Washington, February 2, 163o. *
Dear Sir—1 see no objection to aneworingyonr inquiry,
nor to your communicating to tlie public (lie result of Inf* ex
periments made on Saturday, as I do not peicaive how it ran
executive(he asked) “was lie to he told that Ihe
only blame was to berast rn the organization of the
department, and the only remedy icasto be found in
a reorganization?” “There had been deep turpi
tude connected with this department, audits exis
tence had been permitted for years, until it had pro
duced the final and monstrous corruptions which
had been now developed. Government hud n»l ytl
crept to the nice of manhood, AND VET IT HAD
OBTAINED THIS MATURITY OK COR
RUPTION.” He asked, “WHEN THE PRE
SIDENT CIIOSE TO ASSUME IT AS HIS
OvVN ACT, WAS THIS HOUSE TO SUB
MIT?” “HE WAS ANXIOUS TO LAY HIS
HANDS ON THE CULPRITS.”
Mr. Calhoun supported his colleague with the
following denunciations-:
“Mr. Calhoun said he. earnestly hoped that some senator
would present a resolution expressing the sentiments and feil-
lugs of the senate, on the cross corruptions which had
been exposed in the report, lie hud. hstem.. with the profound-
ist attention to the\rciuhng gf the report and documents, and
could solemnly aver that his most powerful fa ling a were those
of the deepest shame and mortifeation. During the tirnntp-
twoyears in which he had insomejurm or other bemi connect
ed with the government, he never could have conceived that
suck ROTTENNESS, Sl'CII CORRUPTION, SUCH ANOHINA*
bee violations of trust, cmild'ever exist in uny of its
de/iarlments as those he had just listened to, he repeated, with
the utmost mortification. The guilt of this department was
open arid juilpable .Vo one on the floor of the senate couhl be
bold enough to rise in his place to extenuate or palliate it. All
taw and lamented the rapid strides which deep and
DEBASING CORRUPTION* HAD MADE IN IT. It EXCEEDED
ANY THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE HOTTENEST AGES.
OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.”
Air. Preston came out in another speech in sup
port of Mr. Calhoun, ami foamed otit new denmi-
ciatious. ‘'determined t<> stein the title which sets
so fearfully against us.? “He considered il to be
his duly, under his onltr, to d* every thing within
the grasp of Jris ab'dily to arrest the torrent of cor
ruption which was spreading its destructive inunda
tion orer the land. L r n!css this teas dene, God only
knew what would be llic consequence'
These tirades were renewed, the next day by
the same senators, hut still more obscenely and vio
lently. Mr. Preston represented the “M AGGClTS
as Working in the very vitals of
THE GOVERNMENT.” The decency nf the
reporters, however, suppressed the figure ol speech.
• Mr. Csihodn, on his part, repeated ink invectives '
in soured s,-. .- and said that aii the-abuses'
he pour-rayed were sustained by the president.
Now, we ask. whether a desperado and a p;trti-
san, hearing ill these things, especially-iC i.'.oodv
and some,vh‘tt m*on strueic as those who had his
sympathies on theirside, would .now, in ‘their sym
pathy lor hint represent, might n->t have.his imag
ination so influenced by these speeches, as to find
■ remedy for the despairing statesman? The sul-
and . dpp-vhrer*ding fanatic has l/oni his boy-
• 5 the lire bf fire-arms.—
ive has byen always a.'kecn spot 1 1 sin an, bringing
down game on the wing with tlie most unerring
aim. In the habit, too, of using the pistol, was it
not natural that his h thitual propensity to employ
them should suggest the hiode ot rebel-for the
coinury’s disasters which he put into reqttisilfou?
Some motive must have pointed out the president
as a victim to otter as a sacrifice, in celebration of
the funeral of the-honorable Warren R. Davis, of
Sou*h Carolina, the friend and relative of Mr.
Calhoun. And even if he were admitted to he a
maniac, it would require some association ot ideas,
to bring him in conflict with tlie president on such
an occasion- Wluit we have offered, is but con
jecture, as to tlie conclusions, although vre lipid
ourselves bound to refer to the most unquestionable
proof for every fact we have mentioned.
That speeches made under such circumstances,
might lead to al-trming consequences, we Live
alujndant proof in tin* phrensy produce i in the
minds ol politicnl partisans duting tf.e jnnic >t! tiiC
Iasi season. We give Specjmetis of the furious
denunciation of the last year, and three or four ol
the assassination letters, out of more than a hun
dred received bv the president. It will he seen in
them how perfectly tlie feelings of infuriated par
tisans, down to the lowest vulgar, echoed hack tlie
voice of the senate house. If tlie wretches at a
distance could he so worked upon fiy senatorial an
athemas, and the contagion of party fever, is it
strange that one on the spot, vindictive and deter
mined to the last degree,' should be found daring
enough to do, what so many had the heart to threat
en?
We hope the public will bear it in mind, that we
have not even insinuated that Mr. Calhoun m any
of those tfrho have assailed trie president so unfeel
ingly in the senate, intended to exasperate an as
sassin to strike at his life. We did not allude u>
their mot ves of adieu in -our article, fint to those
which actuated ihe ferocious mSt.n who showed
himself willing to use daggers, - while they only
spoke them—and yet we find Mr. Calhoun com
ing out in defence,,as if he .himself had been im
plicated.
We ap'jv.'ti 1 several statements to correct certain
■fabrications which have appeared on tins subject
iu the Telegraph a-nd Intelligencer. The Tele
graph, for itis'ance, states that tlie prisoner was
liberated front his former imprisonment on the plea
of insanity. The statement, of Mr. Swann, tvho
procured Ins liberation, shows this to be wholly un
funded. A folse statement, apd still falser insinu
ation, is also made about the’pistols* in the same
print. • This is repeiled by the statement of Mr.
itey, wlfich is confirmed by written t ■plies id our
possession, from- Mr. Donelson, and the marshal,
general Hunter. A retiort was also circulated in
the city, that dm pistols - were loaded after they
were snapped. This is an absolute falsehood.—
The pistols were brought into court by cofond
Burd. He rushed on tlie prisoner as lie used the
last pistol, and he possessed .himself’ of onb. while
-lieutenant Gedney, we believe, seized the oilier.—
They ascertained, by- measuring, that, both were
phirged, and it was perfectly proved that they
were tpeH charged, by drawing the bail from one,
and emptying the powder, in the presence of the
court and colonel Burd, who had delivered them dp
to the officers of the law,-precisely in the state in
which he received them.
With regard to the statements of the Intelligen
cer, we Live ascertained, and will hereafter show,
that the must material ones are sheer fabrications.
At present, ivc Itpve not time to* make another re
mark before putting our sheet to press.
