UNIFORM BANKRUPT LAW.


The speech of Mr.. WEBSTER yesterday, on
this great measure Of enlightened benevoence,
and, we will add, Of true patriotism, will be
classed with the noblest productions of his ge-
MUS. The galleries were filled to OVERLOOKING
at an early hour with a most respectable and
brilliant assemblage and all the privileged
places on the floor were occupied. Seldom has
the great defender Of the Constitution displayed
his commanding faculties of argument with
greater effect than he did in demonstrating the
power of Congress to pass uniform bankrupt
law TO be express-general, and without lmita-
ton: in replying to the objections that have been
urged against the bill of the majority of the Ju-
dietary Committee, by Mr.. Wall and others
and in contending against the perncous mea-
sure which they have proposed as substitute
for that bill
Mr.. WEBSTER concluded with a most impress
sive and eloquent appeal in behalf Of the thou
sands now suffering for want of such law as
he advocated, which, we trust, will not be with
out its effect in persuading Senators and Re
representatives., without distinction of party, to
unite in granting to the country the relief the
graduation, and the solid happiness which will
attend thepassage of this bill.

The CORRUPTION FUND OF THE FEDE-

The secret circular, which we subjoin, bear

which the Office holders and their pensioned
journalists, have been endeavoring to get up
against the opposition, by fabricating stories
about ''central clubs" the abuse of the frank

falsely made against the Opposition, are actu-

" The Jersey Case has had its day"

Globe Of 18th instant
Has the Globe seen the affidavit and counter
affidavit Of the loco-foco clerk Of Monmouth,
who was made a tool of by loco-foco conspirators
against the fame of Gov. Pennington Has it
seen that Gov. Vroom was a quiet witness TO a
lie stated on the floor of Congress BY his own
friends, who permitted it to go uncorrected, al
though he knew it was lie at the time, as now
proved by the affidavit of his own friend2 Does
the Globe remember that with view of i'm
pairing the integrity of Gov Pennington, the
Monmouth clerk swore he (the Governor) sent
for the returns of the election before he was ari-
thorized to do so by law2 And has the Globe
learnt that, although this testimony was used by
its friends in their denunciatory speeches in
Congress, there was not word Of truth in it.,
as the author Of the story himself has since tes-
tilted. Has the Globe learnt that its friends in
their hard and hasty swearing have q mistaken"
one year for another, and the list of nominal
tons before the election, for the "returns of
the election" after ? II the Globe has not heard
of these things, we will help it to the afiidavits
as soon as we have room, whereby it will learn
that loco-foco federal falschood has had its day
in New Jersey.

MOVEMENTS, CHANGES, AND so ON.

We stated the other day, under the head of ru-
mours, that some sixty or seventy Loco Foco Fedc-
raj members of Congress, had pctitioned the Presi
dent for The removal of the Secretary of the Navy
We have since been assured by member Of the Ad-
mnistraton party that the rumor fact, and that
the President entrcated them take back their pcti
ton The Secretary seems TO be unpopular with both
parties.
Gen, Armstrong having declined the appointment
TO the Office of Post Master General, Mr.. Niles, OF
Connecticut has been nominated instead, and was
Yesterday, confirmed by the Senate. We shall look
for further changes on this very account. Long
seated and poorly thought Of the Secretary of the
Treasury is, by many Of the Administration
party and although the President has lacked the mo-
raj courage to rid his Cabinet of him heretofore, yet
now cannot well conceive how affairs to be
prosecuted tremendously with two members Of the
Cabinet from New England, one from New York, one
from Pennsylvania, and two from South Atlantic
States leaving the interior and great West and the
Southwest, unreprescntcd.
We have been informed that Mr. CAMBnELEHG has
been appointed to the Court Of Russia. With what
beautiful consistency these appointments of rejected
members Of Congress tally with the doctrine of the

FOR THE MADisoNIAN.

Mr. ALLEN III am a constant reader Of the Globe,
and occasionally look into the Madisonian Some
weeks ago ! saw in the latter paper account
of an election for Governor Legislature SC in the
State of Rhode Island and it stated the Wing
candidate for Governor elected by majority of
l,409 could not believe this story, upon such au
hority, and still suppose you have made some great
mistake. turned over the pages Of the Globe, and
carefully run its columns, tracing them up and
down with my finger, but not word can find of any
election in Rhode Island recently. Please examine
whether you have not mislead your readers by pub
fishing an account of some old affair. know that
the Globe alodys tells the TRUTH and therefore
trust to your account until that veracious print con-
firms it.
You tell us also that Bedford County, in Pennsyl-
wanna is Wing by 628 majority. But the Globe is
silent Do request friend Blair to speak out and re-

full report was made that morning by the Secretary

We publish the above as specimen Of the
habitual Justification Of Congressional proceed
ings and incidents, by the Government Press
here, in Richmond, and elsewhere The '.scene''
was got up by Mr.. BENTON himself who, find
ing the galleries filed TO OVERLOOKING with mem
bers of the two Conventions, eagerly seized the
occasion TO speak defence Of the Administra-
ton, which he brought ready written, cut and
dy,-and which was probably already in type
at the Globe Office, ready TO go into that dirty
sheet" The opposition Senators could not
have anticipated the subject; for the Report Of
the Secretary had just been communicated, and
BENTON, HUBBARD, BRowN BUCHANAN, and
their associates were knew any thing OF the
contents. II had been neither read nor printed.
Benton sought to make display of his fustian
defamation, and to bewilder the people in the
galleries at the same time with tables, and addi-
tons and subtractions, and multiplications. But
never was there more complete or more mani
fest failure. The attempts Of the Secretary and
his Senatorial advocate, to throw off the weight
Of censure which the people have Piled upon the
Administration for its extravaganza and prodi-
galty, were met with energy and promptness by
Messrs. PRESTON, Southland, WEBSTER, and
CLAY, who demonstrated from official state
ments of the Treasury the truth of the immense
and appalling increase of expenditures and
convicted the Administration out of its own
mouth. There was but one impression made
on the vast majority of the assemblage, lit was
that Mr.. BENTON and his associates, in their at
tempted parade, had met with most signal and
decisive discontinue.

Had better by far have stood still and been kissed
Than been shouldered about through the newspapers

And all but for refusing poor Christy buss.
But villain named Top, who came up with a hop,
Had more right than poor Twist to be sent to the shop
For had he been there in poor Christophers path
II is likely Miss Hannah had cooled in her wrath,
And surrendered her lips to the terrible kiss,
Which has made such hubbub, nor thought it anlss
For then She have had sweet buss don't doubt it,
And no jinging jack to be singing about it.

That you'd had enough of Miss Hannah McGhrist,
You failed in your kissing endeavor, cause Wy
She wouldn't be still when old Top nigh;
But if you'd have been aught else but Tout
You'd have twisted her mouth before she cried out.
