THE Xo\ A SCO i i v \\ HlGSrs. NICHO
LAS BIDDLE.
It is really matter ol some surprise to per
ceive that there is io much spirit eviutl among i
the creatures o( \\ el . , who is himself the
creatine oi the Bank, as is diseoveruulc in the
article we annex from the Boston Co .rier. W e
entfeat the republican, of the country to read
it, for, although the editor stili vents his accus
t'.mied spleen n ; itnst the administration as the
author of all g: ;.'va;ices, yet it s< ctus that Bid
dle has stretch?.! his willing vassals and patient
victims so tightly on his wheel, and has fleeced
and bayed and scalloped them so unmercifully
with his tistni i’s knife, tli.it they are compelled
to 11 v out and confess the truth.
’1'11? devout admi.ei s of Biddle and the Bank
now admit that he is wielding a loreign moneyed
power to oppress and impoverish all whom he
can graei. His immense machinery he plies in
makin j dt. t ii.ite i 'la/isio.is and < outraetions—
in m iking money plenty and exchanges cheap,
when a buyer—aid.! i; it scare.-, amt the price
of bdis what he pleases, wlimi he would draw in
hts line and make spoil of liis llottndermp and
gasping fishes.
Wh.it a .picture the Boston Courier, after
y i-ttrs oi s !.,ce span . I like submission,
gives of AL'. Biddle! lliere ho is in Boston
in the midst of his ever l.iiihlnl and unllincliing
trieii.ls—placing (lie ttsuier after the fnshiim of
Sliyiock. He told them, wiie.i introducing his
I'grucimis ageatcy among them,
*' 1 wuul.l lie tricmls wiiii you, and h ive vour
love,
Supply your present wants, and take no iluit
Oi usance fur my moneys"
But now Air. Biddle will doubtless, as tlie
“ go.;;! youth” of the Courier sm nis to antici
pate, i .u;: a deal ear to lii s rev ding :
*’ fill t;i ;u cans! rai. the s ‘ d from of? my bond,
'1 ulii i t'.end'.,! thy II to spe .k s * loud.”
" Rep dr thy wit, guild youth, in it will fall
To em closs ruin.”
1. Biddle tri'als his friends thus, bow would
ne treat the democrat.;, whom he liati!

ABOLITION U HIGGERY
The pleasure with which tiie Telegraph hail
ed the re-election of Slade to Coiigres.: lust fall
: is fully accounted for in ti.e paragraph v.e an
nex tiom lhe Herald of Freedom a Northern
I Abolition print :
j “Let us [say the abolitionists] but elect mcm
i hers of (km:;ie.-s devoted to tin; abolition of sla
verv, and tiie “siiblim : merits of slavery” must
'be discussed in Congress. Their speeches will
I I n published and read ■■throughout the. Union,
I and thesubject'will be brought before the minds
! of th? people in a tangible form as a great po
; iiticid and moral question, and will be more es-
■ fecund, perhaps, in enlightening their minds
than the same truths presented in any oilier
way. ’l'lius by exerting political itijMince,
tee shall extend our moral influence.”
The eagerness with which the whole body of
whig-erv, North uni] South looked to the
election of Rimer as Governor of Pennsylva
nia, an avowed abolitionist—the zeal with which
Harrison was supported by lhe same party, per
ftctlv i.l-.'ii i;ied as he was with the Rimer par
ty of Pennsylvania, to which he was indebted
fur i.i.. nomination to the Presidency—the devo
tion wiih which tiie abolitionist, Granger, (his
lieu e:i m!,j was supported lor the \ ice I’resi

ground of the two ends of whiggery—-lhe uni
versal courtcsv am! kindness extomle ‘ to the

j would be thought Hotspurs of the South, while
.their fury and phrensy is directed against tiie
! democrats, the friends of Air. Van Buren, who
arc ftglisinj the battles uf'.ho South against the
fanatics of the North, are all signs to prove lite
identitv ot’ political design between the nuliili

WHIGGERY.
'riie Telegraph of Saturday publishes a
clas.ificalioii of the members of Congress,
under the antes of Van Jlitrenitcs and liVtigs.
The object is to exhibit the number of wbigs
voting tor and against the reception of aboli
tion petitions, us aLo oi the \an Buren-
Tao editor says, “ The question of RE
CEP i ION is allowed to be decisive of the
feeling an I principles of members as to the
potter oi Congress over the subject of shivery
hi the District, mid so far as mat goes over
slavery throughout the Union.
And then the editor adds ; ” For ourselves
\ ve eanriot see any dtjjiri ncc hcticccu slavery in
lhe district and in the .'fat:-,”
i We have always said that the object of theTel
egrajih was to encourage the abolitionists: and
i tiie public will jmreeive, from tlx* table he has
iirvseiiled, that tiie editor is ■ uilty ol the grossest
misrepn enlation to .effect that object.
After stating that “ the question of recep
tion is allowed to be decisive of the feelings
i and principles of members” on the abolition
. pelitio.'.s, lu makes it appear that FOKTY
tSI.A onto! EIGH t \-Xi.AE of those whom he
sms down a of his own p.irtv, ate on lhe side of
the abolition peiitioneis, as well as a majority of
those whom he denominates \ an Buromtes.
Aow, this whig eJitor may answer lot his
whi r-, and we verily believe that many of the
forty-six, as well us many of those southern
wings voting against them on this occasion, but
witti them on all other party votes, arc encour
aging the ab ditionists for factious purpost s, but
w..en this editor undertakes to speak for lite
Van Barenitcs, and to say thal their voles tor
the reception of petitions” is allowed to be de
cisive iof tl if feedings,” be slates what eve
ry man in Congress knows to be untrue. ’I hi re
is icjt an individual friend of Air. \ an Bt'.ren
v ting to receive the petition, who (so far from
allowing, does not positively deny that die ques
tion < ) rcc'.tioa has any thing to do witii the
' merits us the petitions presented. They htdd tiiat
iii ’ ri.ct of petition is a sacred constitutional
right, given in express terms io the ci.iz.i.i, and
•.'. l.'.f; tl. y cat Lot deny; hut their votes to
bury t!:epetitions as soon as received, witl.-
o'i! r. :’dii;.'.: or printh. , and their universal con-,
d ■nmati'.m oi’ them in speeches and by voting
i.ud i!ic notoriiKts i.ic.t that they come from the
A n-.-mit sos the \an Bui cn democracy oi the

that tri.::ii;)b.?.!it parly there, by a: peals to iit

be’.it lit of whiggery Not th and South, renders
it prrlectly certain tint the body of democratic
■ members in lhe . oust; are us hostile to the ab
olitionists as they are to lhe nuliillers, and lor
the same reason.
The editor of the Telegraph, among other
missiatenients of his table, sets down the liox.

ABOLITION.
It is amusing to see the difficulty in which the
i southern whigs arc involved upon the abolition
i quesiiott.
j For twelve months before the l ite Presidential
i eleciion, their presses were teeming with abuse
and vituperation aja list .Mr. Van Baren ami bis
iriends. He was pionounced an abolitionist, lie
was held up as the deeid.'d friend of the fanatics,
audit was roundly asserted, that if lie succeeded to
the Presidency, he would lend ins official influence
to carry out their infernal schemes; mid these
charges were rim; and reiterated, with so tnueh
' ! ob'.m ss, that many an honest democrat was either
: wholly misled, or placed in a state of neutrality
: between the cimlending candi lat< s.
■ lut the * noise of tiie ba tt!e is over ;" the smoke
, is drive i before the wind, and lhe light of truth is
no longer olisemed. .Hr. Van Buren is elected,
am! his principles are no more tho subject of con
jecture. lie is now to he known t > tile people by
, lus acts, and tiie truth or lalsehood of those w o
have s'indered ami villified iiis cii araeter, is to
judged by the measures of his administration.
Il is a source of high gratification, to m irk the
course of liis friends, in and out us Congress. We
find th un every where oiipiis. il to abnlitii’ii. In
■ Ncw-tlampshirc. the Lieu Is of .Mr. Van Buren
are tiie v. arm .mil decidca advocates of southern
rights upon this qucsti 'it, and so it is in all the
eistem .'-tates. The Govei nor of New York, a
decided Van Btireni c, is bitterly opcosed to abo
lition, while the whig Govern >r of’Petmsylvania
;is outstripping Ar’i:ur Tappmi, in his crusade
against the eon.itittii'ion, and the pence and tran
quility of the south r,i States. He is n .'/Z
John Quincy Adams is a I'r'hig, and is h;df
crazy in behalf of tlin fan itie d cause. Everett,
Granger, Slade, and all the boisterous abolitionists
in Congress, are li liigs, ami are part ami parcel of
tiie party opposed to ?.:r. Van Buren.
One fact is wmth a tmiusmid assertions, and as
the tree is known ti -, its fruit, we shall all be able,
in a very short time, to lest tiie sincerity of .Mr.

MIL ADAMS.
'l he lloti.-e tiiea resunted the subject ot
the r; soltii'ious lor the censure ol' i'r Hou.
' Joint Quincy Adams, for itavittg brought
1 to the notice of the House a petition from
slaves, by stating thal tie held in liis hand
: a paper ptirporutig to be a petition Irom
slaves, amt ttiereiiy giving color to the idea
j that .-laves have the rigtit of petition, anti
; that lie (Air. A.) is v. ill hr to become tlieii
organ. The question bt in., on the m.i. tid
metit ohered by Air. PaT’IOX, as fol
io tv ? :
Luld.r :o!.ved, That the right of petition
does not belong to slaves, ami that nu peti
tion from them can be presented to this
House, v> itbotii <: ■)■<> ..ati.'iß from the right'
j of tiie slavehi/l'.iiiig States, and endangering
; the integrity ol the Union.
iv.E.Htil.V !•.!>, Thai any ti.ember who shall
I hereafter present any such petition to lhe
■ House ought to be considered as regaruk ss
j of lhe let dings of tins House.

) An.',?ts having - soletimly disclaimed all de
i sign of i.oim’ unv thing t'isie; pectlul to the
! i louse in the inquiry he made oi the Spca
! Ker as to the petition purporting to be irom
j slaves, and having avowed his mtciit.'on
' not to mil r to pret>i nt the petition ii lib
' Itotise was of opinion that it ought not to
be presented ; ttierelore ail luillter pro
ceedings in regard to his conduct now
Air. French of Ky. being entitled to the
floor, rose ami spoke at some length, on tin
subject generally.
Mr. M11.1.1G.i.V, of Del. after some re
marks on the subject, adv cited to the sb it
ticssol the time allowetl for the completion
ol the business of tiie session, «n>d tnuvee
that the subject be laid on the table.
Mr. Ai>.'.’.is rose ami earnestly resisted
the motion to lav the subject on the laid, .
Nothing, lie said, would aggrieve him moi'
than to tli m.iss the sttbjeci, without allord
ittg him an opportunity to address tin
House in tl< lem e, after having been ar-i
raigned at its bar, on aecount of bis conduct ;
here.
Mr. Mili.iga:;, vvitlidrew the motion to
lie on the table. i
Air. Adams then said hr did not wish to '
arrest the deliberations of the House. But
before the question was taken, be desired 1
the privilege to address the House in a dou- 1
ble c:q>ae;ty, as a member of the House, !
and as the individual arraionetl. He also!
gave notice that if the R--soliition of cen- j
sure (lid not pass, he should linn rail the I
attention ol the House to the original tpies-1
lion, concerning which the present proceed- ■
iljgs had arisen. t
Several members addressed the Chair
at once, but the floor was obtained by
Air. Evans, of Maine, who spoke at
length in opposition to the proposition to
censure the honorable member from Massa
chusetts. He said that nothing would be
more vague and indefinite than the charge
made in the r< ♦olntion. It charged tiie
member not with any specific offimce, but
with “ giving color to an idea.” S ar.e
gentlemen, however, supported ti.e resolu
tion, because Mr. Adams had presented a
petition from free colored women, and oth
ers because he had presented tminv aboli
tion petitions ; but neither of those charges i
were put in the resolution. But the gcntle
. man from Ga. (Mr. llolvey) made the of
: feiice to consist in criminal intent, to be in
ferred from his conduct ; others said that
his offence was in having committed an out
rage on the feelings of the House. Al!
these charges lie considered and attempted
to show their insufficiency. He admitted
! the right of the House to punish for disor
! derly conduct any of its members, hut no
disorder was imputed to the member now
arraigned. He had viol ited no parliamen
tary law. He s iid that this matter was des
tined to make a great excitement in the
country; ami he warned gentlemen that
I every attempt to suppress the liberty of
speech, ol the press am! of petition, the
• greater was the number of champions who
■ would lie raised up in their defence. He
j also maintained, that the assertion ofoppo- ;
; sition to slavery and the interut'd slave fade)
: at the North, was not an insult to the South.
The doctrine of Virginia, as me.i .tained by
all the leading statesmen of Virginia, from
tiie revolution tit! the present time, was that
slavery was a moral and a political evil.
■ Tiie northern petitioners had borrowed their
: language ami their doctrines in relerence to
j slavery from the Virginia orators ami states-
■ men.
The Gil her? remarked that the gen
tleman was taking 100 wide a range of re
■ iiaik. His attempt, hitherto, to restrict
the debate had not been seconded by the
; House. If the House pleased, the debate
, would go on in its pri sent cmirse.
Mr. Patton protested against atty res
triction.
Mr. Evans Stated that he had introduced
,no new topics. The gist rd’ the charge a
i gainst Mr. Adams was that lie had introdu-
I ced abolition petitions holding harsh lan
' gmvge towards the South, and it was fair
for him to show that this was the language
, of Southern statesmen themselves.
i The Speaker said lie would t ike the
i sense of the House on the question. He
, stated it, and had attmmm ed the vote in
the affirmative, when Mr. Cambrele.ng
: asked lor the y eas and nays, remarking that
upon th..' division o! this question it depen
ded whether tiie session should be given up
to this subject.
i With the ns ent of the House.
Mr. Evans went OU, but was arrested bv
the Chair, on the ground that he was speak
ing ou tile abstract question ofsl.ivery, which
was not pertinent to lite question before the
House.
After various proceedings on the question
of order,
The resolution was modified to read as
follows :
Resolved, That any member who may
hereafter present tiny petition from slaves to
this House, shall be. regarded as regardless
of the feelings <sf the House, of the rie'- ts
of the So -th, nnfriendly to the Union,
And the second resolution was left the
same as above.
lit th.is form the Resolution will pass,
: the previous question having been yriler

WIIIG CLASS!FICATIOX.
We think it is high time that a classification i
: of lhe ti ii'ty acting together under the general I
dmioinlnatioas of WIHGS should take place. I
Th? term at present, is so indefinite, and em
braces sm'li a variety of polilieal complexions,
and such a,helerogenioits asioci ition of politi- :
cal principles, that nothing short of a brief gios- ;
sory, can enable the people to give each, their .
proper definition. i
Something like the following, might answer;
the purpose.

Dear Sir : —ln your note of the 2d instaut. you
request me to state, what progress the Committee
on Claims have made, in appropriating money to
indemnify such citi/.cns ot Georgia^Al.ibama and
Florida, as suli’ei’ed the loss of property by the
late incmsiutis of the Creek and Seminole Indians,
which v, .is rcfeiTcd to s aid Committee, as part oi
the President’s Message, at an early day of the
session, and also, what considerations have pre
vented an c.uli.:r r. port.
in compliance with your request. I state, that
the Committee addressed a leticr io th-: Secrcta
ry of Wat ad intniim, on the I.7th of December,
(which was writtett three days alter the Commit
tee were authorised to invesligate lhe question o'
indemnity) for information, and for the particu
lar views of the Prcsidi nt in relati 'ii to that part
of his message, that had been referred to said
Committee. 1 shall send iicrewilh, a cupyoftlie
•letter mentioned.
The information satlght Io be obtain::;!, was
cousideieu,inaispensabie by tile committee, and
nothing lias occurred since, to chang-e that opin
ion.
The principles that liavo governed Congress
herctofene. in legislating on the like subjects, are
adverted to, in tke letter to the Secretary, and it
they are not applicable to the los-es in Georgia,
Alabama, and Florida, the commute wished t<
know why they were not. No answer has been
received to that communication, and of course no
lai liter progress has been made in tile investiga
tion of tiie subject.
1 saw iMr. Butler during ths present week,
when he stated, that he regretted he bad not been
able to answer ail the calls of the committee, on
account of the press of business, during the scs
i sion of Congress, lie said he. was obtaining ah
■ the miormation he could on the subject of these
losses ; and that he would give an answer at as
early a day as was possible.

| Sir:—l am directed fry the t ommittce on Claims
tu transmit to you, die copy ot a resolution passed
by tire House of Representatives, on tiie l-itlr inst.
re,'erring to the Committee on Claims, "so much
ol the iTesident’s iWessage, as relates to taking the
property ol individuals tor pubiic use, and the re
lief of sufl'eicis by imliau depredations, or by the
i.'peralioirs of our own troops in L lorida, Alabama
and Georgia.’’
That part of the President’s Message referred
to in the resolution, is contained in the following
extract.
"Guths unexpected breakingout < f hostilities
; in Florida, Aiab.ima, and Georgia, it became ue-
I cessary in some c -iscs, to take the property of in
utvi ai iis tor public use ; provi; ion should he made
by law, foi ludeiuniiying thcovvuers ; and I would
respecliully suggest whetlnr some provision may
not be made, c..usisiently with th<3 principles of
nr government, tor tiie relief of lhe sufferers by
Indian depredations, or by tire operations of our
own troops.”
lamdrrected by the committee, to a.k what
kind oi jrroperty of indi. idnals was taken for pub
lic use; and they will thauk you to give such in
fm'iiialiou as you possess, relative to the necessity
of taking it, mid whether lac same was taken bv
th? ord. rof oiii-ars, who were ut the time, or
. were aft.: ward., in the military scrviia; ofthe i.'ni
, ted rftates ; mid whether the property so taken,
; was appraised at the time it was taken, and whetlt
receipts, or certificates, lor the property were
: given to the owner by the person taking it.
; If any branch of the military service in the op-
■ eration > referred to, was supplied by contract, it
is impo. mut in tiie investigation of the matters
submittal, to know, whether a contractor has ob
tained cretlii for tiny property so taken, as having
. been furnished by hiiiise!:. or whether lie has vou
i chers which will enable him to obtain such credit,
j The Pr.<.'sid ;iit “suggests whether some picvj-
■ sion may not he made consEtenlly with the prin
ciple-of oar government, for the relief ofthe suf
ferers by Indian depredations, or by the operation
; of our troops.”
: The committee wi hto know what kind of de-
■ predations are referred to, mid you will be pleased
to discriminate, those committed by Indians, from
those committed by our own troops.
Congress passed mi act mi theOlh of April, 1816
entitled "an Act, to mil mrise the payment of pro
perly lost, capture ! or destroyed by the enemv
: while in the militm-y service of the United States,
and for other purposes” to which, and the acts,
amendutmy thereto, thecommitte call your atten
tion.
Th' accounting omcers dm ing the existence of
that act. and during ths e.i.amee ofthe amenda
tory acts, were controlled by the provisions of said
acts, in deciding the numerous cases pre-anted for
depredations committed daring the late war with
Great Britain, wheth- r such depredations were
committed by th ■ Briti.di. oi by tin; liiilimis.
Many depredations were committed by tho In
dians, after the surrender of the north western
posts, i:i ,'aiehigan, mid on tiie western fimitier,
and al u> in the smitlnv; st after the fall of Fort .'dim
. which have not been allowed, bee;.use tiie,■ did not
; come within the acts mentioned.
They were rases of great hardship • but in lo-
■ gislatiiig on this subject, whether generally, or
■■ specially. Congress has thought proper to rest: let
■seliefto those cases where lhe property was taken
I for the public service, or was necessarily destroyed
in the public sc. t ice, or h iving been in the public
; service, was destroyed in consequ nee thereof.
I The interior frontiers from the formation of the
j goverirami’s have been sources of Indian wars and
depredations.

GLORIOUS NEWS.
IMPORTANT FRO.’.l FLORIDA.
Ry the stcaiuer Ocinukfi e, C:i[>t. Blan':;-
eiisli'qt arrive.i yesterday, (t'miithiy) ilirm t
I'foin Black Creek, we Sl ave received the
following' interestin'?; particulars :
On the 2 I inst. Gen J sup encountered
Jumper ami Alligator, who cominanded a
lioilt ol Indiansainoutiling to about 100.
The General routed them and took 50
prisoners. Ontlie 4tl» Jumper and Alliga
tor gave themselves up with the remnant
of their b ind. These warriors stated to
the G tmiml, that tiiey would endeavor to
bring Powell to terms, who was u:t an 1
jaml in the Withlacoochee, destitute of pro
visions, and ammmtilioD, with a few devoted
followers.
.Jumper and Alligator also stated that the
greater ; art of thf Indians were humbled
and thoroughly convinced that it was
fruitless to contest atty longer with the whites.
Delimit'd in all their endeavors to obtain a
supply of amunition from Cuba, and other
places, they .are, no doubt, crest fallen. The
chiefs above named told Gen. Jesup, that
they would, w itit his permission, bring in
Powell, by fair means, if possible ; if not
they would use stratagem or force. They
ti n’di red their fvmilii s as hostages, and their
c.ih r was accepted!
Gen. Jesup has thus covered himself
with glory, for 'here can be no doubt that
he will eventually have the haughty and
malignant, but truly brave Oseola, within
his power. We ate glad that Jesup has
succeeded. One of our Generals, at least,
will not lie brought to a Court Marshall,
lor not doing his duty. What Clinch,
Gaines and Scott, under fair auspices, could
have accomplished, Geti. Jesup has been
enabled to perform. The stain which has
blotted the national escutcheon, that of per*
mitting a band of savages to burn ottr hab
itations, and destroy our citizens with impu
nity , is at last wiped ofk
Oar correspondents need be under no
apprehension, respecting the truth of our
statements. We can vouch for their gene
ral correctness.—The Ocmulgce brings of
ficial dispatches from Gen Jesup, of the
same tenor; and all may he assured that
ihe war has terminated. We omitted to
state before, that Jumper and Alligator se
lected the 18th of the current month as the
day on which they were to meet Gen. Jesup,
with Oseola, dead or alive.
Gi :i. Jesup, we are informed,'in the ac
tion of the 2d inst. took 50 weg'ro pris
oners, 250 poneys, and 1000 head of cat
tle.
BETTER STILL.
OSEOLA SURRENDERS.—Since
writing the above, we learn, that a letter
was received by George Yomtg, Esq. of this
city, from the army, containing the grati
fying intelligence that Oseola has come into
Jesup’s camp with 300 warriors. The great
Chief formed his men into line—leaned him
self against a tree—and when the U. S.
officer, who was deputed to receive hitn,
came tip, he approached him and gave up
his rille, with all the grace of a fallen he
