and &r.aRnns.sf. fExul1sssD ~ sEsuRssE assumes
the ground that the President 10 entirely blame
because he put Ais Veto on the Tariff BILL
mo- T. The Distritution Of TIE Lands Money
The rationths important and startling dcciara-
ton is made by Mr.. Adams that the Houses have
determined that the proceeds Of the sales Of the public
lands shall be distributed among the States TO
a6le them to pay Msir honest debts" They have
done it the principle that the lands fare the proper
ty of the nation" and, The property of the nation,
the General Government possesses the right 70 dis
tribute them among the States, ito enable them to
pay their honest debts" He takes this further ground,
that relying the distrbution the State debts wero
contracted to the amount of hundred and ninety
five millions of dollars This 10 most delicate ground
| to occupy. But Mr.. Adams is the spokesman for
Mr. Clays friends, and if this indirect assumption Of
State debts Ii Of the features Of policy which
they form issue with the President, do not, and
not consider the determination wise. The people
can easily determine between the wisdom of Congress
and the Executive under the exposition Of Mr. Adams
of the Interior aim which Congress has in view.
This completes the issue under Mr.. Adams COM
prehension Of the case. He gives the President
credit Tor the management of Foreign Relations,
and does not permit that to weigh feather In his
behalf He avoids the charge Of being occupied in
President-m king, by the declaration that they were
provoked to it, because it was known Mr.. Tyler
formed the deter mutation to be President per before
he had been at ashington "a hours, and every ac-
ton of his had contorned to that determination
Now, in the name of the Constitution and common
sense, if Mr. Tyler not to be President per sc,
how should he have been PIesident2 We suppose
cum Henry Clay or per dictatorem or in some other
way. Per SC in plain English means "by himself"
Mr.. Adams complaint Is that the President said be
was the President and intended to be 80 by himself;
and that was sufficient provocaton to Congress 70
commence President-making for the and benefit
Of "our man in the west" He pleads guilty to that
and says the Democrats have been doing the same
thing-and pleads by way of excuse, the provocation
aforesaid
This is the syllabus of Mr.. Adams speech. He
concluded, after laying down the programme of the
drama-the points in ssue-by asking permission to
write pamphlet, in the shape Of Report on the
Veto, and that the House would give him the nomi-
nal support oftweve Congressman call in row" to
give character and weight to the paper which will
shortly be forthcoming. This spesch of Mr.. Adams
is worthy of attention. We advise Mr.. Clays friends
not to trust the to Mr.. Adams. He has not for
gotten the unexplained grudge between himself and
Mr. Clay-and we have fear of secret poison in the
preparation We repeat to them to haze care!
But, alas they did trust him, and see what
he has brought them to!

JOHN DAVIS, of Massachusetts,;
1t is this Veto They will now both be elected al
most by exclamation. But this remedy is far off.
Many poor fellow will be ruined within the two
wears and half that must intervene before their inau
guraton in March, l845."
We predict that MIR. Clay himself will be the
only one ruined by it. Our predictions are now
entitled to some weight. We predicted that
Judge Wilson would throw up the Clay flag,
though assured to the contrary by his friends.

penter, E. N Sill and b. Stanton filed with the
Speaker of the Senate and discover that the dates
have in each case been altered from the sixth to the
eleventh of August
Attest, THOMAS j. MORGAN, Clerk
According to a resolution which had been Of
fered but not yet passed, there remained several
days before the final adjournment The appor-
tionment bill, had it passed the House, had yet
to pass the Senate, and might have been there
debated several days; during which time the
other unfinished business for the relief OF the
people Of the State, could have been complete.
One day more and the poor mans COO l0osld
have been saped to his family. Had the
bill passed the Senate it still had TO undergo the
ordeal of the Governor, who is a thoroughgoing
Clay Wing, and could have interposed his Veto
in case the bill was decidedly Objectionable.
Thus it appears that there was no necessity
tor resignngt to defeat the bill, as they had yettwo
one Of their Qaon party a0as ercluSipe judge
We have proved, incontestably, that the foul
deed was not required, even for the avowed
purpose proclaimed to the world-that these
men had written their designations four days
before the bill of which they complain, was in
troduced-that they defeated salutary measures
which were nearly completed-that they dis
solved the Legislature by their destructive act
that they suffered the poor man to be Cypress
ed by the creditor-that they denied to the me-
chamic any security for has labor and destroy
ed at a single blow the constitutional govern
ment of sovereign State. 1.-THE lnteligencer
justifes all this, and even dictates to the mem
bers Of Congress to ''go and do likewise
Having shown the monarchical views and ia
nus hypocrisy of the House Printers, we have
but one more point to touch upon, aud that is,
the base SANDER of these foreigners upon the
name and character of the noble, the just the
brave and the beloved George Washington.
The Intelligencer states justification of the
base Ohio conspiracy, that Washington resigned
office, and by this it is intended to make that
good man approve the destruction Of Govern
ment he cherished in his heart of hearts. He
never resigned any office until he had accom-
plished all that the People selected him to per-
form. The foreign editors may attempt to ex-
cuse themselves by asserting that Washington
''only resigned" without giving times; but what
excuse can they offer for this insult to country
that is supporting them in the most extravagant
lberaty What excuse can they offer for en-
deavoring to heap disgrace upon that revered
name, in coupling it with the destruction OF
free Government None none, but the desire
to please their English employers at the expense
of every thing that is American.
We have run this article far beyond our usual
limits, but the importance of the SUBJECTIVE
prominent character of this most unnatural con-
spiracy, and the base attempt to connect it with
the name of our Washington, demanded Of us a
full statement of facts.
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1842-08-27


ply, by the subjoned Letter, to caumny which the
official paper has directed against him. and although,
in our opinion, he has condescended far, yet, he
having done So it be due to him to place his
reply before our Observation-Disclosures
The card of General Scott which appeared
in the Madisonian of Wednesday, is copied by
the Intelligencer and the editor of that paper is
pleased to preface it with the above remarks
| Our readers know the nature of the remarks
which accompanied it in the Madisonian and
now we would like to know, before pursuing the
| subject farther, whether General Scott author
lied or approved the comment of the Intelligent
Ger. Of course we have no right to demand
this but, presuming, even if it was not written
by the editor of the Intelligencer, it had his
hearty concurrence, we deem it proper to say
that the 'calun.ny," as he calls it, was had OF
one or two of his best and most powerful friends.
In relation to the condescenson, the General, of
course, thought and acted for himself Were
we to publish statement (duly signed) in our
possession, Gin relation to a certain sealed Off
cal document appropriated by the Inteigencer,)
the excessive dignity of that paper might be ex-
hibited in most ridiculous point of view.
A friend writing from Washington informs US that
the debate upon the ratification of the treaty with Eng
land was one of the most interesting and spirited
which has ever occurred in the Senate. The prncl-
pal speakers in opposition the treaty, Messrs
Buchanan and Benton the former OF whom is said to
have delivered one of the best speeches made IN
the Senate. The provisions IF the treaty, which Will
of course not officially be made known until after its
ratification by England, are said to be- in many re-
spects highly disgraceul to this country. We hope
that the injunction of secrecy on the proceedings OF the
Senate in relation to the treaty will be removed, and
that the public will be afforded opportunity of see
ing the debate upon this important and interesting
subject These secret proceedings and secret sessions
are not in accordance with the spirit of our Govern
ment and we think il due to the people, long the
rule exists which provides for them, that the nunc'
ton of secrecy should be removed in all cases by
solution of the Senate.-Pennsylpanid
We beg the Pennsylvania to suspend its
opinion till the injunction of secrecy is re-
moved. la the meantime we think it both I'M
fair and unreasonable, to express an apprehen-
sion that the 'provsions are disgraceful," by
Democratic paper when it is known that on
ly seren Democrats opposed it, and that t,celre
| advocated it.
We cannot believe that Webster, the Presi-
dent, Calhoun, Rives, Preston, King Sewer,
Cuthbert, &C. &C., would approve disgraceful
