Mr. Ewing said, that in making up the
report, the majority of tho committee had
communicated 10 the minority, the sub
jecti of tho rcport.so that they might make
up their Jjjsiv of all the Subject! without
examiningrum views of the majority. Air.

heard the report read, nor known' what

the report, that there were two or threo
cases of contributors which had not been

forgotten them.
The paper of the minority nl tho Cotn-

Mr. Ewing then moved the printing of
the reports, together with certain neces
sary documents. The printing was order

Mr. Southard moved that 15,000 extra

Mr. Webster suggesied that the Chair

mendment by Air. .Mangum, to the effect
that 30.000 extra copies of the reports
should be prioted, was ultimately agreed
to, add the whole subject was postponed
till to-inorrow.
SPECIAL ORDERS.
Adjournment of Congress'
Tlte resolution from the, other House
relative to the adjournment of Congress oo
the 30th of this month, was then taken op
and agfoed to.
The resolution offered by Mr. Poindex
ter, proposing an earlier meeting of Con
gress at next session, was then consul-
. ered, and after a few words from Mr.
and-others, was laid on the table.
Mr. IV;!!;'.;; get; t,ut*uc that he ehumd
on Thursday next move that the S enate
go into Executive session.
Air. Clay moved that the Secretary of the
Senate be directed to prepare a list of the
slgoefs of such petitions as had bee recei
ved since the last report made upon that
subject. Motion agreed to.
House of Representatives, June 9.
Mr. Wiseaddresed the House at length
on the memorial frnm|Gloucester County,
and on lIr resolutions which he had pro
posed to offer to it. The following short
and imperfect sketch of some ofthe argu
ments used by Air. W. is given in advance
of bis remarks at length, which we hope
to be able to give on a future occaslop.
Air. W. said he expected to be permit
ted to bring it forward without interrup
tion, bot the honorable gentleman from
the Committee of Ways and Aleanstho't
otherwise. , The memorial and the reso
- lutions attached to it, were of more im
portaoce than any appropriation bill that
had ever passed that Honse. The me
mortal called upon Coogress to vindicate
the-supremacy of the laws and the Con*
dilution. He had moved its reference
to a Scl,ect Committee, with instructions
to report to the House. The resolutions
effected the theory of the Constitution Si
the laws,,and the object foi which they
contended, was, that they should not be im
paired, Other gentlemen' might have
different views, but to him the conviction
nfits importance was overwhelming. Was
he to be told again that the resolutions
had no legislative action—that they wore
merely declaratory?
Hero Mr. W. gave way for the reading
of the resolntions, aod then proceeded.
He who had raised that objection to
, which he had tefcrted.had read neither
English nor American history,or had read
them both without deriving any benefit,
lie then showed some of the principal
features of the history of this country,from
th< revolution to the present time, and
said,it was enough for him to see that the
people in their primary assemblies,always
looked.for the redress of their grievances.
There was no occasion to apply for the
redress of grievances. The time had
come, when we bad to revert to first prin
eiples. *
The voice of his constituents, in this
memorial bad reached here just befoVe
the attack of the President had reached
the-Senate. It came now too soon,—
However it might hare been anticipated
by others, the protest was astonisbiog
&c.; and that, therefore,Congress had no
power to lake Its control out uf the hands
of the Executive.
Air, W. entered into an argument as to
tho doctri. es contained In these para
graphs. He admitted that it had been
deemed expedient to invest the President
with tho control over the public property;
whether this gave him n right over this
public properly, which Congress could
not tnko away, was another matter. He
then went into the question of the respon
sibility of ilio Executive, ns to the custo
dy of the public money; aod also, as to
rite piesidentisf power of appointment and
removal. Tho President, lie contended,
hod used a legitimate power, for the ille
gitimate pm pose of substituting his own
will for the provisions ol law. There was
indeed, a gracious admission in these
paragraphs, that Congress might prescribe
Hie place where the money of the public
should be kept, Nay, moro—thorowas a
yet mate gracious admission, (tint tho
President was under an obligation to see
that prescription carried into effect; nod
lie (Air. W.) had actually been about to
take, with all'duo gratitude, these graci
ous admissions, when, after an unfortu
nate dush, he perceived the announcement
that, nevertheless, the custody would still
remain in the Executive. Yes, they
might put the public treasure where they
pleased—always remembering the Presi
dent was to be the keeper.
Air. W. declared his friendliness of feel
ing towards the Executive, and his regret
that ho should hnve been compelled to
oppose him. on account of the doctrines
‘advanced in the protest. The pretence
that there were certain passages in that
document misunderstood, was an insult to
their undeisiandiug. The explanatory
message was not a mitigation of the dec
trines of the protest; but rather an oggrn
ration. He could uot understand from
whence gentlemen derived the light of
Executive control over the public proper
ly of the country, except it was in the Ian
guage of the first section of tho second
article of the Constitution. He did not
conceive that that section conferred any
power’ut all. The Constitution gave cer
tain powers to Congress, which it made
legislative; certain powers to the President,
which it made execative;aod certain pow
ers to the Judiciary, which it made judi
cial The Constitution of this country,
was a Constitution sui generis. It would
be noticed that it gave certain powers,
usually considered as Executive powers,
to Coogress; but never legislative powers
to the President.. Under the idea conteo
ded for by some gentlemen, the appoint
ing power, however, would moke the Pres?
idem the keeper of him who kept the pub
lic money.
It was cootendcd that the Presidcut
I,me had tho power to nominate. It was
trite, that by abusing the power to ap
point during the recess, he might do away
with the effect ofthe provision. Unt did
the responsibility of the office attach In
the power which appointed, and had the
power to remove, or to the office itself?
It was true that some officers were, by
virtue of their appointment, responsible
But, because the Secretary of the Treas
ury refused to do what the Presinent
wished him to do, had the President the
power to assume the office himieli 1 The
public money having been removed from
the iinnk of the United States, the place
designated hy law, he might put it into Iris
own pocket. Tho custody results from
the use. Coogress certainly had the u-
sing of the money, for Congress appropri
ated it. As it was now. what was to hia
der the President uf the United States
frum pocketieg the money ? If what was
said by ths protest wsrs true, the checks
and balances of this government were
gone. But he wonld take hia stand on a
foundation which could not be shaken—
the Coostitutioo.
lie contended that the power over the
public money waa not given to the Presi
dent by the Constitution. The power
most be in Congress. The eighth sec
lion ofthe first article gave the power to
Congress to raise taaes, to borrow money,
to coin, Sic.; and (lie fact ofCongreas hav
ing the power to raise the revenue, show
ed that it had also the power to dispose
of it.. If the custody ofthe public money
waB not expressly given io those clauses,
it wbs no where given.—There were times
when the money of the country waa not
in the treasury—when it was on its transit
to or from the place of deposito, and an
order Item the President and ths Secre
tary of ths Treasury might prevent ary
money from ever getting there. Money
had been expended'before it came into
the treaaury, and if a part might be with
held, the whole might; and if for one,
why not (or another ? The money ari
sing to the Pust Office never came into
the treaaury; and what was to hinder the
President Irom putting the money into
his pocket.

him, It waa an appeal from the Senate
to the people of the United States, to ob
tain • power which did oot belong to the
President. The reasob waa more titan
euffioiently important, Tho action went
to the annihilation of eoDatitational power
at oooo.
Mr, W. further ooolandetl, that the pro
test confirmed, in totidum verbis, tho doo-
trioeo which these resolutions negatived.
By atgabuse of power the Presided had
taken the moneys - f the U. Stales out oi
the Treasury, to all ibtenta sod purposes.
This had destroyed credit aod convulsed
every thing, producing great commercial
suffering. The President not only claim
ed but obtained tbo custody and control
ofthe public money,' aod custody and
oontroi carry with them the use.
Something definite must be done The
disease was too violeot nod radical, to be
cured by common nostrums. For his
own part, he was of opinion that Congress
ought not.ta rise till something be done.
Mr. W. concluded with a forcible uppeal
to Coogress to do someihiug to save the
country.
ML Peyton, of Indiana, replied at con
siderable length to Mr. Wise's remarks;
coatending that the object of introducing
these resolutions was merely p political
abject; aad that, at this late period ofthe
Session, when so many impoitant -bills
warn awaiting the action of tho House, it
was, to say the least of it, ioexpedieut to
introduce such resolutions No issue, ho
argued, could be. made upon the protest,
inasmuch as it had never been admitted
of record. It had boon kicked-out, to osa

Q7“ Io the chaste, nnd classical effu
sion of the Hon. Richard Wilde, pub
lished io the Republican of last evening,
two ei tlirco errors occurred that destroy
ed the fine effect, which that excellent
production of Mr. W's. Aluseis so well cal
eulated to produce.
Wo allude pariicularly to the error in
the linn which speaks of “TVmpe's desert
strand." Tempo is a highly pintnrosque,
and romantic vnlo in Thessaly, between
Mount Olympus at the nnrtli, and Ossa at
tho south, tltrbugh which tho river Poro
us flows into the A3 teno. It is “ adorned
with a profusion of beauties,so concentra
ted as to present under one view a scene
of incomparable effoct.” Collins, in his
inimitable Ode on the Passions, introdu
ces it with.muclt felicity. Such a loca
tion would illy suit the melancholy asso
cintion ofideas convoyed in the line allu
ded to. But, when we read, as we ought
to have printed it.'il'umpa’a desert strand,”
ihe whole force and beauty nf Ihe enmpa
risen strikes us at once—far Tampa, it will
he iccnllected, is indeed a low and "desert
strand," very unlike tho charming Vale op
Tcmpe. Tampa is a part of the bay of
Espiritu Santo, on the west coast of the
peninsula of Florida, nnd opens from the
gulf nf Aleaieo. at lat. 27 degs. 45 min.—
its shores are of a desolate appearance, and
as ths weather prevails, are either "sandy
or swampy.”
Wore publish the effusion of Mr. Wildo
corrected.
MY LIFE IS LIKE TUB SUMHER ROUE.
My lift, is like the summer rose,
That.opens to the morning iky,
But ere the shades of evening close,

tho self-styled ‘ Union Party.' But If we
are to judge of tlte Unluu Party by their
Milletlgcville Manifesto, tjjsre la little dif
ferenee with respect to union between tho
two State patties, in relation to ills Fed
eral Government. Tlte Union Party de-
cl,ire their determination In resist uanr
pution by tits Federal Government. The
Slate Rights’ Purty.certololy, do not go
farther. Tho only difference betwoan tho
parlies, with regard to llto Federal Oug-
eminent, is, that the Slate Rights' Party
denouocecertain principles nf tho Pro
clamnitoo and Force Bill, and tlte Union
Party say nothing on the auhjeol, hut do
clnre their allegiance to Gen. Juokson.
This-is the only rent difference between
the Stale parties, with respect to tho Fed
eral Government. Tito diffeience in this
respect is eertninly in luvor ofthe Stum
Right s'Parly. The fair inference from
tlielr denunciation of-terrain parts of the
Proclamation and the Force Hill is, that
they approve, generally, of the other acts
of Gan. Jackson's administration Where
ns; the ganoral approbation given by the
Union Party to the General's administra
lion without exception, necessarily irn-
rlies an approbation of those two acts.
Tlte Federalists in the zenith of power,
never went beyond those two measures.
If the Union Parly really approve of those
two measures, they are Fedetalists of tlte
most odious character, that ever hnve
avowed themselves in the United Slates,
at any period nftiieir history. When the
Republicans, who have associated them
selves to the old Clark party, now self
stvied ’Union Party,’ icflect upon this
matter seriously,and remember that, that
portion of tho State Rights' Party in this
State,who advocate tag doctrine of Nalli
filiation,are in the main high-minded and
honorable men who diffor from them to one
case,but who,in the main.nro with them,&
wishto remain with them, I am persuaded
they will return to their first love,—that
the) will nbandoe their recent associates
with whom it is impossible (hat they can
ever amalgamate. Light and darkness are
nnt more apposed to each other, than
thry and their present associates are. I
am persuaded that they will not permit n
possible evil-to separate thorn from their
former political friends. It is highly im
probable that any case for the application
ofthe doctfine of Nullification should oc
cur in our day Let us then dismiss the
subject nnd all apprehensions nf it, under
the firm conviction, that when it tloes
occur, the gnutTsense oi tho nge wiii con
trol it, so ns to make it entirely innoxious,
if nnt an instrument of good to the age iu
which it shall occur. The Republican
parly at present, i am persuaded, com
prises four-fifths of tlte intelligence ami
respectability of the country. Is it possi
ble that they will suffer a mere name to
disunite them,and tlirow the political pnw
er ofthe state into the hands of the one
fifth' of tho intelligence nnd respectability
ofthe state,who do not possess a sufficient
number of men of talents, to fill the ftw
offices in the state, which require talents
to fulfil them; ns id tho year 1825? lean
not believe it. Rut, even if the delusion
under which our friends are acting should
provo to be ton strong to be controlled hy
the considerations which.have been pre
seated to them, (trim that an equal num
her of the other political faith will separ
ate themselves from a body of men who
have shewn themselves to ito ultra fsder

This dcclarari ,h sin-ops Ihe character ol

Interesting to Sailors.—The ense of
the United States vs. tViUinm McLoutf,
was tried yesterday al the U. S Circuit
Court lief>re Judge Davis The trial is
full; reported in the Mornibg Post—from
which it appears that AldLoud was indict
ed for assuuitingand confining Win. Cole,
tlte master of the brig Oullew, nn the
morning of the 17th inst, when in the Gulf
Stream. The circumstances of the case
were briefly those. A scufil < occurred
between the male and James Braent, in
nsequecce of language used by Braent
while tacking ship.- The Captain inter
fered—ar.d Alcl.uud then seized llto Cap
tain and forcibly pushed him aside. Bru
eel was subsequently tied and confined
below. The evidence in this case, as
usual between the officers uf a ship ami
sailaas, was contradictory—which render
ed it difficult to get at the truth. Mr
Dunlap read several legal authorities to
show that ie the eye of the law tlte offence
charged in the iudictment was commit
ted
"Every restraint upon a man’s liberty,
is, in the" eye uftlte law,an imprisonment,
wherever may bo the place or whatever
nay he tlte manner in which the restraint
is effected."
Judge Davis, in charging the jury, cited
authorities similar In these quoted by Mr.
Dunlap, nnd stated, that, under the I2ih
section of the act oi 1790, tray forcih e in
tcrlioeoce, whether by threats, raliinidn
lion, or physical force, that prevented the
captain from the free exercise of his will

statute; hut if the captain was cvidcutly

auco as sirikiug a person with a danger

“I would call the attention ofthe cili
zens'of Savannah, to the necessity of Ink
ing some immediate measures ol opening
a communication from this city to Alaeon
I bt-lieve at this time, the most ceitain and
expeditious way to travel from Savannah
to Alaeon, would be to take the Stage
from this to Charleston, 110 miles—thence
by the lloil Road to Augusta, 145 miles
—and from thence by Stage to Alaeon
12B miles—travelling 375 miles.
"The mail between this city and Alacun
for the last three months, has been so
completely disorganised, that no person
having business thinks of writing by it,—
hut all prefer the round about mail bv
Augusta, which ie carried regularly in an
open wagon.
"Tho Augusta mail in an open wagon,
furnishes no facility tor men ot business
to pan from one city In tits other, and as
the stoain packets are drawing off and lay
ing up, we shall have no opportunity ol o-
tber communication than hy letter.
