He judge, doubtless, by Ins own experience; but I would have aim to utdenund, said Mr. Ct!ut what may be true ia bis own case on memorable occasion. ia not true In nioa. lit pohllcil courwe may be go vamed by peraunal considerauon, but nupe, I trust, m governed strictly by my principles, and a not at all under tbe control of my atiacbmenla or enoiiliea. Whether the President, is personally my friend or en-, mv. has no influence over me in the discharge of mv duties aa, 1 trtumy course ha abundantly proved. Mr. U. concluded by saymg, that be tell that these -were Improper topics to introduce here, and the be bad paawd over them ss briefly aa pos:lIe. s Mt. t'tT wwlied it to be understood, that hi objec tions were not because the Committee ws coinpeJ of majority who were friend ot the measure, but that a majority were trotn the New Si lea, who were deeply interested, and that this majority were to judge of Uw term oa which they woula receive this insi'mficent donation. 11a Contended that bta ciiestiofi, aa le whew ther tbia wasaa Administration awaaure or not, was a proper one, as it tu important lor tbe public informa tion. He again referred to the runa of Jdr. Csl houn't new relations with the President, and supposed front the declarations of the Senator, that these rumor were true; and that his support, if not pleoged, wa t" least promised cooditiouall to tlie AdmioMrstKai.

It mt memory ere tne, and il rumors are to be trusted, the Senator bad a great deal to do with such things, in ottior House : and H m not at all surprising, from hia J winewca then, a h w-wwn eaee.that he fcwala' not fee iiidipaHed to believe airntlar rumors of another now. But whether tint sudden change of personal relation then, from at ter enmity lo the most eonSdenual friend ship with that citixen, waa preceded by pledge, under sUndinga, and political cotupruniftseaon the part nf one or both, it t not for me to aay. Tbe conntry Itit tnog luce paswnrf tbat. But, said Ms. C, I will assure Hit-Senator, if there were pledgea in hi case, there were none in mine. I . bare terminated my lung suapemled personal inter court with the Kfeaident, without the slightest pledge, uii4erstudiogo eoinproioiae,on either side.. I would UtJis W to receive or exact, roch.
