The following remarks are made in the last
lester Of the w ashingtcn Correspondent II the
u. 8. Gazette
A few days more, and the issue will be known.
IF General Houston shall be acquitted OF all
blame, the result will discourse an awful and
lnouitory lesson to members Of Congress;-be-
cause the decision will be on record as prece-
dent, and, in that case, would be referred to to
Justify any future outrages Of this character
do not know that there is much exaggeration IN
the language of a correspondent OF the New York
Evening Post, in his description of the Court
Of General Jackson. We are certainly overrun
with set Of men whose faces and manners and
conversation are all equally new to US. To call
them tenacious would be unjust; to attribute to
them any Ubiquitous designs would be improper;
but we might be induced to say with old Kent,
have seen better faces on mems shoulders than
any OF those which are now around US. do not
quote literally, but according to the promptngs
Of memory always addicted toplay the traitor,
We are toe apt to come to decisions on sngnt
grounds,-and it may turn out that these indlvl-
duals against whom such harsh things have been
SAID BY the correspondent OF Jackson paper,
may be the first to acquiesce in the decision OF
the House, should it be against General Houston.
IF thew have been led into a belief that they
might participate with him in profitable con:
tract. such course ofacquiescence would be still
more honorable to their feelings, as men and as
patriots.
admit there is strong ground for apprehension
on the part of members Of the House, when they
are informed, from authority scarcely to be dis
puted, that General Jackson himself approves the
conduct of General Houston, and desires that the
process which he has adopted to curtail the IL.
berty Of speech and destroy the responsibility OF
members. should become more general.
