It mu3t be pleasant to Mr. Polk to sit and lis ten to such remarks from a gentleman, con fessedly one of the most talented and influ ential in the House or the nation : ' Sir, this, I repeat, is plainly a proceed ing by the House on behalf of the People. The Executive has nothing to do with it. It is beyond his functions. It is founded on a power supervisory over the vvhole Government. It involves a display of pre rogative, such as that occasionally exhibited --by the House of Commons, whilst English J liberty was in process; of consolidation. To the House itself, therefore, ought to belong, and must belong, the exclusive di rection of this operation, in its extent, ob jects, and instruments The will of the House should govern in all that concerns it, especially in the Instruments employed to execute that will. In the selection of those instruments, the Speaker might or might not express the will of the House; while a selection of the House, itself necessarily would express it. The Executive ; dreads and it has cause to dread) the uninfluenced tietion ot tins House upon tliese abuses. Hence the paroxysm of eagerness to se cure the appointment of the committee by the Speaker of the House, instead of the House itself ! " Sir, as I have too much respect for my character as a Representative to make, ir responsibly, an unwarrantable assault upon the presiding officer of this House, so I regard too highly my character as a man. to afflict for him a respect which I do not. en tertain. His friends, in their anxiety for hi8 services in this delicate proceeding, ihave chosen to brine his official character under review;' and thus, in some sense, ex tort from members, opinions respecting that functionary which, however profoundly en tertained, they might have anxiously for borne to express. For myself, however, I feel no embarrassment.; I am here in the capacity of a Representative of the people, with high duties to perform. N consider ations of respect for any public functionary, much less of uufelt respect can be allowed to interfere with the stem and full perform- L ance of those duties. Of the Speaker of the House, then, 1 form my opinion upon his official acts. I nidge of the future by the past; and, thus judging, I make free to pronounce that in his paM action he furnish- j es to the JSxecuiire the amplest guaranty that no exigency in the affairs of the Ad ministration cart possibly arise, to which his devotion will not be found completely adequate. He knows full well the qualities that recommend him for the distinguished post he now fills; and that, as party was to be served inflexible poliliwi f integrity was not a desideratum. And, sir, he has been true to those who elevated him, and true to the qualities for which he was elevated. . Look -at his acts, publicly recorded; Has he not striven to win the character and wear the laurels of an unscrupulous instrument of Executive icill, vlot having allowed oriye opportunity to pass unimproved ? Nor has he been unsuccessful. " But, sir, if the Speaker were above all exceptions!; if his public acts could be ef faced, and future independence inferred from past jsubserviency ; if sir, you could (as the gentleman from Maryland invariably" affectsto doV harness uo patriotism, like f 7 another Pegasus, and soar aloft high above the influence of power or parly, or mortal dross, and act (as the gentleman from Maryland invariably affectsto speak) as the spotless instrument of Heaven in works of tenderest mercy to man stilly; in an emer gency like this, I could not and would not, in view of the dignity and prerogatives of tue House of Kepresentatives, entrust to you this power, which Executive influence u? so urgently striving to secure to you. ',After what has transpired, in debate and otherwise, on this question of, "Who shall direct this investigation ?" it is my opinion that but one.course, honorable to the House, remains ; and that I have already indicated. - Allow me, sir, in conclusion, to say that there is not the smallest hope of effec tive investigation into these alarming abuses, if you trust any thing to the Speaker of this House; because it is now manifest that such an investigation must deeply affect the Ad ministration; and paramount allegiance is to head of that Administration, the Presi dent. It is vain to hope; to strike the Ad- miuistration through him. fabricate j your thunderbolts, hurl them as you may at the Administration, for these deep delinquencies, they fall harmless, if aimed through him. He is, sir, a non conductor between pub lic justice and this Administration. The House must aim over him, by exercising for itself its own just authority.1 Mr. CRAY'S LAND BILJL. It appears by a Report officially made to Congress from the office of the Commiss ioner of the General Land office, that if Mr. Clay's great Land Bill had been approved by President Jackson, when it passed both Houses of Congress in 1833, the sum which would have fallen to the share of North Carolina, up to the 30th .of 'Sept. 1838, be ing her proportion of the nett proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands, is $2,730, 973 nearlv three millions of dollars. Tin's is money to which North Carolina is fairly entitled, as one of the proprietors of jihnt great estate, the Public. Domain of the! U. States. Unfortunately, so great ha been the madness of party, that even the old States have been content to oppose the! as sertion of their rights in this matter, because the measure would redound, if adopted to he credit of Mr. Clay, and its rejection would leave, as it has left, these lands as a capital for insolvent politicians to trade upon. The old States are at last awaking to the consciousness of their true interests, and one after another are asserting their rights to a full participation in the benefits of this immense property. North Carolina led the way, and a few of the Administra tion party in the Legislature, to their last ing credit be it said, broke the shackles of party and united with the Whigs in assert ing" the interests of their State. Virginia is now following the example, except that the action of her Legislature is more unanimous on the subject. The great reason for fear now is, that we have waited too long; that' the new States have become too bold in their demands, and too strong in their pow er to second them. The Graduation Bill, it will be seen, was only laid upon the table by a majority of 5 votes; and possibly Ian other year may give them this powet- Another census undoubtedly will, unless some disposition is made of the subject in the mean time. Let all who have the interest of North Carolina at heirt, reflect upon the extent of good which she might be able to accom plish with these three millions, justly, her due. But there is a more enlarged view of the subject which has always been urged by the great Statesman, whose peculiar svstem n is. The passage of his bill to distribute the proceeds, among the States, would have settled a most embarrassing question, one which has caused some, and will yet cause more, heart-burnings between the old and ne,w States; and would have added to the existing obligations of all the States la preserve the Union ! Fcyetteville Observer. COMMUNICATION. FOR THE REGISTER. Sentiments or our Forefathers. No. 2. Last week I offered you some remarks on the manner in which the American Rev olution was conducted ; and on the result, at once so happy, and so different from that of any other recorded in history. The cause of this difference was ascribed to the reli gious character of the people, and of those who guided public sentiment, and managed the affairs of the people. Every opportu nity of looking into the history of the times, fand ascertaining the private feelings and ientiments of the actors in that great drama affords ad ditional evidence of the correct ness of our opinion. It is much to he desired that some one possessing sufficient learning, industry and piety, should write the history of the Uni ted States, beginning with the first settle ment of the country, and not merely detail ing historical facts, but tracing the operation of moral causes, and showing their influ ence in producing precisely that character and disposition which qualified our fore- JJathers to act their part so honourably to themselves, and so beneficially to the inte rests of their descendants; and, as we hope, will ultimately appear, of the whole world. A work of this sort is the more necessary, because errots prevail in reference to this subject, of very disastrous practical influ ence. We refer particularly to the senti ment, that times and circumstances give to men their form arid colouring; and that I great occasions not only call forth, but cre ate talents suited to them. Hence a people has not? ing to do but wait until occasion shall put forth its creative energies, and rfifen will at once spring up perfectly suited to the times in all their qua ifications and equipments, as Minerva is fabled to have issued a full-armed goddess from the brain of Jupiter. The effects of this sentiment are in the highest degree disastrous ; be cause it checks all efforts to promote intel lectual and moral improvement.; and en courages the debasing pursuit of present sensual gratification. The falsehood and folly of the opinion are proved hy ail histo ry. When has an age passed by in which there has not been a call for such men as adorn the annals of our revolution ? When have the groans of suffering humanity been silenced ? In what age of the world has the tyrant ceased to wield his iron sceptre; and the slave to clank his chains ? When have human beings not been bound in fet ters of dai kness, and made subservient to the humors and caprices, the follies and crimes of their fellow-men ? But should it be thought that these questions do not exnet ly touch the case in point, we ask, how-of-' ten has it happened that tyranny and op pression have goaded its subjects to a resist ance, more resembling the violent and de bilitating struggles of a man in the delirium of a fever, than the vigorous exertions of one sound both in mind and body, and di recting his efforts to some attainable and beneficial object ? Why have not these oc casions called forth such men as Washing ton, Haxcock, and Hknry; and why hav not these efforts resulted in the establish ment of such a government as ours ? Why have the convulsions of the civilized world, during the lust quarter of the last, and the may render iliem fit instruments, under the provi- j first of the present centuries, subsided in. the j dene of Almighty God, to secure for these United Calm Of despotism-? Why did the tremen-! s5fatl"s the greatest of all human blessings, inde dotis Struggles on the continent of Europe ! Pdcncc and peace; that it may please Him to rros-ln-ir., l,Vf i . .i i rT ', ! per the trade and manufactures of the people, and during that period, terminate - by the Holy ; tFhe labnur of tIie hugb!1IK,ma, that our land may Alliance, SO named, but formed, as the event J yet yield its increase; to take schools and sen.inari s has proved, and what was predicted by i of education, so necessary for cultivating the prin many, for every purpose of unhallowedam- eiples of true liberty, virtue and piety, under bis bition ? We giant that any event creatine I nurturing, hand, and to prosper the means of reli- 7orf.,l ;ntMM r j i R' for the promotion and enlargement of that will probably call into exercise great tal ents ; and afford a theatre for their illustri ous exhibition. Great virtues, too, if they exist, may, on such occasions, be displayed j to the immortal honor of their possessors, and the lasting advantage of the people. And this is all that can w itli safety be af firmed on this subject. In other words, revolutionary times, when the bands of an cient government are dissolved, and its arm weakened, serve to discover with great pre cision, the intellectual and moral character of those among whom such events take ! place. If they are vittuous and wise, the consequences will be such as to gladden the heart of every philanthropist, and to dif fuse the blessings of liberty, wholesome laws, and sound morals through the nation. But the character of a people is not sudden ly formed. It is not the work of a single generation ; but rather the effect of causes partly physical, but chiefly moral, operating, almost imperceptibly, yet certainty,. through the lapse of ages. Hence the value of well written history ; and hence the importance of investigating the causes, which combine their influences to form national character. A history of our country, in which a clear exposition should be made of all that had effect in preparing the people to go through the revolution ; and to frame and adopt such a fnrm nf (rnvornmpnt thnt nnilnr whirdi ye Have tile happiness to llVC, would be i lit one of the most instructive works that the wisdom of man ever produced for the im provement of the species. We would re commend this subject as a study, to such of our young countrymen as are not satis fied with the superficial acquirements of the day, nor with the poor diversions sought by the idle and unthinking to get rid of the burden of time. But we would forewarn them that they must look back into past ages ; and into the religious, as well as the political and civil history of various coun ties or they will assuredly fail of a due comprehension of the important subject. In the mean time, as a part of our research es, we furnish ytm with three original docu ments, which we are sure will be read with deep interest, and by some, with great plea sure, tending to bring your-'readers to a more intimate acquaintance with the pri vate sentiments, and feelings of the illustri ous men whose labours and counsels achiev ed our independence, and laid the foundai tion of our national glory. Two of these papers contain Resolves of the Old Con gress, bearing the signature of the venera ble Charles Thomson. Whenever we mention that body of men, we cannot but lament our inability to do them justice. Their lofty spirit, their unblenched digni ty, their unyielding fortitude, their he roic devotion to the interests of their coun try; their wisdom, their prudence, their elo quence, raised them to the highest pinnacle of real greatness; and ensured to them the admiration of the world. But the brightest wreath in their crown of glory is the sin cere and fervent piety, which they mingled with all the other elements of their great ness ; and, under the influence of which, they bore themselves with a. meekness and humility rarely witnessed in men entrusted with high power. The first of tliese papers is a recommcn dntion to the several States to observe a day of thanksgiving. The date will be seen be low. We purposely forbear to detail the events of the period, that your readers, es pecially your young readers, may look into the history tor themselves. The composi tion of the piece is admirable the tone of deep and humble piety which pervades it, is truly edifying and the wise regard paid to the best interests of the country is exem plary. We recommend every sentence to the diligent attention of the reader. Here it is In Congress, Nov. 1st, 1777. ' For as much ss it is the indispensable duty of all men to adore the superintending providence of Armigbty God ;' to acknowledge with gratitude their obligation to him tor benefits' received, and to im plore such further blessings as ihey stand in need of; And it having pleased Him, in his abundant mercy, not only to continue to us the innumerable bounties j of his common providence ; t ut also to smile upon us in the prosecution of a just and necessary war for the defence and establishment of our inalienable rights and liberties ; particularly, in that he hath been pi. ased, in so great a measure, to prosper the means used for the support of our troops, and to crown our arms with most signal success. It is therefore recommended to the Legislative - or Executive povers of these united stales, io set apart Thursday, the eighteenth dny of Decem ber next, for selemn thanksgiving and praise ; that, at one time, and wiih one voire, the good people' may express, the grateful feelings of their hearts,: and consecrate themselves to ihe service of their di vine Benefactor : a- d that, together with their sin cere acknowledgments and offerings they may join . the penitent confession of their manifold sins, where by tiny had forfeited every favour, and their hum ble and earnest supplication, that it niny please God, through the merits of Jesus Christ, mercifully to forgive and blot them out of remembrance ; that it mav ph'ase Him graciously to afford 'his blessing on ihe government of these States, respectively,! and prosper ihe public council t the whole; to j inspire our commanders, both by hind and sea, end ; all under them, with that wisdom and fortitude which L' r cr1 m ti-Iiwn ritnaiclp n t rr hf tnit &111fift . fifflTP andjuy in the Holy Ghost" And it is farther recommended, That servile la boar and sudi recreation as. though at ot er times j innocent, may be unbecoming, the purpose of this ( PP'nlment, may be omitted on so solemn an occa-! sion. Extract from the Minutes. Ciias. Thomson, Scc)e.!a)j.', j The second paper is exactly in the spirit; of Puritanism : and no doubt occasioned; inextinguishable laughter among the circles ; 1,1 11,0 purlieus ot ot. James s wiien it was. pubusneu on the other side oi tiie Atlantic Nor has the sentiment which it expresses ; met with much favour among our plain re publicans in the present day. And we have lately seen the opinions of some sturdy roy alists brought forward in opposition to doc trines similar to those taught in the Reso lution of Congress. As far as authority goe-, we are more prepared to deliver our selves to the direction of these couutrymen of ours, than to any that ever lived in the tide -of times. No men have possessed keener discernment than they ; and none have been urged by stronger necessity to look well to the efftcts of prevailing senti ments and indigencies. But I am keeping from the paper "i Congress, Ocl. nth, 1778. Whereas, true religion and pood morals, are the only solid fouudaiion of public liberty and happi- ttetoh-ed. That it be, and it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several w tales, to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof, ami f'r the suppressing of theatrical entertain tnents, horbC-racing. gaming, and su h other diversions as are productive of idleness, dissipation, and a general depravity of principles and manners. Extract frcm the Minutes. Chas. Tiiomsox, Secretary " The underscoring is mine. On reading this paper, who is not ready to exclaim " tempora mutantur !" ar.d would it not be well for those who do thus exclaim, to ponder the question, whether the quotation ought not to be continued in the words that follow ? That must be left to every reader. The third paper is a private letter from Washington to Uenrv. We furnish it for rn-publicatiop, for the purpose of showing the pre eminent patriotism of that first of men. Many have been prodigal of life, many have disregarded wealth, for the love of country; but how few have had the for titude to bear censure and endure reproach, for the sake of promoting the cause in which they were engaged. , The love of glory is man's strongest passion. Washington' un derwent reproach that he might serve the interests of his country. He weakened himself to strengthen a rival, for the good of the service. Let every reader examine this remarkable document, and see if these things are not so. "J Utile Marsh, 12 miles from Phila. November ISth, 1777. 5 Dear Sir, I shall hep: leave to refer vou to the letter whih accompanies this, of equal date, for a general account of our situation and wants. My design in this, is only to inform you with great truth I can do it, however strange it may seem) that the army which I have had under my command, has not, at any time since General Howe's trip up the Bay, and landing at Elk, been eqnal in point of numbers to his; and in as.-ert:'ig this, T do not confine myself to continental troops only, but com prehend niiliiia. The disaffected, and lukc-warm in this Slate, of which unhappily there is a larse proportion, taking advantage of the distraction in the form of govern ment, prevented those vigorous, exertions which were i have been expected of an invaded State; and the short term for which their militia was drawn forth expiring before others could be got in, and be fore the Maryland militia (which hy the bye were few in number and never joined till after the battle of Brandy wine) came up, our numbers kept nearly at a stand ; and I was left to fight two battles in or der, if possible toave Philadelphia, with les num bers than composed the army of my antagonist, whilst the world ha magnified our army at least double his. This idea, though mortifying in some point of view, I have been obliged to encourage, as next to being strong, it irf best to be thought go by the enr mv ; and to this rause principally, I am to attribute the slow movements of General Howe. How different the' case in the Northern depar -menl ! There the State of New York and New England, resolving to crush Burgoyne, continued , pouring in their troops till the surrender of tha ar- my. at which time not less than 14,000 militia were nciu3iiy in uenerai Uates cam'p; and composed, for the most part, of the best veomamv of ronn- try. Had the same spirit pervaded the people of mis, anu me acijaceni oiates. we might, before th's, have had General Hotte nea-ly in the situation of vicnerai mirgoyne; witn- lots uinerence, that the firmer would never have been out of the reach, of his chipping, while the ether increased his danger every step he took: havirier hut one retreat in ense of defeat, and thai blocked up by a respectable force. J jiy own iiitticulties in the course of the ram paigne l ave In-en not a little increased by the extra aid of Continental troops, which the gloomy prosi poet of our Northern affairs (immediately after the reduction of Tycqnderoga) induced me to spare from this army. But it is hoped all will yet end well ; if the cause therefoie is promoted, indiffer ent to me, is it, in what quarter it happens.
