I do not wish the author of this article any other punishment than that the People should read his com mumcauou in the Globe of the 19th of Feb ruary, 1839.

Dear Sir: Our attention nas been called to a publication in the Globe of tnis day, signed A. Duncan, which denies that the speech as published in the Intelligencer, purporting to he your "Kcply to Dr. Dun can, of Ohio," on the 17th day of January, 1839, was ever delivered by you in the House of Representativ es. Wc were pres ent when you replied to Dr. Duncan on that clay, and heard your remarks through- and feel bound in justice and truth to ten der to you our testimony that the said re port of your remarks in reply to Dr. Dun can, on the 17th of January, 1839, is, ac cording to our recollection, in which we are confident, more faithful and correct than re ports of speeches in the House of Represen tatives are usually; that it is nearly, if not quite, verbatim correct; and, if incorrect in any respect, it is less severe than were your remarks on the floor. We add, also, that your remarks seemed to be extempo raneous and at the moment you regretted you had not a copy of Dr. Duncan's letter on the subject of abolition; and it was, we thought, from the expression of this regret thai .Air. Slaue (of Vermont) openly haiuied you .a copy of that letter, from which you read several extracts. We beg leave lo express to you our indi vidual respect and esteem, and are, most truly, your friends. S. S. PRENTISS, RIi;IlAKD CHEATHAM, JOHN BULL, CHARLES N AY LOR, WM. KEY BOND, T. J.

Dear sir: I listened very attentivelv to your speech in reply to Mr. Duncan, on the 17lh of January last, and have since that time read the report of it in the National Intelligencer. It strikes me that speech is reported with the accuracy usual in Con- gressional debates, and especially in those portions of it which personally referred to the member irom Uluo. indeed, m regard to that portion of the printed speech 1 have remarked some mitigation of the severity of the phrases used. It you consider it important that I should give my recollection of the lime oc cupied by you in speaking on that occasion, 1 can say my impression is that vou occu- W f M. pied the floor but little short of an hour. You spoke some time before a copy of Mr. Duncan's answers to certain inter rogatories respecting abolition could be found in the House; and after a cony of them had been procured, you read large extracts from them, and commented upon them in the manner in which your remarks appear in your speech. rl V- . 1 i ruiy, yours.

Hon. Edward Stanly. House of Representatives, . Feb. 21, 1839. My Dear Sir: I was in my seat in the HoiKse, during the delivery of your speech ot the 17th January. I have endeavored to recall to mind my first impressions of the length of time you were on the floor, and confidently say that it was from three-quarters of an hour to an hour. As regards the fidelity with which the speech has been re ported, I repeat what 1 have frequently said, that I have never seen a printed speech snore true to the oral one than yours, and this opinion 1 know-to be coincident vvith that of several other members of our House, who, like mv self, had the pleasure t uciug present wiien you spoke. A vj tW-inie tu , you and Mr. Siade, 1 considered it a mere incident, unworthy of particular remark. ou, in the course of your speech, when commenting upon Dr. Duncan's letter, ex pressed a regret that you did not have it at hand. I then saw Mr. Slade (who happen ed to be sitting near you; proffer a paper to you, which I presumed was the letter, be cause you read extracts from it as from thai letter. I observed no other communication between you and him; and I maybe permit ted to add that if nny thing to your injur) with your constituents can be manufactur ed out of such merely incidental circumstan ces, I shall be much mistaken in their char acter. I am, dear sir, very respectfully, yours, J. JACKSON, of Georgia, lhe Hon. Edward Stanly. House of Representatives, February 21, 1839. Sir: Your note of esterday has just been handed to me, and, in reply to it 1 say thai i heard your speeech delivered in this House on the 17th ultimo, in answer to nr. Duncan, of Ohio, and have since read it as published in pamphlet form, and in the iNationn Imp 7. " ice- speaiung. l nave complied with your re flection of particular remarks made in this quest, and feel no hesitation in saying that I must say that I thought your sneech. as ... uap.uui a35uuu as mm ouiers, delivered quite as severe as the published remarks, and I think I have rarely seen a speech more faithfully reported accordin g to my best recollection. Very respectfully, I am your ob't servant, G. W. HOPKINS. Hon. E. Stanly. I fully concur with my friend and col league Mr. Hopkins, in the above state ment. I recollect distinrtlv mnst nf ihn striking remarks in the published speech. A. STUART. Being called upon by Mr. Stanly to say whether I heard his speech in reply to Mr. Duncan, and whether the report of it in the xNationai Intelligencer is accurate, I state that 1 heard the speech and have read the report of it, and believe the report to be in substance faithfully written out, according to my oest recollection. J. GARLAND. Washington, February 21. 1839. Sir: I see a publication in the Globe of tne I y th l eoruary , 1839, signed A. Duncan, denying that you made the remarks in the House of Representatives, which were published in the National Intelligencer in answer lo Dr. Duncan, on the appointment oia committee to investigate the defalca tions at the custom-house in the city of New York. When Mr. Stanly began his speech, 1 was sitt ing near the fire-D ace in the southwestern p.irt of the House, read ing some papers, and did not then distinct ly hear his remarks, but, after a short time. my attention was attracted by Mr. Stanly stating his intention to comment upon a let ter in relation to abolition, which purpor ted to be written by Dr. Duncan. I then left my distant position, and drew near enough to hear Mr. Stanly make his re marks on that letter, which I had seen and read in the newspapers. After I took my seat oa the inside of the bar and near the vacant space in front of the Speaker's chair, 1 heared all the remarks of Mr. Stanly delivered in the continuation of his speech on that occasion. I attended par ticularly to the passages and extracts which he read from Dr. Duncan's letter, which he held in his hand, and to the comments and remarks of Mr. Stanly upon the opin ions and sentiments expressed in that let ter. When the remarks of Mr. Stanly in answer to Dr. Duncan's speech were pub lished in tne National Intelligencer, in the early part of this month, 1 read them. .... 1.1 1 I L l! .. l Delieveu men, anu i Deneve now, tnal many of the very words and sentences found in the printed speech were used by Mr. Stanlv in his verbal speech- in debate: j - j and that the speech published is substan- m irw1tT,,Iy Ihe-ame which was delivered in the 'h it i R !G ?TeSent:Uives- Kesnectfulk- J a tr.N hraham lothe Hon. Edward Stanly. Washington, Feb. 21, 1S39. Ueir. Sir: By comparing your speech published with our recollection of it as delivered in reply to the lion. A Duncan of Ohio, on the 17th ult we feel no hesitation in staling, that jt nis been correctly reported; and by this we do not mean merely to say that the report embodies the thoughts and sentiments conveyed by you while speak ing, but preserves throughout, with remar kable fidelity the very words and phrases in which you uttered them. 'Very respectfully, A. II. SHEPPERD. EDMUND DEBERRY. To the Hon. E.-Stanly. I did not hear the whole of Mr. Stanlv's speech. I heard distinctly, I suppose, two thirds, perhaps three-fourths of it: and I s.iv that it is, I believe, so far as I did hear, very ' ' u ar as i uiu near, very much so, I think as any 'other speech 1 uavu ncuiu or read. LEWIS WILLIAMS. From the distance at which I sat from Mr. Stanly's seat, I could not hear him dis liii' tly, but from what I did hear, I have no hesitation in giving it as my opinion that the speech as reported is correctly given, i have never before heard its correctness questioned. A. RENCHER. I have read the foregoing statement of Messrs. Shepperd and Deberry, and fully concur with them in opinion. JOHN W. CROCKETT. Sir: You did me the honor to address to meanoie, enclosing the rough notes of your speech, in regard to Mr. Duncan's letter on the subject of abolition, taken by meat the time, and from which you afterwards wrote out the speech assince published with a re quest that I would compare the published speech with the notes, and then say whether it did not correspond with them, and did not foil : ted as having been taken by you when" j it aoes. uandorle.ids me turther to say, that the speech very fully agrees with mv recollection of it, as delivered; that it is much less extended than is usual when members write out their speeches from Reporters' notes: and that you have not in serted in the published speech all that was spoken in the House. As to the time oc cupied in its delivery, if you said, asl think you did, that you had occupied but fifteen minutes, 1 am persuaded you were uncon scious ol the lapse ol time. Jiy impression is that you spoke, in all, including thu reading of extracts from the letter, at least nan an nour. You are at liberty to make what use you please ot the above, which a sense ot lusdict induces me to furnish at your request; but I pray, at the same time, that I may not be drawn into the very unpleasant controver sy between yourself and Mr. Duncan fur ther than sheer necessity shall demand. With sincere regard, I am, sir, your obedient servant, ARTHUR JO. STANSBURY, Reporter for the Nat. Intelligencer. Hon. Air. Stanly. The letter published in the Globe of the 19th instant, affords much material for comment. Besides the misstatements as to the correctness of the reported speech, others are very apparent. But I cannot deliberately condescend to expose this in dividual, who is already punished more than he can bear. 1 cannot believe hp. i in earnest in using such harsh epithets to wards me. He no doubt intended m speak of me as he did of slavery, as it ex ists in "the slave States in our Union," inerely'in the abstract?" He has presen ted abolition petitions since he voted on the Atherton resolutions, tie is a democratic Van Buren friend of the South, and of course he is willing to let slavery continue in this District and the Stales he only wishes to abolish ituin the abstract." Self respect, regard for the opinion of my friendsrespect for my constituents all forbid that I should condescend to notice the author of such a communication. I owe an apology to the gentlemen whose respect I possess and prize, for hav ing noticed this individual at all. I know it was a contest in which I could gain no laurels. But he had been constituted the defender of the Administration; the speech maker, by authority," of the party; the libeller of Southern institutions. He had attended the caucus, with the Democratic Esaus the exclusive friends of the South with the monopolizers of all the chivalry in our land; and 1 availed myselt oi the opportunity, I submitted to the disagreeable necessity of.using the bodkinand shears" upon him, for the purpose of exposing the ) Vol. XrXo. 14. i Southern humbuggi, chivalry democrat?), W,,en he ?P0ke of T.Crcsers and Hercu- Ins.

And thru rpmnrked I wished to say something in reply to his praises of Tap- pan; ins denial that there Were any licmo cratic abolitionists, &.c.

EDWARD STANLY. List of Lost Bills --In a lother column will be found the bills f98 in number) ma tured in the Senate which were sacrificed to partisan purposes by the majority in the House. Many very important measures, the result of laborious preparation in com- mntees, and anxious deliberation in the Senate, were sunk, without a moment's consideration, in the turmoil created by such statesmen as Messrs. Wise, Prentiss, Graves, Bell, STANLY, Slade, &c. We will, hereafter, give the details of some of these lost bills, that the public may be able loesiimalethe compensation obtained in the labors lo which these very distinguished personages, who commanded the majority of the House, directed its efforts during the last session. In the meantime, a mere glance at the titles of the defeated bills, will make it plain that the coalition in the House of Representatives has earned for it a distinction greater than that for which a certain Parliament of England was celcbra ted by Lord Coke, as most remarkable, be cause, "there was not one good law made thereat. The last House of Represen tatives will be remembered for the many good laws put down by its veto. Every bill sent by the House to the Sen, ate was acted on, and not a bill that had been reported on favorably by a commit tee, remained on their table at the close of the session. Globe. Mr. Clay Abolition. Some of the federal editors in this State insist that we ought to publish Mr. Clay's 'great speech77 against Abolition. Every thing of this sort will be done on our own mo tion, and not at the Suggestion or dictation of federal whiggery its impudence will be unavailing in this regard. For many years Mr. Clay heard the charge of Abolition against Mr. Van Buren, and as the Mil Iedgeville (Georgia) Standard of Union justly remarks, "so long as there was a prospect ot making it available in favor of Judge White, Mr. Clay was as silent as death, ahho' he knew as well at that time as he does now, that it was a vile slander, intended for no other purpose than to cre ate a false impression on themindsof South ern men. 7 On this subiect Mr. Clav usn the folllovving language: "Previous to the late Presidential elec tion, Air. Van Buren had been charged with being an abolitionist. He (Mr. C.) never participated or believed in this charge. No, sir, he is no abolitionist. He denied that Congress had any power to legislate upon the subject of slavery. ' For the above paragraph the federalist would have the friends of Mr. Van Buren to be veryT grateful. Had it been produced in season to do justice to the injured party, Mr. Clay would have been entitled to the thanks of the people. But the people have done justice to Mr. Van Buren, and that high sanction requires not this tardy game of a political shuffler.
