Wanting to make a choice

In the Senate, on Monday, some conversation
took place between MIR. Clayton, Mr.. Clay, and
the Secretary of the Senate, about certain al
terations alleged to have been made in the pro-
test after it had been presented to the Senate
the printed copy not being identical with the
manuscript message.
The Secretary, being called on to explain that
matter, stated that the Private Secretary of the
President, Mr. DonelSon, called on him the day
following the presentation Of the message, and
desired to make few corrections of errors
which he said existed in the message. But the
Secretary believing that he had no authority to
allow any, the least alteration to be made in the
paper, told Mr.. Donelson so, who was perfectly
satisfied with the answer. The Secretary after
wards made pencil marks of the corrections
suggested by Mr.. Donelson, above the words in
the manuscript proposed to be struck out, which
now appear on the paper

ALEXANDRIA:
THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL "a, 1884.
ATTACKs UPON THE SENATE.

n
The ayowed object of the President and his
party as exhibited in the Protest and through
the party newspapers, is to put dopn the Senate.
To degrade and destroy that branch OF the Co
vernment would go far to establish that DEsPoT-.
ISM which now seems to hang over the country.
That the public may see the open and unds-
guised attempt now made to destroy the pre-
sent Constitution and form of Government OF
the United States, we give some quotations from
the Pennsylvania" the party "oReAN" in
Philadelphia. That paper speaks of the DIS
honest course' of the. FAcTIoUs MAJORITY" IN
the. Senate-of there being an "indelible brand
of infamy on the brazen fronts of the sordld
and unprincipled faction that degrades the Sen
ate and disgraces the country'-of the would
be murderers Of the highest reputation" &c. &c.
All this, however, is but a prelude to the direct
avowal that the Senate MUST BE DESTROYED.
The Pennsylvania says
"The democrats never heartily sanctioned il,
and now, having the power, should amend or
get rid of 1T once and foreUer."!
And then cautions the Senate against refusing
to pass the appropriation bills, adding
"Let them, IF THEY DARE, and hasten the burst.
ing ofthe storm which is already lowering above
their heads. They have yet to learn to what an
indignant people may be aroused"
The Pennsylvania utters a libel upon the de-
mocratic party; for they have in more than one
instance rallied round the Senate as the palla-
dunn of the rights of the states and the liberties
of the people. What we designed to show,
however, and have shown, is, that our very
oF
ment are threatened to be rudely seized and bro
ken up by the partizans of POWER God save us
from their unhallowed designs!

In the debate in the House of Representatives
on Friday last, Mr.. Allan, of Kentucky, said
eff the House would give him fair commit
tee, an unpacked jury, he would prove to the
nation that the Banks which hold the public mo-
ney were unable to repay it Let it be tried,
and before to morrow he would prove it. But
he did not acknowledge the right of the gentle
man to interrogate him as to the foundation
which he had for this charge. 1t was for the
gentleman to say whether he would permit the
trial Let him give me fair committee, and II
do not redeem my pledge, then will agree to
come under the censure of this House. he
made the assertion on his ownresponsiblhty, and
on his own information"

The Washington Correspondent Of the Bal
timore Patriot says:
You see Mr.. Forsyth's adroit movementto
incorporate upon the journals the obnoxiOu:
message. 1t was worthy Of politician, and 10
it he was prompted by Mr. Van Buren, himself
who left the chair to King, of Alabama, and
took chair by the side Of Forsyth, and put him
up to making this amendment, which is worthy
of him and the little magician. And of this
Mr.. King must here throw in word, though
would have kept it out, if he had not made
such ridiculous decision to-day on point OF
order. On Friday the President was bitterly
complaining that no one defended him. His
friends would not stand by him. Peyton, Of
Tennessee, whistled the same tune to-day in
the House. "None of you stand by me" said
the old gentleman in a vexatious tone. "No
body defended me from Southland, Sprague
and Poindexter, but that old maid from Alaba-
ma" meaning the honorable Senator from Ala
bama. All who know Mr.. King, and his prec.
sion, will think the President hit him oft TO a
charm"

Crops IN Nrginio.-It is stated in the Nor
folk papers that the accounts of the prospect of
crops is very gloomy, in consequence of the
late unexampled heavy rains. Those who have
planted corn in their low grounds, have had it
entirely drowned, and where they have not
planted, the ground continues so soaked as to
prevent its being prepared for that operation.
A gentleman who had recently passed through
several of the proXimate counties of North Ca
rolina states that there also the prospects for the
corn crops are quite disheartening.
