which lead* all classes to look to privileged
associations for the means of speculation
and extravagance,— to nourish, in preference
to the manly virtues that give dignity to hu
man nature, a craving desire for luxurious
enjoyment and sudden wealth, which render
those who seek them dependent on those
whosupply them—to substitute for Repub
lican simplicity and economical habits a
sickly appetite for est-inmate indulgence,
and an imitation of that reckless extrava
gance which impoverished and enslaved the
industrious people of foreign lands: and at
-last, to fix upon us. instead of those equal
political rights, the acquisition of w hich was
alike the object and supposed reward of our
Revolutionary struggle, a system of exclu
sive privileges conferred by j artial legisla
tion. To remove the influences which had
thus gradually grown up among us—to de
prive them of their deceptive advantages—to
test them by the light of wisdom and truth
trate in their support—all this was necessari
ly the work of time, even among a people so
enlightened and pure as that of the United
States. In most other countries, perhaps,
it could only he accomplished through that
series of revolutionary movements, which
are found too often necessary to effect any
great and radical reform; but it is the crow
ning merit of our institutions that they ere
ate and nourish in the vast majority of our
people a disposition and a power peaceably
to remedy abuses which have elsewhere
caused the effusion of rivers of blood, and
the sacrifice of thousands of the human
race. Tlieresult thus fat is most honor
able to the self denial, the intelligence, and
the patriotism of our citizens, it justifies the
confident hope they wi'l carry through the
reform which has bean so well begun, and
that they will go still further than they have
yet gon ; i illustrating the important truth,
that a people as free and enlightened as ours,
will, whenever it becomes necessary, show
"themselves to be indeed capable ol sell
government by voluntarily adopting appro
priate remedies lor every abuse, aad sub
mitting to temporary sacrifices, hoxxever
-great, to insure their pet tnaneut welfare.
My owu exertions iu tiie furtherance of
these disirable objects, have been bestowed

THE PUBLWJ LAtfDS.
Agreeahly to notice given on Tuesday last,
Mr. CALHOUN asked leave, and intro
duced a bill lo rede the public lands to the
States in which they are respectively situa
ted. The bill was read by its title, and, on
motion of Mr. C.t referred to the Commit
tee on the l'uelie Lands.
Soon after—-
Mr CLAY (of Ky.) having given notice of
this intention to move to introduce the copy
•right bill, stated that he regretted that fie
was detained by indisposition this morning,
and prevented frombeiug present when the
bill was introduced by the Senator from
•South Carolina (Mr Calhoun) for ceding
-the public lauds to certain Slates within
which they are situated, lie hail wished
■to suggest some other relerrence .of it than
to the Committee on the Public Lands;
but, unless some Senator would move a re
consideration of the order of refeience to
that committee, he could uot offer the sug
gestion which he wished to make.
(\lr Southard moved the reconsideration,
and Mr Calhoun objecting to it without
some satisfactory reason) —
Mr Clay went on to observe that, as the
•com nittee was constituted, four of its five
members were from he new States, lie
•meant to oiler no disrespect to them ; bin
he must say that this was a measure which,
■disguised as it may be, and colorable as its
provisions were, was, iu affect, ad ination ol
upwards of 100 millions of acres of t„e
•common property of all the .States oft; is
Union to particular States. He did not
•think it right tint such ,i measure should
he committed \o the bands ol Senators ex
clusively repsenting the donees. He
thought that a committee ought to he con
stituted in which the old Stales should have
a fuller and fairer representation. We
should preserve, whatever we may do, the
■decorum of legislation, and not violate the
decencies of justice.
Whilst up, Mr Clay would be glad if any
Senator would inform him whether the Ad
ministration is in favor of or agamst this
measure, or stands neutral and uncommit
ted. This inquiry he should not make il
the resent relations between the Senator who
introduced this bill and the head ol that
Admiriistiation continued to exist; but ru
mors. of which the city, the circles, and the
press are full, assert that those relations are
entirely changed, and have, within a lew
days, been substituted by others of au in
timate, friendly, and confidential nature.
And shortly after the time when this new
state of things is alleged to have taken
place, the Senatot gave notice of his inten
tion to move to introduce this bill. Wheth
er this motion has or has not any connexion
with that adjustment of former differences,
the Public would, he had no doubt, be glad
to know. At all events.it/is important to
know in what relation of support, opposition,
of neutrality, Ihe Administration actually
stands to this momentous measure ; and he
(Mr C.) supposed that the Senator from
South Carolina, or some other Senator,
•could communicate the desired informa
tion.
Mr Calhoun said he had supposed that
■no man had as much occasion for deli
cacy in referring to political compromise as
the Senator from Kentucky. That Senator
■had referred to some transaction in the po
litical course cf M r C. which occurred some
thirteen years ago, and had alluded
to certain passages in which Mr C. was ac
cused of changing his political relations.
But that Senator knew that it was others
who had changed their relations to political
subjects and measures rather than Mr C.
tvlio had followed less in regard *o those
subjects and measures than he was followed.
The Senator was accustomed to have Ii
example followed by others; but Mr (J. had j
uot usuallv followed it, and especially would
he not follow it now. But Mr C.’s person
al relations must of course follow his pol
itical relations. The Senator had now gut
the whole story, and Mr C. trusted it would
be satisfactory in regard to the rumors to
which he had alluded.
MrC. found it impossible to move with
out giving occasion to accusations of chang
ing liis grounds. If lie was again«t ihe
Chief Magistrate, he was charged" with
changing his opinions. If he was in favor
of him, he was theu accused of dunging
his political relations. But he lad not
changed at all; he stood now where he had
always stood, and that was on the unc inge
able purpose to bring back the Government
to its original smplicity and economy. He,
with others, had succeeded in expunging
the whole of the Senator's American Sys
tem, and other extravagances, so as to give
the Government a chance of taking i fresti
start. And it gave Mr C. pleasure to say
that the best part of the measures of the pre
sent Chief Magistrate were approved by
Mr C. and Mr C. was happy of the oppor
tunity of making these declarations, and lie
would stand to them. Nothing should
prevent Mr C from supporting a man while
he was politically right. The Senator from
Kentucky had given the Government a
wrong direction. Mr C. had resisted the
proceeding, and he should continue to do so.
standing on the ground occupied by Mr.
Jefferson and others of his class.
Mr Clay said he had understood the Sen
ator felicitating himself ou thu opportunity
which had been now afforded him by Mr C.
of defining once more ins political position ;
and .Mr C. must say that he had now de
fined it very clearly and had apparently
giveu it anew definition. This present Ad
ministration had met his approbation, and
should receive his support. It tinned out
that the rumor to which MrC. had alluded
was true, and th and t!i“ Senator from South
Carolina might be hereafter regarded as •>
supporter of this Administration, sinre he
had declared that all its leading measures
were approved by him, and should have his
support.
As to the allusion which the Senator from
South Carolina had ma le in regard to Mr.
C's support of the head of another Al
- (Mr. Adams.) it occasioned
Mr. C. no pain whatever, h was an old sto
ry, which had long been sunk in oblivion,
except when the Senator and a few others
thought pioper to bring it lip. But what
were the facts of that case? Mr. C. was then
a member of the House of Representatives,
to whom three persons had been returned,
from whom it was the duty of l lie House to
make a selecriou for the Preaidencv. As to
one ol those three candidates, lie wa*
known to be in an unfortunate condition
in which no one sympathized win him
more than did Mr. C. Certainly the Sena
tor from South Carolina/did not. That
gentleman, was therefore out of the ques
tion, as a candidate for t' « Chief Magistra
cy; and Mr C. had consequently the on
ly alternative of the illustrious individual
ol'tlie Hermitage, or of the man who was
now distinguished in the House of Repres
entatives, and sha haJhrid so iiimy public
places with honor to himself, and b nefit to
th» country. And if ■ lru' 1,
in history, the choice which Mr C. then
in ide, was p erisely Hip choice wbficS. ■•*!’.“
Senator ft » South C .roiina had urged
upon hi" nds. This Senator lihnsclt
ll id dec! I hi; prcf-imc* of Alans ti
Jackson. . ir. C. mule the same choice ;
and experience had approv'd it from that
day to this, and would lo eternity , tlis.ory
would ratify at 1 approve it. Lei the Scna
toi ft uni South Carolina in ke any iifi.ig on s
of that part of Mr. C.’s public career if he
could. Mr. C. defied him.
The Senator had alluded to Mr. C as the
advocate of compromise. Certainly he was
This Government itself, to a great extent,
was founded and rested on comprnmise.—
And to the-particula • compromise to which
allusion had been made, Mr. C. though' in
man ought to be more greatfud for it than
the Senator from South Carolina. But for
that compromise, Mr. C. w as uot at a I con
fident that he would have now had the hon
or to meet that Senator face to face in this
National Capitol.
The Senator had said that his own posi
tion was that on State Rights. But what
was the character of this bill? It was a
bill to strip seventeen of the States of their
rightful inheritance; to sell it all lor a mess
of pottage; to surrender it for a trifle—a
mere nominal sum. The bill w,;s, in effect,
an attempt to strip and rob seventeen States
of this Union of their pioperty, and assign
il over to some eight or ten of the Stales.
If tiiis was wliat tlie Senator called v.ndi
catiag the rights ofthe Stat >, Mr ('. pray
ed God to deliver us from all such rights and
all such advocates.
Mr. Calhoun said the Senator from Ken
tucky entirely mistook the character of the
hi". It was not only a Slate Rights me i
«ure but was iiu’ispctis fi.io to the peace
and prosperity of the States, as the only
measure mat would '.veil effect the object in
view.
Having used tlie word compromise, Mr.
C. feltbouud to refer the Senator to that
panic ttlar compromise ; aud the Senator had
said in reply that if any one should be thank
ful to him for that compromise—
(Mr,Clay. Not to «ie .)
Mr. Calhoun. The Senator always
claimed to be the author of that measure;
and l am not in the smallest degree thank
ful to him for it. 1 knew he could not a
void it. 1 was his master oil that occasion,
and I forced it upon him. L wrote home
at that time half adozen letters, say ing that
the Senator would be obliged to acceed lo a
compromise. I will now explain all that.
The effect of nullification is this; that,
when a State interposes, the in a'parity must
sometimes yield lo the minority. Those
who are to have Ihe smallest snare ot the.
plunder, in the majority, are sure to get away.
In the American system, Hie constituents of
the Senator obtained a very small portion;
they were rather those that were pluutleied.
A t the same time when Gen. Jackson oc
casioned the force bill, the Senator from
Kentucky had lost the manufacturers; Gen.
Jackson had supplanted him; and a Senator,
not now present, was also in the way of su
perseding him in that interest. The Sena
tor from Kentucky was therefore lljt on Ins
back, aud nothing would answer liis pur
pose but the coni|rfomi'e. it was with him
either compromise or annihilation. It xvas
necessary that ei.har he or the American
system should fall. It was not my desire to
mention these things ; but the Senator went
out of his way lo touch on kindred subjects,
and I therefore felt myself compelled to make
these statements. 1 have alluded to my let
ters on that occasion; I predicted in them
on the third day ofthe session that tins ques
tion would terminate as it did.
Sir I will go farther. 1 yielded a good
deal in that compromise. It was inv first
proposition that it should go out in 181",
proceeding in ai equal proportion for every
vear of 13 per cent. And I will say further ’
that at the session before we nullified <n
South Carolin i, I and other* sad that th’
question mu«t tie eel tied. It was
years which 1 then fixed on for its teriima
tion, and it would have been carried in that
tune bm foi certain circumstance*- lu re
gard to all I yielded ; my colleague (Mr.
I’ieston) knows why I did it, but 1 do not
oil o<e to slate it here. And I should not
iiave said any hing on thesuhjecr.if the Sena
tor had been silent hiiuself. Bit tie has no
gratitude on my p ri ; ami S )Ut.i Carolina
owes him no gratitude. He hcip I underilie
necessity of the case. I, backed by he gal
lant State winch 1 represent, compelled the
Senator »o break down the svst in it onede
Live blow; and it is mv opinion tint it will
bring back the Govern nent lo iis original
: tttriple.
Mr. Clay. I aiu sorry to ho obliged
prolong his discussion. But 1 made no at
: i-fion to co-npvoinis *s till it was done by the
Senator himself. I made no i .ferenre t
ilia event of 1825, till he had made it; and
I did not, in the most distant m Miner, allude
to Nullification ; and il is exftaordin, ry that
the Senator himself should have introduced
it, especially at a moment when lie is uniting
with 'he authors ofthe force hill, and ofthose
measures which put down nullification.
The Senator says 1 was flat on my ba< k,
and that lie was my master. Sir l would
not own him as my slave. He my innsjar .'
and I compelled by him ! An I, a, if it were
impossible io go far enough in one p; igrapll,
he refers to certain letters of ins own lo
move ihat I was flat an my back ! and. that
1 was not on!v on my hack, hot another Sen
ator and the President had robbed me! 1
was flat on my back, and unable to do any
ling but what the Senator from South Car
olina permb me to do.
Sir, what was the case ? I introduced the
compromise inspire „f the opposition of the
gentlemen who is said to have robbed me
■of the manufacturers. Il met his inicoui
promising opposition. That measure had
on my part, nothing personal in ir. But I
saw the condition of the Senator from South
Carolina and his friends; They had re
duced Smith Carolina, by th M unwise mea
sure, (of nullification,) to a state of war ; and
I therefore wished to save the effusion o'
human blood, and especially the blood of
our follow citizens. That was one motive
with me; and another was a regard for that
very interest which ttie Senator says I help
ed to destroy. I saw that this great interest
had so gui m the power ol the CliitM Magis
trate, that it was evident that, at (he riex,
session of Cangress, the whole protective
system would he swept bv the board. 1
therefore desired to give it at least a lease
of years, and, for that purpose, I, in concert
with others, brought forward that measure,
which was necessary to save that interest
from total amihilation-
But to display still further the circum
stances in which the Senator is placed, he
sa's. from tiia‘ very day ofthe compromise,
all obligations were cancelled Ural could, on
account of it, test on him, on South Caroli
na, and on the South. Sir. what right has
he to speak in the name of the w hole Soul IB
or even of South Carolina itself. For if
history is io he relied upon, if we may judge
ofthe future from the past, the lime wi I
come w hen the Seuator cannot propose to
be the organ even of rhe chivalrous and en
lightened people of South Carol.ua.
Si;-. I am not one of those who are look
ing out for wliat may ensue to themselves.
Mv . n vrsc- is nc.vly run ;itisso by nature,
.... Jsj i.i the process, cf political events. I
have nothing to ask of the Senator, of the
Sen;’;, v. rof South Carolina, nor yet of

io go, ci • heii 1 choose to go. into retire

() ir remarks under this lie id yesterday,
produced an unusual degree nf excitement
among the men aniile and uionit (I interests
ot the city, and as the charg<* against the |

We charged, that o tlie 23d of August,
(misprinted in a part ol our edi inn yester

20ih a August that In wmid require some

Hint such application had I ecu ■ ilc de
riming their dpietminatlon not to • I him
and announcing that he must inevituuly fail
on the 2G;!i.
We naiv reiterate the charge ; and to ex
hibit the disgraceful conduct of this house
towards the Bank, ofthe U filed States, we
state further, that a merchant of tiiis city
shipped a \ aluubie cargo to St. Petersburg.
Russia, with orders t<> rend; the proceeds
without delay to Mr. .laudon to London to
meet Ins engagements with tire Bank of
the United states or ns agency in that city.
The cargo arrived in due time, and was dis
posed of agreeably to the orders of the
shipper; but the aget t nr consignee in St
Petersburg has advised Hie Louse here,
that he has nut icmitted ihcTunda as di
rected, because letters hwl been received in
St. Petersburg fivm the l,r,use of Raisings
Brothers, ext Cos. announcin'; the probable
failure of Mr. Jvudon on the 26/A of August
And fie fur'her advises the shipper that in
consequence of such information, lie had
remitted the proceeds of the cargo iu ques
tion to the house of Messrs Barings, Bro-
I tliers A: Cos. lo ir> by them passed, over to
Mr. Jaiidon, iu Hie • vent of his note having
been dishonered!!
Again, two mereba i's of Philadelphia,
shipped two different cargoes lo Montevi

their consigne -s to remit t fie proceeds witli
oot delay to Mr. J.iudo i, in London, to
meet their eigig-ma rts with the United

the funds for purchasing the cargo. Tli“ir
Agent or Cou-fi? i >e replies that letters h id
been received in that, cili / from the house of
Barings, Brothers Ac Jo. announcing the
probable failure of Mr. Jaodon on Mie 26th
of August, and that he therefore retains
their funds in Montevideo until further in
slrucnons!! The consequence is that one
ofthe I his*s a hide I to had its bills dis
honored 'll London :
N 'W we vea l •!•■ , • t-seri, that th*’ whole
history of tlie coo ii i ial world, doc* nut
present a case ol suc.i a ii o dle i infamy as
this. The imagination cannot conceive of
a mor i (li-honorable proceeding than thus
sorr**ptiously using a confidential cominu-
nicatiaa for the deotruction of the party
n iking it. But it was not agaiusl the
Bank ol the Uuiied Stales aioue that this
oiuw wasaimeii; it struck at nuce the credit
and the inlereoi of every Auienuan ao.l i v
ery Foreign uierchaui iu our :ouMry trad
ing wiiii Foreign parts, and using the cred
it ot ihc principal motred losiitui'on* ol tlm
Union; and ii, a* we have but too much
reason lo suspect, these degrading and Uia
gracciuf communications were also made to
Canton and Calcutta, the consequences
may yet piove most disastrous. that they
were so mad", we do not doubt; nor can
•mv reasonable iqau now question who it
was that instigated the Messrs- Hotiengeur
to dishonor Uie bil.sol H e Bank of il»e L..til
ed Suues, winch we Hi know was ihe
great blow to iis cr dil io Europe.
i o j >uy esii .ale, oi railor to form
some di.-iHiit conception ol tin t jury to lit
commerce of our country Irom this vile
crusade against the U. .■>. B,mk, our rea
•lets must bear in timid tiial our annual im
porta nous from Canton aud Calcutta arc
between six and eight millions of dollars.—
L >it ii xv it in ii t .e la-t twelve yeais, this trade
could only be carried ou by the shipment
of specie for the put dtase of cargoes ; but
during ili.it period the credit ofthe Bank oi
l he l iiired Slates has been so uiiqnes'ioued
that its bills payable six nonths alter tneir
presentation in London, were equal ir., and
‘•ave been used as a sub ntute lor specie
1 hus the cargoes have iu all cases arnved
in this country been disposed of. and the
proceeds remitted to London long before
ihe bills with w hich they were purchased
become due. Ruttlif suegessafau infamous
.mil disgraceful warfare against the Bank,
has most effectually destroyed these credits,
as also those used along the coast of Sou Hi
America aud round Cape Horn: and in con
sequence, our trade with Canton and Cal
cutta, must in tutu re, require an immediate
investment of actual capital, and operate as
a drain ofthe precious metals from tae
United Stales to the amount of six or eight
millions nfdutlars annually.
We will merely add that in pointing out as
we did yesterday the co oper, llloll nicer
ta'N parties in tiiis city with Barings, Bro
thers Ac Cos ol London in their warfare a
gainst the Bank ofthe United States, we did
so most reluctantly, in consequence ofonr
personal relations with those parries ;-nut
we honestly believed that we lud a duty to
perform to our country, in exposing as we
have, the tendency of their acts; which, lo
shrink Irom, would have rendered us unwor
thy ol the station we occupy. How far the
fact s we have now stated justify our course,
