MI Clay, copied INTO The subloined paragraph
from The MadIsonIan. We commend it 10 the
courier and others, who may be disposed to
use the influence OF that great Patriots name
TO break down the principles which il las been
the great business Of his life to cherish and
{ ustain:
The amendment Of Mr. Rives has been
larry rejected. large majority of the Wbio
party IN the senate have deliberately examin.
cd the question, and the bill of the Committee
Is preferred. All the friends of the Admnstra-
ton have so far discharged their duty accord
ing TO their honest judgments. We are now
OF the opinion that the bill as perfected by our
iren Is in the Senate win have it's course. Let
II be considered and discussed in both branches
OF Congress IN that spirit of freedom and indie
pendence which belongs TO representatives of
the people. Let Congress discharge lis DUTY
u % assec and unembarrassed by the authority
OF any other department Of the Government.
That It will pass bill we do not doubt. And
we adopt the sound and patriotic language of
the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, and |
say, sour true course is, to mature the meas
ure, according to all the lights of our UNDER
standing, and to the liberal dictates of our best |
judgments; and transmit il as perfect 10 our
consciences, we can make It, Ito the coordinate
branch o. the Government. Upon receiving
It, his duties his responsibility, his rights will |
accrue; and, among them, the most precious is,
That OF examining the measure with all the |
freedom and independence which belong to his |
high station.
"Let us hope for concurrence between the |
two departments Of Government but, If there /
should not be, their disagreement will not be
the greatest Of public caamities-a greater
would be voluntary surrender Of sacrifice of
the conscientious judgment aud constitutional
independence ofthe one to the other. r. after
both have acted, there should be anv develon. |
ment Of difference Of opinion between them.
the exact point Of difference will be seen: and
then, in a spirit Of mutual hberalitv and con-
cession, some measure may possibly be devised
which will obviate all difficulties"
