/. One hundred and eight members OF the House
Of Representatives decided by their vote of Mon
day, that the people ought not to be trusted with the
perusa Of the acts relative to the Court Martial at
Mobile, until they should be accompanied by COM
mentary prepared by the friends of Gen. Jackson.
-I,terence The naked facts submitted to an intel
ligent people, would have overthrown the character,
and destroyed the ambitious hopes of the Gen.,
g. The House of Representatives orders the "a
bove facts to be printed. The Committee to whom
they referred contrary to all usage keep back the
facts, until they have been able, by dsarrangement,
and re-arrangement and every other kind of arran-
cement, to change their bearing. as to perplex the
public mind, and prevent it from settling down In
any positive conclusions to the guilt or innocence
of the party implicated. d.-Infsrsnce: The Commit
tee found it impossible to s0itea0ash General Jack
son by any ordinary process, and therefore adopted
the desperate expedient Of tramPng upon the i'm
memorial practice, and implied rules OF the House,
to wash the Ethiop white.
8, When Mr.. DraytOn rose to make an amend
ment to the resolution offered by the Chairman Of
the Committee, with view to add to the facts, to
which the report appended, such other fac is as
will be shown by the new documents called Tor by
Mr.. Sloane Il which that gentleman stated might be
expected Immediately, Mr.. Wckliffe, go The acholt
friend of Gen. jackson, called the previous question
"a call which was sustained by all the go the holes
of the same side-Inference:-Th new facts would
have been more than sufficient to prevent all that
was intended to be effected by the sophstry Of the
report, and the Encouragement Of the facts.
WHrrEwAsH1Nc.-Whlle the votaries of Gene
raj Jackson in the House of Representatives were or
Monday, whitewashing his cruel and illegal execu
ton Of the six militia men, his coadjutor and hen
apparent Mr. Calhoun, underwent the same operation
in the Senate. 1t being considered by some OF tht
master spirits of the party essential to its unity
purpose and harmony of action, that some strong et
fort should be made to resusctate the Vice President
and relieve him from the universal odium which he
had Justly incurred by his conduct during the ses
sion Of 1885, Mr.. Tazwel commenced the work
of termination. Many leading Opposition men il
the Senate followed with elaborate speeches, attemp
ting to show that the President Of the Senate hat
no power of keeping order in it, and thus to justit
Mr.. Calhoun in a doctrine which the country ha
pronounced to be the most absurd that ever issue
from the lips or pen of any man pretending to CON
mon sense The discussion thus arising, was con
tnued yesterday, and will, it is understood, go OF
to-day. Should the majority in the Senate on th
side of Opposition which exists there in consequence
of the Misrepresentation, on the part of some Sen
ators, of the sentiments of the States which sent
them, agree that it is eXpedient to nominate Mr.
Calhoun as a candidate for reelection to the Vic
Presidency, it is probable that the debate will resul
in vote of publication. This endeayor to throw
dust in the eyes the people would not, however W
think, be sustained by the party generally. I'll
many derelctions of partisans which MIR. Calhoun
misconduct has occasioned to say nothing of the
fusa ofthe Jackson Convention in Maryland, and
that yet unkinder cut--the recent refusal of tn
jackson caucts in New York, to nominate him
show that he is considered dead weight on tn
party, which, in its present totterng condition it
but little able to support.
