That these evils have been brought up qn the. country py the present Adminis tration has .frequently been asserted in the two Houses of Congress, and the sen timent: has been so often resolved to be true. in political;mectings of the people, that it requires some hardihood to doubt "its correctness.

So long as that divinity which hedges the Chiel Magistracy of the country is protected from the rude assaults of his opponents, the delinquency of the subor dinates is unnoticed. The Constitution undoubtedly intended the Chief Magis trate for the responsible head of the Go vernment; but it never supposed his name I J U - 1 1 .1 I. . i . . . wouiu uc a suieiu ueninu wnicii every species ot IgnorancearitKcorruption cou it is not so. sir. It arises Irom the be lief that this Government always has been and always will be, unfairly and impar tially administered. Whether it be that our Constitution is one ol those unfortu nate instruments which cannot be cor rectly construed, or from the unimprov able condition of the Southern country, the fact is, a large portion of the South ern people find themselves as they were at the Revolution, a proscribed and stan dered people, with a Government alien to them in feeling, and administered ad versely to their interests a Government which, while it draws annually front un abused and derided population millions of uionev, yet, with. a most culpable and cowardly imbecility, exposes that popu lation iiol only to the insidious assaults of an implacable domestic enemy, but likewise to the open violence of a foreign IOC. ; ( , Return back to those who pay the lar ger part some portion of the public mo ney not essential to the administration of the Government, you may go on in your disgusting squabbles for the Presi dency : the people will be satisfied with her vast exoenses : wl this small approach to virtue If Rome be served, and glorious, Careless they by whom. To the Southern Country the distribu lion of the surplus revenue offers the on ly practicable mode of obtaining any share whatever in the enormous appropriations oi public money which are made at every session ot Congress. tfrom the jreogra among u; mere is out utile spc its population in those public works which absorb such vast sums. The western parts of New Vork are indented with harbors made at the expense of: the nation : the present Vice President, al though embarrassed with as many con stitutional scruples as fall to the lot of most men, has had fortune buckled on his back, because the United States have most pertinaciously insisted upon mak iug a harbor somewhere near his proper ty. Now, sir, I do:not complain of this, 1 rather urge it as an objection to a. sys- letn, wiiien, in spite or an the honest endeavors of individuals to the contrary. Commercial svstem. was distributed among tjie People of the Union; youhave ,how. ejver, cut off this supply, you KaVe damm ed up the monev of the nation iin the larse cities, and unless there is an riannua! dis tribution ' we in the remote narts . of the ountry can hope for nothing but from the yerflowings of their abundance.

I forbear discussing the objections which have been brought by the office-holders a- gamst apy distribution of the surplus funds. Some take shelter behind your tattered and degraded Constitution ; others are a fraid of corrupting the People ; and, ani mated. with that Roman virtue so common at Washington, as true and sturdy patriots like ancient Cuitius, they plunge into the abyss and corrupt themselves.' There must be, for years to come, an immense surplus revenue areivenue vvhich the utmnst ingenuity of the party has been and will-be unable1 entirely to isquander The svstem of interna! improvement bv the Government-is no more, the necessities of the times do not require large military ap propriations, the tariff can not be disturbed without great individual embarrassment, and bringing upon ha. nation the charges ot bad faith j.why then, should we hesitate to snach from the irresponsible hands of the pet banks and the public officers money which does not belong to them, and which cannot be safely left with them ?" vv e have heard for years past, on this floor, the most extravagant adulation of the People, and devotion to their interests : let us give a proof of our sincerity in the only way in which it can ever'pe tested. North Carolina has. m common with" all the States, a deep interest in this question. She is now commencing a system of inter nal improvement which will entail upon She to procure the funds ? She has siifrerl to j the General Government the custoriTs, the only .safe and profitable mode or public revenue; let us beware how we teach the People of the south to reflect whether they have re ceived an adequate consideration for this most liberal bequest. Let us not by our selfishness, by our cold insensibility to their claims, open their eyes to that inconside rate liberality which gave to such a Gov eminent as this the entire profit upon their industry and their vast natural resources uur institutions are based upon frugality not only in the People, but likewise in their officers ; our legislation has generated an unfortunate state- of society where the 'auri sacra fames" controls eve ry thing, extinguishes every generous and manly teelmg, and condemns. Ithe hungrv seeker after office, a well as the trembling placeman, to the humiliating confession that he caunotaft:rd to be independent. II there is any one characteristic in the official profligacy which now pervades this country more alarming than another, it is Ithe universal sycophancy and ; want of in dependence in those persons who pretend to lead public sentiment. From the hum blest porter at the palace to him that has, of the few honest who submit to its degra ding influence all just discriminatiop be tween ;right' and wrong, aud proscribes from its service all those who wilt not tame, their nature down to do its dirty bid- din For be jnust serve, who. would, sway, And sooth, and sue, and watch all time, and pry into alt place, And be a living lie, who would become A mighty fining amongst tb mean, and such Are party made of. . v - It was once su p posed 4 perhaps it was an error of our ancestors, that honor was the quickening principle of monarchies, virtue of republics, and that those who ministered to the vestal flame should .at least possess a . spark of its purity. Not a virtue content to dwell in decencies forever,.Nbut a virtue that regarded political apostacy equally in famous with private dishonor ; a virtue too pure, united to a soul too proud of filling situations of constant uneamess and un certainty, of exhibiting to the world -the .melancholy spectacle, of a high republican; luncuonury wining to be honest, yet hlram ts avow it, who, when called upon for his opinion upon matters of great national im portance in the morning, said Ay, sir and at noon said No, sir. Yet these things have happened almost daily, and not exci ted our special wonder. Since, then, the seductions of your Go vernment are too great for poor human na ture, let us returH to the poverty aud sim plicity of our ancestors ; let us remove a temptation -vvhich cannot be resisted, and the road to office will again; become the pat!) of duty aiid of honor. It was my intention, at one time, to re fer this petition to the Committee of Ways and Means, with instructions to bring in a bill in conformity with, the prayer of the petitioners. Upon reflection, I will not do so; I will let the petition go untrammell ed to the Committee, and whatever there may be of good issuing from them may per haps suffice. I prefer this course, because, of the two propositions which have heretofore been submitted to this House, I decidedly pre fer the bill tor distributing the proceeds ot the sales of the public lauds ; it is less ob jectionable in principle, and gives equal justice to all parts of the Union. That this most just measure should have met so much hostility, is to me a matter of great amazement. Perhaps it owes its poor sue cess to the misfortunes of being the offspring ol a justly distinguished American States man. If the Committee of Ways and Means would have it rebaptued with some of the cant names of the day, it has merit enough to become even one of the pets of the party. :( I o thosegentlemen who are really de sirous of wresting from this uo its means of bribery and con 1 67 piris were firetj ffwAttyafMauttj yardnf that city j iirlthe 8 1 ri ; j nsti pit they recei pt of news: of thexboice of i; majoritjr of Erectors fcvVabte to the etectinbf 4lr.

I krt.ow.of but one objection at this time to a per manent distribution of the surplus reve nue among the slates j (for 1 cannot be lieve that even the dotage of this absurd administration is prepared to plunge this nation at this time into the difficulties of another tariff discussion.). The real objection to a deposite of the money ot the nation with the States ari ses from the extreme desire. entertained Gy the Secretary of the Treasury and tbe party, of giving to the country a better currency, or, in other words, of enabling sme great Bombast.es turioso to experi ment upon the subject of gold.

Two weeks alter it was performed, he presented himself to the medical class in the amphitheatre, where he wasenablfd to distinguish the features of those who had recently attended him. Nothing satisfactory could be extracted from him on the subject of the difference between those ideas received, formerly through the sense of touch, and those re cently received through that of vision. He did not complain of objects being too near the seat oj vision, and knew, Or could indi cate no difference between his ideas of form now, and before his eyes received their sight." We are not astonished at this, since each sense calls forth its appropriate language ; and until sense of vision is edu cated, there must be a want of correspon dent words by which to make known to others, the nice shades and peculiarities of mental impression resulting from its in cipieut use. . " He was particularly pleased with the ex ercise of vision iu the streets, looking at houses, and trees, and flowers, and men and women 5 but.expressed himself as de lighted 111 gazing at the beautiful fcirls for the first time in his life, having as he said had the pleasure of feeling them only before.
