! Of the Bill by the Senate,) to cast Odium up-
on the Senate. He accused the President Of
! playing a double part, because he dare not
let the people know what he intended to do.
He dare not inform any Patriot Of his inten-
ito rs, but employed his tools and creatures in
order TO deceive the people. No patriot, he
repeated in the most bitter sarcasm, would
do, eyeing Polk, Cambreleng and BeardsIey,
whom he meant by the ''tOOls and creatures
Of the Executive" The public monies he
said, now days, were squandered. wasted,
destroyed by the Executive and the party,
and said Mr.. w., il had known that the u.s..
100000 appropriation bill was the Presidents
bill. to be expended at his discretion, and to be
used when, and for what purpose he thought
proper; if had known this, said Mr.. w. /
would have sooner stOrmed the Presidents
house, or stood in the face Of all the ordnance
the s., ZOO, 900 could purchase. than have voted
for the appropriation Bill as he did. Again he
pounced upon the Speaker, telling him that
he was not only the instrument Of intrigue,
but an intriguer himself, who had come into
the House last session to inform some Of the
| friends Of the party what were the views Of
the Executive, and told them that they mus.
not inform others of the secret. "Oh, how
hate such servile, mean despOtisn, such Sc
crct submission to power" five are to have
despOtism. for Gods sake let us know it,
Don't keep us in the dark. IL the sword is to
be swayed, in the name Of Heaven inform US,
| and will take the Swings of the morning
and fly into the uttermost parts Of the earth"
! The Navy Department., said Mr.. w., has
already cost the nation upwards Of $e5, OOO,-
900, and yet il would now cost the nation
,S22. 600. 900. to rank with the French navy,
and vet the President is upon his war horse,
L., hnh e
| I will not vote for any man to be President of
the u. States who will appoint bachelor to
office-an old bachelor is like withered fig-
! tree, and too nearly allied to an old maid, to
hold an office under the government.
A rap upon the Executive followed the at
tack upon bachelors, 1.-THE bachelor meant
Dickerson of the Navy Department. and
still heavier attack upon Van Buren,, who, he
said, was very good to follow 10 the footsteps
of another, but miserable fellow to lead the
way. The Deposite question was alluded to,
in which Van Buren,, he said, trembled from
his hair to his heels.
War came next. This, he said, depended
entirely upon one man. The Senate can't
stand every thing-nolens volems. The Pres
ident has enough to do, his bidding to fight
when he tells them. and to keep still when he
tells them. Upon him, then, depends the
question Of peace or war.
The u. S. Senate next received a vind;ca-
ton, and John @. Adams for his strange con-
duct on the French question. a severe rebuke.
j. @. Adams asked the floor to explain.
which he did, unburdening his soul Of small
part of the malice which was yesterday
lodged there. and unIodsed in part against
| Daniel Webster.
| The rebnke, however, was one that will not
soon be forgotten, implying that his remarks
were intended to apply to Mr.. Webster, and
not upon those whose opinions correspondent
with Mr.. Adams. The war, he said, was
now shown to be Massachusetts war, and
! he was glad it was confined to Massachusetts.
The Conference Committee, on the part of
the House, were then stormed-Mr. Cambre-
leng receiving new shot for playing the SER
vile part he did the last night of the session.
The party would juggle the people out of
their rights and out of their character. and
tine chairman of the Committee Of Ways and
Means Mr.. Cambreleng) would be one of
the prime actors.
The President of the United States came
10 for another blow, whom he accused Thy
susPicion) Of calling the Senate I'D
scoundreIs" because they would not pass the
appropriation Bill of $S.OOO,OOO and confirm
his darling fancy for Chief Justice.
The Executive he said had nterfered with
the business of the House, had played pow
erful part with the party faction who were in
the House. He knew it. He could prove it.
He would lay down his life upon the truth of
it. The Bill was lost in consequence Of ex.
ecutive interference and by the party faction
in the House. 1t was Gods truth. and he
believed it now and should to the day of his
death.
Mr.. Cambreleng then followed in the wake
of Wise's speech. just as the hands of the
clock passed the hour of Q, making then near
" four hours in the length Of the speech
From my very soul pitied the poor fellow,
wr'th'"g as he was under the repetition Of
truths wh'cs were being proved to his present
ana everlasting infamy. For three hours to-
Gay and nearly two yesterday, he has been

color. receiving the finger Of scorn. and laugh
ed AT IN consequence Of the ridiculous and
wicked part which he now takes, and for the
time past he has taken ia the ranks Of the
present Administration.
Mr.. Wise wound up the longest speech in
the House this Session, by accusing Mr.. Ad-
ans Of injustice, inconsistency. Of mistaken
notions. The House of Representatives, said
M. w. in conclusion, should not be the slave
of the Executive. Would to God there were
no minions Of the President. and then might
our country hope for salvation.
Mr.. Cambreleng obtained the floor as soon
as it was left by Mr.. Wise. After some re-
marks OF what he intended to do-which was
to kill Mr.. Webster, he motioned to adjourn,
closing his remarks with the oft repeated quo
tatlon from Shakespeare" Let the CALLED
jade vince our withers are unwrung," from
which you may Judge what is to come, and
the manner in which il will he snoken.
