ODE TO COLUMBIA.
Columbia's shores are wild and wide,
C olumbia’s hills are high,
And, rudely planted siffe by *ide,
Her forests meet the eye.
Yet narrow must those shores be made,
And low Columbia’#, hills,
And low h®r ancient forest laid.
Ere Freedom leaves her fields.
For Tis the sp.it where rude and wild,
She played her gambols when a child.
The breeze, that waves the mountain-pine,
Is fragrant and serene,
And n®ver ebarer sun did shine
Than lights her vallies green;
Vet putrid must those breezes blow,
That sun must set in gore,
Ere footsteps of a foreign foe
Imprint Columbia’s shore.
For, oh! Columbia’s sons are free,
Tlieir hearts i>eat high with liberty.
Though deep and wide her streams that Gow
Impetuous to the title,
And thick and green her laurels grow
On < very river’s sid *.
Yet should some transatlantic host
Pollute her waters fair.
They’ll meet them <>:i Hie marshy coast,
And gather laurels there.
For, oh! Columbia's sons are brave,
And free us ocean's wildest wave.
For a-ming b«*Jdest cuirassier
Th.y’ve mines of sterling worth.
For sword nnd buckler, spur and spear,
Kmb..welled in the earth;
And ere Columbia's sons resign
That boon their fathers won,
The polished ore from every mine
Shall glitter in the sun.
lor bright the blade and sharp the spear
Which Freedom’s sons to battle bear.
Let Britain boast Hie deed.< she’s done,
Display her trophies bright,
And count her laurels bravely won,
In wrll contested fight,
Columbia can array a band
To wrest that laurel wrc«th,
With ke ener eye and steadsr hand
To ilrike the blow of death.
For whether on the land or sea,
Columbia’s fight is victory.
Let Frarre in blood through Europe wade,
Aral n her frantic mood.
In civil dsrord draw the blade
To dfink her children's blood.
Too dear tho skill in arms is bought,
VVheie kindred life-blood flows,
Columbia’s sons are only taught
To triumph o’er tlieir toes,
And ihen 1 o comfort, soothe and save
The feelings gf a conquered brave.
Then let Columbia’s eagle soar,
And bear her banner high,
With thunder in her dexter power,
And lightning ir. her eye,
And when she sees, from realms above,
The storms of war have spent,
Descending like a ineek-eyed dove,
The olive branch present.
Then shall beauty’s hand divine
The never-withering wreath entwine.

spoke of the drean. A last it was realized in his
own melancholy ate. He was drowned, as de
scribed above—ightswere procured, and the
body was searcled (f, though in vain—but,
just as the party were about to leave the spot,
the head of the mfortjnate gentleman rose up,
nnd every featue wa distinctly visible in the
torch-light abovothe witor. A very near rela
tive ot the deceased irstantly exclaimed, “Ah,
now Edward’s dream is verified.”—Inverness

Srgalo.— It was in the course of his travels
in Egypt that the first hint of his extraordinary
discovery occurred to him. In going from
Oundi-KIfa to Wograt, in the province of Sok-
kot, across the eastern chain, he saw one of
those tremendous phenomena, not uncommon
in the deserts, particularly those bordering on
the Nile, in Upper Nubia, a whirlwind of the
desert, or terrene water-spout. These terrible
meteors sometimes continue in one spot, expand
ed in an oblong form, where they touch the
earth, thence assuming that of a perfect cylin
der, they reach high into the air, anil darken it
with clouds of sand whirled about itt every di
rection. At the point where they touched the
desert, so extensive and profound is the excava
tion they leave, that it might b ■ taken for the
bed of a huge lake. At other times becoming
moveable, and in all other respects maintaining
their ordinary character, they fiv through the
•pT-inj; it up in their course to an extent
in i roportiou to tlieir width at the base, and 'leav
ing behind them what resembles the bed of a
torrent.
Segato fell in with the track of one of these
progressive whirl winds, and unintimidated by
the proximity of so dangerous a neighbor, con
tinued to follow the deep ravine it scooped out,
and to examine the wrecks it made or disinter
red. Some fragments »f a cnrbonizedjsubstance
presented themselves to the scrutinizing eye of
the philosopher. Subjected to more minute ex
amination, lie recognis 'd animal remains, and
especially those of the human species. He at
la t found an entire body, the flesh and bones
comjrfetely caibonized, the otic black as char
coal, the other of a sooty hue, and both friable.
He plainly perceived in this corpse the human
figure^ though shrunk to a third of its natural
dimensions. That which to another, would
have been merely an object of barren wonder,
became to Segato the first hint of his discovery.
He brooded upon it for years; he exhausted all
his science upon various experiments; often dis
appointed, but never disheartened, he continu
ed to interrogate nature, until, wearied as it
would seem by his importunity, he has at length
extorted from her one of her mysteries.
In the course of his perserving researches,
he effected, vith great labor, an entrance into
the pyramid of A bn.Si r. Remaining there six
da vs he contracted from the foul air of cata
combs, a tedious and painful malady, which
was pronounced incurable, and the unfortu
nate Segato returned to his country, merely, as
it was believed, to die. After arriving at Leg
horn, however, the strength of his constitution
triumphed over the disease. lie resumed his
experiments with fresh ardor. The first puhiic
notice given of his success was a very mod
est one, by the author himself, in the
login, vol. 44, No. 132, December, 1831, p
At that time he had not acquired the means of
\>etr>f'j ng animal substances so perfectly as at
present; and in employing the terms petrify and
]tclriJic(ihon, he warns his readers that he uses
them in a new literary sense, to signify an in
duration, resembling and approaching that of a
stone, not a petrifaction in the scientific sense
of the word.

<• The Doomed, One."—Many of our readers
will recollect that a fewyears ago a gentleman of
respectable family and connexions in this county
was unfortunately drowned in the Caledonia
Canal, after just landing on its bank from a Glas-
gow vessel. He had lent, his arm to a female
passenger; the night was dark, and by a false
step both were precipitated into the water,
where they perished. Very early in life, whilst
residing in the Hast Indies, this gentlemann
dreamt that he was engaged in company with
several persons, in seeking for the body of a
drowned man; they to;ling long and anxiously,
with lights, boats, nnd grappling irons, but in
vain. At length, when they were about to a-
Imndon the fruitless search, something was seen
to rise slowly out of the waler; it asumed the
form of a human head, and to his horror he
saw that the countenance was his ownf He a-
wolce in great agitation, and had some difficulty

On the FORTIFICATION MLL, delivered in Coratniitee
of the .Whole on lie staiof tho Union, in tho House of
Representatives, 01 Wednesday, May 11, 1936.
(COXTirUKD ROM OUR LAST.)
Sir, since Ur hoiorable gentleman has
assumed the ofice d' reviewing the docu
ments and eonmurications ot the Presi
dent with a view tcpoint out any incon
sistency that nay tnpair their eflect, I
must be permited lo invite his attention
to parts of twt lctiers containing impor
tant matters fbm an honorable senator
from Tennessee, and who is now before
the people as acandidate ibr the office of
President, (I mean the honorable H. L.
White.) I should suppose the honorabl
member could not object to this; he would
doubtless fi*- 1 ^ ,c oDiiyaituu us great to
point on* inconsistencies in reference to
judge White as he has in relation to gc-
ncr jj Jackson. Sir, I send to the clerk an
tract of a letter from the honorable
Hugh L. White to Pryor Lea Esq. dated
July 14, 1S27, and ask the reading of the
same. Read as follows:
Extract of a letter from the honorable Hugh
I. White, to Enjor Lea Esq. dated July
14, 1827.
“Doctor Wiatt had been represented
bv those in whom I thought I could con
fide, as the friend of -Mr. Clay, and not*as
the friend of General Jackson; and Mr.
Miller, as in truth wishing to use the name of
General Jackson, only for the purpose of se
curing the electioti oj Mr. Adams, by divid
ing the western rote."
“Whether these representations were
true or false, as it related to Dr. Wiatt
and Mr. Miller, is not now in the least ma
terial. They were undoubtedly made,
and by' those in whom I thought I could
confide, and in whom I did confide at that
time, and honestly believing that no one
of tho four was the friend of Jackson’s
election. So far as he was concerned, 1
held it perfectly immaterial which of them
succeeded, as against the others. But it
is further slated, that I supported colonel
Willi ams for the senate of the United
States against General Jackson hitnself,
and went so far as to call General Jack-
son “an ungrateful, black-hearted scoun
drel.” There is in this charge a mistake.
I supported colonel Williams in opposi
tion to Mr. Miller, by all fair means in ray
power, and when there was an attempt to
run Jackson himself as a candidate, in oppo
sition to Williams, I used my utmost exertion
to prevent his name from being used as a
candidate. It appeared to me, that one
strong ground on which General Jackson
was supported for the presidency in other
Slates was, that he was at home, attending
to his private <business, not using any means to
secure his election cs presid :nt; and I candidly
bell red. that if the legislature elected him to
the senate, it would be believed in those States
that he was placed in Washington to election
eer Jar the presidency, as well as the other can
didates, and that such an impression would do
him more injury than the election of colonel
Williams, his enemy."
Mr. Chairman, 1 advert to this letter for
the purpose of showing that Judge White,
in his present position before the people
of ti." United States, has, like many other
gentlemen, lived long enough, by practice
to contradict the maxims of early life; and
1 will now here repeat what I have often
said in private and in public, that I will
not aim one blow at Judge White only in
self-defence. For his private and public
life, (if I may be allowed to use the lan
guage of his friend, the member from
Tennessee, when speaking of the presi
dent and his administration) “up to a late
period, I entertained the most profound
respect:” a regard, sir, based upon the
conviction that be was a plain, unassum
ing, unambitious man, content to fill that
station where his services could be best
directed to the advancement of the great
interest of the country. That 1 can,
however, reconcile bis present position
with what I supposed to be bis early po
litical notions, would be an unworthy af-
loclation, and a concealment Tjf feelings
incompatible with a sense of duty. It
will be remembered that the honorable
gentleman admitted, that he had “spoken
with great freedom of the course of the
party in power,” and that he had not
“spared his. censure when lie thought it
was deserved,” and that “he should con
tinue to exercise that privilege,” See.
It was perhaps unnecessary for the hon
orable gentleman to have given this no
tice, f»r L believe none that heard him
doubted, lor a moment, that he had enjoy
ed a very great latitude, and was quite
merciless in his castigation, considering
he had “been, until a late period,” one of
the leading members of the very party he
was denouncing. Others there were, so
curious as to express some wish to know
the exact point of time when th° domin
ant party fell from grace, and where the
honorable member from Tennessee (Mr.
Bell) then was. One thing must be con
ceded on all brands. From the number of
crimes charged by the gentleman from
Tennessee on the party, he must have
been with them a part of the time, and
should share a part of the censure, or else
his leave of the party was a very’ sad ca-
- . • , r . u .i ■ l amity for the country, as their degeneracy
in shaking of! the vtved impression left by tins ^ ^ M ]mg no
phantom of the night. Years afterwards the
same circumstance occurred to him in the West
Indies. The dream, with all its appalling ac-
COinpanimcnts of seeming reality, haunted his
couch, and terrified his imagination. His duties
afterwards led him to return home, and lie
hoped he had ever parted with the unwelcome
vision. In this however, he was destined to be
disappointed; a third time did the same scene
appear before him, as clearly and as indelibly
imprinted on bis mind as on the lonner occa
sions. He talked of the singular circumstance
among his .friends, and many must yet remem-
But, sir, to return to the principles as
serted in this letter. In the fir-t part is
clearly' to be gathered Judge White’s un
willingness that the'party then supporting
General Jackson should be divided, for
he distinctly charges Mr. Miller with us
ing the name of General Jackson only for
the purpose of securing the election of
Mr. Adams, by dividing the western vote.
Well, then, if it was wrong in principle to
divide the western vote at that dav, to
elect a particular individual, would the
same tiling that was wrong then be right
now? I take it lbr granted that it it was
wrong at that time to divide the Jackson
party, and thereby destroy their influence
in the election for a president, it certainly
would be wrong, if there was any princi
ple in the position assumed, to divide the
same party now in electing a president; or
will it be contended that so soon as Ge
neral Jackson’s name is out ot the ques
tion, when he is no more before the peo
ple, the party that supported him, known
as well by the name of the Jackson, the
administration, the republican, and the
party, is dead, and that therefore the posi
tion Judge White now occupies is ribt cal
culated to divide the party? To my mind
it is clear, that Judge White at that time
believed it wrong that in the separation of
the people of these States by parties
founded upon principle, there should be a
division of strength between members of
the same party; and that this opi nion was
correct it strikes me all must agree, so
long as they profess to act upon principle.
When it is men only', and not measures of
public policy, then every' man can and
should indulge his personal preference.—
II<j\v Judge White sustains the doctrine
he then entertained, let his present, posi
tion speak. But, sir, the balance of this
letter in regard to his course to General
Jackson is full of instruction and bitter
reproof. Hear with what delicate sensi
bility he was disposed to guard the honor
of General Jackson. Judge White says
he supported colonel Williams against Mr.
Miller, and “when there was an attempt
to run Jackson himself as a candidate in
opposition to Williams, he used his utmost
exertion to prevent his name from being
used.” Again, the judge says, “it appear
ed to him that General Jackson was sup
ported for the presidency because he teas at
home attending to his private business, not us
ing any means to secure his election as
president;” and the judge further says,
that “if General Jackson had been placed
in Washington, the impression would have
been that it was to electioneer, nnd that
such an impression would have done more
injury' than to elect colonel Williams, his
enemy,”
Now, sir, I am quite satisfied that Judge
White, on this occasion, reasoned in a
manner peculiar to himself; and he was
so opposed to the slightest suspicion rest
ing on General Jackson, that he would
consent to elect his enemy over him as
lesser evil. I admire those delicate rela
tions of private friendship—I admire the
sagacity of the friend whose discemin
eye can better see and understand my in
terest than I can myself; but I am not
prepared to say that 1 could relish so well
that species of friendship that would pre
fer the-deration of my enemy, for fear that,
in the event of my success, my motives might
be questioned. But taking the judge’s rule
as correct, that a man should not be in the
senate of the United States for fear that
lie might be suspected of electioneering,
and how does lie stand? Why, we all
.know very well. The judge is in the se
nate, y'ct he find such scruples about Ge-
ral Jackson, that he supposed it might
injure his election in some of the States!
Sir, I can come to but one of two conclu
sions in relation to this letter; either that
Judge White regarded the interest of Ge
neral Jackson better than his own, and
could trust himself to temptation sooner than
General Jackson, or otherwise he stands
convicted of preaching one creed and
practising another. Sir, I forbear further
coirtment upon this extract. 1 have given
it entire, so far as relates to that matter,
that all may have equal means with my
self in forming conclusions. I frankly
confess, if Judge White meant any thing
by that letter, 1 cannot reconcile his course
to it.
Mr. Chairman, I have another extract
of a letter of Judge White’s, written to
John Ross, a. Cherokee Chief, dated 2Gth
April, 1S24, which I will send to the
Clerl: to be read. The letter was read,
as follows.
Extract from the letter of the Honorable
Hugh L. White, to John lloss, dated A-
prU '26, lS24r.
“To collect a tax from merchants, to
compel them to pay a small portion of
their profits, at stated periods, for the
support of the Government, where they
transact their business, has been a very
common mode of collecting revenue; and
no State has been charged with attempt
ing to regulate commerce where they
have exercised such power. Why, then,
should the Cherokeos be denied the pow
er, because, by possibility', they might a-
buse it, and undertake to regulate trade?
I have beliered, and still do, that under the
treaties, the Chrrokc.cs must be considered a
nation, possessing like powers with other na
tions, except so far as they have surrendered
their independence to the United States.—
That they' have made surrenders of power in
many important particulars, but that they
have not surrendered the poirer of making
municipal regulations for their own internal
government; that among the powers they still
retain, is that of imposing and collecting
taxes.
“I regret exceedingly that to y'ou I have
ever given any opinion upon a subject
that interests your nation. Had I known
the purpose for which it was desired, 1
should liave been silent, but having given
such an one as I honestly' entertained, I
cm never express any other until convinced
of my error."
In order that the opinion of Judge
White may be fully understood at the
date of this letter, I will make a statement
of facts as related to me, and which I
suppose true. Mr. John Ross was then,
as he is now one of the leading chiefs of
the Cherokee Indians, residing within the
chartered limits of the State of Georgia,
a part of the same nation extending into
the States of Tennessee and North Caro
lina, Mr, Ross, himself, residing within
the limits of Georgia, as I have always
understood. He addressed Judge Withe,
who had great reputation as a jurist in the
section where he resided, for his opinion,
with regard lo the power the Cherokee*
had to pass and enforce laws for their in
dependent Government, and especially to
obtain his opinion on the power of said
nation to»collect taxes, &c. In answer to
the points presented by Mr. lloss, die let
ter from which the above is an extract,
was written by Judge White, and upon
the authority' of that letter, as I have been
informed; mid which opinion is author
ized by the letter itself, the Cherokees
did proceed to organize an independent
Government within the limits of Georgia,
claiming for that government exclusive
jurisdiction, criminal and civil, over all
that portion of Georgia known as the
Cherokee nation. Whether the opinion
thus delivered was intended by Judge
White to influence the Indians in the
course they adopted, is not important,
nor do I believe, or pretend to charge up
on him, a motive to inspire those Indians
with the enjoyment of political rights in
compatible with the rights of Georgia,
under the constitution. But, sir, that the
opinion expressed in this letter is wrong,
that it lias been the cause of great trouble,
inconvenience, and perplexity', to the au
thorities of Georgia, every person ac
quainted with the circumstances, will
readily admit.
.Sir, let it not be said that the opinion
here expressed, “J have believed, and still
do, that under the treaties, the Cherokees
must be considered a nation, possessing like
powers with other nations, except so far as
they hare surrended their independence to the
United States." I say, let it not be said
that Judge White had no reference to the
authorities of the respective States in
which the Indians then re sided. It is im
possible that lie could avail himself of
this position. He was speaking of and
to the Cherokee Indians as they' were,
and precisely where they were at
that time. He spoke of the powers they
then had; and the doctrine contained in
his letter is, that they were independent,
or, in his own language, “A nation pos
sessing like powers with other nations, except
so far as they hare surrendered their inde
pendence to the United States." The opin
ion here expressed with the utmost pre
cision, as I consider it, is that the Chero
kee Indians residing within the limits of
the State of Georgia, Tennessee, and
North Carolina, are a nation possessing
all the powers of the most perfect sove
reignties, except the powers surrendered
to the Federal Government; and among
the powers surrendered is not the pow
er of taxation. There is no authoriiy
recognised in Georgia and North Carolina
over the respective portions of those Indi
ans that reside within their limits. But
they are asserted to be independent of
them, unless, forsooth, by some treaty
stipulation with the General Government,
the right of the States is recognized.
Sir, 1 undertake to maintain that there
was no authority in the treaty-making
power of the Federal Government to di
vest Georgia of the right of controlling, in
her own way, the inhabitants within her
limits, and making them subject to her
own laws, criminal as well as civil.—
The soil of Georgia was derived from a
royal charter, before the revolution, re
cognized under the confederation, and
guarantied by' the federal constitution.—
The constitution, if it guaranties to the
people of Georgia any thing, it secures
them a republican form of Government
and the chartered limits of their State,
which cannot be altered but by their own
consent. How, then, can Georgia be said
to enjoy a republican form of govern
ment, and jurisdiction over her soil and
territory, when one-fifth of that territory
is in the occupancy of a tribe of Indians,
organized into such a government as they'
may choose to adopt? Yet Judge White’s
argument means this, if it means any
tiling and that the meaning was so un
derstood, is established by the fact that
upon the authority of that opinion, the
Cherokees actually proceeded, as I have
been informed by the brother of John
Ross, to organize a government of their
own. Judge White says that the opin
ion, as expressed in his letter, “is such
an one as he honestly entertained,” and
that he could “never express any' other
until convinced of his error.” Now, Mr,
Chairman, since the honoralrle gentleman
(Mr. Bell) has derived infinite pleasure
in looking into the present and past opin
ions of the President, and feels it his du
ty to point out any inconsistencies that
will impair their force, I would desire to
know whether the opinion, then honestly
entertained and plainly pronounced in
this letter, is still the opinion of Judge
White; or has he been convinced of hi
“error” nnd shifted his ground? I leave
the question of consistency and “error
for his friends to settle.
Mr. Chairman, the principles, as I un
derstand them, asserted by Judge Wliite
should be understood by' my constituents
A large, respectable, and enterprising por
tion of the population of Georgia are now
residing upon the lands occupied by the
Indians in that territory’. The pretention
set up by this tribe of Indians within the
limits of Georgia, was subversive of all
order, .and so dangerous to life and pro
perty, that the authorities of that State
without a total disregard of the highest
obligation, could not longer suffer a state
of things so mischievous to continue; .and
Georgia was, from a sense of duty to her
free white population, not leiss than to the
red population, compelled to interpose and
assert her doubtless right of jurisdiction
and occupancy’ of the waste lauds in that
region. Good order, morals, religion and
humanity alike demanded, that she should
act as became a people humane and be
nevolent; ;md she was not to be detered
from doing a great public good, for fear
that they might incur the reproach of those
who are always ready to offer tlieir sym
pathy gratis and their charity sparingly'.
Sir, the people of my State have suffered
long and patiently the tardy movements
of the government in relieving them of a
population troublesome and dangerous.—
It has not been until since this administra
tion came into power that the first efficient
step was taken to assert the just rights of
Georgia. The doctrines of Judge Whi^
have been overruled. The Cherokee c
of laws that were in direct collision wi
die laws of Georgia have been afirogat
andtbe Indian has been told, in the spi
of friendship, and with the candor d
the occasion, tliat their right to esttiblis
an independent government within the
mits of Georgia could receive no count-
nance or sanction from the administrati
They have been advised to emigrate;
council of the president has been di
garded; two treaties have been formed f
and a few days must settle the f-
whether we are to have these people se
tied upon us throughout all time, or wheth
er the policy of the government will
carried out.
Mr. Chairman, I will not ask of the
gentleman to reconcile other political act*
of Judge White. His course iu the se
nate in reference to several subjects, but
specially in relation to certain nomina
tions, I leave for Judge White Jo setde for
himself. It may' be, dial he can give sat-
sfactorv reasons to his countrymen for the
votes lie has given. I would hope ho
could. I have no right to ask of him to
do so. All that I liave to say is, it would
have been well had lie adopted the course
"that oocmed to him as the ground on which
some of the States were supporting General
Jackson, because he was-at home, attending to
his own private affairs, and taking no part in
any plan to secure his own elevation."
Mr. Chairman, there is another position
taken by the honorable member from Ten
nessee, that in my opinion, deserves some
consideration; I do not know that I should
notice it, but for the belief that it has been,
for the first time, asserted, and is there
fore properly recognized as one of the
principles of the new organization, of
which the honorable gentleman is the re
puted head. Sir, what is that principle?
I give it as written by the genUeman liirn-
self: “ To vote money is the least difficult and
most pleasant duty of a representative of the
people. It requires neither experience, indus
try, talents, nor fidelity, in members." If the
honorable member is ambidous of secur
ing to himself the character of originali
ty, of discovering tilings that do not exist,
of asserting principles that the judgment
of every man must condemn, he could
scarcely have becrignore fortunate than in
this instance. What, sir, is it indeed true,
that the most pleasant part of our legisla
tive duty' is to vote away the money of our
constituents? Have we arrived to that
station where we have the least difficulty',
and derive die greatest pleasure, by thrust
ing our hands into the pockets of our con
stituents; taking tlieir money and vclinar
it away'? I could hardly have expectetf
an avowal of such an alarming character;
and coming from that honorable gentle
man, struck me with profound amazement.
I trust, sir, that he will not insist that this
was an original Jackson principle, hut has
been one picked up by' him since the de
generacy ol that party became so disgust
ing that he was compelled to separate
himself from them. But that is not all.—
The honorable gentleman says, Jraju'i roor
neither experience, industry, talents, norfideli
ty in members.” Therefore the honora
ble gendeman means to be understood as.
maintaining, for the first time in this coun
try, that inexperience, indolence, ignor
ance, and dishonesty’, are the qualifica
tions best calculated to subserve the true
interest of the people on all questions con
nected widi the least difficult and most
pleasant duty’ of the representative, voting
away the people’s money. Sir, a charge
so palpably derogatory to the character of
this house, so insulting to the good sens©
of every' member on this floor, cannot re
quire a more special notice from me. Let
the honorable gentleman go home to Ten
nessee and tell bis constituents that it i»
the least difficult and most pleasant part
of his duty to vote a wav their money', and
my' word for it, dicy' will give him the ap
propriate response.
Mr. Chairman, the honorable gentle
man, in the range of his denunciation of
men and measures, took occasion to be-
stow a passing notice on the secretary of
State, (Mr. Forsy th.) He was pleased to
speak of him as a “most” orthodox “sec
retary’ of State;” and, with a very confi
dent expectation of establishing a charge
of fearful magnitude, proceeded to the
introduction of his proof. Whether th©
secretary of State will be able to survive
the wound, time alone will tell. Tliat he
and all the administration must have felt
awfully' alarmed, had they' have beer, so
unfortunate as to have heard the gentle
man from Tennessee, will, perhaps, ad
mit of some question. But that the secre
tary will likely live as long, wtdk as c-
rect, be as faithful to the public interest
under the merciless blows of the gentle
man from Tennessee, as if no such inci
dent had ever occurred, I think quite cer
tain. Sir, there is such a thing as over
shooting, as well as under-shooting.
The honorable gentleman from Tennes
see is entitled to all the credit due a brave,
but weak man, for the assault he has
made, or attempted to make, on Mr. For
syth; for really I am not entirely certain
that an attack intended and attempted, but
not discovered by the assailed, can pro
perly' be considered an assault. The hon
orable gentleman came to the field with
the c image of a true knight, guarded at
every point, but so encumbered with his
armour of steel that his strong arm, pow
erful as it is, cou’d not send the arrow to
its appointed victim; hec< old s?e the ob
ject of his hatred, far removed from dan
ger; every effort but increased his anxiety,
every failure but chafed ihe feverish spirit
of revenge.
Sir, if the honorable member Would al
low me to offer him a single suggestion-
it would be to look for another victim.-—
The secretary'of State stands high, ele
vated, and endeared to every man of any
party who can appreciate a fearless, on
ward, independent discharge of public
duty; who can appreciate the most refined
sense of honor; who can do homage to
that transcendent genius that lifts the mag
to the highest scale in moral grandettr.
Occupying, as does Mr, Forsyth, a pesi-
