| ask him, in return, is il the intention
of his proviso, the otfsrping Of Tennessee
prompting in the Senate, as ] believe, to
give even that morsol to your gorgcG mon.
ster Of party, when you know he is unable
to digest what YOU have already crammed
into him!
Will he sacrifice the public interest 10
the low petty tyranny and corruption Of
your party discipline and vote vending sys-
ten.
Is there no danger to the public liberties
in thus openly rewarding your bought and
subsidized press under the false pre-
tcnce of economy.

If this be intended ne a certificate Of tho
Senator, 'pon honor, that he himself is an
honest man, and no party tool, we do not
dispute the proprely ofsuch certificate as
prop; but.nuler our free constitution, We
are not bound to become disciples Of that
faith.
If il be intended as an insinuation that
we have such an object, or any other than
the public service, meet him directly in
front, and inform him he already has my
answer, in the case put Of The palace slave.
fIe says the vote IN relation TO the doc.
uments was "solely the action of one
House"
And so when you pass a bill, or totIfy
some Indian Treaty, stipnlatng an annuity
while trees grow oi waters flow, tls solely
the act of ono House, and Of no avail until
the other House concur, without prompt
ing hope, and then it has the requisite
sanction.
Why did not the self commenting Sen.
otor give US credit for this view ofthe mat
ter, when we avowed it openly from tho
Lcginning? Why not charge the business
upon his own party, the Senator from Lou
isann? Because, suppose, he feels un-
der M special obligation TO make his Sa-
tanic Majesty blush.
II sulces for the propagators Of the
moral forgery to attempt to pass or bond
upon the multitude as on absolute bond,
whom they themselves have cut of the con-

since he made his speech, we have sprung

thousand dollars to be expended about for

lie says nothing. Ills tongue clcaves TO
the roof Of his mouth, which he opens with
becoming humility, swallows down the cam

his stars that IT was not volcano.
The Senator said something, which
have imperiectly noted, about giving a lar
ger sum from political motives. Let him
not read his book at us.
We have the proof-not Of palace slaves
but of honorable men, that the prices
asked by G. g. S. are fair and usual; and
we have already been sufficiently bit by
the mcrccnary corps OF undcrbIdders--as
witness the cry Of economy, retrenchment
and reform; and behold the fleece of wool,
in this appropriation bill before us!
Witness n certain party promising to al
nict us--underbldding all others, and
promising to afllict us with their petty ty
rannlcs and corruptions, by using the pop.

"The notion that the proviso amounts to
n rehe ction OIL the minority, Is not derived
from any thing in the proviso of the House
of Representatives. - Something that
has occurred here emphasizing here has
taught the House TO be on its guard, and
add the proviso.' "What occurred here
was calculated to put the House on their
guard, for the public interest"
Now mark how plain tale shall put
down these insnuaton s--not rejecting
upon our motives at all, ! suppose.
What did occur here. What denomi-
mated, in q few remarks on the ith inst,
Tennessee promptlng--a prompting that
seemed TO issue almost from the interior
cells oftho hermitage itself 10 the House of
. Representatives, what 10 do in the busi
ness; and especially to refuse the appro
pration, as they have done, and followed
up the refusal, almost in the language of
the Senator, by an lmpertinent insInuatlon
aud dictatiop.
That prompting was a species ofcorrupt-
ing discipline that never was witnessed
under mr. Monroe or mr.. Adams.
| admit that the notion of the proviso
being reflection did not originate in the
proviso. 1t originated before and far be.

II originated in the tOunt of that prompt.
