has encouraged the resistance Of tho Indians to
the policy of the government, and stimulated the
feeling which led to the bulchery OF SO many gal
| liant men, The exhaustion Ct the public Treasury,
| and the rum Of the Indians whose cause he pre-
tended to cspouse. II is on this dishonest, frau
dulent Engli,hman, that moto than million oil
| the public money has been layishod from the first
to the last And yet my colleague, Mr.. Bond,
and the patty with which he is associated, think
hun poorly compensated.
Mr. Chairman, think have said, perhaps
moro than once, that there are existing abuses;
and for reasons which have given, abuses will
exist. But if'hoso who administer this govern
mcnl was as pure as the angels that minister in
Heaven there would be lean, lank. hungry, I'M
plinepled hyenas 10 howl round this Capitol, with
appotics prepared not only to devour the reputa-
ton of those who i've to administer the govern
mcnt but the grave itself would be insufficient to
secure the dead from their blghilng and whitening
howl.
NV colleague has finished his speech with 4
case from the Old Testament Scriptures, illusra-
tive, as he supposcs Of the corruptlng 1niucnco
Of power upon tho Democratic party; the total
want of analogy between which in some Of its
strongest POINTS may be early perceived; for
while Ila2acl came to tho throne by tho murder
of his master, that is, lhroagh blood and crime,
the present and past Administrations came into
power moi by crime and blood, but by the SUI
Gpgcs of a FREQ and independent people; and by
the same operation which brought these Admins
tfatons into power, was corrupt and usurped
Administration politically throtted, and lis cor
upt workers of inquiiy thrown into the mud. But.
Sir, to the ScrIpural case. | shall close my re-
marks by reference OF a case from The samo
high authority Sir, the course Of tho party Mt
present out Of power--but earnestly desiring and
sparlng NJ pains, labor OF expense, 10 get into
poSer--rcmnds mo, and may fcrnlnd the coun-
try forclbly, Of The case Of the unfortunate Absa-
lon. | refer not to his contrying the death OF
Amn0n, not his forming conspiracy with Ahitho-
phcI against tie Administration Of tho government
but 10 his ambition, and the means no used with
the people 10 carry his designs. Being suffered
to return from hls banlshment into the neghbor-
hood Of the throne, he Piled his political wlles with
the unsuspcctng people alleging that justice was
moi done thcm promising that If he was put into
office that things should be mnde better Thus
speaking and formin. party against tho govern
men wc are told that Absaom rose up early, and
stood beside The way of the gate, and lany mar
had a controversy, and came TO the king for iudg-
mcn then Absalom said "The matters are good
and right but there Is no man deputed of the king
to hear thee. q that we're made Judge in the
land Ma, every man which hath a SUIT or cause
might come unto mo, and would do him us
tee" And il was so that when any man came
nigh to him TO do HIM obesancc, he put forth he
hand and took him ind kissed him. So Absalom
stole the hearts Of tho men Of lsrcal. lie sent
Spies throughout the iaud political missionanes1
10 all tie tribes Of ISRAEL, and under pretcnee Of
picty towards God he left Jerusalem for Hebron
\ where he was to set Up his Authority. But ere
