W. MILLER. From our Corresptndfint. Washington, June 11th, 1838. The Globe of Friday evening last contains a sketch of Thursday’s debate in the Senate,on the’ bill making appropriations for suppressing Indian hostilities, which is a striking example of that systematic misrepresentation to which every member of Congress, who docs not bow his neck to the yoke of ihe Executive, is subjected in the columns of the official paper. The Globe’s ac. L count was designed to give the impression that Mr. Pueston opened a debate in reference to the Cherokee Indians, and the Executive’s proceed ings with respect to them, and called up Mr. Lumpkin in reply: and the impression is strengthened by Mr. Lumpkin having given his reported speech the appearance of being entirely in answer to Mr. Pueston, Mr. Pueston has addressed a note to the edi tor of the Intelligencer, correcting this misrepre. sentation. The course of the debate was this : Mr. Pueston made some remarks on the Florida war, without the slightest allusion to Georgia affairs. Mr. Lumpkin followed, making no re ference whatever to Mr. Pukston’s speech, but going at once and exclusively into a discussion of the correspondence between John Ross and the Executive, stating that his object was to dis abuse the public mind from some erroneous impressions in regard to it, and declared that the Exe ; utive of the United States had the authority of Governor Gilmer for the course he had pursued. Mr. Pueston replied to this, and contended that the proceedings of the Executive were impolitic, and calculated to embarrass Governor Gilmer and General Scott, and to impede the execution of the Treaty. He contended, further, in opposition to Mr. Lumpkin, that Governor Gilmer did not authorise the extension of the ime of the removal of the Indians for Ivjo years, Sic. Sic. Sic. Gov. Lumpkin replied to these remarks, and so the debate proceeded. Os Gov. Lumpkin’s first speech, which opened the whole ground, and led to the debate, there is no mention in the Globe. These two circumstances, which Mr. Preston says induced him to notice this misrepresenting of the Globe : Ist. The Globe, published on the evenintr oj Ihe debate, contained the extracts from Governor Gilmer’s letters, which had been read by Mr. Lumpkin, in the course of his speech on that day. I ifdly. Mr. Lumpkin’s speed), as published in Ihe Globe, manifestly prepared by him, leaves the , impression that all ho said on the subject of the Cherokces had been elicited by Mr. Preston's remarks, whereas Mr. T-i-umu* procoJtJ that gentleman, and brought on the discussion. Knowing as Ido that pains have been taken to fill Georgia with copies of this particular num ber of the Globe, for the purposes of par y, I thought proper at once, to correct some of Us er rors, and set the matter right. As to the Globe’s aracks on Mr. Pueston and Governor Giemeu, the Southern people will treat them with the scorn and contempt they deserve. In the House of Representatives to day, Mr. Puentiss of Mississippi introduced a resolution setting forth that Congress has no right to inter fere with the laws of Stales fixing the time and places of election,am! »h,aUho resolution by which j the election of Mississippi in November last, was set aside; ought to be rescinded. It lies over one day, and was ordered lo be printed. Mr. Boon made an ineffectual attempt to call up a resolution fixing a day for the adjournment of Congress. A resolution was adopted instructing the Com mittee on Military Affairs to consider the expedi ency of taking immediate stops for the erection of fortifications along our Northern Frontier. Also a resolution directing the Judiciary Com mittee to examine the laws relating to piracy on our inland lakes and other waters. On motion of Mr. Menkeep a resolution was adopted, calling on the President for all informa tion he may possess relative to the attack on the American steam boat Telegraph, in the British waters, and the destruction of the British Steam boat Sir Robert Peel, in the American waters, with the correspondence that has taken place, be tween our Government, and the British Authori ties on the subject. And also any information ho may possess re lative to lho concentration and Governments of British military forces on the frontier. The motion to reconsider the vote by whicli the Bill making appropriations for pulling down the New Treasury Building, and erecting a fire proof building for the General Post Office, was laid on the table, came up : And the House re solved to reconsider : and the question recurring on laying on the table was negatived. The question was then put, on concurring with the Committee in their amendment providing for the erection of a plain fire proof building on the present site, in a style corresponding to that of the other Departments, and limiting the whole expense lo $150,000. A loose and desultory discussion arose, after which another motion was made lo lay the bill on the tabic : and was carried. The House then took up several bills relating to Ihe District of Columbia : and spent the re mainder of the day on them. In the Senate to*day, the resolution offered by Mr. Lyon, last week calling on the President for further information respecting the disturbances on the Northern Frontier came up in its order. Mr. Talemarce remarked, that until more time should be given to the Executive authority of the two countries, to settle thq Frontier Diffi, cullies between them, any information on the subject would not probably bo acted on by Con gress; and the call for it would tend to inflame the public mind. It could do no good, and might do much mischief; he therefore moved that t)ie re* solution bo laid ot the table, which was done ac cordingly. On motion of Mr. Fueton, of Arkansas, it was resolved that the Secretary of War, lie requested lo communicate to the Senate any information he may possess relative to recent man ifes aliens nfa hostile disposition on the part of any Indian tribes bordering upon the State of Arkansas. On motion of Mr. Linn, the Bill to encourage the introduction and promote the culture of Tro, pical Plants in the United States, was considered, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. After the reception of a few private petitions in Senate, on motion of Judge White, went irtlotht consideration of the Indian Treaties, in Exccutivi Session, and was engaged with them during tin remainder of the day. M. The substance of GEN. HAMILTON’S re mark's in the Senate of South Carolina, o> the Resolutions of the House of Representa tive! respecting the Suh-Treasun/ : Mai 31, 1838. Alter the reading of the Gen. Ha millon rose and said that he could not hut regre the introduction of the topic now presented so the consideration of the Senate. They had con vetted to consider one subject, and that of tin deepest and most afi'ecling inlerost. He had ho ped all others would have been avoided ; at leas such as were in the smallest degree calculated U mar that concord and harmony in which they hat consummated the noble benefaction by wind S mlh Carolina had succoured her metropolis desolated by a calamity so signal and ovcrwhel ming. This wise and generous office discharged ho had likewise hoped that they would have beer permitted to return to their homes with nom other than those feelings towards each other which belong to this enlarged benevolence, so munifn cently performed. liut it seemed this privilege was to be denied them. They were, at the very last moment of the session, to bo distracted and divided. They were to return io their families with feelings of alienation and distrust towards each other, by the introduction of esanetially a party topic; and what is worse, in the form of a pious crusade against the consciences of a highly respectable portion of our members in Congress. !Sir,said Gen. H., South Carolina is too small a family in this great community of Slates, to be divided; more especially on a subject of such doubtful policy as the Sub-Treasury scheme. The time is coming when from the condition of public opinion elsewhere on a topic of deep and irrepressible public interest, we shall not only re quire a wise and considerate sagacity, invincible fortitude, and high moral courage, but, above all, united counsels, the icsult of not only the best political but the most cordial social relations. Can we not allow our State one moment of re pose 1 Must she pass the verge of one agitation merely to bo hurried into another I Can she ne ver breathe for one instant in the temperate zone? We have just come out of one internal contest which shook South Carolina to its centre, i hanks be to God, the crisis was passed without a convulsion or fraternal bloodshed ; and I trust lam not extravagant in the hope that these in ternal differences arc buried in the ocean beneath that wave on which the Halcyon rests her dow ny bosom in token of tranquility and peace. Surely vve have enough in the opening pros pects of our country, to occupy the public spirit and enterprize of our people. Is not the pathway which we are making to scale the Allegany, and by the seeming annihilation of space to form our commercial connexions with the West, sufficient to employ our energy 1 Can wc not find a su. per-abundant excitement in the effort we are mu king to establish our right of way across the ocean, and thus to bring back the exchangeable value ol the fruit of our own industry 1 Must we seek in an untried experiment—at best of doubtlul Import, a mere theory in finance—to concentrate and consolidate party spirit, and give to its inevitable consequences all the malignity and intolerance which belong to an insane fana ticism 1 . i . , I have said thus much (said Gen. H.j to in culcate the councils of peace. I mean, in confor mity with such a feeling, to submit a motion for the postponement of tlio whole subject to tile next session. Tills is the most —yea, it is more than I hope to obtain. I know that those rcso lutions on your table come ex cathedra , from the mintage of a preliminary Caucus. It was per haps politic that the, manacles and thumb screws for a portion of our delegation in Congress should have been forged in the shop before they were brought into this assembly. Deliberation was fatal to them. In a clear lield and with a fair fight they could not have sustained the battery of discussion for one moment; at least before an un- Irammeled jury, ofsuch men as once served South Carolina. I submit the motion of postponement, because in all probability ills the only one on which, from the late hour of the night and the necessity of my immediate departure from this place, I shall he able to record my distinct and inflexible opposi lion to the whole subject before you. It is, however, time that I should now say a word or two on the Resolutions themselves. The iirst resolution asserts as a fact what I do not know and do not believe—that the Sub Treasury scheme has found favor with a ma jority of the people of this stale. 1 believe this to boa more naked inference. Until Mr. Calhoun consented to become the foster father of this Treasury offspring, there were not ten individuals in the sta'o with whom the unpromising bantling obtained countenance. Even the very papers and politicians that now hug the ungainly urchin to their bosoms, spit upon its puling infancy, when it seemed to be hanging in all the unecr' tainlica of existence on the exhausted dugs of its legitimate parents. It is true that Mr. Calhoun was able to work the conversion in November last of about one hundred and twenty live citizens of this state, who happened to be respectable members of the Legislature ; and that, too, with a miraculous suddenness almost equal to that of the mighty apostle on bis journey to Damascus. It may be that these hundred and twenty-five gentlemen have made about enough converts to serve as an echo to their own voiac, but that the great body of our people havo considered ibis subject Ido not believe. It is a subject eminently uninviting and distasteful, except to minds fa miliar with financial details. I admit that among our politicians there is a vast majority in favor ol the Sub Treasury ; and that strenuous efforts arc making to form and consolidate a parly on this question. And I further admit that it may be about as convenient a one for proscription as can be designed. Nor do I pretend to say that a majority of the people may not, by the force of party discipline, • with proper appliances to boot,’ bo brought to sustain this measure extraordinary as it may seem. A few clap traps and cant phrases will often accomplish what the profound est philosophy can not effect. ‘ The emancipation of the South from the commercial thraldom of the North,’and ‘a direct trade with Europe,’from the flexible lips of a cunning demagogue, will work wonders; and many honest and deluded subjects will scarcely give themselves time to ask how locking up gold and silver in huge Cyclo pean safes, with a correspondent issue in their stead of irredeemable continental paper money, can accomplish this purpose. They will take the prophecy on trust, until defeat has put the humbug to ight, or an explosion has brought it to the comfortable position at which it now rests—an Independent Treasury perfectly bankrupt. At present the people of South Carolina have regarded the Sub Treasury scheme with about as much indifference as they have the popular hum bugs of Animal Magnetism and Phrenology. I am quite sure they arc equally prepared to sanc tion our instructing our Senators and Reproscntai fives to vote for the Exploring Expedition— a measure of far more innocent responsibility, which cannot involve the beggary of our people | and the corruption of our public servants ihe category, therefore, in this resolution I 'c cannot vote tor without violating my own sense ic ot veracity. Let me now say a word on the second resolu. ?- I101 '—“io most piegnant of all,which, hy a cuo n J? ln 5 device, insinuates an instruction to the re i- metory members of Congress. At least it enun ,y ciales a fearful admonition. '2 he resolution is in these words. “ Rewired a- in die opinion of this Legislature the policy ot mdieated in those resolutions [that is, the resolu jr lions approving the sub treasury] is essential to t- the .test inteiusts of the country; and that amj le public in-vant who refuses to pieman the same, j- pursues a course injurious to the welfare and pros st l‘°W of the Slate.” to 1 his resolution, Sir, is certainly very modest id and unpretending. The Legislature has a clear ;h and incontestiblc right to express its opinion that S| the sub treasury is a measure essential to the best I. intciests of the country, and that all who dilVur J, io opinion with them arc pursuing a course iuju. n rious to its wcUaroaud prosperity. 13ul arc not ie our members of Congress equally entitled to their h opinion! Audit it happens to bo precisely tlic U converse of this dogma, may tficy not solace their ;e consciences wilh the belief flidt in point of fact y they »re pursuing a coarse best calculated to pro j mole the prosperity and welfare of the country s when they oppose the sub treasury scheme! Is ,s not this opinion precisely as broad as it is long! a And it is narrowed down at last into, sir, your a opinion; and my opinion, and any hody’sopinion; y and the declaration sinks into a neutrality about, t. as absurd is it is harmless. I admit it contains II a threat; but in this point of view it is not so po, e Ccntial as to be beyond all human toleration. A li scarecrow it unquestionably is, but such an onu as old Muzzleton in the cornfield, that rcspcc able f personage who has stood for so many years in, j the same spot, bloated with his straw and dead . feathers, whom the very rooks may eye wilh per u feet safely. I, Si r > those who concocted these resolutions are I perfectly aware that South Carolina repudiates the doctrine of instruction. It has never lound . favour in her eyes. 'J’he example which has , been cited of the instructions sent to our dclega. . tion to oppose the tariff, do not apply. They I were intended to strengthen, not to weaken, our t delegation; to give them confidence in (heir . course; not to violate their consciences; because I ihcy were known to concur with the unanimous l opinions ol nearly our whole people on that toi . pic. The cll’ort before us is certainly the first , settled design to instruct, and hy indirection to . reach the conscience of a rcfaclory member. I do not propose, sir, at this lime, to discuss the doctrine of instruction. I must however, us t sumo the privilege of saying that according to r my humble view the exercise of this doctrine itt -1 volvcs as gross an usurpation and fallacy in politi ■ cal ethics as can well be conceived. ; In the first place, the constitution gives us the right to elect, but gives us no right to depose, our 1 Senators—the very end and scope of tho exercise , of the right of instruction. If it was designed' , that we should exercise this formidable powc, it I ought to have been given hy an exploits grant in f the constitution; otherwise its assumption must 3 bo usurpation. e 2l is ti lallacy, because it proceeds likewise on y the modest assumption that we arc better inforui ,- ed on the subject on which the member of the. National Congress is to exercise his judgment and . conscience, than himself—although specially . within his constitutional jurisdiction and compo r loncc; and for the exercise of his Pee and unbi ,, assed suffrage he is responsible to (dud and his . country. J his is not all. The practice itself is calculu. ; l 3° work an entire change in our system of government, by substituting the legislation of our Wtale legislatures for the legislation of Congress. Does the constitution make our members of Con gress our sieves 1 No. The venom of faction, ; disgusting arrogance, and the conceits of over weening vanity, may attempt to force them to • be so. II those objections hold in the abstract against t the right ol instruction,what force do they acquire when applied to the present occasion and to the j persons against whom the Resolutions on your , table are levelled. I It is known that one of our Senators and it is 3 believed that three of our Representatives in - Congress arc opposed to the Sub-Treasury scheme. It is rumored that this project is at its i j uat B» e P. and that it has been intimated that un less these mein hers can he made to violate their , consciences and vote lor the measure, it must , perish ; for as it is in a minority of the people of . the Union, no hope of its passage can bo cnlcr i tuined except the deed be now done, and done \ 9‘t‘ck 3- i I.ikc good liege subjects wo are therefore sum . moned to the scaffold to witness the infliction of the actual cautery or the rack, in case of non com i plianco qn the part of our public agents- I.et in a now pause to ask whether this ignoble tyranny is worthy of the ancient repute of South Carolina ] Where is the chivalry that once graced her renown] Where the magnanimity and confidence with which she has always treat cd her public servants ]—a confidence which was the nurse of manly sentiment, inflexible indepen- i deuce, and of a public virtue that scorned all temp lalion, save the inducement to serve her wilh , ■ honesty, fidelity, and truth. Alas, they are all , giving way to a spirit of vulgar Loco Focoism, , in the promotion of which tho first essential ' slop is to violate all that belongs to the pride anti | honor of such servants as South Carolina once j had. It is true, we have had precedents (rum . other stales quoted foron.r imitation and instruc- . lion. They are no authority, sir, in South Car olina. Lot those States, if they will, practice their despotism, but let thorn keep it to tcmselvcs. J We will have none of it. At least I know I speak for these who arc beyond the reach of my 1 voice, whs when the temporary delusions of this * question have passed, will visit with their deepest ' reprobation this attempt to violate the freedom J ■ ol opinion and the sacred right ol conscience. 1 know not, sir, how that portion of our dele, gallon against whom it js aimed, will receive this compulsory process. Whether they will consent J to surrender their,judgement to save what they ’ believe to be a pernicious and unwise project, 1 from distruclion. I trust they will let the vagrant ' die, whether he, expires from inanition or a vio- J lent death; whether he dies in a ditch, or gives up the ghost secundcm iirlem after the most approv ed phlebotomy of the doctors. I hope they will ' refuse to serve even on tho Coroners inquest— 1 and maintain throughout what belongs to tho * courage of a Southern gentleman, who fears, f next to his God, a violation of his own honor and sense of propriety. I.et me tell them, in a voice loud enough I J trust through the press at least to bo heard, that ' public confidence is not to be purchased in South 1 Carolina by subserviency, but by independence; not by timidity, but by fearlessness. Let them do what they regard to bo right. If public duty, 1 Ins any other rule than Ibis, I can only say, sit, ' that we have read to precious little purpose the memorials which those who have gone before us | in the State have bequeathed for our instruction. I It is understood that these resolutions arc espe 1 daily levelled at one of onr Senators. V'ou can ) not mistake rue, sir, I allude to Mr. Preston. ; Professing, as 1 do, a grout personal regatd and • respect for this gentleman, it is known that my relations with his colleague are far more in'imate. I have ventured to differ with Mr. Calhoun, and to think him wrong on the question which now agitates the country, without affecting in the slightest degree the relations to which I refer and which it will be both my pride and pleasure to cultivate, in despite of the proscription with which those who claim now to he his exclusive friends may visit my honest difference of opin ion with one to whom I have been personally and politically devoted for the last ten years.' Hut these considerations shall not prevent my doing justice to his colleague. Why, then, I ask is he selected lor the sacrifice! Does ho not stand precisely where he did when ho was war ring against the overshadowing despotism of Gen. Jackson’s administration! If it was right and consistent to oppose that administration, is it the less so to ho found in the ranks of opposition to his successor’s, whose first claim to puidic conli.. deuce was the annunciation that he would lollow in the footsteps of his illustrious prototype! Is not this very Sab Treasury system lire sequel of, (ion. Jackson’s despotic grasp to take the public treasure ol tho country into the hands of the Ex. ceutive! Does not Mr. I’rcston stand precisely where he did when he was theolrjectof the high est public favour at home! It is true, that with perhaps a less stern and enlightened forecast, he. could not emulate the boldness of his colleague in quilting his old allies at tho very moment ol approaching victory, lost victory to his party should bo worse than defeat. Hut tins fidelity to old friends with whom he had long battled, is surely not an object of moral reprobation. It is at best but n weakness, which in the estimate of some will bo quite as amiable, if not ns respecta. ble, us that enlarged sagacity which looks at poli tics with the same coolness with which it would regard a theory in metaphysics. t 11 I am not mistaken, sir, Mr. Preston, on the occasion when Mr. heigh of Virginia received tho instructions by which that Commonwealth was pleased to instruct him out of his seal, initio rated very distinctly that ho was no convert to the doctrine. 1 hope that rny memory has ser ved me right, and that while Mr. Preston is pic pared to treat the communication which ho will doubtless receive from our presiding officer with the most perfect respect, ho will at the same time he .prepared to maintain his own independence, and the rights which belong to him ns a Senator representing the people of this State in their so vereiga capacity. I must confess there is something in the situa tion ol this gentleman which commands both my sympathy and consideration. Although he was educated, married, and has lived among us almost from his childhood, yet ho is, in one sense of the word, a stranger; but a stranger whom wc have honored, because he was worthy of being hono red. He is a native ol another Stale. 1 ask my self, ii his colleague stood in his place would this threat he hurled,at his head! And I ask my self whether it becomes tho oldmnd long appro, v«d hospitality of South Carolina—that senti ment which is the very religion of our hearth stones—thus to treat one who possesses the stron gest claims to our protection and csleem—one who lias thrown afresh halo around the genius of our own State—the vigor, the power, the beauty ol whose eloquence, and lofty public spi : rit, have ridded an attractive grace to a moral worth which renders his character free from all suspicion or reproach. Men of the Stale Eights party, are you pre pared to sacrifice a man who in the hour of peril stood by you with unfaltering courage and devoo lion,and threw his whole sou) into your contest, and gnvnlo it the unsurpassed treasures of a ge nius and elocution rich, various, and resplendent? I know, sir, it has been said by some that Mr. Preston is a friend and perhaps an adherent of Mr. Clay. This may or may not bo true; hut 1 would ask bow long is it since, oven if he should prefer the champion of the West to Mr. Van Du ron, such a preference is to be visited not alone with censure but positive punishment! Hus our Stqtß.sJid, by the easy gradations of an increasing love, into the arms of the Administration! Do members acknowledge “the soft impeachment!” Things have strangely altered. Not six months since, I was the object if not of denunciation ut least of distrust, because I was suspected of a 100 friendly regard for the present Chief Magistrate— and this because 1- bed never condescended to abu-o him, but uniformly treated him with the consideration his kindness to mo personally de served at my hands. And now, forsooth, 1 am charged with a devotion to Mr. Clay, because, I presume, from a similar motive of self respect I am disposed to carry a civil longue in my bead in relation to both gentlemen. Sir, ns I do rot mean to take the bounty, i am resolved not to - nlist for the vyar. I have therefore heard with inexpresst-1 blc surprise that a secret combination of the old leaders is on foot in this Slate to give its vole to Mr. Clay. I know not who the Guy Faux of this conspiracy is; but so fur as so humble an in dividual us myself is concerned, 1 know the path which leads to rny own independence and happi ness; that is to my own home and the duties of my home. Ido not emulate the renown of any Guy Warwick. I It is the last time I ever expect to hear the sound of rny voice in this Hall. I have been, \ for the last sixteen years of rny life, in various , stations in tho service of South Carolina. This i reflection only augments the sense of the obliga- i lions I owe her. I am gratified that on this • last night of my service tho opportunity has been afforded mo of lifting up my voice in defence of , public liberty and private right. Get me, then, again conjure you, that upon a \ subject so utterly worthless us how the poor lucre of this government is to he deposited, you | do not distract and divide our people, recently so , thoroughly and cordially united. Permit us to I return home in peace and good will. If the do t vouring clement has scattered desolations in its track, and sent the broad glare of its disastrous \ light into the very concave of the heavens, under i the blessing of God we have decreed that the fair ' structures shall rise from their ashes with reno- ! valed beauty, and the cherished metropolis of ’ us all again lie the abode of cheerful industry and ' manly enterprise, if, however, this privilege is denied to us—if I stand alone with my friend t from Sumter, I trust I shall be found to stand, in 1 that lust act of my public life, in that position 1 which comports best with all that belongs to the ! authentic public sense, public principles, and public honor, of South Carolina, MARRIED, On the fith inst. by the Rev.
