MR.. JEFFERsoN'S TESTIMONY

Mr. Jefferson in his Memoirs says that
OIL the lltl of March l70S when The
bank bill was under discussion in the
House Of Representves, Judge Wilson
came in, and was standing by Baldwin
Baldwin reminded him of the following
fact which passed in the grand COM en-
tion. Among the enumerated power:
givenloCongress was onetO erect corpo,
ralions. 1t was on debate struck out. -
Several particulars powers were then
proposed. Among others, Robert Nor
ris proposed to give Congress power to
establish a National Bank. Governor
Morris opposed it. observed that it was
extremely Doubtful whether the Consti.
tuition they were framing could ever be
passed at all by the people Of America; i;
that TO give it its best chance, however,
they should make il aS palatable as pos.
Sibis, and put nothing into il not very
essential, which might raise up enemies;
that his colleauge Robert Moris) we'll
knew that "a bank was ia their State
(Pennsylvania) the very watch.word of
party; that bank had been the great
bone OF contention between the two par.
ties of the State, from the establishment
of their Constitution, having been
erected, put down and erected again,
again. as either partyp preonderated; that
therefore, TO insert this power, would in.
stantIy enlist against the whole instru-
ment' the whole OF the anti bank party in
Pennsylvania, Whersupon it was reiecied,
as was every other special power, except
that OF giving copyrights to authors, and
patents to inventors; the general power
OF interpretations being Whitfield down to
this shred. Wilson agreed to the fact.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
THE POST MASTER GENERAL.

The Baltimore Amer lean says, that q
most painful occurrence took place
Tuesday, on board the steam boat Geor.
gia, of the Baltimore and Norfolk Line.
1t appears that the boat on her passa se
TO Baltimore took on board at Old Point
Comfort several passenI gers, among them
the Hon. Mr.. WicklifFe, Post. Master Cen
erAl, his two daughters and several oth-
or persons and young man named J.
Mclean Gardner, son Of Col OK. Gard.
ner, of Washington city, formerly First
Auditor Of the POst Office Department.
During his stay at Old Point the con.
duct Of Mr.. Gardner was remarked BY
the visitors as Of a very singular charac.
ter, and the belief was generally onter.
tanned that he was laboring under mental
deEangement-a belief which was strong
y concurred in by Mr.. WicklifFe himself,
with whom he had several times been in
conversation. About half past one o.
clock yesterday, when the passengers
we're summoned to dinner, Mr.. Wickliffe,
who was standing on deck, offered his
arm to the ladies' who were with him, and
while in the act Of so doing, Gardner;
without any previous intimaIion, sudden.
ly sprung at Mr.. WickIffe, and aimed a
powerful blow with clasp knife at his
breast. The blade ofthe knife struck
the right breast bone with much force
and traversed the bone without, il isN

editor Of the Herald rsturned-the edito,
rial and Court house cliques we're assem-.
bled in "tin pam" earlier than usual that
day, the Evening Herald made its ap-
peaTance with the following notice.
"Mr. EDITOR: Please say 10 the pub
lie that the Court House will not be o.
Pened for meetings Of any kind, except
county meetings, for the future.
NJ. MILLEL, Sheriff.
by order of the county Commission
ers."
This decree from the wing sachems
was poser to the Hon Elk. II remin-
ded him of that ''resolution Of censure,' -
passed upon him by the last Congress;
which, like Macbeth's id spot would
not 'out! Although not out of his dis
trIct, ne was many miles from old Ashtu-
buIa, away from home and friends, among
enemies aud strangers, aud in disgrace.
When the hour came, he repaired to the
l'0nrl House Steps, sat down with few
friends, who, like Jobs cum(ortsrs, be,
gan TO bore him with questions about
those RESOLUTIONS to dissolve the Union.'
The company gradually increased, ques.
tons multiplied, until his small talk
swelled into a speech, lie blew his
whig trumpet loud and long abused
Gen. Jackson and Martin Van Buren,
dealt copiously IN the whig slang against
he present administration, and cursed
loco focoism generally. He then gave a
blast upon his abolition horn, hoping it
would give 'certain sound He claimed
TO be the champion of liberty, and espes
clally the rights Of Northern freeman.-
lie apologised for the anti,abolilon
speech of Henry Clay in 1889, by saying
that be was then in the keeping of those
high toned iSoulherners, Senator Preston,
The 'hangman,' and Waddy Thompson,
the 'combustblo gentleman;' that Mr.. |
Clay had since heartily repented of his
Pro-slavery sins, as had all Southern
wings. He claimed that slavery, in the
district of Columbia, was kett in exist
ance by loco foco votes;' and that the
whg party only wanted power to do all
the liberty party proposed to do.
Here ended Mr.. GiddDg's efforts to
enIghien the wings and liberty men of
this benighted city. This speech was
replied to the next evening by E. Wade,
Esq, the regular nominated liberty party
for this district, in so happy
and efectual manner as to elict cheers
and applause from democrats, wings,
and liberty mon. The false positions,
false statements and false logic of Mr.. |
Gddings were shown up in smch dang
Cling gnom;ny' as to leave no 6ther inn
preston of the man than an ambitious
and AmPhibious politician, and a poor a.
biology for statesman. He was discard
'dby the abolition convention for being
90 much a whig; lie is now discarded BY
he wings for being too much an aboli.
ionist; and he goes home with kicks Of
