He adverted to a fact which tVj Cooe to hi knowledge tKe dUmUwl of Zmt ot tht! clerk of the pot mce ; ana no anouia te glad to learn i.hethr that kad been done ia fact thev had disclosed t of whether it appeared to the, committee that those ,penpoeedany evidence whichtfieir diainmal M ) intended to weveot, 6X. m i . . , t nn the eve of the adjournment, and after tl.e member of the committee which had investi JoA the matter had tone away. He had mi vsminedthe report and evidence, and he mm- do foundation for the accusation, which ap- neared to be perfectly groundless. He justified this discharge of the clerk, etc. Mr. Gronvenor thought if the postmaster gen r.L after askins the investigation, had dischar gJ clerks with a Tiew to prevent the remainder of the clerk from giving testimony, it was a high contempt of this house, and deserved it severe inimadveraion. He did not know that such was the fact he had no evideuce of it but common , report, etc. lr. Johnson, of Ky. said, that thia was a sub ject in the estimation of the member from N. C. (Mr. Culpepper) sufficiently important to arrest all other business before the house. It is a little tetonishine, said Mr. J. that a member, impress ed with this importance, and which lie would not deny, should make such a motion oue day only previous to the close of the session, w hen the house Ll before it a treat number of Mils, which it waB indispensable tohe acted upon $ not only this, but to make tiiC motion the day after the chairman of the committee had lelt congress, and not tne chair mau only, but other members one from Virginia Mr. Barbour, who was anvious to have the sub ject before the house, but which the house on se veraf occasions, had refused, or nedected if you will, to take it into consideration. Mr. Johnson said, he was equally anxious that the subject should be investigated yes, thoroughly investi gated : for he never had been placed in a situa tion where he w as afraid to accuse or acquit any nersou, if it become hi duty to do so. To meet the wishes of tl.e gentlemen from N. C. he said he would vote to rescind the joint resolution of adjournment, if the proposition was made; for no member could believe that justice could be done to either party, iu so short a time, if the suj) iect was so important. JUr. rorney saw, believing that the merit of this report was not now properly under consider ation, ne should only state in answer to the en quiries made by the hon. gentleman from K. (Mr. M:Kee) that the committee were not inpottsession of any facts relative to the dismissal of the clerks in tlie post-oflice, except what were given by the clerks themselves. Tne committee did not think it tneir duty to enter into an investigation of the motives governing the postmaster general in dis mising these clerks, as he undoubtedly had the pow er to do in that case as he should think pro per. , Had the committee discovered any undue ; 'influence or tampering with the witnesses, it was probable they would then have thought it their duty to have gone into a more particular ex animation of the matter. During this investiga 1 tion, two of the principal clerks in that depart ment stated to the committee that they were de nied access to the books of the office, by which they could be enable! to support the charges. In consequence of this statement, the books thought necessary were demanded by the committee j the evidence resulting from their investigation is be- 'foreihe house. But it is an undeniable fact, that a short time after the commencement of this in . . v i a .,!... vestigauon, these clerks stated that they were removed from the duties they used to, perform, and reduced to do the lowest drudgery in the of fice. While up Mr. F. felt it his duty to state, ' that hie was fully in possession oithe sentiments or the hon, gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Bar- .bour,& member of this committee now absent, in relation lo this report which Mr. F. had been requested to'staXe when this subject should beta- ken up. Mr. iall was detidcdly of opinion with Mr. urosvenor, not mat the a.t:;ouut was ot conse- qi'i hcdipt on principle. If the alledged conduct respecting the, clerks was tolerated, you takeaway ah uiqniry into the coHduct ot the heads ot de- tartmeiits. He knew not that the fact was as had ecu suggested ; but 9h'all we sufl'er men, said Mr. to he discharged, from their public employ ment because they were expected to give evi deuce of improper conduct? He repeated, he knew not that tire fact was so : but il it was he would redress it. He enquired whether a cer tain piece of evidence in his hands respecting the saie of a draft had' been submitted to tne commit tee. , Mr. Creighton stated in reply, that the Circum stance referred to had been the subject of investi -- gation, during the examination of other testimo ny ou oath.

Let me tell you he doe not conceal his disapprobation to our running the boundary line. How ever be received us courteously not so the Little Prince, who shewed us no mark of attention. The Big Warrior s the largest Indian known to us. He is dignified in his demeanor, affable and inviting in his manner t hi ene mie accuse him of cowardice, but I presume his inactivi. ty-of bttcyear is to be ascribed to old age and an un wieldly person. The countenance of the Little Prin ce indicates him to be fierce and cruel, and I am told it does not belie him. It ia perhaps well for the United States, that he is now old and bigotted. There is also another very important personage io the nation I mean ttuf fa mous M'Intosh the same to whom Congress gave a sword for services, Sic and to whom we are more indebt ed tor our victories over the Indians in the late war than some Dersons would be willing to admit.
