political economical coxcombs, whether they
be of the old world or the new, and may, ac
cordingly, congratulate the Americans on the
prospects they have of getting rid of such
quacks as Van Buren, Van " Jackson, and
Mr Amos Kendall."
Here, said Mr B. is a glimpse of. some of
the fruits which the English capitalists expect
to gather from the change of the American
Executive. They expect the Bank of the
United States to be rechartered they expect
the local banks to be freed from all restraint or
subordination to law they expect the balr
loon of paper credit to be again inflated
tbey expect the dear carcass of bank credit to
be revived and reanimated they expect State
credit to be sustained they expect paper dol
lars and shin plasters, post notes and broken
bank notes, to constitute the currency of the
United States, while our gold and silver goes
to them: this is what they expect; and as the
preliminary measure as the first step U wards
all these English advantages, they expect that
insane piece of legislation, called the Inde
pendent Treasury, to be knoc ked on the head.
Yes, sir, knocked on the head! That is the
command the British order! Knock it on
the head! Strike it on the forehead! Kill it,
like a dog! Such is the order to the Ameri
can Congress, which comes from the High
Tory press of Great Britain!
Mr President, continued Mr B. you may
recollect the part which it fell upon me to
sustain during the revolt of the Bank of the
United States against the country during
the veto the panic and the expunging ses
sions and how I was accostomed to answer
upon the spot all the speakers of tha Opposi
tion, replying, not only to their speeches
generally, but to their arguments in detail.
My friends were often surprised at the promp
titude and fulness of these replies. They
have often expressed astonishment at it; and
now, sir, l ean tell you how it happened. I
always observed the instructions of the militia
captain to his beginners. in the manual exer-
ise: I kept my eye upon the "fugleman!"
1 kept it upon the liank press in Philadel
phia. From that press I could always learn
before Congress met, what it was that Con
gress would be required to do not only the
thing itself which was required but the mode
of doing it, and all the arguments for it.
These, I clipped from the papers, and laid by
for use: aud when the session came on, and
the measures were moved, and the speeches
delivered in favor of them, I. was ready for
action: I was ready for the reply. Thus I
kept myself, semper paralus always ready
-during that long contest with the British
power, impersonated in the miscalled Bauk
of the United Slates. That institution is as
much British as ever, and more too. It is
British in tota now; but it ha3 managed too
badly sunk too low dojue too much damage
to its owners abroad to be allowed any long
er to take a lead in the British affairs in
America; il is reduced to the condition of an

Mr B. resumed his readings from London
papers, and read from the London Times
of September last, soon after the Maine elec
tion: ' Among their distinguished leaders may
be ranked Governor Fairfield of Maine,
whose fanaticism was countenanced, if not
excited, by the President and cabinet. But
'the sceptre has passed from Judah,' and one
of the beneficial results, it is hoped, will be a
Settlement of this vexed question. If it can
not be arranged without an appeal to arms,
(which no rational man will believe, the soon
er this fact is known the better. General
Harrison will come into power with tho most
pacific views. He will bo surrounded and
sustained by men under the influence of simi
lar sentiments."
Mr B. saidthis was a most pregnant para
graph, and went beyond any that had been
quoted. It went into the field of foreign
politics, and rejoiced that a Democratic can
didate for Governor was defeated that the
sceptre had departed from the land of Judah
Besides this, it goes into the sentiments of
General Harrison assumes to know his
policy his foreign policy h is policy in re
Jatiou to England and declares that to be
pacific. Here, then, is an English High
Tory Editor assuming to know the senti
ments of one of our candidates for the Presi
dency who would make no declaration of
sentiments for the information of his own
fellow-citizens. More that! this: he assumes
to know the Cabinet! to know the gentlemen
who are to surround the General, aud to sus
tain him! and lhat these sre title men are under
the influence of similar sentiments ! that is to
say, under the influence of a pacific policy
towards England ! This is really curious,
and leads the mind back upon past events, as
well as conducts it forward upon coming
ones. The sentiments of a Presidential can
didate, unknown here, to be known in Lon
don; the new Cabinet to be known there, be
fore the election was over here; and the
sentiments of this Cabinet declared to be
favorable to English interests. These are
curious revelations, and throws the mind back
upon the voyage of a distinguished Federal
gentleman from this country to England in
1839 hia renunciation there of his canvass
for the Presidency his espousal of the cause
of General Harrison the immediate forth
coming of tho whole British interest, political
and pecuniary, in favor of the General and
the declarations from so many books, letters,
nnd nnwsnaners. that on his election depen
ded tho pacific settlement of the boundary
question, the payment of the State debts, and
the rise in value of all sorts of American
stocks. The mind is forced back upon these
recollections; and, while cautious justice may
withhold a judgment, keen-eyed vigilance is
required to be wide awake. The new Ad
ministration may be American, but thus far
the signs are British.
Mr B. was done with his quotations done,
for the present, with bis production of evi
dence to establish a foreign interference in
the late Presidential election. There was
another large and distinct-branch of the same
subject, to which he would make no allusion
now, but which he might explore on some fu
ture occasion. A few remarks on. an inci
dental point, and he would conclude. It has
been supposed, said Mr B. that in alleging
a foreign interference in our election, I was
also alleging an application of foreign money
to the voters, and accounting for the loss of
the election by supposing that all these voters
had been bribed. No such thing was said or
intended no such thing was thought or in
sinuated. I ?poke of the interference; and
not of its effect its degreeor even its
mode of operating. All this was opening a
field which I did not choose to enter: hi,? T
am very ready to say, that the application of
muiiey io uie mass ot uie vclers, is not the
way that the foreign moneyed power operates;
that when money is applied at' all. it i nt n
the mass, but to leading men, and confiden
tial agents that it is deliver, nnrl h.. In
large sums. The mass are operated upon
through the markets and the public intelligen
cers. Markets are reduced, tlmoo or.
bard, the money market is tightened, the
mass are aisiressea; and all these evils, thev
are taught to believe, flow from the misgov
ern meut and misrule of those in oower. This
is the way a foreign moneyed power inter-
leres in the atiurs ot a tree State; and, un
happily, our affairs, our trade and currency,
are in foreign hands in English hands. An
English minister once had the audacity to
say to Europe that Esgland held the tempests
in her hand.' The English capitalists may
say to our America, without impudence, and
with pertect truth, that they hold our finan
ces in their hand ! The baseness of our
paper system its dependence upon London
the fatal power of the Bank of the United
States an English institution all place our
currency, our business, our markets, our
prosperity or misery, under British control.

in one year, or it may take three; in either even it
is a larger salary than ' the Governor gets. Here
the Common School Law is to go into operation,
and the Treasury is empty. Where is the money
to come from ? Our credit is giren to the two rail
roads, and of course THE PEOPLE MUST
BE TAXED. Was there ever known in tlds State,
such a Slate of affairs ? The railroads will borrow
money on the credit of theStaf; a line of steamboats
may started between New York,&New Orleans,
touching a:Charleston(for we s e arrangements have
been made to accomplish it); all tha trav.l may go
that way, and the State may have to pay the dobts
of the rail road. All these things are working to-"
gether : and what du the people think of their whi
reformers ? B.-fore 2 years, their taxes may badou
b'ed lb'ir Common School system go down for
lack of Treasury support, whilst this sub-Treasurer
i living more splendidly than the whig Governor,
on what would have educated many a poor man's
son.
The law obliges the Treasure to jrive an official
bond in the sum of 8250,000 ; his official burthens
are not heavy, and if thy w re, it was easy to give
him a c!erk at S500, that b- ing the s;dary (we are
informed,) of the present cleik. these bonds
amount to $5300,000 : the Treasurer had onlv to do.
what all other Treasurers, heretofore have had to do,
eive public notice to Uie deotors to pay their bonds
into the Treasury, and in case any were delinquent
commence suit against them in Wako Superior
Court, right under his nose.
But instead of this, our economical reform whig
Legislature, have directed the Governor to appoint
a Sub -Treasurer, in effect, and he is allowed 3 per
cent., or Sp3,000 on the whole amount. A. mere p e-
tence te create an oltice to increase the executive
patronage, and reward some unprincipled partizan
with ihe enorn.ous spoils of $9,0t0, whose Iung3 ae
yet sore with crying out s-poits ajjaint the present
administration. And having authority to sue he
must employ a lawer and his tees wilt constitute
another charge upon the pub'ic treasury. True, he
might not be able to collect all in one year and
yet he might too, that is only conjectural, but if he
collectrd them within 2 or 3 years, it would be the
largest salary ever known in this State. A constable
is at oweo no commission a onerin nut ! per
ce it., even on the smallest claim, but on such a large
amount as this, it is enormous t especially when there
was not the least necess ty tor it.
Itcannot be vindicated it deserves execration ! ! !
It is paying an ajient to do the Treasurer's duty,
and a lawyer to do the duty of the Attorney Gen
eral.
Were judgments had on the bonds of delinquents,
the Sheriff would collect, and the defendant would
have to pay his commissions, so the State would not
be obliged to pay one cent. But here we have S9,000,
and lawyers lies, against nothing, shame! un
blushing shame ! ! !
Wo.se still ! The Treasurer is directed by a re
solution to borrow gj70,U U to pay tho current ex
penses of the Government whilst here that sum
may he for 3 months at least in the hands of the
Sub-Treasurer, who by the law is only compelled to
p iy over quarterly. "Worse still ! You have a
Comptroller to check the daily accounts and one -
rations of the Treasurer but this officer may use
the public money and fabiicate false statements,
like Mr Bidd e s Bank, to deceive the people.
Worse still ! ! ! He has a certain discretion al

subdue enemies.
Worse still ! T I I Ihe (jrovernor has power to

day last, the day of General Harrison's arrival in
this city, was ushered in by an " old fashioned
snowstorm." He, however, made his appearance
from the cars, and was received by an immense
concourse of citizens. The barouche of an old in
habitant was instantly tendered him, but with all
the urbanity which becomes the ruler of a Republic,
he bowed non-acquiescence, and endured the " pelt
ings of the pitiless storm" among the foot proces
sion, escorted, on one side by the Mayor of Wash
ington, and on the o?her by Petvr Force, Esq.,, to
Gadsby's Hotel. The General on the Thursday
following, received the cordialities of the ladies at
the Cify Hall, and has subsequently dined with
Mr Van Buren, and paid his respects to the neigh
boring cit' of Georgetown. To-nir-ht, a fete in
honor of the President "elect, is to be given at Gads
by's. The whole area within the front and wings
of the building has been covered in as an extensive
temporary edifice, in which the votaries at Pleasure's
shrine will have a chance of joining in the " mystic
dance." I presume, howevar, that the General will
be but a looker on, as his age and conscien

of the members of the Upper Assembl3', who were

Mark the Fact!
The Observer, the federal paper printed in this
town, says, the only objection stated by the Globe,
to Mr Bidder, is the deadly sin of federalism. We
informed the public last week, (of w hat every body
knew before,) that Mr Badger is a federalist; and
mark the fact, the Observer does not deny it, and we
are informed Mr Badger docs not deny it himself.
Now, is it possible, that the who'e Southern inter
est is to have but one representative in the Cabinet,
and he an ultra federalist. Are the people of the
South going to put up with this ? Aro they going
to give up their interest entirely, to tho North and
West. Are they willing to have a high tariff, and
a distribution of the proceeds of the p blic lands to
pay off the British d-bts of the Internal Improve
ment States ? Oh ye dupes of federalism ! it serves
ye right. You have turned out your democratic
President with his Southern democratic Secretary of
State, and his southern democratic Secretary of
War, and you have put in a federalist, with but one
southern man in the Cabinet, and he a federalist
opposed to the mass opposed to a popular govern
ment ; a man whose popularity at home csuld not
even elect him to his own State Legislature ! A
man, who fined a ichits man $1,250, for flogging a
mulatto ; a man, than whom, a greater enemy to the
mass, could not have been picked out of the State.
These are facta, and who dare deny them, dare do
any thing. And why was this man made Secretary
of the Navy? It is a fact that none but barefaced
partizans will deny, that in consequence of his not
being ejected to the United States Senate, on ac
count of Western opposition, the whig caucus pro
mised to recommend him to General Harrison for
Attorney General, and the General thought perhaps,
as he lived in a far and turpentine country, he
would do for the Navy. No ! had it not been for
his log cabin services, he never would have been in
the Cabinet, in the world.

coming under my observation as I deem of interest

The report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
relating to the burning of the steamboat Caroline,
on the Niagara rivi'r, during the Canada outbreak,
and the arrest and detention of McLeod, was pre
sented to the House of Representatives on Friday
last, by the chairman, Mr Pickens, and has elicited
much speculation as to its general tenor, and the
view which the committee intended to convey to
tho public mind. It is certainly an uncommonly
elaborate and interesting document, comprising as
it does a true picture of the position in which the
individual in question is placed, and fairly elueidat-

ing Congress to express certain resolutions, with a
view to the alleviation of the hardships of those un
fortunate American prisoners, who were sent to Van
Dietnan's Land, by the British Government, for as
sisting the Canadians in their revolt, in 1837. It
was laid upon the table.
The bill authorizing the State of Tenneseca to
issue grants and titles to certain lands therein de
scribed, &c, was taken up. Mr Graham, of North
Carolina, wished to have the price of the land fixed
at $1 25peracre, instead of 12 cents, and extend

some length. Tho amendment was disagreed to,
and ihu bill passed.
A joint resolution authorizing the Secretary of the

Ths Civil and Diplomatic appropriation bill be-
ng under consideration, Mr Andrews moved to
strike out the salary of the Secretary for signing
and patents. Mr Li nco'n said there bad not been
sued since 1836, a patent that was valid, because
the Secretary, instead of signing the President's
name, as the law directs, had signed his own. Tho
duty was, however, too laborious for the PresiJent
to attrnd to. Tho motion was not asrecd to.
Mr Jenifer, again spoke in reply to Mr Wise, in

said he had intended to be a silent spectator in the
House this Session, but such had been the extraor
dinary, unprovoked and unjust course of certain
gentk men, it would be an act of treachery, if not
treason, to his constituents, t a remain silenr. The
question pending was the motion to strike out the
appropriations for the Branch Mints of North Caro
lina, Georgia, and New Oikans. Mr Bynum said
that all th'j committees on expenditures had a whig
chairman, and three whigs to two damocrals, and if
all the extravagance complained of had bein true,
why d d they not establish their posit on. Mr B.
showed by figures f. om tha report ot the Secretary of
the Treasury,, that the people had paid a tax to
banks, since the organization of the Government,
sufficient to carry on its operations. The question
was debated to the adjournment of the House, before
which the question was taken, and the motion to
strike out the appropriation was rejected, and by
democratic influence; "and 'North Caro'ina may
thank her democratic representatives, that she has

ment and reform, and yet be told that this system
does not require the pruning- knife ?" We beg the
public, however, to recollect, that the whigs are now
in power, therefore, retrenchment and reform, are
banished from their .vocabulary. They cannot bare
to be shorn of any of the spoils.

der, committed on the 30th ult., in Perry
county, Mo. James Layton beat his wife's
brains out, in the presence of one of his chil
dren, and afterwards broke her legs and arms
and otherwise abused her lifeless person, in a
worse than savage manner. He then gather
ed his children, five in number, together, and
sent them to a relative's, and deca mped. At
the last accounts he had not been taken,
though a strong scout was after him. He
was not an intemperate man, and no cause is
assigned for the act. Sun.
