Mr.. PEYToN's SaEEcH.-The following
Observation-Disclosures Is ron the late speech
of M. Peyton on Mr.. Wse's resolution of
inquiry:
"But the gentleman from Rhode Island
calls upon as to take "the bull by the
horns" "to move an impeachment against
the President at once'-says that che is
accountable for the acts Of his ministers.
and any attack upon them is in effect an
impeachment Of him" This is strange
doctrine to me, sir. We wish TO rome
these calves, and drag them pleading as
they go from the Treasury, for they have
heon sucking too long already; and the
gentleman says no take the bull by the
lofns.' Move. an impeachment against
the President, indeed! He accountable
cr'n7inaIly accountable, for the want or in.
ttegrlty on the part of his ministers! Was
mere ever any thing more impudent than
'hlsf Because Gen. Jackson is an honest
man, does it follow that Amos Kendall
ana all the other "hirelngs" as he calls
them, are honest? This Sir, is the doc
trIne OF the party-the doctrine of men
NJ whose hands the government of the
country has fallen. But, sir, the gentle
man, IN thus shutting himself under the !
mantle of the President. bnt '
displays the usual tact of the marty ~ !;
winch " he belongs. They are all patriots g,
II the president be an honest man! Sir =
let me Put case in common life to illus. :,
Irate this doctrine; one which every far. g
