The motion IN posipnnr indefinitely III.
further consideration Of Gov. BraLtl's r.
solution, being under consideration, Mr..
Randolph .pok. yesterday for about five
hoars. lie assumed Two PREMISE and IL
lnstrated them with his usual ability: the
fr-t WAS, "tbat ihr Executive is DOT a co
ordinate department" This he illustrated
/ by All exposition Of the constitutional pow
ef5 of the Senate aud of the House Ut Re.
( pre-,ntati,ss, hieh embrace the right of
the House In lmprach, aud Of the senate
{" pass upon an impeachment, OF me Pre-
ident The other position Was, that TIRE
qn.Ot recurrence To- fundamental principles
Vas essential IN liberty. Upon this branch
nfbis argument. Mr.. Il. demonstrated that
4 If the prec.dents Iellrd on to ust fy the
assumption of power claimed by the Presi-
dent. had been cases in point, it WAS me-
yrltheIess the duty Of the Senntc 10 disre-
gard pr, cedeni, aud return to Iundament
al principles but Nh. X. denied that The
pfrcedenis would su-taln the use intended
10 be made Of them. This he said had
been CLEARLY demonstrated by the unan-
severed AID unanswerabIe argument of his
colleague
D6lmg the morning letter from Gov.
Morrow In Gen. Harrison, which had been
attached In the petition of IA Mr.. Ross, OF
Ohio, had been read at the Secretary's
table in whith that gentleman expressed
his confidence in the minority in the Sen
ate, as also his opinion, that the President
should have sent agents to Panama, unac-
credited with powers TO commit the neu-
tralIty OF tins government. Mr.. Randolph
took the occasion which that letter Offered,
10 pass hleh rncomlurn upon the good
sense and sterling Integrity Of Governor
Morrow, and to urge the opinion, which
he had thus given, az strong argument
against the policy Of the mission.
Mr.. Randolph then spoke of the parties
in the country. He said all the old Sed-
ton Law FederaIisls are to man united
in favor of this administration. He called
on the friends Of the administration to
point out one who was not but, said Mr..
! II. of all species of Federalism, | dislike
that most, which has gone through the
crucible of Rrpnblicass,n--that Federal
ism nhich IS more than Federalism.
He declared that Mr.. Adams was a
Observation-Disclosures and son that the
father had attempted to write as into
MOI archy, and that TN" son had attempted
| To proclaim. US Into monarchy. He DE-
clarrd his message to the House to be il
high mlsdemeanor, an attempt 10 convert
the House of Representatives into IA hus
tlngs, and, by an rl"ctloneerlng appeal Ia
the people, To answer the arguments which
| he (Mr. A J had conined within the wall
Of the Senate.
Mr.. Randolph again alluded to the letter
which he had read to the SENATE, III which
Mr.. Adam''s arostary was explained, and
Blld that he had received another letter
what he had d0up. Ur theu introduced
and read irt,rr from Chief Justice Mar
shall, ard passed high rncumlum on the
able speech made by that gentleman in de-
fence OF the elder Adams. He, said Mr..
IL. although the great high priest of the
Federal patty, HaS nota Seditlnn Law Fe
deralis and he, although the able deten-
der ofthe father, disapprovcs 1T the policy
of the son. Mr.. II. read part Of the letter,
in which The Chief Justice spoke in high
trtms of the speeches of Mrssrs. Benton,
Vanbrurtn, and " ondhury particularly OF
the first, and expressed his opinion of The
policy of the mission itself in such terms
as 10 leave no doubt of his dlsapproba,on.
Mr.. X. then said, that, from the days of
john the Baptist ill now, there never had
been a more corrupt court than this: that
! they openly acted upon the principle OF
! bargain, that every nan had price. Tie
said that Senators had been bought up :
that the press had been purchased. He
said that he would tell the people that this
administration have the National Journal
that they know, aud more, that they
have the National lnteIlisenCcr. which the
people do not know. That paper, 1.-THE
National Intelligenccr,) said Mr.. II. has as
snnied the mask of neutrdIlty, that il may
act with the more effect; but they too
have their pay aud 1t is all done through
the triumylri of the other House. Mr.. Il
then said, that these triumviri were moral
" and politically dead: he repeated IA
conversation with a friend, who had said
that he considered the point of who was
not TO be elected President, to be settled
and that the only question 60 be agreed
on was who is To be elected Aud that
man, said NJ. Il. speak for myself, is
| Andrew Jackson; for, said he, aru too
old fox hunter 10 be pat on a new chase
