Mr. Arnold here
interDOSed tO exolain. I
declaring that no man once entertained kind-
er feelings toward Mr. Tyler than he : that
it failed his. bosom with unutterable Dain to I
change his opinion of him: but most certain
he was that if. his venerable and beloved
friend, Wm. H. Harrison, (for he was long
his personal and intimate friend,) had lived
to witness what had recently taken place,
his feelings would have undersone a like
change with Mr. A.'s, and he would have
done just the same.
Ah ! that comes from one who says he Is
" no Whig."
Mr. Arnold. It comes from a friend of
his country.
Mr. Gentry here reminded Mr. Stanly
that Mr. Arnold had not said that he was
" no Whig," but " no party man."
Well, if he is no party man,' then he can
not belong to the Whig party. That is good
logic. How he can be a no party man, and
yet of the Whig party, is an 'abstraction too
uuiiuiui uic. Asvna mo gGuuciiKiii lemcui
ber who were delegate! to the HarrUurg
Convention? OneoJ them is now 'jefore
me, (Mr. Boardmanpf Connecticutj)and I
see some round me who received the Harris-
burg nomination with joy, who are now fight- arid who seemed disposed to enlist them
ing with all their strength against it; while selves, without cause, in a design to scatter
others, who denounced it with abhorrence,
are notf become its cjiief advocate and de-
fenders. Does the gentleman from Tennes-
see remember that John: Tyer went to that
Convention to vote for Henry Clay ? Ought
he not to be judged "with some charity ?
Charity believeth all things, endureth all
things, hopeth all things ; and every Whig
ought to exercise a little of it toward his
own President. I am not ready to surrender
the President to the Locofocoa. No, sir;
he could not live in that atmosphere ; he
could have no rest in that camp. He has
no common principles with those men ; they
have neither part nor lot in bis heart. His
heart is Whig. I do not myself know how
or wnerein me xresiaent ainers in principle

and ninety-nine out of a hundred of the
nends of a Bank would have preferred, an

personal prejudices to tne puouo wisn ano
the general prosperity? Yet he must be
denounced in the most unmeasured terms,
have heard much more said against him
than has now fallen from the gentleman from
lennessee, ana neara it witn many pangs oi
heart.
Mr. S. said he would not allude to the
course or the language of the gentleman from
Virginia, (Mr. wise,) wnose course naa ai-
ways been erratic, inougn nis laienis com-i
manded respect. The gentleman was no
Whig. And he would say to tne gentleman
that the army he sought to rally, and at the
head of which he seemed desirous to place
himself, were altogether too puny to do the
Whig party of this country any harm. The
gentleman might as well shoot arrows at the
sun as attempt by sucn assailants to impair
the Whig strength.
And what had been the course of others?
One had said that he would " rather die in
the Whig ranks than live witn tne Liocolo-

Was ready to die for his political friends.
Dying, said Mr. S. is a terrible thing ;
though we must all come to it.
To die, and go we know not where ;
To lie in cold obstruction, and to rot ;
This sensible warm modon to become
A kneaded clod : and the delighted spirit
To bathe m fiery floods, or to reside
In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice ;
To be imprisoned in the viewless winds,
And blows with restless violence about
The pendant world.;" '
Yet i would rather endure all that (could
I indeed have fortitude to endure such things)
not than live with the Locofocos : no-
but, than live, and be a Whig, and yet en

But if. because we are attacked in some
petty newspaper, because our name gets in

good paper, and I am far from meaning to
say any thing against it, (a laugh) we are
to fly off at a tangent, as the gentleman has
done, why we shall all very soon be at log-
a
gerheads. l nave beard no denunciation
of the crentleman : but when a man's mind
is in that excited, jealous, sensitive state that
it seeks denunciation, it is never at a loss to
find it. My friend from Indiana (Mr. Promt)

(though if he ever sat up all night witn me,

aware of his presence ; if. we ever franked
for fifteen' minutes together in his rife, I do
not know of it:) he could frank most desper-
ately for Tippecanoe ; and when he fought,
could fight for a time harder than almost any
man I ever saw : but he was as imprudent in
his zeal as tny friend from Virginia near me,
(Mr. Rfltta. who writes a letter which a
cabal here by some base means get hold of

imprudence in writing a letter, if the letter
is, as he says, private one?
I
I only deny that it is an exDonent of the
views and feelings of the Whig party,
Mr. Botts here said something not heard
by the Reporter.
I have not denounced his letter ; but I
can denouitaa it. if ha wants ma and 1
will, and do. Nor have 1 heard of one soli
tary Whig, in this House or out, of it, who
did not condemn the whole spirit of the let
ter. 1 he Whigs can prosper and prevait on
ly by going on in a united spirit of harmony,
as one great band of brothers. They must
compromise, all minor differences of opinion.
I, as a Whig, will be the last man ever to
" head" a. Whig Presidents
Mr. Botts again spoke.
If the' gentleman from Virginia wants me
to, I will denounce the letter ; and I repeat
what I said, that I -have not heard a single
wnig speaK oi it mat am not uisapprove
its spirit and tone.
I have not much to say further. I have
looked with surprise at gentlemen who have
spoken of the Presidentin terms of contempt,
disaffection, and sow the seeds of discord
among the members of the Whig party. I
regret it from the bottom of my heart. In-
stead of pursuing so suicidal a course, let us
rather, in a broad and patriotic spirit, unite
ourselves as a band of brethren. I am ready
to fight under President Tyler, or any other
Whig President, for our common Whig
principles. I ask no avors from any Presi-
dent. Whenever he departs from Whig prin-
cinles. I am reajdvto auarrel in that cause.
And if that so great a calamity is in the
wrath of Heaven, to fall upon our country,
I am ready to draw the sword and to throw
away the scabbard As things are, I know
no distinction, I will know none, between
l ippecanoe and " Tyler too. We are
all of one party. As one party, we achieved
at the last election the createst.most brilliant.
most decided, most triumphant victory which
the annals of this countrv can show. We
achieved it by union. I desire, for one, to
i preserve it. . Ana 11 is a vain nope our aa-
1 1 , - - 1 j
versaries entertain, that, because they may
succeed in detaching one here and another
j there, from our ranks, they shall separate
our party into fragments, or separate the
President from the friends who gave him, in
spite of their upmost efforts, his elevation
to omce. When John Tyler separates Irom
I us. he falls. But. with the same reliance
on the aid of a suDerintending and merciful
Providence with which I entered into the
I great Whig contest, trusting that He whose
i shield was thrown around ueorge wasning
ton. and who 4ed our fathers through the
flood and through the desert into a wealthy
place, will not now desert us, their children,
fight ng for the same principles, I am ready
to fiffht under tne old wnig Danner ; ana i
here invite the gentleman from Indiana (Mr.
Promt back again into our ranks. After
he has done so much with us in the common
cause, after he has rendered such important
Serv ice to win us the victory in the great
West, I invite him to come and aid me,
wjth his stronger and bolder arm, to lift that
banner to the breeze. There let it fly over
a brave and united host ; and let our enemies
again tremble, as they have once trembled
and fled, as thev read upon that triumphant
flag the well-known legend " Tippecanoe

Tueday, August 31, 1841.
As great inquiry has been made in relation to
the details of the Bankrupt Law, we publish it to-day
for public information. Its length, howerer, and a
desire to keep op with the proceedings of Congress,"
excludes several other articles of interest.
SALE OF SWAMP LANDS.
We have barely space, this morning, to invite pub
ic attention to the great sale of reclaimed Swamp
Lands, which is to take place in November next, un
der the direction of the Literary Board. Perhaps, A
finer opportunity never was presented to the Capital
ist for a profitable investment, than this sale will af
ford. The Lands are believed to be as productive' as
any in the world, and must rapidly appreciate in val
ue, as they are put under cultivation. Let those per
sons who are sighing for the rich bottoms of the Mis
sissippi, turn their attention to this 1 Dorado, which
presents advantages surpassed by no country under the
sun. we snail recur to mis sumect again.
LATEST FROM CONGRESS.
The proceedings of Thursday are crowded out.
In
the Senate we are proud to state, the Land Bill was
finally passed by a vote of 28 to 22 It was strictly
a party vote, except that Mr. Przston voted against
It has, as the reader knows, previously passed the
House of Representatives j but having been amended
in the Senate, (by a provision to suspend its operation
when duties are laid on importations beyond 20 per
cent on their value,) it has yet to go back to the I
House for their action upon that amendment. ,
In the House, the bill appropriating money for the
relief of the Post "Office Department, was passed by an
overwhelming majority, and sent to the Senate for
concurrence.
The second Bank Bill had not been taken up in
the Senate, as late as Thursday, but its passage through
that body is certain. It is said to be equally certain,,
now that President Tyler has his hand in, that he
will veto it.

CCJ- The Correspondent of the Wilmington Chroni
cle'' is accurate in his suggestion, with respect to the
number of the first Class of Graduates at our Univer
versity, but is slightly in error in one or two other par
ticulars. The names of the Graduates of 1798 were
Samuel Hinton, William Houston, Hinton James,
Robert Locke, Edwin Jay Osborne, Thomas Alexan
der Osborne and Adam A. Springs. Of the seven
there are but two now living, viz : Hinton James,
Esq. of Wilmington, who was the first Student that
entered the Institution, and William Houston, M. D,
then of Cabarrus, but, for several years past, a citizen
of Bedford County, Tennessee. ,

to " take the Stump," and will commence the canvass

' LYCH LAW. ' ..
The New Orleans Pjcaytine ttihtain the particnlars
of a whole sale exercise of Lyiich law in the State of
Arkansas. It seems that PHiUipscounrof ibatStata,
and the county of Cloohoma, on the opposite side, of
the river j have been the harbor of an extensive band
of counterfeiters. . The citizens enraged af this system
of things, resolved, to rid themselves of there, by any .
and every means placed within their power. They
accordingly proceeded, about 100 in number, u pur
suit, headed by a Captain Barney Bedford, all well
armed. The following stratasem was then resorted
., w a
b, for their apprehension. The Volunteers engaged a.
trading boat at Helena, and hid about 80 men in tm
store room ; they therl descahdefl the river, landing at
every place where they 'expected to fall in with the .
Counterfeiters. These depraved men came on'boarfl
to purchase produce, with the iritention. of paytfig for
it in counterfeit money. They were' thus taken and
secured in the boat When the number had increas
ed to 27 men, they were tied ands and feef, and, aa,
the report says, drowned in the Mississippi, near Island
o. 69, in the presence of two men, Harrod and Bur-
gesa, who, it appears, officiated, or at least took an
tive part in the execution of the aenlenice'. . - '
The Picayune states, that when their informant left,
the volunteers were still ill pursuit of others, the piaia
one of whom they wished to secure, was a man nam
ed Merian Wright. Among the .list of victims, the
following names have been obtained, via : Hoga Tal
ley, Lewis Hingstdn, Andrew McLaughlin," Willia
Pbllock, Hugh Cotten, Elliott and Robert HoUter, the
latter lately from New York, Joe Merrrtt and" Me- '
Commick. -

North Bind, Aug. 2tkt 1841.
Messrs. Tucker and Bender. :
Gentlxmer : The likeness yon were pleased to
commit to the care of Messrs. Clarkson and M'Alpin
was amy received, out uie letter which you intended
should accompany-it, was not received until yesterdays
I was informed by my son that we Were indebted for
it to the kindness of some friend or friends of my lata
lamented husband, in jmuadeipbia, and was sensibly
impressed with reelings of obligation to them, and
g retted my inability from the want of their proper ad-v-dress,
so to express myself. Tour kind letter relieves
me from this embarrassment, and I hasten to oner you
my sincere thanks for so valuable a present, one which,
for its elegant workmanship would be prized by any: ;
individual, but doubly so by me as being a likeness of -
him from whom I have been -so recently separated 1
and with whom I shared for more thaa forty years the
joys and sorrows of this world of changer and tribula
tion.
Accept, gentlemen, my unfeigned thanks for your
kind expressions of -sympathy. -
Very respectfully yours. . ...
