MIR. CLAY,S PRETORIAN BAND.

There can be no doubt Of the existence OF an
sed band of othce-holders, whose opera
lions are directed solely to the end that the Pre-
sident NAV be ,hwarted, discounted, crushed
The four or five thousand Wing politicians ap-
pointed by the retired Cabinet (and not few
since, by means Of the most contemplate de-
cepton) obeying the mandates oil the central
organization in this city, have been, and are al
this MON mt, exerting all their influence to pre-
rent the President from acquiring that accession
of strength 50 indispensable to the success OF
his salutarv measures and the popularity and
honor of his Administration.
These treacherous politicians are INSPIRED
with Jealous friendship for the Admnistra-
ton, uhen among the aroped friends OF the
Erecutire when among their Clay friends
they denounce the President; and when among
the Democrats, they insult them, and hint that
they are authorized by the Administration TO do
so! And they point TO their commissions to
prove it
We are sure that every honest man, OF every
party, will rejoice when this evil is reformed al
together. The welfare, nay the existence oil
our Government, demands it. Those who have
put their faith in the wisdom, hrmness, and pa
trlotism of John Tyler will not be disappointed

CONGRESS-.

In the House, on Wednesday, some CONVEX
sation arose concerning the withdrawal OF the
motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill
providing for the armed occupation Of FLORIDA
had been passed The subject was laid over,
and after various unsuccessful attempts TO offer
resolutions, &c, the House went into Commit
tee of the Whole, Mr.. Gilmer in the chair, and
resumed the consideration of territorial business.
The first bill taken up was that for establishing
the boundary line between Iowa and Missouri.
After the reading of full report on the subject,
MIR. Pope explained that the bill now under con-
sderation had been reported by the Committee
on Territories at the last Congress, and had re-
ceved the approval of that Committee at the
present Congress. AS the report imbodied the
bill he would not repeat it.
Mr. EDWARDS offered substitute for the ORR
ginal bill--argued at length in favor Of the line
contended for by the State of Missouri-and
was followed by Mr. Dodge, OF Iowa, in reply.
The discussion was wholly of technical cha
racter turning principally on the Specification of
the term Des MONIES rapids-as TO what rapids
the name applies.
Mr.. Mckay rose to offer proviso to the bill.
His vote on the bill would be determined by the
acceptance of his amendment, providing that the
boundary fixed by The bill should be admitted by
the Legislature of Missouri at It's next session.
While the power existed in the General Gov
eminent to fix the boundary Of territory, he
contended il was not co npetent 10 interfere
with the boundary OF a State without the con
sent of the State.
Mr. EDWARDS, of Missouri, stated difficulty
The boundary of the State cannot BE- changed
by an act Of the Legislature, but only by change
of the Constitution.
Mr. MCKAY said, that then the case had bet
ter be left TO the adjudication of the courts, and
not be legisla,ed on by Congress.
Mr. DAVIS opposed the proposition of Mr.
Mckay, and went into full examination OF the
merits of the question, indicating the bill re-
ported by the Committee.
The debate was continued by Mr.. Edwards
and Mr. Dodge.
The amendment of Mr. Edwards was reject
ed, as was that also of Mr.. Mckay The bill
was then laid aside to be reported
On motion of Mr. DopGE, of Wisconsin the
bill granting land for the Improvement OF Grant
river, &C., was laid aside for report.
The following bills were similarly disposed
Of A bill for the relief OF certain settlers in the
Territory Of Wisconsin bill providing for
certain additional expenses of the Territory of
Florida.
The bill for building sea-wall near St. Au-
justine; a bill for the pay the Florida militia,
led to inquiries and debate from Messrs. Fill
more, Warren, &c, and explanations from Nh
Levy. 9th bills in which the territories were
concerned, were successfully acted on.

and the fear that they could not succeed was an ar

been reduced to the unpleasant dilemma OF putting
forth his articles at the tail OF his printed speech
and he says he proposes to prefer them before the
House That is to say, u his more discreet friends
will ever give him the opportunity of suspcndlng the
rules. or bringing them forward. They will never

MAKING BUTTER.

Mr.. Were of London, who has been for
more than thirty years engaged in the but
Ter trade of that city, has furnished paper
TO the New Farmers Journal, on the best
methods of preparing and keeping butter,
from, which we extract the following.
'Solidi'y and frmness, is l think, of
more consequence than is generally
allowed the nearer butter can be made of
the consistency Of wax, the longer will it
retain its flavor.
TO accomplish this object
recommend sailing the cream. by putting
rather more fine table salt than is used
when applied after churning, because par,
will be left with buttermilk: or instead of
salt use strong clear brine TO mix with the
cream or butter.
Brine is preferable to SALT
as the butter is smoother and better favor.
ed II salt be used, it may be in the pro.
portion of half an ounce Of fine dry table
salt, mixed with two drachms of saltpe,re,
and two drachms of sugar, both made fine,
to every pound ofbutter. If the butter be
made into Jumps for the market, | should
recommend that each lump be wrapped
round with piece of calico, soaked in
brine made from fine dry salt, that will
carry an egg, for if the brine is weak, il
will be injurious. IL the butter is put into
a frkin, the cask should be made OF
white oak, ash. sycamore, or beach, well
seasoned by scadirg out several times with
hot brine, made from pure and clean
salt. If very choice butter, would
recommend salt cloth round the
butter, also on the top and bottom; the
cloth to be kept in its place by a hoop
which can be removed as the cask fills
, Mr.. Were deprecates the use Of the hant
/, in making butter. and recommends th,
3 use Of woolen pats, not unlike our farmer
8 wives butter ladies', for beating out th'
butter milk or packing in casks 'Thes'
pats must be always( except when in th'
hand for use) kept IN tub of cold fresl
f water, which will prevent the adherng o
i the butter, and them coo.'
