right even to cut a Canal around the Muscle Shoals

Canal, why not any ? And besides, not satisfied with
survey ing small Roads and Canals; he here exhibits a
willingness to have a great National Road from Wash

At a meeting of the Citizens of Raleigh, on Wed'

ensuing Anniversary of our National Independence,
in an appropriate manner, the following gentlemen

THE STANDARD. The Quibble caught.
1 3 1
We asserted some weeks since that Judge Saus-
i Us -.voted on thel4th January 1S24, for the "Bill
io provide! the necessary estimates, plans, and surveys
pn the subject of Roads and Canals" at which, th
Standard has taken fire, and threatens us with the
F'eaufrW! of the Public. For what, we ask 1. Why,
for eiposijnig the political inconsistency of Romulus
M. SATSDF.RS ! Now, what are the grounds for the
Standard's insinuation thai,we liave suppressed the
truth T We asserti?d, that on" the 14th of January
1824, Jucilge S. voted for this Bill : Lid Tie or did he
not ? "That he voted for the-Bill on the 14th Jamia-
ry is true says the Standard. Herejthen is a con
fession, that the Van Buren Candidate nip vote for
tliis Bill on that day ! What more did we say ? It
is known that Judge; Saunders has denied and sow
denies the constitutional right of Congress to carry
on works of Internal Improvement. Does his vote
on that occasion look much like it 1 He was either
in favor of the bill, or violated, his oath, if he thought
thxj as he thinks now, that Congress has no con
stitutional power to appropriate money for works of
Internal Improvement, Thj latter alternative we can
not believe him driven to : We submit this case to
every plain man in the country. Suppose a member
of Congress wer to vote for a Bill on its second rea
ding to deprive a sState of its Republican form of Gov
ernment, knowing that bill to be unconstitutional,
oirid he not be guilty of perjury 1 Would a diffe
rent vote on the third reading sanctify the one on the
seccui? -EveryjEian will respond pe. Will Judge
- Saunders admit he voted for an unconstitutional bill
AFRAID OF THE LIGHT.
Mr. Stanly, of this State, sent to the "Globe" for
publication Dr. Duncan's celebrated Abolition Letter,
offering to pay for it as an advertisement, if the Edi
tors would insert it." They declined, however, pn the
ground that the Letter had been already published in
their paper. Mr. Stanly wrote another note, asking
to, be informed about what time it had appeared. The
"Globe" men replied "between tbe 1st of January and
the 8th of May, 1839." Mr. Stanly then employed
the Congressional Librarian to make strict examination
of the files of the " Globe" for the article in question,
and the result of his search is thus stated :
House Library, Washington May 30, 1840.
To the Hon. Edward Stanly, Ho. Reps.
Sib : At your request I have examined a file of the
Globe,, from the 1st of January to the 31st of May,
1839, to find a letter said to be published therein from
the Hon. Alexander Duncan upon the subject of sla

THE OLD SOLDIER AGAIN
While Col. Foster was speaking in Knoxville, the
other day, another of those incidents occurjred which
speaks volumes in favor of Old Tippecanoe. Col.
Foster remarked, that Gen. Harrison has been called
a "coward!" "I have seldom" said Col. Foster spo
ken to so large an audience as this, but there were
some old soldiers present who' could bear testimony
on this point. Are; there any present 1 "I was with
Gen. Harrison," exclaimed a veteran present whose
name is David Griffin. Was Gen. ' Harrison a cow
ard, asked Col. Foster ! No ! was the old man's in
dignant response "he was no coward a braver man
never lived !" j
at its second reading, and endeavor to justify- it by
saying he .voted gain$t it6n the' third 1 He has too
' Jmuch sense and "regard for the sacred obligation of an
01th. -Then as he voted for the bill on the third rea-i
dbg, we are justified iri concluding that he did not
believe H unconstitutional. But asks the Standard,
"what followed!';' We will tell him what followed :
On the Oth February, the bill was on- its" 3rd read
in.grand Judge Saunders moved and voted to recom
mit it with instructions, v What were these instruc
tions ? that they. " designate what roads and canals
of National importance in aoxMEiiciAL or military
point oHview, oi as are necessarv Jor the transporta
tion of the public mails, as may be deemed proper and
expedient to hate surveyed and reported upon." (J.
of H. R. 1823-4-page 221.) These instructions are
efficiently broad for all the purposes contended for
by the most ultra-Federalists.
I If' Congress has the right to survey; routesbecause
taey are of commercial importance "(-the nation, it
certainly can construct them. But where will Con
gress stop, if the-right is placed on the ground of Com'
nercial otMilitary importance or as , necessary for
trying the Mails ? The most extravagant appro
priations can be justified on these grounds. Is not
the Cumberland Road of commercial importance, and
in case of War, would it not be of military impor
tance , Yet the Judge, say his friends, thinks the ap
prspriations for this road unconstitutional ! It is far-
deal. ; Give Cangress this latitude, and it can build
ny road. It i natural for men to believe those things
necessary, which would promote their interest, and
W easily you could think my road of importance, if
depended on what might think of yours. Corrup-
oh and bargaining would be the order of the day.
. .'ruc Judge Saunders did vote: to postpone indefi
nitely pie bull when his instructions were rejected,
but why was this 1 Did he become frightened, or did
he take his cue from Randolph, who made the motion. 1
n the third reading of the bill; the Yeas and Nays
were not taken, (See J. II. R. page 228,) and Who
can say that Judge Satjtdkhs did W vote for it
then?. He voted for it once and against it once,
'"kich would make the presumption as strong against
him as or him. But this is not the only piece of ev
i idenc we have to show j his inconsistency on this
; question. On the page 318th of the Journal of the

FEDERAL OUTRAGE !
Some persons, on Monday night last, j destroyed a
fine largelent, standing in the.Court-House yard, de
signed as a covering for the Terre-Hautei Band at th
Tippecanoe celebration. The tent was pitched for
the night, with two others, and in the morning, it was
found burned to ashes, having been fired, by means
suitable for the purpose. The unrighteous deed was
perpetrated about midnight, an hour well suited to the
work of an incendiary. The American Flag, waving
at the head of the staff on the Prairie, was also stolen,
carried away or destroy ed probably by the same gang
of political fanatics. The friends of Harrison were
necessarily excited et the outrage, but as yet, no cer
tain clue has been obtained as to the individuals guil
ty of the outrage. The Harrison, boys can stand a
few hard-knocks trom their opponents, in a political
way, but when they find their tents assailed, aud the
honored Flag of the Union, with its stars and stripes,
desecrated, it would not be good for those who commit
ted the outrage to be too daring Gen. Harrison, and
his brave soldiers, slept many ' a cold night on th
Ground, in the Wabash campaigns, without a tent to
protect them from the winds and blasts, and his arid
their friends can get along one night without the eht
thus destroved; but a meaner, or more contemptible
act of outrage was never committed than the one fo
Which we now refer. The glorious Flag of the coun
try wasjfever furled by Old Tippecanoe in dishonor;
and it was reserved for Loco-focoism. thus to tear it
down, and refuse the breezes of Heaven to fan its no
ble and inspiring folds. The desperation of the loco
focos is so evident as to leave but little doubt about
trie result of the Presidential contest.
"CONGRESS.
, EDITOR 8 CORRESPONDENCE."
Washisotox, June 12.
In the House, Mr. Botts, of Va. submitted a Pre
amble and Resolution in reference to the case xf Ma
son Hooe? of the United States Navy, tried some time
ago, by a Court Martial, at Pensacola; and especially,
m relation to the fact, that two negroes were admitted
to testify against the proceedings of thejCourt Mar
tial in this respect and had applied to the President
himself, who yet had approved of the whole proceed
ings of the Court Martial. Mr. Bott's resolution
called on the President to communicate all the papers
relating to the subject Mr. Thomas , of Md. object
ed and the Federal Loco Focos professing to be the
only true guardians to the South refused to suspend
the rules in order to allow the resolution even to be
considered.
The House then resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole, and .took up the Sub-Treasury bill, when
Mr. Barnard of Albany, one of the most able lawyers
iri the House, delivered his views against the meas
ure. In the Senate, the bill from the House of Represen
tatives, for the purpose of computing the mileage of
members by some, uniform system, was read a first
and second time for the purpose of reference; when
Mr. Norvell moved its reference to a select committee
On this subject a debate arose, which showed pretty
'clearly th a V however much the President and his
standing army of office-holders may desire the1 people
to practice economy and hard labor, they are deter-
mirjed not to lose any thing out of the public crib
which they can lay hold of. The object of this till is to
fix some regular system, and a straight Jline was adop
ted ; but Mr. : Grundy and Mr. Sevier both spoke a
gainst the bill. Mr Sevier said the author of the bill
never intended it to pass; and that if it was sent back
to the House with an amendment, it would not meet
with thirteen supporters. Mr. Grundy said the mat
ter was very well as it was, and though he would not
vote to increase the pay, as this left us a pretty 6ure
lesson, he certainly would not vote to reduce their
present pay or mileage. He found it little enough,
for him. ,
Mr. Clay, of Kentucky,- thought the object of the
House, m passing the bill, a praiseworthy one, arid
that it ought to go to a committee for investigation.
It was certainly a desirable matter that some equal
and uniform system should be adopted. As it now
stood, members even from the same neighborhood,
charged their mileage by very differejjt routes.
The "bill was referred to a select committee of five,
too apptinjgd by the Vice President
Mr. Crittenden, Trom the Comrnjpee to which the
Bankrupt subject was referred, rorted a new bill, "em
bracing such points as had been discussed by the Senate,
and likely to be adopted. His bill was ordered to be
pririted1 and-was"Jade the special order for Tuesday
next. -
The printing of 20j000 copies ef the white washing
report, from the Committee on the militia came tip,
when Mr. Crittenden took hold of this subject with
his usual power, defending Gen. Harrison from the
wanton aspersions endeavored to be thrown u pon him
by this Committee. He asked if'his age, his long ser
vice in council and in camp, should not protect iim
from abuse 1 Was it because this old war-worn sol
dier has been brought forwanl-by the people, that the
friends of the Administration had sought to blacken
and defame him 1 He would tell gentlemen in pro
portion as they maltreated him in thU body, his ser
vices, and the glory that surrounded his moral charac
ter would find favor in the minds of the American peo
ple. Mr. Crittenden was followed by Mr.Cuthbert,
who justified the eport of the Secretary of War.
Mr. Clay, of Ala., followed in defence of his report
and against General Harrison, denouncing him as a
black cockade federalist ; in short he endeavored to
turn the public attention- from Mr. Poinsett to every
matter save that immediately before the body.
The Alabama Senator responded to the queries of
Mr. Preston by saying that he did not approve of Mr.,
Van Buren's conduct upon any of the subjects named.
Mr. Preston asked if upon all the subjects named
h was opposed to the President with! what propriety
he could support him 1
Mr. Clay of Alabama intimated, that Mr. Van Bu
ren. was now sound upon all these subjects.
a How know you that"was the next query, and
if you believe it, how can you arraign General Harri
son for votes given 20, 25 and 40 years gone by 1"
There was no answer to this.
Pn the question that the Report or Plan of the Sec
retary of War be printed, along with the Report of the
Militia Committee,; the yeas and nays were ordered,
and the motion was lost by a vote of a strictly party
character.
TO WM. H. HAYWOOD, JR. ESQ.
Sir : You ; have the reputation of being a Very
shrewd man ; I know not whether you are justly en
titled to such a character, nor is it now proper to en
quire. That part of your 6peech which arraigns the
Whig Party of this State, on the charge of Proscrip
tion a subject which seems to have been selected, to
enable you to spit forth some of that spleen, that "little
malice," which has been rankling in your breast, shall
be passed over for the present. Yexr and your Party
prsaeng against Proscription ! This u really a
beautiful commentary on the consistency of that po
litical clique which has proscribed more men for opin
ions sake than all the Administrations, since the foun
dation of the Government. We shall give the Pub-
he some bright examples of this, at a future time; for
the present, -we call your attention to a matter of more
importance, the position occupied by your Party, on
the right of Instruction. In 1834, Mr. Mangum was
instructed to violate his oath by expunging tbe Jour
nal of the Senate, which he had sworn to keep
these instructions Mr. M. refused to obey, and every
Administration Press and every Demagogue in its
ranks; denounced him as a violator of the sacred right
of Instruction. No vituperation was too strong no
indignation too heavy for him . who, according to the
representations of your Party, had scouted the public
will. Then you exhibited great devotion to the wish
es of the People all that the Representative should
require, was a clear expression of the public wish.
You remember very well too, the speech of the Hon,
Bedford Browjj, at Caswell Court House, in which
he announced that the Representative should seek to
know nothing more than the tvishof his constituents:
an3 thai "the servant who knew his master's will and
neglected it, was equally blameable with him w"ho
had been ordered to do and refused." This, he said,
wasthe true doctrine this, the only candid and safe
rule. How stands, the Senator nowl 1H0W -stands
your whole Party; thusjcwnmitted and pledged in be
half of this right of the People to have their wishes
respected and oSeved 1 I desire no quibbling. The
People, Sir, are iri' the habit of calling thing3 by their
right names, and they will not be quibbled out of their
privileges. Js your position tenable ? At the last
Sessjn of the Legislature, Resolutions were passed
by a majority of about 8 in the Commons and 2 in
the-Senate, condemning " the Sub-Treasury, and
several other, measures .'of this Administration. The
8th Resolution declared "that our Senators in Con
grtSsWfll repreaertt the wishes "of a majority of the
People of this State, by voting to carry out the
foregoing resolutions." Here then, is a plain, direct
declaration of the wishes pi pur ! Senators' constitu
ents, of that, which they desired to be done, for the
"protection of their own liberty and the promotion of
the prosperity of the country. " Our Senators in
Congress will represent the wishes of a majority of
the People, by voting." Could any thing be plainer?
I put it to you 1 put it to every man in the Van Bu
ren ranks, is this not a clear expresion of ihe will of
the People 1 But mark the conduct of our Senators 1
Did, they obey 1 did they even respect these wishes 1
Fob the Registeh. ;
To William Montgomery and
Micajah Thomas Hawkins:
Since you have abandoned your pantomimes, and
blazoned forth your illustrious names the one, known
only to be despised--the other pitied for his ignorance
and both only celebrated for a blind adherence, and an
indiscriminate support of your Lord and King, Martin
Van Buren since, Isayi, you have come forth, and
brought to light the obscure names of William White;
of the 8th, and Gideon Macon Green, of the 6th Con.
gressional District, I meant that you shall be presented
to the world in the proper; light by which such Dema
gogues should be viewed. Now mark; me, ye busy in-
terferers,; the day of retribution is not distant, and your
imposing and disgracefully tortured publication shall
be the cause of your political condemnation. Do you
not know that this is done to subserve-party purposes I
That it so will be viewed, pan you doubt 1 Or, are
you so misguided j and infatuated by your infuriate

In the House, to-day, Mr. Galbraith, of Pcnn. fol
lowed Mr. Barnard, and spoke at great length in de
fence of the Sub Treasury Bill. He ws succeeded
by Mr. Shepard, of your State, who .spoke on the
same side, and made a pretty good Speech for so ba5
a cause. Mr. Edwards, of ,Penn. made a very brief
Speech in opposition to the bill, and was followed by
Mr. Burke, who read a long argument in favor of the
bilL The House adjourned at 7 o'clock P. M.
In tbe Senate, the debate was resumed on the mo
tion to print 20,000 extra copies of the Report of the
Military Committee on the subject of the Standing
Army.
Mr. Clay, of Ala. spoke at great length in continu
ation and conclusion of his speech in explanation of
the Report of the Secretary of War, and concluded
with an examination of Gen. Harrison's public life.
Mr. Preston replied briefly. He congratulated the
Senate that his antagonist bad arrived at the conclu
sion that Mr.Poinseit'6 report was unconstitutional. He
and the Senator were of the same opinion on this mat
ter, though the conclusion was arrived at by different
-means'. Mr. p, spoke also of the disposition manifes
ted by the Senator from Alabama, of bringing in Gen.
Harrison upon alV occasions. The highest aspirations
of my heart, said Mr. Preston, are connected with the
change of men and of measures. I have my prefer
ences, and they are decided and made known upon all
proper occasions. No emergency, said Mr. Preston,
shall draw me into a discussion of Presidential matters
here. Elsewhere I am ready to do so, but this is not
thejpfoper place to make Presidents. We are here
for legislative purposes and not for party electioneer
ing-
Mr. Preston followed with some caustic questions
to Mr. Clay, of Ala. Mr. C. was not present when
the putting of questions commenced. Mr. Preston
looked around him in vain, and said at length " it is
no matterCShe Senator's vacant seat will answer, I'll
venture to say, as well as the Senator himself, were he
here." .
Mr. P, then commenced his pungent questions as
an offset to some that had been .put to him.
Mr. Clay at length, made his appearance, and the
Senator again Jput the questions,
f First, ift regardlo Mr. Van Buren's orthodoxy up
on tiiesubjecl of Internal Improvements.
Secondly, in regard to toll gates on the Cumber
land Road, and who voted for them. ,
"Again, in regard to tile Missouri question.
Again, in regard to Mr.,"Van Buren's vote of in
structions to Rufus King
His opposition to James Madison, by bringing for
ward De Witt .Clinton.
His approyaltJf Mr. Poinsett's leport,and the clause
of it which said tkSt every man fined should be im
prisoned one month for every five dollar fine.
No I They returned an impertinent answer, asking
what their constituents meant 1 'Does any man be
lievedo you sir, believe, that they were sincere in
their declaratiou that they did not know thej meaning
of the Legislature 1 Impossible ! Have we j so degra
ded ourselves as to send to the Senate, men,: who can
not interpret their own language who cannot com
rireherid the simplest expression 1 It would seem so
1
But then there appears, to be some great charm in
.the word " instruct" and our Senators are disposed
now to contend that this word is necessary to elicit
resprct or enforce obedience. But. see to what this
doctrine would lead. If you allow the servant to de
signate what language his master must use before he
regards his wishes, and the refusal to adopt such to
'constitute a complete justification, how can obedience
I lie enforced 1 A command being given or wish ex
pressed one exclaims, " I will not regard it; he must
use other words." Another demands language still
different, and the master is reduced to the necessity of
thus submitting to the whims and caprices of those he
thought subject to his will. Now apply this. Messrs,
Brio wit and Straitoe require the, word iitsthuct
before they will obey, ihough they can see clearly
what is the wish of their constituents, but will this
precedent he necessarily respected by their successors?
They may require the word " command," or " order"
or '"&," or one Senator may demand a different
phraseology from his colleague. One may wish his
instructions in Dutch, the other in French. How then:
Must the Legislature truckle to all V Should it sur
render its dignity, and shape- its words to suit these
political servants 1 Should not its will, however
expressed, be enough to command adherence 1 ,Will
any say that the Senator should so degrade himself as
to require to be ordered or kicked into obedience ?
Would you be willing thus to set at naught the pub
lic will, by the most miserable subterfuge 1 If so,
then indeed are you a marked example of consistency!
But why should the word instruct be necessary to
obtain obedience 1 Has it any peculiarity of meaning
which is sanctified by the Constitution 1 By the best
Lexicographers, its primary nd proper meaning is
" to teach," " to form by prece To teach what ?
Why, the will, wish or opinions jf the constituent !
This is the lever which should direct the Representa
tive. So soon as he begW to claim the right to re
quire set phrases as iri a criminal indictment, that mo
ment, he ceases to be the Servant of the Peoples, and
becomes their MasterJ The 18th section of our Bill
of Rights says, " The People have the right to apply
to the Legislature for redress of grievances." Apply
how ,? What grievances ? If you leave it to the
Representative alone to answer these questions and
shape his conduct accordingly, -to dictate the manner
in which application must be made to merit a hearing,
and to designate what grievances they will condescend
tr redress, of what value, we ask, is the right guaran
teed by this section 1 If application be made by writ-
ten petition, the impudent Representative"' may reply
" You must send a deputation? A deputation being
sent, " You must petition" he exclaims, j Petition
being sent, " Oh you hav'rit the word apply in it-"
Thus, having instructed, " You must command." Be
ing commanded, " Oh ! direct is the proper word."
And thus the shuffling; Representative.. shields himself
behind the right, to dictate to the constituent what lan
guage shall be used ia applying for redress, or con
veying instructions ! What a solemn farce ! Such
a quibbler would deserve to be kicked from his high
estate; even the Tarpeian Rock would be too good for
him. . '
But sir, there is proof in your Speech. tha you con
sidered the " Rayner Resolutions" virtually instruc
tions. You ask, " Will any candid man among them
(Whigs) tell us what the Rayner Resolutions deserve
to be called, if the Instructions to Mr. Mangum were
any persecution and proscription of the man?" If
the Rayner Resolutions were not instructions, how
could they be considered aspersecuting andproscrip
tive ? Some of your party say they meant nothing.
What ! persecution and proscription to pass resolu
tions which affect no one ! ' You say again, "The
Rayner Resolutions were intended to force Browx
and Stuasgi into direct treachery against their own
opinions." Then you have at last, discovered the in
tention of the Resolutions ! Wiser indeed than our
Senators, whg modest, simple-hearted creatures, could
not for their lives, comprehend the intent of the Leg
islature ! But how "force them into treachery against
their opinions," unless they were intended to have
the Senators obe y or resign? I call on the Peo
ple TO MARK THE ADMISSION.
But Sir, you are well aware of the fact, that many
of your Party disapprove the course pursued by our
Senators on the " Rayner Resoluions" All candid
men were compelled to pronounce their letter a mis
erable quibble a contemptible evasion. Elected to
the Senate under oft repeated asseverations of devotion
to the Public Will, we see them ready to sieze upon
the most puerile reasons to justify ' their setting at
naught that will. Told by their constituents that the
Sub-f reasury was "calculated to place in peril the lib
erties of the country," and that by voting against it
they would carry out the wishes of a majority of the
people of the State, they nevertheless persist in fixing
it on the country ! It is coktempt or the popu
lar voice a blow at the People's Rights !
L 3iBut, Sir, I prove from your own writings that the
Rayner Resolutions" were Instructions. Have you
forgotten your famous protest of 1834-5 f On the
5 th ofJanuary, 1835, the Resolutions of Mr. Hender
son, affirming the true Whig doctrine relative to the
Public Lands, were passed, by a vote of 82 to 32 ; yotj
voting against them ! (Page 2,45th, Journal of the
House 6fRepresentatives,:I834-5.) On the 10th of
the same month, you and 15 other Van-Burenites
all the party could not go it entered a protest on the
Journals, from which I extract the following, viz :
Finally we protest against those Resolutions being
" considered as Instructions to our Senators, which, in
"our judgment, they would be, if disconnected from
" the circumstonces under which thy passed the
"House. Because it was distinctly avowed in debate
" by some of those who advocatad the passage of the
" Resolutions,- that they were not " instructions to our
" Senators ;" and this was acquiesced in by the silence
" of nearly all, if-not every other member of the ma-
"jority Because a large portion of the. members of
" the House of Commons, who had during this Ses
"sion denied the right of the General Assembly to in
' struct the Senators, yet voted in favor of these Reso-
lutions. Because these Resolutions were introduced
" and the vote finally taken at a late period of the Ses-
" sion, after many members had obtained leave of ab
" sence, and many others were not present to vote."
It appears then that the Land Resolutions would
have been instructions, but for these reasons, viz :
1. Because it was avowed in debate, they were not.
2. Because a large portion who voted for them had,
during that Session, denied the right of the Legisla
ture to instruct. 3. Because they were introduced
and passed at a late period of the Session, when many
members were absent. In the debate on Rayner's Re
solutions, no one avowed they were not instructions
nor had a large portion of those who voted for them
ever denied the right. They were also introduced and
passed early in the Session, witii a full attendance.
Deducting those who previously denied the right of
the Legislature to instruct, the Resolutions passed the
House by a majority of 3! So, sir, from your own
admissions, they were Ixstkuctiojts. One thing
is certain, you did not then think the word " instruct"
necessary. How, then, do you reconcile this with
your course on the Rayne Resolutions ? You talk
about the inconsistency of other men ! You, who have
only been consistent in inconsistency, to set yourself
up as a lecturer on political morals ! Sir, you shall be
exposed. You have worn a mask too long you have
dwelt in mystery until you have concluded that the peo
ple are all gulls, and that nothing but the use of your
wand is necessary to induce them to sell even their
" birth-right for a mess of pottage." But, sir, like your
master at the White House, yourmagic; influence is
fast passing from you. Begin at once the soliloquy pf
