takes upon its face.--ln the Debate on Mr. Wick
fe's kesolution(on Monday the eth inst. )somo al
nsions were made to the mannc ofbrng ing out this
Document--lt seems that Mr.. w. has again called
Tor Report from the Secretary Of War of all the
Works OF Internal Improvement, which have been
projected by the government with their SURVEYS
estimates, &c. This call was made originally as far
back lS26--aiter waiting IL month, no answer
was returned.-' The Department was then has
tened by another resolution, nquirng into the diff
cuities which prevented reply. They say, there
there was no difficulty at all; that a reply had been
made out, but the subject had been overlooked.
They do not say that they in the possession
of the means to give full answer and | wish the
House (said Mr.. W to say, whether they consid-
er the answer which has been given rs a con'pli-
once 1cifh The dUHadc ia lS26.''-Mr. w. com
planned of this delay in the War Departnent--and
contrasts 1t with the wonde' nj aacrity which the
same Department had shewn, in complying with
very recent cali for certain Indian papers This
call was made by resolution of hIr. Wood, of o.
hio; to'which MIR. Sloane had moved an amend
nent calling Tor information as to certain conn
plants made against an Indian Agent. The letter
OF Gen. j. was the ve.;' letter which Mr.. Woods
had IN his eye. No time lost in having il be-
fore the II. oil r.; and in truth, the whole plot seems
to have been very well digested beforehand. MIR.
Wichlhic presses Mr. Woods upon this point 90 II
Gays he) the gentleman viii say why he modified
the resolutions and particularly, if he VIII declare
that he was not previously informed that such
modification wo"d bring up the letter which has
~
INTO the House, for the purpose of political cfiec,
elsewhere: II the gentleman will say this, shall
change my opinion as 10 the paternity. But, have
LAID II down for rule for myself, that will nei-
thcr inrcduce, nor vote for, any resolution which
Is not intended TO result i'll action of this House
win never lend my vote 10 any call or resolution
the end oil which is merely to furnish political ali
inent 10 this nation. l DO not say that my rule
ought To be rule for Others and when say, that
Ii pursued any other course, should consider il
flySplf- mi hat 70 q lrl
to Others MIR. Woods seems unwilling to meet
the question of Mr.. W. and ne chooses 10 blink it
rather than 10 confess the truth.-A correspondent
| OF the n. Y. American is, however, more frank
and communicative upon the matter He chuckles
at the success OF the trick, and fairly lets the cat
out OF the bag.-lt is unnecessary for us to say
that hlessrs. Sloane and Woods, are both Ohio Re-
representatives. and friends of the Administration
X with MIR. John c. Wright (the notorious author
OF 'he,doubie- faced correspondence constitute
bio = as good and as true men, to the cause of
tee Coalition, as Mr.. Clay drill from all his
Preoran Cohorts But TO the tale as told by one,
who seems 10 be behind the curtain
" i on may perhaps wonder that the great Jack
son party in the House should have allowed the
printing of this letter, fatal TO the literary pre-
| tensions OF the General. As hear, the facts are
! these: A resolution was introduced by Mr.. Woods
| Tor inquiry 10 tire breaking of an indian Chief
OF the Creeks. To this Mr.. Sloan, who, il is I'M
derstood, had seen this literary curiosity in the
| " ar Department, moved an amendment also re-
guessing intelligence as 10 any complaints that had
been made of any Indian Agent, SC. which pass
ed without inquiry the JacksonianS never dream
ing of the existence Of this letter which this call
for documents brought forth. When transmitted
to the Speaker by the Secretary of War, the doc
uments were, rs matter of course, ordered TO be
printed, and no previous examination was neces-
sary. You may be assured that had the JaclIso-
mans known the object of the resolution, it would
never have been passed.''
Butit will not do, gcntlemen-All your evOlutions
and stratagems, viii not save you from the wrath
OF an intelligent people. You may obtain nj. s.
copies of the original letter from the archives Of
the War Office, or from the ObLging Printers of
the ii. of R.-You may adopt the suggestion OF
John Binns, have fac simile of the letter en-
grayed, and circulated in accompaniment with
his celebrated Coffin hand bill of the Six Militia
men-All these arts are vain and unproftablc.-
The origin Of this Coalition; its outrageous doc
| trines, and its mischievous measures, will sink it
beyond redemption. Neither the lampoon nor ca
ricature efGen. Jackson--nei her bad spelling nor
| false grammar the grossest calumnies upon him
self or an injured woman, can the men
in power from the indignant retribulion Of an in
| jnred people.
