publication of the communications, . alluded
to in said resolutions, would or would not be
prejudicial to existing negotiations, they find
a strong objection, on the part of the Presi
dent, to the publication of those communica

fidence, and mojt of them in compliance
with a resolution of the Senate requesting
them confidentially. , And, although the
Senate have the Tight to publish communi
cations so made, and to discuss the same with
open doora, without th assent of the Presi
dent, when, in their opinion, the public in
terest may require such publication and such
discussion, they do not th'nlc that present
circumstances require the exerciser of this
right, so far as respects a discussion of those
confidential communications with open duora.

The doors of th House were accordingly

that the bill sent front the Senate having

be, " Shall the said bill be read the second

19, it is most remarkable, said Mr. R. that
there was not one from the old dominion, and
but 4 from any of the States south of the Ohio
i. the Potomac, among them was Mr. Barnabus
utdwell, who commenced his career at that
session Of this bill there was itot one trace
to be discovered, it is probable that it passed
this body unanimously, or it may be inferred
that there was no opposition to it. If it could
be found any where, it must be in the other
House. - '
This suspension of the pnvtlese of the, writ
of habeas corpus, said Mr. n. was the first
oblation made by the' present executive of
the United States to power when he eave in
his adhesion, and deserted his federal friends.
He knew by a voice, who acted as his spon
sor, who promised and vowed certain things
in his name, in his political baptism: by that
voice, which was now loudly calling on him to
exonerate him tram all further responsibility
on his account, to ome forward St get another
endorser, for he must take his namfl off his
paper. 1 have always wondered, said Mr.
R. that this fact was never brought forward
during the late Presidential campaign. Mr.
R. here made some remarks which we did
not hear distinctly, in the course of which he
paid a deserved compliment to the Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court, remarking, that
however he might frequently have differed
from that gentleman, that he had never lost
sight of the immeasurable distance between
them; tor when he met witu men ot talent,
he could yield that precedence, which would
he never give to any assumption of superior
merit. ....'v
Of all stretches of power, this suspension
of the privilege of habeas corpus, was the
most extraordinary, it was made in the very
teeth of the Constitution, which declares,
" that the privilege of the writ of Iiabeas
corpus shall not be suspended, unless, when,
in case of rebellion or invasion, the public
safety mav reauire it " It waa like a restric
tion upon the liberty of the press. There waa
then no rebellion or invasion, and he had no
hesitation in suyuitr that the canaille was the
canaille of this trinity in unity, of this com
mittee. There was no message to be found
on the journal from the President of the U.
States, recommending the measure. 1 he bill
waa passed. - To that suspension he was in
debted for bia seat io the House of Repre
sentatives. The election for members of Con
gress took place in March, and this bill was
the panoply under which he had shielded
himself; and said Mr. R. I carried on the war
for seven years against, the general govern
ment, the slate government and all the pres
ses in the state. The people of the district
retained their confidence, and they have ever
been a sanctuary to which I could fly for re
fuge. He repeated his surprize that this sub
ject had not been brought up in the Presiden
tial canvass, though he would not meddle
With It: tt was not for linn to do it, for he
cared not who the adder bit; be had no choice
among the competitors. He begged leave of
the Senate to submit the following motion:
Resolved; 1 bat a message be sent to the
House of Representatives, to request that the
Senate be furnished with an official copy of
the bill passed by the Senate, entitled "An
act to suspend the privilege ot the writ of
Iiabeas Corpus for a limited time, in certain
cases." ,";
The Question being put on the ' nas&ac-e nf
the resolution, Mr, Bell rose to remark, that
for himself he wanted time to consider upon
it, and that be should move Uiat,fot the pre-
' It being suggested that the resolution, by
the usage of the Senate, would lie one day
on the table of cou-se, the motion wss with

Mr. Randolph rose, and addressed the Sen

resolution wtucn no submitted yesterday, and
on various topics connected with that and
other political incidents in the history of the
country, particularly oa the report made (by
Mr. John Quincy Adams) from the srlec com
