1; A mere youtUj 1 felt .the liveliest joy when
the alien and sedition laws expired in the tri
uropili of Mr Jefferson. From 1806 I was old
' enough, by speeqh and pen, to, call for a prompt
and energetic redress of our wrongs suffered
from Great ljritan under her Orders in Coan
cil ; the attack on iho Chesapeake frigate and
v ltmg continued impressment of our samen ;and
; when ihe war of 1812 at length came I was a-
mung the first and longest in the presence of the
Joe. The insults received from the French Di
lectory ; their depredations on our commerce, re
newed under Napoleon's decrees (Berlin and
Milan) which followed ihe British Orders in
' Council, also largely shared io my indignant re
probaiioQ. , '
The adminis'.tatmn of Mr. Madison, and Mr.
Monroe, lilce that of Mr Jefferson bad, in their

I give thivhtte sketch of the growth of my
parly feelings or opinions - unimportant, perhaps
except toCmJrself and a few partial friends, to
show lhat, if I have never been a Federalist, in
any party sense of the icrm, so neither have I
been a Jacobin y &n impracticable or abstrac
A lionist in ary sense whatever; but always an
old fashioned republican, devoted m the support
of law and older a , democratic Whig, just as
all my Tamil jr had been whigs in the great strug

The, Judiciary. From an early and long con

which, "'h'yjdmg npiihei the purse to corropt, nor
ihe sword toj terrify, addresses itself only with
the miid force of persoastvs Reason, to ihe in-
-Jelligenee and virtue of the. whole commonii.

There can be no good reason why the veto

An amendment lo this effect would still leave

Mr. Granger commenced bis remarks by
saying that he hid never before, in address
ing his fellow-citizns, fell called on to speak
of himself; but on that occcasion he felt
bound to do so. He then took; a rapid
glance of the formation of the Cabinet un

of President Harrison, and the accession

He referred to the passage of the land bill

bring relief to thousands of the unfortunate

mongst the first acts of the present Con
gress, and us repeal implied an obligation
upon the Whig party to provide a substitute;
thst a bank bill had beep passed by Con
trress, and arrested by the action of lho Pies

Much as he deprecated . the use of the
veto power, such were some of the features
of that bill that although ne did most deep-
17 regrei uiai tns; executive sanction W88
withheld from it, he did not feel that the
president should j be harshly censured for
returning it to Congress with his objections.
A second Mil was formed which it was sup
po?ed would full?; meet his wishes. Indeed
the Public had been informed bv hiffb cu-
thrity, which rcniains uncontradicted, lhat
the second bill was presented to CoDsrcss
with the approbation of the President to its
details. That bill was passed, acd its fate
was known to out! People;. Congress wss
about to adjourn ;i the sub-Treasury-repeal
ed, and the substitute offered by Congress
defeated by the Executive. The purse and
lho sword were still united in the bands
where the Whig ! parly had dechred the
who gave their unanimous approval of ibts
determination. 1 hen he did resign, ready
to go into the ranks to sustaio the Whig
party. Mr Granger said that here he had k
single wora 10 ssy, as mucn in justice 1
another as himself. It had been insinuated
ia public prints, and circulated in secret
whispers, that the member of Congress from
this district had received his nomination
with Mr. Granger that, in a contingency like
thtt which has arisen, his place was to be
surrendered. This was a miserable calumny:
without the slightest shadow of . troth. Hi
(Mr. Granger) had never even heaid Mr
Greig named as a a candidate until inform
ed of his nomination. He need not say bowj
well the tryst, confided to him bad been exi
ecuted ; but be would say, in justice to his
delicate and perplexing responsibilities grow
ing out of bis position in the Government,
and the surrender of his place, the constant!
counsel and advice of that gentleman had1
been most useful to him. Mr. G. said tha
on bis return he met at Albany Mr. Greio's
letter ol resignation, which bad been follow-
ed by the representatives of the Whigs of!
Ontario by a nomination more grateful
to his feeling than any other occurrence of
his political life. s
Mr. Granger then reviewed the oosilion
of the Whig party of the nation, and par
ticularly of this State he said that our ene
mies bad supposed that those who differed
from the President were to wage war upon
him, and thus produce a breach in our ranks.
rhe proceedings of the State Convention
recently held at Syracuse had dispelled that
11 " w -"' " . " .
illusion, aua pur matters upon the right
grounu.
Shonldohe present Administration carry
out Whig principles, it was entitled to the
support of the Whig party ; and from no
one would such a" course receive a more
hearty support than fiom him, (Mr. G.,)
wherever he might be placed. Theie were
some few indications that improper officers
would be reformed. He (rusted the Presi
dent would continue these reforms, in which
it was the duty of good Whigs to sustain
bin.
ecutive, he sought to secure his official ap
proval. In all this he manifested that udel
itv tonhe party, delicacy to the President,
consideration of unfortunate and unantici
pated circumstances, and constant pursuit
of e practical public good, which the coun
try expected, indeed, from him, but- could
scarcely expect from any other man.
' When the purpose of introducing anoth
er bill, after the veto of ihe first, was adop
ted in- Congress, Mr Webster no doubt
sought to have it so framed as to avoid the
the objections of the President , and proba.

anxiety, and a very strong wish that the
whole matter might be laid over until the
next session . Mr Webster" thought this
reasonable and expedient, under" the cir
cumstances, as did Mr Ewing, if I under
stand his Tetter, and he communicated his
opinion anJ his desire to his friepds in
Congress. The bill was passed and sent to
the President, and then, as Mr Ewing tells
the public, and I believe the truth to be.
Mr Webster submitted a written and oral
argument to the President to persuade him
to give it his sanction f
You see, therefore, that if in this matter
there had been on both sides, or on either
tide, faults or errors, Mr Webster did all
that he could do all that man could do
in the succession of events, to prevent
them. Down to the moment when 'he a
dopted and declared his determination
not to (retire from office, there-was no one
within or without the Whiar rartv. who did
not appreciate his sound judgment, his per-
feet fidelity and his admirable counsels-. I
have not a doubt that the sober second
thought of the country will do justice to
this determination. His colleagues have
retired, from the same conviction that in
fiuenced that portion of the Whigsin Con
gress who have presented an address to the
public, to wit;, that there no longer exists
any hope of. a satisfactory arrangement of
the question of the bank, under Mr Tyler's

administration. Mr. Webster thinks the
Tli' Jew and his pound of Flesh. Some days case not hopeless; he is for another trial

remain. Here was sufficient
cause for th "withdrawal of . members from
tho Wftig Cabinet was well kuown that four
' lbav"did withdraw. . j ; )
But there were pt her-additional reasons

w
ago, a gentleman from Mobile came to this city,
and while here was arrested lor debt, a: ihe in
stance of a citizen of this place. Bail was found;
but the inexorable creditor refused to let the
stranger return to his family, though he pleaded
hard for the immunity, fearing lest he might
fall a prey lo the pestilence.
In a day or two after, Ibe unfortunate debtor
was seized with the fever, and on Sunday eve
ning: was ccrried to his grave.
We" have merely given the outline of this
heartless transaction ; but it is enough to damn
forever ihe Shylock who could thus delight in
Ltbe death of a man .'who chanced to owe him a
few paltry dollars.
To-morrow we shill try to geflh particular?
of this disgraceful affair. J. O. Adv.
The cruel and melancholy case alluded to by
our New Orleans contemporary, is one t-with
which our citizens have been made familiar du
ring the last three dayt. Jf ih;at unrelenting
creditor be not totally lost to every feeling of
sensibility and humanity, what tortures must
prey upon hi soul when he reflects lhat for a
few pxulry dollars he has murdered his fellow
man, and carried anguish and sorrow into an in
terestingffnily circle, where not only content
meat and happiness, bu even opulence has beeo
wont to dwell. But, we fear, not even the wid
nw's tears nor the orphan's riee will ever reach
the beart of 6oeh a man. Mobile Jldo.
