Mr.BENroN though 1.-THE senate ought to
defer, for the present, from taking vote
on the resolutions. He said, he had NO
opportunity of carefully examining the
reports, and therefore he knew but lit
tie of their contents. However, he must
say, that he had found things in them at
which he had felt much mortified.
Mr.. WEBSTER thought the best course.
which was called for by the Importance
ofthe subject, and what was due as well
to the community as the senate, was this.
to take vote on the first resolution.
He would then move to lay the others
upon the table, until such time rs gen
tlemen had an opportunity of examin.
ling them, when he would move that
they be taken up.
The question was then taken on a
greelDg to The first resolution reported
by the post office committee, in the fol-
lowing words:
"Res0lved, That it is proved and ad
mittcd that large sums of money have
been borrowed at different banks by the
postmaster general, in order to make
up the deficiency in the means Of carry
ing on the business Of the post Office de-
partment, without authority given by
any law of Congress: and that. as Con-
gress alone possess the power TO borrow
money on the credit Of the United States.
all such contracts for loans by the post
master general are illega! and void"
Aud the question on agreeing TO this
resolution was decided as follows:
YEAS Messrs. Benton, Bib, Black.
Brown, Calhoun, Chambers, Clay. Clay
ton, Ewing, Forsyth, Frelnghuyseu.
Grundy, Hendricks, Hill, Kane, Kent,
King of Alabama, King of Geo, Knight.
Lynn, Mangum, Moore, Naudain, Poin-
dexter, Porter, Prentiss, Preston, Rob
bins, Robinson, Shepley, Silsbec, Smith
Southland, Sprague, Swift, TomIinson
Tyler, Waggan,an, Webster, White
Wright--4l
NAYS-None.
So The resolve was unanimously a.
dopted.
On motion Of MIR. WEBSTER, who con-
graduated the senate on the unanimity
of this vote, the residue of the resolu
ltions were then ordered to lie on the
table.

REMUNERATION.

few days ago, a public dinner was
given at Tuscaloosa TO the hon. Gabriel
Moore, the late Governor of Alabama,
and one Of her present senators in con
grcss. We give, below a portion of his
speech on that occasion in reply TO a
complimentary toast. In him the ad-
ministration no longer finds a supporter.
His once ardent admiration Of the pres
|ident is turned to hatred Of tyrant. -
He throws the whole weight of his great
Influence intothc scale of popular liber-
ty against the reckless entertainments OF
a dcspot. He comes and plants his
foot under the bright star flag Of the
Wings, and nc comes not alone. His
State is with him, ready 10 sustain llno
and his principles.
Mr.. Moore said he had been one of
the early aud warm friend. of General
Jackson, and he adhered to him until by
the violation of all the pledges Of him
self and friends, the president had
compelled him either to desert him, or
the principles of constitutional liberty.
When this alternative presented itself
he had not hesitatcd. He went on to
enumeratc the various pledges which
the president had violated. among the
rest, he spoke Of the assurance that was
given that if gen. jackson was elected,
he would serve but one term. 1t had
been said that when an incumbent of
the presidency had his eye upon Sc
cond election, the first term was gener-
ally spent in electioneering. rather than
in seeking the good Of the country; yet
this course which gen. jackson had
condemned when candidate; he had
practised when he had attained the Of
flee. Mr.. M. spoke Of the Jealous cG
forts for retrenchment and reform,
which the Jackson party. and himself
among the rest, had made, while Mr..
Adams was in office. General jackson
had pledged himself TO the same cause !;
and yet the retrenchment actually eff
fected proved TO be the increase of off
ces aud almost doubling of the expenses
OF government: the reform was nothing
more than an indiscriminate removal
Ittu plllCc ol All Dut his own UeVOtcu
partlsans--though many of those reno.
we'd were men of high honor and intcg-
rity-and putting in their place his own
creatures who were prepared to do his
will in all thugs, whether right or
wrong.
The opinion publicly expressed by
gen. jackson, previous to his election,
that the constitution should be SO alter
ed that members Of congress should moi
be eligible to offices in the gift of The
President, and that the practice of max
ing such appointments was fruitful
source of corruption, was referred to by
MIR. VI. and placed in conspicuous con-
irast with the practice of the same indi
vidual since he attained the presidency.
Mr.. M. placed in strong colors the
abuses of the post office department..
While on this subject he read an ex>
tract from Judge Story's commentaries,
IN which that jurist, with something like
prophetic wisdom, had stated that the

Philadelphia, Aug. Isl 1834.}
SIR have the honor to inform the
department, that the coinage of gold
according TO the new ratio. of gold to
silver, commenced this morning, being
the earliest day permitted by the pro
visions of the act.
10 making this communication, it may
be satisfactory TO recur to the peculiari
ties by which the new gold coins are &c
he Distinguished from those of former
issues. They are the following:
On the face, the new coins will be
readily distinguished by head of lib
erty disencumbered of cap.
On the reverse, the surplus motto ssE
pluribus unum,'' which for many years
has occupied a portion of the disk above
the figure of the eagle, is now omitted
These changes, independently of the
facility to be derived from them, in dis
tinguishlng the future from the past
emissions Of our gold coins, are recon-
mended by nearer adherence to the
provisions of the law, as well as by the
rules OF taste and classic authority
The views In these respects, presented
III my communications of the 9th ult
having met your appreciation, will,
doubt not, be sustained by the judgment
Of the public.
In regard to the omission of the mot
to above referred to, the same improve.
ment was introduced in tie quarter dol
lar in 1881; the subject having, by com
munication of the 10th January, Of tina,
year, been submitted to the president
through the department, and approved.
The eagle Of the former issues weighs
go grains, the bali eagle 1885 grains
and the quarter eagle 67z grains. The
eagle under the present law, will weigh
258 grams, the half eagle 1919 and the
quarter Ga grains These weights are
recited, because desirable to be kept in
mind, rather than as affording a further
criterion distinction between the two oil
classes OF coins-since an inspection.
much more cursory than that of weigh
ing, will distinguish them by the preced-
ing characteristics.
The eagle and half eagle of the new
coinage, will be less in diameter than
the two former emissions, and that in a
greater proportion than the diminution
of weight would indicate. This, how
ever, though a decided amendment Of
our coinage, is Of less value as a distinc
live mark, since the comparison would
require the presence of coin OF both
classes.

respect, your obedent servant,
