From our Special Correspondent.


alarm for the honor and stability OF our instiiu-
tons Tho wors, fears of the patriot, Of the Rev
outon arc almost realized and the predictions
of the distinguished trainers Of the Constitution
are already the recorded history Of the land. Inc
political degradationand subservicncy OF the y i'er
ican Congress, uader The daring u'uf ae'"'s oi
the Administrations Of Gen. Jackson ana .lF.= van
Buren. fear have not been e'''iois icouAeo oy
the revolution of 1910.
The Fxccr,;ve pr,,s OF the sword and the purse,
which we, egaized BY trampling On the Consti-
.pt;on and The rights OF the people OF New Jersey
inla3a ;s in no degree relaxed By the conduct OF
certain Whigs claiming for the President the power
and nrerogativc of originating measure Of FL
nance over which his control shall be unquestioncd
and uamitcd. ! have no disposition to alarm
vou but ! have heard i: repeatedly nsinuutcd
tha, tho clause Of Mr. TtLEMADGE's bill restrain
ing the authority Of the President o2cr the officers
of the Exchcq!er' is emphatcally denounced by
that small party in the House denoninnted the
Guard and that, if the Scnutc bill should pass
without Modification of this feature, it would fail
10 become a law. Tho odious Of the Sub Trca-
srrv wrcstcd from the Representatives. Of the peo-
ple tic peoples money, and placed in the hands
Of the Executive.
For this audacous stretch OF power, the people
in their alcstv hurled the late administration from
their posts and demanded of their successors the
regulation o TIC currency and finances Of tie ma
non according to the spirit, and limitations of the
Constituton II my arprehensions are correct,
we have nothing TO hope for in this matter The
Exchequer B:ll OF the House, which recognizes
the appointment and remosal Of the officers named
in it, cannot command q respectable vote of either
Of the great parties and that of the Senate |
am mortified to say, will not be passed at this
session of Congress
The Presidents Message recommending the
suspension repeal of the Distribution Bill has
produced commoton in both Houses, the ill-
iluence Of which will be felt throughout the session
From the tone and character of the debate upon
the Loan Bill in the House to-day, perceive the
friends of Mr.. CLAY arc resolved to draw the
sword and throw away the scabbard. Mr. RAY
NOR Of n. c., Mr.. GENTRY Of Tenn. and Mr..
LANE of Ia poured forth torrent OF inv.'>tivc
against the President and his small band in that
bodv which has rarely been cquaed in eloquencc
of allegation and arragnment of motive in fact
WISE, PROFIT and the rest utterly demolished,
if the chargcs preferred against their political in
,egrty III all the burning sarcasm of this debate,
be not eficctaay rcfuted.
Without stint or qualification, they were pro-
nounccd the very incarnation OF demagoguesm,
and the supple min,ons of the Executive. With
the lofty professions of disintercsed patriotism,
they were declared TO be signaly destitute ofcvery
principle of vrtuou, freedom; to attain political
end their lips and their knscs were dsgracctully
employed in scrvilo homage at tho footstool OF
POWER. But their purposes once accomplished,
the mask war cast aside and their real character
shadowed forth in all tho disgusting liucaments of
it's black hypocrisy; and their high aspirations and
profound regard for the rig hts of their teow-eit-
2eus were for ever buried beneath tho exhibition OF
a low, sordid corruption.
Without pretending to report tho language en-
ployed bv the orators | believe have given tho
import of some Of tho most caustic passages l nc
Justice of the denunciation, in It's utmost length
and breadth, am NOT fully prepared to sndorse
But this | will say, that tho course OF MIR. Wise
aud his Immediate friends requires explanation
and profound repentance. And before they can
expect to be re-instatcd in public cstimation they
must rcpudiate ther present political conederntcs,
and make humble and sincere Acknowledgement
Of their past offences to the great Wing farty OF
the country
Tho debate in the Senate also, understand,
was full of power and interest. Mr.. Preston, Mr..
MASdUM, Mr.. BARROW, and MIR. ALLEN, oil ac-
ouit,ed themselves with unusual distinction The
two first named gentlemen were especially elo-
quent-thoush l regret to say there were some
rassaees levclled against tho President, that
might as well have been omitted. AS your regu-
lar correspondent will furnish you with synopsis
of the proceedings of to-day, will forbear further
notice of,hese spirited debates.
The following nominations were presented TO
The Senate this morning: J. w. MCuLLocH, of
Baltimore lst Comptroller; S. D. TURNER, Sur
yeyor of the Customs, Beverly, Mass; JAMES
GREGORY. Marblchcad J. S. GIBBS, Collector,
Beufort, n c.; II. NouRSE, Collector, APaln-
chicola Florida. Mr. McCulloch is undoubtedly
man of talent and attainment, and every way
mentally qualified for the position assigned ann
Bur il is said that his connection with the branch
Rank of IN. United States has left stain uPen his
character which, if unremoved, may render MS
confirmation somewhat doubtful. / trust nc wli
be ALE 10 satisfy the Senate that the rumor Is WITH
on, foundations; for the country is suffering tor the
want of the signature Of this -tiiccr Yours,
