Mr.. Wardweli remarked that, in his opinion, if
there ever was humbug, this was emphatca!lv
one and he hoped the House would at once reject
the bill. What are the facts attending this most
singular application Several gentlemen have
purchased a farm at the south end of tic Long
Bridge, over the Potomac, in this District. Their
ostenslble object is TO build city but, in my o.
pnon, the real object is TO make money out Of it
at the expense Of the community. Should We in
corporate this company, what will be the consc.
quence The lots will be advertised IN New
York, and every city III the Union. They will be
sold at large price. The company viii pocket

This will be the result of this humbug.
nlr. Peyton said he regretted to see to what
purposes and uses "Me party" were appropriating
the Presidents name. Not content with making
use ofhis name as matter OF political Spscu'qtioH
by which they were attempting to appropriate 10
themselves all the offices in the Government, thew
were now asking the sanction ofthis House to use
ii as a matter OF pccuniary speculation am op-
posed to this, Mr.. Speaker. | do not wish to see
General Jackson's name identified with the boys
and swamps ofthe Potomac, and banded about as
an article of merchandise. What and where is
jackson City 1t is like the Georgian's land in
the Western District of Tennessee He had been
out to examine into its situation and value. On
his return, his friends were anxious to know ii it
was pr0ductire He said it certainly was ; that no
thought the whole GAO acres would, upon an aver.
age, produce 90 bushels of frogs TO the acre, and
aihgdtOrS enough to fence it. And sir u few spec
ulators from New y ork ask us to Identity, by law,
these bui'-trogs of Jackson City with the name of
the President, that they may the more easily I'M
pose upon the creduous. They ask Us TO aid them
in selling them out at thousand dollars apiece,
in the name Of Gen. Jackson. Sir, is it not enough
that they should appropriate his military fame,
those laurels which he won in the field, his VASE
popularity and political influence, to their political
purposes? Shall they incorporate and sell his
name throughout the country in market as a city
am opposed to their applying Gen. Jackson's
name to all sorts of uses.
