Our dates from Washington are to the
23d. The appropriation bill is the main
topic in the House. In the senate, there
are new springs of excitement and speech
flying. On the 18th, the president trans
mltted to that body his solemn protest a.
galnst the passage of Mr.. Clay's resolu-
tons relative to the removal of the depos-
ties, requesting that it might be entered on
the journal of the senate. After the read
ing Of the protest, Mr.. Poindexter made
"A few remarks, much tinctured with feel
ing of indignity and sense of insult, and
moved that the paper be not received -
This motion is still pending.
The president considers himself, as to all
moral effect on the public mind, impeach-
ed, and maintains that the senate, in the
passage of the resolution objected to, has
exceeded its constitutional powers, and in
vaded the rights of the house of represen.
tatives, whose privilege it is, to find and
prosecute call impeachments." He re-as-
serts the right of the executive to the con.
troll of the public funds and public proper
ty;and enters largely into an argument in
support of the power of the president to
remove "his secretaries" or any officer OF
whom he has the appointment, at will and
for any cause. In the way of argument,
the document is Of little force,-its positions
have been too often refuted. Such as il
is, our readers can see it; we have forced out
other matter to make room for it On the
whole, it is novel and strange document,
and yet there is nothing new or strange
about it, but the fact that such a thing,
from such source, and for such a cause
has appeared in the world Mr.. Leigh calls
it declaration of war, revolutionary
document, an appeal to the people to rally
Viewed in that light, its peroration is inlm-
liable; even Antony, with the aid of the
rent robe and bleeding wounds of Caesar,
dumb mouths to speak for him, could not
equal it.
Vandalia Whig and Illinois intelligencer. [volume] (Vandalia, Ill.) 1832-183?, 1834-05-08

The editor of the News has undertaken
to clear away the imposing obstacles he
assisted in rearing between Mr.. Kinney
and his election at the last canvass for
governor. "Hic labor, hoe opus est" The
ne,0 task of the editor is truly one that
Hercules mi ght covet; and bears much re-
semblance to the exploits of that ancient
hero, except that, though the Augean stalls
are there, in all their length, breadth and
flthiness, the arm of Hercules and the
cleansing stream, are wanting. Mr.. Brooks
cannot promise himself much success;
there is too much truth in his assertions Of
1880, to be forgotten in 1884.
