conclude the publication next week. —:2K2K:— The nomination of Mr. Taney as Secretary of the Treasury has been rejected by the Senate by a majority of 10 votes I and the n< minationof Mr. Stevenson as in ister to England by a majority of one vote. The rejec tion of Mr, Taney was not only looked for, but merited. He has gone the way that all time-serving, subservient tools ought tc go. The rejection of Mr. Stevenson is , aid to have been grounded on the fact that he has had expr-as promise of a nomination for many months, a has still held on I'o the office of Speaker for the purpo of sustaining Jackson in his lawless usurpations an 1 abuses of power. Tbe truth is the “government" is get ting to be a mere farce—corruption and favoritism sta! 1 abroad in open day, and we rejoice that there is patriotism e tough in the Senate to stand up for the purity of our institutions and the liberties of the people. Resignation of Mr. McLane.—Louis McLane, th secretary ofState, has resigned his office ! What next v’ho that is honest and independent can stay in the wea and fluctuating administration of Andrew Jackson How many more changes shall we have in the remainnm two yars of his misrule? He has already had thr secretaries of s State. Van Buren, Livingston, an cLanp ’ whr* ? am*i next ? and where will ti e end ? when sFiall we Ku.vc uimieiicy in natters ? Our Government will become the laughin .tuck of the whole world abroad, and worse than that ■vi I lose the confidence of the peopleat home. Jackson, alter setting all the great interests of the country afloat, pon the Ocean of experiment, is now determined to dnv% I'om hiscounsels every man who honestly and ind id'-ntly differs with him tn opinion. Mr. Barry the .Ost faithless and inifficien- officer he has ever had, and who has brought the Post office Department to Ban - uptcy and disgrace, is to be n tamed we suppose, out of pure spite to the people. -= It is not only quite amusing but actually somewhat nstructive to see with what dexterity that class of polit:-! cians who “ play far the offices,” can change th-ir political complexion to suit the fluctuating fortunes of parties. 1: is gratifying too to see how fortunate—nay. how hap pv, they ;dw ys are, just as the party to which they are, ’hr the “time being” attached, is about to become the minority, not only in manufacturing excuses for aoan ionmg all their former principles and opinions, hut also for abusing their former friends, and becoming the most clamorous and violent of all, in older to ingratiate them-i ■ selves into favor with those who have the offices to bes-J tow. Just as the old Clark party, after many years of! incessant and almost hopeless toil and labor, were aboutj to regain the ascendency and be once more in the ma-1 jority, how fortunately the fluctuating, tide-waiting offieft hunters, discovered that the nickname of nullification’ hail been given to the State Rights doctrine, and seized upon a pretext, to abandon their ancient friends, and i>e once more swimming with the majority. ■ How cun ningly too th«y have managed their cards, in establishing with their new allies, the doctrine that proselytes should be rewarded—hence, although the number of these Troup I nion men, as they style themselves, compared with the _reat body of the Clark party, is as one to ten, yet they have so managed as to share equally all the importan. ofi.ces in the '-'tate. Every leading character amon. these political weathercocks has received an office in possession or in expectancy. Four out of nine on the ongress ticket are taken from among the Swiss —this was the bargain, mark it people of Georgia— this was the bargain. The offices being all they sought for, all th y care for, it was necessary to make such a division ql them asto keep th-* loose and incongruous portions of this party together; and we are happy to say that the “Troup Union men” have struck a wonderful good bar hain—they have really disposed of themselves for quite gas much as they are worth! The bargain being made, lit was further necessary to stick to it— “ Dont fiy oft’the axletree ” is the motto—ana hence when Col. Cuthbert declined the nomination for Congress, it was necessary to select . some other Troup manto fill his place. The net was cast ■ —the great D. U. R. net, baited with offices & honors . Judgeships, Congress seats, State house offices, solicitor, ships, public advertising, &c. glittering like diamonds in! its meshes —was cast into the sea of politics. Many fish could have been caught, but were not suffered to en-* (ter the net—they were not of the right kind—a Troup U-I •mon trout was wanted, and for this purpose the net was? .moved into the pure waters of Morgan Bay, where those ;fish were said to abound, but catching nothing there, it [was moved in other directions until it became pretty cer tain that not a trout was to be caught; and then these D. L■. R. fishermen giving the go by to the old adage, “ token a catting, go a catling" finall.. hampe.ed an old “gar’lying in Baldwin Gulf with his back half out of Me water, and willing to be caught with bait for which | is appetite had longed in vain for many seasons’! SBut it is not only in the Congressional ticket that W 3 1< <1 for evidences of the bargain foi a division of the ofl.< es, “the loaves and fishes,” but in allothc. offices in •hi state Cur present energetic Governor, ioho l&ti tfte north star, never varies or moves, is to be succeeded by a g< ntleman selected from the 1 roup Union tergiversante; .nd the judicial mantle of the great estern Circuit w to fall upon the shoulders of the literary ) Demo cratic Yeoman, licensed vendor of the “ Lumpkiniana i.nacea”and member of .the faculty of patent Steam octors. It would be a mortal pity for this latter gen tleman to be disappointed ; he has so long been the sport 1 fickle fortune, that if he should fail now when his hand almost laid upon the glittering treasure, it might be the death of him.” He has been twice reject- dby the legislature, for the judgeship, and once by the people for •‘'ongress—being too dead a weight for the old Troup party,and too slippery a fellow for the old Clark party, he hopes now to impose himself upon the people as a patent Union Democratic Republican compound (no. 6.) ■>f both the old parties, and thus to ascend the bench, and put on the Ermine. So great is the rage for rewarding new converts, that whole families are provided for without stint. Arro anee oftentimes succe ds by dint of its very froward ss, and throws itselfby unwearied perseverance, mall >'XP defeat after defeat, into places to which ’.ts proper rits never would have carried it. No denial can damp ts ardor, no defeat can check its froward and obtrusive urns, and no disappointment can app'-a se its craving petite for office. In these characters it is an uncon pierablespirit Put it down here and it rises there—de bet it there and it shows itself yonder—extinguish its of es yonder and lo! it -s b .ck here asain, and its cry is still for office! office!! offing!!! How strong an exempli-- 'ieation of this remark is to be found in the course aid eouduct of some of these ‘whole families” who have gone ver to the Carthagenians and have received their reward. ■ elf-nominated, they presumptuously aspireto the Gov ernor's chair!—popular disgust drives them from that position, and they strike for a seat in Congress: buffeted here also, they modestly put in their claims to a vacant judgeship, but like TaqUlus, “with his raging thirst,’’ are again and again disappointed; but taking no kind of offence whatever at these repeated discouragements they conclude that the speaker’s chair of the House, or a seat in the reduction convention would be better than nothing at all, and straight way these small boons are asked and ev. n they are refused. But the appetite is not yet satis ii d—the longing after office is not yet quenched—arro gance is not yet put to the blush—and now we behold th se same notorious characters with their political masks offed and their faces white-washed anew, dancing their •populorum gigs” before a new tribunal and haunting noth r party with their eternal cry after office; &. finally ve now find them snugly quartered in the Treasury office nd upon the Con ressionatTicket! How happy!! But most gratifying part of the conduct ofth.se tergi versants, is to be found in the able and eloquent slang which hey throw upon the great body of the Tronp party whom they have deserted in their chase after the offices. are you question the unvarying political consistency, or the unrivalled sagacity of our “energetic” Governor, and vou are met by the Troup Union presses, with peals of buse which the very thunders might envy—whole col utns are expended in his defence, and so ove.r-xeafolia. Are . 1.:.. ... -gTugnps are penned in pelling charges never yet made! Dare you to ques tion the policy of Andrew Jackson, or the principles of his Proclamation, or his divine right to the control of the public purse, and your ears are instantly deafened with their hosannas to “the greatest and best,” “the glorious victory of New Orleans,” “the hero of two wars,” “the old Chieftain with his HICKORY CLUB,” accompanied at the same time with denunciations upon your devoted head, compared to which the curses ot Doctor Slop are very blessings and benedictions; and to conclude the whole, with uplifted hand they assert that Jackson “HAS DONE MORE FORTHECOUNTRY THAN ANY ■TWO PRESIDENTS since the days of Washington”!!!! Thus an extinguisher is put upon the glory of Mr. Jef ferson’s administration, who together with Madison and Monroe are thrown into obscurity and night by the blaze of “glory” that issues from the oracles of this Jupi ter Tonans, who thunders & lightens in proclamations & protests, & feeds with “arpetite rariona” C pn “ \ ON STF.RS”—"Coalitions"— “gorgons and chimeras dire!!" —■ VV c shall publish next week the letter of David An- Iderson and William Dunlap of So.

The law fixes the relative value of gold and silver at 16 to one which raises the value of tho former 6 2-3 per cent , and will make the pure gold taken from the mines worth some thing like 102 cents per penny-weight—it my calculations are right you see the advantage which will arise to our miners and will make it |pruii< nt in them to refrain from sales of their sgold until they learn whether the law finally passes, the result if which must now be known in a few days.
