Committee on Foreign Relations ? Wha
,could tempt, what could induce, the Vice
President 10 make such an appointment
WHY these very peculiarities OF Mr.. Ma
con and the knowledge that he had M
friendly feelings for the Secretary Of State
that he had an old grudge against hia, fol
having put him ont of the chair Of tho
Tiouse of Representatives, and that he had
recently given new pledge, that his hos
tlity was IN full yigor, by having voted a.
gainst the confirmation OF Mr.. Clay as Sc
cretary Of State.
These reasons may satisfy Mr.. Cal
houn, but will they satisfy the people We
suspect they will be found to smack too
strongly OF faction and desire to embroil
the country and embarrass the admlnlstra-
ton, in hope Of promoting Private, Person
al and Ambitious views.
The next gentleman named on the Com
mittee, Mr.. Tazewell, had the same recon-
mendation as Mr.. Macon, he had voted n
gainst the confirmation of the nomination
of Mr.. Clay, as Secretary Of State, and thus
given pledge that he had not confidence
IN his talents or integrity, for the station.
How can such committee menh hope for that
is called for, between the Secretary, and
the members Of the Committee on Foreign
Relations2 ? The last named on the com
rnittee is Mr. White, the successor ofGen.
Jackson, as Senator from the State often
nessee: a gentleman who brings with him
all the dispositions and desires, necessary
to embarrass and overthrow the administra-
ton, and make way for another, III which
he could hold a high station and act con-
spicuous part. Such considerations alone
seem to have recommended, or indeed sug-
gested Senator from the state Of Iennes-
see as member Of the Committee on For
eign Relations
The first acts of tho Vice President mark
him out, as he deserves to be marked, as a
bold and fearless leader, and he cLerishes
the hope that his daring will induce tho
friends of Jackson and Of Clinton, and Of
other aspirants, to rally round hin, even
At the expense oftheir particular personal.
favorites. Our object in placing these
facts before the People, is to keep them
well advised of the motives and conduct of
their Public Servants.

THE VICE-PRESIDENT- another
page of our paper viii be found some free and
severe structures Of the Democratic Press,
on Mr.. CALuous's conduct, in the recent ap-
pointment of the standing committees Of tho
Senate, and particularly Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations. The selection of the last
mentioned committee, to say the least of il,
presents through these remarks most extra
ordinary aspect. We are not prepared to say
how far this censure is merted by Mr.. c. as to
the other committees Of his appointment,
though it must be obvious, we think, on tho
slightest inspection of the names composing
them, that his personal and political friends
have been literally provided for. All that We
intend to suggest at present is, that if tho
Vice-President really contemplate an oppoi-
ton to the Administration, and is indulgnae.
the vain expectation of drawing over to his in
tercst the malcontcnt partisans of jackson and
Crawford, by favoring their projects and
schemes Of dissention, the sooner that fact 10
ascertained by the public, the better for the
real well-wishers Of Mr.. ADAMS Neither he,
nor Mr. CLAr, have the slightest reason to
| shrink from an open and honorable opposition
to their measures, by which their principles
ana policy can be freely discussed and fairly
resisted. II is only from the disguised and
underhanded policy (if such has been attempts
ed) Of making the committees Of the Senate.
so many secret clubs fora masked oppositiox,-
that any real difficulty or embarrassment is to
be apprehended We beg leave to be UNDER
stood as making ther suggestions altogether
hypothetiealiyand on tho supposition Of course,
that the motives imputed to Mr.. c. have
sufficient foundation in fact Ifthe editor of
the Press has materially misrepresented the
vice-President, or exaggerated or colored his
statement, We shall cheerfaily correct any
errors we have committed and into which our
attachment to the Administration, and the
honest convictions Of our Understandings have
unwittingly led us.

rroL was discovered 10 be on Ere. We G5
not know as yet the extent OF damage the
building sustained, but understand that
considerable portion OF the CONGRESS LII
BRARr is destroyed. The fire was subdu-
ed as quickly after The alarm was given as
our citizens could reach the building"
Since the above was set up for the press, we
have received the Washington Journal fsat-
urday, by which we arc happy to learn, that
the damage done by the fire to the Capitol ans
Library was much less serious than we a, firrt
apprehended.
N In our Daily paper ofyesterday, we yaye
brief notice Of the fire which broke ont.
IN the Congress Library, in the Capitol.
The following particulars we are enabled
TO give, from a personal observation Of the
nature and extent Of the injury sustained
by this accident. The fire appears to have
commenced In the western gallery, d.
rcctly south Of the window which commu-
nlcates with the balcony, and il is supposed
to have originated from u candlewhich was.
left,near one ofthe shelves, by gentleman
who was reading in that part of the Library
at late hour. The fire ascended to the
ceiling, part of the plaster Of which is de-
stroyed as are the shelves in the gallery.
A part also of the futed casing beneath
the gallery is destroyed. The destruction
of books is very limited being entirely
confined TO duplicate copies of documents
and state papers, which were depositedin
in that gallery, by way of filling IN the
shelves. None OF the valuable works. an
far as we could ascertain. have been AZ all
injured; nor will any interruption be caused
by this accident to the habits ofthose mem-
bers who are fond of literary recreations.
Several members of Congress rendered
very active assistance in the suppression o.
the fire.
