and sinuous in reference 10 Post Office
appointments. Faithful and acceptable
postnlasters have been removed from of
fee for opinions sake, and Executive
sycophants and demagoguc parisans re-
warded with their places.
1 say these things in no willingness to
find fault. l would do no injustice to
the Postmaster General. He may, to a
great degree, have been influenced by
Misrepresentation, and suffer wrong
from the abused confidence which, weak
ly, or inconsiderately, he has reposed in
others. Yet he is the responsible head
of this highly important Department of
the Government, and for much, very
much, Of the present embarrassment, he
is most justly to be held accountable to
Congress and before the People.

and Of the respect which was due to the
deliberate opinion Of the Senate, or of
the House Of Representatives, on such
a question as this, when it came in con-
fict with his own. MIR. Clay added,
that if there was, in either House Of Con-
gress, a single individual whose private
judgment approved Of the removal ofthe
deposites as an original act, indepen-
dently Of party considerations or Postc-
rior circumstances, he had yet to meet
with that man.
AS TO the question yesterday address
sed by the Senator from Massac husetts,
to those who hold the power, whether
they meant to adjourn without taking
any measure to relieve the country from
its present suffering, MIR. G.. said, he
verify believed that they do not know
what to do; they are afraid to stay, aud
afraid to return; they are between two
fires-airaid of Jackson if they remain,
and oftheir constituents, I they go home.
II, however, they mean to do nothing TO
recover possession Of the public treas
ure, if they mean to do nothing TO re-
lieve the distress which pervades the
country, Mr.. G. said he was himself
ready to concur with them in fixing the
earliest practicable day for adjournment,
after passing the bills necessary to carry
on the Government.
What would be the consequence OF
such contempt, by those in power, OF the
successive evidences Of public opinion,
presented from day to day, and from
week 10 week, it was easy to foresee.-
Already, he said, the whole 'party" was
crumblng away; sinking, like the banks
of the Mississippi: undermined by the
torrent, whole acres at time. Why,
(said MIR. c. | am told that the whole
Regency Of Newly ork taking the alarm,
has fed FROM Albany, and taken refuge
in this city. Whether they would OF
would not be re-demanded by Governor
Marcy, under the laws in such cases
made and provided, he could no: say: bn'
if they remained, he hoped they would
be allowed the benefit of all the rights
of hospitality due to such distinguished ed
strangers. For himself, he condoled
with the gentlemen, in this the trying
time Of their misfortunes, and trusted
that they would be able to bear then
with manly (or,itude and Christian Re-
signation.

Mr.. CLAY took occasion, on Wedne

Mr.. CLAY took occasion, on Wednes-
day last, (says the National Intelligen-
cer,) in presenting to the Senate, some
memoriais,& s. especially one from Doyles-
town, in Bucks county, Pa. to animad-
vert seriously for the most part, but in
part playfully, to the present state of the
country. Among the opinions express
sed by the memorialists, is one which
Mr.. Clay said he most decidedly enter
tanned in common with them, that, after
the vote by one branch of Congress, and
the removal Of the deposites by the Se-
cretary of the Treasury, was unjustilia-
BILE and unconstitutional, it was the duty
of the Secretary Of the Treasury instant
ly to have restored the deposiics to the
place from which they had been illegally
taken; and such, he said, would have
baen the course Of any Secretary Of the
Treasury who entertained a proper sense
OF the fallibili,y Of his own judgmen Mt,

Rhode Island.--The Washington Globe
IS quite in the daldrums on account of
the Rhode-lsland Jackson Legislature.
1t says that their Resolutions are the
boldest they have seen, and rs consistent
as they are bold" Now this must bo
because the Legislature is so thorough =
ly Jacksonian. At least we are bound
to suppose that they are SO, from the
great fuss that was made about tho "ylo-
rious victory" and being "bold," is in
character with their chief; and being
consistent" is what u thorough going
jackson man prides himself on. So that
the Resolutions are just what ought to
have been expected.
But the Globe says, "are then already
Tired Of LiberiyW that is of being under
the rule of the Kitchen Cabinet. Yes,
they arc. We tell the Globe they ara
heartily tired, and we appeal to Mr..
Burgess, Of the House, and Mr.. Potter,
(who would be) of,be Senate, if Rhode =
Island is not completely tired Of the
whole concern"
"Do they want a King" says tho
Globe' Yes any body, any thing, rath-
er than King Amos Telegraph.
