THE GLOBE AND GENERAL, CRARy

Inc Globe, of Tuesday evening, has para
ded before lis readers, the speech of General
Crary OF Michigan, against General Harrison
delivered in the House of Representatives
some time ago, and for which he received a,
the time, from Mr. Goode and Mr.. Corwin Of
Ohio, such chastiscment rs he deserved
We scarcely supposed that the organ of Mr..
Van Buren, would have published that vile
production, much less that it would have en-
dorsed such a libel, not only on his opposing
candidate, but on as brave and honorable men
as this nation ever produced. The principal
object of the speech was to assal the military
reputation OF General Harrison, and had he
been the only person libelled, we should not
have thought 1t worth our attention, as Gene
raj Harrison's reputation is beyond the reach
of the missiles used by such men as General
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1840-03-21

Crary. Our purpose is to let Gen. Crary and
his endorser speak to the people through an
extract from the speech so highly exiollsd by
the Globe. We make the following quota
lion
81 am aware sir, that my remarks initiate
against hundreds Of certificates that have been pro-
duced 10 prove General Harrison an able command
err these certificates are enlitledto consideration
But Il Is to be recolleced that the great majority Of
them were given by OFFICERS over whom the Gene
raj had AUTHORITY they the evidence OF witness
es under pUaEss and are 10 be received AT LEAST with
caution"
We ask the witnesses living and the friends
OF the glorious dead, who have borne lasting
evidence in favor Of General Harrison TO read
the above extract, which is endorsed by the
organ OF the administration. What is the
charge made against the brave men who
served their country under General Harrison!
Why, that through FEAR, " under DuREss,"
they certified to falsehoods to benefit General
Harrison, and that their statements should be
received "AT LEAST WITH CAUTION 2" What
say COL Johnson, Col. Croghan, Gen. Cass.
and the other illustrious living Witnesses Z
What would the brave dead say, could they
put forth and endorsed by the organ of the
administration Who can longer doubt, but
that the administration and its organs, would
sacrifice the angels, were it possible, to their
desperate purposes Of holding on to the spoils
of office.

had been sold in Tennessee, where Il had been
placed on deposile, and for that they did receive
Tennessee bank paper, which WAS below the par of
the Georgia bank paper. The Tennessee troops, as
the chairman OF The Military Committee (Mr. Cave
Johnson) informed him this morning were paid in
Treasury noles--troops, too, employed in the very
same service. Let gentlemen 60 on and pass their
Subtreasury bill but in the name oflruIh OF fairness
OF deeency, let them speak of measure OF this kind
as one that is calculated 10 diminish the patronage
and power OF this Government.

DEATH.

At Browns Hotel, in this city, on tuesday evening
last, Mr.. NATHANIEL RAY THOMAS, Of Marsh
held, Mass aged 81 years.
This amisble aud estimabe young gentleman arrived
N this city four or five weeks ago, his way the
Western country. Being detained here some time by
business, he taken sick OF fever from which he
was thought to have lar recovered that, Monday
morning. the 9th he regarded essentially out Of
danger Ia the afternoon of that day. however, his
disease took uniavoabe turn and he survived only
until the evening Of the day Possessing excel
lent principles, aud great purity Of character, good
sense, cheerful temper and the amahle manners,
his death will produce deep throughout the cir
Gle oil his friends and connexions Though far distant
from that circle, he found here aeconate friends who
anxously watched the whole progress Of his illness,
aud saw that nothing omitted which professional
skill and The most a.siduous attentions could do ar
rest ITS progress or mitigate the pains Of the sufferer
The melancholy notice will be read by many with eyes
full Of tears and hearts full Of anguish But let them
remember that this corruptble must put inconup-
tion and this mortal must put on Immortality MAJ.
Int b.
This young gentleman belonged to family resi-
ding near Mr.. Webser's farm in Marshfeld and
! that gentemans absence from the Senate for some
days past, is attributable TO the DEVOTION which he
felt his duty 10 pay to his sick and dying young
friend at SO great distance from his family.
| We may be permitted to add that the scenes Of
inns DEAN pea were OF very aHecllnS CHARACTER,
and feel that in abiding to Them we sha Il be doing
scarcely justice that great goodness Of heart which
is only equaled by the universally acknowledged
greatness Of The intellect of Mr.. WEBSTER. Our ex-
perience, renders doubly poignant those sympathetic
emotions which we can neither resist feeling or ex-
pressing in view Of the suferings Of this youth and
the affecting tenderness and devotion of his dsin.
| guished friend Days and nights, almost without
interruption, we are informed by friend who was
frequently present, Mr.. Webster hung over his
uneasy pillow, and with all the aifectionae kindness
of father soothed his pangs and queted the mental
excitement with which he was afflicted. He did moi
stand by others attend but himself engaged in
the office of principal nurse; and it was evident,
that while the disturbed mind of the sufferer was
unable to recognize other Friends the kind voice and
minisiering hand Of MIR. Webster were always
gratefully recognized by the dying youth and often
! an approaching paroxism Of insanity and convul-
sion was alleviated or prevented by his embracing
! him, and kissing his burning cheek.

TREASURY NOTES.
Mr. WEBSTER offered the following resolution
Resolved That the Secretary Of the Treasury INFORM
the Senate what proportion Of Treasury notes, issued
under the authority OF the act OF October II, 1881 and
subsequent acts has been paid to public creditors q me
United States In discharge Of their claims, ana "hat
proportlon has been used Tor the purpose OF borrowing
money from banks aud individuals together with state
ment Of the of interest borne by the notes OF me
several issues respectively. And that he also INFORM
the Senate whether Treasury notes, bearing interest,
have deposited in banks for the purpose OF raising
credit to be drawn against by the Treasury depart
mcnt if any such dep0sltes have been made to state
the dates aud thereof and the dates and sums
Of the drafts made thereon.
Mr.. Clay, Of Alabama, having objected to the reso-
luton being considered at this time, it lies over,
Mr. BENTON asked for the printing Of certain state
ments from the Mint in England, shoa wing how much
bullion had been coined within a certain number of
years. They would show, he said, that the amount
OF specie actually existing was far greater than was
imagined and he wished the statements be printed
along with certain reports communicated by The
Treasury Department.
Mr. WEBSTER said he had no objection TO the
printing but the object OF the Senator would not be
accomplished unless he also showed what amount
OF coin had been melted down, and consumed for
different purposes, or destroyed and lost within the
same lime. II was well known hat large amount
OF coin is annually used up in various ways.
The statements, however, ordered TO be
printed.

Sir have Just read Mr. Rves last letter, publish

self trouble to proclaim to the world his preference
of Harrison to Van Buren,; person doubted that.
But why did not Mr. Rivcs out before, whilst the
Senatorial election pending before the Legislature
Why were efforts made by his friends with his
renee, to induce some of the honrs Conservatives to
vote for him: Why play this double game: Mr. Rivcs
bases (hs says his preference for HARRISON the
ground that he is the true Republican candidate This
subtrrfuge is too shallow 10 deceive any in the
Commonwealth. 1t may cloak to cover
his roward and disappointed ambition, in his
tnaon, but il is too thin for the strong eyes of honest
men Mr.. Rives need give himself no trouble about
declaring who is who is not the Republican candi-
date His letter displays too much ignorance Of the
facts or anxious disposition to pervert them to
ent,le him to the distinction of Sir Oracle.
The Federaliss the only friends he has here; the
Republicans rarely speak Of him, except TO point
the finger OF scorn at the DcScrter.

EXTRACT Of a Letter from a former member Of Con
grcss dated Patrick county, February 10, 10 Senn
| tor Of Virginia.
81 have noticed the proceedings in Legislature
and in Congress with little intercs-and sorry
to be compelled to saw that tho latter has done nothing
yet worthy Of the country. The bareiaccd attempt
of the Wing members TO force upon the House the \
Jersey Wing claimants without investigation, and with
an admitted majority of the people of New Jersey
against them, will be long remembered by The people OF
tins country TO the prejudice Of that party.
81 delighted with the Presidents Message
and almost converted to his view of the Treasury
question never opposed that measure on the ground
that il fraught with danger to the liberties of the
People. simply opposed It on the ground that it was
less safe and more expensive mode of keeping the
public money. ! was never in favor OF the General
Deposite system, with the State Banks always ad-
voca.cd Special Deposilc System, which, if practi-
cable, is, my opinion the best Both parties, how
ever think impracticahlc: and there to be
chance of obtaining majority in its favor. My OBJ
cctions to the General Depositc System, have been
much strengthened, by the last suspensions; and be-
tween that system a United States Bank on the one
hand and an Independent Treasury Bank, the
other, | should not hesitate TO choose the latter.
81 have seen the result of the two first days ballot
ing for United States Senator. You have close work
| cannot conceive how any men who call themselves
friends Of the Administration and in favor of the
election of Mr.. Van Buren, can vote for Mr. Rives
who is not only the Wing candidate, bnt has avowed
himself in favor Of Gen Harrison, and rcioces at the
success of the Wings in New York. Those gentle.
men, it seems to me, should do one of two things
They should either abandon Rivcs or throw off the
mask at once and join the Wing ranks. You know
that a great admIrcr of MIR. Rlves, and would
not rive him up long there hope of retain
ng him in our party. | convinced last Spring
uhongh not bciore that he off, and from that time
have looked upon him an Opposition man.
"Therc is decided majority of Administration men
in this county, though It is represented by Wing;
next Spring the matter will be put right.
