The people are font coming to know what "Democracy1 mean In the State of New Hampshire a gentleman of the name of Hubbard has just been elected Governor by a majority of two or three thousand. This Hubbard, during the laat war. was a violent opponent to the then existing Administration of Mr. Madison, and was one of the conspirator who got up the treasonable combination known as the "Hartford Convention," and was himself appointed a supernumerary Delegate thereto. The elevation of such a man to the office ol Governorof a State is proclaimed a "glorious triumph of the Democracy," by the Statesman and kindred prints. Enough; we see what uDtmocruqj,n amounts to, when it heapa its honors upon such men. But tins is not all the testimony which exists upon the subject Another gentleman of the name of Buchanan is a great favorite with the pretended "Democracy" of Pennsylvania, Preparations are now going forward to bring him out as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. This person is known to have been a politician of the same school with Gov. Hubbard, and like him was deadly hostile to the war with Great Britian, and all who supported tho country in the "times that tried men's souls." A remarkable observation of his at this time, is on record, to the effect that if he supposed he had a "drop of Democratic blood in his veins, he would open them and let it out" With such examples before .them, the people are not to be gulled by party names. They see who are tho "Democrats" and what "Democracy" signifies. They are content that the State Printer should monopolizo all the "Democratic" glory which can enure from the election of such a man as Henry Hubbard, the Hartford Conrcntionisl. PROTECTION. The Whigs are making a general rally on the Turin" qucntinn they go in for a discriminating tariff Upon this question we are willing to meet them, and tttko the negative. It will devolve upon them first to show constitutional authority for a protective tariff", and next, tho question of expediency arises. It constitutionality is denied Wo clip tho above from the " Argun," a Loco Fo-co sheet published at Lawrenccburg, Indiana. We can cite a very high opinion in fuvor of both the power and policy of protecting our own industry, though wo fool convinced that the party to which the Argus is attached, entertains very little respect for its distinguished author. Had he lived till this day, ho might probably have smiled to find himself sot down as a " British Whig." But to our " opinion." Thomas Jektbrso, when Secretary of State, made a Report on the Privileges and Restrictions of the Commerce of tho United States, in which occurs, among otlior things recognizing the constitutional principlo of discriminating duties, tho following sentence : Where a nation imposes high duties on owr productions, or prohibits them altogether, it may be proper for its to do the same by theirs: first burdening or ex-eluding Ouit productions which they bring here in competition ttiik our oumof Va same kind; selecting nejd such manufactures as toe take from Viem in greatest quantity, ami which, at the same time, tee could the soonest furnish oitrselves." Perhaps tho Argus has read something of the character of Tom Jefferson, He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence I NEW YORK. The Loco Focoj are carrying things with a high hand in tho Now York Legixlature. Great part of the winter has been spent in political legislation. They havo stumbled twico, however, against tho Governor's Veto on tho bills to take tho appointment of Bank Commissioners from the Governor and Senate and confer it upon thoX'hancellor, and to repeal the act organiiing the Criminal Court in New York and will probably encounter it on the bill to take the public printing from Thurlow Weed who is doing the work .it a great reduction from the prices formerly paid Croswell, and also next summer, on the bill to apportion tho State, if an iniquitous and unconstitutional division is contemplated.. A knowledge, however, of Gov. Soward's firmness and consistency, may deter the Legislature from a very savage exercise of the spirit of partiality and one-sideduess in the formation of the Congressional Districts. In seven I instance Gov. U. has signed bills which violated his views of tho public interest and wishes, assigning his reasons therefor on tho return of the same to the branch in which they originated. The following is a specimen of these communications: Executive Cuauber, March 2!)th, 1842. To the Assembly : The chief provisions of the act entitled "An Act to provide for paving the debt sod preserving tho cre-di of the Statu' are the imposition of a tax and an indefinite suspension of all the works of Internal Improvement, Theso important measures are contrary to the policy which I have on all proper occasions recommended, and to which, with tho most respectful deference to tho legislature, I ain obliged by convictions of public duty to adhere. But the nucf! turn is of a nature purely legislative, and the measures proposed have not only tho approbation of the fiscal aumini-ttration, (tmm which the r.xccutivo is constitutionally separated,) but arc represented by th:it administration to be absolutely and urgently necessary. Although dissenting from these opinions, 'ot behoving that the Executive could not consistent-y with the spirit of the Constitution attempt to control the deliberate action of the Legislature in regard to such measures under such circumstances, 1 have given my assent to the bill, and it has become a law, WILLIAM II. SEWARD. THAT SPECIE. Have the people in the northern part of the State heard the news from Columbus ? Do they know that they have thousands of "hard money." and that they are enjoying a rich harvest of benefits from the Loco Foco policy of forced resumption? If they are ignorant of those tilings, let thcin read the Statesman and other Loco Foco papers, and they will find it all true. DISTRIBUTION. The Inst Madisuuian copies "public opinion,"from two of tho recently bought up "independent presses' and one Loco Foco pijwr, in favor of tho President's Message, recommending tho repeal of the Land Bill. The majority of twenty seven in tho House will need more powerful proofs than this of tho expediency and propriety of repeat. TROUBLE AGAIN. ' Hogan has thnist his head into tho Lion's mouth again that is. he has ventured on this aide tho Iron- tier and is now snug in jail at Rochester. Wo shall of course havo the McLood farce ovur again, though in this instance it Is mora likely to prove a tragedy. 1(H) HOUSES BURNT.

CLAY'S VALEDICTORY, IN SENATE THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1841 After several reports from committees on private claims, and ordering two or three private bills to be Clay said (as imperfectly heard in Uie Reporters' galleries) that, before proceeding to make the motion for which he had risen, he begged leave to submit, on Uio only occasion afforded him, an observation or two on a different subject. It would be remembered that he had offered, on a former day, some resolutions going to propose certain amendments in the Constitution of the United Slates: they had undergone some discussion, and he had been desirous of obtaining an expression of the sense of Uie Senate upon their adoption ; but owing to Uio infirm state of his health, to uie pressure ot business in Uie Senate, and especially to the absence at this moment of several of his friends he had concluded this to be unnecessary ; nor should he deem hunsslf called upon to reply to the arguments of such gentlemen as had considered it Uicir duty to oppose Uie resolutions. I Ie should commit Uie subject, therefore, to the hands of the Senate, to bo disposed of as Uieir judgment should dictate : concluding what he had to suy in relation to Uiem with the remark, Uiat the convictions he hod before eutertaincd in regard to Uio several amendments, ho still deliberately held, aftor all Uiat he had heard upon tho subjects of them. And now, said Mr. C, allow me to announce, fur-fully and officially, my retirement from Uie Senate of the United States, and to present Uio last motion I shall evor make in Uiis body. But, before I make Uiat motion, I trust I shall be pardoned if I avail myself of Uie occasion to make a few observations which are-suggested to my mind by the present occasion.I entered Uie Senate of the United States in December, 1800. I regarded Uiat body then, and still contemplate it, aa a body which may compare, without disadvantage, with any legislative assembly, either of in ancient or modern times, whether I look to its dignity, Uie extent and importance of its powers, or Uie ability by which its individual members have been distinguished, or its constitution. If compared in any of these respects with the Senates either of France or of England, that of Uie United States will sustain no derogation. With resect to Uie mode of its constitution, of Uiose bodies I may observe Uiat in the Louse of Peers in England, with the exceptions but of Ireland and of Scotland and in that of France, with no exception whatever Uie members hold their places under no delegated authority, but derive Uicui fiomUic grant of Uio Crown, transmitted by descent, or expressed in new patents of nobility ; while here we huve Uie proud title of Representatives of sovereign States, ot distinct and independent common weultlis. If we look again at the powers exercised by the Senates of France and England, and by Uio Senate of the United States, we shall find that tho aggregate of power is much greater here. In all tho members possess the legislative power. In Uie foreign Senates, as in Uiis, the judicial power is invested, although there it exists in a largor degree Uian hero. But, on the other hand, tliat vast, undefined, and unuYfitmblo jHiwer involved in the right to co-oernte with Uie Executive in Uie formation and ratification ot treaties, is enjoyed in all its magnitude and weight by this body, while it is possessed by neiUicr of theirs: besides which, there is another of very great practical importance -th at of sharing with tho Executive brunch in distributing the vast patronage of this Government In both Uiese latter respects, we stand on grounds different from Uie House of Peers either of England or France. And then as to the dignity and decorum of its proceedings, and ordinarily as to Uie ability of its members, I can wiUi great truth declare Unit, during Uie whole long period of my knowledge of Uiis Senate it can, wiUiout arrogance or presumption, sustain no disadvantageous comparison with any public body in ancient or modern times. Full of attraction, however, as a seat in this Senate is, sufficient as it is to fill Uio aspirations of the most ambitious heart, I have long determined to forego it, and to seek that reose which can be enjoyed only in the shades of privutc life, and amid tho culm pleasures which belong to Uiat beloved word "home." It was my purpose to terminate my connexion with this body in November, 1840, alter Uio memorable and glorious political struggle which distinguished that year; but I learned, soon after, what indeed I had for some time anticipated from Uie result of my own reflections, that an extra session of Congress would bo called ; and I felt desirous to co-opyato with my political and personal friends in restoring, if it could bo effected, the prosperity of Uie country by the best measures which Uieir united counsels might he able to devise; and I therefore attended the extra session. It was called, as all know, by um lamented Harrison; but his death and Uie cunsomicnt acces sion of his successor produced an entirely new aspect of public affairs. Had he lived, 1 h'lvo not one particle ot dount tnat every unporuint measure tor which Uio country had hoped with so confident an expectation would have been consummated by Uie co-operation of the Executive branch of the Government And here allow me to say, only, in regard to Uiat so much-reproached extra seiuii of Congress, Uiat I beliovo if any of Uiose who, through tho influence of party spirit or tho bias of political prejudice. havo loudly censured tlic measures men adopted, will look at them in a epirit of candor and of justice, Uieir conclusion, and that of the country generally, will bo Uitit if there exists any just ground of complaint, it is to be found not in what was done, but in what was left unfinished. Had President Harrison lived, and Uie measures devised at Uiat session been fully carried out, it was my intention then to havo resigned my seat But, the hope (I feared it might prove a vain hope) that at the regular session tho measures which we had left undono might even then be perfected, or Uie same object attained in an equivalent form, induced me to postK)iio the determination f nud events which arose after the extra session, remilung from tho failure of those measures which hud been proposed at that session, and which appeared to thnw on our political friends a temporary show of defeat, confirmed me in the resolution to attend Uio present session also, and, whether in proserity or adversity, to share Uie fortune of my friends. But I resolved at Uio same time to retire as soon as I could do so with propriety and decency. From IfOft, Uio period of my entry on this noblo Uicatrc, with short intervals, to tho present time, I huve been on?ugcd in Ute public councils, at home or abroad. Of the nature or Uio value of the services rendered during that long and arduous period of my life it docs not become mo to sjeak ; history, if she deigns to notice me, and posterity, if Uio recollection of my humble actions shall be transmitted to posterity, are Uie best, tho truest, and Uie most impartial judges. When deaUi has closed Ute scene, Uieir sentence will be pronounced, and to Uiat I appeal and refer myself. My acts and public conduct are a fair subject fur Uie criticism am) judgment of my fellow-men; but tho private motives by which they have been prompted arc known only to the great Searcher of Uio human heart and to myself; and I trust I inny he pardoned for repeating a declaration made some thirteen years ago, that, whatever errors and doubUess tiiere have been many may bo discovered in a review of my public service to the country, I can with iinsltakcn confidence apKal to that Divine arbiter for tho truth of tho declaration that I have been influenced by no impure purpose, no er-aonal motive havo sought no porsonal a fjiirandi lenient; but that in all my public acts I have had a sole and single eye, and u warm and devoted heart, directed and dedicated to what in niy best judgment I believed to be Ute true interests of my country. During Uiat long period, however, I havo not escaped tho fate of other public men, nor failed to incur censure and detraction of Uio bitterest, most unrelenting, and nioNt malignant character; and though not always insensioie io uie pain ii was meant to inflict, I have borne it in general with comimsuro, and without disturbance here, pointing to ins breast, wailing as I havo done, in perfect and undoubting confidence, for Uio ulliiuute triumph of justice and of truth, and in tho entire persuasion Uiat lime would, in Uio end, soldo all Uiiugs aa they should be, and Uiat whatever wrong or injustico I might experience , at the hands of man, I Ie to whom all hearts are open and fully known, would in the end, by the inscrula-blo dispensations of His providence, rectify all error, redrtwM all wrong, and cauae ample justice to be done. But I have nut meanwhile buun unstiNtaincd. Ever)' where throughout the extent of Uiis great continent I have hud cordial, warmhearted, and devoted friends, who have knomi mo and justly appreciated my motives. To them, if language were susceptible ol fully expressing my acknowledgments, 1 would now oiler, uVm, aa all Uio return 1 have now to mako for Uieir genuine, disinterested, and js'ntovering fidelity and devoted attachment But it I fail in suituble I an pun go to express my gratitude to them for all Uie kindness they havo shown me what shall I say what can 1 any at all commensurate with 1)100 feelings of gratitudo which 1 owo to the Suto whose humblo repnweniativo and servant I have been in Uiis Chamber? Here Mr. CVs feelings apearcd to overpower him, and ho proceeded with deep sensibility and with difficult utterance. I emigrated from Virginia to the State of Ken tucky now nearly forty-five years ago ; I went as an orphan who had not yet attained Uie age of majority who had never recognized a tamers smiie nor leu his caresses poor pennyless without tho favor of the great with an imperfect and inadequate education, limited to the ordinary business and common pursuits of life ; but scarce had I set my foot upon her generous soil when I was seized and embraced with parental fondness, caressed as though I had been a favorite child, and patronized wiUi liberal and unbounded munificence. From that period the highest honors of the State have been freely bestowed upon me ; and afterward, in Uie darkest hour of calumny and detrac tion, when I seemed to be forsaken by all Uie rest of the world, she Uirew her broad and unpenetrable shield around me, and, bearing me up aloft in her courageous arms, repelled the poisoned shafts that were aimed at my destruction, and vindicated my good name from every false and unfounded assault But the ingenuity of my assailants is never exhausted, and it seems I have subjected myself to a new epithet ; which I did not know whether it should be taken in honor or doreiration : I am held up to Uie country as a dictator." A dictator ! The idea of dictatorship is drawn from Roman institutions; and at the time Uio office was created, tho person who wielded Uie tremendous weight of authority it conferred, concentrated in his own person an absolute power over the lives and property of all his follow-citizens ; he could raise armies ; he could build and man navies; ho could levy tuxes at will, and raise any amount of revenue he might choose to demand ; and life and death rested on his fiat If I hud been a dictator, as I am said to have been, where is tiic power with which I was clothed ? Had I any army ? any navy? any revenue? any patronage ? in a word, any power whatever f If X Jmd bssu a dictator, I think Uiat even Uiose who have tho most freely applied to me Uie appellation, must be compelled to make two admissions ; first, Uiat my dictatorship has been distinguished by no cruel executions, stained by no blood, nor soiled by any act of dishonor ; and, in Uie second place, I think they must own (though I do not exactly know what date my commission of dictator bears I imagine, however, it must have commenced with Uio extra session) Uiat if I did usurp the power of a dictator I at least voluntarily sur rendered it wittnn a shorter period than was n Hotted for Uio duration of Uie dictatorship of Uie Roman Commonwealth. If to have sought, at the extra session and at the present, by Uio co-operation of my friends, to carry out the grcHt meu.su res intended by the popular ma-! jonty ot J H 40, and to have desired that they should j all have Dcen adopted and executed ; it to nave i anxiously desired to see a disordered currency rcgu-! luted and restored, and irregular exchanges equalized and adjusted; if to have luburcd to replenish Uie empty coffers of Ute Treasury by suitable duties; if to have endeavored to extend relief to Uie unfortunate bankrupts of Uie country, who had been ruined in a great measure by the erroneous policy, as we believed, of this Government; if to seek to limit, circumscribe, and restrain Executive authority ; if to retrench unnecessary expenditure and aooiiuli uhc-less offices and institutions ; if, whilst Uie public honor is preserved untarnished by supplying a revenue adequate to meet tho national cnimgoincnts, in cidental protection can bo afforded to the national industry ; if Uientertain anardcntsolicitude to redeem every pledge and execute every promise fairly mode by my political friends with a viow to the acquisition of power from Uie hands of an honest and con fiding people; it these objects constitute a man a DieTATon, why, then, I suppose I must be content to bear, although I still only shure with my friends, Uio odium or the honor of the epithet, as it may be considered on Uie one hand or on tho oUier. That my nature is warm, my temper ardent, my disposition, csjmcially in relation to Uie public ser vice, enthusiastic, 1 am limy ready to own ; and Uiose who suppose Uiatl have been assumintr Uio dictator ship havo only mistaken for arrotfanco or assumption Uiat fervent ardor and duvotiun which is natural to my constitution, and which 1 may havo displayed with too little regard to odd, calculating, and cautious prudence, in sustaining and zealously supporting important national measures of policy which I have presented and proposed. Jmnng a long and arduous career ot service in uie fiuhlic councils of my country, especially during tho ust eleven years I havo held a scat in Uio Senate, from Uio same ardor and enthusiasm of character, I have no doubt, in Uie heat of debate, and in an honest endeavor to maintain my opinions airninst ad- verso opinions equally honestly entertained, as to Uie best course to be adopted tor uio public we Hiiro, 1 may have often inadvertantly or unintentionally, in moments of excited debate, made use of languuge that has been otleiisivc, and susceptible of injurious interpretation towards my brother Senators. If tiiere bo any hero who retain wounded feelinjrs of injury or dissatisfaction produced on such occasions, I beg to assure tliein tnat 1 now oiler tho amplest apology for any departure on my part from the established rules ot pirliamentary decorum and courtesy. On tho outer hand, I assure Uie Senators, one and all without exception and without reserve, that I retire from this Senate Chamber wiUiout carrying with me a single feeling of resentment or diiwi Induction to Uie Senate or to any one of its members. I go from this place under tiio hoe that wo shall, mutually, consign to iierjietuil oblivion whatever personal collisions may at any tirno unfortunately huve occurred between us; and that our recollections shall dwell in future only on those conflicts of mind with mind, those intellectual struggles, thoso noblo exhibitions of Uio powers of logic, argument and eloquence, honorable to Uie Senate and to the country, in which each has sought and contended for what ho deemed Uie best mode of accouiplishingouft common object, Uio greatest interest and the most happiness of our beloved country. To tiione Uirillmg and del ichi ful scenes it will be my pleasure and my pride to look back in my retirement And now, Mr. President, allow mo to mako the motion which it wns my object to submit when I rose to address you. I present Uie credentials of my friend and successor. If any void has been created by my own withdrawal from Uie Senate, it will be filled to ovorllo wing by him; whoso urbanity, whose gallant and gentlemanly bearing, whose steady adherence to principle, and whose rare and accomplished powers in debate, are known already in advance to Uio whole Senate and to the country. I movo Uiat his credentials bo received, and Uiat Uie oath of oflico bo now administered to him. In retiring, as I am about to do, forever, from the Senate, sutler me to express my heartfelt wishes Uiat all the great and patriotic objects for which it was constituted by Uie wise framers of our Constitution may be fulfilled ; that Uie high destiny designed for it may be fully answered ; and Uiat its deliberations, now and hereafter, may eventuate in mtoring the prosMjnty of our beloved country, in maintaining its rights and honor abroad, and in securing and upholding its interests at homo. I retire, 1 kuow it, at a period of infinite distress and embarrassment 1 wish I could take my leave of you under more favo- rablo auspices ; but without meaning at this time to say whether on any or on whom reproaches for the sad condition of Uie country should fall I appeal to the Sena to and to Uio world to bear testimony to my earnest and anxious exertions to avert it, and that no blsmo can justly rest at my door. May the b leaning of Heaven put upon the whole Senate and each member of it, and may the labours of every one redound to tho benefit of tho nation. and ttio advancement ot his own tame and renown. And when you shall retire to the bottom of your con stituents, may you meet that most cheering and gratifying of all human rewards their cordial greeting of "Well done, good and faiUiful servant" And now, Messrs. President and Senators, I bid you all a long, a lasting, and a friendly tarewolt "HOME INDUSTRY." Wo havo read several articles published within a few days, ridiculing uio idea Uiat tree trado is to in jure Uio mechanics of this country and, ananevi dence that no sucn etieci need he apprehended, u is stated, that French boota sell in New York and I Un ion at from $8 to 50 per pair, whilst Uiomo of American niHuutactiire can bo nil on led at a much lean price. This i ajtsertiou, but wo aro;.ot yet furnished with Uio proof and, as Uio writers in favor of Uio foreign mechanics have failed to submit any testimony, wo will oiler some to which we beir leave to call Uieir attention, and that of the mechanics of Baltimore, It is Uiis : Mr. Hell, in Market Simce, near Uio corner of llaltiinore street, has for sale some French boots, price 1 50 per pair original cost 10 per dozen. They aro said to bo a neat article. Should Congress not alter the tanlT, ho states that, aftor June, Uie same kind of boots can bo had at JfVU per dozen, ftow, bootmakers are bettor quali lied than wo are to say whether they can afford Uio some kind of article of as good a quality at aa low a price, it moy do content, it is not lor us to grieve. Nor aro we to lamont if ready made London coats, or excellent cloth, can bo furnished at from s 15 to fifl each. If our own mechanics prefer that tiioso ot lureum countries shall clothe tho American feo- plo, bo it to. We are opposed to such liberality but if tiiey are satisfied, Congress will hardly think it necessary to gratuitously interfere to savo them irem uetni' inm. fKi more t apper. FRIDAV EVENING, APRIL 8, 1342. BANK RESUMPTION. The Kentucky Banks have resolved to resume on Uie 15th day of June next Uie same day with Indiana.The Legislature of Virginia fixed upon the 1st of November. The House in which there was a Whig majority were in favor of an earlier day, June or July, we believe ; but the Loco Foco Senate, under the dictation of Father Ritchie, refused to go for an earlier day Uian November. Is not this deserving Uie attention of Uie Statesman? It seems to us, that a litUe pure u Democratic n thunder would be very appropriate. 10TII CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Gov. Corwin has issued his warrant for an election in Mr. Giddings District, on TueBday, the 26th day of April inst It does not appear probablo Uiat there will be any opposition to Mr. Giddings re-election. WHOSE IS THE DECEPTION ? u The Journal and its co-laborers are practising a gross deception upon Uie people. It knows that the tariff must be, in fact it is bawling at the top of its voice- demanding Uiat it should be increased above 20 per cent ; the effect of which will be, by the very terms of the distribution law, to prevent the States from receiving a cent; and yet, the Journal is accusing the President of wishing to deprive the States of money rightfully belonging to them." Old School Republican. . . Jr If an increase of tho Tariff is to operate to prevent the States fronj receiving any Uiing under the Distribution act, whence the necessity of any message from the President on the subject, recommending a repeal ? Or are we to understand that Uio President does not anticipate any augmentation of duties, or intends to veto a bill for that purpose, if one should pass ? WiUi what fuce can we be accused of "practising a deception," for taking Uie President at his word in endeavoring to procure the suspension and virtual repeal of Uie Distribution law ! If the Land proceeds are not to be distributed a- mong Uie Sutes, under an increased Tariff, perhaps Uie Republican can answer for Uie views of Uie President in sending his ill-timed and ill-considered message to Congress. We may perhaps be able Uien to detennino better where " deception " may be imputed.ARRIVAL OF THE BKITIMH PLENIPOTENTIARY. Lord Askburton arrived at Annapolis, Md, on the 4th inst, htving been conveyed out by Uie ship of war Warspite, and been at sea 50 days. He proceeded immediately to Washington. (701d Futiicr Ritchie, like his other Loco Foco brethren, is lelighted with the President's recommendation of Uio repeal of the Distribution Act He says Uio 'message has produced a deep sensation at Washington.' Yes, indeed, and a deep sensation" all through tiie country. It is a sentiment of indignaliont however. Tho afliliuted Tyler and lwo Foco prisscs aro rejoicing togeUicr over tins anti-Whig deimntitration, but Uio people will every where sustain Congress in resisting Uio Executive dictum. TOWNSHIP ELECTION. At the Towmhip election, on Monday last, the re gular Whig ticket, with Uio exception of a single Supervisor, was elected by various majorities. Tho Loco Foe os made an attempt to cut in on some of Uie candidates, but'Jicy found Uie Whig squares impen etrable. BANKRUPTCY. Wo are rcqucrd to say Uiat the District Judgo will hold a court m Bankruptcy, in this city, on Uio 24th June; and that applications presented to Uie Judge, during tho term commencing the 20th inst, will bo in time for hearing at Uie Juno term.

The indications from Mr. Giddings district are Uiat he will be re-elected to Congress wiUiout opposition. Public meetings have been held at Warren and Chard mi in approbation of his couino, at the fonner of which Gen. Simon Perkins presided; and at the latter Uie Hon. Peter Hitch-rock. Spirited resolutions were ailojSed at both, and Mr. G. addressed Uie meeting in person at W'arren, Messrs. O. P. Ilrnwn, S. Ford. W. I Perkins, J. II I'aino, and E.

Mr. Gi:try, after remarking Uiat Uie main question as to Uie expediency of passing a bill to authorize a loan was one on which every politician of even' party entertained but one opinion, adverted to Uie immediate question before the House which was on Uie amendment proposed by Mr. Wise, empowering Uie Secretary of Uie Treasury, whenever the stock to be created should be below par, to enter Uie market and buy it up at sucn a price as it might happen to bear. In regard to this, he observed that if he could suppose Uiat Uie proposition meant nothing more Uian it expressed upon its face, be should regard it as one altogether absurd and ridiculous ; but he would not do uio mover such injustice as to believe this. He took it for granted Uiat this had been offered merely as a mode of maintainting tho principle Uiat it was Uie duty of Government, when borrowing money, to mako a special pledge in regard to its repayment The object of Uie loan was to meet and supply Uie existing deficit in Uie Treasury Uie money must be immediately applied to meet present wants and engagements; and then where would be the fund in Uie hands of Uie Secretary out of which to redeem Uie stock, as proposed by the amendment? Refore he could do that, he must wait till there was a balance in Uie Treasury applicable to Uie pur-, pose; and, in the meanwhile, unless tho stock were redeemed, Uio faith of Uie Government would bo as much violated as if no such provision hud been ...vie. He supposed the amendment had bf. -u ottered i.:- a! peg on which to hang a speech. Much of whut h . ! bfwn flaid by tlut ffontianuu from Viu.i,(llp iV-i,-j as well as Uie gentleman from Indiuna, had been oi a purely partisan character, relating first and muinly to UiemsLdves, then to Uie President of tho United States, tud lastly to Uie courso of Uie majority on Unit floor. Much of what had been said consisted of an attack on Uiat majority, impugning the honor und character of the House; but this he might havo failed to notice, save for concomitant circumstances out of Uie House, which went to show Uiat the whole was uie result ot a regularly organized system ot ope ration intended to injure Uie character and hrcnk Uie ! moral influence ot Uie House ot itepresentativcs, anil of the Cmifrreiw irennrallv. Thus believing, and regarding the gentleman from Virginia as tho peculiar friend and organ of the Executive on Unit floor, Mr. G. considered it his duly to repel the attack, and to vindicate Uio conduct and character of the House of which ho constituted a part 11 ore Mr. Cooper, of Georgia raised a question of order as to the relevancy ol sucu a course ol remarK on a loan bill. The Chair admitted that it was not in order; but as Uie committee had permitted preceding speeches of the same character, Uio chairman did not consider himself as authorized to intcrposo and arrest Uio de- ate alter it had proceeded uius lur. Mr. Gentry disclaimed oil intention of violating Uie rules of order, and reminded the committee of the itler ho had previously made, to waive his privilege if speaking if tho debute could cease and the ques tion bo taken ; but Uie debate had continued, and he laimed it as his right now to proceed and finish Uie courso of remark he had before only commenced. In supiHirt of Uio ground he had taken, Uiat Uiere was a fixed purpose on the iiart of Uie President's friends to derogate from Uie character of Uie House in tho public estimation, Mr. G. cited remarks of Mr. r rollit insinuating Uiat tiie opposition of gentle men to Uie Executive was Uie failure of Uieir applications for office and Uieir repulse by Uie President, tiU nts reference, when called on to spccily, to tho cntU tiinn from New York, (Mr. J. C. Clark, Since then 'i n ir'ilar call had been made on tho President for th i i.i i on of such applicants, but Uiis had been refused to bv complied wiUi on Uie ground titut it as a matter confidential in its nature. If so, how had tho genticman got the information on which he made his so confident ansertions? EitherUio 1'rcni- lent had v.olated the confidence of members, or tin.- barge hid been without authority, and uiniclcd th- grossest injustice on the House. A few doys before Uie attack of the gentleman from Indiana, a public political meeting had been held at Now York, Uie great emporium of fury and patriotism, in which, as it was declared to be a meeting of persons of all parfics, it seemed Uiat the patriotism of all had been gathered up into ono muss for the purpose of praising the patriotism of the Presi dent and denouncuig Congress tor not complying with his recommendations and adopting his measures. Among Uie prominent speakers hud been a Air. Ketchuin, formerly a correspondent of Uie Hoc rotary of tit-ito, and a Air. Maxwell, of whom he know no thing; but should like to know whether eitiior or botii the genUemen were applicants forollico; and he felt curious fiirth'T to ascertain whetiior Mr. Collector urtin had had a hand in getting up Uie meeting, and whether it did not consist in part of the rank and file from Uie New York custom-house. Ho suspect ed, if examined into, it would present rather a curious imtsuTUionoi uie wing principle oi non-inieriTenco witii Uie freedom of elections. Tho vhde course of Uie proceed in li showed plainly ci...t .-h thnt tiie meeting had been gotten up to ;iid t i2 1'nMulont Tho gentleman, after tiiese swe.'pi.nr . Kutiims on Uie majority of Congress, had g i - - mv in ti mated tnat Uie House was re ! ( to . n . for Uio relief of Uie country, distn.yvd a i. v . ., because relief measures were recomiui'iv'-.d '. v President, and because they wihed to reserve Ui hope and opportunity of such relief as a means of advancing the interests and securing Uie election of I .Mr. Clay. Were this charge founded in trutlu Uien would Conjrross merit all the indignant feeling which the gentleman had affected to teel at its course. Hut Mr. G. repelled Uie charge as wholly unfounded und grossly injurious ami unjust Air. G. here ret rred to Uie feelings with which ho hud taken his seat in this body, and his fixed determi nation to give his support io any measure ine bxecuuvo might recom mend that would be likely to do more good thnncv.l; and he demanded a single fact to stmw Uiat the Win.; party hid net shown generally Uie same spirit, and had not marched up fully to the discharge of Uieir public duty. Here ho adverted to their vote for Uio revenue bill and Uio loan bill at Uie called legion ; but while Uie Whig majority had supported tiiese measure to Bid the Administration, tiie two gentlemen from Virginia and Indiana had both voted in opposition to Uio bills. Although Uie President hud turned Uio guns of Uieir own batteries upon the in, the Whigs had not flinched from Uieir duty: aJUiough they knew at Uio time Uiat all Uie strength derivod from their aid would immediately be turned against themselves. As to Uie foul and unjust imputation of having been actuated merely by the Iiodo of office. could Uie gentloman deny Uiat the Whigs had a right from Uie President's own declarations in his inaugural message, to expect Uiat applications made in belt df of meritorious men should be favorably receivod, than Uiat cor nipt and incompetent incumbents of of lico would be removed? Assuredly. Nor was tiiere in Uiis anytiung improjicr, or any Uiing to bo ashamed of, but the contrary. Rut if it were true Uiut any member of Congress had applied to the Executive for place for limine!!', and had accompanied Uio application witii an oiler of nis own earnest support, and that in consequence ol tiie offer being refused ho hod then turned about and i pi MW! d and denounced tiie President Mr. G. would to God Uiat his name might be given up, and Uiat he had a whip of scorpions to liwri Uie rascal nuked through the world. He called for names, and fori tiroot . Ii thr-e were not givon, Uien should he be-; leve that Uie President hod connived at a base and calumnious clnrge being made in Uie dark by one of his own confidential party friends. Ho should hold uio gunut'inaii irom Indiana Douim to prove in charge. .Meanwhile, it suited the object of Uie Pre sidciit Unit such charges should bo made, because tiiey went to break down the moral power of Con- greu on public sentiment. Hut why Uiis desire on the part of Uie chief Executive nit ic or of Uiis nation? Was it a becoming and worthy feeling inthootlicial head of tho Government thus to dtiro to proatrnte Uio inlluunco of Uie Legislature? The reason was to bo found in Uio fact Uiat a considerable part of tho body had denounced his want ooth ot wisdom and ot Patriotism, and had mane out a strong case before the country. From Uie force of Uiat presentation Mr. Tvler wishod to escape, and henco tiiese combined efforts to destroy Congressional character and influence. After thus denouncing tiie motives of Ihoso who opposed Uie President the gentleman from Virginia had announced to Uie W big majority here Uiat if they pereistcd in their present courso ot doing notjuug, "thov wou Id ho d 1 at nrescm uiey were hkc Miiliomnt'scollin Uiat was suspended between heaven and earth. Ry heaven, he took it, tho gentleman meant Mr. Tyler and his sainted friends on Ui.it floor, and by onrth, of courso, the Demoe rttic party. A laugh.) Them was an issue, itr ' 1, fully made up between tho do-aomethmg and 'he- du-i.;huu;; parties, and unless Uio Whigs aLfpt-H rn.ur.'x proposed to them by Uie Prwdrii', . : -ust be d d. Those were hard liu . Hut if t1 tieman from Virginia had boon so e.v miuh i1 Uie distresses of the country at Uie gxp a.. -uci a he now professed to be, instead of the universal wail of public and private distress which now came up from every quarter of the country the land might before Uiis have resounded with noUiing but Uie songs of deliverance and joy. Rut what were these measures Uie Whiga must take on Uie pains and penalties of political damnation ? They were Uie exchequer, Uie tariff, the loan bill, Uie issue of Treasury notes, and large appropriations.Now, when Uie gentleman from Virginia proclaimed ex cathedra, as Uie Executive organ, that Congress must move, and move immediately, and move only in one way, vie into the open arms of John Tyler, who was inviting every thing, black, white, or gray, Turk or infidel, who would go for making him President, and denounced as the only alternative Uiat Congress must be d d, all he had to Bay was, Uiat if Uie case were really so, he for ono would prefer an honorable political damnation to Uie utter and open sacrifice of every principle for which Whigs had put on Uieir armor und fought and triumphed. As to Uie Exchequer project, Mr. G. held it to be in direct conflict with all Uie creeds heretofore Bworn to by Uie PresidentHere Sir. G. quoted a document, the title of which Uio Reporter could not hear; but which Mr. G. said was an autiioritative expose of the President's views. The President said to Congress, adopt Uiis and we wil absolvo you from all responsibility to your constituents, and we are prepared to stand or tall by Uie consequences. Mr. G. here summed up the leading features of Uie plan of Uie Exchequer, insisting that it was precisely what Uie Whigs had all along said thft i.ih.TrAMsnr ! -. - oifcifliiicn, bank. Tho President might well enough be willing to take on himself all Uie responsibility could such a measure paas : for no sooner would it become a law Uian he would be a more absolute monarch Uian Ute Emperor of Russia. The gentleman fr im Virginia had tauntingly told Mr. G. and his friends Uiat they were between two batteries, and could not escape: that they must lake what was tlmn proposed for tiiem, or go down. Well, Mr. G. preferred to plant himself on Uie platform of sound Whig principles, and take tho shot from both quarters, miner man basely and lameiy yield to fcx ecutive dictation. Mr. G. next referred to those portions of the speeches of Mr. Wise and Mr. Promt which hud reference to Uieir course at Uio called session. The Whigs, it soemed, contrary to Uie remonstrances and warnings of Uie gentleman from Virginia, had rushed on Uio bosses of two vetoes." He hud offered to be Uieir political Moses, but tiiey had refused to follow him. Air, G. attributed most of tho calamities of Ute Whig party to tho course of that geiiUemau, and applying his own code of political etiiics, which the gen tlei nun had laid down for politicians generally, to his own course, Mr. G. would proceed to speak of Uiat gentleman's motives as well at tho extra session os at Uiis time. Tho gentleman, previously to the commencement of Uie called session, had been personally alienated from a distinguished man at the oUier end of the Capitol ; he had tiirown himself into Uie breach, and done all he could to prevent Uio measures which had been proposed at the called session, predicting Uiat that session would have a disastrous termination. His utmost endeavor hud, however, proved ineffectual to break Uio Macedonian phalunx presented by Uie Whig party in both Ilouwes. The gentleman was at Uiat time opposed to granting Uie country any relief, unless it proceeded from his own man; but finding Uiat he had been completely foiled in all his attempts to thwart the remedial measures of the party he had abandoned, he Uirew himself upon the Executive, and made him the instrument of gratifying Uie vindictive passions Uiat flamed within his bosom; and he had continued to use him for Uie same ond from that day to Uiis. Mr. G. acquitted Uio genUcman, readily, from all mercenary motives in his political course. No, it was not from desire of pecuniary gain ; it was to slake Uie thirst of the burning passions of his nature by glutting his vengeance on uie onjectoi a is hate; and lor such an end he resolved to make a tool of i weak imbecile President; and too well had he succeeded; too well for Uie honor of Uie President for his own character, and lor Uie happiness and prosperity of his country. The gentleman had vilified Uie Whig nartv as Uie subservient followers of a great political leader iu onouier part ot Uio us pi tot And suppose it were true Uiat the party did follow Uie lead of that distinguished individual If thoy had a leader, must it Hot have baan . ooulil not fMMty, uaiukd in. principle and action, follow the lead of such a man as honorable and independent patriots? Must they necesswily be subservient, cringing, sycophantic staves ? Whose voice was heard most majestic in tho storm ? Whose sword gleamed most brightly in Uie fore front of the battle? What would Uio gentloman havo had them do? What conceivable course could they have pursued to secure that gentleman's very distinguished approbation? When tho President's Mcs4ai" apprized them that there was a deficit in Uie Treasury, Uiat Uio currency was deranged, business prostrate, and the country in a state of general embarrassment and distress, what would Uie gentleman havo had Uiem do for the general good ? Adjourn and go home. But Uio obstinato Whiga would not do Uiat They brought forward bills to relieve tiie Government and the country a loan bill, and a revenue bill ; and, as soon as they were brought into the House, the gentleman encountered Uiem with his fiercest op;iosition and even when there was a bill to effect a regulation of Uie currency and to furnish a circulating medium, although tiie gentleman was tiio pledged advocate of Uie measure proposed, becatiso it did not proceed from Ai man, he opposed Uiis too; and, when he could not succeed, he flew to the President at Umt evil hour when he was vacillating between tho trumpet call of patriotism on Uie one bund, and the dark mutterings of a vile and selfish ambition on Uie other Ry Uiat overpowering boldness, that daring courage which fears nothing and stops at nothing, ho obtained Uio mastery over his feeble mind, and Uius forced Uie country into a state of tilings which, according to his own declaration, u postponed all hope of relief for twenty years." And what must Uio majority in Congress do now in order to secure the approbation of Uio gentloman? Crouch down at tho footstool of Executivo mercy, bare Uieir backs, receive merited chastisement for not having sooner complied with his mandates ; and, having been well whipped, turn round and sing hosan-nas to Uie man whose blows bad cut them to tiie bone, and humbly assure him of the perfect meekness and submission with which tiiey were ready to run any way, go any length, do or suffer any tiling, to merit tho smiles of to able and so august a mas-tor, and recompense his filtering indulgence. No, noUiing was now left for Uiem to accomplish but to preserve tho country and protect its honor. To relievo it waa, under Uio circumstances, beyond their power. Tho destiny prepared for thoin was to perish between Uie two buttonoa whose guns wore ready to play. He trusted they should do all that it became patriotic Whigs to do, and if tiiey must fall that they should fall witii tho flag of tiioir country proudly waving over Uiem. Mr. G. referred to Mr. Wise's former vote against all appropriations for tiio defence of the country, and forcibly contrasted it with his present urgency on tho majority to make appropriation af mr appropriation. Tonty millions were estimated, and the country must bo mado to boliovo that President Tyler was most anxious to provide for Uie public safety but Uie Whigs would nut let him. He then adverted to a part of Mr. Proilit's remarks on tho haste which characterized thecoiiiW of legislation at Uie called session ; so great had it been Umt Uiat gentleman had not been consulted, a laugh, nor had his opinion been listened to. It secmod uiat as tiio genUoman thought that a speech of his had elected more Uian half the Indiana delegation on this floor, and he supposed another speech had elected (ten. Harrison to tiie Presidency, when he came on here, at the called session ho would hive had merely to signify his pleasure as to matters, whether ot Legislative or ol Executivo appointment, and instant otiedience would follow; but los: no nud louna himself disappointed in this just expectation; and, being disgusted at such ingratitude, tie became in dignant, and soon discovered Uiat U:3 man ne naa so lately lauded to the skies and declared fit to bo President of the universe, was a tyrant a haughty, arrogant tyrant and (worse still) was even a greater man Uian himself! a laugh; ind thus it might seem to aomo that Uie gentleman's summerset in in politics wus chargeable not to an exalted patriotism, but mainly to mortified vanity. Tho gentleman, to vindicate himself from all suspicion of mercenary motives hud referred triumphantly to tho fact that ho had left a triumphant majority to join a lean and weak minority. Truot but Uio gentleman hud for cot tnstatrt'mt he had h spooned to do this hut at the moment tho majority had, through the treachery of their loader, bocome absolutely powerless and tht natron ot uiat ama(l minority had in his nana one hundred thousand offices, with all iheir honors and emoluments. Alter some further remarks mi tho unfairness of tiie sneers of Uie President's frian.lt for Uie Whigs failure in accomplishing what tiiey and ho had prevented them from doiiur, ho concludud his reply to Uie remark of Mr. Who as to tit motives which actuated the Whigs in opposing the measures recon inenaea oy uie fjcecuuve. Mr. G. next commented on Mr. Wise's declara tion Uiat there was no war between the President and the moderate men of Uie Whig party. And hem he went into a brief review of the manner in which, Dy uie success ol one party JMr. Tyler nad come into his present place, and when his measures were not complied with, how he turned upon both Uie great parties into which the country had alwava been di vided, and denounced them both as mere political factions, assuming to himself a vast superiority to all partv influences. Now Uiis reminded him of a cer tain gang of people in Uie days of our Revolution, who were then called "cow-boys," who fought neither for Whigs nor Tories, but sold beef to both, Loud laughter. If these were to be our patriots, God holp the conntrv! TA long, low resnonse. amen." The next part of Mr. Wises speech he noticed. was where Mr. W. had said that the courso of Uie Whigs had driven the President and his friends "to tiie Democratic party, but could not drive them any further." This was a little equivocal ; but, as the language stood. Mr. G. heart ilv resDonded to the truth of it The President had been driven to tiie Democratic party, but there he must stop. Yes ; for nothing could drive him into it The party had been charged with seducing Mr. Tyler: it was not true: it was a libel on the fair name of tiie lady ; she had smiled upon Air. Tyler, it was true, and he, good easy man, instantly threw himself into her arms; but when he expected Uie warm grasp of passion and of love, he was thrown off with disgust and loathing! INo: He might he "driven to Uie Democratic party, but notbuig could d.'ive him further." And if lie so much as dreamed of anv thim? of the sort if he ever had a dream Uiat, by any possibilities of destiny, he might get a nomination at tiio hands of thut party tiiere were but two men in " America who had that same dream, viz: Uie President of the United States and Uie honorable gentle- , man from Virginia. Laughter. (f that gentloman had forced hiinsclf to believe that by Uie force, the indomitable energy of his will, he had irot un . third party, he was mistaken. No; the Uiird party "would nut come" it must be a party consisting; of all officers and no soldiers." Nor would the Democratic party acknowledge itself to be a fac tion. Possibly Uie President might get enough from off the borders of Uiat party to till Uie oflices he had io give, dui uiese would always be tiio poorest and meanest of recruits. A laugh. So the President must atler all. fall buck nn hia Whig principles and return to his Whig fricnds,(and they were very far from desiring any such secession,) or he must content himself to stand where he was, an ouject ol Uie scorn and contempt of both parties. The President was a disappointed man.- He had abandoned tiioso who would have sustained him, and had forfeited the opportunity of securing a lasting glory as Uie benefactor of his country : and in olaco of this, had inflicted a deep wound on the cause and hopes of liberty itself. Such a disappointment alter such a victory quenched tiie ardor of the People, and it would bo a lung and difficult task to re-kindle in Uieir bosoms tiie same ardor and united confidence which had roused thun to the deliverance of their country. Mr. O. passed on to remark on Uie chango which was to be observed in the course of tiio Dumocratia party in the House since Uio course of event had mspireu uiem wuu uie nope ot soon regaining their lost power. Now Uiey were loud in their calls for tax es! tuxes! They pressed for a tariff bill, and deman ded large appropriations tor defence. Why? liecausa Uie Whig mujonty would boar Uie responsibility of laying tiie taxes, and tiie whole benefit woutd, as Uiey hoped, enure to themselves. Formerly they had op posed a loan, because Uiere was no deficit in Uie Treasury. Oh, no ; tiie Government could got along very well ( but now they cried, away with Uio compromise act give us loans give us revenue give us a new tariff! Here was a full vindication of Uie so much vilified course of Uie Whigs at Uie extra, session. Now it was admitted Uiat all Uie great provisions then made were necessary, and were demanded by the exigencies of tiie People and the Govern ment i no doctrine Uiat Uie public lands ought not to be looked to as a pennanent source of revenue had been held by tiie greatest sages Uiat had adorned our history; Gen. Jackson himself had admitted this; and even Uie gentleman fiom Virginia (Mr. Wise)hadonco made a similar admission; though ai uw ttnw he niado Ue itpv h he haiL U bn stm-ti a little intoxicated. Air. Wise shook his head. It reminded him of a remark of an old guntieinan who said Uiat drunkenness was no excuse for words spoken i becatiso a man when he was drunk let out tha secrets of his heart a laugh. JJutnow Uie gentleman would vote no loan bill and no revenue bill till the lands were restored to Uio General Govern inent Mr. G. complimented the Democratic nurtv nn ilm adroitness with which Uiey had led Uie President to believe that if he would make one concession to Uiem, Uiey might perhaps, renominate him for another term. They had pressed him hard to veto tiie iana dui, and gladly would he have done it for them, had it not been that he stood pledged on record to tho measure. Now tiiey were playing off tiie same gome. One' more concession, and tiie barrier between Uiem and Uio Executive would be broken down. Tho President credulously caught at Uie hope; and no sooner had the House refused an amendment to bring back tho proceeds of the public lands, thnn straight he comes out with an Executive recommendation to repeal tiie land bill ! lie examined Uie reasons assigned for tins in the messago, which he declared wholly insufficient and unsatisfactory. He Uien took occasion to pronounce an eloquent eulogy on the land bill of Mr. Clay, and the beneficent effects it would spread throughout the land ; predicting the blessings of a late posterity on Uie head of its author. Ho wont into Uie question nf tiio necessity of its repeal to re-establish the public credit, arguing to show Uiat such a pretext for repealing it was false and hollow. He predicted Uiat tins recommendation by Uie President would have no better success in securing him a Democratic nomination than his former sacrifices of character and consistency; tlut its only effect would be to increase Uieir los tiling and disgust fcr a man who waa recreant to all his former professions and ready to do any thing to secure Uieir favor. The gentleman from Virginia had concluded hia speech in a manner which caused Mr. G. no little alarm. Tho close was a war flourish about Uie raps., city and grasping ambition of Great Britain, and the audacity of SanU Anna, accompanied with tbeeer sumption of a strong probability Uiat war would come. Mr. G. hoped that war would not come; although he was not wiUiout his fears that Uie party which now unfortunately controlled Uie affairs of the country might, umlur the pressure of t despair which made Uiem willing to hazard Uio cast of any die, even brave Uie miseries of war itself, if it would hold out the chance of retaining power He dwelt on the calamities which were always attendant on a state of warfare tho desolation and suffering, the grinding taxation, Uie augmentation of patronago, tiie weakening of the bonds of law and order, and Uie hazard to all our institutions and expressed his hone in God Umt tho country never would be called to suffer all Uiis for Uie sake of such a person aa John Tyler, or while such a man was at the helm of our affairs. Meanwhile he did not tako Uiis effort at al umt it soemed intended to intimidate Congress and Uie country into an acquiesence with all Uie Executive emands. If war should indeed come, every patriot must support the cause of the country, be our rulers who they might! hia fixed determination wu to put his country first, and do hia duty to her lot who would control her destiny.
