Chair, and countenanced the whole proceedings.
In this instance, (which we select because
il is peculiarly notable, and because the. arbiua-
ry course Of the majority was singularly dis
played therein, as no man could be found to
urge the slightest objection to Mr.. Crittenden,
on the score Of fitness, the friends of President
Van Buren, anticipated their power by three
months, and factiously refused to discharge the
duty imposed on them by the Constitution to
fill an office deemed accessory for the ends of
justice, and the general interest of the country.
AS they then anticipated the exercise of their
power, they are now, we understand, contriving
by different devices and tricks, to proIong their
patronage, and continue to their favorites and
creatures, for more or less Of the period of the
next four years, the emoluments, and party adj
vantages which official place can bestow One
plan to accomplish this object is by REsIGNA-
TIoNs. Certain offce-holders, whose terms are
to expire soon after Gen. Harrison's Inaugural
ton, viii resign in order to allow some other
friends of the Administration to be appointed
for four gears, who would hold on until re-
naoued. 1t is hoped by the Administration that
some of these new appointees may be allowed
to remain land, if not, the spoilsmen fatter
themselves with an idea that they will at least
throw on the Harrison Administration some
odium for dismissing them.
Another plan is that which, if rumor speaks
truly, has already been resorted to by President
Van Buren-to make appointments totake effect
from and after the fourth of March merit LAS
is alluded to in the following paragraph, which
we cut from one of our exchange papers:
at is stated in the Boston Atlas that the President
has nominated Jonas L. Sbley for disappointment to
the Office of u S. Marshal for that district, from and
which he now holds will expire We imagine that
General Harrison will consider himself entitled to the
privilege of appointing to all offices from and after
the 4th of March next"
| Do Mr.. Calhoun, and Mr.. Benton, and Col
Johnson, and their friends in the Senate, think
it "erpedienf' now to act upon nominations
which fall under either of these classes2
We shall see.
| In the meantime let the public scan every no
mination with an observant and vigilant eye :
and the public decision, we doubt not, will be,
that those who succeed in obtaining offices by
the systematic plotting of resignation on the
part of others, or by appointment from and
after the fourth Of March merit" ought to be
among the very first to be dismissed under the
coming Administration

6. II transforms the Government into an cleo.
tioneering machine.
7. 1t tends to cause neglect in all the branches
of the service.
II is true that the Federal Convention which
framed the Constitution, rejected the PROPOSE
tion Of inelgibiiiy; Mr.. jefferson regretted that
it did SO, and the late experience Of the Govern
ment has shown that il would have been wise "a
limit the Presidents eligibility. On the present
occasion, South Carolina occupies, on this sub
ect, position directly opposite to that taken BY
her representatives in 'S7. In the Federal Con
vention, the principle Of ineligibility was op-
posed BY such men as Alexander Hamilton and
Rufus King but il was supported by such men
as Rutledge, of S. c., and Mason and Randolph,
of Va. In nearly all the resolutions embodyinp
forms of government, reported to the Conven-
ton, the principle Of ineIigibity was distinctly
insisted on, and, indeed, was inserted in one Of
the original drafts of the Constitution. And on
the motion to strike out the words, "To be in
eligible second time" the vote was as follows
Ayes-Massachuse Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Georgia-6. Noes
Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South
CaroIina-4. 1t will be recolected that Gen
Washington, and Mr.. Madison, were among
the delegates from Virginia. So that South Ca
rolina will gain no credit for consistent attach
ment to principle by opposing ineligibility now
But as she supported il when the majority were
opposedtoit it, we presume she thinks it, in cha
racter, to oppose it now when the majority are
III favor Of it.
We do not regret the issue the Federalists
propose. 1t was clearly presented in the late
canvass, and was as distinctly settled by the re-
suit.
But, settled or not settled, we now and hence
forth regard itas fundamental principle in the
composition Of parties, peculiarly character
izing that which is the most decidedly Democra-
tic Republican.

REPEAL OF THE SUB TREASURY

The notice given by Mr.. Clay Of Kentucky
Of his intention to call up his resolution for the
repeal Of the Sub Treasury Act, was mention
ed in our Congressional record on Tuesday, bu
we deem it important again to draw the atten
ton Of the public to the fact, that the dstin
guished Senator announced that he would ash
for the consideration of his resolution, on any
early dayton Monday next if the Senate
should then be full His purpose was to take
the sense of the Senate as soon as it would be
agreeable togentlemen Of all parties, to act upon
the measure ofrepeal.
In the course Of his able speech yesterday on
the Presumption Bill, Mr.. CLAY took occasion to
say that were he in the predicament of the Sc
majors on the Administration side, he would in
uoduce just sucha measure for the repeal Of an
act that had been SO unequivocally condemned
by the imperative 1ecision Of the public.

CASE oF,THE CAROLINE.

Mr.. Fox stigmatizes the late steamboat Caro-
line as a s.prate." Suppose she was-B it
lawful for Great Britain or any other natioI to
pursue capture and destroy a pirate in the er-
ritory and under the jurisdiction of the United
States2 nj
Suppose the Caroline is proved to be not Ia
pirate. Is not then the language of Mr.. Fd1
insulting? N
Suppose, as indicated by the British Minister
the English Government recognize the destruc-
ton of the Caroline in American waters as ar
official act, and justify it, can she atone for thu
outrage of law and the murder of American
citizens by paying for the boat? .s
Suppose Macleod is found guilty of being
engaged in the burning and murder-he will b.
executed as the laws require. What then2
Can there be any other national legal satlsfac
ton but blood for blood, and property for pro
Terty2
Additional correspondence between Mr. For
syth and the British Minister, will be found il
our columns to-day. For the information of thu
reader, we quote the following remarks from thu
Hamilton Upper Canada) Journal, in references
to the same case:
Our contemparary-th Buffalo Patriot-has com
mitted an error in supposing that Sir Allan Macna
knighted in consequences of sanctoning the burn
ing of the Caroline Such is not the fact Sir ALA
received the honor Of knighthood for the promptnes
with which he assumed the command of the mlliii
in this section at the breaking out of the rebellion
and more especially in dispensing the misguided pei
sons who had assembled in arms under Duncombe
the West The legality Of destroying the Carolin
in American loaters, has not yet been pronounced
by the British Government
That point, and the burning Of the Sir Robert Pee
for which the British Government has demande
reparation-have, and continue to be, the subject
active correspondence between the two governments
In proofthat the home government has not given an
opinion on the particular act of the destruction OF tn
Caroline we may mention the following fact Dunn
the last session Of the Imperial Parliament Lord job
Russell was asked the question whether it was the II
tention of ministers to recommend her Majesty to %
stow any reward on Captain Drew and others engag
ed in that affair His ordship replied that they ma
not done SO, and as the question involved subject
a very delicate nature, he must decline to answer
farther.

IMPROVEMENTS TO OFFICE.

The publication in the Government news
paper, from day to day, of long lists OF offlcers
under the head appointments by the Presl-
dent, by and with the advice and consent OF the
Senate,n has brought very forcibly to our recol-
lection certain transactions in Executive session
of the Senate, during the memorable winter OF
162S-'29 It may be well, just at this this time,
to revive scrap or two of the history OF that
period and show how different was the course
then Of some who are now prominent supporters
of President Van Buren, from the conduct they
now think proper to pursue. II the remlnIs-
cence should not raise these politicians In the
estimation ofpeople who preserve some regard
for consistency-if the contrast between their
course then and their course now should not in
crease the readers respect for their partsanship,
the fault is not ours.
Some months before the close of President
Adams Administration, vacancy occurred on
the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United
States, by the death Of the Hon. RoBERT TRIM
BILE. AT the beginning Of the session of 1928,

CHARAcTERIsTIc CONSISTENCY While the
election was pehding the Van Buren, federalists
charged the Republicans with design Of as
Stunning the debts of the States. But that accu-
sation having proved false and unavailable, they
are now accusing the Republicans Of hostility to
the credit Of the States. As the Navy Depart
ment has wasted the Naval Pension fund in
part by bad investments in local stocks, and Mr.
Woodbury. has placed the Smithsonian bequest
beyond the present reach of the government by
investing it in the srocks of Arkansas, and fol
other reasons, Mr. J. @. Adams introduced in
the III. Of Representatives, resolution to prohi-
bit the further investment of any public funds Of
the U. States in stocks Of the States. For this
the Republicans. instead Of being charged with
assumption are accused of attacking the credit
of the States
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1841-01-09

MORE CANDoR, &c.--During the election cam
vass the Republicans were stigmatized as the
instruments of Great Brtain--bought with Bri-
fish gold, and good friend Of ours, was accused
Of being British emissary distributing foreign
funds to corrupt the voters. Now, however
when the "crouching subserviency"- Of which
Mr.. Van Buren, has been guilty towards Great
Britain is made apparent, and the Republicans
demand the maintenance Of our rights and ma
tonaI honor, the tune is changed-and the Har-
rison Republicans are accused of hostility TO
Great Britain!

MARYLAND.-Go Grayson's message is oc-
cupied with long argument against Mr. Clay's
Land Bill, and National Bank. Judging from
the embarrassed condition Of the affairs of the
State over which he presides, his advice will
hardly be deemed very valuable on any subject
connected with government The debt of Ma
ryland is now SIS, 100000. The demands on
the State, this year, will amount to $927,OOO-
the receipts to $780, O5 We do moi see that
the Governor proposes any remedy for the bad
condition of affairs. Like his partisans else
where, he seems to be occupied with one idea,
and that is factious opposition to Gen Harrison.

The Franklin Bank Of Baltimore, an old
institution of that city, has determined to wind

The Board have determined to resort to this course
that they may be enabled to do equal justice to all the
creditors of the bank Meanwhile the President and
Directors pledge themselves individually to the truth
Of their belief that the assets Of the bank are amply
adequate to the early redemption of every outstanding
