V I think ,J know the use of my tools, and I will not consent that the scalpel shall go be yond the very mark that I have made, in nine cases out of ten, I judge not by what a man says, not by his mere words, but by the tone the voice the look', and othr circumstances 5' the mere words are of subordinate considerations frise only to say,' that Icame forward under , no such character as ; that which has been gratuitously imputed to me and why? I reserve to myself the formaiibn of myx own friendships - and. my own - enmilres, and I trust that no gentleman will under take to create "for me either the. one or the other. ; In saying this, I can saf with the utmost truths that 1 " mean nothing personally 0ensi ve to the gentleman from Maine. I could say, if it were neces , sary but why is it necessary ?have we got to thisj that no man can act here can submit a motion without prefacing it or larding it with periphrastical disclaim ers of this bad motive, or that bad mo tive ? Cati we carry, on he machine of Government by no other way than by this fulsome adulation ? If I make a mo tion, let the motion speak for itself. If I utter an argument let the argument speak. If I declare political hostility to any man on this floor, it . may be said not in the very words of Tacitus as La? tin seems to be the very stumbling block of all our editors, from Maine to Florida, 1'will thereTore give it in English "they who are false in their friendships, do not feign in their en mities.? Iloiveve r much I might desire the. friendship of the pre I siding o fficer of this1 H ouseHlha t relation 1 never na suDsitea oeteen. tnat gentle man andrmyself,;pers6hally or poliucally 1 say :, 's6 to take away that . which does not belong to hm aiiy mbf e than -to me.: The presiding ofiicer of the House miglu not choose to have this thing put on that footing. When I say this, do I declare any personal or political hostility to him ? Not at all. We may at 'last "become so exTremely astute and diplomatic, as never to see the object before our noses ; be cause we are looking undet it, or over it, or beyond it, to discover some ulterior or latent meaning. If I had heard the words of the gentleman from Maine -as; no man on earth has any authority to create for me friendships or enmities X should have noticed them ; and I presume that thev must have been spoken while I had ste' out of the Senate. Before I sit down, permit me to add in V str .uon of the subject, an anecdote wr-ch I heard lately :' A gentleman, re markable for toe beauty am! splendor ot Kis doiiiain nd estabhshment, was givn to understand by on? of the Ti iends of the King; (then Regent) that it would not be . disaieeable to his Majesty to pay a. visit to that gentleman, and examine his fine grounds, and fine pictures., and ail the rarities of that unique and sumptuous es- tablishiuent ; to winch the other very dryly replied, that he was an : hnglish geuilerticin, and claimed the privilege, as such, of inviting his own comp ny "to his- oviTn house. I, said Mr. R. . claim the privilege "of forming my own friendships ana eomutes, - ana snail not consent to their being formed by uny one else. , I win not agree mat any man snail place me in the relation of riendship to anoth er, however 'desirable it might be : or that be shall place me in the relation of enmity to any other man, who does not - utand in that relation towards me." As regards friendship 1 have ; my peculiar opinlons-- '" ' " : ' Friendship, like Love, is but a Name, 'f - uniess, 10 one you sum me name. The child, whom many father's stare," Has seldom felt a father's care : : ' Tis thus with Friendship who depend ' . Oa man, rarely find a friend... , . 'Of the truth of this, air, I can speak in my quality of an orphan boy, left tc make my way in the wot Id as I might. "V v Mr. Holmes said he did not consider -bimseif answerable lor any thing '-which appeared in "the newspapers of. what he - said here.He did noifknow;, why the gentleman should take up the paper and 'suppose jt had given a correct report of-what be had said, when it did hot pro-. less 10 report, .wnai ne .nad said. : 11 the gentfemin :wo he .would see that it; did "hot purport to give the wdsseqby bira. ' The gen tlemari from Virginia was f in his seat . .aid' Mr. H.; wh(en I made use of trie re marks . referred toin llhl? newpe - Mr R. sajd he wai iiot or7he shbnld have4 heard it;! ' He wasin his seat." I unna, saia Mr. ti. as ne replied to a part Mr. Randolph repliedif the gentle raau disavows the words, I have nothing more to say. If he . denies the words , there is an end of it. And, sir, while the gentleman was speaking, I fo absent. I: went : out. while the gentleman . was speaking. Let nie observe, that 1 cer tainly, must understand the evidence of my own senses', and what I heard or did not . hear, , as well as the gentleman from Maine could do for me. This 1 a fur ther specimen of the gentleman V care; of others who do not Aspire to his good of fices. Tdid say before, that what'I said was offered in no offensive spirit to the gentleman from Maine 1 sball not say that agai n If once' I make an overture of that kind, and it is; repelled, I shall not renew it. I go further, sir: I suffer no rain' to play ' fast and loose with m?- If ilie gentlelmah had- disavowed - his words,4, that was' another affair ; but, if that gentleman once plays loose' with me, lie shall never play fast again with me, that I can assure hi 111. 1 The gentle man's expression of "understahdihg and " believiilgM .and all that, has, jat this time of day, a very awkward sound in my ear There is more of caution and circumlocution than' comports with that gentleman in matters of assertion. -Who taiks of understanding" and '' believ ing" that one man stands in such a rela tion to another. I say, unheasitatingly, that T shall trust the notes off the note- taker in a question of that sort, sooner than the memori of. the gentleman from Maine. It is a liberty which the gentle man from; Maine never had any right to claim, by any sort of relation subsisting between us. V I wish it to be so distinctly understood, and I rise here to notice it, because I am determined tha't it shall be so understood.- .Why did hot some of my bosom friends undertake to make friendships and enmities for me ? ; They know me better. . 1 have only one favor to askiqf the gentleman roin Maine that, in pursuing the line of his duty here, he will permit tme to- pursue the iinCoYm myfcimrMorthrV in th'isbGdwh'b to tOiich in any -way, thab'ahe gentlemaa Tr'niiftfalnei creditable ashat of promoting' science for it? own sale. : Though your first at tempt in this ayhas failed, ,1 trust, ir, that you "Will phwemore fortunate in; any future endeavoW in furtherance of the same end.

(An exiiact from " Attic Fragments. Such were the rival orators, "who sat ylahcinff bostilitv and defiance at eadh other, during the early part of the ses sion of 1823 j Brougham, as if wishing to overthrow the secretary-bv a sweep ing accusation of having abandoned all orinciole for the sake of olfice : " and the Secretary ready to parry the charge and attack in his turn. An oDDOrtunitv lat ; : - : 1 f i f length offered, and it is the more worthy of being recorded, as being the last ter-i rific personal attack previous to ; that change in the measures of the Cabinet which,, though it had been begun from; the moment that Canning, Robinson and Huskinson came" into office, was nof at that time perceived, or at least admitted or appreciated. Upon that occasion , the oration of Urougham was, at the outset disjointed and ragged, and apparently without aim or application. He careered over the whole annals of the world, and Collected every instance in which genius hal' degraded itself at the footstool o poahtr,or principle had been sacrificed for the vanity or lucre of the place; but still there was, no allusion to Cantiihg, ands nu, connexion that ordinary men could "discover with the business before trie' House. When, however, he had col lected every material which , suited his ouroose : when the mass had become bi" and 'black, he bound it about and ebout with the cords of illustration and of argument when it was round and secure, he swung it around with .the strength of a uiant. and the rapidity of a whirlwind, in order that its impetus! an its effects might be the more tremendous; and, while doing this: be ever and anon glared his eyej, and pointed hisj finger, to make the aim and the direction sure. Canning himself was tile first that seem ed aware where and how terrible was to be the collision, and he kept' writhiug his body in agon', and rolling his eyes in fear, as if anxious to nnd some shelter from the impending ' bolt .The House soon caught the impression, and every man in it was glancing fearfully, firt toj wards the orator,'; and then towards the Secretary There was, save the voice of Brougham, which growled in that under tone of muttered thunder which, f is so fearfully audible, and : which no speaker of the day was fully, master, of but nim self, a silence, as if the angel of retribu tion had been staring in ibe faces of all parties the scroll of ' their' personal and political sins. . A pen, which one of the Secretaries dropped upon the matting was heard in the remotest, part of the House ; and the voting members who1 often slept in the side galleries during the debate, started up as though the last trump had been summoning them to give; n account of their ,fdeeds. The stiffness of Brougham's figure had vanished ;' his feautures seemed concentrated almost to a point ;- he glanced towards' every part of the House in succession ;" and sotnirj ding the death knell of the? Secretary's forbearance and prudence, with" both his clenched hands upon the table, he hurled at him an; accusation, more dreadful in its gall, and more tortming in its effects,' than had ever, been hurled at mortal matt whhin the samf walls. The result was ihstantaeouswwas electric. It was as when the thunfler cloud descended'! upon the giant peal -one flash one peal--the sublimity vanished and x all that ref mained was y small and'cold pattering tf rain, i Lannng.; started - to his feet and was - only a&le to' utter the 'unguarded words'!

If there ever was a period in American history deserving ot a high and solemen ' celebration an oc casion iiiwliich all hearts should unite, it is the approaching anniversary of Ameri can independence it is the day of Free- thev first half century of freedom, accom panied 7 With 'f such astonishing changes and revolutions in this' hemisphere, that the heart must be dead indeed to all pat riotic emotions that does not feel the force of such anappeal. Within the petiod aboveraentionetL Washington and .his little band of patriots passed the Uela- ware in the depth of winter, and their footsteps were marked - upon the snow with blood. rNow bad it been told to bim at thai time, that in less than half a centur those thirteen states,-the misera ble remnant of, whose forces he then commanded, would be increased to twen ty-fourthat their united jurisdiction would swell to the Gulph of Mexico on the south, to the surges of the Paci6c tn the west that on Lake Erie, then haun ted, only by savage beasts arid men more savage, the triumphant naval thunders of America would be heard that there would be seen tKe prostrat cross of - St Georpe Could he have believed that such mighty revolutions were then pre oarine? ; Were he told that the waters ol Lake Erie would in that period 01 .tnne be mingled with those of the Atlan tic, would he not have thought that such a prophecy was merely the impracticable vision of a heated ancv ? And vet his revolutionary comrade, Thomas Jeffer son, is to this hour a living witness ol the spectacle. It is for such causes that we wish the ensuing anniversary of bur na tional independence to be celebrated with a splendor becoming such mighty eventsi that it may be in truth a triumphant jubilee to every heart.

Baltimore American, The London New Times of March 11th, takes occasion of publishing an in correct statement of the application o Mr. Jefferson for a lottery, to renew the old slang about the; ingratitude of repubj lies. The Times says nothing about th purpose of the lottery,' lb "-'sell the pro perty of Mr, Jefferson at a fair1 valuation, but publishes the statement of some igf norant anonymous writer in some of ouf papers, that " Mr, Jefferson has at length1 become, so reduced in his circumstances, that he has found himself compelled to petition the Legislature ofv Virginia, to grant a Lottery to raise raone enough f from the proceeds, to enable him to pay ins aeots ana provide nimseii a norae 10 the .remainder of his days." " ' rhis, says the Times,' 14 is republicanism wit a vengeance I" The author of the Dec laration of Independence, and of the con stitution of Virginia, two works on which the Times lays great stress, was rewar ded withan embassy to. foreign countries, with the offices of Secretary ot State, and Vice President of the United States, an was twice, elected President of the Un ted States.'
