(Signed) ANDREW JACKSOX. K
The message having heen read, H
Mr. PA I'TON of \ irginia said that the parti k
cular relation in which he stood, as his immcdiateS
representative and personal friend, townub the!
great public benefactor whose decease, ‘•lull olj*
years and full of honors," has just been announe-l
cd by Ute message of the President of the I uitedj
States, had induced the Virginia delegation to de-;-j
Volvo upon him the mournful duty of ;•loposiug to:\
the adoption of the House the resolution he
about to oiler, for the purpose of iletei mining up-g
on the course to be pursued for giving expressions
to the national sensibility to the great bereavementjl
We had suffered.
I do not, however, Mr. Speaker, feel it to be ti 9
suitable occasion in which to employ or indulge in J
arty studied phrase or pm'gyrick upon the publ.cj
or private virtues of the ' cnerable man whose lossi
we deplore.
It U true, sir, that early imbued with the sincer
est veneration for the character of Mr. Madison,
with the profoundest admiration ol his talents, and
the warmest giatitude tor bis eminent and varied
public services, there is no language that I cot.ld
employ which would exaggerate the deep emo
tion with which I have been impressed by the me
lancholy iiiivHigcucc of his death; nod 1 nm sure
that it would be equally impossible for me to speak
of him in any terms that would depict an individ
ual pre-emiucut in all the virtues of social and
private life, or one that combined the merits of a
patriot, statesman, and sage, that would not find
u ready and full response in the miuds and hearts
of all who hear me. But it is not a feeble effort
of this kind, such ns 1 could make, nor even by
the highest effort of human eloquence, the lofty
inspiration of poetry, “the storied urn or animated
bust," that can rear an appropriate monument to
the memory of Mr. Madison, or erect a suitable
monument to his fame.
His appropriate and enduring eulogium is to be
found inscribed in those pages of his country’s his
tory, which arc identified w ith her honor and gio
ry. It is engraved upon every pillar of that splen
did fabric of constitutional liberty under which w<
live. It is identified w ith the existence of thatglo
rious Union of confederated States which he con
tributed so essentially to form, and the mainten
ance and preservation of which, with all its nume
rous blessings, were the constant objects of his care
during his long, laborious, and useful public life.B
and of his most earnest and anxious solicitude in
the shades of retirement.
And Mr. Speaker, another ami not less decisive
and more affecting evidence of his merit and title to
public gratitude, will be found in the deep grief
with which his loss will be deplored by every man
in the nation as a great national calamity, I offer
the resolution which I now send to the Chair.
Resolved. That a committee be appointed on the
Cart of this House, to join such committee as may
e appointed on the part of the Senate, to consider
and report by what token of respect and affection
it maybe proper for the Congress of the United
States to express the deep sensibility of the nation
to the event of the decease of Mr. Madison, just
announced by the President of the United States
to this House.
The resolution having been read—
Mr. ADAMS rose, and addressed the Speaker
By the general sense of the House, (said he.) it i-H
with perfect propriety that the delegation from th> g
Commonwealth of Virginia have taken the lem'fl
in the melancholy duty of proposing the measure
suitable to be adopted as testimonials of the vene
ration due from the Legislature of the Union t<
the memory of the departed patriot and sage, ihi
native of their soil, and the citizen of their com
munity.
It is not without some hesitation, ami some dis
fideace, that 1 have risen to offer in my ow n be
half, and iu that of my colleagues upon this flooi,
and of our common constituents, to join our voice
at one* of mourning ami of exultation, at the e
vent announced to both Houses of Congress by the
message from the President of the United States—
of mourning at the bereavement which has fallen
our common country by the decease of one of her
most illustrious sons—of exultation at the specta
cle afforded to the observation of the civilized
world, and for the emulation of aftertimes, by the
close of a life of usefulness and of glory, after for
ty years of service in trusts of the highest dignity
and splendor that a confiding country could be
stow, succeeded by twenty years of retirement and
private life, not inferior, in the estimation of the
virtuous and the wise, to the houors of the highest
station that ambition can ever attain.
Os the public life of James Madison what could
I say that is not deeply impressed upon the memo
ry, and upon the heart of every one within the
sound of my voice? Os bis private life, what but
must meet an echoing shout of applause from eve
ry voice within this Hall? Is it not in a pre-emi
nent degree by emanations from bis mind that we
are assembled here as the representatives of thej
people and the States of this Union? Is it alls
not transcendently by his exertions that wed
address each other here by the endearing ap-H
pellatiou of countrymen and fellow-citizens ? OfS
that baud of benefactors of the human race,.theg
founders of the Constitution of the United States,!
James Madison is the last who has gone to his re-6
ward. Their glorious work has survived them all.
They have transmitted the precious bond of union
to us, now entirely a succeeding generation to
them. May it never cease to be a voice of adtno
tion to us of our duty to transmit the inheritance
unimpaired to ourchildrcn of the rising age.
Os the personal relations of this great man,
which gave rise to the long career of public ser
vice, in which twenty years of my own life has 1
been engaged, it becomes me not to speak.—
The fulness of the heart must be silent, even to!
the suppression of the overflowings of gratitude
and affection.
The resolution was agreed to, and the com
mittee ordered to consist of one member from
each State.
A message was received from the Senate,
announcing the adoption of the following reso
lution by that body :
In Senate. of the United Staten,

The Major General, commanding in chief,
has received, through tlie War Department, the
commands of the President, to announce to the
army the death of the illustrious statesman and
patriot, Er-President Madison, who died at

By command of Major General Macomb.
R. JONES, Adj. General.
Mr. Madison was born in Virginia, on the
17th of March, 1750, was a Member of the Le
gislature in 1775, one of the Council of Vir
ginia in 1776, Member of the Congress of the
Revolution and of the Convention which form
ed the Constitution of the United States, elec
ted a Member of the first Congress, in which
body he remained rainy years ; was appointed
Secretary of State tin ler Mr. Jefferson on the
sth of Mirch 1&)I; inaugurated as President
Id the United Stites, on the 4th of Mtrch
1809, and again on the 4th of March, 1813.
INDIAN WAR.
It is now generally understood that the war
is closed, so far as relates to the great body of
the Creek Nation. With the exception of the
party which crossed into Georgia not long since,
and murdered several families in Baker county,
it is believed there will be no further occasion
to fire another gun ; and that band of outlaws
have been so beaten and routed by the forces
under Col. Beall, that they will hardly rally
again.
Having encamped themselves in a swamp,
which they deemed impenetrable to the white
man, they were reclining in conscious security,
when Col. B. with an intrepid band, overcom
ing every obstacle which nature had placed in
his way, broke suddenly’ upon them, killed nine
who were found, and made himself master of
their camp, tents, clothes, blankets, provisions,
ammunition, goods of various descriptions which
they had taken at Roanoke, besides money,
camp equipage, five horses, &c. of which all
was destroyed except such articles as could be
taken out of the swamp ; and on the day folio w-
Eintr, thirty horses more were taken from them.
JAV e hope soon to learn that the whole party are
tin the hands of our forces; and from tlience
jlorth may we be relieved from the war cry of
Ethe savage through all time to come.
CHEROKEE TREATY.
The Bill to appropriate four millions five
hundred thousand dollars, for carrying into ef
fect, the Treaty lately concluded with the Che
rokees, has passed both Houses of Congress,
after encountering the most vindictive opposi
tion of some of the leading IlVtigs.
SUPPRESSION OF INDIAN HOS
TILITIES.
A Bill appropriating two millions four hun
dred thousand dollars for the suppression of In
di in hostilities, has passed the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United States,
which, with those of the same character hereto
fore passed, will afford ample means for the
contemplated object.
MR. WISE, r.s. GEORGIA.
This rantipole orator, who has been so much
extolled by the niillifiers for his talents and pa
triotism, and particularly for his State right
principles, now stands distinctly identified with
the enemies of Georgia upon a question of vital
importance to her people. lie has taken sides
gwith the Cherokees—denounced Georgia for
the exercise of a sovereign right, and exerted
himself to the utmost, to prevent the fulfilment
of the Treaty, in opposing the appropriation by
which alone it could be carried into effect.
with John Quincy Adams and
other malignant spirits in the House, Mr. Wise
has distinguished himself for his bitter hatred
and most unqualified opposition to the rights of
Georgia.
Will the niillifiers still praise him ?
Ik ho are the friends of Georgia 1
Van Buren and his friends.
Who voted for the ratification of the Chero
kee Treaty ?
Van Buren's friends.
Who voted against it ?
They were all White, Webster, Harri
son—Whigs.
Who opposed the appropriation for carrying
the treaty into effect ?
John Q. Adams, Everett, Wise, &.c. &c. &,c.
all whigs.
Well! well! How this whig party is mixed
up of all sorts of people ? Adams and Everett
are abolitionists, and Wise is a nullifier, and
yet how wonderfully they amalgamate upon
• very question involving the interests of Gcor-
>gi«, While Van Buren and his friends go in fori
“us "like a book".
i It won’t do. The sober sense of the peoples
?can distinguish their friends from their

IT 11E SURI’LUB REVENIIE—I>EPOSITS.I
“! Tiie question which has produced so much ;
among the bankites, the federalists,
Inullifiets,since Gen. Jackson removed the pub-/
[lie revenue; which has furnished the material forJ
(the panic-speeches and alarm-guns, which were:
fever and anon bursting from the Halls of Con-<
Igress, during the session of 184—5, is now set-:
Itled. ' [’
| By the late act, the surplus revenue which;
[has or may hereafter accrue, over and abovea
Jfive millions of dollars, is to be deposited from*
land after the first dav of January next, in they
[Treasuries of the several States, in proportion
[to their representation in Congress, to be trans
ferred quarterly, and to remain in the custody
ol the States without interest, until called for bv
the General Government.
According to the best data in our possession,
Georgia will receive in the course of the next
year, one million of dollars, and as it is not at
all probable that the money will be called for,
in the course ol many years to come—a verv
important question presents itself at once to
the consideration of our fellow-citizens.—How
is this large sum to be disposed of? Is it to lie
dormant and unproductive, or should it be so
managed as to produce a revenue to the State ?
There can be but one answer to tliisquestion. If
it must come into the possession of the State—if
the responsibility ofkeoping it, and the liability
to refund it are to rest upon her shoulders, let
her so use it, as to realise from it, an equivalent
for those high obligations ; and at the same
time, in a manner best calculated to diffuse
its benefits among the greatest numbers of her
people. How then, can that object beattaaned?
We answer—by placing it in the Central Bank,
to be loaned out according to the regulations of
that institution, at the low rate of six per cent.
It will enable the Bank to accommodate all
who may apply with good and substantial notes
—relieve the necessities of those who arc com
pelled to borrow money at ten, twelve, fifteen,
or twenty per cent, and thereby produce a hap
py result in reducing the exhorbitant rate of in
terest at which many good men are now com
pelled to borrow ; while at the same time, ii
will produce sixty thousand dollars per annum
of clear interest, to be applied to such objects a t
future Legislatures may direct,
If this policy should be adopted at the next
session, it will enable the Bank, with its pres
ent means, to loan out iu the year 1837, one mil
lion three hundred thousand dollars ; and in
stead of one distribution of three hundred thou
sand dollars, she may distribute three hundred
and twenty five thousand every three months
during the year.
FOR THE STANDARD OF UNION.
Jflr. Editor— The following is an extract
from the speech of Paulus Emilius to the Ro
man people, as he was about to take tiie com
mand of their army.
How true are the remarks of that great Gene
ral. Let the people of Georgia read them, and
then reflect on the injustice which some have
been disposed to heap on the shoulders of Gen.
Scott, (the hero of “Lundies Lane,”) during
the late I lorida and Crock campaigns.
[Here follows the speech.]
“ i ou seem to me, Romans, to have express-!
ed more joy when Macedonia fell to my lot,!
than when I was elected Consul, or entered up-J
on that office—and to me your joy seemed to her
occasioned by the hopes you conceived, that E:
should put an end, worthy of the grandeur and?
reputation of the Roman people, to a war,®
which in your opinion, has already been of too!
long continuance, I may venture to assure you,’,
that 1 shall do my utmost not to fall short ofyourl
expectations.
I shall take care to transmit to you, as well
as to the Senate, an exact account of all that
passes, and you may rely upon the certainty
and truth of my letters. But 1 beg of you, as a
great favor, that you will not give credit to, or
lay any weight, out of credulity, upon the light
reports, which are frequently spread abroad
without any author.
I perceive well, that in this war, more than
any other, whatever resolution people may form
to obviate these rumoirs, they will not fail to
make impression, andinspire, I know'not what
discouragement. Tlere are those, who in
company, and even at table, command armies,
make dispositions, and prescribe all the opera
tions of the campaign. They know better than
we, where we should encamp, and what parts it
is necessary for us to seize, at what time, and by
what defile we ought to enter Macedonia; where
it is proper to have magazines; from whence,
either by sea or land, we are to bring provis
ions, when wo ought to fight the enemy, ant
when lie still.
They not only prescribe what is best to do,!
but for deviatingever so little from their plans;
they make it a crime in their General. Bud
know, Romans, this is of very bad effect wit'ii
your Generals.”
And may we not also add, Know, Americans,'
that such is of very bad effect with your Gene-!

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON. §
The Washington City Washingtonian, of theS,
30th ult., states that Gcu. Scott bad been ordered®
to give up the command in the South. The Wash-ra
mgton correspondent of the Southern Patriot, inji
his letter of the 29tb ult., confirms this statement.®
and adds that the President has ordered an inquiry
into Gen. Scott’s conduct, in relation to both the
Seminole and Creek campaigns. (?eu. Jesup,
already on the spot, succeeds him of course. We
have little doubt that Gen. Scott will sustain any
irdca), to which be may be subjected, without
prejudice to bis military’ skill or well-earned lau
ds.
W e have seen nothing, that renders tiie re
call of Gen. Scott from his Southern com
mand other than the rumor of Washington let
ter writers, who tell more lies than they will ev
er atone for. It may, however, be true, as the
General may’ wish an investigation into his
conduct to silence his enemies at once and for
ever. It is altogether the fashion with some
people to abuse him—asking now at the close
of the (. reek war it Gen. Scott has done any
thing; as if the commanding General was ex
pected to be the leading man in the swamp, and
lis hand the first that throttled Neah-Maribla
and Jim Henry. If any’ thing spirited or praise
worthy is done by any’ portion of his command,
it is aked, why did not Gen. Scott do it, as iffi
he was expected to plan, and execute too, allg
