htVeFed on Monday WeeN to tue oeuate et t1e United States, by the Hon. Mr. Chambers. a Senator from the state Of Maryland, in en- syser to one from Georgia Senator. MT. King) who is warm friend Of the admins traitor: at =,
 Tbe Senator from Georgia, in a spirit of ftanknese and candor which did him honor, and for which he trndered his acknOwledg- nen,s, had openly, and without disguise, dis closed the extent of party feeling in Congress. He has staled im plain and explicit terms. that, # ,Ue kad c0lunLy proposed q restOratien cf the depOsites to the bank cf the United Stutes, eUth- out connecting .Oith tt Gn attdck MpOD the 0dmfn- istrufiOn, aCe should hGUe had tke UOtcs ef tiCO- thirds of each House cf Congress, in J0vOr cf such proposition, and the reason sChy sOe con
 net mOtc O6t0in tcO. thirds in e0ck brGnck is, that swck vOte sOould break dOsOn General JGck- som's administration. The Senator is one of tho few who will not be held in the traces Of PaFty: he has distinctly announced his inGi- vidUal exemption from those bonds by which his friends are chained: he means to obey the higher duties of his station, and give his aid to . measure which he believes calculated to promote the best interests of the people.
 The Senator deserves praise for announcing a fact which his means of information has en- abled him to ascertain with certainty that vh,lst secure the most undOubted confidence tn his accuracy. And what is the factl Sir, it is one upon which the good people of this county will ponder well; t is one which ] tTust and hope they will alt lseary aDd, one and all, will deliberately vefect BpOn. We are
 noaking issues to send to the people and the polls, to be tried and decided. l desire that this evidence be used in the trial 0f these is- sUes--that it be known far and wide, how matters stand here, in the very ark of our po- Htical safety, amongst those who are sent here by freemeD, to represent Isemen, to protect the constitutional and legal rights, to guard the interests and promote the happiness of their thirteen millions of people. Yes, sir, let it be known, that on this Aoor snd by candid and honorable Senator. political friend of the administration. it is distinctly announced. that, although two thirds of each branch of Congress are deeply convinced in their Judgment that the late measures of the Executive were unwise; that theiF influence upon the country, was decidedly pernicious that the people were injured and oppressed by them, and that they were convinced of the propriety of retracing these false steps; shat # they regarded only their duty to the coan- try and the people, they would vote fur a measure which would relieve the distresses and advance the happiness of the communi- ty but that they are restrained from the ex. ercise of this admitted duty for the cause that tsuch vote would probably destroy the popularity Of General Jackson, and lessen the hopes of political elevation now indulged by those who are identified with him.
 Let the people know that when they con sider the end object of this government to be the happiness and the comfort of lhem- selves, their wives and their children, and the elevation of the national character at home and abroad that when they consider the off csfe who administer the government as their seryants, engaged in performing their work, far tssiv advantage, aad according to their Wi1t, they are in total error. Let them know hatascording to the now admitted doctrine Of this administration. and its advocates in the halls of COngress, there are other and higher demands; other and dearer interests-other and greater objects. which those rulers regard. That the wants and necessities of the people cannot be regarded until the political wants of their rulers are provided for: that the eleva- pect tO ride into office through his popularity, are motives stronger and more imperative, than the restoration of contentment and plen- ty to whole community who are now crying aloud for relief--fOr necessaries--for bread who are perishing and famishing, and fainting under l0ad of oppression, and loss, and pow erty. which the passion and fury of one man has put upon them.
 Sir. I am one of those who yield obedience to the old -iashioned doctrine, not only that tlse people are those whose interest and pros periiy are alone the legitimate ends and ob- iects of our Government. hut that they are the true and only source of power. If, upon appeal to them, they shall sanction the doc trine nNw. for the first time, publicly ann0un- ced, that the protection of the popularity of few individaals--the perPetuatiOn of power in the hands of Gen. Jackson, and those who stand or fall with him--tbe support of an ad administration when its measures are admitted to be defensibe-when the people shall de- liberately give sanction to the doctrine that these are objects it to supercede the claims of an injured and suffering people; that the in- terests and prosperity of the many, the whole, are to be sacrificed to the political elevation of the fsw:--the two or three individuals who gre, and who expect to be in poweF--then sir, for one, will bow in submission. The peO. ste haze sthe rights to make. the. Goyerumepl what they please. If they are no longer de- sirous to be free. they have the poor privilege Of becoming slaves. Let that experiment he tiled. And have no fear of the verdict which yill be returned to us on this issue. They aill not give power to those who abuse it by making 1t tributary to the personal ambition of any man. or any set of men. regardless of the cOuntry--the whole country.
