The Senate having, on motion of
Mi. Mangum, resumed the consid
eration of a memorial presented by
liim, Wine day ago, from a number
of citizens of Burke county, North
Carolina,, mnoiistrating against
the measure of .the removal of the
Public Deposites from the Bank of
, the United States
Mr. Mangum rose, and said, that
" ho had," upon at former occasion j
moved to lay this memorial and rtS-
, 4utims,yin the;.tab toKfoahk
tlto Senator from Pennsylvania to
proceed in the debate upon the
principal , question. Remarks hay-

resuming the consideration of it, at
ar early - period as toe sute ot- tlic
business and the Convenience of the
Senate would alio. No earlier
occasion bavine offered, he w. ild
no proceed to
bestow .thal&fl'
notice on the subject, which the re
marks of gentlemen seemed neces
sarily ta suffsrest.- The resolutions

a passing notice, 'thy had, how
ever, elicited much debate, Aiid had

and esiiecially that they had cmanat-
: vindicatedr" Bot" conceived,7 bjra
disappointed ' political ' character.
Something was aaidlof pt -house
pjliticians," and .miscrab!c peti
tions.: Mr. Mangura said he had
6tated, npoa the presentation of the
resolutions, that they had been a-
Uopted; aa bei had: beca :iufofmed;
' without distinctien of party, and that
they might be regarded as embody
ing the sentiments ot a large majori
ty of tbe intelligent and substantial
freemen of that fine and prosperous
region of North Carolina, lie had,
bince that statement was made, avail
ed himself sedulously of all the
means of information within his
reach, and he had; seen letters that
morning; and the result had been to
add strength to his 'first impres
sions, in reference to the state of pub
lic sentiment in the mountain re
gion of North Carolina, and to ena
ble hiin to state,' with confidence,
iiiiatAiiii!r..eiiiment-.p.erYaueu
large majority of the entire State.
The resolutiousdid not, therefore,
lu his opiuion, emanate from parti
san feeling, and party prejudice,
but were the result of a strong sentic
of the general inconvenience, not to
say distress, brought upon that nor-,
-tmttf therountry by the usurpation .
and abnse jff ppwef on tuc part of ihe
Executive. "
Mr. M. aaid hfa information de.
ieived bin! awHt grosslyy if, thi imgh
wit tlie whole Sttc of North Caro
opposition to the Administration up
on the fleposite . nuestioili, is. not
wholly unparalleled upon any other
great question emanating from, an
Executive or their own choice. . '
The remark in reference to a sup
posed disappointed political charac
terrh could not tnisundcrstandrand
Iyait - compelled to regard it as ex
ceedingly tmjutt, and still more onr
Kind. Ho understood it to refer to
R his' honorable ahd most excellent

true, fha remark was nrrnmnanied
WilhUie admission that lie was an
honorable man, well , enUtled to all

jears as harsh and unkind. Mr. M.
om no uaq anown Mr. uarson long
and intimately, arjd he believed th
estimate he had formed of im, was
held in common by all whir knew
hirathat a man of higher honor,

ground for the lmputatbnthat

mere partisan efforts, we hall pro
bably have evidence oT it iiii another
branch nf Congress. Lrttcfore
we make too certain of it, see what
will be the vote of the member re
presenting that district, v
Mr. M. said he knew that honora
ble member well; he knew him lo be
a warmly attached friend to -the
Administration, and- that he would
regret the adoption by it of any line
of policy, from w hich a sense of duty
ffufj 'Trttnpct'
bun to depart, lhat lie was well
acquainted "with the sentiments of
his district, and would truly repre
sent them, did not admit of question.
Mr. M. said, he knew the honortblj
member by his firmness of purpose;
and the sterling character of his
virtues was equal to any exigency,
to the performance of every duty.
We shall see what his course will be,
and iff am not greatly mistaken,
said Mr. M. it will fully vindicate
air that I have said- p tbi$ subject.
So firm, said Mr. M. is my belief,
that the state of publie sentiment in
the western part of North Carolina
is as"I have represented itrthafl do

the real people; not oUice holders or

have nothing to ask from the Gov.
eminent but justice and moderation
and a wise economy, that I look for
the public sentiment. 1 do not mean,
said Mr. M. to convey the idea, that
there is no party in North Carolina,
that supports ith zeal and anxiety,
the w bole course of the Administra
tion in reference to the deposites.
1 know full well there is such a
party; small I believe it to be; but
by force of a severe drill and exact
discipline, it will be felt in all its
evjdutioog.au
despised. A party animated by
principle of ambition, as active and
almost as dangerous as poison, with
its eye steadily fixed upon the eleva
tion of the Executive favorite, and
its. heart upon the. loaves aud fishes,
and Cesh pots, and all those good
things, that Jcimie lIu the trainof
