Congressional proceedings.
House, June 17.
. Patterson of Tennessee now offered a pream-
' / rrea t length, in relation to proscription, and clo-
two resolutions calling upon the President
j- 0 f Departments to furnish a list of proscribed
- - and the reast»ns for such proscription. Mr.
°® cer * s0 n moved to suspend the rules for the the pur-
' a () f receiving the resolutions. The yeas and nays
P° 5C y r( Jered, and were—yeas 27, nays 130. So the
Solutions lie over under the rules.
" 'The preamble and resolutions are as follows.
Whereas the present Secretary of Stale, at the
nital of Virginia, and beneath an October sun,”
.Cfe year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
C farty, did use ‘* ,,s l an ? ua £ e: “Yet even from this
a ”eat and good man (James Madison,) whom I hold
Ce ciiief among the just interpreters of the Consti-
10 . [ am constrained, however, presumptuous it
! f be considered, to differ in relation to one of his
^terpretations of tliat instrument. I refer to the opin-
!“ e L r essed by him, that the power of removal from
Nice does exist in the Constitution as an independent
Cur in the hands of the President without the consent
[Che Senate. I wish he had taken a different view of it.”
Whereas the present Secretary of War, with all the
j,Ability attached to his station as a member of
the House of Representatives in Congress, did, no
loturer since than April of last year, give utterance to
tlie"tbllowing sentiments: “ As to the constitutional
power of the President to remove a subordinate officer
(hr a difference of political opinion, I will say no more
than simply to ask gentlemen to recur again to that
clause of the constitution which provides that all civil
officers may be removed from office upon conviction
for‘treason, felony, and other high crimes and misde
meanors;’ and alter they have done so, to put the
question to themselves whether any thing can be more
supremely absurd, and even ridiculous, than this pro
vision of die Constitution if the President, was by the
same instrument, vested with the power, by his sole i
authority, not only to remove for ‘treason, fellony, j
and other high crimes and misdemeanors,’ but for no j
reason at all, without any default, w hatsoever in the |
officer! The object of this clause in the Constitu- j
tion was undoubtedly, in the first place, to provide for |
the removal of the public officers who had disqualified !
themselves for the public service by their crimes, or 1
the abuse or gross neglect of their trusts; and, second
ly, to throw' around the civil officer the same protec- j
tion and security, in tiie enjoyment of their privileges, !
and emoluments, but, above all, their good name, j
against all tyrannical and arbitrary invasions or re
strictions that the Constitution and laws, both of the I
State and Federal Government, are so careful to j
maintain and protect in the private citizen. The gc- ;
niusand spirit of ourwhole scheme and system of civil |
liberty are directly opposed to the discretionary and !
arbitrary control which the President claims and ex
ercises over the public officers.”
From the Georgia Argus.
Some of the Whig press seem to be quite indig
nant because of our opposition to the measure pro
posed by them, for Congress to vote for the support
of General Harrison’s family, twenty-five thousand
dollars ef the people’s money. They seem ready to
ascribe this opposition to a want of proper feeling
and liberality toward the family of our late President.
This is not the case, no such feelings prompt us to
lift our voices against a measure so palpably uncon
stitutional and extravagant. If the government
oices Gen. H. any thing, we would urge an immediate
discharge of the t’ebl. It does owe him by the laws
of the country, one month’s salary and no more.—
But, say the Whigs, the country ow es him a debt of
gratitude. Well, if Congress establishes the uncon
stitutional and dangerous precedent of paying of
debts of gratitude out of the United States Treasury;
let us go back and pay off equally asjust, and older
claims than Gen. H’s. Let us search out the widows
and orphans of revolutionary soldiers and pay them
first; many of them no doubt are in much more need
of a donation than Gen. Harrison’s family.
The charge of Mr, Van Buren’s extravagance was
tremendous; but we think we plainly foresee that the
very evils which the cringing policy of the Adminis
tration is intended to avoid, must be brought upon
us by the adoption of that policy. Every cowering
movement invites aggression. Every display, on the
part of the Administration, of subserviency to En
gland and to English interests, is regarded as evi
dence that we are almost ripe for rerolonization.
Had Mr. Van Buren been re-elected, we should
not have heard the Whig Governor of New York
complaining of interference with the rights of that
State, and of the subserviency of the Administration
to England.
Tiie selection of Mr. Webster as premier was not
only ill-advised hut unfortunate. He was, and is in
the pay of the Bank of the United Stales, and is be
lieved by many sensible and discreet men to be at
this moment in British pay—not directly in the pay
of the British Government, but of British capitalists.
The late outfit of sixty-fire thousand, dollars, furnished
by the Wall street money changers—mostly English
men or mere English agents—under pretence that it
was a manifestation of respect for his public services,
was a very extraordinary transaction, and, when view-
* Dew government to be composed of bank and state,
in which bank is to be master and state is to be slave,
and the people to be taxed and plundered for the
benefit of both. I am here at the holicaust of the con
stitution. If they succeed in their measures there w ill
be nothing left of that instrument but its ashes.
w ho are as ready to sack the place as our sailors
are.

John Van Buren.—We have now- the evidence j
that John Van Buren, now iu Congress is a different

Van Buren; aud we lay it before oar readers. The

announced by every Whig orator, and sung by every
I ippacauoe Club, from Maine to Louisiana. Yet
these same whigs, with all their clamour about the
useless expenditures ol money by the late adminis
tration, are the first to make a proposition to vote out
of an empty Treasury the sain of 25,000, to pay a
debt of gratitude. “ Be just before you are liberal;”
let the government pay its own debts before it under
takes to make donations to individuals.
The Southwestern Georgian, a netural paper, in
relation to this subject makes the following sensible
remaks :
“To this proposition but cne answer can be given;
for if an innovation of this kind, to the established
and fixed laws and customs of the country is once
allowed, it would be impossible to predict where it
w ould end. The
credit of the States the suggestion which immediately
followed, (coming from England too,) that the Gen
eral Government should assume the debts of the
States, and the conduct of Mr. Webster in dodging
that question as a Senator, must cause everv w'ell in
formed man to see the error the late President com
mitted in the selection of his Secretary of State.

LETTER FROM COL. BENTON.
Washington, City, June 8, 1841.
Dear Sir:—Your kind letter of the 4th inst., in re
lation to the democratic meeting at Spring Garden on
the evening of the 3d, and the resolve there adopted
to hold a meeting of the democracy of the city and
county of Philadelphia, to form an association to pro
mote my nomination and election to the Presidency of
has been received
duly sensible of the honor done me by
these proceedings, and extremely grateful for the kind
~~ ! motives which induced them, yet I must hasten to do
every thing in rny power to arrest at the commence
ment, a proceeding which, howsoever honorable to ine,
cannot in my opinion be beneficial to the cause of de-
come—we have no doubt ample satisfaction will be j mocrat > . Contentions for the first place have in all
.»/••» ! airps nun i
made to the family of the deceased President. For
our own part we would consider it a duty which we
were as much houud to perform as we are to pay the
tax collector his annual stipend. We should like to
have known, however, President Tyler’s views in re
lation to this legislative interposition.”
From the Louisville (K.v.) Advertiser.
Good.—We absolutely feel cheered w henever we
have an opportunity to copy an article like the fol
lowing from a Whig paper. It is American in spir-
iges and in all countries, been the bane of elective
governments; and I have been fully determined ever
since I have been on tiie stage of public affairs to have
nothing to do with such contentions. I have always
seen and now see in the ranks of the democratic parly
many eminent citizens who are worthy to fill the place j °f having it put at rest, and therefore we ask that the
of President; and it is my purpose now, as it has been question of the right of petition may be separated from
heretofore, to promote the election, and to support the | *kat seeking the abolition of Slavery, and that the
the Savannah Republican, as well as this paper, par
ticipated in it; and we learn that for soin time it was
prevalent even in New York.
To the Editor of the Enquirer.
Sir: My attention has been drawn to an extract in
your paper of the 11th inst. from the Richmond Whig,
which is in the following words
“We note in the vote in favor of the amendment olj
Mr. Adams, respecting Abolition petitions, the names j
of many Loco/bco members—among others the name!
of Van Buren—the son, we believe, of Martin. All
these worthies last year, when tlie game was to make
capital in the South for the little Kinderhooker, voted
the other w’ay. Out upon such byprocrites!”
Tuesday's Whig.
1 ou state in regard thereto, that the Van Buren j
who is a member of Congress is not the son of the j
late President. In this you are right.
However proud I might he to be allied to a person )
of such eminent abilities and exalted character, a re
gard to truth would oblige me to state, that I am not
related to the late President, Martin V an Buren, ex
cepting perhaps in a very remote degree; but more j
particularly so, when Ibis erroneous circumstance is j
made the occasion of an unjust attack upon him.
In regard, Sir, to my vote, in common with several
of my Democratic colleagues, upon the question re-!
ferred to, we ask our Democratic brethren of the i
South not to mistake our views.
The Democracy of the North are now , as they a! i

Whereas the Hon. Henry Clay, who is justly regar- , it and shows that an editor on that side of the qties
j tion is occasionally to be found who would not sacri- |
; fice the interests and honor of his country, and the
anover ; liberties of himself and posterity, on the altar of mam-
detl as the great leader of the whig party throughout
the Union, expressed similar view s in an electioneer-
in^ r speech which he made at Tax lorsville, H
county, Virginia, June 27th, 1840; being in these
words: “If the President were compelled to expose j
the grounds and reasons upon which lie acted, in dis- \
missals from office, the apprehensions of public cen- j
sure would temper the arbitrary nature of the power, !
and throw some protection around the subordinate of- ;
ficer. Hence the new and monsterous pretention has j
been advanced, that although the concurrence of the j
Senate is necessary, by the Constitution, to the confir- j
maiion of an appointment, the President may sub- j
*.et}\wn\Vy dismiss tho pprson appointed, not only with- j
our communicating the grounds on w hich lie basnet- ]
ed, to the Senate, but without any such communica
tion to die people, for whose benefit all offices are
created! And so bold and daring has the Executive
branch of the Government become, that one of its
cabinet ministers, himself a subordinate officer, lias
contemptuously’ refused to members of the House of
Representatives to disclose the grounds on which he
lias undertaken to dismiss from office persons acting
mon:
From the Cincinnati Daily Chronicle.
THE McLEOD CASE.
“It seems to us that the American national spirit,
like Bob Acre’s courage, is rapidly ‘oozing out at
the fingers’ ends.’ If this u'ere caused by the true
Christain principle of peace and humility, it would be
to us cause of great joy, and be a more real and sub
stantial evidence of national improvement than any
other; but it is not so. The whole root of it is the re
verse. It is the consequence of national effeminacy—
a natural result of the universal devotion to mam
mon.
“We are struck with this, on reading the argument
of counsel and the effort of the Administration in the
case of McLeod.
“Th is fellow', in his folly, boasts (whether truly or
not) that he was one engaged in the destruction of
the ‘Caroline;’ in which a midnight murder was
committed within the jurisdiction of New York, by a
band of Canadian marauders. Neither the Ameri-
administration (if elected) of some of these citizens.
| Private letters to this effect I have written to many
| friends in different parts of the Union, in answer to
| their enquiries; and what I now’ write to you is nothing
but a repetition of what I have already said and writ
ten to many others.
But while I cannot consent to be brought forward
for the Presidency, I am ready and willing to do all
that I can for the cause of democracy. The times re
quire the exertions of all the friends of the cause, and
and mine shall neither be withheld nor relaxed. We
have gone back not merely to the federal times of Gen.
Hamilton, and the elder Mr. Adams, but far beyond
latter may not, by allying ilself to the former, (and
which is held equally sarred by the North and South) j
acquire additional power to do evil.

An eye witness lias kindly favored us with ihe fol
lowing interesting particulars:
“On Thursday night a party of seamen and some
them—to the church and state limes of Queen Anne, 1 native troops landed in South Waiituug with three
as deputy postmasters in his Department.—
There may be cases occasionally in which the public , , , ,
• . . . . j. J • • • , . i can nor the Jmiglish Governments acknow ledge any
interest requires an immediate dismission without . .., b , mi - a
waiting for assembling of the Senate, but in all such
rases, the President shall be bound to communicate
fully the grounds and motives of the dismission. The
power would be thus rendered responsible. Without
it. the exercise of the power is utterly repugnant to
tree institutions, the basis of which is perfect respon-
sibilitv, and dangerous to public liberty.”
whereas, the present Attorney General of the U.
connection with the matter. Three years afterw ards,
a man who professes to be one of the transgressors,
is arrested; and forthwith the British Government,
ityhe plenlitude of its assumption, undertakes to far
ther the crime; and the American Government, for
fear the quiet of the money changers may be broken,
interferes to annul the cause of justice. Can this fa
therly protection ol the British Government change
and the corporation and state times of the first and
second George; in a word to the whig times of Sir
Robert Walpole; whose long corrupt, and pusillani
mous administration was a continued practice of torv
doctrines upon whig professions, and the source and
origin of every curse which now affects the English
people. We have gone back to tiie English times
w hen the paper system, the funding system, the bank
ing system, (as banks of circulation,) national debts,
taxes, paper money, loans for the existing generation
howitzers; iu landing they were fired upon by the Chi
nese without effect. In the course of the night a
sandbag battery was raised, the Chinese firing ai
short interval on the working party all night. At
dayligt this fire was returned with great effect from
the newly raised batteries; about 11 A. M. on Friday,
the signal was made to get under weigh with flood
tide and a very light wind.
The Calliope led into action; the Sarmaraug,
Druid, Wellesley (lowed by the boats) Sulphur and
to spend, and for posterity to pay, chartered compa- Modeste, all attacking the North Wantung fori, oc-
nies with exclusive privileges, and monopolies anil ex
emptions from law, the South Sea schemes and a thou
sand other cheating contrivances, were all hatched in
to existence under the hot incubation of Whig legis
lation. We have gone back to the Walpole times
when corporations began to treat with the Govern
ment as equals, or to dictate to it as masters; when
submission to insult and*depredation from abroad,
and tyranny to patriots at home, was the practice and
the policy of the administration; w hen the money was
casionally firing at a small fort on the side of the ri
ver opposite to Anunghoy, but this heavy fire was not j
long answered briskly from the forts, and the steam- j
ers, Nemesis aud Madagascar, soon were seen to j
run close to the fort and land the soldiers from I
on board of our boats they had towed. The soldiers j
speedily bad the whole island iu their possession, j
and I was told there was not a single casualty on our 1
side. j

Has he been rejected by the people?’ If he can

in tie early history of that celebrated Republic, that ;
a co ntrast was observable in the conduct of j
can 'dates for offices of power and trust before and af- !
for example, the case of a spy. No act of Govern
ment can shield him from punishment. In the Revo
lutionary war, Lieut. McPherson was taken near
Princeton bv Gen. Putnam. He was demanded bv
the British General, with the threat that two Ameri
can officers should he hung for him. It is said Gen
eral Putnam returned this answer:
“ ‘Sir: Lieut. McPherson was taken as a spy—he
was tried as a spy—he was condemned as a spy—and

“ISRAEL PUTNAM.
“ ‘P. S.—He is hung.’
“In the case of McLeod there w r as no war, nor
pretence of war. They who took the Caroline and
murdered the crew, were precisely in the attitude of
highway robbers.”
This is in the spirit wHIch actuated the late Admin
istration, anti dictated the replies of Mr. Forsyth to
the British Minister. Under the Democratic Ad
ministration, a firm determination was manifested to
voted to the public defence; w hen, to preserve peace,
the nation was not put in arms but the minister placed
upon his knees; when good men were persecuted, and
the bad were promoted; when military, naval and
civil officers were dismissed from employment for vo
ting against the minister and his partizans put into of
fice for voting for him; when secret committees com
posed of political hacks, were made inqttisilers into the
conduct of their political enemies, and never failed to
find what the minister sent them to hunt for. We have
gone back to the times when this, and such as this
was the work of the English government; and w'hen a
whig administration gave all the originals of which
our federal whigs are now presenting us with faithful
copies here. In every thing, great and small, foreign
and domestic, legislative and executive, the Walpole
whig measures of the reign of George the second, are
the measures of our federal whigs here; and if the
master spirits now in command should have as long
time to work in, as their great original had in Eng
land, thej’ would probably succeed in giving us as
much debt and taxes, as many paupers and pensions,
and as many corporations to rule, govern and bribe
us, as the English people now have. But I fancy their
reign will not be quite so long as lhat of the Walpole
whigs in England—that it will hardly extend to twen-
ter obtaining them—they seldom carrying out in the j resist the insolent demands of England, and maintain ; ty-five years; and of this the master spirits seem to be
