The following is an extract from the Speech delivered by Vlr. Southgate of Kentucky, on the Treasury Note Bill. lt will be read with great interest by all who want lijjht ! . 1 - Mi. Chairman, Idesire distinctly to be understood, and herein my place, before iff e assembled. Representati yes of the P-eo-pe, t charge the fact to be, and challenge any gentleman friendly to the Adminis tration to deny, if he dare, (and jf he does, Ilwill prove the charge from the record,) that your Iat73 office reteivers, in and out of office, have in. their hands the enor mous sum of One milliotji nine hu nd red and frtiy thousand dollars, (81,950,000;) that y'pu'f def i tilting custom-house officers npt nbiy in office, but vvhpj have been 'fully sorfeited and given vny for a fresh set; hjive in their hands the "round sum of one njillion four ; hundred and twenty-seven thousand four hundred and ten dollars, 6(1,427,410,) mnking,! in all, three mil; libns three hundred and seventy-seven thousand four hundred and ten dollars,; ($3,377,410.) Nor, sir does thisisum in cjude the two thousand and more pf de fitulting postmasters; npr are the custom house receivers now in office, who are ce- fdulters to the Government,; andjither re ceiv.ers and disbursers af the public revt nue, embraced in this estimate; because the Secretary of thelf reasury, for rea-1 sons best known to himself, has declined ta give His the information. And, sir, that the committee and this nation may fully understand the subterfu ges and shuffling evasions of the Secreta ry of theTreasury; iti endeavoring to conceal from us the true condition of those in office; and the afnount of the defalcation, I beg to refer, the committee to the-resolution which ppssed this House on the motion of the honorable gentleman from Virgini.i, (Mr. Garland,) and which, together with the novel reasons of the Secretary, L shall read in support of the bharge and for the edification of the committee, i Liere is the resolution ; I ; -i Resolvt-d, That the Secretary of the Treasury coininunicate to this Houseas early in the next session as practicable, the names of all receivers, collector or depositories of the public money, who are if) 'default fothe Governmentj the' amount of such default ; the length of lime due ; l.the. security giyn. if 4ny,i,aUd. how mt?ch K-l - ' "ir ii i i: . . ' I nas oeeti, or win nicely oe, iost; iogeiner with a copy of all correspondence upon ijie subject, from the 1st of Januafy,T834, t this time." u' A A' ' : i ' - This resolution was adopted at the ex tfa session,.and it not only required the Secretary of the Treasury to send up the Raines of all receivers, collectors order lositories of-the public money, who are ijri default," hut to send us also all the cor-ifes-po rule nee iti relation to the subject.. I repeajt sir, the Secretary will ordered- to Inform us who arejin default." ;The resolution was general, full, and compre lensive ; Vf quiring the names of all " who 4r? in o'tfuuli'those. in office, as well 'as those out of office. And, sir, instead of coniplyihg with the plalnand simple mean Ing of this' resolution, apparent uponits fhcf, and which could; have been under $ood by any schoolboy in my district of teh 'years of age, he liaise n't us, for our Edification, a list of public defaulters, who w ere not in -office on the 12th of October, 1837! Not one word, not one name, or one letter, with reference to those defaul ters, who are in office. And in order tfhe iriore effectually to divert our at tention trom the true abject of the inquiry, Snd say something which he supposed would satisfy my honorable, friend from Virginia, Mr. Garland, who was curious to kridw the true'eonditioh of these biped lub-treasurers, he gives us in his report the following most extraordinary. reasons. He sa)-s:- . - '.' j A : I "But it will be seen that they do not jnclude'any cases connected with the Post Office Department, as its concerns have jsually been, kept separate, and are sup posed not to he embraced in the purviews )i the resolution. For similar reasons, he cases of dibursihgj officers, attached o the army and navyj or to lher depart ments, and former purchasers of public irfnds, are not included, though the in debtedness of many! of them is very great." ' ' " A '1 . . L What, Mr. Chairman, doe3 the Secre tary mean, when he speaksl of " individuals"-" such as merchants and former purchasers of public lands V These are not the " individuals" embraced m this resolution. Why, eir.-jthis is a downright insult to tne understanding of the House. Does the Secretary suppose! we are so stupid najto believe tnat mere are any merchants" who are defaulters to the Govern meu't, as 44 collector?, receivers, oV disbursers of the public revenue? ,No such thing. Tbey owe the Government, it is true,! for duties on goods imported ; bat. does it therefore follow tharthey are defaulters within the (resolution to which 1 have referred f , Secretary, more-: over, IcneW thathy a law of the eitra ses sion, these merchant? were permitted, on certain conditions, to withhold payment for the periods and upon the conditions therein. provided. So much for the mer chants. And then comes the. "former purchasers of publit lands " Why, ir, I am astonished. : Who is it that OWCS the Government t,he first dollar as a " for mer purchaser of public lands?" The Secretary ought to know, as every body knows, that the formerpurchasers of pub 1 i c 1 a n d?, mad e u n d er t be credit system s, have long since either relinquished ; the purchase and obtained scrip therefor, or Torfeited the land to the Governmenti I appeal to every Western man now before me to ay whether or hot I am right " You know, (pointing to Mr. Hamer of Ohio,) you know, sir, that your Secretary either knows nothingjabetit this matter, or i. wilfully practising a "deception upon this House and this nation. j 1 am sensible Mr. Chairman, that this may be considered somewhat of a digres sion from the .main question, but I have been forced into this debate, at this late hour, against my will; and if you are rendered the least unhappy, in conse quence of some of the exposures which nave Deen made, you must, take the " ponsibility" on yourselves. I have yet done either with the Secretary or defaulters, or with the chairman of Committee of Ways and Means. res- nol his the The Secretary rave us at the extra ses- sion, as a reason for withholding from the States the. fourth instalment, (which Jwas passed by a party vote,) that the money was " chiefly" in "the' hands of the oifice holders, and not in the banks. AndJiri if these defaulting , office, holders had then been compelled to disgorge the jrhil 1 ions of the peoples money in their hand??; the necessity of withholding the foilrtbl in stalment would not have existed, and the pressing necessity for Treasury riotes greatly diminished. , And, Mr, whi !e - 1 am on this subject, t Remand to know where these six millions and upwards ol the people's money have gone? If j the House will take Up'a resolution; which 1 submitted long since, calling for infdrma tion on this subject, I am persuaded) "we willnow all about it. Rut, air, where is the money ? , A , . At the time the tleposite law. passed, the fourth instalment was in the Treasury, or reported to be there. It is not in t the banks, because I have shewn you there are only four millions there. It is not in the Treasury, because the Secretary says He has not. got money enough, even in 1 reasury notes-, to last him two davs It is therefore clear that the Secretary has taken the funds which by law were or dred to be' deposited with the Stalest and appruprmieu me same looiner purposes ; or he. kneur, or should have known, that a very large amount thereof and for aught I know, moretwas in the hands of .his own defaulting office holders, and that information, although expressly called for, has been evaded and withheld from the people's representatives. . I Mr. Chai-man, 1 do not make these charges, wi hout ' having the evidence -before me to vstfin them. Sir, the -correspondence touching the defalcations of land office receivers, has at last been laid on our tables. (I wish that every man in thi? nation had one.) 'The special agent, Mr. Garesche, appointed to exa mine i nto the condition of these office?, reporttd to the Secretary of the Treasury, on the 14lh day of June, that the land office receiver at Columbus, Mississippi, was a defaulter to the Government in the sum of $5a,965 54, and gives as a reason for his defalcation, that he had been " led away from his duty by the ex ample of his predecessor," and that 'another; receiver would probably follow m the footsteps of the two ;" and there upon recommends hi3 " being retained in preference to a new appointment" and, for aught I know, he was retained. J , j Do you remember, Mr. GhairmaD, that when a late Administration . came tinto power, in thvir laudable zeal to ferret out public plunderers,; they found one poor Auditor, who was d faulter for sbmejfew, fiundred dollars, and that forthwith his good and chattels were seized and sold, and his body: imprisoned,-hunted down, like a felon, with denunciations from high; plces? ' Let him rot in prison. for he has not only used the money of my people but has dared to interfere with the freedom of elections..
