At the com mencement of the session of Congress, in 1830 '31, this war, of pahn on the one side, and reason on the other, was so nearly brought t.a close.. 4W to enable the President and Vice Pre sident to circulate an account of it, in manuscript. On its perusal, there could be but one opinion among the intelligent and disinterested part of the community. The vindication of Mr. Calhouu was, on all hauds, acknow ledged to be complete.

The tyranny of the President, in this attempt to control the domestic rr lationa of the. famiUet oJjje;, J leads i!ipi&iBj ill iheiitstory of ai-tTee--Governinentj and cannot be kurpassed by any act of despotism in tUe lives of the Auto crats of Russia.

It does surpass all belief that the cool, dispassionate and- un principled wire-wwrktr io this lot khoulu, by such means, render him- selt acceptable to a tree, generous, paiotic, , an J enlightened people. I'here-is one view which I have taken of the subject that, while it affords an apology tor General Jackson's con duct, offers nothing in extenuation of ttie ifui't or his ftlr bT6oJed abettor. It i- wll, known that during the can vass, for, 4h - Preside oct io 1814, the party with which the- gentleman front Warren stands connected, the .Van Buren party, grossly anu vilely, tu my opinion, slandered the character ot Ms,-Jackso -This- 4he - genlnao koows w done in a variety of wavs: id public and in private circfes, firough the (nediuin of their presses, and by the circulation, in this State, of thousands and tens of thousands of the Benton pamphlets.

Cert iin it is he was beyond the reach of reason, and was induced to believe that the attacks on his friend Eaton were intended for himr that the case was indeed his own. His generous feelings have been thus aroosed, and a Ivantagr taken of them. Here it may not be inappropriate to enforce the truth.,. have been... pre senting to the Senate, by introducing a' let'er which I received from the Hon.

Before I read the letter, I will state to the Senate th-it the gentleman professed to be iay ardent friend whilst I was Se cretary of the Navy, and thus be came tittimately acquainted with the causes which embarrased, and finally dissolved the Cabinet.

Jackson's first Cabi net. Such facts should never indeed have disgraced the annals of our country: Out am I responsible for them? Surely not. . I have certainly been the victim of-the malign influences which they have generated, which now control the whole patronage of the General Government, and threaten to sap the foundations r.f public liberty. Having clearly established their exis tence, & depicted their corrupting ten dencies, i feel that I have a right to call on every friend to the institutions of oux.coo.ntrr tut abitain from, the a-, dontion of any measures- calculated to pfoino4er!2atewlI3? Uuences are ypu nowabout to act? Those very intlueHces agajnst which I have been endeavoring to guard you. By their official agenc, theyftare i'sued their mandate, and, through an p- propriatt organ, have called upon you to oner up as a sacrifice one ot your most distinguished fellow citizens. What has he done to deserve the stigma you are attempting to fasten on liTs cha racter? Has he deserted the principles that carried him into the senate? Mo, I deny it, ami challenge you to the proof. What then? It is true, he has called in question the infallibility of Gen.. Jackson, in saying he had no rigWte'4--ip that, in doing so. he had encroacheti on . ihe power f Congrv Had he not Stter Nay, inwrcin itefiance'ofte a risht so to act? I umintain that Jie I corded" pledKesi . lie has apnointetf had, and defy you to show where the right has been denied, for the last hlty years, either in this country or Great Britain,l)id not the genleiaanfrom Warren exercise the same right, while a member of the House of Representa tives of the United States, in 1819, in Fetation to this same Gen. Jackson? I assert that he did, and will prove it from the Journals of Congress. In 1819, Gen. Jackson, with orders from his Government, to bring the war with the Siminole Indians to a speedy termination, . captured and executed two vile incendiaries, Arbuthnot and Ambristec, & pursued the hostile tribe to Peusacola, where they had taken shelter at time tbe Gover n metit -wf Spain was too imbecile to perlorin her neu tral duties. -This the gentleman and his party then said was a victual tier clarafien of "war 'agam si "Spain, and, as the Constitution gave to Congress the power tn declare war, .thai. Gen Jack-J son had tn vailed the rights or that body, and violated the Constitution by the oc cupation of Pensacola and the Baran cas. They accordingly " ReenWei), Thai th lal aeisure f Ihe Span ish poM, ol Penucola and San Carlo it Harm at, in Wew Kloriila, by the army of lha United State,, waa eonlraiy to th Constitution of the United OUtet." Now what right had he thus to cen sure Gem Jackson for having violated the Constitution, if Judge Mangutn had no right to pass a similar censure or exercise a umilar power? I speak of the abstract right. Again: I would ask what right had he to defend the le gislative powers of the House of Re presentatives, which does not equally belong to n .member of the Senate of the United States? The legislative powers of -the -Senate-are xoextentive with those of the House, with the ex ception of the power to originate reve nue bills. Does the gentleman from Warren desire (he floor to explain? Mr. Edwards remarked, that "the House were legitimately! n the exercise of their impeaching- powers." Ah! said Mr. Branch. Ho you call this the process used in originating and preparing articles of impeachment? Docs not this partake of all the attri butes of a judicial sentence, as just ex plained by the gentleman himself? Gan. Jackson was here not only ar raigned, but condemned by the gentle- """'sat'"" votes,- without an opportu- nity ot betu;; heard in selt-uelcnce, The gentleman was his jildge, his fu ror ami witness, tie condemned him first ; in order that he might impeach him afterwards. How supremely ab surd! . taiu : .- Civil - officers-; only - are consUlunonslty bletT;tCpeacft: incut. Docs the gentleman again de sire the floor to explain? If so, it will be cheerfully yielded to him. Here Mr. hd wards observed, "he would take occasion, in his reply, to explain." It is manliest the gentleman is embar rassed by life ihcohiTsfency oThis con- unci, ljei ,meenireai nim, men, to pause and abstain from the consumma tion of this partizan act, which, while it purports, on its face, to condemn Mr, Mangum, will thrire, on record, condemn himself. If it is his object to expunge from. the ura.l"TT Con gress all censure of IrfenV Jackson for violating the Constitution, he should move to atnaud the resolutions by in cluding his own votes censuring Gen. Ja'ckson for the execution of Arbuthnot and Ambristcr,' and the forcible occu pation of JPensaxola and the Barrancas. Th only "difference between the two gentlemen is " this: when' the" gentle man from Warren censured General Jackson, the General was powerless, snd had no patronage to dispense When Mr- Mangum censured him, he hail everr thing to risk, and nothing to gain. Ijis elevated and patriotic bearing entitles him to the plaudits of ins countrymen but he has certainly vieided up all claims to the favor of the Administration. In the exercise of J tis high ttasprial power, which yon have gratuitously assumedy w by-shrink , from the discharge of jour Whole duty ; Is it because Gen. Jacksons conduct may be called in question? -Does he, too,, poaM?JAere rising him to do what no body else has a right to do? When we dissolved our connexion with the mother coun try, we repudiated the doctrine of the divine right of Kings; but, it seems, this odious attribute of royalty is lo be revived untler a new name. With a hope that vou would dispenre justice to alt parties, I have passed in review before you the abuses ol Air. Adams's administration, let me en treat you to go along with mV, in coin paring the abuses of this administra tion with those of the preceding one. M r. Adams's you have condemned in the uiosU-uumeasuwd '-teems Will yoo approv in this-what yon bave enn- tretmirtrm-rthafjfrv w-e -sJiaMeJA Adams e i ; pressed TKeopiTrt0nV that tt was competent for him alone to appoint Ministers to Panama. But' he took care not to exercise the power. Gen. Jackson eXDiesaed-.no opinion, but, without the consent of the Senate, he actually sent a Minister to the Otto man Porte, and hat, in utter contempt of the Stnate, and in palpable violation ol Uie Constitution, put men in office," who had previously been rejected by the Senate, on hi nomination for the tame pfncex as for instance, the case of Guinn. Mr. Clay displaced a Tew printers, who had been appointed by his predecessor to print the laws of Ltmirea te'iu, Jackstrti i)A8 iluiie. tM same thing through his Secretary of scores el partlzan editors to olhces ol profit ami honor. Against this I re- monstrateti at the. time: ana yet, sir, truh jonipels. ine t'1! in one instance, 1 participateT inlf. Without the knowledge of Gen. Jack son, I appointed your newly elected state Printer to a highly lucrative of lice in the Navy, U'hence he hat been tent lo you. You, my fnend from Burke, tnav smile; but you advised it. W he ther .. . w e ser ed the- country, - or strengthened the t malign . influences with which we are now grappling, lime will determine. I must acknowledge, however, that 1 have some misgivings, I may now ask, what has General Jackson not done to corrupt the pi ess, and make it suoseryient to his pur- poaesf Permit me to lay belore you n- instanc e. of -the; indirect, acrioa-.of the government, through its patronage, oh a leading press in the Old Domin ion a press which M rr-Van liureo,- -I know, was anxious to conciliate, and bind bv the strongest cords. I mean the "Richmond Enquirer." When Mr. Stephenson was nominated To the senate of the United status as Minn tcr to England, J was lost in wonder; for I well knew Gen. Jackson's opin ion of hi in ; it was never disguised. When, sir, I separated from General Jackson, but a short time previous to his determination to appoint Mr. Ste- fhenson Minister to the Court of St. atnes, he did not regard him as "worth the powder and ball it would take to kill him Tint ten erprettion J have heard used or astente i lo by him, and candor compels me to admit that I heartily concurred with Gen. Jackson in his estimate of Mr. Stephenson's worth; When -the- "developements which took place in the Senate of the United States were laid before the public, more particularly the corres pondence between William B. Lewis and Mr. Ritchie, the mystery was un ravelled, and thus it appears that the first diplomatic appointment in the gift of the President was conferred on MrT Stephenson for the patriotic pur-' pose ol conciliating this Editor. Again: the last year of Mr. Adams's administration, he expended a little upwards of twelve millions of dollars. Gen. Jackson, the last year of his ad ministration, expended : nearly lu ble - that- sumr-' You charged Mtr Adams with negligence and prodigsli ty; but have no censures to impose on this economical administration t Where are the pledges, we made to the people, to curtail expenses and a bolish useless edlices?

Can you overlook the means which are daily practiced to control the freedom of our elections, and thus virtually take, from the peo ple the right to choose a successor to Gen. Jackson? In whatever direction you turn your eyes, vou have the most convincing proof that the money, and the offices which belong to the people are bestowed with a lavish hand to in fluence their choic.
