to us to be iudiciously adapted to the object
which the mover has in view--Damely, 10 as
certain the extent 10 which Congress mean to
exercise the contested power, and to bring all
that may be claimed, into immediate operation.
The Editors of the New-York Gazette, with
praseworthy candor, admits that we have
convicted the photograph" Of palpable false
hood They say at is due from US to the eCi-
tor of the Alexandria Gazette 10 say, that the
statements he made some time since that the
President Of the Senate had twice refused 10 al
low Mr.. Dickerson to speak on question be-
fore that body, and permitted Mr.. Randolph 20
harransue them on the same question, for hal
an hour, was correct-the assertion Ct the
Washington Telegraph 20 the contrary not
wiihstanding."
A writer in the Democratic Press charges
MIR. Walsh with having originated the report
Of BURR's intention Of eating MIR. Randolph to
the field. The annexed extract from the New
York Gazette of Monday, will show that the
Editor of the Nationa! Gazette has been aspersed:
TWAS rumoured in Philadelphia on Friday
last, that Aaron Bur. had gone to Washington
TO call Mr.. Randolph 10 account for having
spoken disrespectfuly Of him before the Senate.
A similar rumor prevailed in this CITY few
DAYS since, but we believe there is no founda-
lion for it.
The National Advocate frankly admits that
the information published in its columns,
touching the case of young TAYIoE Of Virgin
Ia, is not correct. 1t is due 10 the editors to
give their apology in their own words:
In Justice to other daily papers OF the city.
we inform those whose feelings we have unwlt-
tingly injured, that the report which was oircu-
lated some few days since, stating that the jury
in the case of young Tayloe had recommended
pardon on condition of has leaving The state, orisi-
mated in this paper, and was communicated to
the editor by gentleman who came passenger
in the steamboat from Hudson,a week yesterday
Ii appears this statement was erroneous IN this
and one other particular, viz; 'dirking, ;--he
was acquitted ofmoral guilt, and has received
his pardon unaccompanied by any condition.
We stand corrected.
Wewish we could, consistently with truth
contradict the subloined article. from the East
on (Maryland) Gazette.
CONGRESS.
What has been done in Congress this year!
In the Senate they spent nearly three months
inorganising regular opposition to the admin
istration. which had been predetermined from
the election of the President-and in the House
they have been cooking up an alteration OF
the Constitution, that all knew would come
10 nothing, for the sake Of giving certain lndl.
viduals in that House an opportunity 10 abuse
the President and Secretary Of State, and there
by TO try to arrange an opposition there. a
more improbable session of Congress, up TO
this time, never existed--in truth, 1t would
srem that those who were determined to oppose
the administration, right or wrong, have made
use OF this whole session 10 mature their
schemes.
