WASHINGTON, DEC. sth, 1837.
The proceedings of yesterday were unimpor
poilant, and altogether of a formal character,
The Chairmen of tho Committees appointed to
inform the President of the organization of Con
gress, repotted to their respective Houses, tho
President’s intention to communicate a message
at 12 o’clock ; anil soon afterwards Mr. Abraham
Van Buren, the President’s second aon, and Pri.
vate Secretary appeared at the bars of the Senate
and 'he House, successively, add after being in
troduced, in due form, werti through the business
of presenting the message ili'd a formidable pile
of accompanying documents, with hia character
istic grace and ease. Major Van Buren certain
ly discharges his duties more agreeably than did
his predecessor Andrew Jackson, junr.
No remarks were made on the Message. The
usual number of copies were ordered to be printed,
and the House adjourned. But there was a duty
of a solemn nature to be performed in the Senate,
that of announcing the death of the late excellent
Senator Kent. In the absence of the surviving
Senator from Maryland, the melancholy task de
volved on Henry Clay : and never was tho do*
parture of a good and useful man from this earth
ly scene noticed in more appropriate, or more el
ecting terms—never were the encomiums of
friendship more worthily bestowed—never did the
I voice of eulogy fall upon the ears of a more at
'tailrive and sympathising auditory. The tribute
ipaid hy the distinguished Kentucky Senator to
llis'tlsptulcd friend, was worthy of the strong af
fection and respect which knit them together for
mote than twenty-five years, and of the simple
and natural eloquence for which Mr. Clay is re
markable above ail men I ever know. He un
locked in tho bosoms Os all, a source of painful
regret, and of deep and durable emotions.
To-day, the Annual Reports from tho Heads
of the Executive Departments, the Treasurer of
the United Slates, the Comptroller of the Treas
ury &c. &c. were laid 'before the. two houses by
their respective presiding officers, and the usual
number of copies ordered to bo printed in the
House; a resolution was offered by Mr. Johnson
of Md. calling on tho President of the United
Slates to communicate to the Hou e the causes
of the delay in the sailing of the vessels design :
for the Exploring Expedition; and all correspon
dence calculated to explain those causes. This
will come up for decision to-morrow.
The resolution offered by Mr. Underwood of
Ky. on Monday, directing the Clerk to cause a
compilation of the lists of Ayes and Noes, on cv
ery question decided to be made and published at
the end of every session, for distribution among
the people, was taken up, aud after a brief des
cussion, laid on tho table.
The following resolution offered by Mr. Un
derwood was unanimously adopted:
dissolved. That the Secretary of War bo di
rected to lay befoie Congres, copies of all orders
and instructions to the Commandcr-in-Chief of
alt forces in Florida, authorizing him to raise
troops, or call into service any portion of the
militia, or to accept’lhe services of Volunteers for
the purpose of suppressing Indian hostilities; &
that the Secretary also report what measures have
been adopted to enlist or procure the services o*
other Indian warriors to light against the Semi*
noles —the numbei of ludians'so enlisted,or taken*
into the service of the United States, their tribes,
the length ol time for which they are engaged
and the amount ot pay promised ; and that tho
Secretary also report the number of troops of all
classes engaged, and called into service for the
purpose of preventing tho war in Florida, at tho
present time.
Tho motion for the appointment of the Stand
ing Comm: llees of the House was postponed till
to morrow. Adjourned.
In the Senate, Mr. Grundy of Tcnn. introdu
ced a bill to provide for the greater security of
passengers and others conveyed in vessels pro.
pellcd in whole or in part hy steam ; which was
toad twice and referred to a select committee
Mr. Walker of Miss, gave notice of his inten
tion to introduce a Bill for granting pre-emptions,
and graduating the price of the public lands.
f This you perceive, the bid for popularity in the
new slates, made by the Executive, is already
urged by his partisans. The true Representa
tives of the old states will consider how far the
recommendations of the President would be bene
ficial to the country at largo, and consistent with
the light of their constituents. I regard Mr.
Walkers’ Bill as equally pernicious to the
Western People, (in an enlarged view of their
interests) and as a violent invasion of the rights
of the old States
After soma conversation it was agreed to, that
the Vice President should appoint the Standing
Committee. They will be announced to-morrow.
The Senate then adjourned. Mi

Projbgt for a Unitem States Bank.
Mr. Editor —l am not aware that the project
herein suggested, for a Bank, Iras ever boeti
presented to the public. But as it appears to
me to possess features that ought to be highly
acceptable to the whole of our community
who are ‘opposed to a Bank on the terms,
I herewith give it briefly. The capital to be
subscribed by three parties —the Government,
—the States, —and the People. Each to be
represented at the Board of Directors. No
Branch to be located in any State that may
define to be a share holder, unless by con
sent.
An Institution upon such a basis would
meet not only the approbation of all parties
concerned, but form a link that would estab
lish a currency as acceptable to the commu
nity, as it would bid defiance to Government
assaults or Party or Bank Intrigue.
From the Baltimore Chronicle.
THE BANK CONVENTION ADJOURNED
The Conventions adjourned on Saturday, to
meet again m the City of New York, on the so- j
cond Wednesday in April. We learn from the
Philadslplm U. S. Gazette, that there was an at.
tempt to fix upon the first dav of March, 1838,
to resume specie payments. Only three Stales
voted for that day, New York, Ohio and North
Carolina ; but it was doubled even whether the
desire of those Stales was exactly represented by
lire votes given.
Tito Resolution to adjourn to tho second
Wednesday in .dpril, and then to assemble and
consult upon a proper time to resume specie
payments, was unanimously curried.
W* subjoin a copy of lire resolutions adapted
by the Convention.
Resolved, That tho Convention ante ruins a
jeep anxiety and a firm determination to accom
plish the te.umpncn of specie payments at the
earliest period when it Clay he permanently prac
ticable.
llesolved, That in the opinion of the Conven
tion, the present circumstances of the country are
not such as to make it expedient or prudent now
to fix a day for the resumption of specie pay
ments ; and that when the Convention termi
nated its present session, it shall be adjourned to
meet in lire City ofNew York on the SECOND
WEDNESDAY IN APRIL NEXT, for their
considering and practicably determm.ng the day
for resuming specie payments.
llesolved, That tills Convention strongly rc.
commend to all the Banks in the United Stales,
to continue by piopcr means to prepare them
selves for a return to specie payments within the
shortest practicable period after tho meeting oi
the next Convention.
Resolved, That tho Banks in those State,
which arc not now represented, be earnestly re
quested to send delegates to the adjourned meet
ing of the Convention, and that the several dele
gates from all tho states be desired to procure all
such information in regard to the condition of the
banks of their respective Stales, as may be attaina
ble.
The unanimous decision ol the Bank Con
vention that it is inexpedient, at this time,
to fix a day for tlie resumption of specie
payments will be learned with great satisfac
tion by our readers. It was at first fear'ed,
that the majority in the Convention, actuated
by a laudable but improvident spirit, might
determine to designate on early day for the
resumption—a circumstance which could not
fail to bring a vast amount ot inconvenience
and even of suffering upon the commercial
world. It is possible that, during the ses.
sion of Congress, something may he done
that will facilitate the resumplio i of specie
payments, oven at an earlier dale than that
which was first proposed by llie comm,Bee of
the convention. But as nil this was uncer
tain, and it was impossible that the cunven
lion could foresee the course of things, the
course they have taken was obviously the w.-
scst. Tc have designated a day, and, when
it come round, lo have been obliged to name
a more distant day, would have led to a ca
tastrophe ten times more serious than the ori
ginal act ofjsuspension. Still greater would
he ihe calamity if alter resuming specie pay
ments, in tho face of a high rate of exchange
and other adverse circumstances, the Banks
should be jjcompelled, a second lime, lo close
their vaults to save themselves from absolute
ruin. Such a result as this would tumble not
only the whole banking fabric, so lo speak, in
ruins, but would carry desolation and distress
into every department of business throughout
the country. We repeat, therefore, that the
postponement of a final decision,by the con
■ vention was wise and judicious, and, we are
sure, will bo justified by all reflecting persons,
: However faction may attempt to pervert it,
or party clamour to denounce those who had
the firmness to resolve upon it, wo do not
doubt in the least, thatlfie necessity of,such,
a deierminalion will be acquiesced in by
considerate men as all parties. — Ball. Chron.

THE PITCHER PLANT.
The plant which most attracted our atten
tion at the last exhibition of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society was the Nepenthes dis
lillatoriu, or Pitcher plant, raised from I lie
seed hy Mr. Bnist, and the only one, wo be
lieve, ever exhibited in America. Tho plant
was then young, and the pitchers small, but
they continue lo grow, and are now it fourth
as large as a tumbler; they will probably con
tinue to increase until each would Contain a
pint of water; the eye is much pleased by the
novelty of seeing such a contrivance suspen
ded at the end of each leaf; we can liken it
to nothing so well us to our grandfathers’ sil
ver tankards with their massy lids. The
following popular account will interest those
who have paid any attention to plants:—
The Nepenthes dislillatoria, or Pitcher
plant, abounds in those stony and arid pans
of Java, from which small birds and quadru
peds must migrate in search ot water, were it
not for this vegetable production. The tra
veller who passes through those sultry regions
is frequently attracted by its singular appear
ance, and by the number ol birds that fly in
and olit among the branches. On drawing
near, he observes a small bag, shaped like a
pitcher, at the foot stalk ot each leaf, furnish
ed with a neatly fitted fid, and having a kind
ofhinoe that passes over the handle of the
pitcher, aud connects it with the leaf. This
hinge is a strong fibre, which contracts in
skdwery weather, aud when the dew fa Is.
Numerous little goblets, filled with sweet
fresh water, are thus held forth, and att’onl
a delightful draught lo such email animals as
climb the branches, and to a variety ol
winged creatures. They hear the pattering
of tire heavy rains drops on the dry leaves,
while sheltered in their hiding-places; and
when the rain is sufficiently abated, forth
they come, and refresh themselves in every
open cup. It is delightful to see them thus
employed, and the pitcher plant is sometimes
almost covered with these thirsty creatures ;
some drinking eagerly, others lilting up their
little hills between each sp, as if grateful
for the refreshing draught. But no sooner
lias the cloud passed by, and the warm suit
shown forth, than the healed fibre begins to
expant], and closes the goblet so firmly, as
even to prevent evaporation. This is a bean
tiful and prospective contrivance. The
quadruped, bird, or insect, has had sufficient
time lo quench its thirst, for the heavens do
not immediately become clear; and when
the goblet is filled with dew, some lime must
necessarily elapse before the warmth of the
sun is felt. .But the plant also requires re
freshmeut; rain.drops soon trickle from the
•rid place in which it grows, and the nightly
dews are insufficient to refresh the sloping
side of its assigned locality. The pitchers,
therefore, are essential to its preservation,
and a sufficient quantity of fluid is preserved
by the gradual contraction ot the lid. As
long, too, as the lid stands open, the slender
bill, the proboscis, or the tongue, can be
readily thrust in, but as it gradually com
tracts, this is of course precluded ; out then
lest any poor thirsty creature should arrive*
late, or remain unsatisfied in tiie crowd
such pitchers ns are covered with leaves re
main much longer open, and it is probable
that some never close at ail. We also re
mark, that neither one, not two, nor even
ten large pitchers are assigned to each plant
but "that every leaf-stalk has its own*
Hence every leaf receives a necessary sup.
ply of moisture through lubes that corftmu
nicaie like syphons, with its absorbing ves
sels. I scarcely know a single instance In
which a wonderful adaptation ot oiw part to
another, of one vegetable lo tiro animals that
surround it, is more clearly evinced than m
this unassuming plant. ■
Now, if the leaves were broad like those
of the common chestnut, or tho coltsfoot,
neither rain nor dew could reach tho pitch
ers: but instead of this, they slope upwards;
therefore, when the lid is open, the pitcher
soon fills, and lo its brimming goblet innu
merable winged creatures eagerly resort. The
insect hnsu long proboscis, with which to sip
up the moisture; tho bird introduces Hs nar
row bill; but if the insect or bird had instead
as these, mouths constructed liko a fish, and
those peculiar longues which distinguish
aquatic riaiorufl, considerable difficulty would
artNe,and the pitcher bn often broken in the
i endeavor to procure s sip* Wo may also
fairly assume that the little quadruped* which
resort thither arc fdrnishcd long and
slender member, which permits -tbem to lap*
the water, through comparativejy a narrow
aperture. «« the clawWtThrds enable
litem tu retain a firm hold oiibr,niches, when
eveu rudely shaken by the wind, attd the feet
of insects are so formed as to grasp the
smoothest stems, many little animals have
hkewise feet well adadpted lor climbing. The
field mouse, for instance, which can runup
a slack of corn, and all swift moving quadru
peds, are thus constructed. Tho digging foot
which is assigned to the mole, or one resem
bling a horse’s hoof, would bo useless in ascen
ding slippery places. The pitcher .. t each
leaf has also a twofold purpose; it refreshes
the parent plant, and holds forth an open
goblet to many thirdly, waylaring creature.
A few would not suffice either to the plant
or its visiters, na 1 before observed, and there
fo.e, every leaf is similarly provided; nor is
it less worthy of remark, that if the fibrous,
hinge contracted on'y in heavy rain, such
birds, end quadruptds, and insects, as fly or
walk by night, would not be able lo quench
their thirst;:but dew equally affects it,therefore
it is for them Mso that ihe|nighilyigublel|isthus
bountifully replenished. Mid how mulf'ar.ous
are its uses, whether filled by rain or dews!
Without the moisture jvlnch 'it thus retain
the bealiful green colour that adorfis Ifie plant
Would tade, the flower could not open, the
seeds cottld not riped; such creatures as sub
gist ontlfe sWeet nectariuus jusices of its open
flowers would lose their rlally banquet, and
quadrupeds must drag on a miserable exis
tence, if, indeed, they conl.l exisl lit all.
Con. Itidea.
It wi 1 be i eon, by rcfmr.ng to the report of
the Uonnnis loner of Indian AlFurs, that tho
most sanguine expectations of the friends and
promoters of this system have been realized.
Thu Choctaws, Ch’erokeas, uml other tribes
that fi st emigrated beyond the Mississippi
have, for the most part, abandoned the hun
ter state, and become cultivators of the soil.
Tho improvement in their condition has been ra
pid, ami it is believed that they arcuow fitted to
enjoy the advantages of a simple form of govern*
ment. which has been submitted to thorn and re
ceived their sanction; and I cannot too strongly
urge this subject upon the attention of Congress.
Stipulations have been made widt all the Indian
tribes to remove them beyond the Mi-sissippi, ex
cept with tho band oflbu Wy.tnd ills, tho Six
Nations in New York, tho Mcnumonees, Man*-
duns ami StockbriJges i t Wisconsin, and Mia*
mies in Indiana. With all but the Menornonees,
it is expecleJ that arrangements for their emigra
tion Will’be completed the present year. The re
sistance which has been opposed to their removal
by some of tho tribes, even after treaties bad been
made with them to that effect, has .-arisen from
various causes, operating differently’"oh each of
them. In most iustancos tftey have been instiga
ted to resistance by persons to whom tho trade
with them and the acquisition of their annuities
1 were important; tnd m some hy tho personal in
fluence of interested Chiefs. These obstacles
must bo overcome; for tbo Government cat not
relinquish the execution of this policy without sa
crificing important interests, and abandoning tbo
tribes remaining cast of the Mississippi to certain
destruction.
The decrease in numbers of tho tribes with
in the limits of the Stales ami Territories has
been most rapid. If they be removed, they
can bo protected from those associations aud
evil practices which exert so pcruicous slid
destructive an influence over their destinies..
They can he induced to,labor, and to acquire
property; and its inquisition will inspire them
with a feeling of independence. Tltvir minds
can bo cultivated, ami they can bs taught the
value of salutary and uniform laws, uml be
made sensible ut the blessings of free govern
ment, and capable of enjoying its advantages,
In the possession of property, knowledge,
' and a good Government, free to give what
direction they please lo their labor, and
sharers in tho legislation by which their per
sons ohd lire profi’s of their industry arc lo he
protected ami secured, they will have an ever
present conviction of the importance of union
& peace among themselves, and of the pres
ervation ofaimcnbla relations with us. The
interest* oftho United States would also bo
greatly promoted by freeing the relations be
tween the General and State Governments
from what lias proved a most embarrassing
incilmbrancc, by m satisfactory adjustment of
conflicting titles to lauds, caused by tire occu
pation of tiie| Indians, and by causing tke
resources of the whole count.y to be develop
ed hy the power of the Stale and General
Governments,and improved by tho enterprise
of a White popu at on
intimately connected with tbi- subject is tbo ob
ligation of lire Government lo fulfil its treaty stipu
lations, and lo protect tho Indians thus assembled
“at their now residences from all interruptions and
disturbances from any other tribes or nations of In
dians, or from any other person or persons whatso
ever," imil tho equally solemn obligation .o guard
from Indian hostility its own bottler settlements,
stretching along a line of more than one thousand
miles. To enable the oGvcrnment lo redeem this
pledge to tho Indians, and lo alluril adequate pro
tection to its own citizens, will require tho continu
al presence of n considerable regular force on the
frontiers, and the establishment ol a chain of perma
nent puda. Examinations of tho country ore now
making; with a view to decide on the must suitable
points liirthu erection of forlreeires and other works
ol defence, the results of which will be presented
to you by tbo Secretary of War atari early day, to
gether with a plan for the effectual protection of the
friendly Indians, and the permanent defence ol the
frontier Slater.
By the report of tho ‘Secretary of the Navy, here
with communicated, it appears that uoremitted exer
tions have been made ut the different navy yards
to carry into effect all authorized measures for the
extension and employment ot our naval force. The
launching and preparation of the ship of the lino
f’ennsylvaiiiu, and the complete repairs oftho ships
of the line Übfe-, Dataware, and bulumbus, may he
noticed, ns forming a respectable addition toj this
important arm of our nalimal defence. Our com
merce and navigation have received increased aid
and protection during the present year Our squad
rons in the i'aeilic and on tho Brazilian station
have been much increased, and that in the Meddler
ranean, although small, is adequate to the present
wants of our commerce in that sea. Additions
have been made to our squadron on the West India
station, where the large force under '/oniinodore
Dallas ha- been most actively and efficiently em
ployed in protecting our commerce, in preventing
the importation of staves, and in eo-o,.crating whh
officers oftho Army in carrying on the war in Flo
tilla. „ ,
The satisfactory condition of our naval force
abroad, leaves at our disposal tho means of conven
iently providing tor a borne squadron, lor the pro
tection of commerce upon our extensive coast. Tito
amount of appropriations required fur such a squad
ron will be touricl in the general estimates for the
naval service lor tho year IB3S.
The naval officers engaged upon our coast sur
vey have rendered important service to our naviga
tion. The discovery of a new channel into the
harbor ol A’ew York, through which our largest
ships may pass without danger, must afford impor
tant commercial advantage* lo that harbor, and raid
greatly lo its value as a naval stuiert The aeoit
rute survey of George’s shoals oil the coast of Mas
sachusetts, lately completed, will rentier compara
tively suie a navigation hitherto considered danger
ous.
ConsideraMo additions have been made lo lire
number ofcaptems, commanders, lieutenants, tsur
geonir, and assistant surgeons, in thu Navy. 7’ltese
additions were rendered nccisarary, hy the increas
ed number of vr sards pal in commission, to auswtr

F«r inany interesting details 1 refer you to the re
port of"he i'oslinasier General, with the neeompa
nying paper. Your particular attention is invited
lo lire necessity of providing a more sate ami con
venient building fur lire accommodation of that
Department.
I lay before Congress copies of reports submitted
inpit&unice of a call made by fna upon I lie heads
of Departments, for snch suggestions as their experi
ence might enable lliein to make, as to what further
legislative provisions may be advantageously adop
ted to secure the faithful application ul public mo
neys lo Ilie objects for which they sre appropriated;
to prevent it'.oir misapplication or embezzlement by
those entrusted with (he expenditure of ti cm; and
generally to increase the security oflhu government
against losses in their disbursement. It is needless
to dilate o.i the importance of providing such new
safeguards ns are within the power of legislation to
promote these ends; and I have (little tu ut d to the
re; tiinfoendaliuns submitted in the i.ccunipanying
papers.
By law the term of service of our mn»t impor
tant collecting and disbursing officers in tho civil
dopartaionls are limited lo lour years, and when
reappointed, I heir bunds arercqoiroit lo ho renew
ed. The solely of the public is much increased hy
this feature of the law, nnd there can bo no doubt
that its application lo nil officers entrusted with the
collection of disbursement of tho public money,
vvliatovoi nuy bo the tenure of their 011 l ics, would
bu equally beneficial. 1 therefore recommend, in
addition lo such of the suggestions presented by the
bends of Depot trncnls ns yen may think useful, a
general provision, that all officers of tho Army or
Navy,or in the Civil Department, entrusted with
llic re eipt or payment of public money, and whose
torn! of service is either unlimited or lirr a longer
time than four years, bo required to give bonds, with
good and sufficient securities, at tl.e expiration of
every such period.
A change in the period n( terminating the fiscal
year,from tho first of October to the first of April,
has boon frequently recommended, and appears to
be desirable.
Tho distressing casualties in steamboats, which
have so frequently happened during tho year; seem
lo evince tire necessity of attempting iu prevent
them, hy moans of Severn provisions connected
with their custom house papers. This subject was
submitted to the attention ot Congress hy the -Sec
retary of tho Treasury in his list unreal report, ami
will he again noticed at the present se.siori, with
additional rlolnils. It will doohlfess receive that
early end careful consideration which its pressing
importance appears to require.
Four attention has heretofore been frequently
called to (lie affairs of ill" District es Ciilnniliia,aod
I should not again ask it, del not their emir* depen
deuce on Congress give them a constant claim upon
its notice. Separated hy tho Constitution bum the
rest ol the Union, limited in extent, ami aid- d by no
Legislature of its own, it would seem lo baa * pul
where a Wise anil unilurm system of locul govern
ment might lent* Ins n easily adopted, Idris Dis
trict, however, unfortunately, bar been left to Ui gur
behind tbo nut of the Union; ns codes, civil and
criminal, are nut only very defective, hul full of
ohsolc o or inconvenient provisions; being funned
of portions ot two Slates, discrepancies in tho laws
prevail in different parts of the territory, small as
u is; and although it was selected as the s.ar of the
General Government, the site of its public edifices,
the daprlstiory of its midlives, and the residence 0 1
officers entrusted with largo nmo .tils of public
properly, and tho management of public business,
yet it lias never been subjected to, or received, ill fit
snccitl and comprehensive legislation which these
'circumstances peculiarly demand. Jam well awnic
of the various subjects of greater magnitude and
immediate interest that press themselves on the con
a doration ol Congress ; but 1 believe there i* not
one that appeals more directly to its justice, than u
liberal, and even generous, Attention to the inter

IN tl»< Augusta Chronic!* and Sanl'mel «f th
Gill inst, Kiahld) J. Culinun has tbs tlJrenUry
lu address the public in vindication us an act
committed hy him, which is regarded by the UW* ••
his countiy u> Jicft, by instituting charge*
against mu iirclevant to the matlet in dispute,
and wholly untrue in fact. I will briefly detail
the fuel* a* they occurred, and leave the pebli*
to draw their ow n inference.
An agreement tvn* entered into between
Simeon U Cannon and myself, for the keeping
of two horse's and flic h aiding of two drivers,
at Ihirly ait dollar* per month. At the tin* tU<>
difficulties (alluded to in his address) occu ed *i
Ihe line, I was indebted id Simeon R. I'a Bit i
for four month* stabling and board, iu the auw,
of otic hundred and forty lout dollars, and w»*t«
to him to lake tare of the horses until my arrival;
when I would pay him hi* demand. liul ReddeH
j. Cannon, regardless of these assurance to hi*
lather, and without lijiy anlhotiiy from any pit til
empowered 10 dispose us ihe property, logethef
with the driver Wilson, took dm two horaes stand
ing at hi* fathers, and two kept at Minor's, th*
four valued at five hundred and fifty dollars, cm
ried them through the luWet iatttuf South Caro
lina offering them for sale, arid actually did sell
them, falsely averingi that ha had purchased rhrai
from a North Carolina Wagoner. Now, was U
n <t mi unwarrantable, dishonest act, thus to lak*
propoily aucrcllv and at night convey it to a dis
tance, ami, under an assumed Bciiiious .nartiS’,
represent it as hi* own, dispose ol it as such, and
appropriate the proceeds to his own use 1 Ify
what oilier "lid more appropriate name shall J
designate it, than hy that of theft! which, it I an>-
rightly informed, is the felonious taking and car
rying away (lie personal goods of another. Th*
taking and eairying invsy he admi s, and th*
secret manner in which it was done, his assuming
a lic.itioc.n kamc together with other circumstan
ce* 11 x the felonious intent upon him. If h* had
demands against the, why did he not appeal to
lire laws of the count* y which have doubtlessly
lolly provided for such ea. c.* ! The legal
of a'li.ielimeni was open to him; why did he rut
avail himself id it 1 Tlie rc.isin is evident. ll*
thought, that amidst the general scramble for lit*
property of Mr. iiongslru I, he could with itsipt}*
inly, under the plea of securing a debt, ategl «W»}r
my pr.iperly, dispose of it, poekal the prooemls,
and being an irresponsible person in point «f pe
cuniary liibhhly, sot me at defiance.
Wilson, Iho driver, fir whom this honest gen
i.leinan puts up so doleful a laineniiitiuri, is third
oflho same feather. He Inn! defrauded IB* of
m nc than sixty hollars, and being detected, l<*
quiet the nutter, gavu me hi» a nnnikudy llotitd
lor ihe amount thus dishonest./ sppropislrd l*y
hint, which I now hold. 'J v ue statement that I
U fi the i ity of Augusta secredy, to avoid th* ap
plicationa of crc.hlors, and Gist 1 conceslad my
self in the stage couch at stopping plan • for * like
purport, is a base and wanton fabrication. I lei
Angus a in the public mail roach, in lb* open

falsehoods are no doubt,derived from the voji at!*
honc*t Mr. Wilson, the friend and accomplice in
his villainy, lu whoso assort uns, from th* infinity
of hi* chuiacter, no credit is to lie given.
Ho furtlior say*,that -.hero was no alterni liv*
