But, sir, ili s idea of receiving payment for
our staples in gold mid silver, is not n new
one. I t has been advanced before, and scout
ed by Southern statesmen oh an impraclible
absurdity. 'Literally trampled into the enrlli.
Strange that Southern men sliould be the lirst
J»iako it up the dust. If, sir, 1 have
in enßPns to all the principles ol
■HPnnd political economy, it is oi i ,i: ..'■ ly
importance tv the Southern planter,Unit
there should be large imp rlations, than it is
at what particular point those importations
■hall be made. J have always believed, and
new do, tlmt a nation cannot for any length ol
time, import more lhan it exports, nor export
more than it imports ; that all commerce is an
exchange of equivalents ; that the larger the
amount imported, the greater the necessity ol
equivalent exports; and of consequence the
higher the prices ol the articles exported, and
the greater demand for them in foreign conn
tries, from on increased ability to pay lor them
and that of necessary cornu qucnce. a I im
pediments on foreign commerce aru at the
expense of those who furnish the articles ol
that commerce.
Believing ail this, sir, I look w th anxiety
and ala nr. to the consequences. The coun

ding balance of demand and supply of that
•great staple, we should bo cautious how we
throw the weight of a feather m the adverse
»calc. No commercial event m the history
id the world has produced stieh consequences,
ns would the destruction of the value, or that
great reduction m the price of cotton, which a
large surplus would cause.
In conclusion, sir, allow trie to say, that in
nil respect lor distinguished men who differ
with me, 1 cannot look at the great changes
in our fiscal, monetary, and commercial sys
tems, of which 1 reg ird the present meat urn
as no important pan, in any uilu i light, than
us injurious to the whole country, and c pc
cially to Ihe South; and that il adopted, when
it is too late, that section m particular will re

and limbs, stifftnod by tlm lung paralysis, will
uwuke to curio (lie il.usioii.
I t itku ibis occasion to my, that in the
‘course which I have Celt il my duly to I,ike
upon this subject, I have bei n influenced by
no vain glorious confidence in my own jmlg
trieiit, still less by an ostentation of firmness
in opposing what is supposed to bo the ojmr
ion ot tho State. No, sir, no. 1 value my
euat on this floor very lilt le indeed; bull do
value above all earthly honors, the eonlid nee
and approbation ol those who tent ineheie—
and I declare in all truth and sincerity, that
the loss ol these would not he compensated
by the approval of the \orld Id ,i;des, My re

one of constituent and representative. But,
sir, I should be unworthy to represent them,
il 1 could hesitate one moment in choosni <
whether I should sacrifice their intore.il, and
toy own firm and clear conviction ot duly, or
their approbation and confidence, t ighly ns I
value them. Constrained to lake tnu course
which 1 have, it was due to my cniisliluunls
that 1 should present fully the icnsons that
have influenced me. 1 sincerely thank llie
’committee for the opportunity it Inn given
‘me of doing so.
The following remarks were made in reply
to Mr. Rlieti, of Mouth Cai'ohna, and Mr.
Hoffman, of New York:
II is with extreme pa n Hint I again ask tho
indulgence of the house. Hot exposed ns I
nrn to n cross lire from mv colleague, and the
gentleman from New York, I am forced to do
so. 1 have been unavoidably übs.uu Iroin the
house for a short time this morning, and have
not not heard all (hat lm« been said. But I i
am infofrmed tlmt my colleague, (Air. Illicit,) i
has attributed to me a purpose to stop the Go-
Vcrnment by withholding the necessary sup. I
plies. Now, sir, Isi d no such thing, but di- i
redly the reverse. Wli .t 1 end say was vor- |
batim tins: “That if the great conservative t
principle ot English liboriy o( withholding .
supplies, until (here was a redress of grievau- '
ces, was in any case applicable to our inslilu* (
lions, that the present was such sii■ occasion, i
But that 1 would uol do il. That howsoever i
and by whomsoever administered, 1 could not i
forget that it was still the Government of my i
country, and entitled to all proper aid from i
me of money and of every flung else. Thai i
1 would voio for raising tho mon yto the lull ,
extent asked lor. But that 1 must be all nvod i
'to choose the mode of raising it, and could ,
not and would not do so by tho plan proposed, i
regarding il as 1 did as a violation, n danger- i
tons violation of the Constitution,” This was
Avhat 1 did say. Mo understood by the whole
house. So m substance reported m all the
papers. So taken down ut tlic lime by the
reporters, and so explained to my colleague.
How Minch of justice or propriety there is at
my colleague again attributing u; her language,
I leave to the house nod the country. My
colleague says this is a loan, and only as u
loan is it constitutional:
1 propose to raise the same amount by a
loan in another way—not a permanent funded
loan, but a loan remiburstble at the will ul
the Government, and payable whenever it has
the money. Now, sr, what is the d.ffereuoe!
Both are loans; both create a public debt;
belli payable whenever the Govonunciit can
pay, with theie differences only, that the plan
winch 1 propose will sivo half a million ol j
dollars; and what is far more important, will
save the Constitution—and this is to step the i
Government, because, although I am as wil- !
ling as my colleague to grant the supplies, I
will not do it in ibe.parltcular mode dictated
by the Executive—violating, ns 1 believe it |
does, the Coiisi ilutioii—winch opinion 1 sup- 1
ported in mi argument, winch the gentleman
has not even attempted to answer. One word '
to the gentleman from New York —not by j
way ot breaking a lance in defence of my
colleague—no, sir, 1 shall not do that. It
docs seeni, that now-a-days, every orator, ul *
every grade, who has nothing else to say. as- I

sir, to all such, 1 owe it to myself to say, and
I owe it in myself to say no more, t. at mio

1 The Duplicity ol the General Gov. rnment.
The course oi'ljiu Honerul Government, in
1 regard to the exo nlion ol the (,'licrokeu Trea
ty, linds hut u weak laudation, even among its
own partisans, in Georgia. The niter fuiili
lesancss of Uie administration, however, has
1 scarcely been laid before the pc >p eol Geor
gia in Its full extent. Wo are fit inly rooted
in llm belief, that fur tli" last t x iiionlliH, Uie
administration was insincere in the impression
it was attempting to create, that ihe Indnitis
would be removed. It is of a piece with .Mr.
Van Ilureii’s policy. A summerset; no m il
ler bow complete, is by no means nmisiuil in
his history, and ho has the merit of agil ly in
• hut regard, on subjects where it would he
least looked (or. We infer the gross treache
ry ol the (icneral Government in deceiving
the authorities of Georgia, in ibo following
manner. The Seeiotory of War lias Le n in
correspondence with John Ro-s. in relation
to the emigration of bis tribe, certainly fu
some time. The War Department must bav"
been apprised ol Ross’ negligence or wilful
inattention to the malter, mid ul.-o cognizant
( d the reasons winch prompiMl bmi.r/a, the
hope of negotiating a New Treaty The pro
positions of Rims, were a subject of delibera
tion, doubtless wilh those who have controll
ed this mailer, and they knew with the mil l
once ot Ross, they could, hy accepting Ins
I propositions, at any time provide for the liilnre
reiuov.il of Ills tribe. Why then tins parade
ol orders—tins bravado of concentrating the
regular Hoops i i tba! country—lin.-t mockery
ol calling out the nnliliu of llio Hi.ate.-, lo en
force the execution of n Treaty, which they
hit ihemseKcs, they intended lo postpone I
And finnlh, why were not ihe auliionlies ol
Georgia, apprised oldcialy ol the new nugo
tuitions then pending, and the probability iln.i
limy imglit lead to tins event 1 'i'ne (i moral
(loveriinn nt I altered at cun sum mm mg n,s on
treaties —the udministrniion wavered at the
idea of cnlorc ng u parmnount law oflim land
openly, and Us agents have thus sought d.s
grneelully hy seerci negotiations to evade a
responsibility they dared not assume. Tins
is llio administration Unit was to follow in the
loom eps ol General Jackson I Much as wo
have disliked the course ol tno ialo I’res dent,
on this subject, ho is not liable lo cemjire.
1 lie bad (mill in the Government operates
very extensively lo the m ury ot the ciUsteris
ol Georgia. Tlio first, mid most impoilui l
consideration, is, the altitude’ in which ihe In
dians are placed. JJy ibo provisions ol tlio
Ticaly, their right to the lands in that section
of country, became extinguished on the 3d
day ol .May. Iho iSlaio ol Georgia has id"
ready disposed ol tlio lands. The Grants lor
n large portion, are in iho hands of her citi
■/. : s, issued hy her million'}’; those Indians
therefore, occupy ing lots already grunted ;
have no shadow of title, mid arc'liable lo be
ejected as mere u trnders. Ily the net of the
General Government, iliey have been made,
and now are, tresspassers on iho soil. What
difficulties ibis stale of Hungs may produce, is
beyond our foresight to conjecture, Jlosiii
lies, aggressions, outrages and 'murder, all
may come, caused hy tins ll igrant nidation i f
ihe laiih ol ihe .Federal Government. Ano
ther Indian War may result, not in the dis
grace ol (lie American arms, but llio cxtinc
•ion ot llio Cherokee tribe within the limits of
Georgia J.et the administration look lo it.
Again, our citizens have been grossly duped i
hy tile War Department, They were called
into ihe service of the U. Stales lo enforce its '
laws, and protect Ihe country. Called at a *
lii'ii' 100, when the War Department was se- -
rroily negotiating to evade this very result, t
The hardy volunteer promptly responds to ihe ,
cull—with alacrity, he lays aside the imple,
moots of pence, and gods himself with the
weapons of war—ho hastens to the scene of
anticipated danger—when, lo I negotiation
Inis taken the place of conflict", and ilie Gov. ■
eminent ehoosees to accomplish by diploma- i
cy, what it hud threatened lo achieve by amis. ,
And in addition lo this nioriilicalion, ho is
compelled lo remain in the service ol ih" C.
.Stales, to assist in dragooning his own lollow
citiaeus into a compliance with the me i ire
ot i his vacillating and faithless id min is ration.
II the Federal Government did not intend lo
practice tins gross deceit on the militia of
Georgia, why did not the order to Gen. Hcolt
which suspends the enforcement of the Trea
'}’, direct the discharge of the trooops which
had been called iulo scivicc lor that purpose!
Another evidence of the insincerity of the
administration, is to be found in the phrase
ology ol I lie orders they have addressed to
G. ii. taeoit. A plain mm needs no circum
locution to express his intentions. Mark the
obscurity—the ambiguity—nay, the direct
con 1 radiation contained m this precious di
plomalico—military production. A copy of
propesa's made by the Department to the
Cherokee Delegation, is sent him, with the
intimation that, they will be accepted. What
iiiusi that o.iicer inter, “i'hc Department
and the ( herokees arc negntiu'mg, and I must

Washington, June 9, 1838.
In the Senate today, Mr Clay, from Kentucky,
rose, and said he wished to present two petitions
in behalf of a National Hank. They professed to
he petitions from poisons of oil political parlies
—from nun of business —men who had felt in
the transactions ot their business the great incon
veniunco of the want of a uniform currency,
pai licularly as connected with the trade of the
South, Which had become greatly embarrassed,
and especially so between Connecticut and the
South. As these petitions were very much in
the same language with others which be had pre
sented, and us favorable action on this subject by
Congress constituted as it now is, was utterly
unattainable, Mr Clay thought it useless to say
or do more at tins lime than to ask that the pc.
til ions bo received and laid on tho table. lore,
gard to the political character which they claimed,
there were marks upon them by which Senators
might know whether they came from men of all
parties, which, Mr Clay observed in an under
tone, they would not care about knowing!
The petitions were laid on the table.
A number of private bills were disposed of;
and the Senate then, at an early hour, went into
Executive session, on Indian Treaties recently
submitted for their approval. Those which
wcrc'umlor consideration today went treaties with
the Senecas, the Sioux, and tho Wimicbagocs,
No decision Was come to upon any of them.
The House spoilt tlio whole of the day in the
consideration ot private bills.
'i on will bavo seen from time to time in the
newspapers rumours of cabinet changes. 1 can
assure you there will be no resignation or new
appointment until the close of the session. There
will then probably bo an entire re-organization
of tho whole Cabinet. The President does not
wish to encounter the comments, and examina
tion, mid perhaps opposition of t lie Senate to the
now appointments. Mr. Buchanan, it is belie
ved, will go into tho Stale Department, and Mr.
Fon-vrii will go to England, as Minister. Mr.
Van Beuen is extremely desirous of getting
ritl of Wouuui nx: but the latter sticks to him
like a bur.
The Sab Treasury Bill will be taken up next
w eek as soon as the Pre-emption Bill shall be dis
posed of. There is a majority of two against tho
lull certain, if all >he opponents of tho measure
arc on tlio ground- and we may therefore kill it
on the first shot. But in order to do so, every
man ill the opposition must bo present in his
place,
Mr. WtnsTKu will on Monday, introduce a
measure into the Senate, for tho purpose of remo

By the Northern mail of last evening, we have
| Montreal papers to the 6th, and Qucb c oftbc

[ Juhon Gulborno arrived in Montreal on Thcsday,
with several officers ol the army, and left inline,
diatcly lor Upper Canaria. Tlte Herald says :
‘•Hi- Excellency will inspect Fort Henry and
give the necessary orders for erecting fortifica
tions alongthe frontier, in ease of a general tear,
now becoming more probable every day."
1 he Earl ol Durham has issued a proclamation
offering a reward of a thousand pounds for the
apprehension of any individual connected with
the recent outrage on the Sir Hubert Peel, and ex
horts her majesty’s subjects, “notwithstanding
the aggravated, provocation they have receive!,
carefully to abstain from any act of retaliation,
which may expose them to the imputation of a
disregard of their own honor, by a violation of
the internal lights ol adjoining powers*” Sir
George Arthur has also issued a proclamation of
a similar character, but containing less conciliato
ry language. Ho charges the outrage ujon citi
zens ol llie United Stales, and in.-ists that redress
should be immediately demanded of our Govern
mtnt. The 85tb regiment and the thiee remain
ing companies of ihe 54, together with the detach
ment just arrived to join that regiment, received
orders fur Upper Canada*—The Coltlstrem
Guards were expected to setoff immediately.
’Troops are to be stationed at the points which
ate most exposed along llic frontier, and large
reinforcements are ordered into the Upper Pro.
viuce from Quebec, to garrison the fortifications.
His Excellency was to hold his first levee on
Tuesday at the Chateau St. Louis.
Sutherland is to lie lodged on Cape Diamond,
near Quebec, previous to his embarkation for
New South Wales.
The Edinburgh 74 whose return to Quebec
excited considerable speculation, put back because
she was short of provisions, She had on hoard,

Scanlan being among the missing. A number
of silver spoons ami other valuable articles bo

Mexico.
By tbe politeness of one of the gentlemen
attached to the United Stales ship Natchea. we
arc indebted lor a lilu of Mexican journals up to
10th May inclusive, as well as for letters on
Mexican affairs, which contain all the informas
(ton the yvriter was enabled to collect.
The Mexicans seem to ho getting quite habitu
ated to the blockade, or it may be, they have not
yet began to feel its ligors, the more so, as the
letters of our correspondent state, that the present
French force is insutlicient to maintain a com
plete blockade.
One ol the numbers ol the Diario makes men
tion of the capture of a schooner from Tampico,
called la Uarbarita. She wis taken off Vera
Cruz by a brigantine and gun boat.
To the Editor of the Dee.
Sir—The blockade of the Mexican ports, I
presume, deprives you of your usual intelligence
from that country.
Vera Cruz, Campeache, Tampico and Mata
raoras arc the places at present hloskaded. The
Frigate Herminie, Com. Bazoche, with Baron
Dvffandis on board, and a small brig, are at Sac
riildos. The other ports are each guarded by a
brig ol v’v’itr. The bark Ann Eliza from N. York
ran into Vera CiPZ on the 23d April, notwith
standing the blockade. i i.C difficulty in pre
serving an efficient blockade of tbe Mexican ports
will be very great, and a much larger number of
vessels will be required than is at present employ ■
j od. The iitasosd c Santiago, lot example, is ten
j milos from the mouth of tho Kio del Norte —one
vessel can not guard both entrances; again to the
southard [of Tampico is Tuspan, an excellent
harbor having almost an entire inland water
communication with Tampico. It seeqis at pro
sent the French intend no further annoyance
than a blockade, thereby it is thought tbe people
will be induced to depose the present incumbents
ol office, and place them in power who will make
the required reparation. This however seems
rather an improbable supposition, in as much as
General Unea who heads the disaffected parly,
and who has actually taken possession of Mara
thon and Guaimas, has recently pledged himself
to support the government against the unjust ex
actions, its they term them; of the French. The
Mexicans themselves speak of the blockade, as a
matter of very little importance, and many are of
the opinion, that its tendency will be to produce a
most harmonious co-opperation of the various
parties, which have heretofore distracted the
coun ry!
Ail hostile operations against Texas; have been
for the present, entirely suspended; the whole
energies ol the nation being directed to prepara
tions to meet any emergencies which may arise
oui ot the F each difficulties.
The intelligence which has just reached Tam
pico, that the United (States has consented to ic
ier the claims to the arbitration ot some foreign
power, has been received with the warmest man
ifestations ol approbation. They speak of it, as
