THE STATUE OF WASHINGTON.

The discussion incidentally introduced in the
House in relation to the statue now in the rotun-
do, has resusctated public interest about the
proper location of this work of art. Neither
critical knowledge Of sculpture, nor special
investigation of the merits OF the various pro-
positions which have been made with respect
to the location of the statue in question, enable
us to speak our own opinions on the subject
In the few words we write, we but echo the
sentiments we have heard from various sources
entitled to respect
We hear but one opinion-and that is favor
abe--in relation to the plan proposed by MIR.
Maher, the public gardener. Instead of con-
6ning the gigantic statue of Washington to the
narrow limits and obsructed light Of the rotun-
do, he proposes to place it over the central en-
trance of the enclosure to the grounds, on the
west side, accompanied by a suitable pedestal,
supported by an arch, decorated in such man
ner as to be worthy Of the high conceptions OF
the merits of the statue ITSELF as formed by its
admirers Persons, in the correctness of whose
taste we have reason to place implicit confidence,
have spoken in terms Of unqualified approba-
ton of this plan. They say, that while it will
give the most appropriate position to colossal
statue, the changes in the grounds which are
projected will be equally ornamental and
useful.
Without wishing to interfere with the implied
privilege Of Mr.. Greenough to place the creation
Of his own genius as his ideas may suggestive
cannot iorbear expressing the opinion that we
are inclined to advocate the proposition of Mr..
Maher, as we understand it, from the represent
talions OF those who have inqurnd into It's de-
tails

MIR. MANGUM.

We are not disposed TO quarrel with Mr..
Mangums language of affected contempt; and,
did il not receive Fictitious importance from
what il is worth with those who know the North
Carolina Senator. If the coarse language he
has chosen most undeservedy to apply TO our
paper be necessary TO soothe the rrtated feel
ings of his friend, Mr.. Benton, we can readily
pardon the act for the goodness OF the motive.
But we do think that gentleman who was and
perhaps is warm stickler for court language
as standard of purity, might have selected
phrases more refined than the vulgar cant OF un-
fledeed statesmen, whose conceit teaches them
TO assume The swell of dignity. The repetition
of such stale forms of speech do but little Gre
dit to MIR. Mangum's powers of invention,
whileit is degradation TO the Senate chamber,
and is wholly unmerited by our paper We
defy even tn e ingenuity of MIR. Mangums
malignity to discover any thing that has appear-
ed in the Madsonian during the whole period
that it has leen under our management which
can in any manner call for the opprobrious cpl
thets which he has applied to it. Certainly, we
have never penned any article descending so
far towards ribaldry as the phraseology which
he is reported to have used in reference to US.
Our course has sustained the editorial dignity,
whatever may become Of the senatorial in the
person Of Mr. Mangum. distinguished gen
tleman from the South denominated him, we
believe, 'the conduit-pipe of Mr.. Clay's malig-
nifty, who forgets the polish Of the language in

CONGRESS-.

In the House, ON Thursday, a bill was reported
from Select Committee for approprlating
$4,000 for the purchase of instruments for the
purpose of asccrtaInng the exact longitude OF
the Capitol.
The report from the Secretary of the Urea
sury in relation TO the Tariff was referred to the
Committee of Ways and Means, the House
having previously Refused to go into Committee
Of the Whole.
The House having been resolved into Com
mttee of the Whole, the unfinished business OF
the previous day was taken up. The amend
ment of Mr., Adams in relation 70 the oulht OF
the Minister to Holland was, after debate,
agreed to.
To the section providing for the contingent
expenses of foreign intercourse, the Senate APP
pended proviso, that no part of the approprla-
ton should be applied after the lst of July next
for compensation to separate agents, appointed
without the consent of the Senate, or any act
of Congress for receiving and transmitting des-
patches. This provlso gave rise to a protracted
debate, and on the vote being taken--lS 70 ed

MR.. MANGuM.

II is not our purpose to throw back the low
and vulgar epthets applied to this paper on
Wednesday last by the high-minded and chval-
rous Senator from North Carolina, from his
place in the Senate Chamber-ay, in the Sc
nate of the United States of America That
we are not in the habit of publishing !" filth" and
"calumny" in the Madisonian, our readers
must Judge, and we are proud to state that the
number of our readers, should they brand the
Senator with the stigma of utterlng libel, IS
noao sufficient to raise Z" thunder gust about
his ears Those who are in the habit of listen
ing to the conversation of the Senator, and those
in the habit of reading the Madisonian, may
compare notes.
But we desire to call the attention Of our
readers to portion Of the political history OF
Mr. Mangum. 1t is no wonder he is now con-
spring with Mr. Benton in the war against the
Madisonan We will give them both the
coup de grace. Our only regret is that all our
enemies have not the courage to avow them
selves. We are smiled upon every day by
politicians who are secretly laborlng TO lnJure
US. We have the comfort however, OF knoW-
ing them. The following is from the Mobile
Register, edited, we believe by son Of the late
Secretary of State:
Mr. GAYS NOMINATION nomination is
calculated to bring up some "reminiscences not very
creditable to the candor and consistency OF some OF
the leading Wings ofthat State. We happen to pos
sess copy Of political address written during the
Presidential campaign Of 1929 in which the names OF
several of these parties figured largely II was writ
ten by George E. Badger late Secretary of the Navy,
and writer Of the late invitation to Mr. Clay to come
to Raleigh to be nominated and the ticket it was m
tended to support contains the names of John lH
Morehead the present Wing candidate for Governor,
and Willie p. Mangum, the present Senator in Con-
gress, who echoes Mr. Clay in all things The adj
dress contains a severe. examination Of Mr.. Clay
vote for MIR. Adams as President, which is directly
charged to have been the result of dlshonorabe bar
gain. He " voted for Mr.. Adams in expectation of
being made Secretary Of State, and The expectation
decided his pote! says Mr. Badger and for this con
duct his position and claims to public confidence were
further likened TO Aaron Burr. Among other i'm.
putations were those Of bloodthrsness in his duel
with Mr. Randolph, maignity in his treatment OF
General Jackson and mpety in the coarseness OF MS
electioneering speeches. Badger wrote tins TO hep
the election of Morehead and Mangum; and now
Badger, Morehead, and Mangum, are supporting Clay
for President.

" We repeat, what we have more than once assert
ed, that ultimatey-ay, two years hence--thele
will be but two partesthe Administration party and
the Opposition, or ultralWhig and Loco Foco porty
The Grand Republican Administration party will be
composed of the moderate and conscientious men Of
all parties.
The leading measures Of the Republican party
will be the Exchequer, Tariff for revenue, and pro-
ceeds of the land sales pledged to discharge the ma
tonal debt. Those Of the Opposition will be Ma
tonal Bank, high protective Tariff, and uncondi-
tonal Distribution"
I5PThe Madisonian is right in the position here
taken There can be but the two parties in the
country, and, as the Madisonian shrewdly remarks,
there Will be but these two parties two years hence.
1t requires prophet to how these parties are to
be constituted. The one will be the old Federal
Wing party with Mr. Clay for its head, and contend
lug for National Bank, protective Tariff, Distribu-
tion Sc; the other will be the Republican party,
standing, as it has always done, with firm front
against the infection of the odious and runous policy
Mr. Clay and his party pledged to carry out. Let
the President adhere with unbending irmness to the
principles of the Constitution; let him stand firm
against Bank; against protective Tariff; against
the runous policy of Distribution when the national
debt is rapidly charging and the Republicans at
least will bear him out lis measures will be sus-
tanned, and burning efigies will only furnish light to
direct his course in obedience to the public will

THE PREsIDENT-HIs COURSE.

Surrounded by difficulties unprecedented IN
,he annals Of American history unavoldably
subjected TO evil influences never experienced
bv any other President; embarrassed by such
actions as were never before encountered by
the Government we ask the People of this
country if the course of the President has not
been honest, manly, firm, and consistent
Whatever charges Of vacillation, duplicity, and
deception, may justly lie at the door of others,
we think we may venture TO assert that John
TYLER is free from stain or bemsh. If he is
grasped in apparent friendship by the right hand
or the man who stabs him with the left, he
slabs not back again. His bearing is frank,
omen, generous He deceves no one. Let the
humbest citizen enter his door to ask justice at
his hands for any oppression that may have
been inflicted on him, he will have patient
hearing, and if justice is on his side, il will be
secured TO him. The ruthless war Of party or
CANS having completely absolved all mere party
obligations on the part Of the President in call
ING men to his assistance in the "ialthlu exc
cuton of the laws" Wing has no right to
claim any thing at his hands that would be de-
MED TO Democrat. A Democrats grievances
will be listened to as freely by him as those of a
Wing. We appeal TO our common counrymen
if this is not contamination they have wish
ed2 Will not its beneficial effects be felt and
acknowledged even after this generation shall
have passed away2 Will it not deservedly re-
buke those whose unholy arts are employed TO
attain the Presidency, to the exclusion OF the
best interests of the country, both in and out Of
Congress- There are those out Of Congress
who are sacrificing every thing and every body
10 attain the Presidential seat. We kno,o it,
and we assert it.

Sir Robert Peel has not acknowledged that the
Government had reached the limits Of fiscal demand
ON the consumption of the country, that his income
tax the only, the indispensable alternative for
supplying the deficit or equalizng the receipts and
expenditure of the Treasury. On the contrary, he
has admitted that, by reducing the duty on foreign
sugars he might obtain larger sum than the income
tax would yield But he has adduced this tax as fit
for season of waras the, best precauon, the sole
security against political horizon overcast and por-
tentous every side, to which he has repeatedly
pointed. Ii is not irrelevant nor exorbitant to ask
place for the following remarks in his speech OF
the 23d:
whatever might be the evils of direct taxation,
they never conld exceed those which resulted from
indirect taxation. Could il be denied that the latter
to an enormous extent, encouraged smuggling, and
encouraged at any rate to an equal degree as direct
taxation, the crimes Of perjury and fraud' lie did
not propose an income tax merely to make up the
deficiency which had arisen in the revenue, but 1t
was also with the view of enabling him to propose
great alterations, which must, in the first instance,
produce an effect in the revenue"

assumes to be the organ of the Wing majority

lied to speak for that body Yet it is venturing
much TO predict what will be done in all the next
three months. We will not hold that body re-

would rather predict the condition of the Wing

disposition two months hence.

agraphs
"Of the astounding frauds, perpetrotcd under the

we shall lay before our readers most startling devel-
cpement this head-beng the result of judicial in

There is truth in what is here said Of the ndif-
ference of the Mayor. No sooner had he heard of
the report that prisoners had been discharged from
Blackwell's Island, than he proceeded thther in
company with Justice Taylor and had the books Of
the establishment thoroughly examined, both to the
number of persons discharged and when discharged.
transcripts of the hooks were also made, and
brought to the city, that they might be examined IN
connection with the afiidayits of different PERSONS
The Mayor has been present at these examinations,
and many of the aifdavts are in his own hand
writing.
