Mr.. Stunberry characterized the message on void
OF cnndor, honesty, and opcnness, aud stated his be-
lief that was evidently he production OF tho Chef
Minister, the great mngician and contained all the
Virginia doctrines. The appendix To the message
charged TO the extravaganza OF Congress- measures
which rd n,ver received tho sanction III that BODY

bill iurthc re'icf at Mrs. DecatUr-thc payment Of
claims On our citiIcns the colonization plan--and
number Of measures which were not likely to become
laws. lilo could not sec for what purpose such mis-
statements could be made IN a communication made
by the Chief Magistrate except that II was TO pro.
duce an effect Oh public opinion. He repeated his
belief that such was the object Of the Message. 1t
was intended TO deludc the public and had more the
appearance Of 4 low clCctioneerng document than Of
message Of the President Il had also been seen
that IN some ut the papers, Remuneration had been
made against some Oft minority who had not been
enough to the views Of the Executive of.
fcecs. He stated tina, instead of being extravaganza
tho Congress had had 10 exert utmost iirtnacss To
resist the extravaganza of the Executive officers aud
that every measure of an oxtravagant character had
emanated from the Executive officers.
Mr. Polk mndo some remarks in reply.
Mr. Z. 7. Barbour ais went into argument in
defence oil the character and views Of the Chief Ma
glstrate.
Mr. Vance said hat the course pursued By the
President would not operate on his mind either for or
against that individual. He reminded the House thar
he had himself been always advocate of the sys-
tenn OF internal Improvement He stated that by
that system, tho West stand or fall Unless II
be SUI tanned, the West can never have any parci-
patton IN the appropriations of the General Govern
mont. As soon as the wealth derived from emiorn
ton shall be exhausted, TIL West must be drained of
every dollar, unless this system be continued IL is
only by its continuance that the pos,erity of those
who now livc IN the west can be prevented from be-
coming heweTS Of wood and drawers Of water TO the
Eastern States. He stated that the South had durnr
the last year, received OF the disbursements OF
the General Government, than had been expended
III the whole OF the western country Internal In
provemen,. He then defended his colleague from
the attack made upon him bv the gentleman from,
Tennessee. His colleague was able TO sustain INN
self. That gentleman should have more gratitude
for his colleague, and for the balance of the OHIO aud
Kentucky, and Pennsylvania Delegation who would
now vote against him on this question. For himself
he felt dSappolntI mt for he la ioretod from the
stump, the course which the present Admins,
would take. His colleagues had also fran! the s,unlo
declared that they well understood the thing, aud
that General Jackson was the firm steady an! con
sstcnt friend Of Internal Improvement Il was clear
that he mad far succeeded IN conceglng his rrh,.
feelings on the subject, as TO deceive thoss genie-
men. Thcy had, however, gone hand IN hand with
the gentleman from tennessee, and had gained the
victory. They had attained the triumph and now
they were receiving their reward. When this mes
sage came into the House, il struck damn to the
feelings of those individuals who then felt the final
destruction Of oil their fond hopes.
MI Bell then obtained The floor. and rcpcd in n
tone of vehcmence, which rendered il impossible for
the Speaker to refrain from calling him 10 oder two
or three times, and reprchend The language which
he used. He charged many members of tho House
with having secretly abandoned the Administration
some time, bet q having only openly shown them

president had put his veto all measIrts &c d.,
character. II only for this measure There Will

people to speak out the subject and the President
VIII yield to that voice, and ii it should be reuurcd
will fall PROSTATE before it.
MI Sutherland said he should vote in favor of the
bill tie snid Pennsylvania the friend of Internal
improvements, ana also tho friend of General Jack
son, and sho would ABIDE by both, waiting wi,hcon.
hdcnce, for the Glow but certain process by which
the system OF Improvement wou!a universally pre-

Mr.. Wayne then addressed the House in reply to
the gentleman from Ohio.
MIR. a. II. ShcPperd wished to Lnow whether he
was aimed al by the gentleman from Tennessee. iAIr
Be as one of the false friends of General Jackson
who voted against the Indian Bill. or by the aene-
man from Alabama, (AIr. Lewls,J as one Of the de
sertcrs' from The party.
Mr.. Bell dIsclaimed any personal illusions to the
gentleman.
Mr.. Isaaks said he did no, know. from the course
Of some gentlemen to-day whether he himself should
hereafter be considered as n friend or an cnsmv of
the present Administration. At any rate he wonId
