' Gen. Jackson aid to the xlouse of Representatives, make , your, charges, and you may .then examine witnesses to support them, but now, any allusion in either branch of Congress, to a wasteful and unauthorized expenditure of the peoples' money, a particular act of misconduct, not only speci fied but admitted, is treated - as a gross outrage and" the officer, whose conduct is animadverted on, at once commences an insolent vilification of the member who has dared, to point public attention to the wrong com mitted. In tius point of view, as one of the signs of tnat .bxecutaye freedom from all enquiry by the Repre sentatives oHhe People, tho tssertion of which marks the present day the Colonel's communication is wor thy of serious thought Considered in itself merely, it mm wuMuiuu u"j v cxciio mirui, Demg at once a very weak defence of himself, and a Very, silly and ill-natured attack upon Mr. Stanly ; - 4 - f ; ohsefve what ground the Colonel takes on the subject of his purchase. ; He stands upon precedent and jatrioUsmi First, he says he deemed 'it proper " eomubatumT Consultation 7 With whom 1 With the public Gardener hero t Or with one of his own Clerks 1 He did not consult with any membor of Congress, for they alt said it was wrong and unjus tifiable.

The Caoitol mnnJ. f the United States are full of Visiters daily, from all paru of the Union. They are; iVoW grounds.

Messrs; Connor, Montgomery, McKay and Shcpard, fta ecni word of censure for Am expenditure. No has JciTjrixn it. Money is indeed appropri- atcd by Congress to keep in repair the public build ings, but it is expended by the Commissbner of pub. lie buildings, an, officer appointed by the President. He is responsible for its application not the members of Congress1 v.;s .e:-v The Colonel says-f" The shade these Trees afibrd, and the odour they emit, are inhaled alike by the poor est men of the State, as well as the most wealthy," The poor men in North Carolina work for their. Jiv ing they do not repose in the shade and inhale odour at the public expense. The pure air of Heaven is good enough for them, and should be for. any one, without the, "odour" of China Roses, and double Dahlias, and Cbacorus' Japonica's, Ac ice. which the "patriotism" of the Superintendent induced him to purdUaeVith the People's money. ... But he asks why has this matter just been presented by Mr. 8tanly 1 . Those who attend to the proceedings of Congress,lLnow that he has, thV Session, for the first time, been placed on the Committee of Expend, tores on the public buildings, and thus had such ex penditures brought tinder his special" notice. "This will show to the Colonel, why Mr. 8tsnly now, for the first time, has brought this matter before the pub lic But it seems the Superintendent is " op to snuff." He says Not onlyis the public' money spent by this igentkman for Trees, Jetd'eans, 8oda Water, dec &c. but the United States pay for the Snuff that titillates the gentleman's beautiful nose!? The Colo nel takes care not to state the amount paid for Snuff. It was, if I recollect rightly but $2 ;75. ; And by whom was this paid t Congress appropriates money to pay for the paper, pens, 4-e. and other expenses ofj the House of Representatives.. This money is placed in the hands of the Clerk of Uft House to disburse, He bought the Snuff Van Buren Clerk, that Mr. Stanly voted aganul-m-wai the account was allowed hy a Committee, a majority of whom are Van Buren men.' But if $2 75 were paid for Snuff for 242 mem bers, does it fbdow, that it was patriotism in Colonel Wheeler, to buy out of the public money, $218 worth of trees and flowers il Or let 4he matter assume the shape of a problem in political arithmetick, and it win tandx thus t Two dollars and three quarters being granted a reasonable' appropriation for Snuff, " to titil late the noses" of 242 Representatives of the People, it. is required to find what sum will 'be a just allow ance for " shade and odour" to be "inhaled" by the nose of one Superintendent of a Branch mint ! ' So luuonby CoL Wheeer, $218. " f ' y- If the Colonel, however, knew Mr. 8tanlys person al habits, he would know that he 'never took a pinch of that Snuff to "htillate his beautiful nose." I do not know that there is much beauty about, Mr. S's. nose ; but perhaps,' when'compared to the Superintend dant s, it may be called beautuuL" ri ;n -; ; t Uut the Colonel, in supposing himself justified by Mr." Stanly's' example has altogether mistaken the matter. Mr. Stanly moved on the floor of the House,' this very session, to reduee,the smount of apprepria- Uon for the. Trees and Shrubs for. the public grounds,' and made a Speech' on the subject. : He also moved, to reduce the 8alary of the4 Principal Gardener from $ 1200 to J$10b6-(mVsalarr Uow 120p and not $1000, as.stated, by tho Colonel but the Van Buxen party voted him down. :t3o that Mr. 8. has in fact, already examined1 the expenses of his own body 1 and tried to reduce them.

A Un TO THE PUBLIC. : The attention of the undersigned, was a' few dsys ago called, for the first time, to a paragraph in a Speech printed and distributed in pamphlet form and purport ing to have been delivered on the 25fA of March last, in the House of Representatives by one William Montgomery, member from the eighth Congression al district of North Carolina. . The absence from the City of some of the undersign- ed,has delayed this notice, and if the Speech were 'cir culated only at home,- where our characters and that of the member are duly appreciated, we should not con- descend to notice.it. ; . 'The paragraph alluded to is in the following words ; " I regret to admit the fact that, in mv own State. modern Whiggery not only -denies recorded facts, f but proclaimt and vouches for that which ixreciselv the very opposite of recorded facta and truth ; for on f the eve of the last Coneressionai election, a. forcer. of the blackest dye, was issued from a Federal press " in 1 Kaleigh, sent all over my district by expresses, " with the certificate of Jive volunteer, or willing wit u nesses, as a passport, and the name of one of them is now one ot the Whig Harrison electors, (Charles Manly, esq. of Raleigh, N. C.) and is canvassing the district by speeches of the lowest abuse against this M Administration." ; This Speech was delivered on the 25A of March, and William Montgomery on that day declares that the name of one of them is now one of the Whig " Harrison Electors, (Charles Manly, Eq. of Raleigh, "N. C. and is canvassing the district by speeches of " the lowest abuse against this Administration." Now it happens that Mr. Manly was nominated an Elector by a Convention of Delegates from the several counties of the District assembled at Smithfield on the 24M of March, aJLa distance of about 300 miles from Washington, and only oh the afternoon of the day before this Speech "was delivered. Hence it is very clear, that this Orator either made assertions on that day in Congress about which he knew nothing, and which were not true in point of fact or else, that he, has written, or procured some one to write for him, a Speech falsely purporting to have been delivered in Congress on that day, when in truth no such Speech as that published was delivered. 7 ?: Our chief concern, however, is to call the attention of the Public to the preceding part of the paragraph and to submit the facts connected with the affair allu ded to. ,.:'V,;; '?. "s:'-'-' A short time before the Congressional election of 1839, Weston R Gales, Esq. of this City, Editor of the Raleigh Register, received a letter from, a respecta ble gentleman of Fayetteville, purporting to be the sub stance of. a' communication from this same William Montgomery, to jW. F. Leake, Esq. as read by Mr. Morris, to prejudice the election of Mr. Deberry to whom Mr. Morris was opposed. This letter Mr. Gales published in an Extra, as follows, viz ; . t Alb sight's Stoux, Oaavaa CorsrTT,7 , ij. June 1839. 5 WoJter.Ft JjtakEsq. 'i -X i "ft? " 1- ,-Dear Sir s your letter has been received. You ask for more information relative to the votes and conduct of Mr. Deberry when in Congress, and refer to a letter I wrote Mr. Holmes hut month, y bich you state: you have seen, &c I am very sorry our friend Morris has read the letter publicly he ought to have had more sense. It never was intended so be thus used, but on the contrary, slyly and secretly : then H would have worked wonders, and could not have been contradicted. I am afraid now, Deberry will produce his Journal and upset the whole of it j however this may be, don't give up, but continue to charge him. with having Voted for all the appropriations except one of about a million and a quarter. If you assert with confidence, some Will be gulled, and you will gain their votes, which is all that we want.. If Deberry should not have his Joornals. you will then have a decided advantage overhim, which you must not fail to improve. You know tbt all the appropriation bills are settled generally in "committee of the whole," where they are fully debated, compro mised and placed in that shape by the majority, which insures their final passage, aftef they are reported to the House, when they are very seldom further debated, M-tnawinantlv than- run m.A u ft a .ATtr11 T i . wVw"wr'f'? r'af,"u: mnHfr J f CM, tSUlVISV that if Deberry should unfortunately have his journals,' make him show where his name u recorded against ay of them, wd insist that the Journal pughtvto show if he did oppose any of .them; this of course they wfll ot do for the reason aire?

Gales to examine a Letter received by him from, a gentleman in Fayetteville dated July 25, 1839, on the subject of certain communications addressed by Dr. Montgome ry, 01 urange, to two individuals in Mr. Oeberry's District, and. being furthermore desired to compare the said Letter with the printed copy issued in an Ex- wa irom tbe ofhee of the Raleigh Register, we hereby certify that we have carefully done so, and find that the printed letter is a correct and exact copy, except that the original cdhtains the phrase, " ti6 silcniw," which, in the extra, is rendered vote," the Eng lish signification of those words. . ,.;' . . . , , CHAS.MANLY fC j H.

WHITING, , MiTHOS,J,XEMAY;,?:i: With the inquiry, whether the letter received from Fayetteville correctly represented the one written by Dr. Montgomery to Jdr. Leake, or not,' we had nothing to do ; nor did we allude to it in the certificate. - This was a matter between Dr. Montgomery and the writer, who, no doubt, has been and is willing and ready to assume any responsibility with which he is justly chargeable. The only object, purport or tenor of our certificate, as appears from its very face, was to show, as requested, that the published letter was correctly copied from the original from Fayetteville, except in the slight variation referred to therein. - i . ; , , We gave the certificate, as we'hope we always shall be ready to do, when asked, to exculpate an esteemed fellow-citizen from a false charge and for aught we know, it may be entirely incomprehensible to the Doctor, how men can honestly be " willing witnesses1' in the cause of truth f but if in the preceding extract from his printed Speech, William Montgomery in tends to charge or insinuate that we willingly con nived at, certified to; or participated in a forgery, directly or indirectly t or that we circulated or gave "passporf to the letter, knowing or . believing or suspecting it to be a forgery,tfien we do hereby pro nounce and publish him to be a vile Calumniator and a SsoundreL K "w.H'y , CHAR.

CONGRESS. :,i:-f-v- EDITOR COftRESPONDENCS. . - - ' WisaixoToir, June 2. To-day, the House took up the Sub Treasury bill in good earnest, and its attention was exclusively con fined, to it. . Mr. Leet, of Penn. spoke hi its defence, and Mr. Brockway, of Conn, against the measure. . , The Senate was the greatest theatre' of attraction'. Mr.' Clay presented a memorial from' J. C. Reynolds, late Postmaster at feynoklsburg, Ohio. ..The memo rialist says he has recently been removed and without cause, having as he thinks always discharged the du ties of his office faithfully Hecks' justice4 hands of Congress and of the Government, and sinee he cannot obtain this justice at the hands of the Post Office, he asksforan investigation of his conduct, in order that he may know the cause of his removal. A . Mr. Clay 'said that he was requested to present Ihe petition to the Senate. He did not feel himself at lib erty to decline the request, especially as the petition had been placed in the hands of another Senator, who had declined to present it. There was no practical remedy in the case before the Senate, but the nature ef the complaint was not of a character to be passed over without nodce. ' The petidoner had been dismis sed, apparently for no good reason, but probably be cause he was politically opposed to the .head of the Post Office Department Tie complainant asked a hearing, and no hearing was allowed nim--for a spe cification of any act of mal -administration n the dis charge of his duties but none ws? given.- Those who refused him the justice to inlwrca him why he removed, were those who removed him.., ,:. Mr. Clay went on to speak more at length, in regard to the power of the Executive, which had been exer cised in the removal of officers. Instead of paying any ; respect tor. , the people, the President, in his ap pointments, rewarded those whom the people rejected. How was it witivthe present Postmaster General 1 Was he not rejected by the people and condemned in the number of four or five thousand 1 " How was H with the newly appointed Minister to Russia! Was he riot rejected by the people after an appeal to them And how was it-with many others! "jMr, Clay fop tinued . his remarks for the purpose of , showing how little regard the Executive and the Administration had for 'the will of the peoplevL . ; The Bankrupt bill was then taken upand Mr. Cal houn expressed his views at length upon the two bills before the Senate.' He opposed both bU1s--that o the majority because it ras altogether unconstitution al, find that- of the tninority because it was unconsti tutional in important particulars. r The prevision for byoluntary bankruptcy he regarded as unconstitution-' aljijThe only constitutbnal provision in.it waa that which contemplated compulsory Bankruptcy This he regarded as Constitutional, but so odious, that no one would vote for the provision if it was embodied in a bin by itself. - ; - - The vote was then taken upon the question-" Shall Banks be excluded If J The following are the ' Yeas ana mys: . t -iVv.. j -i -i f - )ea Mess.
