" SENSELESS CRIES"

Mr.. Forsyth is unfortunate, sometimes, in the
use of phrases. Our readers remember his mi
SCRABBLE petitions" In the debate on Friday last,
Mr. Forsyth asked why gentlemen continued to
talk about what might or what might not be
done and why they told the country that Con-
gress could have no power, because its action
was controlled by the Executive? Why did
they not test the sense of Congress, and see if
they could do any thing? Why all this Senseless
cru about what ought to be done?"
Mr. Chambers said:
eff the loud and numerous calls for relief con-
tanned in the memorials, with which our table is
loaded, be intended as the "senseless cry" then
was it matter between the Senator and
the people. If the remark was intended for
those Senators who had endeavored to draw
from the administration some plan for relief, he
trusted it would be heard de diein diem. How
ever unpleasant it might be to the Executive ear,
or that of its friends, he hoped it would contin-
lie to annoy them until, like the unjust judge,
they should be compelled to do what was right
ifnot from a sense Of justice, at least from
regard to their peace
FSir, is it :" senseess cry'' to ask the Execu-
tive to restore the people to the prosperity and
happiness they enjoyed so long and so abundant
ly, and which they would now enjoy but for Elk
eCutlVe usurpatl0n! is IL SenSeleSs cry W
ask him to forbear overshadoWing the whole
land with gloom and sorrow?-to remove the
load ofoppression under which they are groan-
ing? They know that the Executive has brought
these troubles upon them through an order of
the Secretary, bound to obey his mandates or
suffer expusion--that the scheme was devised
in the Executive closet, without any agency or
advice of Compensatory are told it is to try an
experiment. and they have bitter experience of
its fatal influence in blasting their fairest hopes
and crushing them to the dust. Is it "senseess
cry'' to ask the Executive to desist-no longer to
continue this experiment on their fortunes, their
occupations, their happiness, their every thing
dear to them? Stop the experiment, and the
" senseless cry" will no longer be heard; but
until it shall stop, the cries of the people will
grow louder and louder; and venture the pre-
diction, said Mr. c.. it will become so loud, that
no man in this country, however elevated his po-
litical station, will dare to dsobey it, That's my
opinion, sir; believe it will be obeyed."

FARMERS REGISTER.

We have received the February number OF
the Farmers Register, the best conducted and
the best printed agricultural work in the United
States. Mr.. Ruffins labors are ably seconded
by Mr.. Whites skill and taste.
The Register is full of the most useful nfor
nation to the Farmers Of Virginia and The
Southern States generally. We confidently pre-
dict that it will make a new era in Southern
agriculture.
The work presents every evidence Of success
and prosperity, and we hope that it may cent?
nue. to receive the liberal support Of those who
are so much interested in its continuance

ALABAMA.

The Mobile Commercial Register of the Stu.
states, from source that leaves no room toI
doubling its correctness, that an express was
sent from Montgomery few days since, with
communication to Governor Gayle, informing
him the United States officers had commenced,
or were about commencing the eviction OF the
intruders upon the reservation Of the indians,
and calling on His Excellency for efficient aid
to protect the good citizens who were in danger
of being disturbed in their possessions. IL rh
be recoHected that the operation Of the or6a'
from the Var Department to the Marshal has
been limited TO those rhite persons 1cho harsta'
ken possession Of the Indian Reservations ana
refuse to Surrender them. The reply OF the 10
vernon to this application for assistance has
been in substance, as we understand, that the
General Government were perfectly right ID
compelling these removals, and that he Woua
furnish no aid whatever to those who might a.
tempt resistance to their authority

HOW To BREAK A BANK.
Mr. CHAMBERS, in the Senate on Friday,
do tho follOwinU remarks.

Mr.. CHAMBERS, in the Senate on Friday,
made the following remarks:
A word as to newspaper authority The Sc
nator from Georgia will not rely on it. Now,
sir, all that can be asked is the best evidence
that can be had We have tried to procure evil
dence of certain Executive transactions, by an
application to the fountain head. twas refused.
Where can it be found but in the newspapers, to
which the Executive gave it, though he refused
it to the Senate? This must excuse him for u.s.
ING the newspaper version of d letter not ano-
nymous, but protesting to be from very noto-
rious personage-one who was called an " "a
gent" but who had the mien and tone of autho-
rity. He might be considered, perhaps, one of
the parts or Fragments of the Government
The " Government no longer, it is supposed,
claims to be unit" its divisibility was very
fully proved. 1t seemed to be portable, too; for
part of it appeared to have travelled with the
agent while part remained in this city. The in
structions which were made here by the Secre-
tary, no doubt by direction of the President,
contained a series of inquiries, all based upon
the idea of mutual guarantee of the league
Banks, but, at the end of the first stage, in Bal
timore, before these inquiries were presented to
a single Bank, the agent under an authority to
add any others. framed a whole series of propo-
sitons, totally abandoning the fundamental no.
ton of guarantee, and, indeed in the whole
affair talks Of what the Government should re-
quire, and of what it should not require, as if he
were not only part, but much the most impor-
tant part of the Government" The letter he
alluded to protested the object of the "Govern-
ment" to be, to bring the Bank to the feet of the
l EXecutive-to break it up.
Could the Senator tell whether the letter was
genuine? Here MIR. FORSYTH said he knew no.
thing about it. "Non mi recordo," said Mr.
G. Well, perhaps the Senator from Maine (Mr
SHEPLEY) knows all about it. He has given us
his account of. those who are said to come from
the kitchen, in such terms to justify us in be-
lieving he holds intercourse with those who can
} inform him on this point. The letter had been
published and he had no knowledge tina,
It had ever been denied. 1t rested, therefore,
on the same authority as the letter of the
President to the Cabinet proper; and, as il
was fair to adopt the rule {" like master like
man, he should use it as genuine. Now,
by the aid of this letter, we might perhaps be
enabled to understand the other facts con-

notice in the Senate Of his resignation, will be
found in another column Of to-day's Gazette.
It understood that Mr.. Rives will not accept
any appointment which it may be in the power
of the President to tender him; and under these
circumstances, we should not be surprised to
see him at once put in nomination for Vice Pre-
sident He would make a candidate far prefer
able to others who have been named.

MIR. PRESTON'S SPEECH.

We may shortly expect Mr. Prcston's speech
The reason why it has not heretofore been pub

Washington on the next day after the delivery
of his speech, and that he carried with him the
speech as reported; and Immediately after his
return, before he had corrected it for the press
he was called to attend the sick bed Of nea.
