and the Federal Government-and thus to bring
back sound currency and universal prosperity
to the nation--aU of 1Dhich means an dssump-

held up in its deformity by Mr. Brown, of Penn
sylvania, and others, when the Federalists, taxi
ing counsel from their fears, 10y 11S to H. laid
the whole matter on the table.
1t will be perceived by the sagacious, that, in
this way, the Federalists, or majority of them,
were saved the expression of any direct opin-
ion as regards the assumption OF the debts OF the
States virtually or in fact, as votes of this sort
are frequently given from variety of conside-
rations besides those which relate to consttu-
tonal Interpretation. But whilst the majority
may thus evade any disclosure of their real SEN
tments, the minority can claim no such abso-
luton. 1t appears, then, from the vote taken the
other day, in the House, on a motion to refer
memorial praying Congress, IN effect, to as
sumo the debts of the States and thereby to
create GREAT NATIONAL DEBT for the Federal
Government that SEVENTEEN CLAY Wings re-

To the Editor of the Madis0nian
DEAR SIR-Enclosed are g. from Mr.. -
of Essex county, N. York. to whom, at that place
you will please send your paper.
Mr.. - was the late P. M. there, who was re-
moved to make for the present Clay occupant,
without even having been informed that there were
any charges against him. He, as well as myself OPP
posed the Wings in 1910. But now see in the
course Of Mr. Tyler, particularly his course on the
Tariff, much which meets with our appreciation. We
are both manufacturers, and we believe Tariff for re-
venue, with proper Discrimination will afford manufac-
turers all the protection need ought to receive
and more than that do not want an excessive high
Tariff, which would be productive of more evil than
permanent benefits. am your obedient servant Sc

According to the provisions of the Constitution each
Society joining the Union is entitled to one Vice
President and member Of the Executive COMMITTEES.
As few of the Societies in the District unrep-
resented Ut the Convention for the election of officers,
it thought expedient that provision should be
made whereby said Societies should receive the benefit
of that provision of the Constitution accordingly,
resolut adopted giving power to such Societies
to elect from their own number, Vice President and
person to represent them in the Executive Com
mittee. The of persons elected, to be placed
in the list of officers certificate ofther election be-
ing to the Secretary is, therefore, hoped that
those Societies WILL at early day, proceed to the
election and make report that the organization of
the Union may be perfect. +.

Mr. BUCHANAN moved to strike out the third
section in the bill as follows:
"That the office of Commissary General of Pur-
chases, sometimes called Commissary of Purchases

duties thereof shall hereafter be performed by the

OF the officers and clerks attached TO the pu chas-
ing department shall be author zed by the Secretary
Of War, and under such egulalIons shall he pre-
scrbej by the said Secretary under the sanction Of
the President of the niied States"
After some remarks by Messrs BUCHANAN,
BENTON, and PRESTON the question was taken
and the amendment disagreed TO.
Mr. KING moved to strike out the following, viz ::
SEC 5. And be IL further enacted That a compe
tent person may be employed by Ordnance bu-
reau under tie direction OF the Secretary of War for
such time may be necessary, TO sulerlntend the
manufacture of iron cannon at The several foundrles

The lntellgencer, of Thursday. makes the
following remark in relation to The Presidents
Veto:
Nothing, certainly, could have been more unex.
pected TO us Than that this extr.me power should be
exercised by the Executive, in " here such
pains had been taken, by amendment and qualifca-
ion, to shape the bill to avoid the possibility OF
It's encounlerlng the fate which il has met with"
We would not be astonished if Bolts, or
LandscrP Ewing, were to endeavor TO create
the impression that the amendment chad the
Presidents appreciation before it passed!" But
what is the obvious meaning of the Inleli
geneer2 Nothing less than this-that the Pre-
sident Is presumptuous and impertinent, be-
cause he will mol submit to the dlctalion of the
Caucus Congress Congress and the Inteiii-
gencer are 10 prescribe the duties of the Presi-
dent Were 1t not true, as was justly said by
Mr.. Holmes, that We have Chief Magistrate

THE LETTERS.

We must pause, and consider well whether the
abuse of such men as Bolts, Arnold and Stan
ly, is worth our attention. If we decide in the
Affirmative, no one will blame us for breaking
their (pohtlcal) heads. They attack the Mad-
sonan. and we will be perfectly juslifiable in
giving the coup de grace them TO all. Bolts
says:

ments during the late war with Great Britain,
was taken up; and, after some remarks by
Messrs. Bates, CHoArE, ALLEN, TArPAs, Sc
WEIR and EVANS, il was, for the present. passed
over.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the
bill respecting the reorganization of the Army
and for other purposes.
The question pending was on striking out the
fifth section, as follows.
THAT competent person be employed by the Ord
nance bureau, under the direction of he Secretary of
w ar, Tor such time may be necessary, TO superin
tend The manufacture of iron at the several
iouudrles where such cannon may be made under
contracts wlhthe United States whose pay and emo
unents shall not exceed those of major of ordnance
during the time he shall he employed" &c.
And, on the question being taken, il was de-
cided in the negative
Several amendments, with regard to the al
lowance Of ralions, were adopted and the bill
was ordered TO be engrossed for a third read
ing.
The bill TO provide for further remedial JUS
ice IN the courts Of the United States, Go re-
move certain eases from the State to the Fede-
lal Courts was taken up, when
Mr. WmGHr addressed the Senate for more
than two hours In opposition TO the bill. He
analysed the grants of judicial power as given
by the Constitution, and contended that the
principles of the bill were calculated to bring the
States of the Union, and the authorities of the
Union, into the most fearful and ruinous COLI
sion.
Mr.. WOODBURY. gave notice that he would,
TO morrow, ask leave 10 introduce a bill to ex-
tend, for limited time, the existing laws for
laying and collecting revenue, and bill to pro-
vide for home valuation of goods imported in
to the United States.
And the Senate then adjourned.

PARTIES.

We are often censured for commencing the
men OF this or that party, by pdrtisans We
would state, once for all, that we do not look
upon parties as hostile bands of savages-on
the contrary, we regard all honest Americans as
hesitate TO commend noble political sent-
ment or action, without inquiring what party
the individual may have been attached to. True
patriotism is broad, comprehensive, and dsin-
terested.

ERRATA.-Owing to an error in the copying or
printing of the Presidents Message, very important
passage in deprived of its force and point by the

" 1t is true that loan was authorized at the same
session during which the distribution law passed
but the least sanguine OF the friends of the two
