NetC York Memorial.--By the ur.,. r.,
articles too important to be postponed, ~.
been compelled to lay aside for the urc,.., :
report Of the Committee who carried "a w
ington the memorial Of the New Yorl NJ,
mics and Artisans, on the pecuniary a,,,...
the country. The treatment they received -
the President is represented as in the A;u1.-.
degree uncourteous, undignifed and iusuI,i..
They report that the President amused hr.-,
with opening letters in their presence. s,a II.
he affected not to notice their presence rn,, =
of the delegation announced the intention Of ,.;.
VISIT which was the signal for violent, outr,s.,.
and passionate denunciations Of the Bank n.
friends and supporters, and Of all who compl,ia.a
of the pressure of the times. The Delegate
were informed that they did not understand VIA,
they were after, and violently berated for Oo.
tering the chief Of the nation with their CON.
plants.
We can imagine the modification Of these h.
boring men, who, after having ardently supper,
ed "the hero of New Orleans''-'sthe plan Hs
publican Farmer of Tennessee''--foun their D.
titions spurned, and trampled under foot, and
their intelligence insulted by him whose Nm
they had nerved with strength and power
The following is copy of resolution passed
by the New York mechanics upon the present..
tion Of the report of their delegation.
Res0ired, That, in the undignified and upee,.
tlemanly conduct Of Andrew jackson towars,
the Delegation Of tho mechanics and artisans y
this city, e.conceiye the high station which hs
occupies as President of the United States y
have been degraded, and the signers Of the me-
mortal, whose representatives the members a
this delegation were, to have been treated with
undeserved contempt; and farther, that the p,I
pable neglect of Martin Van Buren, Of the eon
mon courtesies of society towards our delepatop
clearly proves him to be void of respec, 10 ibs
mechanical classes Of the community.
Baltimore Memorial We have been com.
PEELED TO condcnse the substance Of the report n
the Baltimore Delegation, who carried the d.,
poste memorial to the Capitol. In addition 10
the portion Of the report published in another CO.
lumn, we extract the following in relation to ono
of the Baltimore representatives in Congress. |,
is important as a specimen Of the slssish derotou
to party measures, which is now considered Il
Washington the test Of genuine Jacksonism:
Mr.. McKim admitted, and also acknowledge.
that, In his judgment the removal Of the depo
sites was wrong and injurious measure This
conviction, however, he intimated could not
charge his course in reference to the subject Of
the removal. His remark was, ''that the act wa,
done; and that he should, therefore, at all h1.
ards vote with the Government The reason
assigned by him for this determination was that
he had some influence with the Executive, which
he might turn to the advantage OF his constituents,
and that he did not wish to lose this by differing
with the Executive in opinion. Moreover, that
ne was elected to support Gen. Jackson and
would do so at the risk of his life and fortune:--
that no friend of the administration could differ
IN opinion with General Jackson, and preserve
his influence; that any attempt to advise Gen
jackson by his friends, would be met with an ex.
preston of displeasure; and as instance ofth,,
Mr.. Bibb had once attempted it, and was told, 10
lconsequence-"whent the President wanted hin,
he would send for him.
In order to show how such sentiment, were re-.
ceived among his constituents, we add tho r,o.
luton passed by the meeting on the subject:
Resolved, That this meeting entirely and IN.
hesitatlngly disapprove Of the conduct Of Isaac
McMIM, Esq. one Of the representatives from |
this city; and that they perceive, in his course,
subserviency 10 the views of the Executive
altogether irreconcileable to the exercise Of
manly freedom, and incompatible with the duties
OF the representative of an enlightened and free
community:-A subserviency that is calculated
to surrender the independence of Congress at
the footstool of the Executive power-as degrad
ing in the one, as it is dangerous in the other.
