the views of his advisers have extended,
and is well calculated ; to awaken , the
yiilantapprehensions of all wh are hot
'belie vers in-Presidential infallibility. It
was a. feeler, to isee how far tlie gratitude
I of the nation would carry them. W hy
djd not tha President await the assem-

consult the Representatives of the peo
ple? Si rf tiie answer has been furnished.
He dared upt trust them. He was a
f caid the batik would corrupt the mem

'j, him self the guardianship of the public
moils, hef wished id r emove all temp

Sir, in all free Governments, the right
fcver the pabi'lc money has been retain
ed with jealous care to th,e immediate
representatives of V the people. In the
country from whence we. sprung, it has
been retained with the grasp of death,

theConimop8 of Great Brittam have
from time to ttttte wrung from the neces

Some gentlemen, in this debate,
have expressed an utter de.spair 'of be

nation of the majority. I ath not of
that opinion. True, sir, the Signs are
inauspicious; true, clouds aul dark
ness lie in the perspective.1 till I
will not despair. And why? Because
I address Southern freemen; because I
" address the representatives-of Southern
freemen a people high-spirited, and
magnanimous even to the errors of pub
lic men. j I . will nbt believe that such
men have surrendered their reason,
their consciences, and their judgments,
either to the dictation of the gWash
ington Globe or that of a few afrogant
pretenders here, or that they will lend
their aid to degrade and disgrace a dis-f
tinguished public servant, until I have
conclusive evidence of the fact. And
who, permit me to ask, are these indi
vid uals ; at whose beck you are to come,
and whose bidding you- are to do?
Where are the evidences of their ge
nius? 'Where are the monuments of
their patriotism, wisdom or public
services? - Have -they given you any as-
, surance that they are, or will be safe
counsellors and guides? For, sir, it is
my solemnt conviction that this thing
had its origin, not with the people,
not with the great body of the Jackson,
party in this Assembly, but w?th a
Jew ambitious aspirants; and I appeal
to the members of the party themsel ves
if I am not correct. t '
I call upon this House . to pause in
their career. I warn them, that, whilst
they are about to denounce the sup
posed usurpations . of others, they
themselves are guilty of flagrant usur
pation of the rights of their Constitu
ents. What good is to 'result from
these resolutions? What principle is
tto be advanced? None, Sir; none.
True, we may gratify the vanity of the
Executive true we Xmay:ministerto
his vindictive passions; ami, by our
adulation, intoxicate still more a braitf
already well nigh turned by clouds of
incense. But what then? We do so

many particulars, is the principal, ir
not the ooly check to Executive su
premacy. We convert pur Senators
from being manly and independent
guardians f the - rights of the States
and the liberties of the people, into the
mere supple instruments of power.
Sir, I will not longer- detain the
House." I have discharged with what
ever ability I possessed4 the duty 1
owed my country. As I seek none of
the laurels or honors of this' measure,
so neither shall I be responsible for its
consequences., vVv f ?Tf
We saw a few days since, in the
possession of Mr. Jo. Seawell Jones, of
Sliocco, North Carolina, a massive col
lection of ojd papers, relating: to the
U.'-S. Bank, "All these are grievous history of his native State, and among
them one bundle to which tve wish to
call the attention ' of any gentleman
who may be engaged In the study of
the history of Kentucky, ii It consisted
of Priginal letters from the companions
of Daniel Boone, among whom was
Richard Henderson, one of the Royal
J udjjes, during the administration of
Gov. Tryon. Jlis letters are.al I ele
gantly written, and give much valuable
information respecting the "conduct of
colonists, and the state of the country.
The package likewise contains letters
from John Farrar, Nathaniel Hender
son, Judge Johtf Williams, and Wm.
Johnston, ivb.6 were all connected with
tlie " Transylvania ExpedTuion."
These letters are elated v Boonsbo
rough;" Tra.nsyl vania," Towel's
Valley," and other places not now re
collected, .arid range from 774 to
1780. They give much new light on
the early history of Kentucky, and
contradict much that we have ' seetf in
print, on the subject of Boone's ad ven
tres. Our object in writinthis nci
tice, is tosay that re have uo doubt
it would afford Mr. Jones much plea

True, these gentlemen find themselves in a
novel situation, 1 For some years, they have

To make bad; worse, he4 Standard"
ushers forth this production in pompous
style and invites general attention toit, be
cause . it expresses the sentiments of the
great body of the Republicans of the State,
on the subject of the Public Lands, in lan
guage so plain and perspictkmi, ind 3 so
clear in its reasoning and irresistible in, Us
conclusions." But for the well known re
lations; of tlie 44 Standard," thii would be
cutting irony ! " Plain, . perspicuous and
clear, where all is hidden, dark and confused-,
and when very reader" ( save one of,
the train band)vill feel under deep obliga
tion for the information, that the amount of
it is, "that the signers could not vote for
the Resolutions in the shape tn which they
were brought forward' "
4 It seems then, the signers could swallow,
the substance, but disliked the shadow, and
voted against the reality because the "shape
did not suit their fancy; and this, is tlie
"irresistible conclusion" to which public
attention is called. Dr. Henderson should
learn to make his Pills to suit the fancy of
delicate stomachs; but as he was inexora
ble; and insisted that jthe shape of the Pill
which he had made round, should not be al
tered, they insist it was a hard case upon
them, and that they have good reason to a-'
buse their old friends who had assisted in
hastening ;on the election of Bnoww, and in
hurrying throughthe instructions to Man
gum, for taking sides with te Doctor, and
utterly refusing to alter the shape, by divi
ding, striking out or glossing over. The
Protest, which is very plain, perspicuous,
clear in Us reasoning and irresistible in its
conclusions, does not give the reason which
induced their old friends to desert them in
this extremity, It is true, there was a. de
sertion -there was a falling off a portion
of the party 44 disobeyed orders" and voted
for: principle--there was a majority of 82
to 32. This is an irresistible conclusion,
but how did, it happen ? c Was it, as is in- .
sinuated inHhis perspicuous document, be
cause a portion of the party voted for the
Resolutions toithout understanding them?
Or, was it, because they knew the will of
the people and had the honesty and indepen
dence to obey it? V5- '..
But the signers further complain, that
they were forced to vote upon a difficult, and
perplexing question, abPutwhich they pro
fess to be ignorant- Is this plain, is this
candid, is this fair ? Or do they really with
it to be believed, that although they are lead
ers, although they had instructed our Sena
tor upon a question of high political impor
tance, yet they were in truth ignorant, and
wished time to collect information upon a
subject to which the attention of the people
4vas called by the President in hisftrst mes
sage, which hasbeen discussed year after
year, in both branches ofCongress, which
was fully commented upon in die Presiden
tial Veto and specially committed to the Le
gislature Jby the Governor's Message. ;If
this be true, and they seek to preserve-their
character, for plainness and candor, by the
plea of ignorance, surely theywill no long
er insist that their instructions" sliall be
obeyed, ;, i; -
There is one other irresistible conclusion
to which the Protest bringaT us. The 41 in
structions" to Maxgum passed the Com
mons by a vote of 12 -die Senate by 5 in
all 17. The Land -Resolutions passed tlie
Commons by 50, and were laid on tlie ta
ble in the Senate by 6 votes- majority 44.
'Now' the 44 irresistible conclusion' is, th$t
Mangum tntwf obey the majority of 17, but
Brows must not obey tlie; majority' of 44,
because these Resolutions. are not to be con
strued as all other Resolution' and Act of
Assembly ace, according, to their plain im
port and meaning, but arc to be connected
to, and influenced by, certain other; circum
stances, viz : What was said in debate -
the course taken by certain gentlemen up
on the Resolutions respecting Mr. Max-gum-
the late period of the session, which
preveh ted the leaders from reading over the
Veto! ; which made it difficult for: most of
them to come to a conclusion, and:induced
others to keep outof the House J And be
cause, as is well added by the Standard,'
these Resolutions raace not in the; "-right
shape ! " . :

Since the publication o our paper of
Saturday last, information which has
reached u from various quarters, leaves
no doSbt of the insanity of Lawrence, the
i; unhappy individual who attempted to dis
charge two pistols at the President of the
United States, in the portico of the Cap
itol, oh Friday. The persons who know
him are not surprised ' at tHe occurrence,'
:;and would hardly have beeh surprised at
any thing he had "..ne or attempted. , He
has, it appear, fancied himself to be some
other person than himself f to have mis
taken his own -identity Or at Iea9t to
have misunderstood his relations with the
rest of the world. When being conduct
ed from the Capitol to the Marshal's Of
fice, he answered to the questions as 'to
his mouve,r that he intended to kill Gen
Jackson because Gen. Jackson had kilted
his father.1 When asktd'agBiin,;Aow Gen.
Jackson killed his father, ?)ie' Would kn
