A speech delivered by this gentleman in the

ed in the National Intelligencer of 21st JAM,

II know how strong are local cIrcumstan-
ces.-I admit myselfto be probably as strong
ly bound by them-as much influenced by the
effects they may produce, as any getlemen in
this Hall; but still, sir, it is dne to myself to
the petitioners, and to the case upon which
am now speaking, declare, what every
man who knows me well knows, that never
have been and am not now an Abolltionist;-so
far from it, indeed, that gentlemen who know
my course and have thought it of sufficient
consequence to notice it, are well informed
thai, whilst have !elt MYSELF from courtesy,
and from considerations of personal respect
bound to answer questions propOunded to me
BY tire Abolitionists, my answers tothose ques-

From the Madisonian.


The loco-focoS, after revelling for twelve
years in all the luxurious abundance of over
grown salaries and enloluments of Office, are
now, as they are about to be sundered from
them, thrown intoa sudden fit of economy, the
like of which they have never before exhibited
or even dreamed Of On the contrary, when,
within few years past, the Democratic Wings
proposed reduction of salaries, and limit to
the expenditures, the loco-oCos were highly
incensed, and violently opposed any such inn
pertinent interference with their privileged
emoyments; because, Uto the victor belonged
the s2oils'' While President Van Buren, was
expending his thousands in the W hite House,
and Mr.. Attorney Butler, and Mr. Collector
Hoyt, and others, of their friends, were accu-
muatiDg immense fortunes in Office, these Geo.
nomical patriots not only had no objections to
make, but would not permit their pampercd
friends to be molested, or the Treasury or the
people to be protected from these enormous
drafts. If a Receiver had his hands so full that
he could not well add more of the public mon
ey, why, that was alone held to be sufficient
reason why he should be retained in office. II
another had stolen a large fortune from the
public Treasury, he was still esteemed the
more capable Of serving his party, and the adj
vice was, "better let it be-"
Now, forsooth, in the very last week of the
last quarter of their political supremacy when
| the offices and the emoluments they nave TOO
long enjoyed are about to pass from them. they
come forward with eagerness TO apply the hard
of retrenchrnent simply because they can nc
longer employ their hands of plumber in filling
their own pockets. And the Globe (PGrihis
nlendaciOp) has the effrontery to pretend that
these propositions to reduce salaries are made
by its friends ''as soon as the extraordinary
amounts received by officers were known!'-
Such mendacity and impudence have seldom
been equalled, during the long term this un-
principled party have been held together, as
MIR. Calhoun said, ''by the cohesive power o.
public plumber"

THE NEW GARNET.

The Baltimore Republican speaking Of the
new Cabinet says;
"Itmay not, probably.be known that Thom-
as Ewing, theiproposed Secretary ofthe Trea-
ury, is connected with Nicholas Biddle, late
President of that institution (the United States
Bank,) in very extensive land speculatlons,
and that the money with which the land was
purchased though it may not be generally
known such is we believe the fact. That Daniel
Webster and John Bell are deeply interested
in the fate of that Bank, is more generally
known"
We did not know that Mr.. Ewing was con.
nected with land speculations with Mr.. Bid.
die;
Mr.. Ewing specuLated deeply in land scrip
is well known, and that he got the means
from the Bank OF the United States is also wei
known.
Among the crimes charged against the
Bank was the heinous one ofcoTrupting mem
bers of Congress with extraordinary accom-
modatlons. These not only seduced mem
bers to support all its designs, but tempted
them to engage in specializing legislation, t.
apply the funds put at their disposal, IN wal
to secure immense individual profit,

What do we see as the result Of this so zeal
ously preached political faith when about to be
reduced to practice. Harrison, who so mag
unanimously came forward and threw the shield
of his sacred VOW over every Office holder to
make him secure in the enjoyment OF his place
-Messrs Clay and Webster, who declared
that he was entitled by the Constitution to re-
tain it unless rousted by conviction upon char
ges for some delinquency, are soon to be N

Government.
We take the above from the Globe of March
LIST. 1t is a fair sample of the manner in
which that paper is habittually attempting to
mislead the people of this country. Messrs
Clay and Webster never carried their doc
trine to the extent here asserted by the Globe,
Tt must be remembered that there are many
officers under the general governmentAthe oc-
cupants OF which are appointed during life o.
united removal, if we concede to the President
the right TO remove; while some OF them are
appointed for a certain length of times and
heir term expires by its own limitation.
Thus the members of the CabTnets are ap.

who appointed them, goes out Of Office; and

they are here to prove, that when Har.
rison said he would turn out no man for opn'
ions sake, he meant he would turn out 0'ts
man when Clay and Webster said that the
President had no constitutional power to turn

MIR. Ewing is too good natured to deal
much in sarcasm, or to retort 10 bitterness
of invective; and he never electrifics his au-

He is sagacious, argumentative and Iabonous !:
often eloquent, but never oratorical. AS a
politician his principles are firm and unyield-

always directing his efforts to that which he

MILITARY COMBINATIONS
MR. cRIrrENpEN AND GEN, SCOTT.

Mr.. CRITTENDEN AND GEN. SCOTT.
In the course OF his remarks on the expendl-
lures ofthe Government, delivered by Mr.. Crit
tenden in the Senate, the following sentence
relative to the Florida war occurred:
"The army IN one place and the provisions
in another! and for ought know, suffering for
the want of them Is this your military CON-
binationI'
The Globe, by intinnating that Gen. Scott
was responsible for the fruits Mr.. Crittenden
complained Of, endeavoring TO torture Mr. Crit
tenden's remarkes into an attack upon Gen.
Scott. Mr.. Crittenden was induced to send to
that paper the following downright denial Of
any right to put such a construction upon his
remarks:
To the Editor of he Globe
| in an editorial article contained in your pa
per of the 18th instants am represented az
| having made an ssattack' on General Scott, in
a speech not long since delivered by me in the
Senate of the United Stafes.-To warrant any
such construction, my remarks must have
been very iny reporteds on very much misun-
derstood. In none Of the cuIpable circunstan-
ces ofthe transactions on which animadVert-
| ed, did suppose General Scott to be at all
duplicated. So far from making any @attaclI''
onhm, on the occasion referred to, / did not
Caention him, nor had any illusions to him in
} word or thought
The friendly relations that have long borne
to that distinguished and gallant officer, render
me DESTROYS to correct The error into which you
have fallen, and to that END, request that you
win publish this in your next paper. Yours,
&c.
LLCR1TTENDEN.
February is, 1871.
The Globe might have been content
with this disclaimer It chose, however, to pur-
sue IFS malicious purposes and to make addi-
tional comments intended still to make Gen.
Scott, if possible, responsible for the miserable
| mistfanagenerT Of an eight years war in
Florida. where Gen. Scott had neither lot or
part, for more than one OF two seasons. All
the improvldence complained Of, the want Of
skiiE, the accumulation of provisions, the "mili-
tarv combinations, (" &C. are now for the FIRST
time attempted to be thrown off the War De-
partment upon General Scott!
The source Of these false and malignant &C.
cusations Cannot be distinguished. The same
@mifitSry combinations" which have directed
the Intellectual war against The savages, are d.
4 rectin9 now their batteries against the AHero
Of Niagara" We do not intend to defend
Gen. Scott. He does not need our defence.
/ fhis assailahts meet with no greater success
in their war upon the Indians, he will never
feel nor fear their attacks.
i We VIII only add that, ifthese "millitary
f combinations" which have proven so unsuc-
cessful nj Florida, sEIohld ever become the sub.
iects of investigation We trust another @milita<
