PROSCRIPTlVE SPIRIT OF THE
DEMOCRATIC ADMIN / S STRA-
TIONS COMPARED WITH THE
. PRESENT..

hLoLLN
In giving the history 6fthe charges in
the head ofthe first Bureau of the State
Department yesterday, we omitted Mr.
Vail, who Immediately succeeded Mr..
Dickens. Mr.. Wallis promotion a1ords
another instance of Gen Jackson's liber-
ality to worthy men, opposed to his adj
vancement to the Chief Magistracy. Mr.,
Vail was the protege of a prominent rival
and personal enemy of Gen. Jackson, Mr..
Crawford He retained Office through
out the Administration Of Mr.. Adams
was continued in employment by General
Jackson, and prompted afterwards assoc
re tary of Legation to the London mission
and finally made charge, on the return OF
Mr.. Van Buren. On the election oil Mr.,
Dickens to the Secretaryship of the State
Mr.. Vail having returned to the United
States, was appointed TO the first clerk
ship thus vacated in the Department Of
State. From this post, Mr.. Vail was ad-
vanced to the Spanish mission, and was
succeeded by DR.. Martin in the State
Department.
The three gentlemen ,then,who preceded
Dr.. Martin in the first clerkship of the
State Department, Mr.. Brent, Mr.. Dick
ems, and Mr.. Vail. are standing witnesses
of the tolerant spirit Of Gen. Jackson, ,and
those who administered the Department
under him. Not one Of these persons
we're original friends ofGen. Jackson,yet
all of them were not ouly tolerated, but
advanced by him and bis friends.
Mr.. Webster's commission was not
made out before his son was inducted in
to the Office OF DR.. Martin, and installed
as "under Secretary Estate" before the
upper Secretary was fairly in himself
And after DR.. Martin had actually receIv-
ed his dismisson, as acting Secretary of
State, he was necessarily reinstated for a
moment, that he might sign Mr.. Web
ster's commission, and confer on him lie.

" fonnd to be forbearing. We expected
from Mr.. Webster. moderation and gener'
osity in the exercise of his power as a
leadiug member OF the Administration,
not from his protestations against pros
cription before the election, (tor he new
er kept his word,) but from the consider
alton that an elevated intellect could not
descend to petty, grovelling tyranny,mlx-
ed with sel6shness.

to such a cOnrse the veteran Richie, of
the Richmond Enquirer, has the following
remarks:-
SHIRKING THE RESPONSIBILITY!
Several Of the Washington scribblers
have written, that the acting President
does not mean to recommend any meas
ure Of fnance, but will either leave it to
his Secretary ofthe Treasury to prepare
a plan, or TO Congress Itself We con-
tend, upon the plain letter Of the Consti-
tuition, that this would be direct evasion
of his Executive duties. Hear how en-
phalic the requislion is:
"He shall, from time, 10 time, give to
the Congress information of the State of
The Union, and recommend TO their con-
sideration such measures as he shall
judge necessary and expedent," &c.
. Here then appears no doubt, about the
duty imposed upon him. He shall "re-
commend" sc. Words cannot be more
distinct. But 10 show how carefully
they we're selected for the express pur.
pose, we lay before our readers the fol
lowing extract from "The Madison Pa
perS"-page l ,422, volume third:
"On motion of Mr.. GOuverneur Morris,
she may" was struck out, and "GRd" in
serted before "recommend," in the Sc =
cond clause of article second, section, in
order to make it the duty of the Presid-
ent to recommend, and thence prevent
umbrage or cavil at his doing it,"
Mr.. Tyler, then, will please to recol-
lect, that it is not he may, but shall re-
commend.

A CHINESE OPlUM-SMOKING-
SHOP.

One Of the objects ofthis place, (SIng-
apore } that I had the curiosity TO visit,
was the opium-smoker in his heaven, and
certainly it is a most fearful sight, although
perhaps not so degrading 10 the eyes as
the drunkard from spirits, lowered to the
level Of the brute and wallowing in his
filth. The idiot smile and deah-like
stupor, however, of the opium cebauchee
has something far more awful to the gaze
than the bestialiiy Of the latter. One Of
the streets in the centre Of The town is
wholly devoted to the shops for the sale
of this poison; and here in the evening
may be seen, after the labors Of The day
are over, crowds of Chinese, who seek
these places TO satisfy their depraved ap.
petites. The rooms where they sit snd
smoke are surrounded by wooden couch
es, with places for the head TO rest upon,
and generally side-room is devoted to
gambling. The pipe Is a reed of about
an inch in diameter, and the aperture
in the bowl for the admission Of the npi.
um is not larger than pins head. The
drug is prepared with sume kind of con-
serve, and very small portion is sufi-
cient TO charge it; one or two whilfs being
the utmost that can be inhaled from a
single pipe, and the smoke is taken into
the lungs as from the hook all in India -
On beginner, QUE or two pipes will have
an effect; but an OLD stager will continue
smoking for hours. "A the head of each
couch is placed small lamp, as fire must
be held to the drug during the process ot
nhaling; and from the difficulty of fill
ing and properly lighting the pipe, there
is geneajly person who waits upon the
smoker TO perform the office, A few
days of this fearful luxury, when taken to
excess, will give a paIIid and haggard
look 10 the face, and few months, OF
even weeks, will change the strong and
healthy man into little be tier than an idi.
OF skeleton. The pain they suffer when
deprived. of the drug, after long habit, no
language can explain; and it is only wbon
to certain degree under its influence,
that their faculties are alive. lu the
houses devoted 10 their ruin, these infat-
uated people may be seen at nine O'Clock
in the evening in all the different stages
some entering half distracted to feed the
craving appetite they had been obliged to
subdue during the day; others laughing
and talking wildly under the effects Of a
first pipe; whilst the couches around are
filed with their different occupants, who
lie languid with an idiot smile upon their
countenance, too much under the inau-
ence OF the drug TO care for passing events
and fast merging to the wished-ior-con,
summation. The last scene inthis tragic
play is generally a room in The rear ofthe
building, species of dead-house, where
lie stretched those who have passed into
the state of bliss the opium smoker madly
seeks-an Smblem of the long sleep to
which he is blindly hurrying Sir months

la pursuance Of the proclamation of tho
President Of the Uuited States, the Sen

order by Mr. Southard, the President pre-
tempOre.
I Air. Mangum moved that the Secretary
call over the names Of the Senators, so that
It might be ascertainsd whether a quorum
was present.
Mr.. King said that the usual mode Of
/ proceeding was for the presiding officer
TO direct rheSergeant-at-Arms to ascertain
whether quorum was present
The suggestion of Mr.. K. being acqur.
esced in the Sergeant--at Arms re-
ported that quorum Of the Senate was
present.
On motion by Mr.. Bayard, il was
ResoEyed, That message be sent to
The House of Representatives, informing
that body hat quorum of the Senate is

lhree such newspapers printed in any of
the States es he may choose; provided the
same be furnished at the usual rate for
the annual charge for such newspapers;
aud provided that, if any Senator shalt
choose to take any newspaper other than

many such papers as shall not exceed the
price OF three daily papers.
On motion by AIr. White, the SEN

The Senate resumed its sitting at ten
minutes before 3 o'clock.
MIR. Clay of Kentucky said, that he
believed the object of the recess was to
afford an opportunity for the organization
of the other house, so that a joint COM

President. AS it was now probable the
organization Of the other House would
not be complete till later hOur,he would

THE EXTRA SESSION..

Next Monday is the day fixed for Con
gress to meet upon the extraordinary call
ofthe President, to do-nobody knows
what. We rejoice in the event for sever
al reasons, principly, however, in the pros
pect that the 'delusion" under which the
FederaIists have so long kept up the
hopes of the community that if the power
was given into their hands, they would
provide a remedy for every evil the peo-
pie had to encounter, must now pass a.
way--,he expectations of Confding peo-
pie satisfied, orthe imposition of a set of
heariless demagogues exposed. They
will have the entire control Of every
measure introduced, and consequently
cannot delay action any longer. They
have arrived at a limit Of their own~pres-
cribing. "All expectation" says a CO.
temporary, "has .centered on its measures,
as the grand panacea for the maladies of
the nation"
Numerous surmises are afoat as to tho
probable character of the message the ac-
ting President may transmit to Congress.
Certain different influences attach to it
different characters; and as it is not ex.
actly known which of these influences
will prevail, il is difficult TO tell what it
may be like. If it was certain that be
would embody his own former principles
in the document, one might speculate with
tolerable accuracy as to It's contents. If,
however, it should come as a cd6tent coun
Gil production, the opposition fits con-
tents runs directly the,reverse. Between
the alternative thus presented to Mr..
TYLER, It's stated by some, he will aim
for a neutral course and avoid recommen.
ding any measure; but, we epine, he will

we'll as constitutional duty. In relation
