President's Message.
TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.
This body has got into a considerable
narl about the Election of United Slates
Senators. A joint resolution had passed"
bo Houses proposing to go into the elec
tion on the 2nd inst., but when that day
arrived no quorum ou'.d be got, as the
Democrats refused to go into convention,
contending that the election should be made
ty each House in its separate and organ
ized capacity. The attempt to go into
convention was . made every day success
ively by the Whigs, till Tuesday the 7th
inst., when, finding the effort fruitless, it
dissolved sine die' The Legislature "was
expected to adjourn in a day or two after
ward, and a general, resignation of the
members to take place, so that the matter
may be submitted to the people of the
State. Which party is right ? We con
fess, that, wi-h the lights at present before
us, the course of our friends there seems
to us not only impolitic but wrong. We
shall wait, however, for further develop
ments before we make up a decided opin
ion. The President's Message was spread
before our readers in last week's paper 1
and they have no doubt formed their opin
ions of the views and plans of the Exccu.
tive. How this document has been receiv
ed try the party which brought Mr. Tyler
into power, we cannot as yet say; though
we think we might venture to guess, that
they view it, as they would any other doc
ument of the kind, very scatleringly.
Some of them, no doubt, give their sup
port to the President's Fiscal Scheme ;
some are opposed to it; while others arc nei
ther Acre nor there in the matter. Those,
however, who wish to do President Tyler
justice, wiJl not form their opinions of his
plan from the fact, that his party is divided
on it; for, though we think as badly of it
as Senator Benton does, wc, feel sure that
neither Mr. Tyler, nor any one else, could
devise a plan which would suit the views
of all his party. This could not be expect
ed. That party is of loo heterogeneous a
nature to unite on any subject cordially.
During the List Session, it was only by
party drilling and log-rolling that any
measures could be carried, an J we have
discovered since no signs of a nearer ap
proach to unity of sentiment.
This Session will, . therfore, most prob
ably pass off much like the last, in com
promises like this, "you pass this bill for
us, and we'll pass that one for you"
Whether the rights of the minority will
be respected any more in this scramble, re
mains to be seen ; but we are in hopes that
the late elections have taught these Feder
alist a lesson which will not be forgotten by
them. They have, we think, learned, that,
though it was easy to stifle debate in the
Hall's, of Congress, it is very difficult to
keep the people from finding it out and re
senting it.
1. COiNGKESS.
o fr, the proceedings of this body have
been enUrely destitute of interest, no im
portant measure having yet been brought
forward in e.ither branch.. . In the House of
Representatives, on the 12ihJ inst., Mr.
- Adams presented several abolition petitions,
which were refused under the 2 1st rule.
; Mr. Adan'i also presented a petition pray
ing for the repeal of the 2Ut rule, and
moved to refer it to a select Committee
This gave rise to some debate ; after, which
the question was taken, and resulted in a
tie ayes 90, nays DO. The chair having
voted in the affirmative, the motion was
carried. A point of order was then raised
that any petition which gives rise to de
bate must lie over for one day which was
entertained by the chair ; and under it, he
decided, that this petition must lie over.
We have not noticed any thing else in
the proceedings of either House worth
recording.
" try We thank "Scrap -saver" for his
interesting "bundle" and shall frequently
draw upon it for the entertainment of
our readers. From it, we give, on our
fourth page this week, the "chapter on
Cats."
EXTRAVAGANCE.
OT" One of the most grievous sins charg
ed on the Administration of Mr. Van Bu
ren, was its alleged extravagance; and this
"charge, perhaps, operated more to his de
feat than any other trumped t.p during the
campaign by the thousand malignnnt and
lying spirits of Federalism. The charge
was seen in glaring capitals in every Fed
eral sheet and dwelt upon by every Feder
al stump orator in the land ; and John M.
Morehead went so far as to make "extrav
agance at Washington" the cause of all our
woes. Every one now must see the falsi
ty of the charge, or that, if true against Mr.
Van Bnren, it may be urged with much
greater force against the party at present
in power. The President's Message tells
a tale which all can understand. From it,
we learn that the party which was to ad
minister the Government on fifteen mil
lions of dollars, has, in the very first 3-ear
of its dominion, run the expenditures up to
more than thirty-two millions, or some
six or seven millions more than those of
Mr. Van Buren's last year! The expen
ditures in the last year of Mr. Van Buren'3
term for ordinary purposes, were not more
than abo-ut twenty-two millions, and for all
purposes, if we recollect aright, not more
than twenty-six millions. If his adminis
tration was extravagant, what are wc to
think of the present one, which in its first
year spends more than thirty-two millions?
There is another fact disclosed by the
message, which ought not to escape the no
lice of the public, viz: that, notwithstan
ding the ample provision made by the last
Congress in the issue of Treasury notes,
and notwithstanding the twelve million
loan authorized by the extra Session of the
present Congress, there will be at the end
of this year a considerable deficiency in
the means of the Government, which will
have to be supplied by increased taxes up
on the people or by further loans. When
did the expenditures of Mr. Van Buren in
one year ever exceed the available means
of the Government ?
Among the man' objectionable doctrines
advanced in the President's message, none
has surprised us more than that which is
thus noticed in the Western Carolinian.
Mr. Tyler, it is known, pretends to be a
State Rights .man of the strictest sect:
"There is, however, one recommenda
tion contained in it from which we entirely
dissent, and against which we strongly
protest as advising a direct and unwarrant
ed encroachment on i!ie rights of the Stales.
After mentioning the case of McLeod, and
i's satisfactory settlement by trial in il e
State- of -New ork, the message pro
ceeds to say: " 'I cannot fail, however, to
suggest to Congress the'propriety, and in
some decree the necessity, of making such
provisions by law, so far as they may con
stitutionally do so, for the removal, at their
commencement, and at the option of the
party, of ail such cases as may hereafter
arise, and which may involve the faithful
observance and execution of our National
obligations, from the State to the Federal
Judiciary.' "
"We can perceive neither "the proprie
ty" nor "the necesity" of making any such
provision as this and apart from both, we
deny that Congress lias any power what
ever to undertake the "making such pro
visions." If the laws of a sovereign Stale
are violated either by foreign vagabonds
like McLeod, or by any others the Slate
can take cognizance of the offence at her
own tribunals, without either interference
or aid from the Federal authorities, and we
much mistake the spirit of our people if the
States wojld submit to any arbitration of
the Federal Judiciary in cases involving
their separate rights and sovereignty."
Halloo. Mr. Prewett, of th Mississippi
Creole ! Hear what the Yorkville Com
piler says about Jon:
"The Democrats hare carried Mississip
pi, in despite of Ihe preat and unprecedent
ed exertions of the Whigs. There was no
apathy there, lr. Lincoln Republican ,
but a certain crtole editor, who will make
more exeuses in one number for bis defeat

We saw a drove of! porkers pass-through
here yesterday, one reddish old barrow
carried his tail any thing but gracefully be
tween his legs; '"that's Prewett,"; says
we. hut the offended dignitary "unfolded
a tail" with an enormous grunt, which- has
been translated by our devil into "I be shot
if it is,"
Proscription. Mr. Trist, late our able,
honest, and fearless consul at Havana, has
been removed to make room fir one of the
shouters for "Tip and Ty" in the last Pre
sidential election ? Of the new consul's
private . character and qualifications for the
station, we know nothing; but in our
opinion Mr. Trist's unt.irnished honor and
the sacrifices he has made, and the wrongs
he has endured in the manly performance
of his duty, rendered him the Ust man who
ought to have been displaced to make
room for any one. We cannot doubt until
we know the causes of nis removal, that
he is the victim of those malignant bad men
whose oppression he restrained and whose
intrigues he defeated. What of fidelity or
honesty is to be expected in public officers
when their virtues are punished as if they
were crimes againsl the State?

DETENTION OF AMERICAN SHIPS
BY BRITISH CRUISERS
The strong and decisive closing letter of
Mr. Stevenson to Lord Aberdeen, which
sums up the arguments maintaining his
protest against the seizure and subjection
of American ships at ihe will of -the com
manders of British cruisers in the African
seas, will be found in our columns. We
have not room in our columns for the whole
correspondence, and it is not necessary to
a full understanding of the subject discuss
ed to wade through it, as Mr. Stevenson in
the last letter succinctly, clearly, and with
the utmost fairness, recapitulates the
ground insisted on by Lord Palmerston in
the correspondence with him, while direct
ing the course of the British Administra
tion in relation to the subject, and thru sub
sequently held with Ins successor. It will
be seen that both assert the right for Great
Britain of searching our vessels in the Af
rican seas, and subjecting them to detention
and. examination by British sea captains
and as a necessary conspqnence to suffer
all the humiliation, all the harrassment, all
the wrong, which a petty tyrant command
ing a British cruiser may choose to inflict.
Mr. Sievenson, in his letters to Lord Pal
merston, brought up the question of this
right of search, (now urged upon new pre
texts,) by asking reparation for outrages
which several American merchant vessels
had suffered from such hnnds. The repar
ation was not made, notwithstau ling it was
.clear that the ships seized were American,
and that no pretext of the employment of
fafse colors, nor any other justification
growing out of the character of the vessels
relied on by the British ministry, could be
maintained to excuse the refusal to make
the indemnity demanded.
One of the most singular circumstances
connected with this engrossing question is,
that although Mr. Stevenson hegan his re
monstrances against the British attacks on
tt.e American flag as far back as the month
of November, during which the elections
brought the present Administration in
to power, yet he had mil received at the
close of his mission, from the present au
thorities of his Government, a word of in
struction in regard to the rights, which he
felt it his duty to maintain. And yet t will
be seen from the message, that not another
foreign power was thought of during this'
whole period by the Administration but that
of England. The public will be surprised
10 find that our great ally, France that
Russia Austria all the States of Europe,
are overlooked in the message; a thing
without precedent in any similar state pa
per and that the whole of that portion of
it in which our otcretary of State always
submits to the country the condition, of our
foreign relations, is engrossed in making
suggestions, with which he boors Great
Britain will lie 's.itixfied." lie hopes, in
regard to the McLt-od affair, ihat"ic dioh
ncr in which ihe issue submitted was xried
will satisfy the Fnglish Government,"'
&c. With regard to the Caroline affair,
while admitting that urgent necessity would
justify it, "he cannot but indulge the hope
that the British Government will see the
propriety of renouncing, as a rule for fu
ture action the precedent which has been
set at Schlosser.,, With regard to the
seizure and wrongs committed on Ameri
can ships on the coast of Africa, he hopes
that "mutual stipulations ma' be made sa
tisfactory to Great Britain; and if not, in
timates the thought that our Government
may possibly be bound by the conventions
which England lias or shall make on the
subject with other powers; and, by way
of showing the alacrity with which the;
Administration enters into the views of the
British Cabinet, he recommends to Con
gress a: once to take Irom the otate juris
dictions the cognizance c.f such crimes as
were imputed to McLeod. We are no:
told that this is at the demand of the British
Government, but it is in strict compliance
with the exaction of the London Times,
the Tory official.

STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
The following remarks from the Union
Democrat, meet our views so precisely on
the subject of American statues that we
transcribe them entire. To tin it appears
absurd, that sculpture, which should be a
part of history, should represent to poster
ity any thing and every - thing that belies
the customs, manners and costume of ihe
The Statue of Washington was placed
upon its pedestal in the rotundo of the Cap
itol on Wednesday last, v The pedestal is
about eight feet high. 1 The statue, as stat
ed by Governor Everett a short time since,
represents Washington sitting, the up
per part of his person in a state of nudity,
the right hand raised, though scarcely
pointing ta Heaven,"; but rather, in the at
titude in which a strong man would place
it to strike- a heavy blow. He holds in
his left hand a Roman sword around the
the lower part of his body is a Jlomun dra
pery and upon his feet are Roman san
dals. The position is certainly a very sin
gular one. It represents Washington nei
ther as a citizen, a soldier, or statesman,
nor in any attitude in which he ever ap
peared upon any important occasion; and
what is infinitely worse, there t nothing
American about it even the chair is orna
mented with a lion's head, which might as
wtll have been and eagle's. Is an Ameri
can costume unworthy to be represented
upon the statue of an American citizen
whose memory nbjve all others the Amer
ican people delight -to honor? Can any
thing be conceived more out of place than
a Riman dress upon Washington? and
are not his feet the last that should wear
the Roman sandals ?

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
r
We are glad to see manifestations of the
true spirit in regard to the Convention of
the 10th or January. We trust the same
feeling will operate throughout all our bor
ders, and that every County will send Del
egates to this important meeting. We
respectfully recommend to our Democrat
ic Republican brethren, to appoint no proxy
if it can possibly be avoided, but let us see
the Representees of the undismayed De
mocracy of the Old North State, in their
own proper persons. A regard for the
sacred principles of equal rights ; for
measures producing the "greatest good to
the greatest number," impels us to a parti
cipation in the Councils of the Convention;
the signs of the times invite 11s to action ;
because success is before us, and triumph
within the reach of our exertions. We
would not be instrumental in creating ex
citment, or in holding out delusive hopes.
But we tell our friends they can carry the
State if they will. Not by hard-cider car
ousals and coon-skin revels ; not by ap
peals to the passions and appetites of the
people ; not by falsehood, chicanery and
humbug but by truth and truth only, so
berly, justly, righteously administered.

For thk Congressional Globe and
Appendix. .
nnHESE works have now been published by
us for ten consecutive sessions of Congress,
commencing with the session of 1632-3. '1 hey
have had such wide circulation, and have ten so
universally approved and sought after by the pub
lic, that we deem it necessary nuly in this prospec
tus to say that they will be continued ' at the next
session of Congress, and to stale, succinctly, .their
contents, the form in which they will be printed,
and the prices for them.
The Congressional Glohe is mule up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress.
ngsotthe two Houses oi congress.
The SDcechcs
ot tl.c memtrs are at.riugcj, or 10.,-
densed. to bring thesu into a reasonable, or read
ble h-ngth. All the resolutions olleied, or mo
tions maJe, are given at length, in the mover's own
words ; and the yeas and nays on ull the impor
tant questions. It is printed with small type
brevier and nonpareil on a double royal sheet,
in quarto form, each number containing 16 roysl
quarto pages. It is printed as fas as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number usually oue number, but sometimes two
numU-rs, a week. We have invariably printed,
more numbers that there wcie weeks in a session.
The approaching session of Congress, it is exac
ted, will continue 7 months ; if so, subscribers
may expect between 30 and 40 numbers, which,
together, will make between 500 and 600 rojal
quarto pages. "
The Appendix is made up of the FBr.sirr.sT's
annual message, the reports of the principal pincers
of the Government that accompany it, and all the
long speeches of members of Congress, written out
or revised by themselves. It is printed in the J
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usual
ly makes about the same number of pages. Here
tofore, on account of the set speeches being so nu- i
meious and so long, we have not completed th
Appendix until one or two months after the close
of ihe session : but. in future, we intend to print
the eprecches as fast as they shall be prepared,
and of course shall complete the work within a
few day after the adjournment. ,
Each of these works is complete in iiscu ; uui n
necessary for every subscriber who desires a
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to
have both ; because, then, if there should le any
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or any de
nial of its correctness, as published in the Congres
sional Globe, the reader may turn to the Appendix
to see the speech at'Iength, corrected by tlie uiemoer
himself. '-
Now. there is no source hut the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which a person can ob
tain a full history of the proceedings of Congress.
Gales and Beaton's Register of Debates, which
contained a history, has been discontinued for
three or four year. It cost about live limes as
much for a session as the Congressional Globe and
Appendix, and did not contain an equal amount
of matter, a great portion of the current proceedings
being omitted. W c are enabled to print the Con
gressional Globe and Appendix at the low rate now
proposed, by having a large quantity of type, and
keeping the Congressional matter that we set up
for the daily and semi-weekly Globes standing for
the Congressional Glohe and Appendix. It we
had to set up the matter purposely, for these woiks,
we could not afford to jwint Uiem tor double the price
now charrrpiL
Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and the Auucndix are printed at the close
of each session, and sent to U subscribers for
them
We bave on lian-1 3.000 or 4,000 surplws copies
of the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the
extra session, which make together near one thou
sand royal quarto pages. They give the fullest
history of Congress that has ever been published.
We now sell them for $1 each; that is, $1 for the
Congressional Globe, and $1 for the Appendix.
We propose to let subscribers for the Congrcss'ona
Globe and Appendix for the next session, have
them for 50 cents each. They will be necessary tQ
understand fully the proceedings of the next ses6ion.
The important matters discussed at the last, cwjj
he brought up at the next session, in conseqa nee
of the universal dissatisfaction evinced in the late
elections with the vast and novel system of policy
wh'uh th nvw powers have introduced, and which
was forced through Congress without consulting
public opinion, or even allowing the full discussion
usual in regard to subjects of ordinary interest.
The reports of the Congressional Globe and Appen
dix are not in the least degie affected by the paity
bias of the Edi,or. They are given piecisely as
written ont by the Reporters and the. members
themselves. And the whole are subject lo the re
vision and correction of the speakers, as they pass
in review in our daily sheet, in case any misunder
standing or misrepresentation x)f their remarks should
occur.
We moke a daily analysis of the dointrs in Con
gress, and give our opinions in it freely, but this is
jmblished only iu the Daily, i?emi-weekly, and
Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is S10, the
Semi-weekly Globe 5, and the W'rekly Globe 2

species of disease by the use of MOFFAT'S LIFE
MEDICINES, is no longer a matter of doubt, as a
reference to the experience of many thousand pa
tients will satisfactorily prove. . During the present
month alone, nearly one hundred cases have come
to the knowledge of Mr. Moffat, where the patient
has, to all appearance, effected a permanent cure
by the exclusive end judicious use ot the Life Medi
cines some eight or ten of these had been con
sidered beyond all hope by their medical attendant?.
Such happy results arc a source of gieat pleasure to
Mr. M. and inspire him with new confidence to
recommend the use of his medicines to his fellow
citizens, t
The LIFE MEDICINES nrr purely VEG

this reason, in aggravated cases of Dyspepsia, the
Life Medicines will give relief iu a shorter space of
time thsn any other prescription. . In Fevcr-and-Ague,
Inflammatory Kheumalism, Fever of every
description, Sick Headache, Heart burn. Dizziness
in the Head, Pains in the Chest, Flatulency, im
paired appetke, and in every disease urinng frrm
an impurity of the blood, or a disordered stale of
the stomach, the use of these Medicines has always
proved to be beyond doubt greatly superior to any
other mode of treatment. .-

directions. It not by a newspaper jiotics or by
any thing that he himself may say in their favor,
