SPEECH OF MR. BOND, OF OHIO. PRECEPT AND PRACTICE. In tlio division of Mr. Bond's Speech, this day presented to our readers, there are sundry instructive and amusing contrasts of Precept and Practice. The promulgations of the wholesale reform doctrines, embodied in the retrenchment reports of 1826, are exhibited in office, and their practice is explained by reference to various facts. The despatch in making removals, as per order, is illustrated in a case of early occurrence under the reform Administration, in which Mr. Secretary of Stale, Van Buren, was the actor. Several strong cases of Foreign Ministers are stated, as also of Diplomatic Agents. The State Department figures largely, and the Attorney General's office comes in for a little exposition. This portion of Mr. Bond's speech is one of the most valuable of the broken doses which has been administered in our columns. We will now look to the Post Office Department. The General Post Office, as it was then celled, hod the good fortune not only to eocnpe the censure, but to enlist tho praise, of that fault-finding era. I leave it for those who were familiar with the motives and political curronte of that day, to account for this. The committee said of it "The efficiency of this branch of the public service is in a condition highly improved and improving." My first remark on this, is that the PostOffice Department passed into Ihe hands of General Jackson in a healthy and efficient state. A few years, under his reform, reduced it to chaos and insolvency. Thedotails of its mismanagement have been long since proved. The evidence is on file here and in the Senato, with the roports of the several committees appointed to investigate its abuses. I refer gentlemen to the files, and will not dwell on the various obuses which wero designated snd established. Their enormity, coupled with the fact of the borrowing money on public account by the Postmaster General! without law or authority, alarmed the country. But bad as all this was, snd used, as Ihe pecuniary patronage had been, to confer personal benefits on favorites, until the disorder snd insolvency of the Department became apparent, still the political uses which had beenmadeof the sppointing patronage were not disclosed, and now never will bo. The present Postmsster General, Amos Kendall, tells us in his account of the late destruction of that Department by fire, that all Ihe books, papers, and files of the Depsrtmenl were saved, except ih"files" of the "appsimment office," and that these were destroyed ! In the first six yearsof GoneralJockson's Administration, about 1300 postmsstcrs were removed from office, and, in most of the cases, without the sssignmcnt of any cause. When certain mombera of the coinmilteesof the Senile snd Huuse, appointed, in 1833-M, lo invesli-gats the sbuses of that Department, attompted to get at the files and correspondence of this "Appointment Office," with a viow to ascertain snd report whether the reasons for these removals wore prompted by high and juil public considerations, or by more party political expediency, Ihey were denied the right by the neadof the Department and by the friends of the Adininistrslion, who composed e majority on oneof these committees 1 Wss not this inquiry just? I refer yon, sir, to Mr, Ben ton'e famous report snd bill providing for the disclosure of reasons in eosa of removal from, otfico. I refer you. Mr. (speaker, to your own rcmarse, ortu to ilium, friends, in ths debate on Mr. Sounder's resolution, which 1 have slresily quoted. But, sbove all, I refer you to Ihe remsrks of tho illustrious Mudison, unrivalled as he was in ihe knowledge of the letter aud spirit of our !'nn.nnitinn and lews, and in nurity and honesty of pur- nose. As esrly ss 1789 in the meinorablo debate on the nuI.r nf ih Cincniive to remove from office, he not on fy denied the right lo exercise this power capriciously, snd without sssigning sdequste reasons, but he thought it would be such a bold assumption of lawless power, ihst he thus expressed himself: H own it is sn sbuse of power which exceeds my imagination, snd of which I form nn rational conccntion." But when Mr. Vsn Buren and Mr. Benton (both of whom were on the commutes which reported ine Dill to prevent the sbussofthis pstronsge of eppointment) csms into power, this chnnged their tone, if nol their principles. Removals from office immcdisiely followed, and ihey deny any obligation to assign reasons! Is it not sirsnge, too,nsv, isil not mystorious, Ihst, in the ronflnomuon of the Post Ulticc, Ihe only pspers and files destroyed should be those relating to the exercise, if not the sbuse, of ihs power of removal from office the very popere which Ihs rosimssier uenorai rciusea to suffer tne Committees of Investigation to ezsmine t I md Mr. Vsn Buren clisnircd his lone onthissubjcct I will at once prove il.

And, so far from being willing to reduce the number of clerks in his Department, ss ihe Peopls wero Induced to believe would be done, Mr. Vsn Huren, when cslled n for thst purpose, ssw the whole sffair through a new medium, and replied! "My opinion is, lhal there csn he no reduction in the number nf officers employed in ihe Depsrlmenl (of Sine.) without detriment to ihe public interest!!" And yet the Retrenchment Commitioe, when Mr. Clsy waa in that Department, reported "lhal Ihey felt satisfied thil, had ihe officer at its hesd concurred wilh them in the opinion, ihoy might hive presented a plan for not only a gradual reduction of the number of clerks, but for an actual incroase in the efficiency of their labors." But oiher discrepsncivs between Ihe profession and practice of thess roforiners remain to be noticed. It will be found thst ths report of Ihe gentleman from N. York, (Mr. Csmbrcleng.) snd his friends, condemned "Ihe practice introduced by the Secretaries of tho Departments, of sending lbs reports of their clerks or hosds oi' bureaus, instead of condensing them, snd making them substantially llieir own communication." Thia rraciice, if bid, boo nover been corrected, but is dsily ndulgrd in by sll Ihe Departments, as ihs snswers to ths calls and resolutions of ihis House abundantly show. But s slill more remnrkibleeomtnenlery follows. When the Depsrlmenl of War piaaed into the hands of John H. Eaton, a sralous roloriner, ho, too, waa called upon lo carry out his retrenchment system, snd reduce Ihe number of hie clerks, in fultilmonl of lbs public expectation, which he and others hnd excited. To lbs surprise of ill, he referred ths subject to the clerks them-wives! and here, sir, is his reply i "W Dkpaxtmint, Jan. S7, 1830.

Let us see Ihe practice.

The commit tee thought the inodo of "appointing and compensating bearers of despatches liable to strong objections, prone to degenerate into a species ot favoritism little short ofa convenient mode of sending favorites abroad to travel for their pleasure, hoallh, or instruction, out of the public coffers." Practice Tho President and his Secretary of Slato, both Juckson-reformors. now lake a favorite clerk of the State Department, whoso salary at the time waa at the rate ot $l7tu per year, send nun as Dearer oi acspaicnes to Moxico, and for about three months' service, pay him 1212 dollars 88 cents, and aufler him also lo draw bis clork's salsry for the period of his absence! For this 1 refer you to the case of Rob't Greenhow, who is the translating clerk of that Department; all the facie of tho case being stated in the reports of the Secretary. Ho excuses this transaction by saying that tho transla-tiona which wero required during Mr. Grecnhow's ab-aonce were made at hie expense. It might be well to in-quiro whether any translations were required during that period, and why also it would not have been quito aa well to discontinue the salary for the time, and let the Government pay for any translation which were needed. But do wo not here distinctly realize what the re trenchment report condemned in these words: "that an actual incumbent ia considered to havo such a aort of proporty in the office aa to enable him to farm out its dunes, and to receive a part of iia revenues for doing nothingl" Another illustration ot this "convenient mode ot send ing favoritea abroad," "out of the public coffers," is found in the same list of contingent expenses of foreign intercourse. 1 allude to Ihecaae of Mr. Cherlcs Biddle, who, when nominated .by Gen. Jackson for a judecahip in Florida, was rejected by the Senate. After this rejection Mr. Biddle wn. despatched by the Executive to Central AmericaandNew Grenada. What service he rendered, we know nott but it sppears that tor this mission an allowance ol 9i,ixz Vj hae Deen made. Mr. Charles Biddle is the same gentleman who had a controversy with Mr. Senator Grundy, in which the dovotion of the latter to Gen. Jackson wss question ed. Wo loam by one of the printed documents, occa- ioned by that dispute, that the Senator, fur the purpose of proving himself to be what is called a "whole hog Jackson-man," said he "hadawsllowedthehog not only hole, but wrongendluremost, taking Ihe bristlus against the grain; and had gone for all Gen.

He, of courae, received the ususl salary and outfit; and I am at loss lo know what contingent expenses, incurred by him, could justly be charged to ihe United Stoles. There appears, also, lohave been paid lo John R.Clay, in 183tl, 3.3UI 41, aa "compenssiion fur certain diplomatic aervices."

It will slso be found thai, in the dayaof this "sesreh-ing operation" and "reform," the standing committees ol tin. House on Ihe expenditures of ihe several depart-menis mended to their vocation. Bui, very soon allot General Jackson csma into power, these ooinmilleos became so much a matter of mere form that the chair man of one of them declarod here, during the lost Cun-grees, he had never even thought it worth Ins while lo convene In. committee, and he appeared quileaurprised. or at all events amused, that any inquiry was expected to be made in regard lo (he expenses of these departments 1 1 This slate of things form, a strong commit with the report mode here in April, IU-28, by Mr. Blair, of Tennes.ee, chsirmsn of the Committee on Public Accounts and Eipenditures in the Stele Department.

A librarian em ployed, si a aalary of 9 1,540, equal to that paid to the librarian of the groat public library of Congress. All this too, sir, under tho auspices of ucnilomeii who said lhal this part of the expenses of that Department was censurable, snd ought lo bo dispensed with, as all tho utlicora of the Government could well avail themselves of the publie library at the Cupilol. But, Mr. Sneaker, the times chenged, and Mr, Van Huron and Mr. Forsyth changed with insm. The Slate Department is now Isid off inio grand divisions. When Mr. Clay hid chargoof it, the IIUio uook exhibited a lislot a doscn names, sll under lbs beau of clerks. One of these scled aa trails- lator for tho Department, and his salsry wss (1,150; mother paid out the fund., and wss charged wilh ihs contingent expense sccouuia, and he received (1,150 a year.

If the Turk, whose tellers ore found in Salmagundi, had seen Ihis display of "Bureaus" in tho Slate Department, ho would have been hotter justified ia his admiration at "the grand and niag-nificont scale on which these Americans transact llieir business." But I have yet lo add, that those who questioned Ihe right of the Slate Department to purchase a prim of the immortal Washington hove used the money of tho People to buy prims of Ben. Jackson, and now of Martin Von Buren, for almost every room in each of Ihe Deportments!! Mr. Speaker, during Ihis "searching operation" and captioue fault-finding, every petty expense of the several Departments was looked upon with open censure. I well remember that an item of some few dollars, paid a' laborer for destroying the grass which was growing between the bricks of the paved walk leading to tho State Department, was hold up to public view ass piece of aristocratic extravagance. Now, sir, suppose I were to cite to you many similar and equally (if not moro) objectionable charges in the present accounts of these Departments such aacesh paid for clearing Ihe snow off tho pavement, so that Mr. Forsyth need not wet his feet; "(90o quortor for labor," "(54 for sundries," "(10 for work," without staling what labor or work. It might havo been for killing grasf, or raising vegetables for the Secretary. The term "sundries" may conceal the some things, and thecuriousmightinquirewhat use was made of the fire-proof paint for which (78 were paid by the Secretary of Slate, But the monoy is well laid out, if it will preserve tho edifice! And it is to be regretted that the Secretary of the Treasury and Ihe Postmaster General had not made similar puichoscs in time tosavo their respective buildings. Penknives and scissors, by ,h 4o.n and half duznn, arepurchased for the Secretary of State, whoalwoyspsys aclerk to go to Baltimore to collect a draft. An item of f 100 paid by Ihe Secretary of the Treasury for the transportation of money; bin how much money, or from wlionco, or where transported, we know not. This last charge is a kind of foretaste of the hard-money sub-Tressury system, by which, instead of transmitting the funds of the Government by means of the cheap, safe, and rapid system of exchange, prevalent before the banks wore "debauched" by Mr. Kendall, the public money is now lo be wagoned over Ihe country at great expense and hazard, and always with delay. The late eminent and virtuous Altornoy-Gencral William Win, did notescapotho censure of Ihese indefatigable reformers. He had rendered some professional service, in which the United Slates were interested, but which were not such as his official station charged upon him. For this service an inconsiderable sum was paid to him, but its propriety was questioned. The salary of tho Attornoy-Goneral was then (3,500, and he was allowed (800 fura clerk. How stands tho cusc now I The salary of Mr. Benjamin F. Holler, ihe present Attorney-General is, f4,000, and in 1834 he was paid (4,150 19 for compensation, besides being allowed l,300 for a clerk and messenger, and (500 for the contingent expenses of his office. The same additional allowance and charge, amounting together to (1,800, is made in 1835. Independent of the increased salary and the enlarged provision for a mcsscngor, whence conies Mr. Butler's right to charge sn excess of (150 19 for compensation, bcsidos(500 for comingent expenses! In the year 1838 we heard nothing of comingent expenses, but a provision of f 1,407 is made for bta clerk and messonger, snd for Mr. Butler's compenssiion that yenrhe received (4,332, when his salsry was only $4,000. Why was this excess of (332 paid to him! He appears to have been used as a sort of Caleb Quofem. Ho has been allowed to enjoy the salary of his own office and that of the Secretary of War at one and the same time, being st Ihe rale of (10,000 per year, pursuing loo his profession, and roceiving its emoluments. No wonder we see in him "the complying lew officer of the crown." When did he ever give an opinion contrary to iho wish of the President, if he know what thst wss! Let me give sn illustration. As tho story is told, when the Baltimore railroad was a-bout to be located at its termination in this city, the company consulted Mr. Butler on some point ss to ihis right of way, under their charier. After lull dcliberaiion,hia professional opinion was obtsined in writing. It hsp- Fiencd that General Jackson felt some concern about the ocalion of Ihis right of way, and ho expressed on opinion on the same point, requiring a termination of the road, which the company did not wish, and which Mr. Buitor had adviicd Ihem thoy need not adopt. General Jackson waa furnished with the opinion of the Attorney General; but, instead of yielding, be endorsed on it."Mr. Butler haa nut examined this with his usual care; let thia paper be referred bock to him, with a copy of the charier, for his reexamination." In due timo, sir, ihe V bpTMhrl lfl"Sri.Jimy" Ao' ,m WmtriYrtn.-JI'caSbn had expressed! Alter tnis, mr. spoaaer, we need not be surprised at the absurd opinion ol Air. uuiler, given ssa toundaiion or justification for Gen. Jackson to pocket the bill repealing the Treasury circular, and which had passed both Housosof Congress slmost by acclsminaiion. Nor, indeed, ahould we be astonished st any opinion of his, unless ne should hsve Happened to give one ditlerent Irom what be supposed me rrosiuent wonted. THE CONCLUSION.

Mr. Bond cannot but feel himself much complimented by Ihe impotent raging of the presses that do the bidding of Amos Kendall kjo. ne wno ocaia out cusugauon can ouiy bsk inai it may be effective.

As to Mr. Barry, no mstler "what events" made him Postmsster Genera), we know that undor his management that department was deranged and rondorcd in solvent. But now for tins "humble Auditor," or, as from his own question, he is somotimes csilcd,j "this Hoaven-burn" Amos. If history dues him justice, il will be found thst he desired oltice under Air. Uay, winch it not being in the uowcrof tho loiter to provide, Mr. Kendall einou- sed the cause of Gen. Jackson.

He was fright ened al apile of 18 newspapors, but ho can now tnko20 at a dusel Can it bo possible that a man, who came into office declaring, like iho Phurisee of old, ihst "lie was not like other men," and would even "tithe mint, and cummin," begins slready to "noglect the weightier mai- lera of Hie law!" What becomes ot his inflated prumiso "to prove" that his "declaration had nut been hollow pretence." Of what value was his declaration, made in his letter beforo roferrcd to, and in which he says, "Vain I may be, proud 1 am, thut Iho President hasgiv- on me an opportunity to aid him in pioving that reform is not an empty sound, and ia not lo apply merely to a change of men!" Why air, I quote a. a reply to these questions his own words, in snothsr passage of his own letter: "the world will know mm at last, and assign him bis true rank." "Truth is omnipotent, and public justice certain." Among Air. Kendall's reiorms msy be monuoneu nis leading agency in ths removal of the public dcpo.itcs from tho bauk of the United Stales, locuect this, he carried on a systsin of ikbilling and cooing" with the State banks, snd, in the language ofa certain Senator, (Mr. Denton,) "debauched them." "Yes, sir, debauch is Ihe word." 1 spply it to ths oovernnieut and banks, though the Senator thought the People had been bebau- ched, and applied it lo ihem. For ihis work of "debauch," which proved so sorious a curse 10 tne country, in is a-gent was emploved thirty-days, ond was psid for this service the sum of $216, II, boing about ten dollars a day fur a job which has occasioned much of the embar rassment under wmcn tne country now labors, lie got $10 s doy for doing Ihis injury to ths Public a hardworking laborer finds it difficult to get bis dollar a day. But .till, Mr. Kendall belongs lo the "democratic party," and whilst hs rocoived his $10 a day for that work, he also received the regular salary of his office. This appears to be an established usage of this Administra tion. The case ol tne Attorney uenerst is sireauy mentioned. The reports from ihe Depariaaeais show sove-ral other cases, though I will now only add thst of the Commissioner uf Indian Afiairs, whowusfur a while acting Secretary of War, and during this period drew the salaries f each office, being oi tho ruto of f9,000 a ycor. But, Mr. Speaker, no man belter knows all Ihe uses of office than Mr. Kendall. I have read a political tract, written,! Ihink, by Dean Swill, entitled somewhat in this way : "The convenience of a place at Court, or a sure mode of providing garments for a whole family." Mr. Kendall appears to undcrsiond the "modus operan di" of this mstler. Tho printed list of clerks iu his De partment exhibits his father-in-law and two nephews, with salaries ot ( I, uuo, $1,20", l,4W, anu urns we sc. a family provision uf nearly (10,000 a year, including hia own aalary. But Mr. Kendall ia not the only officer who thua lakes core of his own hoiue hold. If provision of this kind be evidence of "foilh," few of them will be Scorotary of Slate's son, unlil very lately, held (he placo of District Attorney in Alabama. A near relation by marriage of the Secretary of the Treasury hss a cornier- aoie annuity ol i,4uu in the isavy ucpatimeni ; another holds the appointment of naval officer in Boston, with a aalary of f 3,1100 per yoar, besides being President of the Lafayette Bank of thai cilyt and a third is the Cashier of the Franklin Bank of that city, which became a special pot under the pet bank system. These gentlemen would all make excellent aub-Trca.urcrs! Mr. Bond said, when the proposition for retrenchment was under consideration herein IbVS, ihe friends of Mr. Adaios, by way of proving that be and Ihoy deeired every joft econuiny and reform, pointed lo hia Me.snge rccoiamending it. How were they an.wercd! Why, sir, Mr. Ingham, who soon afterwards wss msde a Secretary of the Treasury, said it waa indeed true lhal Ihe Messige did recommeud it, but he wanted to see more practice snd less proisssion in this mstler. There were no specified reforms found in the Mesoegof he could only nud there one of those formal recommendations, which were ss unmeaning, he ssid, ssthe words "your numDie servoni" at the loot ot a I. iter. Air. Ksmlolph, in ths same debate, used this language, on the subject of retrenchment and reform: "Tke President did recommend them. In one of ihose lofty geoeraliiieo with which all sermons, political or religious, abuund; which might be printed in blank, like law process, and filled bb occasions might require. put, sir, soid he, 1 am tor looking st the practices, and notal the prcc.pl. of ihe parson, political or religious." Mr. Bond said this rule of Mr. Randolph was perfect ly justt il wss Ihus shown, loo, to be avowed by ibis Adminisirsiion, Bud hs wss willing to judge them by their own rule, snd ihoughl lothi. ihey ought not lo ob ject. Be would lesve il lo the House Bnd lo the Peo ple to say wbciher the "practice." ol this Administration "aoe! continued to iluir procepia." Waa the rccommcndaiiun iu Geasral Jackaon's inaugural adiire.. uno of Ihoso "lofty generalities" just spoken of, aod defined by Mr. Randolph I The "UnilCobi- net" mull have lost ike on ol reading, otherwise "reform" was not quite so "legibly inscribed" aa ihe General imagiood. Thai patronage of ths Federal Government, which was said lo be brought into conflict with the freodoin of Stile elections haa grciily increased, snd ia still lure. trained, in ihe earns conflict. The gentleman tram Tennessee (Mr. Bell,) has for years Ibbored lo bring this llouss to Ihs consideration of a btlj losecurs the freedom of elections, and thus carry iste effect the recommcndsiion of General Jackson's iiknigiiralsddress. Atdo as Ihe gentlemen is, snd unlirin) as lis lias been in his efforts, the mosiure propped by him hss received lha frowns insieod of the fa-vur of tail Administration. He snd iho venerable Sona-tor from the .am. Stale (Mr. While) were ths satly and dovotoa friends of General Jackson, snd thev sltll de sire to terry into practical ell'eot ibe principles which ihey, villi General Jackson profess to bo governed by. They hel and know the imminent danger which threatens the :oumry,in Ihe increoocd olreugih ol the patronage of tffice. They see, and ws all see, that the olfice hulderaore "abroad in ihe land." For a description of ihis gnwing pbalsni and its powsrful Incentive lo so lion, I vill draw on high authority, A member of ihe Senate, (Mr. Grundy,) a aealous friend of Gen. Jock oun, tin evidence ol which haa been already given in his own wilds, held line language, when aiming to pull down lie old Administration! "When I aeo (said he) an otlice-tvldur inteilering in election., it haa occurred to me lha lie wai thinking of his salary, and is, ihoreloro, an unfii adviser ot the People." Mr. Speaker, that which occurred to Mr. Grundy no doubt "Hen occurred lo you at tlio some period. The pmposi ion is a very natural one, and I think Ihst recent svcnieluve strengthened rather Ihsn impaired its truth, lint 1 r( lbs luriher indulgencs of ihe Houee while I reod what another dioiinguiahed friend of Gen. Jackson said, when debating ihe subject of retrenchment and return! is this floor. I .Undo to Mr, Buchanan, now a Senator Irom Pennsylvania, and with his oomiuued and and Brewing devotion to the parly, what he said will certainly be considered "urihudox." I find, by that be-bole, list he aaid it wo. well known "Tint when a man ia once appointed lo office, all the oetfndi pasniuns of his naiuro are onlialed for tho purpose ul relenting il. The office-holders (said ho) sro ihecn-lined mldtors of that Administration by which they are iiiisisiied. Their comfortable existence often depends uuun '.lis re-election of their nstron. Nor does diaan. poinnaenl long ranklo in the hearis of ths disappoint ed. Hope is still left to them; and bearing disappointment with patience they know will present a new claim to office at soma future time." This passage of Mr. Buchanan'. anAApJi nroves him to have been an obsorver of men snd things, and familiar with Ihe leading principles of the human action. He dreaded Ihe consequences of the selfish spirit of the of- uuu'iiuiuur, anu muuueu me country to Delive inatuen. Jackson and his friend, would provide a suitable restraint upon it. But I fear, sir, the Poople will be left to concludo that this gentleman io one of those "political parsons" described by Mr. Randolph, whose "practices" do not correspond wilh his "precepts." It is certain lhal, under the fuvoriie Administration of Ihe gentleman and hi. friends, tne offico-holders have received new life, instead of a check. But I must yet point out another discrepancy betwoen Mr. Buchanan's profession and praciice. In Ihe same debate, he roviewed, with cen-. sure, several of tho foreign missions, that to Russia included and particularly condemned any practice allowing a minister to "return after one year's absence." His language is: "If such a praciice should prevsil, our ministers, in violation of the spirit of the existing low, will receive, by adding the outfit to the salorv, (18.000. In- stoud of (9,000, for one year's service." "I am," sold ho, "against Ibe praciice." inis, Mr, Spooker, woo his precept. Hut, sir, in a bnel space ol time, otter condemning and oaying "I om against the proon'ce,"' we see him take the bountv. and bocome one of the "enlistod soldiers" whom he had described, and go en a foreign mission to Russia, where, aftor slaving ..a twelve-month and a day," he pockets the "(18,000, instead of 9,000,' lor a year's service," and comes Home! This seems to be an nnnropriate time to comoare the precepts ond praciice of Mr. Randolph, too, who said he "was for looking al the practices, and not (ho precepts, ol tho parson, political ur rcligiuu.." in tuut same de bate. Mr.Jtondolnh said he "could not permit any mo tion connected wilh Ibe division of the spoil, lo mingle with" Ins exortions. He would not, he said, give up his constituents snd the plensuresof his home, "lor a clerkship in the Wnr Olfice, or a foreign miiHiont lorcveu for a Department of State." He sold, "there had been on impruvemeut in the plan of sending ministers abroad, ond bringing ihem back, when ihoy have finished their business; for,"said he, "they are now sent abroad on sleeveless errands, that they may come back te-infeeta to pocket their emoluments." Mr. Speaker, the Greeks and Romans both held il to be a highly useful, but exceedingly difficult, matter to know one's self. Modern history, and our own times, odd new force to tbo truth of that position. 1 do not at all quoslion the perfect oin-ccrity uf Mr. Randutnh, when he ultcredihe sentiments; but great oo he may have been, ond skilful as he professed to be, snd, no doubt, was, in the motives of human action, sfier ovents proved how little he knew of himself. Sir, we soon found Mr. Randolph giving up his constituents, and leaving all the boasted endearments of his district, for a foreign mission to Kussis, whore, so fur ns any publie advantage resulted from.it, he emphatically went on a "slcoveless errand," and t'came back re-incela, lopockcl his emolument.!" Indeed, ihismis-siun to Russia seems to hove been apecially dedicated by "the party" to short terms of six snd twelve months, for the advantage of some of the "enlisted soldiera" described by Mr. Buchonan. In this way, the cost of that mission has been inordinately increased; and it is high timo that this drain on the public Treasury for private benefit should be checked. Mr. Bond said it was not to be disguised thst many of the politicians who engaged in the debate and strife of the lime to which ho had alluded, had. been surprised, it not disappointed, by events which soon followed. A singular exchange of position has tsken place between two of these gentlemen. When the retrenchment resolution wss discussed, b friend of the then Administration, Mr. Pearco, of Rhodo Island, look ground, nolin terms, but somewhsl similar to that now avowed and practised by the dominsnt parly, "that tho spoils belong to the victors." Air. WicklilTc, a Jackson reformer, denied Bnd condemned such a right. Hewasappoinusd amem-bor of ihe retrenchment and reform committee, and, after Gen. Jackson csme into power, Mr. Wicklifle zosl-ously endeavored lo carry out the promised reform; but not finding the co-operation he hadexpectcd, he abjured "ihe parly." About ihis time, il happened that the reformers avowed the ductrine "that ihe siioits belong to ths victor.," and Mr. Pearco enlisted under Ideix banner. Sir, has not Ihe country been disappointed ! Have nol the People been deceived and allured by specious and vain promises! Hao not tho Fcdorol Executive patronage inoruinaiely increasea, anu is h not sun un restrained! IB not ine power over li eouscu anu per verted! Do not Ihe expenses of our Genoial Govnrnr mcnt far transcend in smouni all our past history! Why are these things so, and why has not this "plague been stayed," Mr. Speaker, according to your plighted faiib! 1 will lull you why, air. but 1 urefor doing so in ibe Ha. ... ill " -i nm II .iw ... I. ml your .. m-m Mr. Buchsnan, of the Senate, to whom 1 have before referred. In his speech hore, to which 1 hove already lluded, and when he was sssauliing the (then) Admin isirsiion, he thus exclaimee : "The very possession of fiower has a airung, a natural tendency to corrupt the icart. The lust of dominion grows wiifi iis pusacision; Slid ihe man who. in humble life, was Dure, and inno- cem, ond jun, haa ollen been transformed, by the long I Eosacssion ol power, into a monster. Hi Iho sacred look, which conisins lessons of wisdom fur the politician oo well ss fur the christian, wo find a happy illustration of the corrupting influence of powor upon Ihe human heart. When Ifuzael came lo consult Elishs whether his mailer, Ihe King of Syria, would recover from a dangerouo illncas, ihe prophet, looking through the vi. la of futurity, saw the crimes of which Ihe mei-scnger, who stood bofore htm, would be guilty, end he wept. Hazacl asked, 'why wcepcih my lnrdi The prophol then recounted to him the murdors and the crimes of which he should be guilty towardaibechildren of Israel. Hnzael, in the spirit of virtuous indignation, replied: 'Is ihv servant s dog, lhal he should do Ihis tiling !' And Eli.ha answered, ' The Lord hsih shown me that ihou shall be King over 8yria. This man afterwards became King by ihe murder of his mssler, and woo guiltv of enormities, the hare recital of which would make uo shudder." How truo, and, alas! how applicable is this socred illuotration lo Ihooe who invoked iia uoe in elovating themselves to power! Suppose, Mr. Speaker, that oomo inspired Elishs hod been presenl when you snd Mr. Buchanan, with others, engaged in ihe debate which has bceureforrcd lo, snd, muved bv the sympathetic tear of iho prophet, you had asked," Why wcopclh my lord!" how would you hsve been sslonishcd in being then told what lha People of Ibis country have since realized! Imagine, sir, lbs inspired one looking through tlio vista of a few brief years and saying, You will be placed in power, bill will groolly increaoo ihe amount of all public expenditures. Ynu will use the offices snd polrunage of iho country fur private and lint fur public goud. You will create offices for favorites. You will enlsrgo all Executive power. You will deny the right lo call for reasons one removal lromoffice,and in a fowyoars will remove moro than 1500 persons from office fur opinion's sake!

Yuu will roloin " the press, the post office, ihe srmed fnroe, and tho appointing pow. er in Ihe hands of the President, and will not anllor them lo change poaiiion and lakepust on the side of ihe People."

You, Mr. Randolph, will go upon whsl you now eall a "sleeveless errand," snd, allsr saiuillig in. cmperurui ivuaaiB,will moks a pleasant sojourn ill "old England," and return to your estate in Virginia. You, Mr, Buchanan, will become "an office holder and enlisted soldier," go en the very mission to Russia which you are now censuring, and will pocket iho $18,000 for a " twelve-montU aiid a day's" service. You, (to the gentleman from New York,) Mr. Csmbreleng, will opposeavote agoinst the vory measure which you now report and recommend, for reducing the pay of members, aa a means of ahort-sning the session of Congress. You, Mr. Stevenson, will be made Speaker of this House, and appoint its committees, and dispense its rules, wilh the promise of s foreign mission in your pocket. You, Mr. Benton, will vote to lay on the table the bill which you now report to take the patronage of the press from the Government, and your report on Executive patronage, wilh iia six accompanying bills so imposingly introduced, will prove lo hsve been but ss "suunding brass and tinkling cymbals!" You, Mr. Van Buren, who now, as a member of Ihe committee on Executive patronage, report a bill re quiring reasons to be assigned for removing an incumbent from office, will be made Secretary of State, and in due time President, but, from the moment you obtain" . power, you will forget your bill, and not only violate but , roiuse to De governed by Us principles, xou, Air.
